The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

While he admired him, he was also somewhat jealous.

Even though we're all from prestigious universities, why do all the geniuses go to your school?

This makes him seem rather dull, having chosen Taipei City College.

Looking at the galaxy of geniuses at Huaqing University, it was impossible for Bai Huanran not to feel anxious. He was already a senior, but none of the younger students in the entire school could shoulder the responsibility.

Originally, he favored Guan Jinyue, but it turned out that Guan Jinyue was directly hired by the devilish BOSS.

Long Ao's patience reached its limit, and his crimson aura surged violently, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the hard floor beneath his feet from the force of his energy: "You dare to scheme against Huaqing? Take this!"

[Brother Ao's traditional skill: late but always arriving.]

Bai Huanran's mental fortitude is incredible. He can still laugh even after his secrets have been exposed. He's a ruthless person.

[Don't be afraid, Brother Shan, you have the strongest backing from Huaqing University!]

"No, junior Long Ao!"

Bai Huanran slid to the side, his movements as light as a weightless leaf, just barely avoiding the powerful punch that could shatter a steel plate.

"Fighting and killing damage harmony. Why can't we sit down and talk things out?"

Long Ao remained silent, only throwing punches with increasing ferocity, the resulting wind howling through the air.

However, every strike he made seemed to hit empty air, as his opponent dodged it with minimal effort and with the least amount of force.

[Ao Ge is on fire again. This Bai Huanran is like wide rice noodles, pure skill-based.]

Bai Huanran can't stand losing. The captain would lose face completely if he lost to an ordinary student; he simply won't go head-to-head with Long Ao.

[A man surnamed Hiiragi, who wished to remain anonymous, slowly typed a question mark.]

At this moment, the others from Taipei College made their move.

They moved like ghosts across the battlefield, and the students of Huaqing University, seeing this, naturally refused to be outdone.

"Hold them off, don't let them go to provide reinforcements!"

"Qin Wu, your opponent is me!"

A senior college student from Taipei shouted and swung his long sword straight at Qin Wu, forcing the latter to parry.

"court death!"

Qin Wu's pent-up anger found an outlet. He concentrated his energy in his fist and clashed violently with the opponent's longsword, unleashing a piercing metallic groan.

The entire square instantly descended into chaos.

An Changqing drew his longsword, its gleaming light forcing back two Taipei students who had ambushed Su Yuehe and Shan Heng. His brows furrowed, and his heart sank.

"Haha, Qin Wu, is all you Huaqing people know how to do is use brute force?"

Bai Huanran weaved through Long Ao's fist shadows, his trash talk never stopping.

"Look how smart your first-grader is. He saw through my plan right away, unlike some people whose brains are all muscles."

"Just say you want to die."

Long Ao appeared angry, but in reality, he remained calm and focused on his tasks.

After spending a lot of time with An Changqing, he did make some progress.

For example, he learned how to feign anger and then calmly plot against his opponent.

Stop.

On the other side, Su Yuehe walked out from behind An Changqing, her face devoid of its usual smile, her clear eyes filled with an unyielding indifference.

The moment the sound faded, time seemed to freeze.

The movements of Long Ao, whose punches were like whistling winds, Bai Huanran, who was as slippery as a fish, and the others who were fighting in pairs, all stopped at this moment.

The entire square was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

For the first time, Bai Huanran's smile froze as he realized his body was no longer under his control.

He wanted to move, to back away, to continue his taunts, but his throat felt like it was sealed with cement, and his limbs felt like they were filled with lead, too heavy to lift an inch.

Not only him, but all the students at Taipei Academy were frozen in place, maintaining an attack or dodge stance, their faces filled with terrifying horror as if they had seen a ghost.

"This...this is..."

Qin Wu stared at the scene before him, his tongue practically tied in knots.

Long Ao was also stunned. He looked at Bai Huanran, who was standing in front of his fist with a look of horror on his face, and then looked back at that thin figure.

Su Yuehe took two steps forward, her footsteps echoing crisply on the gravel, a sound that was particularly jarring in the deathly silence.

Her gaze swept over all the frozen Taipei College students, her voice remaining calm.

"Disarm."

Ding-dong!

A crisp metallic sound as it hit the ground.

Bai Huanran's weapon, along with the weapons of the other Taipei students, all slipped from their hands and fell to the ground in an instant.

Before they even understood what was happening, they felt an irresistible command coming from their wrists, forcing them to release their weapons.

"Step back."

The third word.

Everyone at Taipei Academy, including Bai Huanran, staggered backward uncontrollably, their postures disheveled, until their backs slammed into the crumbling building walls before they came to a stop.

Their faces were filled with pure fear.

"Words of power... How could your words of power..."

Bai Huanran finally regained a sliver of control over his body. He leaned against the wall, his eyes filled with shock.

He was familiar with the person in front of him, but the power of this incantation seemed off.

Were there any AOE skills this strong before?

This is supposed to be a traditional market?! You've won!

Su Yuehe did not answer. She stood quietly in the center of the square, her gaze fixed on Bai Huanran.

Then, she revealed a faint smile that sent chills down Bai Huanran's spine.

"Senior Bai."

Her voice was as soft as a breeze.

"Now, can we have a proper talk?"

Long Ao's fist was still hanging in mid-air, but the muscles on his face were as stiff as stone carvings, and his eyes, which were burning with fighting spirit, were now filled with confusion.

His gaze fell on his frozen fist, then he stiffly turned his head to look at the thin figure in the center of the square. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single syllable.

Not just friends, but allies are also controlling?

"Yuehe...you..."

Qin Wu and the senior students behind him had the same expression, from rage to astonishment, and now to disbelief.

They had fought for years and seen countless powerful superpowers, but they had never seen such unreasonable control.

This wasn't a battle; it was pure suppression.

These second-year students are insane! None of them are ordinary!

An Changqing stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Su Yuehe. His long sword had been sheathed at some point, and the smile on his gentle face had vanished.

He knew that Su Yuehe was not originally going to use this move because it was too energy-consuming, had a long wind-up, and didn't distinguish between friend and foe, suppressing everyone in front of her at once.

Every second wasted now is an unwise choice.

"Senior Bai, Yuehe is asking you a question."

His voice broke the silence.

Bai Huanran's eyes darted around with difficulty, his gaze shifting from Su Yuehe to An Changqing, finally settling on Chen Guan, who was holding a sickle and completely detached from the situation, not far away.

If he refuses to answer, the elusive, terrifying scythe-wielding man next to him won't be joking.

Fear spread from the deepest part of my heart.
