Super War God in the City

At the sight of the academy head's offer, everyone in the hall was left dumbstruck, with expressions riddled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Did... Did I just hallucinate? Did the head of the academy just try to recruit this guy? And forgive his past misdeeds?

Shouldn't this arrogant fool be struck down and killed? He killed Elder Liang Dang, and just like that, they're letting him off?" Elder Wan Long felt his brain spinning, bombarded with questions.

The veteran students remained silent, their hearts filled with indescribable complexity; these words from the head of the academy signified that he valued the talent. All it would take was a nod from Ling Fan, and from then on, he would walk sideways in the academy.

Xiang Hao, who had just calmed his mind a bit, became anxious again, feeling his heart like a bungee, soaring and plummeting — as if not killed by Ling Fan, he might die of a heart attack from shock instead.

Originally hoping for the head of the academy to exert his authority, he never expected the head to have a whimsical moment and consider taking this man as his closed-door disciple.

By then, if this madman insists on having his way, who knows which side the head would stand on!

However, seeing the way the head had saved his elder brother just now, he probably wouldn't stand by and watch himself get killed!

"How... How could this happen?" Kong Yin muttered to himself, somewhat unable to accept it.

At the moment of the head's arrival, these new students from the Secular World were incredibly thrilled, as if they had seen the first light of dawn in an endless night — the dawn that would kill Ling Fan.

But as idealistic as they had been, reality was harsh. They didn't witness the head's rage but the olive branch they least wanted to see, meaning their hope for revenge was lost.

Tao Yang tasted bitterness in his mouth, giving a wry smile helplessly, "No one should oppose him anymore. With such an exceptional talent, it's understandable that the head favors him. From now on in Zhongnan Academy, probably no one can shake him the slightest bit!"

Jiang Wen's expression was ugly, but he had to admit that what Tao Yang had said was true. Although reluctant, Ling Fan's displayed talent was indeed enough to make the head break various rules for him!

Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu showed expressions of joy. Just a moment ago, they were worried for Ling Fan at the arrival of the head of the academy, but unexpectedly, he not only forgave past grievances but even wanted to take Ling Fan as his closed-door disciple.

"So, when a person reaches a certain level of excellence, any convention can be broken.

Even if he killed an elder of the academy, he would be pardoned. This is true excellence, incomparable to the likes of Chao Liang!" Su Qiong muttered to herself.

At that moment, she gained a deeper understanding and enlightenment of the true nature of power — when strength reaches a towering level, it can truly break all bounds.

Zhong Rong and Zheng Yu were in emotional turmoil, feeling as if they were floating in mid-air, never touching the ground, and their minds were still in a daze.

Wu Rao bit her lip, her expression complicated and unclear. She had pondered many possible outcomes, but never had she imagined that the head would administer justice beyond the law and actually try to recruit him.

Only at this moment did she realize that Ling Fan's excellence was enough to make the head of the academy overlook the rules.

What is excellence, and what is breathtaking talent?

Killing Chao Liang, Elder Liang Dang, and Xiang Luo, the third on the Dragon List, no matter who, be it a genius or an academy elder, in front of Ling Fan they can be killed with a single sword. That is the true genius, true excellence!

Previously, she thought Chao Liang was excellent, but that was because she had no comparison and had not seen someone more distinguished — now she had.

Looking back at Chao Liang, she realized that compared to Ling Fan, he was just a minor witch seeing a great one!

"Hahaha, boss is powerful, damn, this is so damn satisfying. The head of the academy himself came to recruit the boss, my god, I want to see who dares to show off now!" Jiang Shi laughed loudly.

"Right, boss killing those damn trash was like cleaning the house for the academy. I think the head should commend the boss!" Fan Zhan grinned and chuckled.

The surrounding people remained silent, now that Ling Fan's faction was strong and standing tall. Even if they had grievances, they dared not show them.

"Ling Fan, what are you standing around for? Go and thank the head of the academy already. The head has never taken disciples before, especially not a closed-door one!" Qi He was excited!

How could he not be thrilled? This was a new student he had recruited. He had been worried about how Ling Fan would manage things, but now, with the Academy Head forgiving past grievances, this was the best opportunity for all to rejoice!

In everyone's eyes, as long as Ling Fan wasn't a fool, he definitely would agree by nodding.

However, Official Ling's thinking always seemed to deviate from everyone else's paths.

Ling Fan didn't pay heed to Qi He's well-meaning reminder, and instead looked toward the middle-aged man in front of him.

Curiously, he asked, "I'm quite curious, you were already here when I fought Elder Liang. Why didn't you step forward when I was killing him?

But when I was about to kill Xiang Luo, you chose to intervene!"

Hearing this, everybody was shocked again, looking towards the Academy Head with mutual surprise.

Nobody expected the Academy Head to have appeared during Ling Fan's killing of Liang Dang and that he had not intervened to save him!

The crowd was also curious. The Academy Head, with his hands clasped behind his back, looked at Ling Fan with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "You could detect me?"

He couldn't help being amazed. His technique in invisibility was quite adept, so much so that even the strong warriors from the Five Peaks Noble House could hardly notice him.

Unexpectedly, this young man managed to detect his presence, indicating this guy was more of a monster than he had imagined!

"Heh, it's just a simple invisibility technique, something any Ninja would know. What's the big fuss!" Ling Fan chuckled lightly.

"Ninja? Are you referring to the Ninja Families of Dongying? I have read about them in the archives. I heard that Ninjutsu has a long history in Dongying.

However, it should have died out by now, and even if it exists, I doubt they have much real skill!" the Academy Head mumbled to himself.

Hearing this, Ling Fan laughed inwardly, realizing that these Zhongnan folks were really out of touch.

After the rise of firearms, they shrank into isolation, oblivious to the world outside, thinking they were the only inheritors of Martial Arts?

But Official Ling was too lazy to argue with these people and impatiently said, "You still haven't answered my question. If you don't want to talk, just step aside. Don't delay my business!"

The middle-aged man was somewhat displeased with Ling Fan's attitude, but thinking of the guy's talent, he let it go.

Geniuses do have their pride, especially monsters like Ling Fan, it was no wonder he was so irritable and had successively killed several important figures of the academy.

If he had not intervened, Xiang Luo would have definitely been killed, and then it would have been difficult for him to explain things to the Xiang Family!

Under the expectant eyes of the crowd, the Academy Head pondered for a moment before speaking, "Previously, Liang Dang attacked you out of selfish motives. Given your talent, it was possible to grant you leniency outside the law.

Since we have already lost Chao Liang, we definitely shouldn't lose you too. Liang Dang acted out of self-interest, disregarding the broader interests of the academy and violated norms by taking action against you.

Even if you hadn't killed him, I would have intervened. As for Xiang Luo, as I mentioned before, you cannot kill him. Even if you have grievances, it isn't to the extent of life and death!"

Listeners suddenly understood. They had wondered why the Academy Head, despite being present earlier, didn't save Liang Dang!

It turns out that when Ling Fan killed Chao Liang, the Academy Head had already decided to protect this talented individual!

Upon hearing this, Ling Fan nodded slightly, "I see. However, today I don't intend to give you face. Step aside. The person I intend to kill today cannot be saved by anyone, not even you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd was in an uproar!
