When a tall, elegant woman walked up to a man, the vast majority wouldn't even think of refusing the request. While there seemed to be nothing wrong with her words at first, a cultivation student would immediately detect that something was wrong.
First and foremost, it was impossible for a spirit sword to get stuck in between two rocks unless it was the Tianzun Shi … otherwise, spirit swords would be able to cut through rocks like soft rice balls. And also, Foundation Establishment high school gyms were not open all day, and given No. 89's heavily-guarded state in the past few days, anyone who wanted to use the gym had to apply so in advance. The gym would only be opened during school periods and closed at all other times.
The reason for this is because the gym room is surveillance-free. So if crimes wanted to take place in there, they could happen.
No. 89 High School's authorities had already tried everything they could to tighten security, but against such an opponent, what could they do?
…
Tianrui thought his time had arrived. Floating on air, he followed the maiden to the gym, but was taken aback when the front doors were locked.
His mind finally calmed down at this scene, and the most powerful brain in history began to realize something was up…
At that moment, the girl at the front also stopped. Turning around slightly, she gave Tianrui a smile.
Tianrui put a hand on his chin, "Classmate Su, why don't you wait until tomorrow to alert the teachers about your stricken situation?" Her smile was enough to make Tianrui shudder. He wasn't a moron; officially recognized as the most powerful research brain this country had ever had, he could read people thoroughly without difficulty, even if most of his dumbassery comes from those online novels! And his intuition was telling him … Something was most definitely wrong with this girl.
"Mr Huoji… oh, no, it would be more formal for me to call you Tianrui, right? The most powerful brain acknowledged by the Yunzhou Government?" The young girl chuckled, and looked at Tianrui with a mocking gaze. "We've been looking for you…"
Tianrui was stunned at her words. His identity is a state secret! To outsiders, he was Zhang Huoji! Zhang Huoji who lived at Fanghuashuixie in Immortal Palace of Heaven, Zichen city!
He felt his jaw drop a bit, "Who… are you?"
At this time, his braincells started to wander endlessly!
Su Wanqing…
Somehow, he felt that he had heard this name before…
Wanqing… Wanqing… Wait, hold on… Shadow Emblem?!
Tianrui blinked in surprise. This girl was a member in Shadow Emblem?
"Oh? It appears that our most powerful brain has called back something…" The girl shrugged off her jacket, revealing a large tied golden dragon badge around her neck.
A Shadow Emblem Dragon Gold Assassin! This wasn't just an expert among assassins, this was an expert among those experts!
Furthermore, apart from showcasing her rank as Shadow Emblem Dragon Gold assassin, this also represented her position as senior governor of the organization.
Tianrui remembered that he was once reading files on killers, and found out the number one killer was the most mysterious, "The Cold Moon Killer." Although most of the fifth to second spots were occupied by Shadow Emblem Gold Badged Assassins, this delinquent as first has not yet revealed information.
But at the moment, this was unimportant! The main thing was why Shadow Emblem's wheels were still turning!
The spirit sword exchange between both schools was about to start. Not to mention, Tianrui already knew that they just wanted to stir up trouble, although, he didn't feel like they could cause such devastating waves…
After all, Xero was here.
In an extremely short span of time, Tianrui summarized all of his thoughts, then looked at the girl and said, "Your goal is to attain me, correct?"
…
Seeing the girl's lack of response, he added, "Your goal is to get revenge on the humiliation you faced weeks before, right? To use me as a weapon in order to disrupt the spirit sword exchange?"
Su Wanqing patted her chin innocently, "Mm.. Let's just say you're right."
"However, didn't you consider that even if you found out who I am, to the outside world, I would just be an ordinary person. So if you were to kidnap me, it wouldn't really cause chaos."
"What if we expose your real identity then?"
Zhang Tianrui: "… Eh?"
"How would that benefit you?"
"As long as it's stupid for you, it's an advantage for Shadow Emblem. Even now, when we give it thought, it's still unbelievable that the assassins previously dispatched were killed at such a school. The leaders of the two schools will be present during the spirit sword exchange… as well as other experts too."
"F**king shit?! Are you trying to kill them all?" Tianrui was shocked.
"Huh? What's there to be shocked about dumbass, it's just two ordinary high schools. According to our intel, isn't the most powerful expert that will be present there only at Golden Core Stage? I can squeeze someone with that kind of power level to death with just two fingers." She smiled knowingly, chuckling.
"…"
First of all, putting aside whether or not she would be able to… squeeze Xero to death? Based on the results when Shadow Emblem had dispatched assassins last time, ending in their deaths, he felt that the management in the damn cooperation hadn't learned their lessons at all!
In other words, they didn't know what kind of enemy they were facing…
That was Xero… if that talisman seal was not on his nape in one of these days, he'll be an existence that will terrify Tianrui and most definitely the whole world!
"Listen… I encourage you to give up on this idea and go home, mom is urging for the dishes to be washed." Tianrui reminded her.
In this world, there was actually someone who was dumber than him!
He didn't really understand why a cute and elegant girl would want to kill herself so badly.
"No f**king way!"
It was very clear this girl hardened herself. "We've been preparing for this revenge operation to go as planned!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand while a spirit light suddenly glowed in her hand. A long, blue, crystalline rock formed in her hands and glowed. "You know what this is right?"
"So it was you that stole the twilight stone from the research department!" Tianrui was fed up; he indeed knew what that was.
This was a magic weapon that was still in its development! The base of this twilight had been merged with modern space technology and some of Tianrui's energy compartments he invented; it encompassed cultivation arts and science technology. It was still in testing, the power of this stone not only allowed the user to teleport numerous times to a distance of well over five hundred meters, they could also hide their aura in another dimension so that magical senses wouldn't interfere!
But such a valuable asset had been stolen a week ago from the research department, and the Yunzhou Science University had been working diligently to consider this solved. Tianrui had never expected that the twilight stone would land in the hands of the enemies!
For this bunch, who would kill without hesitation, for them to obtain this… was a death wish!
The young girl placed a hand on Tianrui's shoulder, the other skillfully manipulating the twilight stone. He was sleepy for a moment, but when he came back to his senses; he was inside the gym.
"Hehe… We'll have the most powerful brain stay here for the night before the spirit sword exchange tomorrow…"
"Wait, may I ask, what time is it right now?"
"It's almost seven o'clock, why?"
"F**k! Already?!" He hadn't delivered the new version of the talisman seal to Xero yet!
After a simple calculation in his head, he figured that there wasn't much time before the old talisman expired!
"Did you forget to clean your room or something?"
Seeing Tianrui's panicked face, Su Wanqing laughed a little.
After thinking calmly for a moment, Tianrui looked at her with a serious face. "… Elder sister, you may be surprised, but if you don't let me go, the solar system may be destroyed."
"… What?"
