Chapter 314 Wang Qingyun causes trouble! I'll protect this kid!
Wang Qingyun walked leisurely through the crowd.
His relaxed demeanor was completely out of place with the tense atmosphere.
But as soon as he stepped forward, all the martial arts instructors who had rushed over to maintain order unconsciously took a half step back.
The judge's face was so dark it could drip water.
"Wang Qingyun".
He forced out three words.
"This is the duty of the Lamplighter. We've detected a top-level energy alert and must take the suspect back for investigation."
"Suspect?"
Wang Qingyun screwed the lid on the thermos and turned to look at Chen Yifan, who was dusting himself off beside her.
"Your detection equipment went off, so you just randomly arrest people on the street? Do you have any evidence?"
"The intensity of that beam of light, and the signs of its eventual collapse, could not possibly have been caused by someone of Lu Changyuan's level!"
The judge pointed to the large hole in the barrier in the sky that was not yet fully closed, speaking very quickly.
"I've also seen records of the miniature nuclear-powered heart he has. To completely destroy it, intervention beyond the conventional system would be necessary!"
After hearing this, Wang Qingyun burst out laughing.
He laughed so hard he coughed, and it took him a while to recover. He pointed at Chen Yifan and gestured with his chin towards the judge.
"Little Li, you really dare to dream. You mean, this freshman, just out of the Tower of Ascension, before he could even catch his breath, directly tore apart the contingency plan left by the Chief Inquisitor of the Council of Order right in front of you?"
The judge clenched his teeth, stubbornly refusing to back down:
"This is unusual; he must cooperate with the investigation!"
"Cooperate my ass!"
The smile on Wang Qingyun's face vanished instantly, and the thermos flask crashed heavily onto the edge of the flower bed next to her.
The stone bricks shattered into powder on the spot.
An undisguised burst of violent energy erupted from his body, forcing the lamplighters behind the judge to take several steps back.
"Are you, the Lamp Bearers, now handling cases based entirely on 'my feeling'? Did the machine detect any external forces emanating from him? No! Did anyone witness him using illegal power? No! There were hundreds of students present, and even the student council president testified that it was the Council of Order who caused the trouble, yet you insist on focusing on just one student."
Wang Qingyun took a step forward, almost touching the judge's nose.
"What, you think this kid is easy to bully because he's a freshman with no connections? Come on, if you dare lay a finger on him today, I'll tear your black skin off along with your bones."
The judge's forehead veins throbbed violently.
He stared intently at Wang Qingyun, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
The two remained locked in a stalemate for a full half minute.
"it is good."
The judge took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his frustration.
"I'll let him go today because of you. But I'll issue a city-wide warrant for Lu Changyuan's arrest. Once we bring the people from the Council of Order back, the truth will naturally come out."
Wang Qingyun waved his hand, looking impatient: "Catch whoever you want, don't get in my way."
The judge turned his head and stared intently at Chen Yifan.
"You better pray that what happened today really has nothing to do with you. Don't give me any leverage."
Chen Yifan shrugged, looking completely honest and unassuming.
"Take care, sir. I wish you a speedy resolution to the case."
The judge snorted coldly, turned around and waved his hand, leading several of his lamp-bearers into the sky, chasing after the all-black SUV in the direction it had fled.
When the director of the academic affairs office saw that the lamp bearers had left, he didn't dare to offend Wang Qingyun. He casually shouted a few words like "strengthen security" and "repair the barrier" before hurriedly leaving with a few tutors.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the students who had been watching began to disperse in twos and threes.
Xiao Zhan clutched his chest and leaned closer.
"Junior Chen, thank you for today." He gave a wry smile, looked at the broken sword in his hand, "If you hadn't held Lu Changyuan back, I'd probably be lying in the school hospital by now."
Chen Yifan narrowed his eyes.
Pack!
Keep pretending!
He was able to firmly hold the top position as president of the student union.
Those who have conquered the seventy-two floors of the Tower of Ascension.
Is he a useless piece of trash with no ability?
This is not the student council of his original world.
In this world, the president of a university student union holds a status and position that surpasses that of all university teachers.
It can be said that, apart from the principal, he is truly second only to one person!
but……
Since you're willing to pretend!
He did not choose to expose it.
So Chen Yifan quickly waved his hand:
"Senior, please don't flatter me. I was just lucky. The tin man suffered a backlash on his own, it had nothing to do with me."
Xiao Zhan didn't reply, but just gave Chen Yifan a deep look.
"If you encounter any trouble at school in the future, feel free to come to the student council."
After saying that, he walked away with a limp, supported by Liu Yan.
Wang Fugui finally squeezed to the front, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and lowered his voice:
"Fanzi, you really didn't do it?"
"Fatty, your imagination has really gotten better lately," Chen Yifan patted him on the shoulder. "Go back and wash up and get some sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow to grab a training room."
After sending Wang Fugui away, Chen Yifan turned around.
Wang Qingyun was leaning against a lamppost that was still intact, slowly sipping goji berry water.
"Uncle Wang, thank you so much for getting me out of that situation today," Chen Yifan said as he walked over.
Wang Qingyun glanced at him sideways.
"Alright, stop with the nonsense. You crushed Lu Changyuan's core with your bare hands, didn't you?"
Chen Yifan, without batting an eye, said, "Sir, it really wasn't. That thing just overheated and exploded."
Wang Qingyun put down the thermos, not intending to dwell on the matter any further.
"No matter how it happened, you've been making headlines lately. A rating of level 20 in the Extreme Realm—that's a one-of-a-kind achievement in the entire Dragon Kingdom. That reward you got for clearing the level probably isn't as simple as it seems."
Chen Yifan's heart skipped a beat, but his face still wore that innocent expression: "They only gave me some experience and a few pieces of junk equipment, nothing else."
"Keep pretending."
Wang Qingyun sneered.
"For a mad dog like Lu Changyuan to come all this way to block the door, that thing must be a treasure that the Council of Order has been eyeing for a long time. I don't care what you got, hide it well and don't let a word slip."
"Don't worry too much about the Lamplighters. Those guys are stubborn, but they value evidence. As long as you don't mutate in front of them, they can't do anything to you. The real trouble is the Council of Order."
Wang Qingyun rarely gets serious.
"That old bastard Lu Ting is an extreme biased protector. His son suffered such a huge loss at Wuhan University today, even losing his Origin Core. This is definitely not over. For the time being, you don't go anywhere except the school."
Chen Yifan nodded and noted it down.
"Thanks, Uncle Wang."
"Don't thank me yet. I'm protecting you because I like you."
Wang Qingyun leaned closer, his voice extremely low.
"But I have to warn you. I can sense the changes in you. No matter which path you choose, don't turn yourself into a monster. If you really get to that point, I'll be the first one to kill you."
Leaving those words behind, Wang Qingyun, wearing flip-flops, sauntered into the night.
Chen Yifan looked at the old man's back and pursed his lips.
The old man's senses are indeed sharp.
However, this also confirms one thing: after fusing with that fragment of the world's core, his heretical power was hidden extremely well.
Even Wang Qingyun, a former top figure, could only sense the change and could not accurately locate the external Dao Heart Palace within his body.
Back to dormitory 404.
Wang Fugui had already put on his helmet and entered the simulated battle network to be brutally tortured.
Chen Yifan closed the door, activated the soundproof barrier of the dormitory, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
He closed his eyes impatiently, his consciousness sinking directly into his heart.
When he entered, the scene inside stunned him.
The palace, which had previously been barely discernible, was now crystal clear.
Twelve thick black stone pillars support the dome, each pillar carved with intricate patterns.
The spiritual energy floating in the air was so dense that it almost condensed into water droplets.
Even more outrageous, in the very center of the palace, there was a transparent ball of light that was constantly changing shape.
This is the original body of that fragment of the world's core.
All energy absorbed from the outside world, including the psionic energy of the World Engine, will be instantly stripped of its hidden rules and transformed into the purest external power once it is baptized by this light.
Not only that.
With a thought, Chen Yifan brought up his personal panel.
Occupation: None (cannot be detected)
Level: Lv.45
……
Talents: [Steal All Things], [Swiftness], [Return of All Thoughts], [Hand Speed Boost]...
Special Status: [Rule-Based Occlusion] (Current Progress: 1%)
The newly added "rule-based occlusion" status caught his eye.
By fusing a fragment the size of a fingernail, 1% of the concealment progress was achieved.
It was this 1% that allowed him to release his heretical power in full view of everyone, directly extinguishing Lu Ting's Gaze of Truth, without any of the Cleaners' alarms sounding.
What if we could collect all the remaining fragments and reach 100%?
Wouldn't that allow them to completely disappear from this civilized farm that's been put into captivity, or even turn the tables and become the main players?
No wonder so many people are interested in this thing!
Chen Yifan opened his eyes, in a great mood.
This deal was incredibly profitable.
Just as he was preparing to further test whether [Stealing All Things] had undergone any new changes after being enhanced in the Heart Palace, his personal terminal suddenly vibrated.
It was an encrypted text message without a sender's number.
He had seen this level of encryption in the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce's intelligence network.
Chen Yifan turned on the light screen.
The text above was only one line long, but it made him sit up straight instantly.
"Jiangcheng, Third Hospital, your sister is in trouble. Return immediately."
Chen Yifan stared at the words on the light screen, and the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly dropped.
He suddenly stood up, his fingers unconsciously clenching.
Chen Xue.
His younger sister, whom he had always paid a lot of money to place in the best hospital in Jiangcheng and receive special protection.
Who dares to touch her?
Li Yuantu is dead, and the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce is now in a cooperative relationship.
This sudden news could not possibly be unfounded.
Chen Yifan's eyes grew increasingly cold.
Whoever it is.
Anyone who tries to harm me should be prepared to be uprooted.
He pushed open the dormitory door and walked into the shadows of the corridor without hesitation.
Less than half a minute after he left, his personal terminal lit up again, displaying a screenshot of real-time monitoring from Jiangcheng Third Hospital.
In the video, several men wearing loose white coats and faceless masks are pushing a closed medical cart and swaggering into the hospital's underground parking garage.
On the chest of the white robe, a circle of interconnected tentacle totems was embroidered in dark red silk thread.
That is a sign of blood ties.
