Chapter 174 The Storm Is Brewing
"Oh, so you've captured Rai... Gong from the Eastern Region?!"
Ye Tian slammed his hands on the wooden table, his pupils widening in surprise: "The final piece of the puzzle for the Three Sacred Beasts of the Eastern Huang Region... has finally been completed?!"
"right."
Li Luochen nodded slightly and took out a high-grade ball containing the Thunder Drum: "It's genuine. As for the name, let's call it the Thunder Drum."
"Breaking through the air with flames, rippling water... why isn't it called 'Thunderous Drum' but 'Thunderous Drum'?"
Ye Tian was rather curious. The first two were both xx+ corresponding attributes, but this Thunder Drum had its attribute placed in the middle...
hiss.
It's a bit strange, but nothing serious.
"Let's head back to the Alliance branch then, and register it there. Secretary Liu, would you like to come along?"
Li Luochen stretched out his arm and asked Liu Baifa, who was sitting upright.
"As for me... I won't go. The influence of Arashima University is still quite serious, and besides, there are too many people and too many eyes around here. I need to stay here and keep watch."
Liu Bai politely declined Li Luochen's invitation.
Right now, there is a secret realm in Langqi that has not yet been fully developed, making it easy for others to spy on it.
Without a Champion-level trainer to oversee things, given Gym Leader Liu's strength, he probably wouldn't last long in a dangerous situation.
Therefore, Liu Bai decided to stay here.
Li Xuan didn't say much after hearing this, but instead took Papa and Ye Tian back to Rongcheng University.
He went to register, while Pipa went to the kitchen to process the secret sour sauce.
Just as Li Luochen finished registering for the Thunder Drum, the delicious food from Papa's place was freshly prepared.
I'll go and have a meal there myself; I hope I can have a good time.
I wonder to what extent Piper can process its secret sour sauce.
It smells sour to me, even though I don't know how.
The processing difficulty is probably not small.
……
……
Donghuang area, Fujian Province, Lan Island.
The afternoon sun was scorching, and the intense sunlight made Lan Island University appear deathly still, with even the air feeling stagnant and suffocating.
Jingle Bell……
Inside the administrative office, the telephone rang without warning.
The moment the receiver was lifted, only a cold sentence came from the other end:
"Mo Yuan has been captured. You all should take care of yourselves and stop thinking about power."
The call was abruptly and decisively disconnected, leaving only the busy tone echoing in the sweltering air.
At this moment, the office is full of people.
These people were around fifty years old, all dressed elegantly and with an extraordinary air about them; they were clearly people in important positions.
But as soon as the call ended, the already heavy atmosphere seemed to freeze completely, making it so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Mo Yuan has been captured!
That's a trainer with late-stage gymnastics-level skills!
Furthermore, this time, there were many Gym Leaders among the trainers, and even the Dean of Students from Arashiyama University led a group of elite-level student council members along...
In the end, Mo Yuan was still arrested.
Mo Yuan's capture means that the entire team sent by Lan Island University has been wiped out.
in other words.
The alliance has a high probability of knowing the identities of the dean of students and the other students...
This time, their cleverness backfired.
"Leave now, it might still be in time."
One of them lowered his voice and was the first to consider backing out.
"Liu Bai is far away in Langqi. Even Ye Tian would need time to gather evidence to investigate our connection with Mo Yuan. Why don't we take the first step before they find out?"
"You make it sound so easy for you."
Another man slammed his cane on the ground and sneered, "The customs in Fujian Province are getting stricter every day. Even if we set off now, who can be absolutely certain of escaping Donghuang? Leaving the country at this critical juncture would be nothing short of an admission of guilt."
The man paused slightly, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "The time for Xunhui is approaching. As long as we can successfully capture that guy..."
"At that time, not only Ye Tian and Liu Bai, but even if the entire Eastern Huang Alliance were to arrive, they would have to bow down before the gates of Lan Island University!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged knowing smiles.
"Hey, aren't you all oversimplifying things?"
A young man leaning against the doorframe not far away suddenly sneered, a mocking look on his lips: "If you truly possessed such extraordinary abilities, why would you all be confined to this college, serving as principals or deans?"
"Or do you prefer to give way to others? Do you think you're such good people that being a deputy director-level official is enough for you?"
"Come on, you're just a bunch of old fogies who benefited from the times. There's no ship in this new era that can carry you."
All eyes turned to the young man by the door. Although they were displeased, no one dared to utter a word of rebuttal.
Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.
These words struck a nerve with them.
If they truly possessed the power to manipulate events, who would willingly remain confined to a mere junior college?
He spent his entire life in mediocrity, and only through desperate struggles did he barely manage to reach the threshold of the King level...
In recent years, many trainers from universities across the country have achieved dojo-level training in just three years.
Compared to the top talents, these old guys can only gain an advantage in the "early stages" by bullying the weak.
Not to mention getting into a ministry; being promoted to the level of a full-fledged department director before retirement would be a stroke of luck.
The young man took in their reactions and felt pity for the group of people the organization had recruited.
They are just a bunch of mediocre people who will never amount to anything.
"Just do as you normally would for now. There can't be any mistakes on the return journey. If you displease the master, he'll throw you into the sea to feed the megalodon!"
After saying that, the young man left the office angrily.
Only the principal and his deans were left, sweating profusely.
"Damn it! I can't just swallow this insult!"
The principal stared coldly in the direction the young man had gone.
"What should we do? Should we gang up on him?"
One of the deans had murderous intent in his eyes.
"No."
The principal shook his head, knowing full well the terrifying strength of the young man: "If we can't lay a hand on him, then we'll make these students suffer."
"The school rules have been amended: from now on, students cannot make up for missed nighttime dormitory check-ins, must remain in their dorm rooms after 10 PM, and there can be no trash in the trash cans..."
"Also, from freshman to sophomore year, students are required to participate in morning reading, campus runs, evening self-study sessions... everything is mandatory."
"As for the junior interns, all members except those in the student union need to pay an agency fee."
"We can't get involved in these matters. We can simply turn the conflict between school rules and students into a conflict between the student council and ordinary students. Our school can just stay out of it."
"Anyway, most of the students who joined the student council like to do this kind of thing."
"And also... regarding the matter of the Xunhui Festival, you all must do your utmost to bring Prince Canghai into your fold!"
"At that time, by seizing the Prince of the Ocean and commanding the creator of the sea, everything will ultimately belong to us!"
Rongcheng, Alliance Branch.
While registering information for the Thunder Drum, Li Luochen stood by the window, gazing at Lan Island, and murmured, "Truly, a storm is brewing..."
