It was already midnight, and the stars were casting their light down.
On the grounds of Chuan Province Martial University.
Row upon row of students clad in uniforms stood erect.
Each one of them was brimming with vigor, heads held high, chests puffed out, all members of the student council.
In the distance, countless Martial University students watched with curiosity, wondering what the council members were all doing gathered here.
Bai Xiao'e led several other department heads of the student council, looking up into the sky, waiting.
Today, Bai Xiao'e wore her long hair in a high ponytail, adding a touch of efficiency and valor to her look.
Her black trench coat left her pale, slender waist exposed, with dark leather pants tightly embracing her shapely hips and beautiful legs.
However, her pretty face was somewhat pale; her injuries had not fully healed yet.
"The boss is finally coming back, if he doesn't, the student council will soon fall into chaos," someone next to Bai Xiao'e spoke up, one of the council's department heads.
Bai Xiao'e replied crisply, "What chaos? Isn't everything fine as it is?"
The department head shook his head and humphed, "With Vice President Xue Can vanished, and freshmen strutting about, if this continues, where will our student council's authority lie?"
"Do your job well, and the students will naturally support you. Is it useful to suppress them with just fists?" Bai Xiao'e glanced at him, speaking bluntly.
The department head glared and said angrily, "Bai Xiao'e, whose side are you on? The student council's or with those students? Be careful not to sit on the fence."
"I stand with justice," Bai Xiao'e replied lightly. "You better watch your words. I may be easy to talk to, but I don't mind slicing off your tongue."
The department head inexplicably trembled, not daring to clash with Bai Xiao'e anymore, because among the six heads of the student council, Bai Xiao'e was recognized as the strongest.
She had previously dared to confront Xue Can, and everyone knew Bai Xiao'e was simply too lazy to be vice president; otherwise, Xue Can might not have had his chance.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a roaring from the sky, and a fighter jet came flying in from beyond the heavens. Its shape was striking, and the sound as it broke through the sky was like a ferocious beast's roar.
Swooping toward Chuan Province Martial University.
The department head's face lit up with joy,
"The president and his group have returned!"
"With no tiger in the mountains, the monkey claims to be king. Now that the president, the God of Killing, is back, that kid's good days are numbered. Let's see how he dares to be arrogant."
Bai Xiao'e let out a sneer, choosing to ignore him.
At the same time, she felt a covert concern.
She had heard that Qin Qi had slain nine First Rank individuals from various foreign forces on this excursion, including some who were at Mid-First Rank.
Defeating someone and slaying them are two different things.
It's easy to defeat someone, but if they're determined to run, and everyone has a few life-saving tricks up their sleeve, it's not easy to catch them.
Yet Qin Qi managed to kill nine of them in the Secret Realm, stunning all the foreign forces.
She believed the news would soon spread within the country as well.
Bai Xiao'e had found herself in danger this time, ultimately rescued by Luo Yu. She was grateful in her heart, and though she was a part of the student council, she didn't want Luo Yu to get into trouble.
It wasn't that she doubted Luo Yu's capabilities, but in the Secret Realm, he had killed Lord Black Tiger with the help of methods left behind by Emperor Qin Shi Huang and the addition of ferocious spirits' power. Outside, defeating Qin Qi would be too difficult.
She felt that Luo Yu's training time was still too short.
No, she needed to think of a way to buy him some time. Facing the president right now would lead to serious trouble. Bai Xiao'e bit her lip.
"Boom!"
The fighter jet flew straight into the Martial University grounds. The powerful winds raised everyone's hair, yet no one stepped back.
"The president!"
"The president has returned!!"
The eyes of the student council members blazed with zeal, shouting with excitement.
Many of the new students at the perimeter looked curiously toward them, intrigued by the legendary student council president whom they had only heard about but never seen in the flesh.
What sort of person could inspire such reverence from these proud talents?
The Great Xia's modern fighter jet completed the taxiing mid-air and landed precisely in front of all the student council members.
"Hiss—"
The cockpit door opened.
All the enthusiastically shouting council members instantly fell silent, standing ramrod straight, solemn and serious.
Emerging first was a burly young man with bare chest, black long hair, and a golden band around his head.
His large eyes swept over the dutifully waiting council members below, and he showed a row of gleaming white teeth.
"Damn, finally back."
The department head raised his arm with a shout, and the other council members stamped a foot down, in unison,
"Welcome back, Vice President Wu Tiansong."
Wu Tiansong grinned broadly. "Good, not bad, looking energetic."
He glanced over at the Martial University students watching from afar, and all the old and new students felt a tremble in their hearts.
A new student murmured quietly, "What's with this Vice President Wu Tiansong? Why do I feel numb all over and unable to muster any will to resist just from his glance?"
"Yeah, it's like facing a sleeping ferocious beast. I've also seen Vice President Xue Can, and he wasn't this terrifying."
An older student next to him whispered,
"What do you kids know? Among the three vice presidents of the student council, that Xue Can made it by being a lickspittle, not worth a damn. The other two vice presidents are the real martial arts powerhouses. This Vice President Wu had achieved Second Rank a long time ago, and at Third Rank, he tore apart a Second Rank ferocious tiger beast with his bare hands."
"Hiss—"
"Third Rank tearing apart a Second Rank ferocious beast?" Hearing the rumor, the new students couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. They knew that within the same level, a beast's physique was far superior to that of a human. Being able to kill a beast of the same level was already genius, but to fight a beast in hand-to-hand combat and kill one of a higher level was nothing short of monstrous.
