129: Chapter 129 Hua Gang Became King, and the Ghost Emperor Came to Demand Punishment

Chu Youwei and Saintess Lin Xinglan were at it again.

One clutched the Black Register in her hand.

The other pressed her fingertips against the hilt of her Holy Light sword.

There was even a strange, eerie illusion in the air.

It was as if in the next second, this ordinary high school classroom would be forced to upgrade into a temporary sub-venue for a King-level battlefield.

Li Hao looked at them and whispered to Gu Lang: "Do you think if they really start fighting, we'll count as the first batch of spectators to witness a King-level expert make a move?"

Gu Lang stared at the desk: "We'd count as the first batch of corpses."

Li Hao sat up straight immediately.

He even placed his hands neatly on the desk.

He was terrified that if his posture was improper, he would be accidentally wiped out by the aftermath of the two big shots clashing.

The Homeroom Teacher stood by the podium, still holding a piece of chalk.

She really wanted to say: "Students, be quiet."

But she looked at the looming black throne behind Chu Youwei, then at the Holy Light sword hilt under Saintess Lin Xinglan's fingertips, and ultimately kept her mouth shut very sensibly.

A teacher's professional dignity was important.

But life safety was more important.

Chu Youwei looked at Saintess Lin Xinglan.

Her black uniform had not fully retracted; fine black letters were slowly swimming around her cuffs, collar, and hem.

Those letters were no longer as wildly out of control as they had been when she first ascended to the throne, but were instead arranged quietly and dangerously, like a group of tamed students.

"You just said the Saintess Domain also has clothes like that."

Saintess Lin Xinglan nodded calmly.

"We do."

Chu Youwei pressed: "Then why don't you wear them?"

Saintess Lin Xinglan glanced at Su Yun.

That glance was quick.

Too quick for an ordinary person to catch.

But Chu Youwei caught it.

Gu Lang caught it too.

Even Li Hao caught it.

Because the entire class had now been trained by this bizarre Shurafield to have observation skills that surpassed ordinary people.

Saintess Lin Xinglan withdrew her gaze, her tone remaining dignified and cold.

"Because I didn't come here to pose and preen."

Everyone: "..."

Chu Youwei was instantly infuriated.

The Black Register in her palm flipped open with a "whoosh."

The aura of rules in the air suddenly intensified.

The Holy Light sword hilt at Saintess Lin Xinglan's fingertips also lit up for an instant.

Arbiter Lei Zhen and Arbiter Qin Feng stood at the door, their expressions changing simultaneously.

Arbiter Qin Feng whispered: "This is bad, the Saintess's words have too much lethality."

Arbiter Lei Zhen also lowered his voice: "It's over, a King cannot be insulted."

Arbiter Qin Feng probed: "Could it be that our Saintess Domain is going to change Saintesses? Finding someone who can inherit the power of the Divine Source isn't that simple. Why don't we just let the Saint take over?"

Arbiter Lei Zhen: "You're right, but I have faith in the Saint. He can handle this!"

Just as the two forces were about to collide.

"Stop."

The word fell.

The Black Register stopped.

The Holy Light sword hilt dimmed by half an inch.

Chu Youwei looked at him.

Saintess Lin Xinglan also looked at him.

Su Yun sat in his seat, his tone steady.

"One of you just ascended to the throne, the other is a Saintess of the Saintess Domain, and you're discussing fashion in a Senior Year classroom."

He paused.

"Do you think this is reasonable?"

Li Hao chimed in softly: "Actually, I think it's quite reasonable."

Su Yun turned his head.

"You shut up."

Li Hao shut up.

Chu Youwei lowered her head, closing the Black Register in her hand.

"I know."

Su Yun looked at her.

"Know what?"

Chu Youwei said softly: "I shouldn't be arguing about this right now."

Saintess Lin Xinglan interjected: "She finally understands."

Chu Youwei looked up at her.

"But that doesn't mean you won."

Saintess Lin Xinglan said indifferently: "I didn't say I won."

Chu Youwei: "You just acted like you won."

Saintess Lin Xinglan: "That just means you think I won in your heart."

Chu Youwei: "..."

Everyone in the classroom quietly took a breath.

So strong.

Is this how the Saintess of the Saintess Domain fights?

She can stab people without even using a sword.

Su Yun tapped the desk again.

"Still at it?"

Chu Youwei pursed her lips.

This time, she didn't retort.

She raised her hand, and the Black Register floated up.

The pages flipped open.

Densely packed names appeared on it.

Anomaly records left behind by the National Unified Examination.

Remnants of examination halls contaminated by Old Fengdu.

And the mental echoes of hundreds of millions of candidates after being forcibly dragged into the exam.

Chu Youwei looked at those names, her gaze slowly sinking.

"I'll go deal with the aftermath first."

Su Yun nodded.

"Go ahead."

Chu Youwei looked up at him.

"I'll do it well."

Su Yun hummed.

"Don't make Li Hao study math anymore."

Li Hao's eyes grew hot.

Chu Youwei glanced at Li Hao.

"Depends on his performance."

Li Hao swallowed his tears back.

The next second.

Black letters spread across the center of the classroom.

Chu Youwei turned and stepped into them.

Before leaving, she suddenly looked back.

"Brother Yun."

The whole class pricked up their ears at the same time.

Su Yun's eyelid twitched.

Chu Youwei said very seriously: "Wait until I've cleared up the rules, then I'll come back to find you."

Li Hao's mouth was already open.

Gu Lang reached out and covered his mouth in advance.

"Don't say it."

Li Hao communicated frantically with his eyes.

"I'll die if I don't say it."

Gu Lang looked back coldly.

"You'll actually die if you say it."

The black letters closed.

Chu Youwei disappeared from where she stood.

The moment she left, the residual pressure in the classroom finally dissipated slowly.

The black rules retracted.

The air began to flow again.

The sunlight from outside the window shone back in.

But no one in Senior Year Class 2 felt relieved.

Because the Saintess was still there.

And she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

The Homeroom Teacher coughed.

As an adult, she finally decided to shoulder a bit of her teaching responsibility.

"This... Saintess, would you like to sit down and listen to the lecture?"

Saintess Lin Xinglan glanced at the blackboard.

There was nothing on it, and it was clear that this teacher was just being polite.

She was silent for half a second.

"No need."

Su Yun leaned back in his chair, looking at Saintess Lin Xinglan.

"Big Sister."

Saintess Lin Xinglan's eyes flickered slightly.

Su Yun said slowly: "It seems you quite like me?"

The classroom went dead again.

Li Hao, who had just lowered his head, instantly raised it.

Holy crap.

He got cucked.

The school beauty just left and he got cucked.

And it was the Saintess of the Saintess Domain personally taking over the scene.

Wasn't this plot development a bit too exciting?

Gu Lang also stiffened.

Arbiter Lei Zhen and Arbiter Qin Feng stood at the door, both gasping.

The Saint is truly brave.

He just sent away a King-level Invigilator, and now he's flirting with the Saintess of the Saintess Domain.

This isn't a peach blossom luck.

This is hanging clothes on a high-voltage line.

Saintess Lin Xinglan looked at Su Yun.

A look of slight panic appeared on her Face.

"Don't be narcissistic."

Su Yun raised an eyebrow.

Saintess Lin Xinglan continued: "I just can't stand people who rely on their strength to act recklessly."

Su Yun nodded.

"I see."

Li Hao whispered: "Got it, it's not love, it's justice."

Gu Lang whispered: "Say one more word, and justice will fall on your head."

Li Hao shut up.

Saintess Lin Xinglan walked to Su Yun's desk and looked at him.

"How is it?"

Su Yun: "How is what?"

Saintess Lin Xinglan pointed to the spot where Chu Youwei had disappeared.

"Watching your own classmate become a King directly, how do you feel?"

Su Yun thought for a moment.

"What, do you want me to write a foreign language essay about this feeling?"

Saintess Lin Xinglan: "???"

Li Hao instantly covered his mouth.

He was afraid he would laugh out loud and be sanctioned by both the Saintess Domain and the exam venue.

Saintess Lin Xinglan paused for two seconds.

"I'm just asking how you feel."

Su Yun said seriously: "The feeling is, I hope we don't have to take foreign language exams anymore."

Saintess Lin Xinglan: "..."

Gu Lang lowered his head to write his report.

He had already decided.

Su Yun's hatred for foreign languages must be listed as the number one priority for taboo triggers.

Li Hao couldn't help but raise his hand.

"Excuse me, Saintess."

Saintess Lin Xinglan looked at him.

Li Hao swallowed his saliva.

"Has the school beauty really become the first King-level Psionic User in Great Xia?"

Saintess Lin Xinglan said calmly: "Psionic User?"

She shook her head.

"She is just a Strange Tale."

Su Yun: "..."

That statement was indeed correct.

Chu Youwei now carried the rules of the Foreign Language Tribunal; strictly speaking, it was no longer a normal Awakening system.

But why did it sound so sour?

Saintess Lin Xinglan looked at Su Yun.

"Do you have an opinion?"

Su Yun shook his head.

"No."

Saintess Lin Xinglan said indifferently: "I'm just stating a fact."

Su Yun thought to himself.

A fact is a fact.

But in this fact of yours, your petty jealousy might be as small as a pinhole.

Li Hao whispered again: "Strange Tales are pretty good too, at least they make people study."

Gu Lang said: "Didn't you just cry?"

Li Hao said: "Crying is one thing, but getting all the function questions right is real."

Gu Lang: "You really are suited to being ruled."

Li Hao said seriously: "If it can help me improve my college entrance exam score, I can consider it."

The Homeroom Teacher heard this and her eyes lit up.

Su Yun spoke immediately: "Teacher, you are not allowed to consider it."

The Homeroom Teacher pushed up her glasses.

"I just think educational reform needs imagination."

"Actually, if the rules can stably control the learning state, it might not be impossible to use as an auxiliary teaching method."

Su Yun looked at her.

"Teacher, please calm down."

The Homeroom Teacher pushed up her glasses.

"Student Su Yun, you don't understand."

"I've been leading graduating classes for over a decade."

"Any power that can make the whole class take the initiative to study for thirty minutes, whether it comes from the Saintess Domain, the Investigation Bureau, or Strange Tales, I am willing to write a pilot program for it first."

Li Hao looked at her in shock.

"Teacher, you are compromising with the abyss!"

Saintess Lin Xinglan watched this scene, her eyes softening a bit.

This classroom was absurd.

So absurd that they had just experienced the descent of King-level rules, the National Unified Examination, and the power grab of Old Fengdu, and yet now everyone could still discuss whether "forced learning is suitable for educational reform."

But precisely because of that, it seemed very vivid.

Like a place in the human world that hadn't been completely distorted by the disaster.

Saintess Lin Xinglan's gaze fell on Su Yun.

Some people stand there, and without needing to do anything, they make chaotic things find an anchor again.

...

Outside the Linhai port.

A Great Britain royal ship was anchored on the sea after the rain.

Bai Cang stood at the edge of the deck.

His newly grown right hand rested on the railing, with illusory sea currents slowly rotating in his palm.

Queen Elizabeth sat not far away.

Su Jianguo leaned against the railing, his Face not looking very good.

It wasn't that his injuries hadn't healed.

It was mental exhaustion.

Bai Cang looked in the direction of Linhai No. 2 High School and laughed softly.

"Truly beautiful."

The Queen raised her eyes.

"Are you talking about that new King?"

Bai Cang shook his head.

"I'm talking about The Rancher."

"The Rancher let a high school girl ascend to the throne."

"He even stepped on the Face of Old Fengdu to hand the throne to her."

"This kind of method is indeed beautiful."

Su Jianguo frowned.

"Big Brother, what are you getting excited about?"

Bai Cang looked at him.

That pair of eyes carried an irrepressible fanaticism.

"Little brother, don't you see it yet?"

"Humanity has a King."

Su Jianguo frowned and said: "Big Brother, don't make it sound so nice."

"That girl was pushed up by The Rancher."

"No one knows if this path can be replicated."

Bai Cang smiled.

"The first path is always like this."

"No one knows if it can be walked through."

"But as long as someone walks across, the people behind will start to believe that it's not a cliff over there."

Su Jianguo looked at him.

"Can you stop sounding like a pyramid scheme?"

Bai Cang: "..."

The Queen picked up her teacup and calmly dealt the finishing blow.

"He has always been like this."

Su Jianguo was stunned.

"Sister-in-law, were you also fooled by him before?"

The teacup in Queen Elizabeth's hand paused.

The smile on Bai Cang's Face froze.

The air on the deck suddenly became very quiet.

Su Jianguo realized belatedly that he had said the wrong thing.

He coughed.

"I meant, fooled on a diplomatic level."

The Queen looked at him indifferently.

"Mr. Night Owl, you are very good at explaining."

Su Jianguo's scalp went numb.

Bai Cang didn't care, however, and raised his right hand.

"She has human memories, human emotions, and a human stance."

"Even if she carries the rules of a Strange Tale, she isn't something like Old Fengdu."

"This means that the King-level is not the exclusive patent of monsters."

Bai Cang's voice lowered bit by bit.

"As long as the path can be walked, humanity no longer has to just wait for death."

The Queen put down her teacup.

"You're thinking too early."

Bai Cang looked at her.

The Queen said calmly: "The Rancher almost stepped on Dahuang Prefecture this time to let that girl ascend the throne."

"The Ghost Emperor will not let it go."

"The Ten Kings of Yama lost their authority, and Old Fengdu lost Face and also some authority."

"For King-level existences, Face itself is part of the majesty of the rules."

Su Jianguo nodded.

"You're right."

He looked at Linhai City.

"There are gaps between S-levels."

"The gaps between King-levels will only be greater."

"A little girl who just became a King certainly isn't the opponent of an old-school King-level."

"In the end, Linhai will be the one that suffers."

Bai Cang laughed.

"Little brother, are you afraid?"

Su Jianguo glanced at him.

"Of course I'm afraid!"

The Queen looked at him.

"Will you make a move?"

Su Jianguo was silent for half a second.

Scenes of Chu Youwei at his house flashed through his mind.

Finally, it stopped on Su Yun's punchable Face.

This little kid likes my son.

That's enough.

If Old Fengdu really dares to come and snatch people.

Isn't that bullying right up to the Su family's dinner table?

Su Jianguo let out a breath.

"If she stands on Great Xia's side, I cannot watch her die."

Just at this moment.

The sea surface suddenly darkened for an instant.

It wasn't dark clouds blocking the sun.

It was that the reflection of the entire sea area seemed to be covered with a layer of gray by some kind of cold power.

The smile on Bai Cang's Face slowly faded.

Su Jianguo also straightened up.

Queen Elizabeth looked into the distance.

In the direction of Linhai City, even though the sun was shining brightly, a line of extremely faint black text appeared beneath the sea surface.

That was not Great Xia text.

Nor was it Saintess Domain inscription.

But an Underworld Judgment.

[Old Fengdu, holding Great Xia accountable.]

[Target of accountability: The highest Invigilator of the Foreign Language Tribunal.]

[Charge: Usurping the throne, insulting the Underworld, swallowing the authority of Old Fengdu.]

Su Jianguo narrowed his eyes.

"They came really fast."

The illusory sea currents in Bai Cang's palm began to rotate.

"The Ghost Emperor lost Face, of course he can't sit still."

The Queen said calmly: "It seems that the first real test for that new King is coming."

Su Jianguo didn't speak.

He just looked up in the direction of Linhai No. 2 High School.

A moment later, he cursed in a low voice.

"Stinky brat."

"You created this peach blossom debt, and now your old man has to risk his life for you!"
