The people Guo Ran named were all renowned geniuses within the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy. Although they were not as famous as the Four Talents of Tianlong, almost every disciple knew them.
They were all Wang Zixu's right-hand men. Guo Ran was calling out their names at this moment—was he going to completely purge Wang Zixu's old subordinates?
"Guo Ran, what do you mean? Just becoming acting dean, and now you want to use your power for personal gain and eliminate dissenters—is this meant for the entire Tianlong Divine Armor Academy to become your one-man domain? An elder of the council couldn't help but shout.
Guo Ran snorted coldly, "If I really want to abuse my power for personal gain, I'll just drag Xie Liuer and Leng Hui out and get rid of them right away. Besides Wang Zixu, the ones I hate most are them." Xie
Liuer and Leng Hui's faces turned pale. They understood that they had bullied Guo Ran too hard before, and Guo Ran held a grudge against him.
"But the path of cultivation is inherently a place where everyone fights for it. Limited resources naturally get fought over by everyone. It's a kind of competition—winner takes all, and the loser has no right to complain.
Although they suppress me and oppose me in every way, they only target me personally. Whatever happens, they do it openly. Although I dislike them, I have no reason to kill them.
But the people I just named are accomplices to the tiger. Over the past year or so, they have done countless evil deeds alongside Wang Zixu. Each of you has been stained with the blood of other disciples.
Do you really think that just because you follow Wang Zixu, you can feel at ease and that nothing happened? I tell you, you reap what you sow. Now is the day of reckoning. If you don't come out to die, when else? Guo Ran shouted sternly.
For a moment, everyone turned to look at the group, noticing that each of them trembled in an instant, their eyes filled with fear.
"Thud, thud...
all of them suddenly knelt down, and one shouted, "Director Guo Ran, we've been controlled by Wang Zixu and have done many bad things for him. We don't deny that."
We know our sins are heavy and irredeeming, but I hope you will give us a chance—let us die on the battlefield.
We are willing to lead by example, charge into the beast army, and let us do our last to serve Tianlong Divine Armor Academy to repay the kindness of its nurturing. After
the man finished speaking, everyone was moved. These people were the elite of the elite, and killing them like that was truly a pity.
If what they said was true, and they had repented and died in such a way, they would still be remarkable. Many people nodded in agreement, admitting their mistakes and correcting themselves. People could accept their return, since these were extraordinary times—we couldn't stick to old ways and needed flexibility.
"Dream on. In life, there are some boundaries you absolutely must never cross. Once you do, you have to pay the price—there's no room for negotiation."
You want to redeem yourself and save your own life—how could such good fortune exist in this world? Guo Ran snorted coldly.
Hearing Guo Ran refuse, the man angrily said, "In life, who can be without mistakes?" We believed Wang Zixu and went astray. As the acting director, don't you have any chance at all? Have you never missed it? Guo
Ran scoffed, "That's your own fool. What does it have to do with Wang Zixu?" Blaming a dead person to excuse oneself is itself a cowardly act.
You don't know how to judge people; you're blind yourself, always listening to Wang Zixu. So what's the use of your head?
I, Guo Ran, am from the Dragonblood Legion. Even my boss, the highest leader of the Dragonblood Legion, once said:
'If one day I go astray and slaughter innocent and good people, and you have no strength to persuade me to turn back, don't hesitate. While I still trust you, strike behind my back and kill me.'
Don't feel guilty or sad. If you really can't bear to let go, you can go down with me. In the next life, we'll be brothers again.
As soon as
Guo Ran said this, everyone present was deeply moved. Even the usually calm-faced old dean's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and everyone's gaze turned to Long Chen.
For a peerless expert to say such things is truly astonishing. Isn't it said that true powerhouses are absolutely confident in themselves? How could he doubt himself?
"You are you, we are us. The academy has spent endless effort nurturing us. Is the academy really going to kill us like this?" Don't you know how to adapt?
If we die on the battlefield, we can reduce casualties among the disciples of the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy. We don't want to make amends for our mistakes, but only want to use our last life to repay the academy. Isn't that even acceptable? The man shouted excitedly.
For a moment, everyone was at a loss. These prodigies had slaughtered their fellow disciples, and whatever the reason, it was unforgivable.
But killing them like that was truly a pity. Besides, they wanted to repay the academy before the last minute. As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, their words are kind. Many people wanted to plead for them.
"The key is, once you're on the battlefield, will you turn against your side at the last minute?"
Long Chen, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. One sentence from Long Chen startled everyone.
"You... You ... Spouting nonsense and slandering others—how could we possibly do something so shameless? The man shouted anxiously, shocked and furious.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the man let out a startled cry, pulled by an invisible force, flying out from the crowd and landing on the arena.
"Ah..."
The man let out a piercing scream, his whole body engulfed in flames, but the flames did not ignite him; instead, he kept screaming, as if suffering endless pain.
"This move of mine is called the Heavenly Fire Soul Refining and Heart-Questioning Technique. No one can lie in this state. Take care of yourself." Long Chen looked at the screaming man and said calmly. After speaking, he gave Guo Ran a meaningful look.
Guo Ran was stunned at first, then understood that Long Chen was asking him to ask questions. Guo Ran shouted, "What's your name?" "
Gu Yi," the man quickly replied.
Strangely, after answering the question, his whole body stopped twitching, and it seemed all the pain had disappeared.
"Who is your father?"
"Who is your mom?"
"How many wives and concubines does your father have?" Which one is the most beautiful? Which body has the best? Oh my! Guo
Ran asked several questions in a row, only to get kicked by Long Chen. Long Chen was so angry he wanted to hit someone. At a time like this, billions of eyes are staring at you—what the hell are you asking about?
"Boss, I need to ask some questions everyone knows first. Only then can I prove whether he's lying, and also prove whether your Heavenly Fire Soul Refining and Heart-Questioning Technique is truly effective!" Guo Ran said, looking aggrieved.
Long Chen was speechless. This guy was really hopeless. Xue Yifan was still hoping to turn him into a hero, but the key point was that this guy was just cut out. He just dropped a few sentences and headed straight for trouble.
Xue Yifan's expression was strange, as if he wanted to laugh, but in such a serious moment, he absolutely couldn't laugh out loud, or else he would lose control of the moment.
As soon as Guo Ran didn't ask, Gu Yi began to let out a piercing scream again. Suddenly, he shouted, "
Please, kill me! I can't take it anymore! I'll say it, I'll say everything. I'm an undercover agent trained by the Luo family. In the academy, I'm not the only one—there are many, many ...
"What?"
Gu Yi's words caused everyone present to boo, all staring at him in disbelief.
