206: One move!

When they heard the voice, everyone was stunned.

Among them, Xiao Yan was even a little dazed.

What was originally a subconscious cry of despair, he never expected that Lin Xiu would actually respond.

For some reason, hearing Lin Xiu's words, his heart actually felt a little calmer.

Was it the Fire Energy Hunting Competition where he suppressed the new students alone, or his easy defeat of the Snow Demon Sky Ape, or his intervention at the bottom of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower when he was surrounded by the Fallen Heart Flame and in mortal danger?

Just hearing Lin Xiu agree, Xiao Yan inexplicably felt that there was still hope for today's events.

"You finally decided to come out? But, is it really not too late for you to come now?"

Xiao Li's expression was slightly solemn, somewhat complex.

When they had the advantage, he didn't want Lin Xiu to appear, because the Xiao Family could seize the Yunlan Sect's foundation.

But when they fell into a disadvantage, he wished Lin Xiu would appear to help resolve the crisis.

Now that Lin Xiu had really appeared, he was once again filled with doubt.

After all, Protector Wu's current strength was far from comparable to Pharmacist Emperor Han Feng, who was a half-step Dou Zong; he was even stronger than Yun Shan.

Protector Wu was so strong that even Venerable Yao, who was once a Dou Zun, couldn't deal with him even using an exotic flame.

And Lin Xiu had only just advanced to Dou Huang over a year ago. In just a year, could he contend with Protector Wu?

Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and others had a blank look on their Faces.

Lin Xiu? Was this the Elder Lin they were referring to on the mountain, the one they had to wait for?

Didn't they say this person was just a Dou Huang?

If so, where did he get the confidence, why was he so sure, to dare to say that he would take on Protector Wu?

Everyone is a Dou Huang, are you perhaps exceptionally outstanding?

Tie Wu, Su Mei, and Lin Xiuya, Yan Hao, and others.

Even those who had unwavering faith in Lin Xiu's strength couldn't help but show a hint of doubt on their Faces at this moment.

It wasn't that they thought Lin Xiu was too weak.

It was that the strength Protector Wu displayed before them was truly too powerful.

So powerful that he was the strongest person they had ever seen in their lives.

Even Elder Su Qian of the Academy seemed somewhat unable to withstand a few blows against the current Protector Wu.

"Who's playing tricks? If you have the guts, then get out here!"

The echoing voice in his ears, Protector Wu found it somewhat unpleasant and grating.

And the name "Lin Xiu" sounded somewhat familiar to him, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"Noisy!"

Suddenly, a cold shout rang out.

Protector Wu was startled.

Because this voice was actually in his ear, he found it extremely incredible.

Before he could react, his back suddenly sank, and then a terrifying force, as if a great mountain had fallen, erupted violently.

Boom!

Everyone saw a black shadow streak across the sky, directly crashing into the ground, creating a large pit in the square paved with bluestone.

Rolling dust and smoke rose.

"Hiss..."

A chorus of gasps echoed across the land.

Astonished, shocked, and incredulous gazes turned to the sky, to the spot where Protector Wu had stood earlier.

There stood a young man, his expression calm, with a pair of azure wings with silver glints flapping behind him.

In his palm, he held the black mist in which Protector Wu had imprisoned Yao Chen.

"Senior!"

Seeing the other person's Face clearly, Xiao Yan's Face lit up with joy and surprise.

It was indeed the right decision to ask Senior for help back then.

This was Senior's strength, truly terrifying; with just one move, he knocked Protector Wu down.

"He's actually that strong?"

Xiao Li felt somewhat ashamed, filled with guilt for having doubted Lin Xiu earlier.

With such strength, if this were in the Black-Corner Region, even Pharmacist Emperor Han Feng might not be able to afford the price for his intervention.

But Lin Xiu had agreed to his younger brother.

He took nothing, only asking for two promises from his younger brother.

One of them was that after Yun Shan was dealt with, everything would be at his discretion.

With Lin Xiu's strength, did he even need to use his younger brother's hand for such a condition? He could accomplish it entirely himself.

Therefore, the conditions Lin Xiu offered were actually entirely out of consideration for his younger brother, as they were both Academy students, showing care for him.

And I actually doubted Lin Xiu, damn it, Xiao Li, you really deserve to die.

After spending some time in the Black-Corner Region, do you think everyone's heart is as dark as yours?!

"Indeed, we should have waited for Elder Lin earlier."

Hai Bodong paused, speaking with a hint of shock, and slowly looked at Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma.

Both of them nodded in agreement.

With such terrifying combat power, if he had been present earlier, they wouldn't have had to struggle so much.

One move was enough to send Protector Wu, whose strength had been boosted, crashing into the ground.

Even if Yun Shan were to revive, facing this person would probably be a one-move affair.

"It's a pity, when Canaan Academy came to the Imperial Capital, we should have sent that girl Yue'er in."

First Xiao Yan, and now Lin Xiu, Jia Xingtian noticed that both of them were quite young.

Besides them, there were also students like Lin Xiuya, Yan Hao, and Lin Yan, all of whom were at the Dou Wang Realm.

For one Academy to be able to cultivate two such outstanding students, as well as a group of excellent students, was enough to show the terrifying power of Canaan Academy.

Tie Wu, Su Mei, and others were full of shock, dumbfounded, and at the same time, a trace of relief flashed in their eyes.

Worth it! This trip was too worth it!

All three knew that Lin Xiu's talent was terrifying, and that he would take over the Academy in the future was a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, they specifically came all this way, not hesitating to travel thousands of miles, out of respect for Lin Xiu.

More than a year later, they saw Lin Xiu make a move again, and his terrifying strength proved that befriending him early and getting to know him was absolutely more than worth the price.

Given Lin Xiu's speed of strength improvement, it probably wouldn't be a big problem for him to advance to Dou Zong in another two years.

At that time, who the Black-Corner Region would listen to, everything would be clear.

"This guy... when did he rush out?"

With her hands on the armrests of her chair, Medusa's eyes were filled with shock as she moved her gaze from Lin Xiu in the sky to beside her.

One second ago, Lin Xiu was still sitting here talking.

But in the blink of an eye, he had knocked Protector Wu down.

During this time, she was clearly sitting next to him, yet she didn't notice anything at all.

"Crack."

Seeing Medusa look over, Zi Yan hesitated for a moment and handed over a stack of peanuts she was holding.

Medusa paused for a second, then opened her fair palm.

She picked up a peanut, put it in her mouth, and found it crisp and refreshing, leaving a lingering fragrance.

No wonder she had been sitting there unwilling to act; she didn't expect it to be quite enjoyable.

"He's also Xiao Yan's person?"

Looking at the figure in the sky, Yun Yun's Face held some surprise.

If she remembered correctly, when she passed through the square with her veil on earlier, this person seemed to be with a small purple-haired girl, eating heartily.

"Cough, cough..."

Protector Wu walked out of the dust, his eyes filled with apprehension, sweeping over the young man.

"It really is you! I had a guess when I heard the name earlier, but I didn't expect your strength to have improved to this extent in just over a year."

His black armor was covered in dust, and there were large cracks on his back, those marks extending all the way to the front of his body.

This imposing armor, after just one blow, became scarred and battered, looking as if it could shatter at any moment.

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts were filled with turbulent waves.

One must know that their combined efforts earlier, so many people, so many attacks put together, actually couldn't compare to the injuries Lin Xiu inflicted on Protector Wu with a single move.
