Chapter 419: Is There Any Justice Left?
The Summer Capital Academy was still filled with the scent of blood. The battle had ended some time ago.
The students had transformed into fearless warriors during the battle, fighting against the demons that had emerged.
Among the instructors, there were traitors who had become followers of the demons.
They used a barrier from the Abyss to envelop the academy, covering the dungeon hall as well.
Some instructors even attacked, killing students and using their lives as sacrifices to summon demons from the Abyss.
Members of the Demon Worship Society also rushed in from outside the academy, sacrificing themselves to summon powerful demons.
A Demon King was summoned.
Unfortunately, this Demon King did not understand the situation. This was the Summer Capital Academy, the top academy of the human race.
Here, besides students and instructors, there were also many retired strong individuals from past generations.
The summoned Demon King was immediately surrounded by three god-level experts before it could unleash its power.
It desperately tried to escape.
One against three, it couldn't win.
In the end, after paying a significant price, it managed to escape back to the Abyss.
The instructor in the dungeon hall was eventually killed as well.
During the battle, the Summer Capital Academy suffered some damage, and there were student casualties, but the losses were not significant.
Some instructors even believed that allowing the students to experience such a battle was not a bad thing.
Professionals, besides leveling up in dungeons, indeed needed such training.
Many students' performances were noted by the instructors and were not satisfactory.
"This generation of students has had it too easy."
"Just fighting in dungeons is not enough; they need to be trained on the battlefield, experiencing fire and blood."
"Coincidentally, the Dragon Tribe has also returned and is showing signs of restlessness. There will be no shortage of battles ahead."
"We should assign more battlefield training tasks to let the students train well in real battles."
The academy's high-level officials began to discuss. This demon attack made them realize the academy's shortcomings. Being good at studying, having high levels, and being able to fight in dungeons did not make a qualified professional.
The true purpose of professionals was to fight against the Abyss demons and the returning Dragon Tribe.
Lin Moyu appeared in the dungeon hall, and the seal on the dungeon was finally lifted.
There were still traces of battle in the dungeon hall.
The smell of blood lingered in the air.
Some students were cleaning the battlefield. When they saw Lin Moyu, they stood still and stared at him.
Their gazes towards Lin Moyu were somewhat strange.
If it were just one or two, it wouldn't be a big deal, but when everyone was like this, something was off.
Lin Moyu asked, "Did demons come here just now?"
The student being questioned immediately saluted Lin Moyu, "Reporting to General Lin, the battle just ended."
Lin Moyu nodded, "Don't be nervous. Tell me what happened just now."
Lin Moyu's presence was imposing, calming the student.
The student stammered as he recounted what had happened.
The battle took place both in the academy and the dungeon hall.
Some students were injured, and a few died, but the impact was not significant.
The demons miscalculated the students' strength, making a mistake.
To Lin Moyu's surprise, there were several top-tier professionals hidden among the instructors.
They played a crucial role, quickly resolving the demons.
The Summer Capital Academy was indeed a place full of hidden talents.
There was once an unremarkable instructor at the Summer Capital Academy who suddenly radiated divine light during a class one day.
He stepped into the god-level and continued teaching until the class was over before starting his transformation.
This event is recorded in history and can be verified.
"It seems the Abyss demons underestimated the academy's strength."
"Who would have thought there were three god-level experts hidden in the academy? Truly impressive."
After understanding the situation, Lin Moyu left the dungeon hall.
After Lin Moyu left, the student suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"General Lin's presence is terrifying."
Someone cautiously came over to help him up, "I feel like General Lin is even more powerful than before."
"Not just in strength, but his aura is different."
"Those people just entered the dungeon. I wonder what happened inside."
"The dungeon was sealed just now, and the instructors were helpless. But they all said General Lin would be fine."
The people in the dungeon hall were discussing, but they couldn't pinpoint the change in Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu's aura had indeed changed, a natural transformation after battling a Demon King.
He now carried the aura of a Demon King, a unique yet indescribable presence. Experienced strong individuals could recognize that Lin Moyu had slain a Demon King.
Arriving at the academy, Lin Moyu felt the lingering aura of the recent battle.
He sensed the presence of a Demon King's power and traces left by god-level experts.
Both the Demon King and the god-level experts were incredibly powerful, and their traces lingered for a long time.
The Demon King had fled, and the Summer Capital Academy was not severely damaged.
Only some buildings were destroyed, which could be repaired without much trouble.
Compared to the quiet dungeon hall, the academy was bustling.
Many students were gathered, discussing the recent battle.
Instructors were maintaining order and comforting the students.
Lin Moyu's appearance immediately drew the students' attention.
Most students recognized Lin Moyu and knew his identity.
Seeing him, they all showed respect.
In terms of status, only a few god-level individuals in the academy could stand on equal footing with him.
Even the dean would be a rank lower in terms of status.
This was the rule of the human race, giving the greatest respect to warriors.
Lin Moyu was looking for someone among the students, searching for Xia Xue, Feng Xiu, Zuo Mei, and Shu Han.
But after looking around, he couldn't find them.
He sent them messages through the communicator, but there was no response.
It was as if they had disappeared.
"Hope they're okay."
Lin Moyu had a bad feeling. Suddenly, he saw a familiar face.
It was Director Qiu from the Academic Affairs Office.
Lin Moyu walked over and greeted him, "Director Qiu."
Director Qiu was talking to some instructors. Hearing Lin Moyu's voice, he immediately stood up, "General Lin, you're out!"
He knew Lin Moyu had been sealed in the dungeon. When the battle broke out, he couldn't pay attention to him.
Fortunately, Lin Moyu was unharmed.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and his expression changed.
He stared at the two stars on Lin Moyu's military badge without blinking.
He knew very well what it meant to be a two-star general. It was a huge deal. Lin Moyu had actually... killed a Demon King.
He stammered, "General Lin... did you kill a Demon King?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "I killed one."
"General Lin, which Demon King did you kill?" Director Qiu asked with difficulty, swallowing hard.
His question drew a lot of attention, causing a commotion.
Lin Moyu had actually killed a Demon King.
He was only level 48. No matter how strong he was, it was impossible to kill a Demon King.
A Demon King wasn't made of clay. Even against god-level experts, it was hard to stop them from escaping.
The recent battle at the academy was a case in point. Three god-level experts couldn't stop a Demon King, and it managed to escape.
Unless the Demon King had a death wish.
But the fact was right in front of them. The two-star general badge wasn't fake.
"Is there any justice left?"
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Moyu said softly, "The Flame Demon King."
Hiss!
Hearing the name Flame Demon King, everyone gasped.
It wasn't that the Flame Demon King was particularly powerful. Among the many Demon Kings in the Abyss, the Flame Demon King was considered weak.
But the Flame Demon King's skills were quite perverse, making it invincible against lower-level professionals.
The academy had detailed information about the Flame Demon King, and the instructors present were well aware of it.
Director Qiu murmured, "I didn't expect it to be him. His Death Cut skill... Are you okay?"
Director Qiu suddenly realized he had asked a foolish question. If Lin Moyu were hurt, he wouldn't be standing here.
Lin Moyu replied, "Thank you for your concern, Director Qiu. I'm fine. Director Qiu, I want to ask about my friends. I'm a bit worried."
Lin Moyu mentioned the names of Xia Xue and the others.
"Oh, them. They're fine."
Hearing these names, Director Qiu answered without hesitation, "Xia Xue and Zuo Mei were taken by Dean Xia Bojian. He didn't say what it was about."
"As for Feng Xiu, he took leave a few days ago and returned to his family. He's not in the academy."
"No wonder." Lin Moyu was relieved.
Since they weren't in the academy, they should be safe.
At this moment, the space above twisted, and a giant tower appeared in the sky.
The Divine Summer Tower had arrived.
