Someone spoke as he recognized Shen Liu. Everyone stared at Shen Liu, wondering why one of the best students had come here.
In the end, they didn't know about the betting matter between him and Jin. They thought he had come to help his cousin Tang, but this was strange, Tang was just from the branch family, and the main family won't protect him or care about him.
But today seemed to be the day of surprises, Shen Liu couldn't get the upper hand even when he attacked Jin with a sneak attack, he even dropped his sword as he retreated and looked at Jin with fear in his eyes while he coughed strangely as his face was turning blue, it seemed like he was unable to breathing.
"Du Bai, where is Jin's ball? Where did it disappear?" Han Seol asked while looking around her, trying to find the ball. Du Bai shrugged his shoulders telling her that he didn't know. The cloaked girl answered them with her hand pointing.
"It's there..."
The two of them turned to where the cloaked girl pointed, but they didn't see the spirit ball, they only saw Shen Liu coughing in a strange way and lost the color of his face. After a moment, they understood what she meant. Han Seol screamed in surprise.
"No way, don't tell me that Jin had put the ball inside Shen Liu's throat, he defeated him in one move … If he doesn't get the ball out, Shen Liu will die because he won't be able to breathe."
Du Bai replied to her words.
"Of course, he defeated him with one move; that is Jin. When he attacks someone with killing intent, No one will be able to stand up against him. His fight with others lasted so long because I convinced him not to kill them or else they would have met the same fate as Shen Liu; they would have died with one hit."
Du Bai wasn't lying. Jin was specialized in assassination, searching for his opponents' weaknesses, killing them with one hit, but now he was forbidden from killing his opponents, and because of that, all the killing techniques he learned became useless.
Since Shen Liu attacked Jin without warning and with intent to kill, Jin responded with his attack to kill him instantly as he inserted his ball after reducing it back to its small size in his opponent's throat, causing him to choke, no matter how strong Shen Liu was, he couldn't survive if he was unable to breathe.
No one could believe what was happening here. Jin's opponents were still falling one after the other. The difference in strength and levels meant nothing to the white-haired demon. Every move he made was deceptive, insane, and overwhelming.
He mixed tricks with magic and physical strength, from throwing his silver ball like a stone to crushing his opponent using physical force, magic spells, and traps, and finally putting his spirit ball in someone's throat. Anything in this demon's hand was a deadly weapon.
Five warriors in the soul realm have fallen in front of him, and the last of them was at the peak of the soul realm and about to break through to the law realm. As for the white-haired demon, he was only at the fourth level of the Evolution realm. If someone had told them what happened today, they would have called him a liar and a fool, but now they saw what happened with their eyes.
"Little Monroe, you have sent your dog to kill me but look at his situation now, and now you also tried to kill me with a sneak attack. Do you think you will be able to escape from my wrath?"
Shen Liu's state got worse, his face turned bluer, and his features turned ugly due to the tears flowing from his eyes and saliva coming out with his choking cough. The warrior ranked in the top 100 inside the academy fell on his knees with his hands touching the ground.
The lady who moved to Shen Liu's place started hitting his back hard, trying to help him get the ball out of his body while shouting at Jin.
"Jin stops this now. He's going to die like this."
"And what about the sword that he tried to stab in my chest a while ago? Was it a medal? The rules prohibit killing in challenges, but they do not prohibit killing in self-defense. I was only defending myself, and everyone here testifies to that."
Jin answered coldly and sarcastically. It was Shen Liu who attacked with killing intent first. Before that, he had sent Tang behind Jin's family. Shen Liu brought this to himself, and Jin won't have mercy on his enemies.
"Mr.Tai Jin, please pull your spirit ball from Young Master's throat."
A strong essence voice spoke. The owner of the voice had a majestic presence. It was the old man that Jin met in the village who wanted to take him as his follower. His name was Yang Shuo.
"Mr. Liu didn't ask Tang to do him a favor, his fault was that he said he made a stupid bet and would lose the cube if he lost to that fool, then Tang acted on his own."
Jin looked at the old man and said calmly, "You think that I am an idiot now? Why did he attack me then?"
"Master Liu came to stop his cousin from fighting with you, but he was surprised to see him paralyzed on the ground. Now tell me, Mister Jin, what would your reaction have been if you saw someone from your family in a similar situation? Please understand the situation and retrieve your spirit ball back."
Before Jin could utter a single word, Yang Shuo opened his hand, revealing the red cube, and handed it to him.
This old man served as Shen Liu's bodyguard and teacher, it seemed that he was watching the battle from afar and knew about Jin's spirit form.
If Shen Liu had died before Yang Shuo interfered, everyone would have testified that it was self-defense and that he attacked Jin without warning in an attempt to assassinate him.
But after this old man's words, Jin will appear as a bad man now. He made it look like Shen Liu was trying to save someone from his family. Yang Shuo was a smart old man. He turned public opinion in his favor. Even if Jin didn't care about their opinion, facing this old man now would not be easy. He might die.
'I hate people like him.' Jin muttered to himself and took the red cube from Yang Shuo's hand. The moment the red cube touched Jin's hand, the talisman stored inside Jin's Storage Ring shone with golden light for a second time, and for the second time, Jin didn't notice it.
Jin turned towards the noble kneeling on the ground and grabbed his lower jaw. "I don't know how to make Eunhwa disappear, she came directly from the spirit world, but I can ask her to come out from your throat."
Yang Shuo was wondering how could Jin form a spirit form in the evolution realm. Jin's words about summoning her from the spirit world answered his question, but it was an answer that for some reason didn't satisfy Yang Shuo.
With all his power and without warning, Jin pulled Shen Liu's jaw down.
*tack*
The sound of the jaw dislocating from its place was audible and gave everyone goosebumps, but the look of his mouth wide open was even more terrifying. The spirit ball came out from his mouth and floated in the air.
*tack*
In an instant and coldly, Jin returned Shen Liu's jaw to its place, it was true that he saved him from suffocation, but he purposely made the operation cruel and painful.
Jin turned to Eunhwa, her victim's saliva was still stuck on her.
"Eunhwa, you look a bit sloppy."
Eunhwa began to vibrate in her place, it seemed that his words did not please her and bothered her. So she wiped herself on Jin's clothes.
"Eunhwa, that's disgusting, stop," Jin said, trying to get her away from him.
"Eunhwa, it looks like our journey will end here. I'll see you again when I break into the soul realm."
Eunhwa made a musical note as if she was saying goodbye before she flew towards the spirit mirror and disappeared inside it.
Shen Liu breathed furiously, the color of his face began to recover. Then, when he could breathe normally, he started shouting at Jin angrily. "You damn bastard, I won't let you off the hook easily. I'll make sure you get expelled from the academy and get your family out of our land."
Jin smiled and looked at the old man.
"It seems that your young master doesn't understand his situation yet. If he threatens me with my family one more time, I will kill him in front of you."
Shen Liu at this moment was like a dog that barks without bites, just as Eunhwa had absorbed the energy from the hurricane before, she absorbed a large part of Shen Liu's qi energy, now he was barely able to stand on his feet, Jin can easily kill him right now.
Fortunately for Shen Liu, the old man stepped in and said,
"As far as I know, your family no longer lives on the green hill village, and no one knows where they are now except for you."
Hearing the old man talk, the mouths of the crowd almost touched the ground. Jin turned the world upside down because someone dared to threaten his family, but in the end, it turned out that they were in a place that no one other than him knew.
"Wait… since his family was safe from the start, why did he cause all this chaos?" Han Seol spoke, her eyes widening, staring at Du Bai, hoping to hear the answer from Jin's friend. Du Bai answered calmly as he looked into her eyes.
"Even if his family was safe for now, you can't guarantee what will happen in the future. That's Jin. Even thinking about harming those who are close to him is taboo. They got what they deserve for provoking a crazy person like him."
Du Bai actually hid something from Han Seol. He was sure that Jin would try to kill them all later. He wouldn't let a hidden threat to his life or his family.
Zi Yun sighed, who felt that the matter took so long, not to mention the test that had been interrupted. She turned to the old man and asked him to take Shen Liu away and said.
"Jin summoned his spirit form from the spirit world, you know what that means, so I don't need to explain it further to you, take Shen Liu away and explain the situation to him."
