Qu Jianlei was not unfamiliar with this pressure, and upon hearing this, he immediately stopped.

He spoke with neither humility nor arrogance, ”Fine, since it’s Liao Zhigao stepping in, I’ll give you some face and let these small fry go!”

”You’re really bold,” a figure shot over, suspended in the air, speaking from above.

”Slaughtering so openly near my Jiuchuan Academy, and upon seeing me, you still don’t flee?”

”Liao Zhigao, I advise you to take it easy,” Qu Jianlei squatted down, beginning to search the corpses, not taking the other party seriously at all.

But his confidence had a backup plan, ”Wanna bet how many Wood Attribute Exclusive Poisons I have on me?”

Liao Donglai was taken aback by the words, laughing and saying, ”You really aren’t an ordinary arrogant fellow.”

He initially didn’t plan to make a move, just wanted to drive the other away—I don’t care about your fighting and killing, just don’t do it near the academy!

Upon hearing about the Wood Attribute Exclusive Poison, a twinge of irritation rose in his heart, but…still couldn’t make a move.

The momentum of the battle just now was not small, he could sense it, this was an A-level with Electromagnetic Attribute.

Electromagnetic Attribute alone was already a headache, not to mention the opponent also had exclusive weapons in hand.

Liao Donglai’s Wood Attribute had a certain restraining effect on Electromagnetic, but even so, he had no confidence in defeating the opponent.

This was the main reason he didn’t act.

If it was just a B-level or an ordinary A-level warrior causing trouble around the academy, he’d just drag them back and hand them over to the School Protection Team.

Moreover, Liao Donglai also sensed that the other party also had A-level Golden Armor and Rock Armor.

He wasn’t worried about not being able to break the opponent’s defense, but clearly, there were at least two more A-levels hiding nearby.

So there was really no need to make a move, the A-level Gold Attribute was also a threat to him.

Now the other party was behaving so lazily, even implicitly sending out threats, causing a mixture of feelings in his heart.

Qu Jianlei raised his head upon hearing this, casually glancing: to the Thunder Dragon, you’re nothing more than a conspicuous target.

He continued to loot the spoils, speaking nonchalantly, ”Facing the Electromagnetic Attribute, not wearing Wood Armor is very dangerous.”

Liao Donglai laughed angrily upon hearing this, ”Do I have such a deep hatred with you?”

Could it be that he didn’t want to wear Wood Armor? But there was no way to wear it, the precedence set by Fahim was right there.

Many Wood Attribute Awakened had already thoroughly studied this battle case!

It was generally agreed that encountering such poison, not wearing armor was better. It merely posed a certain danger due to its convergent nature; wearing armor was seeking one’s own death.

However, in team battles, not wearing Wood Armor would still allow help from teammates, and wearing armor of other attributes would greatly reduce the threat,

So strictly speaking, this kind of poison was just unfriendly to lone Wood Attribute warriors.

Anyway, come what may, Liao Donglai dared not wear armor; it might provoke the opponent, not to mention the consequences were too dangerous.

”No hatred mentioned,” Qu Jianlei casually replied, ”I already gave you face by letting those small fry go.”

At this moment, the members of the commerce association, having escaped a certain distance, began to shout.

”Lord Donglai, this guy maliciously disrupted the academy’s educational order…are you just gonna watch?”

”Too much talking!” Qu Jianlei didn’t take out the Thunder Ram Horn, instead raising his hand to unleash a Thunder Strike Skill.

The one speaking staggered and fell to the ground without a sound.

A-level Thunder Strike Skill wasn’t something a B-level could provocatively withstand; this one wasn’t Earth Attribute, truly courting death.

Liao Donglai frowned, speaking with dissatisfaction, ”That’s enough, hurry up and leave!”

”Don’t provoke our old dean to come over as well!”

After all, being an academy with two Supremes, their words carried weight, differing from regular tone.

”Right away, right away,” Qu Jianlei casually replied, ”I just killed Cohen without clearing the battlefield, feeling the loss!”

”What?” Liao Donglai wavered, almost falling out of midair, ”Did you kill a member of the Divine Text Research Association?”

Qu Jianlei didn’t answer him, just continued looting.

The Storage Talismans were straightforward enough, finding a total of five which he casually pocketed, yet there were other supplies in this liaison office!

Qu Jianlei was uncertain of the relationship between Jiuchuan Academy and the Divine Text Research Association, so he sped up the battlefield cleanup.

Seeing this, Liao Donglai sighed, ”We have official interactions with the Research Association; if you don’t leave soon, I’ll seriously have to call someone over!”

I truly don’t want to provoke you, but don’t overstep, kid!

For him to notify several times has already given lots of face to the other party—Jiuchuan Academy on the Star of Hope has always been quite aloof!

Qu Jianlei still ignored him, continued looting, until he stuffed an off-road vehicle into the Storage Talisman, then lifted his head for another glance.

In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the night.

From a distance in the night came a voice, ”You really called someone, next time I see you, I’ll have to teach you a good lesson!”

Liao Donglai wasn’t bothered by his threat, just frowned while looking into the distance, muttering softly.

”Electromagnetic Body Technique… really is quite remarkable.”

The space beside him rippled, a figure appeared, a young man with clear eyebrows and bright eyes.

But in fact, this was the old dean of Jiuchuan Academy, a Supreme with Gold Attribute.

”Brother Donglai, how did he get away?”

”There was no way to stop him,” Liao Donglai sighed. ”The other side had no ill intentions; it’s better to avoid unnecessary troubles.”

”I really want to confront him,” the young man snorted softly. ”What’s the big deal with the Electromagnetic Attribute; can he really restrain me?”

Electromagnetic Technique has restraint over the Gold Attribute, but ultimately, it depends on the Cultivation Level.

If one’s Gold Attribute Cultivation Level is high, their Technique can divert the attack of lightning, thereby counter-restraining the opponent.

The old dean is a few years younger than Liao Donglai and was once a prodigy that amazed the entire Star Realm, naturally proud and ambitious.

Even if he were restrained by the Electromagnetic Attribute at the same Cultivation Level, he would still try to challenge it—my micro-operation might not be inferior.

Now being doubted as unworthy of an A-level, he felt quite hard to accept.

”He has a personal weapon,” Liao Donglai said solemnly. ”Also, do you know how he discovered you were coming?”

The old dean still felt unconvinced, ”Isn’t it just strong Perception, so what?”

Liao Donglai slowly shook his head, ”No, when I was notifying you with Spiritual Power, he sensed it.”

This was not a wild guess; the other party had already clearly indicated that he knew someone was ”calling for reinforcements.”

”Seriously?” the old dean was also startled.

Although he was younger than Brother Donglai, he advanced to Supreme at an older age and was well aware of his senior’s depth of Spiritual Power.

Liao Donglai shook his head dejectedly, ”This guy just killed Cohen and even dared to move against the Divine Text Research Association people.”

”Fortunately, he has no malice against the academy, otherwise I might follow in Fahim’s footsteps.”

”Fahim...” The old dean’s expression was also peculiar. ”These people really dare to use poison recklessly?”

Liao Donglai glanced at him, ”You already know they are ’these people’; can you guarantee there aren’t more troublesome ones than him?”

The old dean pondered for a while before sighing deeply, ”Forget it, the Electromagnetic Body Technique is also a headache.”

”But I’m curious, what kind of provocation did these guys suffer to initiate such an aggressive attack?”

Not only he but also the people in the Divine Text Research Association and the Cyan Blade Commerce Association were puzzled.

After learning that two Supremes were killed within less than half an hour, these two major forces were completely shocked.

Especially the Divine Text Research Association, which had always been smooth sailing, from toppling Hoyel to capturing other remnants, everything was logical and smooth.

Panda was an exception; he wasn’t captured but went into hiding, not daring to show his face at all.

The Research Association didn’t think there was anything unusual, they had already gotten used to their own invincibility and didn’t consider the other party ”sensible.”

Truthfully, after this, those people still dared to occasionally show up, which they found hard to accept.

It’s one thing to strike at the Cyan Blade Commerce Association, but even Tomorrow Company, which aided the Research Association’s bounties, was actually massacred.

They had seen reckless fools, but never ones this reckless.

To the Divine Text Research Association, this was almost like a slap in the face, something they absolutely couldn’t tolerate.

Of course, during this process, they also thoroughly investigated Panda’s background.

They had to admit that this person had no intersection with Hoyel.

Even Panda’s interactions with Hertman began with a misunderstanding and then turned from enemies to friends.

For people of this nature, there’s no need to pursue them relentlessly, as it would only create strong enemies out of nowhere.

But the Divine Text Research Association didn’t see it that way, having grown accustomed to being domineering—dare to slap my face? Then I won’t let you become someone!

That’s why when they learned Tomorrow Company was massacred, they immediately mobilized rapidly, gathering seven Supremes at one point.

Was Panda so frightened he dared not show his face anymore? That was very normal, but... this matter was far from over!

Now it was the opposite, these bastards actually took the initiative to come to their door, murdering the Research Association’s Supreme Cohen!

The Divine Text Research Association’s first reaction was: ”How dare you?”

Yes, we are meant to find and catch you, that’s expected; how dare you fight back and even take the initiative to kill?

The second reaction was: ”Why would there be such a change? Who’s support emboldened them to such an extent?”

They had truly enjoyed the carefree days for too long, never believing any organization would dare confront the Research Association head-on.

If it was an individual’s action, it wouldn’t be too surprising, but organizational action... that was absolutely impossible!

Thus, they concluded that there must be external forces involved—most likely coming from military forces.

However, after some analysis, they finally realized their assumption might be wrong.

These two murders weren’t simultaneous; there’s a key point: they killed Cohen first, then Arindel.

Kenter and others, out of fear, didn’t dare report to them in time, which was a bit infuriating, but also understandable.

Anyway, after Cohen was killed, the Research Association didn’t suffer further losses, not even losing the Supreme’s Storage Talisman.

So they didn’t bother with these people.

The main reason was the subsequent capture efforts still needed cooperation from these forces; if they turned hostile, they wouldn’t even have enough manpower.

Speaking to other forces, it would not only sound unpleasant but also easily cause division.

The Research Association people were arrogant but not foolish; how could they possibly push their teammates away at such a critical moment?
