Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 179 Black Scythe Pierces the Sky
Zhou Yuxuan understood.

The principal was about to make a powerful declaration in America, in a way that surpassed their imagination, to firmly establish the unshakeable authority of Dongfeng Military Academy and the Blue Star Community. He nodded silently, with both a rational expectation and a touch of anticipation for the scene to come.

The Starburst fighter jet slightly adjusted its direction and accelerated towards the coastline of the North American continent.
-
Outside a cluster of buildings along the Hudson River that had undergone emergency clearing and reinforcement, a delegation led by American Governor Charles Norton stood at the forefront.

This place was once the prestigious West Palace Military Academy, but it has now been designated as the temporary site of the America branch of the East Front Military Academy.

Governor Norton's hair was meticulously combed, and his face maintained the composure typical of a politician, but the slightly taut corners of his mouth betrayed his inner turmoil.

Behind him were several powerful military generals, as well as officials in charge of domestic security and energy affairs.

They wore sharp dress uniforms or military uniforms, striving to maintain the demeanor of a great power, but their eyes involuntarily drifted towards the empty sky.

A few steps away from this group of political figures and military personnel was another, more conspicuous group.

There were about thirty people, led by Andrei, all dressed in the regular uniforms of the Dongfeng Military Academy, with the Dongfeng insignia on their chests.

Andrei took a deep breath, feeling the energy flowing through his body. He recalled the days and nights he had spent training in Helu City. He longed to see the principal again, but he was also worried about how the principal would face his homeland this time.

Suddenly, without any warning, about fifty meters above the ground, a previously empty blue background began to ripple like water.

Immediately afterwards, a jet-shaped aircraft, entirely dark blue with near-perfectly smooth lines, slowly "slid" out of the distorted light and shadow without any buffer, as if it had always been hidden there.

The Starburst Fighter hovered silently, exuding a cold, technological aura, like the eye of an ancient behemoth scrutinizing its prey.

On the ground, all the whispers and commotion instantly fell silent.

Governor Norton's pupils contracted slightly, and the general beside him clenched his fists instinctively. He had not received any notification, which meant that the energy detector they had acquired had not captured any information.

The next moment, the hatch slid open silently.

Two figures stepped forward, with Lin Yi standing in mid-air with Zhou Yuxuan.

Subsequently.

Lin Yi simultaneously released the source energy fluctuations and soul pressure that he had habitually suppressed.

"boom!"

A powerful surge of primal energy, mixed with a heavy pressure from the soul, descended upon him with a deafening roar.

This is not an attack, but a natural difference brought about by the level of life, like a tiny antelope facing a prehistoric behemoth awakening.

"Uh!"

"ho"

Muffled groans and gasps of cold air rose and fell.

Governor Norton felt as if he had been plunged into the deep sea at a depth of 10,000 meters in an instant. The immense pressure squeezed in from all directions, causing him to stop breathing, his face to turn red instantly, and he almost knelt down.

Those battle-hardened generals were not having an easy time either.

Their pride in their willpower seemed utterly laughable in the face of such a pure disparity in strength; veins bulged on their foreheads, and cold sweat instantly soaked through their inner shirts.

Andrei and the Dongfeng students behind him felt it most clearly and suffered the most.

The source energy within their bodies, under this oppressive force, was like a frozen stream, its flow sluggish and almost stagnant.

Andrei gritted his teeth, his legs trembling slightly, and he used all his willpower to keep from collapsing.

He looked up at the suspended figure, his previous excitement replaced by unparalleled horror.

This...this is the principal's true strength? Just the pressure he naturally exudes makes these Stardust-level beings feel like candles flickering in the wind?
Even more chilling was the discovery that a fist-sized metal sphere was silently hovering beside Lin Yi's shoulder. Its surface was completely covered by a deep black electric light.

The electric sparks were silently coiling and splashing, making the metal sphere look less like any known matter and more like a miniature, unstable cosmic black hole, emanating a chilling aura of annihilation.

After a few breaths, Lin Yi landed slowly with Zhou Yuxuan.

Walk with ease, undisturbed by a speck of dust.

The terrifying pressure of the source energy subsided slightly after the two landed, allowing the people on the ground who were almost suffocating to greedily breathe in the air.

But it still weighs heavily on everyone's heart and soul, like a real mountain.

Meanwhile, the Sphere of All Things continued to emit a destructive black light from its shoulder, coldly reminding everyone of its presence.

Governor Norton forcefully channeled the composure honed by years of political maneuvering, suppressing the fear that threatened to burst forth from his body. He stepped forward, striving to make his voice sound as calm as possible, "Principal Lin Yi, welcome to America. This must be Principal Zhou Yuxuan?"

He skipped all the pre-arranged pleasantries and went straight to the point.

He sensed that the other person wasn't interested in listening to those things.

"good."

Lin Yi nodded slightly in response.

Then, his gaze passed over the group of representatives at the pinnacle of power and landed directly on the Dongfeng students, led by Andrei, who were trying to straighten their backs.

This almost dismissive attitude caused a hint of humiliation to flash across the faces of the generals behind Norton.

But more than anything, it felt like a powerless situation.

"Today, the Dongfeng America Branch School is established," Lin Yi said calmly. "As a congratulatory gift..."

Before he finished speaking, the omnipresent sphere wrapped in black lightning, resembling a miniature black hole, on his shoulder suddenly disintegrated.

There was no earth-shattering noise, only a tooth-grinding, subtle hum as if space was being forcibly torn apart by extreme force.

It instantly transformed into one hundred and eight more condensed and deeper black streams of light.

These streams of light slowly unfolded above Lin Yi's head, like soldiers being inspected, precisely arranged, and instantly condensed into fifteen dark light cones, each about three feet long.

Fifteen dark light cones floated silently, seemingly absorbing all the light around them, making the sky above Lin Yi's head appear somewhat dimmer.

A destructive wave, so powerful it sent shivers down the spines of Andrei and the other Stardust-level students, spread out like a chilling tide.

"Within your country, there are a total of fifteen registered large-scale nests." Lin Yi's tone was calm, as if he were reading out a pre-determined death list.

The next moment, he slightly raised his eyes, looked at the distant horizon, and a thought occurred to him.

"Om!!"

The fifteen dark light cones moved.

Unlike before, this time they did not disappear silently, but suddenly appeared in deep space, followed by a deep hum.

Immediately afterwards, fifteen dark light cones, like world-destroying lights breaking free from their restraints, shot out in fifteen completely different directions, leaving trails several kilometers long and pitch black.

Their speed exceeds the limits of visual perception, yet they deliberately leave an indelible black trail, like the Grim Reaper's scythe slicing through the sky, clearly imprinted on the retinas of everyone who looks up at the heavens.

At this moment, throughout America, anyone who looked up could see this apocalyptic scene.
