Chapter 791: Shocking the City (3)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
However, considering that three years ago he had already earned the qualification of a fourth-year student at Hong Wu Academy and went to Qian City for further studies, it was understandable.
After all, three years ago, he had already outshone his peers and headed to Qian State City. After three years of cultivation at higher realm, no one knew his true strength.
On the arena, Zhao Yu didn’t care about any of this. Hearing that Xu Chang Qing was going to stand up for him, he didn’t hesitate to pick up all the remaining flags and happily accepted them.
Each of the four Silent Array Flags was engraved with numerous microscopic seal scripts.
Although the superbrain couldn’t a.n.a.lyze them immediately, given enough time, it might be able to figure out something.
This was a new type of technology beyond his technological civilization, which could even overturn Zhao Yu’s understanding of the entire universe, so he attached great importance to the Silent Array Flags.
After accepting them, he got a backpack from Zhuge Ying and pretended to put the flags into it, but threw them into his storage s.p.a.ce at the first opportunity, allowing the superbrain to scan and study them nonstop.
“Let’s go, let’s go…”
After handing the backpack to Zhao Yu, Zhuge Ying’s guardian was startled and hurriedly pulled him away.
The loss of the Wu family’s treasured heirloom was a sensational event in the entire Moon City.
Zhuge Ying’s guardian was afraid of getting involved and didn’t dare to stay long.
Others weren’t foolish either, clearly sensing an impending storm, and left quickly.
Although they left, they continued to pay attention to the situation, wanting to know the outcome.
On the other side, upon learning the news, the high-level elders of the Wu family mobilized on a large scale, directly initiating a first-level war state and dispatching numerous fighters toward Hong Wu Academy.
When the academy’s high-level officials heard the news, they quickly headed in the same direction.
Even though they weren’t afraid of the Wu family in MoonCity, the Wu family’s power couldn’t be underestimated.
But by the time they arrived, Xu Chang Qing had already started fighting the Wu family’s experts.
What surprised the academy’s high-level officials was that Xu Chang Qing had become even stronger than three years ago, actually holding his own against four opponents and gaining the upper hand.
Among those four were Wu Family Sequence One, the Wu family head, and two highly skilled elders.
Additionally, there were many Wu family experts on the sidelines.
Despite the loss of the Silent Array Flags, the Wu family, though enraged, didn’t lose their composure and didn’t dare act recklessly.
They feared being labeled as murder.
After all, in Moon City, not everything was monolithic, and there were plenty of people hoping to see the Wu family fall so they could take their place.
To retrieve the Silent Array Flags, sending four top experts to besiege Xu Chang Qing was already their limit; any more would be unfeasible.
“Stop!”
As the academy’s guards arrived after the officials, both sides stopped fighting.
Wu Fan looked at Xu Chang Qing with a serious expression and said coldly, “I didn’t expect that after three years, your strength has grown so much!”
Although he had antic.i.p.ated Xu Chang Qing’s increase in combat strength, he hadn’t expected it to be this exaggerated.
In this case, even using his treasured ultimate move might not guarantee a victory.
Deep down in his mind had already decided to revise his plans.
The Wu family head’s expression was even angrier. As the head of the first family in Moon City, it was already embarra.s.sing enough to join forces with three other family members to deal with one person.
Who would have thought that in afour-on-one situation, they would still be at a disadvantage?
He had planned to use speed to overpower, to subdue Xu Chang Qing quickly, and swiftly reclaim the Silent Array Flag to settle the matter peacefully.
But who could have expected that if theacademy high-ups hadn’t arrived, if the fight continued, their four-man team would have been defeated, and the Wu family’s reputation would have been utterly destroyed.
The academy officials didn’t say any empty words and directly began to meditate.
The Wu family claimed that the Silent Array Flags was their treasured heirloom and couldn’t be lost.
Xu Chang Qing stated that he was protecting Zhao Yu, and that he would report the Wu family’s attack on Zhao Yu to the Holy City.
Thus, the pressure shifted to Zhao Yu.
One of the academy leaders, who was clearly from the Wu family, stared at Zhao Yu, pressuring him, “Zhao Yu, there were no Silent Array Flag in your duel. Now that the match is over, you’ve received the Qi Gathering Ring, so return the Silent Array Flag.”
“No, these are my spoils of war!”
Zhao Yu still planned to study something from the flags, so how could he return them so easily?
Especially after watching Xu Chang Qing’s fight, he felt even more confident, believing that with Xu Chang Qing around, no one could harm him.
As Zhao Yu was so uncooperative, the Wu Family was a bit angry but had no choice, as Zhao Yu was a King Slayer Rank 5 fighter.
Finally, after some discussion, the three parties came to a solution.
“Since the Silent Array Flag was lost through a duel, let’s settle it through a duel…”
“If you want to redeem the flags, then send someone to fight me. Of course, it will be limited to second-tier fighters. As long as you place a corresponding bet, I’ll put up the Silent Array Flag. Defeat me, and you can take the flags!” Zhao Yu calmly said.
Seeing this, the Wu family had no choice but to agree.
The academy official, seeing the matter resolved, immediately began to disperse the crowd, driving both parties out of Hong Wu Academy.
As Zhao Yu was leaving the academy, he boldly spread the word.
“Anyone can place a corresponding bet to duel me for the Silent Array Flag. If you win and dare to face the Wu family’s wrath, the flags are yours!”
This declaration shocked the entire city.
