Chapter 60 - Slaughter (1/2)

A week had passed since the exams ended. Huang Yu and the others had returned to the academy via Wu Zhangkong's flying car.

Huang Yu's group had passed their exams with full marks, and with bonus marks to boot. With that, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi shared their bonus marks with other students so no one would fail this semester.

With the end of the exams marked the beginning of the semester vacations. Gu Yue said that she would be heading home during that time then train at the Spirit Pagoda. However, she promised that she would visit Huang Yu during that time as well.

Inside a massive building, three figures were kneeling in front of Huang Yu who was sitting leisurely on a chair.

”My king!” the three of them shouted. These three were naturally the three bishops of Nox, Guang Biao, Huang Yu's first follower, Xiao Chen, and Romario.

”Have you done what I've asked you to do a few days ago?” Huang Yu asked directly.

Guang Biao was the one to speak up. ”My king, we've done as you commanded. Three evil Spirit Masters at the Spirit Emperor rank(Rank 60-69) have been captured by us.”

Hearing this, Huang Yu got off his seat. ”Good. Take me to them.”

Huang Yu smiled. ”I just want to test my strength against them.”

”But my king, with your great powers, no one in this world is a match for you!”

”Forgive my interruption, but I believe that Romario's words are correct as well my king! If you really wanted someone to die, they cannot live.” Xiao Chen cut in at this time.

Shaking his head, Huang Yu replied, ”I don't want to use those abilities too much. Those abilities are far too inconspicuous to use. It's hard to just pin everything on just sword intent y'know.”

”But why do you have to care about those fools seeing your abilities, my king? If any of those heretics dare to question you, it would take merely a snap from you to annihilate their very being.”

”Because I want to play with them a bit more of course.”

The true reason was actually that Huang Yu didn't want to disrupt the current status quo at this time. He enjoyed the days he spent with Gu Yue very much. Besides the fact that Nox itself wasn't powerful or strong enough yet to control the continent, Gu Yue was also a factor in his choice of not going full Darth Sidious yet.

At those words, a certain enlightenment was grasped by the three bishops in front of Huang Yu. Of course! Their king was a higher life form to those insects! His natural endowments were superior to even gods! It was his birthright to be able to play with lower life forms for his own entertainment.

No wonder their king was so eccentric at times when dealing with people! With this, the three bishops began grieving at their own inability to understand their king's thoughts.

When those words entered the ears of the three bishops, they stiffened up before hurriedly obeying their king's orders to take him to the three evil Spirit Masters they had captured.

Huang Yu personally categorised his strength into five levels.

In the first level, he would use the strength of his body and pure martial arts to battle. Even like this, he was capable of easily stomping enemies around twenty ranks above his own. Any higher than that carried a bit more risk. This level was the one that Huang Yu favoured using the most.

In the second level, he would start to use his martial spirit, its spirit ring abilities, sword intent, and even get some help from Jormungandr. This was the level that Huang Yu wasn't sure the true strength of. This was because Huang Yu never got to push the strength of this level to its limits before using other ones.

In the third level, Huang Yu would start using amplifications on himself. Whether it be Godspeed or Limiter Removal, he would use them. Not only that, he would begin to use a bit of the King's Wisdom in his fight as well. This was the level he used against Elder Cai that day.

In the fourth level, Huang Yu didn't even need to physically fight to dominate his opponents anymore. At this level, Huang Yu would spam all of the King's Wisdom's hax abilities. The one that he had found more interesting among all the hax abilities was vector manipulation. While it didn't come with the comprehension of the King's Wisdom, Huang Yu had managed to derive it himself.

Why was vector manipulation so powerful one may ask? In essence, vectors were things that had direction and magnitude. If you could control the direction and magnitude of everything…

You're probably not going to lose in a fight.

This level was of course something that Huang Yu had come up with rather recently. He wasn't able to use this stage when he fought Elder Cai.

Omae wa mou shindeiru.(Translator note: This means you're already dead)

”My king, we're here.” At Xiao Chen's words, Huang Yu gave a nod. In front of him, was a door that brought him directly to a room.

Inside it, Huang Yu found three ugly men in robes tied up there. They tried to curse, but failed due to the fact that cultivations were sealed and that there was tape on their mouths.

With a wave of Huang Yu's hand, the three bishops that were currently behind him left the room. As soon as they did so, the cultivations of the three men were unsealed.

Realising what was going on, the three of them instantly broke out of their bindings.

”HA! They're leaving us with a brat? I'll rip his bones out!” said one of the evil Spirit Masters.
