Chapter 444: The Chosen One
He looked at Shi Hu and said coldly, "Go to Tongtian Tower and receive your punishment."
Luo Li raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that Ling would let her own student receive the punishment so straightforwardly.
Tongtian Tower is not only a training place for senior students of Skya Imperial College, but also a punishment place for students who make mistakes. It is towering into the clouds and imposing. Ordinary students like them are not qualified to enter on weekdays and can only look up.
At this moment, although he was about to step into the Tongtian Tower that he had always dreamed of, Shi Hu's face was pale and his fists were clenched.
He lowered his head and said in a difficult voice, "Yes..."
In the Skjaer Imperial Academy, only the strong can be respected by everyone, and Shi Ling is a true prodigy looked up to by the entire academy.
He was only twenty-two years old, which was an insurmountable mountain for all the students in the academy. Naturally, he did not dare to disobey him.
After saying that, he turned and was about to leave.
Shi Ling looked at him like this, pressed her forehead with a headache, and said in a low voice, "Come here and apologize!"
If it’s like this, if I go to the mainland in the future, I’m afraid I won’t even know how I died!
Shi Hu's body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. He turned around stiffly and faced Shi Ling, his eyes filled with helplessness and a hint of resentment.
Why should he apologize to these disciples of Tianyuan Academy!
It's ridiculous!
His fists were clenched until they turned white, as if he was trying to suppress the trembling in his heart. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his voice was dry and difficult.
Shi Ling's expression gradually became fierce, "Don't make me say it a second time."
"I'm...I'm sorry." Shi Hu spoke to Luo Li and the others with difficulty, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
He lowered his head even lower, as if he couldn't face Shi Ling's sharp eyes and the mocking looks that Luo Li and the others might give him. His shoulders trembled slightly, as if he might collapse at any moment.
However, Luo Li and the others didn't actually look at him. Instead, they looked at the man named Shi Ling thoughtfully.
Lan Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and whispered in Luo Li's ear, "Is this what the dean said? The team led by Skjaer Imperial Academy will take first place in this college competition?"
Luo Li tapped her arm with her fingertips, "Calling her Shi Ling should be correct."
On the other side, Shi Ling looked at Shi Hu with a frown on his face. He knew that such an apology was not sincere, but just a forced submission.
He sighed and stared at Shi Hu with a sharp gaze, hoping that he could understand his intention.
Looking at Shi Hu with his neck stiffened, he waved his hand with a headache, "Go."
Shi Hu nodded, "Yes, Senior Shi Ling."
He turned and staggered toward the towering building in the distance, feeling a mixture of humiliation at being publicly humiliated and fear of impending punishment.
But he did not feel any resentment towards Shi Ling. Senior Shi Ling has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs. This time, it was indeed he who first mocked Tianyuan Academy. He could not beat that disciple only because he was not as skilled as the other.
In the square at the back, seeing Shi Hu being punished, the other students lowered their heads and looked at him intently. Since senior Shi Hu had been punished, they couldn't be punished anymore!
Looking at his group of troublesome younger classmates, Shi Ling couldn't help but close his eyes.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Disperse. Since you don't have to participate in the college competition, don't slack off in your training during this time."
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, saluted, and said in unison, "Yes, Senior Shi Ling."
After saying that, they immediately dispersed, and the surroundings suddenly became empty.
Shi Ling sighed, looked up at Luo Li and the others, and walked over.
He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. They are not very sensible. I hope you don't mind."
Luo Li chuckled, "After all, I've learned my lesson."
Mu Ze also snorted, "Indeed, although my punch didn't kill him, it was enough to hurt him for two days."
Shi Ling didn't show any dissatisfaction when he heard this. He just lowered his head and smiled, "Yes, thank you for holding back, little brother. Otherwise, I, your junior, would be in trouble."
Mu Ze waved his hand. Actually, he was not holding back. It was mainly because they were on someone else's territory and he couldn't kill them.
But since there was such a beautiful misunderstanding, he was not going to explain.
Luo Li nodded and no longer had the desire to continue shopping. It would be better to go to Donghuang City to try Caesar's special food.
She heard that the dishes here are very delicious, but she has never tasted them since she came here.
So she said goodbye directly, "In that case, we will take our leave first."
After saying that, she was ready to turn around and leave. Bei Mingyu and the others also turned around and had no intention of continuing to shop.
"Hold on."
However, Shi Ling called out to them.
Luo Li paused and turned to look at Shi Ling, a little confused, "Anything else?"
Shi Ling coughed lightly, touched his neck, and asked, "Excuse me, you are a student of Tianyuan College, so do you know Luo Li?"
Shi Ling's voice rang in Luo Li's ears. Luo Li was slightly startled, and a barely perceptible strangeness flashed in his eyes.
She turned around and said in a clear voice, "I am Luo Li, is there anything wrong?"
As Luo Li finished speaking, the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze for a moment.
Shi Ling's eyes widened almost instantly, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He took a few steps forward and looked at Luo Li carefully, his eyes full of shock and curiosity. "You, you are Luo Li?"
Luo Li looked at him strangely, then nodded calmly, "Yes, I am Luo Li."
Shi Ling calmed himself down after hearing this. He took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly. "You...you are that Luo Li? The Luo Li from the Luo family who is hailed as the continent's number one genius, not only a god-level alchemist but also a god-level beast tamer, and who broke through to the Spirit Emperor realm at the age of sixteen?!"
If the group of students saw him like this, they would probably be shocked.
Luo Li's lips twitched, "It should be me."
Shi Ling suddenly grabbed Luo Li's arms and said, "I heard from the grapevine that you have already broken through to the Spiritual Sect level. Is that true?!"
Luo Li was stunned by the shaking, no, brother has hands, are you really moving?
She quickly took two steps back and said, "This is indeed true, so what can I do for you?"
Shi Ling had calmed down a bit by this time. Upon hearing this, she pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "It's just that I've heard a lot about your deeds, so I admire you very much."
Luo Li glanced at him and asked, "Can you still hear about my deeds in Caesar?"
Shi Ling explained with a smile, "He's my mentor. He's always informed of various happenings on the continent, not to mention Miss Luo Li, who is famous throughout the Longyue Empire."
