Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Elder Lord Qi Yang
With one punch, he annihilated the Crimson Blood Serpent King, and with it, a great number of the snake horde as well, leaving the students and faculty stunned as they gazed upon the hundreds of meters long trench and the haphazardly toppled trees at its end.
Such a scene was one they had only seen in movies, and it shocked them to their core.
Su Yie took a deep breath as the muscle lines of his upper body were immaculately defined, reflecting a metallic sheen under the sunlight that allowed one to perceive his explosive strength with the naked eye.
Bare-chested, he caused Nan Xiaopao to become dazzled, and only after jolting awake did she bounce up, cheering on the spot.
"Yay— Little Fool is so amazing!"
Her voice broke the silence and led to an eruption of excitement in the plaza.
Thousands of faculty and students cheered and shouted, some even weeping with joy.
"We are saved!"
"It's him! The student who wielded a sword to slay snakes yesterday!"
"So strong! My God! Is he a deity?"
"Our school actually has such a fierce person! Damn!"
"I think I've seen that student before; I had no idea he was so powerful!"
With the death of the Crimson Blood Serpent King, the remaining snakes scattered, sending the students into an excited frenzy, with the girls breaking into loud sobs.
The terror of the night was finally released!
Li Fei and Su Yie's classmates were all dumbfounded, contrasting sharply with the jubilant scenes of the other students.
They all knew Su Yie, an ordinary poor boy. How could he possibly possess such divine power?
"How can this be..."
Li Fei slapped himself and swallowed hard, disbelieving the magnificent scene before him.
Su Yie shook his right fist, feeling exhilarated.
If the Strength of Eleven Dragons was this terrifying, wouldn't the Strength of a Hundred Dragons be capable of splitting the sea and shattering mountains?
Nan Xiaopao threw her arms around Su Yie, jumping up and down excitedly, but alas, how could her little strength move him?
"Congratulations, you've got the cutest wife in the whole world!"
Nan Xiaopao said playfully, causing Su Yie to pinch her cheeks involuntarily.
In the modern city, he might not dare to express his feelings, but in the Ancient Wilderness, money was no longer the measure of all things, and naturally, he wouldn't suppress what was in his heart any longer.
Stroking Nan Xiaopao's hair, he smiled and said, "Then should I congratulate you on getting the best man in the whole world?"
The two exchanged smiles, and although the sweetness didn't last long before they began to bicker and tease each other, the moment was precious.
At that moment, the elderly principal walked over with the teachers, all wearing excited expressions, as if they had found a life-saving straw.
"Student, what is your name? We owe you a great debt; otherwise, we would have been in real trouble."
The principal, named Meng Jiebang, nearly seventy years old, had served at White Bridge University for almost two decades, was respected and held in high esteem.
Although White Bridge University had teachers with low ethical standards like Li Fei, most of the faculty were exceptional, and the university was a leading institution in the city, with Meng Jiebang having served as a professor in internationally renowned schools.
Ordinarily, Su Yie wouldn't have the chance to interact with Meng Jiebang.
But his nature was to be reticent, only more talkative around Nan Xiaopao, so in the face of Meng Jiebang's gratitude, he merely nodded.
"His name is Su Yie, no need to thank him!"
Nan Xiaopao answered for Su Yie, her vivaciousness making some female teachers smile knowingly.
A director spoke up, "Student Su Yie's strength is immense, he's our school's pride, but the danger is not yet over. We must unite all faculty and students, and we hope Su Yie can help."
He was very direct, first flattering Su Yie with high praise, which would surely have any ordinary student readily agreeing, but Su Yie was unmoved.
He had his goals and didn't want to be free labor.
White Bridge University hadn't offered him much warmth, and by acting before the Crimson Blood Serpent King could consume anyone, he could be said to have saved everyone's lives.
People must always rely on themselves to survive!
With that thought, Su Yie turned and walked towards the shattered ground and trench ahead, where snake meat and blood lay scattered everywhere.
The Crimson Blood Serpent King had transformed, which surely meant a Demon Core was present!
The Demon Core could help him become stronger, and he didn't want to miss out.
His actions made the previous director suddenly feel embarrassed, and the other teachers exchanged looks, unsure of what to say.
"With so many of you, you can first unite and find some weapons, letting the boys form teams to begin training in preparation for the next attack..."
At this moment, Nan Xiaopao suddenly started speaking, going on without end.
She deliberately didn't mention Su Yie, clearly wanting them to rely on themselves.
Before coming to the Ancient Wilderness, she had quite liked Su Yie and naturally didn't want to see him being exploited by others.
The teachers frowned, for Su Yie's strength was so great that he alone was more than ten times the strength of their thousands of people, and they didn't want to give that up.
Meng Jiebang didn't speak, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Aren't you going to ask students to help? These snakes' skins are tough and can be made into armor, and their teeth can be turned into weapons."
At this, Su Yie's voice floated over, having picked up the Crimson Blood Serpent King's Demon Core that was as big as a ping pong ball, bright red throughout; he stealthily placed it into the Repository of the Dao then gestured for Nan Xiaopao to follow him.
Meanwhile, thousands of students had also gathered around, wanting to connect with Su Yie, but unfortunately, he ignored them and immediately left with Nan Xiaopao.
"Su Yie..."
Li Fei gestured to Su Yie, his face revealing a smile like blooming chrysanthemums, but Su Yie did not even glance at him.
Faced with the somewhat distant Su Yie, the teachers' expressions were somewhat ugly, but Su Yie was too strong, and they didn't dare express their feelings openly.
"Let's do as Su Yie said, we have to rely on ourselves, the Ancient Wilderness's monsters are definitely not limited to the previous Crimson Blood Serpent King..."
Meng Jiebang sighed, admitting they indeed had no obligation to have Su Yie protect them.
Watching Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao depart, the thousands of students instantly became anxious, worrying about what they would do when the next danger came without Su Yie.
There were also some astute students who were curious as to why Su Yie was so strong?
The Xuanyuan Human Emperor had sent them to the Ancient Wilderness, claiming that they were there to save the Human Clan, which naturally wouldn't mean sending them to certain death; there must be opportunities waiting for them!
...
While thousands of teachers and students were busy collecting snake skins and teeth, Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao returned to his dormitory.
After changing into a new shirt, Su Yie put all his clothes into the Repository of the Dao, then followed Nan Xiaopao back to her dorm.
"Tidy up well, we may have to leave at any moment," Su Yie said as he locked the door behind them.
Nan Xiaopao nodded and began to rummage through her things.
Su Yie sat on another bed and took out his mobile phone, which no longer displayed the battery power, unknowing of when it would run out.
When he turned on the phone, the screen showed not Emperor Su's Sect's chat screen but a message and a list of names.
Please invite any of the following entities to join Emperor Su's Sect!
Li Huahun!
Elder Lord Qi Yang!
Swordmaster of the Horizon!
Xiong Batian!
King of the Wild Hounds!
...
Twenty-five names in total, dazzling Su Yie.
Another chance to invite new members?
He was curious where these names came from, the Ancient Wilderness perhaps?
The Crimson Blood Serpent King had mentioned that this place was the Land of Qiling, ruled by a mysterious entity called Lord above it.
Could this be Elder Lord Qi Yang?
A thought passed through Su Yie's mind, and he immediately clicked on Elder Lord Qi Yang's name.
If Elder Lord Qi Yang truly was the leader of the Crimson Blood Serpent King, then he could eliminate him within Emperor Su's Sect.
