He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Zhao Qinghong genuinely didn't want to see the situation deteriorate further.

On one side is Lu Chen, the "seed" invited by the Sage of Literature.

On one side is the Xiao family, which also has a "seed" background and deeply entrenched power.

He, the small city lord caught in the middle, was in a very difficult position.

"Oh?"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

I never imagined the Xiao family was more than just rich.

Are there people involved in the "Seed Project"?

No wonder Xiao Batian is so arrogant.

But what about that?

Even if the King of Heaven himself came today,

He must also make Liu Ruyan, the instigator, pay the price!

No matter how powerful the Xiao family is, can it be more powerful than the Xuanyuan family?

Can he compare to the literary master Shi Qianjun?

Anyone who dares to touch Lu Chen should first ask the Sage of Literature if he agrees!

Lu Chen has absolute confidence in his "Hongmeng" level professional value.

He believed that in order to save himself,

The sage of literature wouldn't even mind "cleaning up" the Xiao family.

However, while it may feel good to use someone else's power to intimidate them...

But nothing beats the satisfaction of taking revenge yourself.

He believed he had a hidden effect.

Given enough time to grow

With attributes that crush everything, even the Xiao family won't stand a chance.

But for now, let's collect some interest and let this wretched woman taste what it's like to be humiliated in public!

With his mind racing, Lu Chen stopped wasting words.

In front of everyone, he took out the "Shadow Stream" set he had just acquired from the black bracelet: Shadow Scale Battle Suit, Flowing Cloud Battle Pants, and Void Step Boots.

A faint light flashed, and three pieces of equipment instantly covered his original casual attire.

This added to his mysterious and sharp aura.

This smooth and effortless costume change left everyone present stunned.

"What's going on? Lu Chen changed his clothes?"

"He backed down? He wants to reconcile with Young Master Xiao?"

"Definitely! He's afraid of the Xiao family's power, so he changed his clothes to show he was being serious?"

Some students couldn't help but feel a sliver of hope and expectation.

They fantasized that the conflict would end there.

After all, in their hearts, Xiao Batian

He's still that unapproachable young master from a wealthy family.

However, what happened the next second completely stunned them!

Lu Chen, now fully equipped, fixed his icy gaze on Liu Ruyan, who was being protected by Xiao Batian, and growled:

"Void Step!"

Before he finished speaking, the cloud patterns on the Void Step boots beneath his feet glowed faintly.

The person vanished from the spot in an instant!

"What?!"

Where are they?!

Exclamations erupted from all sides.

The next moment, Lu Chen's figure appeared out of thin air in front of Liu Ruyan like a ghost!

They were so close, almost face to face!

This sudden teleportation was faster than anyone could react.

Even Xiao Batian, who was blocking the way, only felt a blur before his eyes.

"Smack—!!!"

A loud, forceful slap.

It slapped hard across Liu Ruyan's beautiful face!

Liu Ruyan screamed in pain, staggering backward as she was slapped.

Half of her cheek swelled up instantly, revealing clear red marks from her five fingers.

Her carefully combed hair was now disheveled, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.

He looked utterly disheveled.

This slap not only stunned Liu Ruyan, but also stunned everyone present!

"Lu Chen... how... how dare he?!"

"To hit Liu Ruyan in front of Young Master Xiao?!"

"Is he insane?!"

The students were stunned, unable to believe their eyes.

This is no longer a provocation, this is a blatant declaration of war!

This is a trampling on the dignity of Xiao Batian and the entire Xiao family!

"You little thief! How dare you be so arrogant!!!"

A roar as loud as thunder suddenly exploded from the edge of the square!

A figure suddenly appeared, tearing through the air at an astonishing speed.

Even before he arrived, a suffocating pressure had already enveloped the location where Lu Chen was!

The newcomer was dressed in fine clothes and bore a resemblance to Xiao Batian, but exuded an even more imposing and furious aura.

It was Xiao Batian's father, the current head of the Xiao family—Xiao Lie!

He had only been observing secretly, but he never expected Lu Chen to be so audacious as to slap his son's fiancée in public!

This is utterly humiliating to the Xiao family!

In his rage, Xiao Lie no longer cared about "seeds" or anything like that.

What city lord was present?

In his eyes, there was only an arrogant little beast who was ignorant of his own limitations and had to be killed immediately!

"die!"

Xiao Lie was in mid-air, his right hand already clenched into a fist.

A dazzling golden light condensed on the fist.

It contains terrifying power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

He threw a punch at Lu Chen!

Wherever the fist passed, the air emitted a sharp, explosive sound!

This punch was clearly meant to blast Lu Chen into dust on the spot!

As for whether the Sage of Literature would pursue the matter after the killing?

Enraged, Xiao Lie didn't want to think about it at all!

In his view, a "seed" that has not yet grown up is dead and that's that!

"Damn it! That old geezer has no sportsmanship!"

Lu Chen cursed inwardly, his expression suddenly changing.

He felt as if he were being crushed by an invisible mountain.

He was completely paralyzed and even had difficulty breathing.

Is this the power of a high-level expert's furious strike?

The difference is too big!

The Void Step was still cooling down, so he had no way to avoid it!

At the critical moment!

A blurry black shadow, like a ghost tearing through space, moved even faster than Xiao Lie.

They arrived first, appearing in front of Lu Chen in an instant.

It stood between him and that devastating punch!

"The Xiao family, how dare you!"

A chilling, murderous female voice rang out.

"How dare they try to kill Young Master Lu Chen!"

The person who arrived was none other than Aunt Yao, who was ordered to secretly protect Lu Chen!

She had arrived sometime earlier, and was now dressed in tight black clothes.

He wore a cat paw mask and held a seemingly ordinary, sharp dagger in his hand.

Yet it exudes a chilling gleam.

Facing Xiao Lie's ferocious punch, powerful enough to kill a level 100 professional,

Aunt Yao casually slashed the dagger in her hand at the incoming fist force.

The movements were gentle, as if brushing away dust.

However, in that seemingly casual stroke,

Xiao Lie's powerful golden fist force

It felt as if I had stumbled upon an invisible yet sharp net.

In an instant, it was cut, broken down, and vanished without a trace!

This is not finished!

The invisible, sharp force continued its relentless advance.

Before anyone could react, it had already passed by Xiao Lie's body.

"Pfft—!"

A series of dense, slight cutting sounds rang out.

Xiao Lie's charging figure suddenly froze in mid-air.

His luxurious clothes looked as if they had been cut by countless sharp blades.

It instantly shattered into countless fragments, which fluttered down in all directions.

And on his exposed body

In an instant, it was covered with a dense network of crisscrossing bloodstains.

Blood seeped out, turning him into a blood-soaked figure!

The furious expression on Xiao Lie's face had long been replaced by boundless horror!

He could clearly feel the force of the opponent's attack just now.

Each wound precisely avoided his vital points.

He only suffered minor cuts and lacerations, making him look miserable, but he wasn't actually seriously injured.

What does this tell us?

This shows that the other party's control over power has reached an extraordinary level, and killing him would be as easy as turning one's hand!

"A...Shadow Assassin?!"

Xiao Lie's voice trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

He stared intently at the black-clad woman before him, whose aura was as deep and unfathomable as the sea.

"Who...who are you?!"

Why are you interfering in the affairs of my Xiao family?!

To be able to break his full-force attack so effortlessly

And it instantly left three hundred and sixty wounds on his body without harming his fundamental health.

Only those legendary, top-tier shadow assassins, skilled in assassination and elusive in their movements, can do it!

This level of strength

How did they end up here? And why are they calling Lu Chen "Young Master"?
