Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

Dilline stared at him blankly, letting him drape the clothes over her shoulders.

"Yeah, I just got back. Since you weren't coming home tonight, I had dinner with them first. I didn't expect something like this to happen to you." Chu Ci said calmly, seemingly oblivious to the increasingly tense atmosphere around him.

Dillian gripped the dress tightly in both hands, her eyes reflecting Chu Ci's image for a long time, unwilling to let it leave her.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and whispered.

"You'd better leave quickly. Coreya's experts are currently at the academy. Once they arrive, you'll..."

boom!

Before she could finish speaking, a majestic and aged voice descended upon the area with immense pressure.

"Leave? Where do you think you can run after injuring someone from the Koreia royal family!"

[Ding, you are now immune to the suppression of fire rules.]

A soft silver light flashed across their chests, shielding Chu Ci and Dilin from the targeted pressure.

"The power of rules, a Saint-level expert?"

Chu Ci turned around and saw an old figure standing next to Fa Rui.

Dilline's voice came from behind him.

"Chu Ci, be careful. That is Farun, a powerful figure from the Kingdom of Koreia who has existed for thousands of years. Their kingdom's true strength lies in a living Saint-level being, which is far beyond what a King-level being like Farun can compare to."

Upon seeing Faroun, Faroun was overjoyed.

"Grandfather, it's him! He's the one who cut off my arm! You must avenge me!"

Farun glanced at him from behind with displeasure.

"Shut up! When did the Coria royal family ever raise such a useless piece of trash like you, who can't even handle a woman?"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Chu Ci with a sinister gaze.

"Boy, if this weren't Ilias's Academy and I didn't want to cause further bloodshed, you would have died on the spot long ago. Seeing that you are quite strong, I will give you a chance. Protect my royal family members from now on and voluntarily sign a soul contract, and I will spare your life. What do you say?"

boom!

The oppressive force of the rules struck again like a mountain, but Chu Ci and Dilin remained expressionless.

"Hmm? I didn't expect you to possess such a treasure capable of negating the rules. In that case, hand it over to me as well!"

Sigh, so much nonsense.

Chu Ci raised his hand and shook his head helplessly.

The master thief!

[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully stolen a Singing Scale. This theft went unnoticed by the other party.]

Instead of wasting time talking here, I think you should turn around and check on his situation first.

Chu Ci smiled and pointed behind Faruen, where Farui had already fainted on the ground.

The dizziness effect triggered by the Chaos Poison came quite suddenly; the kid was already unconscious before he could even call for help.

"Hmm?" Farun turned his head in confusion, and upon seeing this, he quickly stepped forward to sense it, his brows furrowing instantly.

"His life force is rapidly draining away—this is your doing! I'm going to kill you!"

"Hey, Brother Run, sparring between juniors is bound to result in injuries, but if you intervene, the nature of the situation changes."

A refined voice interrupted his actions.

"Deedrevan? You're going to stop me?!" Farun stared coldly at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

"This is, after all, my territory of Ilias. It cannot withstand the wrath of a Saint-level expert. Guest, could you please show some mercy?"

Deedlewin smiled and turned to look at Chu Ci.

His tone and manner were so amiable that one couldn't help but want to agree; one couldn't even see any kingly majesty or tyranny in him.

"Then let him live a little longer."

Chu Ci ultimately decided against taking the man's life and stopped using the divine poison.

Killing Fari was easy for him, but the destructive power of a berserk Saint-level being was astonishing.

Now is not the best time.

Sensing that the life force within Farui was no longer fading, Farun ceased his aggressive tactics and prepared to tear through space to leave.

As he was leaving, he turned and gave Chu Ci a sinister look.

"I'll remember this! If you're so capable, then stay in this academy for the rest of your life. Deedlewin can't protect you forever. I'll be waiting for you outside."

Farun left with Fari.

Deedlewin glanced at the spot where the two had disappeared, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes. He then turned to look at Chu Ci with a wry smile.

"Guest, you've put me in a difficult position, offending the entire royal family of Coria."

Chu Ci glanced at him and said calmly.

"So, you just want to watch a Saint-level expert go mad here?"

Deedlewin smiled and shook his head.

"He wouldn't dare, and besides, I won't get into any trouble."

……

This guy!

Chu Ci frowned slightly.

For a Saint-level being to exert himself under such circumstances, there is only one answer: he is afraid of something.

Clearly, only the Dragon King of the Source Water has this qualification.

But the other party's attitude of not caring about human life or even family ties still made him feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that Chu Ci did not respond, Deedlewin turned to look at Dillin behind him and said with a smile.

"My dear Dilling, I'll leave this guest to you. You've caused quite a commotion, and I still have some mess to clean up. I'll be going now."

After speaking, Deedlewin slowly walked towards the academy and eventually disappeared from their sight.

In the quiet garden, only Chu Ci and Di Lin remained.

Perhaps because she had just been frightened, Dilline sat blankly in her seat, occasionally glancing up at Chu Ci.

Chu Ci sat beside her, and casually took out an item from the system space: a scale that shimmered with rainbow light.

【Singing Scales】

Description: This is a tool commonly used by the Scale People to transmit information. Each Sound Scale has another one paired with it. The information to be transmitted can be entered into it, and then it can be crushed, and the information will appear on the other Sound Scale.

"A disposable phone? That sounds like a luxury."

"But this thing is actually a product of the Scaled People? Aren't they in the Wuyia region? How come they have any dealings with the Koreia royal family?" Chu Ci thought to himself, looking at the scale in his hand.

It's important to know that the entire main continent is bisected by a massive mountain range, which almost divides it into east and west sides.

The Wuyia region is located on the eastern side of the main continent. Unless one makes a deliberate attempt to contact it, even a Saint-level being would find it almost impossible to communicate with it. After all, due to the influence of the Blue Star Federation, many Scaled People are hostile to humans, and the Black Scaled People that I had met before were such beings.

"Oh? It seems there's already some information coming in. Let me see what kind of tricks that Saint-ranked being from the Kingdom of Koreia is up to."

With a thought, a few lines of small characters appeared in Chu Ci's mind.

[Ten days from now, my Flamescale Clan will march into the territory of Ilias. At that time, you only need to wait for the opportunity to capture Deidrevin. That being will be kept in check by the strongmen of my clan.]

"Huh? Are they planning a surprise attack on Ilias across the mountains? Have these Flamescale Clan members gone mad? That's a Dragon King-level fighter!"

Although it is said that the Flamescale Clan is the strongest scaled race in the Wuyia region, and its strength far surpasses that of the Blackscale and Whitescale Clans.

But the Source Water Dragon King is at least a demigod-level being, how dare they?
