Chapter 228: Annoying Brother, My Candy Is Almost Gone!
As Liu Qing's surrender echoed through the arena, Su Qian's figure flickered, appearing at the center of the six fiery lotuses. He grabbed Liu Qing by the collar, then vanished again, tossing him out of the battlefield.
Liu Qing's legs gave out the moment he landed. He slumped to the ground, utterly spent.
Where was the mighty "Overlord Spear" now?
His former sharpness and dominance were completely gone. He looked like a withered eggplant, shriveled and lifeless.
But no one cared about him anymore.
Because all eyes were on the true focal point the man standing in the middle of six beautiful, yet terrifying lotus flames.
Wu Tian stood there, hands clasped behind his back, an innocent smile on his face.
Su Qian appeared beside him, his voice laced with exasperation.
"Brat, are you trying to blow up the entire Jia Nan Academy?"
Wu Tian shrugged nonchalantly.
"With you here, Grand Elder, how could I possibly destroy the academy? I was just scaring him a little."
"Then hurry up and put away those ridiculous things!" Su Qian gestured toward the six fiery lotuses floating ominously around them.
Wu Tian nodded, flashing a benevolent smile.
"Since it's your request, Grand Elder, of course, I'll comply!"
A strange feeling crept up Su Qian's spine. Something was off…
The next instant, he realized why.
The six lotuses suddenly shot toward him and Wu Tian at full speed.
"Holy sht! HOLY SHT!!!"
Su Qian's beard nearly stood on end as he instantly dodged out of the center.
Meanwhile, Wu Tian casually waved his hand, absorbing five of the lotuses back into his body.
He left one in his palm, where it shrank to the size of a flower bud, pulsating ominously.
He glanced at it and sighed.
"Sigh~ The academy has been feeling a little dull lately. How about some fireworks to liven things up?"
Then, with a flick of his fingers, the tiny lotus shot toward Liu Qing.
Liu Qing, who had just started to calm down from his earlier terror, suddenly saw Wu Tian flick a flaming lotus directly at him.
His eyes bulged.
If he had been drinking water, he would've spat it all over himself in horror.
"W Wha "
He couldn't even finish his curse before the lotus reached his face.
Liu Qing's soul nearly left his body.
"I'M DEAD. I'M ACTUALLY DEAD."
But then
A majestic figure appeared before him.
Liu Qing almost cried tears of joy.
"Grand Elder! You saved me!"
Su Qian was beyond exhausted at this point.
Just now, he had saved Liu Qing from six impending explosions.
And now, before the poor kid could even catch his breath, Wu Tian flung another one at him?!
"Can't you just let this go, brat?!"
But there was no time to argue.
Su Qian stepped in front of Liu Qing, his white robes fluttering in the fiery wind. His silver hair and beard swayed dramatically his imposing figure radiating the grace of a seasoned master.
With a single powerful kick, he sent the flaming lotus flying into the air.
Then
Something unexpected happened.
The lotus vanished into thin air.
Su Qian's eyes widened.
His right leg was still extended in the air but there was nothing to kick.
He had…
Kicked nothing.
Because the lotus was never real in the first place.
But his leg had already committed to the motion, leaving him completely off balance.
In full view of the entire audience, the Grand Elder spun 360 degrees midair before stumbling to a stop.
His face was frozen, as if trying to play it cool, pretending nothing had happened.
Silence.
Then
Liu Qing fainted on the spot.
The fear was too much.
Su Qian was beyond done.
His waist hurt.
His dignity hurt.
But most of all, his soul hurt.
Wu Tian gracefully landed beside him, his tone filled with mock admiration.
"Grand Elder, as expected of you! You erased my lotus with a single kick! Truly incredible!"
Su Qian's eyelid twitched violently.
"YOU LITTLE SHT! YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE?!"*
He was so furious he nearly coughed up blood.
"At this rate, the only one who can handle you… is that damn little monster!"
Su Qian forced a kind looking smile, patted Wu Tian's shoulder, and said:
"You're truly impressive. No wonder you get along with that little troublemaker, Zi Yan. Perhaps I should introduce you two properly."
Wu Tian grinned.
"Oh? I'd love to meet her! She seems very interesting. But, Grand Elder… you might get punched."
Su Qian blinked.
"Punched?"
Then
A cute yet commanding voice rang out.
"Old man, are you talking about me behind my back again?"
Su Qian stiffened.
He turned to see a petite, purple haired girl skipping toward them.
Zi Yan.
She completely ignored Su Qian and ran straight to Wu Tian, grabbing his arm and shaking it like a spoiled child.
"Annoying Brother, you were so amazing just now! But my candy is almost gone!"
Dead silence.
The entire arena was in shock.
Their jaws practically hit the floor.
Even Su Qian, who had been hoping Zi Yan would put Wu Tian in his place, was stunned.
The "Monster Overlord," the terror of the Inner Academy, the Demon Queen of brute strength…
…was acting like a spoiled little sister?
Wu Tian ruffled Zi Yan's hair affectionately, smiling.
"Be patient, little one. When you run out, I'll make more for you. I've already sent the members of Ri Yan Alliance to gather herbs for you. You'll have all the candy you want."
Zi Yan beamed.
"Hehe, thanks, Annoying Brother! But don't rub my head! You're making me short!"
She pouted adorably, her cheeks puffed out.
Nearby, Xun Er and Hu Jia watched with amusement.
Wu Tian saw their expressions and quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"Alright, alright! No more head pats!"
The entire arena was dumbfounded.
"Since when was the "Monster Overlord" so easygoing?!"
"This can't be real. This… this is a different person, right?!"
Some students even daydreamed.
"She's so cute… I wanna pat her head too "
Then they snapped back to reality.
"WAIT, WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?!"
"Pat her head? Are you TRYING TO DIE?! Even saying something bad about her behind her back gets you sent flying!"
One thing was certain
Wu Tian was the most dangerous man in the entire Inner Academy.
And now…
He had the most dangerous little sister too.
