Chapter 34: The Dust Settles

The battle was over, and the dust had finally settled. Looking at Autumn now, he was lying flat on the sunken ground, just like a real turtle, completely motionless. His eyes were rolling around with stars flashing in them.

"Teacher, teacher!" The students from Canghui Academy finally snapped out of their shock when they saw Autumn in such a sorry state. They rushed over immediately and shook their teacher vigorously.

However, Autumn at this moment didn't react at all to the students' shaking. A soul master without the protection of their martial spirit, having suffered such a huge impact, couldn't come to his senses so easily.

After the attack, Aria glanced at Autumn expressionlessly and then turned to look at Leo. But she found that Leo had already withdrawn his soul power and was teasing the little fox, walking towards the entrance of the restaurant.

Seeing this scene, Aria's heart skipped a beat. A hint of relief appeared on her cold face. Then she also withdrew her soul power, left silently without saying goodbye to anyone.

"Zhuqing..." Blake couldn't help calling out when he saw Aria's figure. But seeing that she didn't seem to hear him at all, he finally swallowed the words back.

At this time, Max came to Blake's side. He slapped his chubby hand on Blake's shoulder, looked at Leo and Aria walking into the restaurant, and said earnestly, "Boss Dai, I think you'd better give up. That cold beauty clearly has a crush on Brother Wu. You don't stand a chance."

Normally, Max was carefree and looked a bit sleazy whenever he saw a beautiful girl. But when it came to brotherly feelings, he was reliable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up those ideas because of Ryan, Blake, and Oscar. He didn't want to see everyone fighting over female students.

"..." Blake clenched his fists and then slowly loosened them. This time, he didn't refute Max's words.

Aria had never been interested in him before, and now she clearly had feelings for Leo. He really should let go. Although their two families had a long - standing marriage arrangement, it was all decided by the elders. Hadn't he ever thought of rebelling in the past?

But Leo was already married. They were definitely impossible to be together. And it seemed that Leo didn't have any feelings for Aria. Didn't Aria know that she was just like a moth flying into the fire?

So, he had to become stronger and perform better to prevent Aria from getting deeper and deeper into this.

Seeing that they had won against the teacher from Canghui Academy but the atmosphere had become so strange, the people from Rekdo looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

No one could interfere in this kind of thing. They could only rely on themselves. Everyone hoped that they could see things clearly and let go of their obsessions.

"Cough... You, you brats, stop right there!" Somehow, Autumn recovered from his dizziness. With the help of his students, he shouted at the little monsters from Rekdo who were about to enter the restaurant.

"What, got taught a lesson by my students and still not convinced? Wanna fight again? Your Canghui Academy is something else!" Before the little monsters could say anything, a deep voice came from the distance, and Gordon's figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Teacher Zhao!" Ryan and the others shouted immediately when they saw Gordon appear.

"Yeah." Gordon nodded and then said, "You little monsters did a great job today. I'm really happy. You didn't embarrass Rekdo."

In fact, Gordon had been watching from a distance even before the battle started. He had originally thought that these little monsters would definitely get stage - fright when facing a Soul King. But he never expected that things would go far beyond his expectations.

Not only did none of them show any signs of fear, but they were all full of confidence. In the end, they even shocked him. They actually beat the teacher from Canghui Academy, a Soul King - level opponent!

This result was something he hadn't even imagined. It was simply unbelievable. No, "unbelievable" wasn't enough to describe it. It was completely a miracle.

You know, among these little monsters, Blake, who had the highest soul power, was only level 37. He was more than ten levels lower than this "old turtle" who was over level 50.

As for the others, Oscar had just reached level 30, and the other six people and one beast were all Great Soul Masters in their twenties. Such a lineup was able to defeat a Soul King above level 50. It could only be described in two words - terrifying!

They were truly little monsters, the Seven Monsters and One Monster Genius of Rekdo!

Of course, Gordon still felt extremely emotional about Leo's soul skills. Anyone who fought against him for the first time and didn't know about his soul skills would definitely suffer a big loss.

Surprise was the best strategy in team tactics. That kid's combat awareness was simply out of this world.

He himself had been tricked by that kid twice because of this before, which was really embarrassing. But today, he was extremely happy. Even the depression from being severely beaten by Lord Hector was thrown to the back of his mind.

Hearing Teacher Zhao's praise, everyone from Rekdo had big smiles on their faces. They all knew that Teacher Zhao was the type who liked to criticize students rather than praise them. Now that he praised them out of the blue, one could imagine how happy they were.

"Don't get too cocky. This time, it's because the other side didn't know about Leo's soul skills that they suffered a loss. If you fight again, you're still no match for this old turtle." Maybe he felt that what he said just now didn't match his usual style, or maybe he was afraid that these little monsters would get too arrogant, Gordon added.

"Yes, Teacher Zhao." The little monsters, who had been feeling complacent just now, immediately wilted like eggplants beaten by frost when they heard this.

Seeing Gordon appear, Autumn asked, "Are you their teacher?"

"Yeah, what's up?" Gordon nodded, waved his hand to let the students go in first, and then looked at Autumn.

"Your academy's students insulted our Canghui Academy just now. Don't you think you should give us an explanation?" Autumn said in a deep voice.

He had stepped in to help his students but not only didn't get any advantage, but was also tricked once. Now, Autumn just wanted to save the face of Canghui Academy by reasoning.

"Hmph, an explanation? What explanation? You couldn't even beat my students, and you still want me to give you an explanation?" Gordon said domineeringly.

"You!" Autumn almost choked on his own anger when he heard this. He didn't expect that arrogant kid's soul skills to be so weird. If he had known, he wouldn't have stood there stupidly to defend.

But now, he could only swallow this anger. Should he find those brats to fight again? Even if he could afford to lose face, Canghui Academy couldn't.

He was helpless against Gordon's arrogance. Those brats were all so powerful. The other side's strength must be even stronger than his. If they fought again, he would definitely be the one who lost face.

He didn't want to be a masochist, and he didn't have that kind of tendency. He just felt really unwilling in his heart. He was so angry that he was shaking, but he couldn't do anything.

The students around Autumn also held his hands, fearing that the two sides would fight again. After all, they had already lost enough face today and didn't want to lose face again with their teacher.

"Hmph!" Seeing Autumn's cowardly look, Gordon snorted coldly and then ignored him and walked into the restaurant.

Watching Gordon walk into the restaurant, Autumn gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Rekdo Academy, we'll see about that!"

He had remembered today's grudge and would definitely get it back in the future!!!
