When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 158 Night Kill
The Yi Academy, which focuses on the study of Yi studies, mathematics, astronomy, geography and other academic disciplines, is also quite particular about its location.

Historically, astronomical constellations have focused on Polaris, also known as Ziwei Star, which is why the Yi Academy is located in the North Campus of Wuhan University, north of Yujing University.

However, this would make things a bit tough for Bai Ze.

He lives on the South Campus; he had previously run all the way from the South Campus.

The South Campus and the North Campus vividly illustrate what it means to go in opposite directions. The two campuses are already large, and there is also a Central Campus in between, which can make people run around until their legs are exhausted.

Most importantly, the use of any means of transportation, even two-wheeled bicycles, is prohibited on campus.

Bai Ze landed from mid-air and stood on the wide road. Looking north, he could only see the shadows of some buildings in the distance, which were still buildings from the central campus.

The thought of having to travel this route frequently in the future made him feel tired.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, Bai Ze should be admitted to Yi Academy.

Even if he doesn't join Yi Academy, Bai Ze still has to come over from time to time because the Astronomy Club is located here.

So, we'll have somewhere to go from now on.

But we'll talk about the future later. As for today...
Bai Ze dialed a number.

The call connected in less than two seconds, and Luo Shui's pretty face appeared on the small projection screen.

"Luoshui, are you asleep?" Bai Ze greeted her warmly.

"If you're not asleep, get out."

The smiling tiger wasn't smiling today; he was filled with resentment. "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. I don't take in stinky men here."

That's right, Bai Ze's expedient plan was to spend the night at Luoshui.

The students who came to take the exam were staying at the on-campus hotel in the North Campus.

Luoshui has finished the exams today, but since Yujing Martial Arts University is located in the suburbs, the students and parents who came to take the exams can stay one more night and leave tomorrow.

Taking into account the need for parents to accompany their children, almost every room is a double room, and triple rooms are also available for an extra fee.

Luo Shui doesn't have parents, or rather, Bai Ze wouldn't mind being her parent for once.

Luo Shui was clearly aware that Bai Ze had just had a confrontation with the Astronomy Society.

Although she couldn't attend in person, she could watch the live stream online, where countless people acted as on-site reporters.

Therefore, Luo Shui immediately saw through Bai Ze's thoughts.

"Luo Shui, you know me. I'm not interested in smelly women." Bai Ze was tolerant of Luo Shui's words and kindly explained.

He was always exceptionally tolerant when he needed help from others, which is why he had many adoptive fathers in his past life.

As for the other questions...

In the past few months, Luo Shui had spent a night meditating with Bai Ze in the quiet room, and this lesbian even tried to corrupt Bai Ze's Dao heart in order to ruin Bai Ze's impression on Mu Yaoguang.

As it turned out, Bai Ze had absolutely no interest in her. He actually meditated all night and even breathed a sigh of relief when he left, which infuriated Luo Shui.

"I'm so sorry that I smell bad."

Luo Shui's face darkened further, but then she suddenly smiled and said, "Fine, come here and look at the ledgers and documents with me tonight."

The documents from the Alchemy Society had already been sent to Luo Shui, prompting her to review them overnight, which is why Luo Shui was so resentful.

"Actually, I wanted to go and help Luo Shui with her worries." Bai Ze seized the opportunity to climb up the ladder.

Anyway, let's get there first and see what happens. As for how to slack off later, that's up to Bai Ze's skills.

With that, Bai Ze headed toward the on-campus hotel where Luo Shui was staying.

“Old Bai,” Luo Shui asked, “which gang are you planning to target next? You’ve taken down two gangs in a row, Yun Shu’s side is probably getting restless, and their response should be coming soon.”

By then, it won't be so easy to succeed.

"Let's use the bills you compiled, Wenhua Press."

As Bai Ze walked, he said, "As for Yun Shu, he might not be able to spare the time. Their family relationship is quite tense right now, which is enough to take up his energy. And when the Yuan Realm exploration project restarts, who do you think will lead the exploration?"

Of course it's Yun Shu, could it be Bai Ze?

If we compare Yujing Martial Arts University to a sect, then Yun Shu is the senior disciple of that sect, and naturally, the senior disciple should take the lead in such matters.

The more resources and power one enjoys, the more responsibilities and obligations one must bear; this is unavoidable.

Furthermore, the Yun family proposed restarting the exploration of the metaverse, so they naturally had to take the lead.

As for Bai Ze, he was just a newcomer, pitiful, weak, and helpless, and could not shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

The five cities and twelve buildings of Yujing Martial Arts University still need to be supported by Senior Yun Shu.

This is why Bai Ze and Mu Yaoguang wanted to restart the Yuanjie exploration project.

This was partly because Mu Yaoguang didn't want to embarrass her teacher too much, and partly because restarting the project wasn't a bad thing.

"Ugh~" Luo Shui made a disgusted sound, "Old Bai, you're so mean."

Sending Yun Shu to explore the Yuan Realm while he himself caused trouble at Yujing Martial Arts University—that's just too wicked.

"So, are you happy or not?" Bai Ze said.

"I'm so happy, I couldn't be happier. We must give Yun Shu a big surprise while he's away."

As Luo Shui continued speaking, she let out a little devil's laugh, "Hehehe..."

Bai Ze was so excited by this that he wanted to laugh out loud.

However, considering that such laughter was too villainous, Bai Ze held back.

He may have done something despicable, but he assured that his heart was good, so Bai is definitely not a villain.

"Enjoyable, enjoyable."

Bai Ze walked briskly towards the school hotel.

The night breeze brought a refreshing coolness. Although it was already summer in June, the nights were not too hot, and Bai Ze felt quite comfortable at the moment.

The wind even carried a hint of ice... cold!

A chilling light flashed and disappeared in an instant, piercing Bai Ze's nape with incredible speed.

A sudden surge of heat instantly transformed the night breeze into a hot wind.

A protective aura automatically formed on the back of Bai Ze's neck, converting the incoming force into heat energy. However, a sharp sword aura still managed to break through the aura.

But in that instant, another layer of armor was formed.

Bai Ze's Phase Shift Protective Divine Art has always been blessed by the power of words, so even the fastest attacks will automatically activate the Qi Armor to defend against them before they reach him.

In some ways, Bai Ze has always been on the defensive.

The second layer of qi armor finally blocked the sword energy. Rolling internal energy surged from his body, instantly condensing into a giant hand that slammed backward.

"Shotgun marks".

The energy burst forth, spreading like bullets, numbering in the hundreds, completely covering the area behind.

However, this attack completely missed its target.

The attackers behind him vanished silently, and an even more ferocious sword aura followed on the wind.

This is an assassination, an assassination carried out with murderous intent.

Right here at Yujing Martial Arts University, right after Bai Ze defeated the Astronomy Club.

The newcomer's aura was no stronger than Sima Ming's, but his moves were far more ruthless, each strike aimed at taking a life. The night wind, mixed with sword energy, struck the illusory image of the Dharma body that subsequently appeared, leaving numerous sword marks.

The first sword strike was fatal, yet its power and killing intent were concealed for the sake of secrecy.

Now, it's a brutal killing.

A dark shadow flashed by in the wind, seemingly merging with it, while its cold, sharp edge transformed into a wind blade.

quick! allow! ruthless!
But it is visible.

Bai Ze maintained "bullet time," his dynamic vision precisely capturing the trajectory of the sword blade, while the manifested illusory image of his Dharma form was shrunk and partially overlapped with his body.

By abandoning its massive size, it gained speed that perfectly suited its own characteristics.

"Its spirit soars to the heavens."

Bai Ze let out a soft shout, channeling his energy throughout his body, and his speed increased dramatically.

He reached out and grabbed it, like a dragon reaching out its claws, firmly gripping the sword's edge.

The flexibility of the body, unified with the will, is even greater than that of internal energy. The moment the hand grasps the blade, the sensation travels directly along the sword, allowing the user to grasp the opponent's figure.

This is the change brought about by the growth of the five senses.

Bai Ze had always displayed profound skill, but the strength of his physical body had never been known to outsiders.

The black and white phantom overlapped with the arm, and a surge of energy rippled outwards, colliding with the opponent's true energy.

Zheng!
The longsword clashed, the energy colliding, even causing the opponent to let out a muffled groan.

The dark figure stared at Bai Ze in horror.

Despite having gone through a series of intense battles, he still possesses such profound skill.

He immediately withdrew his hand and drew another sword from the longsword.

There's another sword hidden within a sword!
The energy was forcefully propelled, instantly reaching its peak and bursting forth with unparalleled explosive power.

The second sword, which had been dull and lifeless, suddenly emitted a brilliant white light, but its sinister aura vanished.

It's as if all the energy, even the essence and spirit, are poured into the sword, condensing into it, bringing unparalleled solidity and explosive power.

It is ten times faster than "Qi Guan Chang Hong" and its explosive power is also more than ten times stronger.

laugh--

The Phase Shift Protective Divine Skill automatically materialized, and even at such close range, the Qi Armor materialized in a timely manner. However, when faced with this sword, the Qi Armor was directly pierced through.

The sword energy condensed on the sword has already materialized, and the mismatched energy armor can't stop it!

but--

"Disarming an opponent with bare hands."

Bai Ze's arms, with their black and white afterimages, clamped the sword at the critical moment, as if by divine intervention, carrying a sense of destiny.

The internal energy was transformed, and a gust of wind was released from the palm.

"Return to nothingness".

The white light disintegrated inch by inch on the sword, melting away rapidly like ice and snow under the sun.

The phantom attached to the body suddenly swelled, transforming into a colossal upper body several meters tall, its palms like two small mountains, trapping the attacker.

The immense energy transformed into a force field and an aura, enveloping the opponent and solidifying them like an insect encased in amber.

But at the same time, a fierce burst of energy erupted from the opponent's body.

boom!
True energy erupted violently in his palms, crashing together, but Bai Ze's Dharma form remained as steady as Mount Tai, firmly restraining his opponent.

The burst of true energy surged in his palm, exploding into a cloud of blood mist that ravaged the attacker, leaving him a bloody mess.

In the end, all that remained between Faxiang's palms was an incomplete corpse.

The tattered clothes were stained with blood and were unrecognizable. The figure and face were also blurred and unrecognizable.

'It's both a final counterattack and suicide...tsk.'

Bai Ze clicked his tongue and threw the sword in his hand to the ground.

Faxiang loosened his grip and threw the corpse to the ground. However, among the mangled corpse, there was one thing that remained undamaged.

Or rather, it wasn't completely damaged.

The Dharma form transformed into a stream of energy, which grabbed a fragment.

"This is... a temporary ID card from Yujing Martial Arts University?"

To be fair, the things from Yujing Martial Arts University are of good quality; they weren't completely destroyed.

Despite having only a small fragment, Bai Ze recognized it as a temporary identity card for outsiders.

When he came to Yujing Martial Arts University to participate in the Youth Cup, he was also given this kind of identity card.

"So, they are parents of students who came to take the exam?"

Bai Ze said in a low voice.

At the same time, the wind howled, and a middle-aged man in uniform rushed over. When he saw the mangled corpse on the ground, his expression changed drastically.

It's late at night now, and most of the people who are still awake have gone to Yi Academy to see what's going on, and haven't come back yet.

The fight between Bai Ze and the attacker was intense yet brief, so much so that no third party intervened.

However, their aura still emanated outwards, alerting the school's security personnel, who quickly arrived at the scene.

"I am Bai Ze, and I was assassinated on campus."

Bai Ze turned his gaze to the burly man in uniform and said, "The assassin may have sneaked in by posing as a parent of a student who came to take the exam."

Upon hearing this, the burly man in uniform changed his expression again, but he quickly regained his composure, demonstrating his high level of professionalism.

He took out a device, scanned Bai Ze, and immediately Bai Ze's identity information was projected.

"Bai Ze, I am a member of the school's security department. This is my identification."

As he spoke, he produced his identification and simultaneously pressed the communicator in his ear, quickly saying, "An assassin infiltrated the school, attempting to assassinate Bai Ze, but was killed instead. We now suspect the assassin used the entrance exam to gain entry..."

The moment those words were spoken, the quiet night seemed to come alive.

The surrounding area lit up with bright lights, and a series of energy streams rapidly approached.

As a renowned martial arts university in Dongxia, Yujing Martial Arts University hasn't seen anything like this for many years.

The last time an outsider infiltrated with malicious intent was fifty years ago, when the Eastern Xia Federation and the Western Alliance were at odds over the Ying Kingdom issue.

Tonight is unlikely to be peaceful.

Who would want to kill me?

Bai Ze looked at the fragment enveloped in energy and took out his phone, which was still connected to the phone.

"Hello, it's me. I just encountered an assassination attempt, but it's been resolved now."

"Shuizi, you can't refuse me asking to stay the night this time, can you?"

"You're asking for lodging? You're really carefree."

On the other side came Luo Shui's exclamation and a sigh of relief.
