Chapter 1520 - 1500: Threat

During this period, Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao didn't get a good night's sleep in the underground river tunnel.

The surfaces in the underground river tunnel were rocky and uneven, coupled with the damp ground, making it very uncomfortable to sleep.

While in the underground river tunnel, they spent their days focused on cultivation, absorbing the rich Evolution Energy there. Each time they only slept for four or five hours, sometimes just two or three hours, waking up to continue cultivation. Tired from cultivation, they would sleep again, with no fixed sleeping schedule.

Now back at Wuji Academy, lying on the wide, soft, and comfortable bed in the hostel felt like an enjoyment for Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao.

When Chu Tian and Chi Long arrived at room 906, Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao were both asleep.

Chu Tian and Chi Long exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and pressed the doorbell of room 906.

Xing Zhe was deeply asleep, awakened by the doorbell, got up in a daze, muttering:

"Yang Xiao, can't you just let me have a peaceful sleep? Are you made of iron, never knowing fatigue and rest?"

Xing Zhe thought it was Yang Xiao pressing the doorbell; at this time, it seemed that only Yang Xiao would come to find him.

When he opened the door, he was stunned.

Standing at the door were Chu Tian and Chi Long.

"You guys?"

Chu Tian chuckled and said:

"Brother Xing Zhe, hello, long time no see. I didn't expect you to return safely, so Senior Brother Chi Long and I came to visit you."

Xing Zhe snorted coldly,

"Oh, really? You certainly didn't expect me to walk out alive. So, this is the hostel of Wuji Academy, are you two here to continue hunting me down?

Be careful, you were recorded by the surveillance cameras as soon as you entered the hostel. Think it over before making a move!"

Chu Tian gave an awkward smile,

"Brother Xing Zhe, it's a misunderstanding. Let's talk in your room, okay? I have something important to discuss with you."

Xing Zhe knew that in Wuji Academy, Chu Tian and Chi Long dared not make a move against him. The academy strictly forbids private fights, and more so, Chu Tian was under surveillance after entering the hostel, making them even more cautious.

Xing Zhe arrogantly glanced at the two,

"Alright, come in and talk. I'll give you just five minutes because I want to go back to sleep."

With that, Xing Zhe turned around and walked inside the room.

Chu Tian and Chi Long followed him in and closed the door.

"Go on, if you're here to beg for mercy, forget it. You can explain to the academy leaders later,"

Xing Zhe cut Chu Tian off directly because he knew what Chu Tian was there for.

Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao had already agreed that their first task after returning to Wuji Academy was to report Chu Tian's attempt to harm them.

The academy forbids students from privately fighting, with zero tolerance towards those concocting plots to assassinate classmates.

With over 100,000 students at Wuji Academy, from hundreds or even thousands of different tribes from Dwarf Star, there are past blood feuds among many tribes, often in a state of war.

If these students brought their hatred into the academy and began fighting and murdering each other, how would Wuji Academy continue to operate?

Therefore, the academy's prohibitions in this regard are exceedingly strict.

Such as in the case of Chu Tian and Chi Long, if proven to have conspired to murder a fellow student, they would be expelled from the academy and have their Genetic Energy Sea abolished.

Once the Genetic Energy Sea in their bodies is abolished, they would become like ordinary people in the aspect of Genetic Evolution, losing their Combat Power.

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe had no intention to privately settle with these two scum; using the academy's channels was the best recourse.

Upon hearing Xing Zhe's remarks, Chu Tian immediately said:

"Xing Zhe, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding indeed. We were in the wrong that day, and I've come to ask for your forgiveness, we were classmates after all; any misunderstanding can be resolved through discussion. How about an offer of one billion Crystal Disks?"

One billion Crystal Disks is no small sum for Xing Zhe's Xianghe Clan either.

Xing Zhe chuckled lightly,

"One billion Crystal Disks to buy both Yang Xiao's and my life? Your Disks must be worth quite a lot."

Chi Long, standing by, added:

"Both Chu Tian and I are offering one billion Crystal Disks each,

Xing Zhe, where a life can be spared, it should be. This matter is just a misunderstanding. Truthfully, we never intended to deal with you, it was just a prank with Yang Xiao, never expected by mistake you'd wind up mixed with Yang Xiao."

"According to you, it's my fault, right? I'm the unfortunate one, is that it?

You can explain that to the academy leaders later, no need to tell me,

If there's nothing else, you two should leave, I need to rest, of course, don't stray too far, as you'll be called for a committee investigation by the academy soon."

Xing Zhe gestured towards the door, indicating they should leave.

Chu Tian and Chi Long exchanged a glance.

Chu Tian's face changed, and he said in a deep voice:

"Xing Zhe, don't take the kindness for granted, tearing down all pretenses is of no benefit to you."

"Tearing down all pretenses? Weren't you two already doing that in the 101 Cultivation Field? You even triggered the Nuclear Generator, how else do you intend to 'tear down all pretenses'?

Get out!

While I'm in a good mood, giving you a few more hours to live, I'll deal with you two scum after my nap,

Leave immediately, or I'll report you to the academy now."

Chi Long gave a sinister laugh, saying:

"Xing Zhe, I'll put the ugly words upfront, if you dare report us to the academy, Chu Tian and I will each lead our clansmen to unite and attack your Xianghe Clan,

I know your Xianghe Clan is just a small tribe, yet our Wula Clan and Phantom Feather Tribe are ten times the size of your Xianghe Clan,

If you ruin us, you're also destroying the future of our two tribes. Chu Tian's and my father are both the leaders of our tribes,

Think about it, would we let you off?

If you don't want your Xianghe Clan destroyed, you'd better behave. Otherwise, I will ensure your Xianghe Clan vanishes from Dwarf Star!"

As Chi Long spoke, his face became hideous, filled with Killing Aura.

Xing Zhe was genuinely taken aback.

He would never back down from personal revenge or challenges, but once it involved his tribe, he had to consider it carefully.

"If you dare harm my clansmen, I, Xing Zhe, vow to exact revenge to the end, blood for blood!"

Xing Zhe said fiercely, eyes widened, glaring at Chi Long, brimming with anger.

Chu Tian gave a cold smile, saying:

"Xing Zhe, don't be rash. As long as you're willing to cooperate and not report us to the academy, there won't be any conflict between us. We're willing to offer you 2 billion Crystal Disks as compensation,

I said before, this matter was just a misunderstanding, it was never intended for you; you were an unexpected variable, we truly were not targeting you."

Xing Zhe paused, then coldly said:

"Even if I agree to your terms, would Yang Xiao also agree?"
