章 9: Chapter 9: Asserting Authority
Chapter 9: Asserting Authority
Upon being decisively refused by Xiao Yu, Yao Liang's expression subtly changed. Suppressing his displeasure, he put on a friendly smile and said, "Xiao Yu, think about it again. Of course, the teacher won't let you offer it for nothing. I also have many rare treasures in my possession. As long as you're interested, the teacher can exchange them with you."
"I refuse."
Xiao Yu would have to be crazy to believe that a random passerby like Yao Liang could produce anything comparable to the high-quality items provided by the system. Without hesitation, he declined, "Teacher, you yourself said that my cultivation technique is very unique. It's a secret technique passed down in my family and cannot be shared."
"You really refuse?"
Yao Liang, now dropping the smile, looked at Xiao Yu with a fierce expression. With his martial soul activated, his three yellow and one purple soul rings revealed themselves as he stared at Xiao Yu menacingly. "Kid, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Seeing this, both Gao Huan and Gao Jue in the stands had their faces drastically change. They cursed Yao Liang inwardly. As Xiao Yu had said, this unique technique must be a secret manual passed down within his family. Who would be willing to share such a thing? How could the vice principal, relying on his cultivation level, force a student to divulge it? If news of this spread, who would be willing to enroll in their academy? However, before they could intervene, someone else couldn't hold back any longer.
"Seeking death!"
With a cold snort, Milo, who had been sitting quietly in the stands, was already in front of Xiao Yu. A pair of gorgeous wings sprouted from his back, and his two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings rose slowly in front of him.
"Soul... Saint!"
Yao Liang staggered back a few steps, the immense pressure from Milo causing him to directly exit the state of martial soul fusion. His face turned pale in an instant.
Behind the Mingjing Academy, there was indeed an invested force of a sect, but it was only considered average on the continent. Yao Liang dared to ignore Gao Huan because he had the backing of a Soul Emperor-level elder from a sect. His audacity to seize Xiao Yu's technique also stemmed from this.
In his understanding, although Xiao Yu possessed a unique meditation manual, it probably didn't come from a major force. Otherwise, he would have enrolled in their family's academy long ago, and those disciples from major sects wouldn't venture out for experience at the age of six or seven. This kid was probably from a glorious lineage that had since fallen. That's why he dared to use his power to seize the secret manual. He never expected to encounter such resistance.
"You're very bold!"
Milo's cold voice filled the air, and his killing intent instantly spread out. Yao Liang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"Respected Soul Saint."
Gao Huan and Gao Jue hurriedly rushed onto the martial soul stage one after the other. They hadn't expected the silent figure beside Xiao Yu to be a Soul Saint powerhouse. It's worth noting that only the head of their respective sects had reached the level of Soul Saint.
"Do you both want to fight me together?"
Milo glanced at the two of them coldly and said.
Damn fool, greedy for more and causing a disaster!
*Chapter 9: Establishing Authority*
Both Gao Huan and Gao Jue cursed Yao Liang inwardly, and quickly made their stance clear, "Respected Elder, we have absolutely no intention of coveting Xiao Yu's techniques. This was all Yao's personal actions. We will definitely give you and Xiao Yu a reasonable explanation. Please calm down!"
After the two men spoke at length, seeing Milo unmoved, they shifted their gaze to Xiao Yu behind him, "Xiao Yu, the teacher knows you've been wronged just now, but the teacher still hopes you can advise this Elder."
Xiao Yu remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he was pleased. He had been thinking about how to establish his position in the academy quickly, but unexpectedly, someone who didn't know the severity of the situation came forward, helping them assert their authority.
This favor still had to be sold to these two academy seniors. After all, Xiao Yu was still planning to enroll for the sake of completing the system's task.
"Milo, step back."
Xiao Yu spoke slowly.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Milo immediately retracted his overflowing killing intent and retreated behind Xiao Yu.
Gao Huan and Gao Jue exchanged a glance, and they had even more admiration and wariness towards Xiao Yu. It was likely that this youth was a direct descendant of a major sect sent out for training. Such a person must not be offended. However, if handled properly, they could possibly form a beneficial relationship with him and his sect.
Although they didn't speak, their eye contact conveyed their thoughts.
At this moment, Gao Huan, as the dean, spoke without hesitation, "Yao Liang, as a vice dean, you actually covet a student's secret techniques and attempt to use force to seize them. Such behavior tarnishes the teacher's ethics, and the academy cannot keep you any longer."
Expelling the vice dean might be acting first and reporting later, but he believed that with a vice dean who offended a Soul Saint protecting a student, especially one who referred to him as "Young Master," even if the major sect behind the academy learned of this, they would support his decision. Perhaps, in order to foster goodwill, they might even send him on his way.
...And so, a minor incident during enrollment passed. After learning about Xiao Yu's mysterious background, Gao Huan went out of his way to arrange the best single-person dormitory for him.
Xiao Yu was naturally very satisfied with this arrangement. A single-person dormitory not only provided him with the best environment for meditation practice but also prevented many of his secrets from being discovered by roommates. In case of emergencies that required contacting Milo and Hui Huo, it also avoided many unnecessary troubles.
As night fell, Xiao Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating the soul power throughout his body via meditation.
The meditation technique provided by the system was indeed far superior to most meditation techniques in the Douluo Continent. Mighty soul power circulated rapidly throughout his limbs and hundreds of bones, gradually expanding his body's meridians under the impact of soul power. In just over ten minutes, he had completed a revolution.
"Boom!"
After who knows how long he had meditated, as he saw the eastern sky gradually lightening, Xiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes, shouted angrily, and the soul power that had been circulating for a long time dispersed instantly like explosives detonating.
This was the essence of the meditation technique adapted by the system from the cosmos-based small universe in the Saint Seiya world. The so-called small universe refers to the latent cosmic energy within the human body, which is the source of human strength. True Saints can tap into their internal small universe to unleash superhuman power, capable of shattering stars and tearing the earth apart.
But for now, Xiao Yu's level was too low, clearly not reaching the level where a Saint could punch through the sky and kick apart the earth, let alone the legendary ability to shatter stars. To be more precise, he was still galaxies away from that level. He probably couldn't even crush a slightly larger stone.
Crack!
At this moment, there was a sound of a wooden board breaking beneath Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu instantly realized what had happened, his face changed slightly, revealing a bitter smile. Alright, it was a bit powerful, at least the bed board was broken. For the next few days, he could only sleep on the floor.
