Super War God in the City

Facing Zha You's ridicule and contempt, Elder Qi He's aged face instantly flushed red.

No matter what, he was a dignified Academy Elder, being humiliated by an academy disciple in front of a thousand people—how could he swallow this blow to his pride?

Liang Dang, Wan Long, and several other Elders stood by without leaving. Seeing Qi He being humiliated, all of them had awkward expressions on their faces.

Although Qi He was considered worthless, he was still an Elder like them; when one was insulted, the others also felt the disgrace.

However, when it came down to it, their status as External Affairs Elders was not very high to begin with, even lower than that of Elite Disciples from the Inner Academy.

These individuals, who lacked any real potential and were neither here nor there, had simply endured over time and finally settled into the positions of External Affairs Elders.

In the eyes of many Elite Disciples from the Inner Academy, they were nothing more than higher-level errand runners for the academy—conveying commands and handling various tasks passed down from above.

"How audacious, don't think that just because you're from a Noble Family, you can run wild. If you want to touch these few today, you must get past me first!" Qi He fumed with anger.

In terms of Cultivation, he was not afraid of Zha You, but Zha You's boss, Xiang Hao, was somewhat troublesome. Otherwise, he would have taught this arrogant fool a lesson right when Zha You insulted him earlier.

Within the crowd of onlookers, Zhong Rong and Zheng Yu took a deep breath and stood out. They couldn't just sit back and watch Qi He be humiliated by Zha You.

"Zha You, you've gone too far. Apologize to Elder Xiang!" Zhong Rong and Zheng Yu said sternly with cold expressions.

"Heh, so it's you two. It seems you've grown bored with living and wish to make an enemy of our Noble Family?" Zha You stood his ground and scoffed at the three including Qi He.

"Let me tell you, I don't care about others, but as for these two women, Young Master Hao has taken a liking to them. Think carefully about whether you really want to meddle in this affair."

Su Qiong and her companions, coming back to their senses, grew increasingly nervous—it seemed that even the intervention of Elder Qi He might not be effective!

"I'll say it one last time, take your people and scram. I've taken these few under my protection, do you really want to force my hand?" Qi He said in a deep voice.

At Qi He's words, Zha You suddenly burst into loud laughter, "Hahaha, should I now refer to you as Elder Yiyang, threatening me, huh.

Dammit, just you try to make a move and see if I, Zha You, am really afraid of you!"

With that, Zha You assumed a stance, ready for a confrontation. If it had been Elder Wan Long and the others, he might have given them some face, but as for Qi He, he had never held him in high regard.

There hadn't been any previous incidents or conflicts, so he naturally didn't bother with him, but since Qi He had decided to wade into these muddy waters today, that was a different story—Qi He simply wasn't worthy of any face!

"Old fool, I advise you, this matter doesn't concern you. Leave now, and I can pretend nothing happened and won't take this against you!

Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face or a chance when you end up humiliated later!" Zha You warned with a sneer.

As he spoke, Zha You's followers all prepared for action, ready for a confrontation at any moment.

Qi He took a deep breath. Zha You's group was numerous and powerful, and each of them had strong Cultivation. If a conflict were to start, the three on his side might not gain the upper hand.

If he didn't rely on his identity as an Academy Elder, he really might not be able to withstand the pressure brought by the Noble Family!

Just as the standoff grew tense, a cool voice came through, "Zha You, if you're looking to fight, I'm willing to spar with you for a few rounds. Su Qiong and the others are my friends, and targeting them means going against me!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd turned their heads, only to see Wu Rao, the top beauty of the Tiger-Taming Academy, stepping forward.

Zha You saw the situation, and immediately frowned. He could disregard Qi He, just a trash instructor from the academy, whose backing was none other than the Qi Family of the Zhongnan Earth Pulse!

However, he had to take Wu Rao seriously, as she was a direct descendant of the Fourth Heavenly Vein family and had a very high Cultivation level. He was no match for her.

"Heh, very good, Scar, go invite Young Master Hao!" Zha You ordered his follower in a lukewarm tone.

Upon hearing this, Wu Rao's expression changed slightly; that Xiang Hao was not someone easy to deal with.

Qi He and the others also changed their expressions when they heard it. A person's reputation, like the shadow of a tree, Xiang Hao was extremely troublesome!

"Master, don't worry, even if Xiang Hao comes, he will have to give me some respect!" Wu Rao said indifferently.

Backed by the clout of the Fourth Heavenly Vein house, she still had some confidence and assurance.

"Old Qi, Sister Wu Rao, thank you!" Su Qiong tried to keep calm and quickly thanked everyone.

"No need to be polite, this is what I should do. I have promised Ling Fan, I will do my utmost to protect you!" Qi He said reassuringly.

"Mm-hmm, don't worry, with me here, I won't let anyone bully you!" Wu Rao also spoke up to comfort them.

However, her heart was a bit complicated; Ling Fan had not yet appeared, and she didn't know if something had happened to him.

"Damn, things are getting exciting, Zha You actually sent someone to invite Xiang Hao, that guy is very cruel, it might end up in a fight!" an older academy student said, a gulp audible in his throat, a hint of inexplicable fear in his eyes for Xiang Hao.

"Heh, it's really unexpected that these trash can cause such a commotion, even startling Xiang Hao out of the academy's 'secret chamber' where he's been in seclusion!" another person whispered.

"In my opinion, Elder Qi He and his disciples are going to get beaten. Xiang Hao's Cultivation level has long reached the standard of the Hidden Dragon Institute, but he has been deliberately not advancing. Even Goddess Wu Rao is no match for him!" yet another person chimed in.

"Humph, that guy is just a bully, relying on his status as being from the First Heavenly Vein Family, establishing a Noble Family in the Outer Court and gathering resources for his own Cultivation, damn it, of course he can Cultivate faster!" someone else muttered in annoyance.

"Heh, brother, don't be too upset, if you have the ability, you can also establish a faction and go against them.

Don't forget, the guy has an awesome brother, third on the Inner Academy Hidden Dragon List, the two coordinate with each other. Xiang Hao was bold enough to create a Noble Family with his brother's protection.

Gathering resources for both of their Cultivation, it's much more than what you'd get from the hardship of earning points in the academy and the awarded rewards!" another person said with a bitter smile and a shake of his head.

Not far away, Chao Liang and others, who were watching with cold eyes, were initially surprised to see Qi He and Wu Rao step in to mediate.

Especially Chao Liang, his brows furrowed tightly. If Qi He and the others resolved the matter, then his plans wouldn't work out so well.

Fortunately for him, Zha You from the Noble Family did not disappoint and actually went to ask Xiang Hao to come out of seclusion.

"Heh, this way is even better. The opportunity has come. In a while, I will use Xiang Hao as my stepping stone, his weight is still quite substantial!" Chao Liang laughed softly to himself and murmured in his heart.

"What exactly has happened that has disturbed me from my seclusion!" Suddenly, a loud and haughty voice echoed through the area.

Everyone's heart trembled, and they turned their heads to look at the source of the voice. They saw a well-built young man with a square face, thick eyebrows and an annoyed expression striding forward.

"Hao.... Young Master Hao is here..." Immediately, quite a few of the older academy students murmured tremblingly.
