"Pearl Newcomer King, that title sounds quite nice," the leader said to himself.
Jiang Yuan subtly assessed the group of uninvited guests before him.
His gaze swept over them one by one; there wasn't a single familiar face.
Dongfang Lie wasn't there, nor was Ding Yumin.
Which ignorant fools were these, running around as extras, coming to provoke him?
"What are you here for?" Mo Fan stood up, ready to act at any moment.
"What's the matter? I heard the Pearl Newcomer King is quite arrogant, even boasting that we older students can't compare to new students. So, I came to see just how capable he really is." A cold sneer hung on the leader's lips, his expression as if he were looking at an overconfident clown.
He paused, then looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "But from what I see, the Pearl Newcomer King is nothing special. I'm not bullying you; how about this: I'll give you time. When you advance to the Main Campus, I'll come and properly teach you a lesson, so no one can say we older students bully new students."
With that, he flicked his sleeve and led his group away in a grand manner.
This group arrived suddenly and left just as suddenly.
Only Jiang Yuan and the others in the private room were left looking at each other in dismay.
"Where did these idiots come from? Why are they all acting like little kids?" Mo Fan was both annoyed and amused, then asked, "Should we stop them and ask?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head, gently poked Little Yunmeng, who was happily gnawing on a spirit essence, and said, "Little Yunmeng, go catch all those people who just left and bring them back to me."
Upon hearing this, Little Yunmeng immediately hid the spirit essence under the white cloud beneath her, then gracefully flew out of the private room.
"Can Little Yunmeng do it? Those people are all Intermediate-level mages." Zhao Manyan was a bit worried; Little Yunmeng looked so harmless that it was hard to believe she could deal with those people.
"We'll just continue eating. She'll bring them back soon enough." Jiang Yuan sat back down.
Seeing this, the others also sat back down, half-believing, to continue their meal, but their eyes occasionally darted towards the door.
Not long after, a torrential downpour suddenly began outside, instantly enveloping the entire restaurant.
And Little Yunmeng still hadn't returned.
Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly and stood up: "It seems I'll have to go out."
…
Outside the restaurant, the sky was completely covered by layers of dark clouds.
The heavy rain poured down relentlessly on the land, forming a magnificent yet terrifying curtain of rain.
What was peculiar was that just a few hundred meters away, the sky was clear and sunny, forming a stark contrast.
This miraculous scene attracted many passersby, who stopped to watch, all stunned by the sight before them.
"What's happening over there? Why is it still raining?"
"This must be the work of some powerful Water System mage, right? Could it be a Advanced Level mage?"
"Damn, it must be Advanced Level! The power of a single raindrop is stronger than my Basic-level magic!"
Within the rain curtain, those who had just left the private room were struggling bitterly.
Every raindrop felt like a heavy iron ball, smashing down hard on them.
Even worse, their magic seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, making it impossible to cast.
"Woohoo~~~" Little Yunmeng danced joyfully in the air. With every casual wave of her hand, a torrent of water comparable to Intermediate-level magic surged forth.
Wherever it went, water splashed, and those people were knocked off balance, completely helpless.
Fortunately, Little Yunmeng was just playing with them and not trying to kill them, or these people would have long been dead.
"This is too absurd, isn't it?" Mo Fan felt a great shock in his heart as he sensed the powerful energy contained within the raindrops.
"It's indeed somewhat beyond imagination." Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
Before, he only knew that Little Yunmeng was exceptionally strong, but he had never truly witnessed her full power, only experienced a fraction of her strength when she was in her possessed state.
Now, it seemed Little Yunmeng's strength was already comparable to a Commander-level, and she was the kind of Commander-level expert with terrifying large-scale destructive power!
It was foreseeable how powerful she would become once she officially advanced to the Commander-level.
At this moment, Little Yunmeng in the sky spotted Jiang Yuan coming out and immediately flew down, diving into Jiang Yuan's arms and rubbing against him affectionately.
"Stop the rain," Jiang Yuan said softly.
Little Yunmeng obediently nodded, and the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed. In the blink of an eye, the rain stopped, as if the heavy downpour had never happened.
Meanwhile, the older students lay scattered on the ground, groaning incessantly, covered in mud and injuries, looking as disheveled as possible.
Jiang Yuan and the others walked over.
As soon as the older students saw Little Yunmeng in Jiang Yuan's arms, their faces turned pale with fear, and they disregarded the piercing pain in their bodies, scrambling and crawling backward as fast as they could, as if Little Yunmeng were some man-eating demon.
"You lot can't even beat Jiang Yuan's contracted Nether General, and you still think about troubling him when he advances to the Main Campus? By then, you'll probably be beaten so badly your own mothers won't recognize you!" Mo Fan mocked mercilessly.
Although he was also no match for Little Yunmeng and the Three-Eyed Underworld General, what did that matter? Jiang Yuan was on his side.
The leader's face turned ashen with fright, and he quickly waved his hands, saying, "No more, no more, we won't cause any more trouble."
Jiang Yuan ignored him and gave Mo Fan a look.
Mo Fan understood immediately and stepped forward to pull out the person in the crowd who had pointed out Jiang Yuan.
"I was wrong, don't hit me!" The person trembled with fear, his voice laced with a sob.
"You must be from Qing Campus, right? Do you know who's spreading rumors about me?" Jiang Yuan's gaze was like a torch, fixed on him.
The Qing Campus student was so terrified he lost his wits and dared not hide anything, shouting, "It's Bai Zangfeng! He's the one spreading rumors about you everywhere!"
Bai Zangfeng?
That arrogant and overbearing figure from the Beast Fighting Competition, who was also the most severely beaten person.
Jiang Yuan had already given Bai Zangfeng a severe mental shock with his spiritual power back then, but he hadn't expected this guy to pop up again so soon.
"So it's that little scoundrel!" Mo Fan said indignantly.
"Do you know where Bai Zangfeng is now?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"He's in the Main Campus!" the Qing Campus student replied.
In the Main Campus, that makes things easier.
Jiang Yuan gently patted Little Yunmeng, signaling her to return to the Netherworld Space.
Then, looking down at the disheveled older students at his feet, Jiang Yuan said coldly, "Don't come looking for trouble with me again in the future. Otherwise, the outcome won't be as simple as today. Now, I'll give you one minute to disappear from my sight immediately."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if they had been granted a great pardon and scrambled away desperately, disappearing without a trace in less than half a minute.
"Let's go, come directly to the Main Campus with me," Jiang Yuan said.
"What for?"
"To find Bai Zangfeng with me, and while we're at it, suppress all those older students!"
