10 10—Divine Manifestation, Regulation No. 394
The pride of the heavens, pampered and cherished by everyone since birth.
At this very moment, he had actually been struck in public?
And right across the face?!
Someone swallowed hard, their instinctual reaction to the shock rendering them momentarily unable to process what they had just seen.
"My god..."
"She actually dared..."
"Su Fu! How dare you—!"
Shen Yunling’s roar was laced with unprecedented fury. The golden Buddhist radiance surrounding him shattered piece by piece, and an astonishing surge of divine power erupted from his body!
The crowd gasped in unison.
Three seconds. It took him only three seconds to break free from that terrifying control skill!
Su Fu remained indifferent, letting out a soft laugh. "Whether I dare or not..." She drew out the syllables, "haven't you already found out?"
This bastard had nearly killed her just a moment ago—did he really think she wouldn't dare strike back?
This remark completely ignited the last remnants of Shen Yunling's reason. A dense, cyan-colored divine power exploded from within him, and a wave of tangible energy swept through the entire classroom. The air shrieked, whipping up a violent gale!
In comparison, the faint, flickering cyan light on Su Fu looked like the difference between a lone firefly and the glorious moon.
"It's over, she’s dead for sure!"
Seeing the massive disparity, everyone’s hearts climbed into their throats. If Su Fu were hit, she would undoubtedly perish!
Just as the massive, coalesced arrow was about to pierce through Su Fu—
*Hum!*
Silver moonlight suddenly bloomed within the classroom! Two sacred phantoms emerged behind Jiang Qingyu, and the overwhelming pressure of Artemis and Hecate descended instantly!
Jiang Qingyu held a silver bow; silver light particles fell like starfire, transforming into a rain of countless sharp arrows that surged toward the golden giant arrow. At the moment of impact, the giant arrow began to dissipate from the point of contact...
However, at that very instant, another surge of divine power struck from the flank! Countless golden runes descended from the sky, transforming into a giant golden-winged eagle that slashed toward Shen Yunling, wrapped in the power of judgment!
"Eye of Ra!"
It was a divine manifestation from the Egyptian pantheon, the power of the Sun God Ra, containing the scorching heat of the blazing sun.
Only then did the crowd realize that the proctor, Jiang Yuqing, had made her move!
*Holy hell,* the onlookers were stunned. What was going on? Jiang Qingyu’s intervention was understandable, but how had Teacher Jiang arrived so opportunely?
"Damn it!"
With two distinct, conflicting surges of divine power closing in from both sides, Shen Yunling was forced to expend all his power to defend himself.
***
Su Fu, unharmed, stepped back and looked at Shen Yunling, arching an eyebrow. "Are you serious?"
"You didn't actually think I was stupid enough to go head-to-head with you, did you?"
As a newcomer to the ranks of the God-Blessed, those three moves had already exhausted most of her divine power. As for Shen Yunling, his energy remained abundant. Compete in divine power with a scion of a noble family trained since childhood? She wasn't that foolish.
So... naturally, she had to call for backup!
But wait—she had summoned Zhou Nanyuan, the inspector for the Lingxiao Invitation Program. Why was it Teacher Jiang who showed up?
Unless... Su Fu’s eyes narrowed.
Shen Yunling was pushed back step by step under the pincer attack, and Jiang Qingyu and Jiang Yuqing, realizing the gravity of the situation, immediately withdrew their power.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief; they had almost witnessed a death.
However, the next second—
"How did she get over there!" someone exclaimed.
Without anyone noticing, Su Fu had circled behind Shen Yunling! She held a nine-toothed rake high, aimed squarely at the back of Shen Yunling’s head!
Shen Yunling whipped his head around, his pupils contracting sharply.
"You're courting death!"
Golden lightning suddenly tore through the space! Lin Wenyu had arrived, and the power of the Greek pantheon erupted around him. The thunderous force of Zeus manifested as countless electric serpents, attempting to intercept Su Fu’s attack.
But it was too late.
The nine-toothed rake crashed down with crushing force!
Lin Wenyu’s expression shifted violently. "How dare you?!"
He pressed his palms together, and a brilliant golden light poured down from the horizon.
"Wrath of the Gods!"
A terrifying pressure instantly blanketed the entire space, causing the very air to stagnate. Thunder rolled, as if to grind everything into dust! If this struck Su Fu, she would certainly die!
At this critical juncture—
*Boom!*
An even more vast and boundless pressure descended!
All surges of divine power vanished instantly in the face of this force, just as all starlight dims when the full moon hangs in the sky. The space seemed to freeze. Everyone felt their breath catch, as if an invisible mountain were crushing their chests. The immense pressure made their knees weak, nearly forcing them to the floor.
In the void, a golden mandala slowly unfolded. It was a massive wheel of light, every intricate pattern imbued with supreme divine majesty. Esoteric Sanskrit characters flowed across the wheel, emitting a heart-stopping power.
***
Zhou Nanyuan stepped out from the void. Behind him, a massive manifestation of a deity loomed, flickering in and out of existence. It was from the top-tier Hindu pantheon—Vishnu!
"This is utter nonsense!"
Zhou Nanyuan’s face was dark as he scolded, "What do you all think you are doing?"
In the face of absolute power, everyone fell silent. Su Fu quietly tucked away her nine-toothed rake, wearing an innocent expression.
While the crowd remained outwardly quiet, their hearts were in turmoil. *Wait a minute—Su Fu had always been so unassuming, how had no one noticed she was this terrifyingly fierce?*
This was too intense. She had counter-attacked and beaten Shen Yunling, and even with the homeroom teacher present, she had still seized the chance to try and land a blow on his head...
Looking at Shen Yunling lying on the ground, his handsome face was swollen beyond recognition, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Pitiful."
How else could one describe it!
Seeing his most prized student beaten to such a state, Lin Wenyu’s expression was so dark it could drip ink. He stared coldly at Su Fu:
"Violating school rules, assaulting a classmate." He spoke every word with icy precision, "This matter will not be settled so easily..."
"You really do have quite the official air, Teacher Lin." Zhou Nanyuan’s gaze swept over, his eyes frigid. "Have you forgotten the regulations of the Ministry of Education?"
"That 'Wrath of the Gods' just now—had I not arrived in time, were you intending to execute a student on the spot?"
Lin Wenyu’s face turned pale, as if struck by lightning. "I, I was only..."
Zhou Nanyuan cut off his defense. "Lin Wenyu."
"According to Ministry of Education Regulation No. 394: Faculty members are strictly prohibited from using divine power above a danger threshold against students. Violators will be suspended immediately."
"I witnessed it with my own eyes; you violated the code."
"Based on the inspection records," Zhou Nanyuan said calmly, "effective immediately, you are suspended pending investigation."
"If you have any objections, you may file an appeal."
Lin Wenyu collapsed to the floor, nearly fainting on the spot. He looked at Su Fu’s expressionless face and finally understood.
From the very beginning, Su Fu’s target was never Shen Yunling.
She had been fishing!
As long as she attacked Shen Yunling, he would inevitably lose his composure and strike back. It had all been her calculation!
Inspectors held oversight power over all teachers in their jurisdiction, and being judged on the spot by Zhou Nanyuan meant—
He was finished!
