The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Van Delian gritted his teeth, his pride as an Aslan humiliated by this insult, and an uncontrollable rage surged to his head.

But at this moment, apart from cursing his own incompetence, he could do nothing.

The unknown man before him was far stronger than any opponent he had ever encountered before.

A grandmaster, two masters, and three of them working together couldn't even touch the hem of this guy's clothes.

Even though they tried their best, they were as weak as children in the eyes of their opponent. If it weren't for the fact that their opponent seemed to be playing with them, Van Delian would have been beheaded by now.

"Have you rested enough?"

The curly-haired man's lazy accent was full of disdain as he flicked the magic gem in his hand like a marble at Vanderrian's face. "Don't tell me that's all you've got, you bastard."

"what!!!"

Unable to bear the insult any longer, Van Delian mustered all his strength, drew his longsword, and charged at his opponent.

Faced with the downward slash of the sword, the man made no move to dodge, and his half-closed eyes showed no interest in even focusing on it.

But just as the sword's fierce light was about to reach the man's nose, it seemed to sink into an invisible quagmire, slowing down more and more until it suddenly stopped at the last inch.

Damn it, why can't I hit him?!

Van Delian roared in utter helplessness, unable to comprehend what he was seeing. His face flushed red, and despite his best efforts, he couldn't budge the sword an inch.

With this thought in mind, he roared, unleashing his last bit of magic power. Dark green whirlwinds surged from his arms, wrapping around the cold blade.

The gale, seemingly capable of shattering everything, emitted a sharp, explosive sound, yet even so, the sword tip, bound by immense magical power, could not be swung down even slightly.

The last inch between the sword's edge and the tip of the opponent's nose was like a barrier he could never overcome.

"Ugh……"

Seeing that Van Derian's best efforts had yielded only this much effect, the curly-haired man sighed in disappointment.

"This kind of thing doesn't even deserve to be called magic?"

"clang"

With a soft sound, the man casually flicked one of his hands onto Van Derrian's sword, which was wrapped in wind element.

A powerful storm emanated from his fingertips, and the longsword forged from Aslan steel shattered with a deafening roar.

The escaping wind pressure swept over Van Derrian's body, slamming him against the wall behind him like a speck of dust, causing the solid stone wall to collapse.

Van Delian lay helplessly on the pile of rubble, the hilt of his sword falling from his hand. Then a warm sensation rose in his throat, and he choked on it.

That was blood overflowing from his internal injuries. His mind was already starting to feel dizzy. Staring at the flickering candlelight on the ceiling, he couldn't understand why the person in front of him was still sparing his life.

"So boring, so boring."

The curly-haired man kicked a small pebble away, looking completely relaxed. "That Elias guy actually dared to lie to me. I should have gone to the front lines. At least I'd have a sword saint to play with."

"What on earth is that guy doing? If he's not coming soon, we might as well just kill one of them..."

"Here it comes, here it comes, don't rush, it's here now."

Another abrupt voice rang out, this time a lively female voice with a touch of playfulness.

Another short girl dressed in a dark black robe emerged like a ghost from the surrounding black mist.

Although she wasn't wearing the Full Moon Cult robes this time, if Ye Xiao were present, he would definitely recognize her as the girl he had met once before in Thunder City of the Southern Continent.

"These are the three from Aslan. You can choose one yourself."

The curly-haired man had no intention of greeting the girl; after saying his piece, he crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.

"let me see……"

The girl ran around the hall, grabbed the hair of the professors lying on the floor, looked them over, and exclaimed, "Wait, why are they all men?!"

"What's the point of asking me? I can't change their gender."

The curly-haired man sighed. "Besides, gender doesn't really matter, does it? Are you sure this is really Adam's plan? Something feels off."

"of course it's true!"

The girl gave a perfunctory answer, but finally stopped in front of the unconscious Van Delian. After squatting down to examine him for a moment, she said, seemingly reluctantly, "Fine, this one will do. He looks more handsome."

"Isn't it great to have a handsome guy around? Do you actually like women?"

The curly-haired man curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"of course not!"

The girl placed her hand on Vanderlei's forehead and pressed it down. A ring on her little finger then emitted a faint, shimmering silver light. "There's only one person I consider the most handsome, and..."

As she spoke, the girl's figure slowly changed, becoming taller and her cute baby face gradually lengthened and became more handsome.

Her voice also became a magnetic male voice, exactly like the fallen Vanderrian, "...and it's me who has become like this, tsk, this feeling is too weird."

The curly-haired man couldn't help but smile.

"Is it that funny?"

The fake "Vandrian" glared at the curly-haired man, touched the back of his hand, and used magic to hide the ring on his little finger. "Hurry up and clean up the scene, then go and reunite with your people."

"Ugh, men don't glare at people like that, it's disgusting, you really need to change that."

The curly-haired man rubbed his hair. "By the way, I heard that someone from your company fought against a miracle worker before. Do you know where that person is?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, "Van Derian" suddenly retorted angrily, "Hey, this has nothing to do with our cooperation, so don't you dare try anything with him!"

"Why are you so excited? I was just asking. It's a family tradition, after all..."

The curly-haired man seemed surprised, then raised an eyebrow as if realizing something. "Uh, wait a minute, you wouldn't happen to be......"

"Nothing to do with you!"

As "Vandrian" spoke, he tossed out another silver sewing needle. This needle seemed to have a life of its own, dancing in mid-air and slowly weaving the same clothes that Vandrien was wearing on the ground. "I don't know where he is now, but he's definitely not in Aslan!"

Chapter Fifty-Nine: An Unplanned Encounter

Back to the present.

After calming the male students down, Ye Xiao jumped off the windowsill and instantly crossed the spatial portal to the rooftop of the main castle tower.

With no one watching, his mobility was at its maximum. As soon as he stepped off the rooftop, he immediately went down to the next floor to search for Van Derrian and the others, following the location Robert had previously indicated.

As he walked into the corridor, the gap in the wall of the council hall immediately caught his attention, but when he went in, he saw only a scene of devastation and the corpses of soldiers.

He glanced around briefly; it seemed a battle had broken out here earlier.

Judging from the sword-shaped grooves on the ground and the walls bearing traces of elemental damage, these were at least not the battle marks of ordinary Aslan soldiers.

But neither Van Derrian, nor Sivirif, nor Professor Rhodes were present.

Strange, where could those three have gone after fighting here?

Just as he was puzzled, Ye Xiao suddenly noticed the crows that were spying on the female students' room and suddenly heard shouts coming from outside the blocked door.

"Are you all inside, students? I'm Professor Van Derrian!"

Huh? It ran downstairs??

Ye Xiao was somewhat taken aback. He had gone through the spatial portal, which was equivalent to flying directly to the top of the tower. If the other party had gone down the stairs inside the tower, the two could indeed have missed each other.

But something is wrong. Shouldn't Van Derrian and the others have been ambushed like him? How did they manage to escape unscathed?

Whether it's the Dark Shepherds or the company, if they were targeted without any warning, even Ella might have failed. How did these three manage to survive?

Regardless of whether the professor outside the door was real or fake, Ye Xiao had no choice but to rush over and find out.

"Students, quickly lower this stone wall! Time is of the essence; there are monsters outside. Your teacher has to lead you to safety!"

"Professor Brandon said that no one, not even himself, can drive it!"

Unexpectedly, Femishire adhered to Ye Xiao's warning and resolutely ordered the trainees to block the entrance firmly.

“Brandon…”

Upon hearing this, "Vandrian" on the stone wall immediately looked distraught.

What the hell? Didn't the Dark Shepherd say he had already dealt with that professor from Tedhurst? He's still alive and well, and even arrived before him.

And isn't that guy a professor from out of town? Why are these aristocratic female students so obedient to him?

"Don't believe that outsider! He ran away on his own, leaving you all to take the fall for him!"

Van Delian reluctantly tried to provoke them, fearing that smashing the stone wall directly would arouse suspicion from the students inside.

"You are not allowed to slander Professor Brandon!!!"

Unexpectedly, the princess inside immediately retorted angrily.

"That one outside the door is definitely fake!!! Everyone, guard the door!!!"

Why is that?

"Vandrian" carried the still unconscious Severif and Professor Rhodes, looking completely bewildered. She had deliberately chosen to replace Professor Aslan's identity because it would be easier to gain the trust of the Aslan noble students.

But she didn't know if the group inside had been brainwashed or what. If she had known they were this strange, she would have preferred to take on that weird "Professor Brandon" identity instead.

“I said… Professor Van Derrian, even I wouldn’t abandon my students and run away.”

Just then, a strangely familiar voice came from the side.

Van Delian turned his head in surprise and was startled to see Ye Xiao's face standing to the side. His eyes widened in shock.

"What, are you surprised to see me?"

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow. What did Van Derrian mean by looking at him like he'd seen a ghost? If it weren't for the fact that the other man was carrying the unconscious Rhodes and Sivirif on his back, he probably would have already started a fight.

Of course, it was also because the other party had insulted them as outsiders. Although the words were unpleasant, they were indeed very much in line with the mentality of the Aslan nobles.

"No...you, cough, Professor Brandon? I'm glad you're alright. Could you please call the students for me? They're not listening to me."

Van Delian blushed and stammered, his heart filled with shock—wait, this person looks so much like Ye Xiao!

Wait, this guy should be Ye Xiao, right? But why is Ye Xiao here? How did he become a professor?

Despite his mind being in a complete mess due to the sudden encounter, Van Derrian tried his best to suppress his expression. Good heavens, he really didn't expect to run into Ye Xiao here.

Of course, the other party might not be Ye Xiao, after all, there are still some differences in appearance, and these are the kind of differences in bone structure and eyebrows that cannot be changed by non-system disguise props.

But this is too unbelievable! The resemblance to this guy, from his demeanor to his appearance, is seven or even eight parts similar – it's almost too much of a coincidence!

"Classmates, drive with confidence, I'm back."

Ye Xiao finally shouted towards the back of the stone wall.

The crow saw that the merfolk army surging from the sea was almost at the foot of Morningwind Keep. Time was of the essence, and now was not the time to dwell on Vanderrian.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's voice, Femishire breathed a sigh of relief and allowed everyone to dispel the spell and remove the stone wall blocking the entrance.

The sight of Vanderrian and Rhodes covered in blood startled them.

Ye Xiao summoned two earth elementals to carry the frozen, injured students on his shoulders. He immediately called everyone to go downstairs, and then rushed to the male students' quarters on the other side of the castle to pick up Robert and the others.

The three teams of the field trial finally "reunited" in the chaotic castle hall. Under Ye Xiao's command, several combat trainees worked with him to clear out the demonized soldiers along the way and fought their way out of the city gate.

With Ye Xiao by her side, Princess Femisil and the other students gradually overcame their fear, and each of them, with their exceptional talents, unleashed their swordsmanship and magic. Ye Xiao no longer had to face the enemy alone.

It is worth mentioning that, under Ye Xiao's guidance, this group of students gradually mastered the Lava Shot, a spell specifically designed to target the tough and resilient demonized soldiers. The principle behind this spell is actually not complicated. Once the high-level mages figured out the routine, they could easily teach it to the low-level mages.

Even the swordsmanship specialist Femishil learned it. The Aslan people's affinity for magic allows them to master magic while focusing on swordsmanship, so most Aslan swordsmen are magic swordsmen.

Such powerful spells at close range are actually more suitable for swordsmen who are used to close combat, and most importantly, they are very addictive to use.

This made Ye Xiao consider whether he could also teach these students another combination spell developed by the players, "Lava Sniper." As the name suggests, the spell reduces the number of rock cones to a single one and increases wind pressure to achieve a stable rifling effect, allowing it to accurately penetrate targets hundreds of meters away like a sniper rifle.

However, considering that these trainees all wanted to join the Ocean Legion in the future, and that his own photo was being used as a target on someone else's training dummy, Ye Xiao didn't want to be suddenly hit in the head by such a spell while walking down the street in the future, so he gave up in the end.

Perhaps it was because everyone evacuated quickly that, after a night of running, by the time dawn broke the next day, the crows lagging behind could no longer see the merman army.

Chapter Sixty: The Two Groups Meet

After a night of trekking, not to mention carrying many wounded, the group was quite exhausted when they arrived at noon.

Fortunately, they were not pursued by the merman army that landed during their escape to the north. Along the way, Ye Xiao and his three groups of students encountered a squad of Sky Knights who came to support them from the Blue Stone Fortress.

The group then headed northwest to rendezvous with other field cadet groups led by Princess Serendra.

Aside from a few monsters encountered along the way, the process was not fraught with major setbacks.
