Chapter 175 Private Actions
"unnecessary?"

The speaker was slightly taken aback, but before he could react, he saw a small metal ball silently float out of Lin Yi's waist, then quickly grow to the size of a fist and hover quietly in the air.

The appearance of this metal sphere instantly attracted everyone's attention.

It simply spun silently, exuding a chillingly sharp aura.

Elizabeth and other source energy warriors felt it particularly clearly; they even felt that the space around the small ball seemed to be slightly distorted.

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the 108 diamond-shaped slices of the sphere suddenly separated, like flowers being touched by an invisible hand, drawing dazzling trajectories in the air.

They did not scatter, but instead instantly reassembled at a speed that exceeded the limits of visual perception.

hum!
A buzzing sound, seemingly resounding deep within the soul, swept past.

In an instant, the 108 thin slices disappeared.

Instead, there were six slender black blades.

The six thin black blades appeared and then vanished instantly.

Without a sound of air being torn apart, without any energy fluctuations, and without even a slight breeze, they simply vanished into thin air in front of Lin Yi.

The entire welcoming scene fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, as if they hadn't yet recovered from what had just happened.

The speaker opened his mouth, as if trying to say something, but found that he could not make a sound.

The officials around him had frozen expressions on their faces, filled with bewilderment.

Even Elizabeth, and the Dongfeng students behind her who had witnessed some of Lin Yi's strength, felt a chill run down their spines.

Lin Yi, however, remained calmly standing in place, as if the astonishing scene that had just unfolded had nothing to do with him.

He even had the leisure to say to Elizabeth, "Lead the way, let's go inside the branch school and find a place where I can see how you've been progressing these days."

Elizabeth snapped back to her senses, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and respectfully replied, "Yes, Headmaster!"

Meanwhile, in the English Islands and surrounding waters, the cores of six large nests marked as extremely dangerous areas remain.

Corrosive venomous dragons dwelling atop abandoned nuclear power plant reactors, giant clawed lobsters lurking in the depths of the strait, lightning-winged flying pythons hovering in the eye of storms in the northern mountains, and bloodthirsty abyssal bats lurking in the crypts of ancient castles.
The six leaders of the massive lair, who held sway over their respective territories and instilled fear in the British military, all felt, almost simultaneously, a deadly crisis originating from the depths of their souls.

Some roared in alarm and anger, some tried to burrow into the deepest part of their nests, and some unleashed all their primal energy in an attempt to resist.
But all the struggles were in vain.

The next moment, a tiny, almost imperceptible black thread silently swept past.

These enormous and terrifying beings, along with the shields they attempted to form and the attacks they unleashed, were reduced to the finest dust, drifting away silently, leaving only fist-sized, shimmering blue-gold spirit crystals as proof that they had once existed.

Subsequently, these Radiant Crystals, as if drawn by invisible threads, rose into the air from six different directions, streaking across the sky above England at extremely high speeds, precisely heading towards the Renton Tower branch campus, and finally silently disappearing into the interior of the Starburst Fighter hovering outside the campus in a semi-activated optical camouflage state.

This process was also carried out silently.

Apart from Lin Yi, the instigator, and Elizabeth and other Stardust-level Source Energy Users who also possessed Soul Power, everyone else present, including the political figures, was completely unaware.

Of course, Elizabeth and the others were able to notice only because Lin Yi had no intention of deliberately concealing it.

At this moment, the Speaker of the English Parliament maintained a perfectly warm smile, seemingly completely immersed in the atmosphere of accompanying the tour of the campus. However, he subtly slowed his pace, his gaze sweeping discreetly toward a high-ranking official in charge of security and intelligence affairs behind him, offering an inquiring look.

The official understood immediately and quietly fell behind the marching group.

He first pretended to straighten his tie, then turned around naturally, as if he were only interested in the buildings by the roadside, walking at a leisurely pace until he was more than a hundred meters away, assuming that his conversation would not be heard.

He strode over to an officer in a crisp military uniform who was responsible for perimeter security and coordination, and gave a few instructions in a low voice and at a rapid pace.

The officer's expression hardened, and he immediately raised his hand to press the miniature communicator hidden in his ear. His lips moved slightly, clearly indicating that he was urgently contacting some department.

The entire exchange was brief and efficient.

Within minutes, the lagging senior official had adjusted his expression and quickly caught up with the visiting group.

He came to the speaker's side and made no extra movements, only nodding very slightly, so slightly that it was almost imperceptible.

The speaker's smile remained unchanged as he continued to enthusiastically introduce the campus plan to Lin Yi, as if the little incident from earlier had never happened.

He was extremely shrewd. Even though his heart was in turmoil and he was certain that the six threats that haunted England like nightmares had been wiped away with a few words, he could still maintain a perfectly composed demeanor on the surface.

However, Lin Yi seemed to sense something, glancing at the returning officials with a half-smile before resuming his previous indifference, as if he hadn't seen anything or that anything had happened.

This subtle shift in atmosphere was keenly noticed by Elizabeth, who had been accompanying them and acting as their guide.

She was incredibly clever and immediately guessed what the brief separation and whispered conversation had been about.

A barely perceptible hint of embarrassment crossed her beautiful face.

The fact that the first reaction of the country's high-ranking officials to privately confirm the principal's miraculous power seemed petty to her, a student deeply influenced by the Dongfeng Military Academy's ideology.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Adams, who was standing on the other side of Lin Yi.

Adams had clearly noticed the undercurrents that had just occurred, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face as well. When he met Elizabeth's gaze, they both saw the same helplessness in each other's eyes.

Chen Yu, who was standing a little further back and taking in the whole scene, found the sight quite interesting. He couldn't help but smirk, and quickly rubbed his nose with the back of his hand to suppress it.

He clearly understood the "little trick" just now, and at the same time, he noticed Elizabeth's somewhat embarrassed expression.

Their eyes met.

A clear sense of helplessness flickered in Elizabeth's icy blue eyes. She shrugged slightly at Chen Yu, a bitter, self-deprecating smile playing on her lips, as if to say, "See? This is the reality of politics."

Upon receiving this signal, Chen Yu was initially taken aback, but then understood Elizabeth's awkward situation as a "sandwich generation".

He winked at Elizabeth, giving her a relaxed "I understand, it's okay" look, and even silently mouthed "relax" to her.

The bond between classmates transcended the subtlety of the occasion at this moment, slightly easing Elizabeth's embarrassment.

She withdrew her gaze, a polite smile returning to her face, and focused her attention back on explaining the layout of the branch school and the future teaching area plans to Lin Yi. However, her voice was clearer than before, as if to dispel the strange atmosphere of that moment.

The visiting group continued to move slowly through the campus.
