Chapter 321: Locking Down the Location (3k)
“I just praised you for your courage, and now you’re shaking with fear?”
The yellow-haired student from Imperial Capital University looked at Su Jiu with a casual expression. The aura of a High-Rank Battle General leaked out freely, and layers of holy light scattered towards the audience, causing the expressions of some weaker spectators to change slightly.
He had received instructions from the Big Sister to teach this arrogant freshman a lesson. In his opinion, he wouldn’t even need one move to deal with this kind of brat. He then said to the referee with a hint of indifference, “Announce the start, I’m in a hurry.”
The referee scanned the surroundings, and finally his gaze fell on Su Jiu, who had been keeping her head down. After a moment of thought, he glanced at Lin Tingyu in the judge’s seat. Receiving her nod, he waved his hand and announced loudly, “The match begins!”
“I’m not challenging.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu kept her head down, as if making a decision. Her fists clenched, she sighed, then turned and walked towards the back, starting to call Youyou.There was no time to play house with these people. She needed to find Doubi Xi. From a game, she learned that Doubi Xi served as an honorary professor at Cambridge University. If she could investigate through Youyou, she would surely find a clue.
“Student, isn’t it a bit much to just come up and surrender? The leadership is watching.”
The referee was slightly taken aback. He scanned Su Jiu’s aura and confirmed that she had indeed reached the Battle General level. He didn’t immediately announce the end of the match. With many foreigners watching, wouldn’t an unresisted surrender make them a laughingstock?
“I’m not competing anymore. I have something to do.” Glancing at the referee, Su Jiu still didn’t turn around.
“Then the match… “
The referee looked at the retreating figure and sighed. He was from Magical Capital University and didn’t want to see a student from Magical Capital University falter at the last moment.
“Are you scared? Hahaha, you have something else to do. Just say you’re scared. Anyway, someone like you won’t be able to go to the battlefield in the future.”
Just as Su Jiu was about to step off the stage, the yellow-haired student’s eyes flashed with disdain. He had originally planned to defeat some weaklings, but now he couldn’t even do that.
“Scared? You, a student who only enjoys privileges, are telling me I’m scared?”
Hearing this, Su Jiu stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around, her gaze falling on the yellow-haired student. Her face was filled with impatience and volatility, her hair began to turn gray and white, and her aura seemed to be on the verge of erupting.
Brown flames surged from behind Su Jiu, sweeping across the air. These flameless flames rose, giving people a heart-stopping feeling, and sweat began to appear on the faces of those with weaker cultivation.
At this moment, she had lost the usual grace of a swordsman. Instead, she resembled a Shura from the other side of hell, exuding a savage aura.
Su Jiu’s aura flickered, sometimes reaching the level of a Battle General, and sometimes resembling a Battle King, filled with danger. Even Lin Tingyu couldn’t help but look sideways, raising an eyebrow and thinking, “Her aura is so familiar. Who is it from our school? I don’t remember any such person among the freshmen.”
“Putting on a show! You just…”
Staring intently at Su Jiu, the yellow-haired student’s expression changed slightly. He was about to speak harshly to bolster his courage.
“Whoosh!”
Before the yellow-haired student could finish speaking, a sonic boom of air suddenly sounded. A blurry brown silhouette, with a “chi” sound, seemed to tear through the air’s resistance.
A distance of more than ten meters was traversed in less than a second. Such terrifying speed left the yellow-haired student’s vision blurred. Immediately, a petite figure flashed before him, her pupils revealing frenzy and madness.
“You like to talk, don’t you!”
Crimson flames erupted from Su Jiu’s toes, instantly turning into an afterimage that shot out, heading straight for the yellow-haired student’s abdomen. The next moment, the sound of air exploding rang out again, like the groans of a devil from hell, terrifying.
As the kick was about to land, the yellow-haired student’s pupils contracted sharply, and his expression changed drastically. In a hurry, he quickly crossed his arms to block his abdomen, then external qi surged, trying to strengthen his energy shield.
“Boom!”
The flaming spinning kick landed heavily on the yellow-haired student’s arm. Immediately, a dull thud echoed throughout the entire arena. The yellow-haired student was sent flying in a shrimp-like shape, rushing out of the arena for twenty to thirty meters like a missile, leaving behind a trail of blood on the ground.
Finally, after he fell to the ground, the nearby priest responsible for medical assistance rushed over. The crowd watched the petite figure with various expressions. With one move, she had beaten someone qualified for the World Championship into a state of utter defeat. What kind of strength was this?!
After all, even the team leaders couldn’t do this.
Su Jiu’s almost fatal move also terrified some students. Foreign students recognized Su Jiu’s face. The freckled girl subconsciously swallowed, then looked at the shocked expressions around her. She felt a flicker of relief in her heart, glad that she hadn’t angered the person.
Hu Ling, who was familiar with Su Jiu’s methods, frowned slightly from a distance. What had happened to cause her usually calm junior schoolmate to be so angry?
“She’s hiding her strength. Is she trying to deliberately humiliate Imperial Capital University?”
Looking at the scene unfolding before him, Chen Qianyun felt as if his face had been slapped hard. His expression immediately turned ugly, and he was about to step forward to say something, but his tutor behind him grabbed his sleeve.
“Don’t be impulsive. Her aura is very strange. If you really confront her, some of your methods will be easily revealed. Forget it.”
The tutor looked at Su Jiu with a grave expression. He actually felt a sense of threat from a student. His cultivation level had reached Intermediate Battle King, even if it was only the early stage, it was still Battle King level!
Who was this student?!
Had a descendant of some cultivator appeared?
After kicking the opponent away, Su Jiu quietly waited for Youyou to answer her phone, ignoring the surprised expressions of others. All she wanted to know now was Doubi Xi’s exact location.
After about ten more seconds, the call was connected. Amidst some noisy background chatter, she faintly heard, “Hello, Secretary Yan…” – but soon the voice was replaced by a rather cold one, “Hello, Su Jiu. I’m currently holding a press conference on behalf of the government to deal with the K Organization. If there’s nothing important, please hang up.”
“Sister Youyou, I want to ask you a favor, no matter what the cost.” Su Jiu said in a low voice, her voice hoarse. She wasn’t sure if this computer hacker could help her get any useful information.
On the other side, Youyou was slightly stunned and quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Is it urgent?”
“Urgent… Consider it as me owing you a favor, Sister Youyou. Help me investigate an honorary professor at Cambridge University named Vivian.” Taking a deep breath, Su Jiu quickly stated her purpose. This was the only way she could access the other party’s real-world identity.
“Director Mo, please handle this for me first.”
“Secretary Yan, but the mayor…” another male voice sounded somewhat helpless.
“That’s it. If there are any problems, let the mayor find me.”
Youyou quickly replied. The noisy voices around her began to fade, and she said softly to Su Jiu, “Don’t say that. Let me see what’s happening at Cambridge. If I know the professor’s name, I should be able to find out quickly.”
“Thank you!”
Taking a deep breath, Su Jiu thanked her repeatedly, glanced at the people around her, and was about to turn away. If even Doubi Xi couldn’t handle this matter, it must be a big problem. She had to go find Mr. Wenders for help…
“Wait…”
Just as she stepped off the stage and hadn’t taken a few steps, a voice called out to her. Su Jiu slowly turned her head, looking with surprise. The person who called her was Hu Yang. A hint of helplessness appeared on his face, and he asked, “Is there something?”
“You saved my sister, and so many common people. This is what my Old Man told me to give you. It has the Hu Family’s private phone number. If you need help, the Hu Family will not hesitate to assist.”
Shaking his head, Hu Yang sincerely tossed a card over. Su Jiu looked at the card with some surprise, but she understood in her heart. Many aristocratic families in the Dragon Country valued reciprocal relationships, as this was the only way to achieve longevity.
“It’s already been found out. That professor seems to be trapped in a place called Winged Dragon Valley in Texas. I don’t know why Cambridge hasn’t sent anyone to rescue her despite dozens of parents’ frantic complaints.”
“But it’s understandable. Winged Dragon Valley not only has capturable pet wyverns, but also many fierce sub-dragons with dragon bloodlines, all at least at the High-Rank Battle General level. The reason the professor took students for research was that extremely rare bloodline herbs appeared in the sea, attracting the High-Rank sub-dragons away.”
“However, for some unknown reason, the herbs disappeared, causing the sub-dragons to return madly and block the professor in the canyon.”
Just as she was about to take the card, Youyou relayed some news from the phone, causing Su Jiu’s hand to stop in mid-air. She then looked up slightly, looking at Hu Yang with a wry smile, “Perhaps I need your help now… I need some high-end combat power to accompany me to rescue someone.”
Then Su Jiu roughly explained what had happened to Hu Yang. Hu Yang’s gaze deepened, and after a moment of thought, he looked up and said with a smile, “High-end combat power? If it’s for a rescue, my Hu Family can provide three Intermediate Battle Kings to assist. They can arrive today.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu, disregarding past grievances, rejoiced in her eyes and quickly clasped her fists and bowed slightly, “Thank you for your assistance.”
“It’s just a small matter.”*
Hu Yang waved his hand and said with a faint smile, then began to make another call. His expression had a hint of seriousness, indicating that providing three Intermediate Battle Kings required considerable courage even for a War God family.
Just as Su Jiu was thanking him, Youyou’s voice came from the phone, with a hint of a reminder, “If you’re going on a rescue mission, aren’t you an Elder? You can go to the Magical Capital Night Watcher Headquarters and spend some money to recruit people. You should be able to get some idle people.”
