The Wuyi Students were stunned to see Director Liu and the councilman get shot. Their first reaction was to find the gunman's position or seek cover.
With their attention focused on the attack, they were completely blindsided when the Maka Students suddenly charged outward. They couldn't fathom their actions. Although they had their suspicions, without a clear understanding of the situation, most chose to simply get out of the way.
The moment the shot rang out, Chen Chuan spun around to locate the gunman. At that same instant, however, a figure blurred, and Qiu Chengzu, who was standing nearby, ferociously charged at him.
Chen Chuan simply raised a hand to block. Before Qiu Chengzu even knew what was happening, he was sent stumbling backward, a voice remarking in his ear, "This isn't the time for sparring."
