76 -58: Intimidation
Roar!
With a furious roar, Lanling’s muscles swelled tremendously, and a terrifying strength burst out from within him, forcefully resisting the oppression of the Confinement Talisman.
“Strong, huh?” Zhang Yu slowly walked up to Lan Lanling, watching as the opponent’s blood and energy boiled, gradually breaking free from the Confinement Talisman.
Zhang Yu shook the talismanic book marked with the Inspection Department’s emblem, smiling: “The Inspection Department acts under divine sanction.
Do you want to resist? novelbuddy.cσ๓
To go against the divine?”
Seeing the talismanic book of the Inspection Department, Lanling’s eyes suddenly focused, a hint of disbelief flashing through them: “Did this poor guy join the Inspection Department?”
The next moment, he broke the Confinement Talisman on his body with a loud noise but didn’t move rashly.
Instead, he looked at Zhang Yu with an examining gaze, as if re-evaluating him.
And seeing that Lanling was no longer fighting, Zhang Yu gave Bai Zhenzhen nearby a smug smile, secretly thinking, “I must have been incredibly cool today.”
Bai Zhenzhen stared intently at the talismanic book in Zhang Yu’s hand, thinking, “Where did Yu Zi pick up that talismanic book?
…
I must borrow it to play.”
Everyone else watched Zhang Yu appear suddenly, using a single Confinement Talisman to repel Lanling, and they all showed faces of amazement.
He Dayou looked at this scene with some disbelief: “How did Zhang Yu get into a divine power department?”
Zhao Tianxing felt both tense and scared: “Zhang Yu actually bought a talismanic book?
Did he take a leave today to pawn his organs?”
But the next moment, he shook his head vigorously, ashamed of his own thoughts.
“Is now really the time to worry about this?
Why did Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen get into a conflict with the senior from the second year?
That’s the real trouble.”
Even so, Zhao Tianxing couldn’t help showing a bit of envy towards Zhang Yu, and a thought surfaced uncontrollably in his mind: Being so direct and confronting a senior head-on…
it’s kind of badass.
Qian Shen, staring at the talismanic book in Zhang Yu’s hand, was shocked: “Zhang Yu’s Daoism exam scores are going to skyrocket!”
As Zhang Yu and Lanling locked eyes and the atmosphere grew more tense, the temperature of the entire Training Field suddenly began to drop.
Lanling, who was still highly active just now, started emitting a cloud of white mist due to the temperature difference.
He glanced at Zhang Yu, coldly snorted, then slowly retreated, turning to look towards the entrance.
“President.”
Everyone looked in the direction he spoke to.
Accompanied by footsteps, Zhou Chechen walked in slowly over ice underfoot.
Zhou Chechen, the vice president of the Student Council, spoke as a student representative during the opening ceremony and appeared on the big screen and in broadcasts every month thanks to his excellent achievements.
He was truly a student among students, a senior among seniors.
His appearance silenced everyone present.
He Dayou was the first to react, bowing to Zhou Chechen, “Hello, Senior.”
It was as though a switch had been flipped, and almost all the first-year students bowed together, saying, “Hello, Senior.”
On the other hand, the second-year students also bowed, shouting, “Hello, President.”
Nominally the vice president of the Student Council, Zhou Chechen effectively made decisions for the Student Council because the president, a third-year, was busy preparing for college entrance exams.
Be it in terms of ability, grades, wealth, or authority…he was the uncrowned king of the school.
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhou Chechen as if they were seeing a king accepting homage, and they were the only students present who didn’t bow their heads.
Zhou Chechen didn’t immediately talk to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen but instead looked at the second-year students present, surrounded by an increasingly heavy frost.
“Shuang Youpeng, you were the top scorer in both theory and practice in your first year.
What do you think of the sparring between Bai Zhenzhen and Lanling just now?”
From behind the gathered second-year students, a relatively smaller second-year student emerged.
Under the eyes of everyone, he seemed unsure where to place his hands, occasionally fiddling with his hair or ears, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Zhou Chechen.
Carefully, he said, “Overconfident, arrogant, unaware of the difference between oneself and the enemy.”
Seeing Shuang Youpeng’s subservient demeanor, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen felt as if they were watching a dog wagging its tail in front of Zhou Chechen.
Shuang Youpeng, once the top scorer in his first year, now showed no trace of his past confidence.
Zhou Chechen nodded slightly, saying, “I think this year’s first-years aren’t as tactically smart as you were back then.”
Shuang Youpeng quickly waved his hands and said, “You’re too kind, President, too kind.”
Zhou Chechen turned his head towards the first-year students and casually asked, “Have you thanked your senior for his guidance?”
The first-year students immediately bowed and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”
In that instant, Zhou Chechen seemed to become the center of attention, captivating all the students with every move, every word, and every glance.
Only then did Zhou Chechen finally properly address Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, saying calmly, “Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen and Lanling were having a normal teaching spar.
Why did you attack the senior with a Confinement Talisman?”
As he spoke, he slowly raised his palm, from which icy blue cold air appeared, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet once more.
Zhou Chechen continued, “Using a Confinement Talisman at school and showing such disrespect to seniors is intolerable for me, the vice president of Songyang High School’s Student Council.”
Zhang Yu shifted his gaze and picked up the talismanic book in his hand, saying, “Zhou Chechen, are you going to attack an Inspection Department’s Divine Assistant?”
Zhou Chechen’s eyelids lowered slightly, his lips curling into what seemed like a smile.
In his eyes, the Heavenly Eye Talisman had already displayed the appraisal above Zhang Yu’s head.
Songyang City Inspection Team Outsourcing Staff (View Details)
“A mere outsourcing position in the Inspection Team, a trivial title, dares to run wild at Songyang High School?”
As the cold around Zhou Chechen’s palm was about to explode, warm air suddenly blew in from all directions, dispersing the chill and restoring the temperature to normal.
Zhang Pianpian and another man walked into the Training Field together from outside the door.
“You want to attack my part-time worker?”
Zhou Chechen quickly turned his head, and when he saw Zhang Pianpian’s face, his gaze focused: “Zhang Pianpian?
Why is she here?
Is she here to back Zhang Yu?”
“Zhang Pianpian?
Zhang Yu?
They both have the last name Zhang…
are they relatives?”
However, Zhou Chechen remembered checking Zhang Yu’s background and was sure he didn’t have such powerful relatives.
If Zhang Yu really had such a powerful family backing him, it wouldn’t have been so easy to handle him.
Zhou Chechen then thought, “Or did Zhang Yu find a new patron willing to pay more, already becoming Zhang Pianpian’s minion?”
Seeing the cold air in Zhou Chechen’s hand still not dispersed, Zhang Pianpian continued to walk step by step toward the central position of the field: “Hmm?
Didn’t you hear what I said?”
“Or…
do you want to be my enemy?”
As Zhang Pianpian spoke, her right index finger gently lifted, and the talismanic book naturally flew to her fingertip.
In the next moment, Zhang Pianpian’s fingertips were swiftly drawing across the talismanic book.
Bai Zhenzhen watched this scene in surprise, her gaze sweeping across the school uniform on Zhang Pianpian: “From White Dragon High School?
What’s she doing?
Is she going to fight Zhou Chechen?”
Zhang Yu was also taken aback: “Going straight for a fight?
What talisman will she use?
Is it also a Confinement Talisman?”
As everyone watched nervously, Zhang Pianpian finished drawing her talisman, releasing a wave of mana from within.
Intimidation Talisman—Activated!
Two lines of text abruptly appeared above Zhang Pianpian’s head.
The first line said:
White Dragon High School Third-Year Monthly Exam Total Score: 699
The many students watching this score were instantly wide-eyed, plunged into deep shock.
“Third-year monthly exam, 699 points?” Qian Shen internally screamed: “This is a god!
The future god of college entrance exams!”
Before everyone could fully process the shock from this score, the second line of text above Zhang Pianpian’s head also began to appear.
Bank Balance: 2
It started with just a 2, but soon a 5 appeared after the 2.
With each passing second after that, another digit appeared.
Two hundred fifty thousand?
Two million five hundred thousand?
Twenty-five million?!
When the number reached two hundred fifty million, the students present began to feel slightly breathless.
The students gradually realized what talisman Zhang Pianpian had used.
The Intimidation Talisman, a talisman that requests divine power to reveal scores and savings to intimidate others.
When the number hit twenty-five billion, coupled with the previous 699 points, everyone felt an overwhelming pressure suffocating them like a mountain pressing on their chests.
This was merely the bank balance!
The assets and immortal power this number represented stirred their hearts.
Even He Dayou couldn’t help but shiver internally upon seeing this number: “Just a bank balance of 25 billion?
What level of total assets does this woman possess?”
He couldn’t resist taking out his talismanic book, activating the Heavenly Eye Talisman to check her details.
But all he saw was five big characters above her head.
You are not worthy to know
She had concealed her background using a talisman, rendering him unable to view any information.
Seeing these five characters, He Dayou’s body shuddered, his face turned pale, as if struck by lightning, as if seeing a chasm between him and Zhang Pianpian, one he could never cross.
Zhao Tianxing stared intensely at the string of numbers above Zhang Pianpian’s head, counting over and over, but always felt he miscounted halfway through.
When he finally confirmed it to be 25 billion, he couldn’t help but gasp.
“So much money, it’s just too much money, the pressure of wealth is really strong!!”
At that moment, Zhao Tianxing felt utterly inferior, feeling unworthy even to stand in the same room as her.
Zhang Yu was equally stunned; was this my wealthy sister?
“No way, I don’t remember our family being rich?”
“It should be said we were actually poor, so…how did Zhang Pianpian get so much money?”
“Something’s off… this feels really off…”
“What on earth did Zhang Pianpian and Zhang Yu experience during their time apart?”
The questions that had lingered since the Divine Assistant assessment reached a peak at this moment.
“How did she go from being poor to being a billionaire?”
“I… want to learn that too.”
Zhang Yu couldn’t understand the reasons, but whatever it was… sister, why did you leave us?
Mom and I are your real family!
Meanwhile, Zhou Chechen slowly dispersed the cold air from his hand.
His gaze subtly swept over the scores and balance above the opponent’s head and the ‘you are not worthy to know’.
Finally, he looked courteously at Zhang Pianpian and said, “Senior Sister Zhang, you misunderstood.
I didn’t know Zhang Yu was under your wing.
Had I known, I wouldn’t have troubled him?”
Seeing her single Intimidation Talisman subdue everyone present, Zhang Pianpian nodded in satisfaction, saying, “Good, I hope you remember what you said today.”
“Don’t let me hear about anything unfavorable to my subordinate, or I’ll use the pocket money above my head to purchase your brain.”
“I’m sure your dad would be happy to earn that money.”
Upon hearing these words, Zhou Chechen’s eye twitched, momentarily rendered speechless.
And just as the scene fell silent following Zhang Pianpian’s remarks, the man who had just walked in with her laughed and said, “Pian Pian is just joking, Junior Zhou, don’t take it to heart.”
The man speaking was indeed Chu Chengxuan, the top student of Songyang High School’s third-year, and the true president of the Student Council.
