Gao Wu: I'll enjoy the benefits, but you'll bear the side effects.

By doing this, Gao Jie has undoubtedly driven himself into a corner, completely cutting off all avenues of retreat.

He knew that his disobedience would cause a huge uproar, but his inner convictions prevented him from submitting to Qin Xianglong's dark orders.

Qin Xianglong had only hoped that Gao Jie would cooperate obediently and complete the tasks as planned, but he never expected that Gao Jie would openly defy his orders.

Qin Xianglong's face instantly turned terribly gloomy, as if dark clouds were gathering and a storm was about to break.

His eyes, which had initially held a hint of expectation, were instantly filled with anger and astonishment, and the veins on his forehead bulged like twisted earthworms.

He had thought this young man could be used by him and become a capable assistant, but now, this continuous resistance surprised and angered him.

The anger in his heart burned like a raging fire, growing ever stronger, and reason was almost completely consumed at that moment.

He slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacups to tremble and spill a little tea, which flowed freely across the smooth surface, as if trembling with the tense atmosphere.

"This kid is simply courting death!" Qin Xianglong roared.

He then viciously ordered his men, "Listen to me! I'm telling you, kill him! Do you hear me? Kill him! I don't want him to see the sun rise tomorrow!"

The voice was icy cold, carrying an undeniable authority and murderous intent. Each word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, echoing in the silent space and sending chills down one's spine.

The subordinates dared not be negligent in the slightest and responded in unison, "Yes, boss!"

Then he hurriedly ran out, his footsteps echoing in the empty corridor like a death knell, each step seemingly treading on the strings of Gao Jie's destiny.

At this moment, Gao Jie was filled with bitterness and helplessness. He never imagined that he would almost become a tool for others to do evil and a henchman of dark forces.

He stood alone in that slightly dim corner, the air around him seemed to become heavy, making it hard for him to breathe.

But at this critical moment, a beautiful woman in a short skirt appeared as if a fairy had descended, standing quietly not far away, watching him calmly.

Her figure swayed gently in the breeze, the hem of her short skirt fluttering in the wind, yet it did not diminish her composed aura in the slightest.

Gao Jie, filled with doubt, blinked and asked loudly, "Who are you?"

The beautiful woman lightly flicked her exquisite handbag, took graceful steps, and slowly walked over, her eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny, muttering softly to herself:

"Your name is Gao Jie, right? You're quite an interesting young man. I initially thought you were very capable, but it seems you haven't disappointed me at all. Let me introduce myself, my name is Davidra, and I'm your new principal!"

Gao Jie still looked bewildered, scratched his head, blinked, and said, "Principal David, what do you want with me? Didn't I already drop out of school?"

Davidra's lips curled into a cold smile: "Who gave you permission to drop out of school like this? Let me tell you the truth, the school is currently searching for students who are trying to drop out and not studying properly, and you are one of them, understand? So now I need you to explain what stupid thing you did, or I'll lose my temper, do you hear me?"

Just as Gao Jie was about to speak, Davidra suddenly frowned, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes. Her keen senses, like an invisible net, instantly caught that subtle, unusual fluctuation in the air.

With a flash, she moved as swiftly as a ghost, instantly transforming into a black shadow. Her speed was so great that it seemed to have broken through the boundaries of space.

This movement technique was the "Phantom Step" she had cultivated. When moving at high speed, she could skillfully use the surrounding airflow to make her figure appear ethereal and elusive. Like a black shadow, she pulled Gao Jie behind her in an instant.

At the same time, a strong gust of wind swept in, carrying a strong killing intent.

This strong wind was like an invisible python, coiling and twisting in the air, tearing the air apart and emitting a sharp whistling sound wherever it went.

The attacker had clearly cultivated a fierce and domineering technique called "Mad Lion Force," which allowed him to condense his internal energy into such a ferocious force, making his full-force attack incredibly powerful.

David shouted, "Who did you offend? They attacked without hesitation; they were clearly trying to kill you."

Gao Jie also looked helpless: "The Qin family."

Davidra gave a cold laugh, a laugh brimming with arrogance and disdain: "I don't care whose side he's on. Since he's messed with my student, he's going against me. In that case, how can I let him get away with it?"

Davidra's abilities are truly remarkable; at such a young age, he is already a fifth-level expert and is renowned throughout this world.

She became a disciple of Lingxiao Zhenren, one of the Twelve True Men, from a young age, and cultivated the authentic "Lingxiao Yuqi Jue". This technique can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transform it into her own martial arts, and can be controlled at will to create various wonderful moves.

At this moment, facing this sudden attacker, Devilla showed no fear.

The attacker pounced like a wolf pouncing on its prey; he was burly and muscular, and every step he took made the ground tremble slightly.

His eyes were wide open, bloodshot, and burning with intense killing intent as he stared intently at Davidra, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

He slowly clenched his fists, his hands like steel pincers, and with the clenching motion, the veins on his fists bulged and throbbed like angry dragons.

Immediately afterwards, he took a deep breath, his chest bulging like a bellows, and the true energy of the "Mad Lion Force" poured into his arms from the depths of his body like a surging tide.

In an instant, the muscles in his arms expanded at a visible speed, like an inflated sac, and his strength reached its peak at that moment.

Then, like an arrow released from a bow, he charged toward Davidra with unstoppable momentum. Where his feet landed, shallow footprints appeared on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

His fists were like two black iron hammers, carrying an overwhelming force, drawing two black streaks of light in the air as they roared straight toward David Ramen's door.

This fierce strike, accompanied by a whooshing sound like the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves, was chilling to the bone. This move, "Black Tiger Claws Out the Heart," fully demonstrated its ferocity and domineering nature.

Davidra's face was calm and composed, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, carrying a confident smile that seemed to mock the other party's overestimation of his abilities.

There was no fear in her eyes, but rather a gleam of excitement, as if she were anticipating the battle.

Just as her opponent's fists were about to reach her face, she gracefully dodged to the side, like a petal drifting gently in a breeze, her movements natural and fluid, skillfully avoiding the fierce attack.

Her feet moved swiftly and nimbly, like swallows lightly touching the ground, her clothes fluttering in the wind, making her look like a fairy dancing gracefully.

In the instant she dodged to the side, she secretly activated the "Force Transfer" technique from the "Lingxiao Qi Control Technique," a sly glint in her eyes.

She skillfully redirected the force of the attacker's punch to the side, the whole process flowing naturally like clouds and water.

A nearby boulder was struck by the force of the impact. Unable to withstand the immense power, the boulder exploded with a loud "boom," sending fragments flying like projectiles and raising a cloud of dust.

Devilla did not let her guard down because of this brief victory; her eyes remained fixed on her opponent.

Then, her eyes narrowed, like a cold star twinkling in the night sky, and she seized the opportunity to strike without hesitation.

Her arm shot out like lightning, as fast as a shooting star, her fingers bending like steel hooks, instantly and precisely grabbing the attacker's tie.

At this moment, a faint blue light shimmered on her fingers, like the ghostly blue starlight in the night sky. This was a manifestation of the true energy released by the "Lingxiao Qi Control Technique," which not only enhanced the strength and grip of her fingers but also carried a trace of coldness.

Immediately afterwards, she let out a delicate shout, her voice clear and resonant, as if it contained boundless power.

With that delicate shout, she pulled hard, the powerful force seemingly capable of tearing through the void, directly dragging the attacker from not far away.

This "Serpent's Lure" move perfectly combines agility and dominance.

Davida was secretly pleased with herself. This move was created by her during a training trip in the deep mountains when she accidentally observed the hunting behavior of a spirit snake. After countless practices and improvements, she cleverly combined the true qi circulation techniques of the "Lingxiao Qi Control Technique" with the agility of the spirit snake. Today, when she used it, the effect was indeed extraordinary.

Gao Jie stood aside, completely stunned by the spectacular battle scene.

His eyes were wide open, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets; his mouth was agape, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground; he was filled with shock.

"Principal, how did you come to know this?"

Davidra, however, remained calm and composed, a faint smile on his face, a smile that conveyed ease and tranquility.

With a slight exertion, the veins on her arm bulged slightly, her muscles tensed, and she instantly snapped the pursuer's head off.

The entire movement was crisp and clean, without the slightest hesitation, as easy as breaking a dry twig.

The instant she snapped the other person's head, she secretly used the "Sealing Meridians and Locking Qi" technique from the "Lingxiao Qi Control Technique," a resolute glint in her eyes.

She knew the world was dangerous; enemies often used various secret techniques before they died, such as self-destruction to take others down with them or releasing hidden weapons to injure people.

This "sealing the meridians and locking the qi" method can promptly block the flow of true qi within the opponent's body, preventing a counterattack before death.

David secretly rejoiced that he had practiced diligently and was thoroughly familiar with various techniques; otherwise, he would have inevitably fallen into danger today.

Then, she calmly wiped her hands, as if she had just swatted a fly and nothing had happened, and continued to smile at Gao Jie, saying:

"Young man, you seem particularly curious. I won't lie to you, once you reach the fifth rank, you'll also possess this strength—the ability to pull away anyone who threatens you. It's incredibly powerful. By the way, why am I telling you this? Hurry up and go back to class. If I find out you dare to drop out again, I'll skin you alive!"

As he spoke, Principal David pushed him back, his attitude resolute and brooking no argument.

In short, taking a leave of absence from school is not allowed.

Despite Gao Jie's best efforts to explain, he was still forcibly sent back to school and strictly required to pass his exams.

This news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching Qin Xianglong's ears.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xianglong was shocked. He never expected that this woman, Davidla, would dare to interfere in these matters.

You have to understand, he sent out his strongest fighters, who were renowned experts in the martial arts world, and they were so easily killed by her!

Qin Xianglong sat in the chair, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.

"Davila, you bitch, do you have a death wish?" "Since you want to play this game with me, then I'll play along and show you who the true ruler of Jinling is!"

Qin Xianglong and his group were waiting for David to pull the car and prepare to go home when they were suddenly surrounded.

They surged out from all directions, their footsteps chaotic yet carrying a chilling aura.

Qin Xianglong stood at the very front, his eyes revealing a fierce and resolute look.

Davira found it strange, pushed her bag aside, crossed her arms, and quietly watched them.

"What are you all trying to do? Why are you suddenly surrounding me? Are you planning something bad?"

Qin Xianglong sneered, "Since you understand, then you'd better surrender obediently, otherwise, I'll make you regret it right now!"

"And that kid named Gao Jie is one of my men. You'd better give him back to me, otherwise, if I turn on you, things will get complicated. You know I've never had a good temper!"

Before she could finish speaking, Davira was too lazy to waste any more words with him. She simply raised her right hand slightly, palm up, and then gently swirled it. An invisible stream of energy quickly condensed in her palm, forming a small vortex.

This is the basic method of "qi vortex gathering", which uses rapidly rotating airflow to continuously absorb and gather the surrounding spiritual energy.

Immediately afterwards, she pushed forward sharply, and the vortex instantly transformed into a sharp wind blade. This move was called "Wind Sweeps Away the Clouds," and it whistled as it flew towards the two subordinates beside Qin Xianglong.

The instant the wind blade flew out, she secretly used the "Sharp Force Enhancement" technique, making the edge of the wind blade as sharp as an unparalleled blade.

Wherever the wind blades passed, the air was cut and emitted a sharp hiss, as if a hole had been torn open in space.

Before the two henchmen could react, the wind blades had already sliced ​​through their throats, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they clutched their necks and slowly collapsed.

Davidra walked slowly and steadily toward Qin Xianglong, her face expressionless. Each step she took felt like it was treading on Qin Xianglong's heart, causing his heart to race.

Seeing this, Qin Xianglong couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"Hey, let's talk this out, okay? Don't hit me, okay?"

"Let's talk this out. If you're going to take my life, you've gone too far!"

Qin Xianglong's voice trembled slightly; his former arrogance had vanished, replaced by deep fear and unease.

Before he could finish speaking, Devilla struck and killed the man.

Unexpectedly, the Qin family, who had been a source of trouble for so long, withdrew from the stage just like that.

Davidra stretched his shoulders.

"Dare to disturb my students' class? I'll take your life and show you who the true king of this world is!"

"Look at the state you're in, what kind of person are you? It's absolutely disgusting."

After saying that, Davidra brushed off his belongings and calmly drove home.

And so, time flew by, and three or four months passed in a row.

In these seemingly long but actually short months, Gao Jie and his classmates' lives were completely changed. Every day, Principal Davida forced them to devote themselves fully to their studies. The tight pace and high-intensity requirements made them suffer, but they were also confused and couldn't figure out where they had offended this decisive woman.

The one who felt the most tormented was Huang Xu.

He was never cut out for studying. He had focused all his energy on chasing girls in school, and his academic performance was a complete mess. Now, however, he had become the focus of Davidra's attention, and his life was miserable.

On this day, Huang Xu was frowning as he faced his homework, his pen moving listlessly across the paper.

As he wrote, a wave of frustration and helplessness surged within him. He suddenly threw the pen away, and it bounced on the table before rolling to the ground.

He sighed heavily, slumping back in his chair like a deflated balloon, staring blankly at the ceiling, muttering resentfully, "Why did I ever think of coming here to study? If I hadn't come, would I be suffering like this now? My life is so miserable, what should I do?"

Hearing his string of complaints, Gao Jie shook his head helplessly, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"I advise you to stop wasting your breath and get on with what you need to do. You know Principal David's temper; if you keep rambling on, I think it won't be long before she comes looking for trouble again."

But who could have imagined that no sooner had Gao Jie finished speaking than David appeared silently at the door like a ghost.

In that instant, the air seemed to freeze. Huang Xu felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight up to his heart, which frightened him so much that his face turned pale.

He hurriedly picked up the pen from the ground, sat up straight as fast as he could, and frantically started writing his homework, as if he were racing against time, afraid that he would be severely reprimanded by Davidra at any moment.

David entered the classroom, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Gao Jie. His eyes held a mixture of scrutiny and expectation as he slowly began to speak:

"Just because you're number one in the whole school, you think you're so arrogant? Let me tell you, in a couple of days it'll be our competition with other universities, so you'd better behave yourself!"

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority that sent a chill down Gao Jie's spine. He knew a new challenge was about to begin.
