Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

60: Trouble is comingHao Jiaqi stood in place, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, pondering internally whether to tell Wang Dadong and the others about the Sound Transmission from Cai Yunhan she had just heard.

After careful deliberation, she ultimately decided to keep it a secret for now.

Because she truly couldn’t determine if this matter was related to Class One or not; if it wasn’t, there was no need to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Thus, she secretly resolved to be more observant in the future.

Hao Jiaqi gently took Ding Xiaoyu’s hand and said softly, ”Xiaoyu, let’s go back to the classroom!”

Wang Dadong, however, seemed hesitant. His face slightly flushed, he stammered, ”Uh... well... Anqi is still in the classroom, I... I...”

Before finishing his sentence, he lowered his head, not daring to meet the gazes of the other three.

Seeing this, Arthur Wang couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly, a teasing look on his face as he mocked, ”The great Wang Dadong is actually this scared of a little girl. I’m truly in awe!”

Ding Xiaoyu then advised earnestly, ”Dadong, if you like her, then bravely pursue her. If you keep running away every time you see her like this, you’ll definitely regret it one day!”

However, Wang Dadong’s heart was still filled with conflict and entanglement. He lifted his head, watching Hao Jiaqi and Ding Xiaoyu walk further away, his face wearing an expression of deep anguish as he muttered to himself, ”I... I’m really afraid I won’t be able to control my emotions again and just run away...”

But as he watched the three of them walk further away, Wang Dadong gritted his teeth, as if finally making up his mind. He steeled himself and hurried to catch up with them back to the classroom.

Because deep down, he knew he absolutely could not let Anqi be disappointed in him again.

Just as the group reached the classroom door, suddenly, a terrifying, bone-chilling Killing Intent surged towards them like a tidal wave.

This Killing Intent felt as if it came from the depths of Hell, icy and piercing, making one’s whole body tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Hao Jiaqi immediately and without hesitation shielded Xiaoyu tightly behind her, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Ding Xiaoyu reacted instantly. His expression turned grave, his right hand clenched into a fist, and his internal Combat Power Index erupted like a volcano.

He focused intently, guarding against the front, his gaze as sharp as an eagle’s.

Nearby, Arthur Wang was also on guard, his expression unusually serious. He muttered to himself, ”Who is this? Could they be targeting our Class One? Such terrifying Killing Intent is truly unprecedented!”

Before his words faded, Wang Dadong’s figure flashed, teleporting back into the classroom with lightning speed, and he shouted loudly, ”Class One, all on alert!”

At that moment, the entire Class One felt the surrounding temperature plummet, as if they had been plunged into a frigid winter.

That powerful Killing Intent, like a biting cold wind, ruthlessly swept over everyone’s faces and hearts, leaving them all terrified and shivering.

Cai Wuxiong’s reaction was even more startling. She was like a fierce beast whose territory had been invaded, opening her mouth and growling lowly in a certain direction.

However, despite her ferocious display, her slightly trembling body revealed the deep fear within her heart.

Simultaneously, Cai Yunhan wasted no time in drawing out her signature weapon — the pain-until-death truth whip.

As she swung her arm, the whip cut through the air with sharp arcs, glinting coldly.

Her own Combat Power Index also soared to its peak at this moment, displaying unparalleled strength.

In contrast, Anqi wore a look of utter confusion.

Her eyes wide, she stared blankly at the tense scene before her, completely clueless about what was happening.

Why had everyone suddenly become so panicked and started acting so strangely?

However, in reality, this seemingly innocent ”Anqi” was inwardly roaring furiously: ”Damn it, what are you trying to do? If you ruin my entire plan, I will definitely not let you off!”

Meanwhile, Tian Xin, who had just returned to the office not long ago, sat at her desk lost in thought. For some reason, a strong wave of longing suddenly welled up in her heart, directed at her deceased younger brother, Tian Hongguang.

This sudden surge of emotion left her somewhat flustered. Subconsciously, she rummaged through a drawer and pulled out a yellowed old photograph.

Tian Xin gently stroked the familiar face of her brother in the photo, murmuring to herself, ”Ah Guang, why do I always feel like you’re still by my side?”

Before her words finished, tears uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks.

At that moment, not far from the office door, a figure clad in black tight-fitting clothes, emanating a cold aura, stood silently. This person was none other than Tian Hongguang, appearing in his capacity as a Martial Corpse.

His mission this time was to capture the woman named Tian Xin inside the room and bring her back to his master.

However, when he saw his sister’s tear-streaked face through the door crack, an involuntary pang of sorrow and reluctance stirred in his heart.

Tian Hongguang stood rigidly in place like a statue, his feet seemingly nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.

His eyes would occasionally clear, revealing deep confusion and bewilderment; then they would frost over again, reverting to that cold, emotionless, and lifeless appearance.

His heart was currently experiencing a stormy struggle. Two completely opposing emotions clashed and intertwined within him, nearly driving him to lose his reason.

On one hand, he knew clearly that the person before him was a target he must eliminate; this was an indisputable command. Yet, on the other hand, every time he wanted to strike decisively, an inexplicable force would surge up in his heart, stopping his actions.

He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain, because Martial Corpses have no sense of pain.

He agonizingly questioned himself inwardly: ”What’s wrong with me? Why does my heart waver so much when facing her? Why do I harbor such complex feelings for someone I should eliminate without mercy? This woman... who exactly is she?”

These questions tangled in his mind like a mess of yarn, the more he thought, the more agitated he became.

Meanwhile, far away at the Martial Power Adjudication Department, the Black Dragon sensed Zun’s abnormal state.

His expression changed, and he hastily circulated his Cultivation Technique, channeling powerful magic energy continuously into the connection channel with Tian Hongguang, attempting to regain control of the situation.

”What exactly happened? How did Zun nearly break free from my control? Could there have been some unforeseen variable?”

The Black Dragon frowned, pondering this internally.

As he continuously increased his power output, he finally managed to suppress the turmoil within Tian Hongguang’s heart.

And at that moment, Tian Hongguang’s eyes, once filled with conflict and struggle, suddenly became vacant and lifeless. His face lost all expression, and his entire being reverted to that emotionless, cold Martial Corpse, like a machine.

Meanwhile, back in the Class One classroom, everyone remained on high alert.

Each person’s nerves were taut, vigilantly watching for any sign of movement around them.

The mysterious figure hiding in the shadows, originally prepared to strike at the opportune moment, was about to act when Anqi’s clear voice suddenly rang out.

”Dadong, what’s wrong with you all?”

Anqi walked towards Wang Dadong with a puzzled look on her face.

Hearing Anqi’s voice, Wang Dadong snapped back to reality.

Only then did he realize that Anqi, unlike them, did not possess a powerful Combat Power Index. If danger struck, she would likely be unable to protect herself.

Thus, he quickly called out to Anqi, ”Anqi, come over here quickly!”

At that moment, Wang Dadong completely forgot the nervousness and shyness his special feelings for Anqi usually brought. His mind held only one thought — he must protect Anqi’s safety.

And the figure lurking in the shadows, upon hearing Anqi’s voice, instantly lost all intention to strike.

”Whew! Finally gone, that was terrifying! Who on earth did that incredibly terrifying Killing Intent just now belong to?” After confirming the danger had passed, the members of Class One couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, secretly grateful that this crisis had temporarily subsided.

Hao Jiaqi frowned, her expression serious as she said, ”I have a strong feeling that someone is deliberately targeting our Class One! How about we go find Heartbreak Man and ask him about the situation? Maybe he knows something.”

Hearing this, Wang Dadong, who had been tense-faced, relaxed slightly. He turned to look at Anqi sitting nearby, his eyes somewhat evasive, his speech becoming halting again: ”An... Anqi, you should go back to your seat and sit down.”

Anqi opened her mouth as if to ask something, but Wang Dadong quickly turned around, returned to his own seat, and closed his eyes to rest.

Arthur Wang crossed his arms, nodding thoughtfully: ”Hmm, that Heartbreak Man guy is indeed always mysterious and eccentric. Maybe he really knows something unknown.”

Just then, Cai Wuxiong suddenly shouted at Arthur Wang: ”Dan...ger, Ar...thur!” This sudden shout silenced the entire class, and everyone turned their gaze towards them.

Arthur Wang looked at Cai Wuxiong with confusion and asked, ”You say I’m in danger? Don’t be ridiculous.”

Cai Yunhan quickly stepped forward to explain: ”My sister’s intuition is usually very accurate. You’d better believe it!”

However, Wang Dadong abruptly opened his eyes, slapped the table, and stood up, roaring loudly: ”Hmph, no matter if the opponent is human or ghost, if they dare come looking for trouble with our Class One, I definitely won’t let them off! Just wait and see how I give them a good beating, I have to suppress this Killing Intent!”

Arthur Wang was still pondering Cai Wuxiong’s earlier words, but Wang Dadong’s roar instantly interrupted his train of thought.

He shook his head helplessly, muttering to himself inwardly: ”Sigh, forget it, forget it. I must be going crazy to actually believe Cai Wuxiong’s words.”
