Chapter 1232: Suspicion (Please Subscribe)_1

Hearing their flustered discussion, Xu Sheng revealed an innocently harmless smile and said, "Run? Didn't you say you wanted to make this my grave? If you leave now, wouldn't that be a slap to your own face?"

With these words, the Soul Masters cursed inwardly, "If we don't leave now, this is going to be our grave!"

They originally thought that this guy was so young that at most he was just a Soul Ancestor or Soul King, but who would have thought that he was even more terrifying than them—a Soul Emperor!

And what was with that Soul Ring Configuration?

Without a Spirit Soul, but purely absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, doesn't that mean he has the strength to kill a hundred-thousand-year soul beast at will!

Thinking of this, their foreheads sweated even more profusely as they tentatively said, "That... Sir, this is all just a misunderstanding, we were just joking."

"Exactly, exactly, although there was a small friction, how could we possibly bear any killing intent towards you, it was all just a joke!"

"Sir, if we have caused you any dissatisfaction, we are willing to offer compensation..."

A corner of Xu Sheng's mouth lifted, "Is that really the case?"

Seeing that he didn't outright refuse, a look of elation flashed across the faces of the Soul Masters...

As long as they could still talk, there was a chance to live! They didn't have the tiniest bit of courage to fight back—joking aside, that terrifying pressure alone was enough to paralyze them!

The leading middle-aged man obsequiously said, "It is really so, my lord. Could you perhaps let us..."

Before he could finish, Xu Sheng interrupted, "Wouldn't letting you go so easily be a bit too lenient?"

Upon hearing this, the Soul Masters realized what was expected and hurriedly said, "We understand! We understand!"

The next moment, they immediately handed over several valuable items they had on them, as well as a considerable amount of federation coins to Xu Sheng!

Little did they know, Xu Sheng merely glanced at them indifferently and said calmly, "Is this all? I'm afraid that compared to your lives, this hardly amounts to anything!"

As his words fell, his oppressive aura intensified once more, filling the entire space with a sense of suffocation!

Realizing the discontent in his words, their complexions grew even worse...

However, under the absolute power of the other party, they could only clench their teeth and hand over everything they had left...

Xu Sheng pursed his lips, then smiled and said, "Hmm, this is just about alright. Hand over your Battle Armor and then you are free to leave!"

As soon as this statement was made, the Soul Masters in front of him all widened their eyes, a trace of anger seeping into their gaze...

"What?! Sir... that's not really appropriate, is it? We've given you all the valuables we had!"

"Sir, this seems a bit unkind of you, to even ask us to hand over our Battle Armor. Isn't this going a bit too far..."

They had already surrendered their most precious possessions to this guy, but he still wanted to take their Battle Armor!

Xu Sheng's expression suddenly turned cold, and with an effortless flick of the Ice Rose Sword, a cold and deadly arc of light instantly cut through the air, causing the space to tremble with a crack...

He said coldly, "You don't have the luxury of choice right now, because even if I kill you, I can still get these things!"

Facing the blatant threat, the Soul Masters looked at each other, hesitant, "What do we do? Do we really give him our Battle Armor?"

"Nonsense, our lives are far more important than the Battle Armor!"

"We paid a hefty price for this Battle Armor. It's unbelievable that it has come to this after such a short time of use!"

"Stop the nonsense! Quickly take off your Battle Armor and get out of here!!"

East Sea Academy, they would remember this!

They wouldn't let this go so easily!!

After angrily glancing at Xu Sheng, these Soul Masters reluctantly removed their Battle Armor…

The lead middle-aged man grimly said, "Sir, we've done as you asked, can we leave now?"

Xu Sheng glanced at the Battle Armor on the ground, and said softly, "Of course, you may leave."

Hearing these words, the Soul Masters finally breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts, "Huu…"

Although they had lost everything, at least this fellow hadn't gone back on his word!

However, just as they were lost in thought, a terrifying sword light, several tens of meters in size, came slashing towards them…

The middle-aged man who reacted shouted in horror, "You… you actually da…"

Before he could finish speaking, along with the other Soul Masters, they were all torn into a bloody mist by the sword light…

Xu Sheng stretched lazily, his expression unchanged, and said indifferently, "I only said you could leave, I never said I wouldn't strike!"

After speaking, he turned and disappeared from this secluded place…

…

The next day! Dawn crept in quietly!

Wei Xiaofeng called out loudly, "Today is the second round of the competition, everybody get pumped up!!"

Xie Xie rubbed his eyes, annoyed, "Are you crazy? It's early in the morning; can't you see everyone is still not fully awake?"

Xu Xiaoyan prayed, "I really don't know which team we'll be facing today, I hope it's not the Youth Division! The gap in soul power rank is still quite big!"

Gu Yue glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, this time the Youth Division is prioritized to compete against other Youth Divisions, although it is by drawing lots…"

Seeing them all becoming spirited, Xu Sheng smiled and said, "If everyone's awake, then get ready to leave; the competition starts in an hour!"

"Da da da~~"

Just then, there was a knock on the door…

Following that, Long Hengxu and an older man entered, the latter with a badge visibly on his chest, clearly a staff member of the Skysea Alliance!

The latter's profound eyes fixed on Xu Sheng, expressionless, he said, "You are the teacher of Zero Class from East Sea Academy, correct?"

Although Director Long was anxious, he refrained from saying anything…

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng, not the least bit intimidated, met his gaze with a smile and said, "Yes, may I know why you're looking for me?"

Surprise flashed across the older man's face, then he said coldly again, "The Skysea Alliance suspects you of attacking another academy's teacher, please come with me."

At these words, the students of Zero Class all cried out in shock, "What? That's impossible!"

"The Skysea Alliance must be mistaken; how could Teacher Xu possibly do such a thing!"

"Director Long, please explain, Teacher Xu isn't that kind of person!"

Hearing this, Long Hengxu couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Although I also believe that Teacher Xu wouldn't do that, the only one who had a conflict with that teacher yesterday was Teacher Xu."

At this, Tang Wulin and the others clenched their teeth tightly, not quite sure what to say…
