Chapter 41: A Body of Rebellion, Stepping on the Nobles (1/3)

Shortly after Situ Yu left, several figures silently emerged from the shadows.

The man at the front bowed slightly, “Chief, everything is ready.”

This was Ning Yuan, the captain of the third team of the Provincial Institute.

Unlike the flamboyant and arrogant styles of the second and fourth teams, the third team had always operated in secrecy and efficiency.

They never acted directly, yet they always achieved their goals with a 100% success rate, making them the chief’s most trusted team.

But at this moment, Ning Yuan, who was usually calm, felt a surge of curiosity.

Who was the “idiot” the chief had just referred to?

Was he saying the fourth team was too stupid to handle a candidate from District 12?

Or was it…?

Before he could continue his thoughts, the chief glanced over.

“Mm,” he responded softly, “It’s time. Begin the cleanup.”

The so-called “cleanup” was essentially about eliminating those “troublesome” candidates, forcing them out early to reduce the number of participants in the final divine power infusion.

After all, allowing these people to enter the exam and gain a significant amount of divine power during the deity summoning phase was already a tremendous favor.

As for the divine power rewards after the exam?

They shouldn’t even dream of it.

In the world of the strong, the weak never have the right to choose.

Moreover, it was well known that the divine power rewards during the annual entrance exam were the most generous, enough to significantly boost a candidate’s strength.

Ordinary candidates shouldn’t even entertain such thoughts.

This had almost become an unspoken rule over the years: the strong take all, while the weak are eliminated.

“I understand,” Ning Yuan bowed slightly, but he didn’t leave.

Instead, he tentatively asked, “The B section will be wrapped up soon.”

He paused before continuing, “But… over there, can Situ Yu handle Su Fu?”

Ning Yuan subtly threw Situ Yu under the bus.

But his question wasn’t entirely unfounded.

Who didn’t know what kind of person Situ Yu was?

A typical aristocratic young lady, arrogant and conceited, with a sharp tongue and a ruthless heart.

She usually looked down on even the other captains, obeying only the chief.

Sending such a haughty young lady to win over a “nobody” from District 12?

He could easily imagine Situ Yu’s haughty demeanor-she definitely wouldn’t speak kindly, and might even resort to force.

“Moreover,” Ning Yuan lowered his voice, probing, “If Situ Yu… fails, should we prepare a contingency plan for Su Fu?”

He secretly observed the chief’s reaction.

After all, Su Fu was genuinely capable.

Being able to merge the exam papers was clearly not something an ordinary candidate could achieve.

If she ended up disrupting the plan, it would be a huge loss.

At that moment, a soft chuckle came from the darkness.

“She is indeed interesting, but…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

The chief’s voice was firm.

“She won’t affect the plan’s progress.”

“Besides, Su Fu was already part of the plan.”

These words sent a shock through Ning Yuan.

The chief had even factored Su Fu into his calculations?!

The exam papers had only merged recently, yet the chief had already anticipated the changes in the A section?

Each of the four teams had their own tasks, and each captain only knew their part.

Only the chief had the full picture, aware of all the designs.

From this perspective… could it be that Su Fu’s successful merger of the exam papers was also orchestrated by the chief?

Ning Yuan felt even more that the Chief was unfathomable.

He lowered his head and said respectfully, “Yes, Chief, I will take action immediately.”

Ning Yuan quickly left with the three teams.

The Chief’s gaze fell on the golden chains entwined before him.

Soon, he raised his hand and infused a trace of divine power.

Then, countless faint blue lights appeared in the air.

The light flowed like water, rapidly spreading through the air and instantly illuminating the entire space.

It also revealed the original appearance of this space:

Countless thick chains intertwined like giant pythons, supported by eighty-one rule pillars.

These pillars were exactly the same as the ones in the tomb where the 1st Warden had ascended!

At the center of the pillars was an altar, but unlike before, floating on the altar were…

Nine identical rule codices!

Damn!

***

Volume A, the Great Prison.

Crack!

Another chain lashed out at Xiao Bai.

The green blessing light on his body flickered, almost fading away.

Su Fu estimated that with three or four more strikes, the blessing buff from Mother Gaia would disappear, and then she could finish him off.

But just then-

The space in front of Xiao Bai suddenly tore open, as if a sharp blade had sliced through it, and the rift expanded like ripples.

A figure stepped out of the rift.

She wore a dark purple gown and held a dark silver scythe, a divine artifact.

Su Fu’s eyes filled with disappointment:

“Great, everyone has a divine artifact except me, huh?”

“Si… Situ Yu!” Klaus recognized her, exclaiming in shock:

“The captain of the Second Team from the Provincial Institute!”

The Second Team of the Provincial Institute was second only to the Chief.

Moreover, her patron deity was Hecate, the goddess of the crossroads in the underworld, who governed space and teleportation.

Did she just tear through space to get here?

To save the Fourth Team?

Everyone was utterly shocked.

This ability was too powerful.

Spatial abilities were inherently invincible, allowing for both offense and defense.

Especially the skill of tearing through space-it was absurdly strong, cutting through space without warning.

As for escaping?

Spatial abilities were unmatched; no one could catch up.

And such a formidable Situ Yu had arrived?

This was bad, really bad.

But Situ Yu didn’t even glance at these people.

She stood there, her gaze coldly fixed on Su Fu ahead.

Or rather, the Enforcer.

She looked at Su Fu and gently raised her hand.

[Spatial Severance]!

In an instant, space seemed to be sliced by an invisible blade.

Before anyone could react, Xiao Bai appeared at Situ Yu’s feet.

The chains that had bound him were all shattered, falling to the ground like fine dust.

The speed-

It was too fast!

No flashy lights or sounds, just a direct cut through space!

And what was even more terrifying was her precise control over space.

She had cut the chains so accurately that Xiao Bai wasn’t harmed in the slightest.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Was this the strength of the Second Team’s captain?

But Situ Yu didn’t even glance at Xiao Bai, whom she had just saved.

It seemed she had finally taken an interest, a faint smile curling at the corner of her lips.

Ah!

“So, Su Fu, you’re actually Su Fu,”

No wonder, no wonder the Chief said not to let Xiao Bai curse in front of her.

Who could have guessed that the Enforcer was Su Fu?

If it weren’t for the Chief’s reminder, even she might not have recognized her.

The disguise was just too perfect.

As soon as she spoke, it was like a bomb went off, leaving everyone’s minds reeling.

What did she mean?

Situ Yu was telling the Enforcer that she was Su Fu?!

The Enforcer?

Su Fu?

Wait, is that even logical?

That doesn’t make sense!

The Enforcer can only be the Enforcer.

How can the Enforcer be Su Fu?

But, the next second, everyone suddenly felt that, well, it kind of made sense.

“Ahhhhh”

Everyone gasped in shock!

The most shocked was Xiao Bai, who could hardly believe his ears.

He stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

His pupils contracted violently, and his voice trembled: “Situ… what, what did you say? This Enforcer is… Su Fu?”

She is Su Fu?!

Xiao Bai almost passed out on the spot, instantly recalling everything he had done before.

He had unhesitatingly handed over all his teammates’ divine artifacts…

He had tried to bribe the “Enforcer” to deal with Su Fu…

He had openly threatened to kill Su Fu in front of the Enforcer…

And the person he had done all this to, the Enforcer, was actually Su Fu herself?!

“Pfft~”

Xiao Bai spat out a mouthful of blood, almost fainting on the spot.

His voice was sharp and furious: “How is this possible… no, no, no…”

The Enforcer he had been currying favor with couldn’t possibly be Su Fu?

This was absolutely impossible!

Just the thought of it nearly drove him insane!

But then, all the details he had previously overlooked suddenly became clear.

For example, he finally understood why the Enforcer had slapped him the moment she appeared!

She had said she didn’t like cursing, but that was clearly to get back at him for cursing her!

Damn it!

And later, why had the Enforcer turned hostile the moment he mentioned Su Fu?

Because that was Su Fu herself!

Xiao Bai felt the world spinning around him.

No wonder he had been beaten so badly!

“Wait! And those divine artifacts!”

Xiao Bai almost couldn’t catch his breath.

No wonder when he read the Enforcer’s thoughts, all he saw was “struck it rich”!

That lowly commoner had taken so many divine artifacts, of course she had struck it rich!

Xiao Bai, who had been on the verge of death, was now so enraged and humiliated that he stood up, his face twisted with near madness:

“Su Fu!”

“I will never rest until you’re dead!”

“Situ! Hurry! Kill her! Make this lowly commoner pay for deceiving us!”

Thomas and the others also went crazy, “Ahhh! Give me back my Thor’s Hammer!”

“You thief!” Leanna screamed, “Return the divine artifacts!”

Ichiro cursed angrily, “Using such despicable means to swindle divine artifacts, how shameless!”

“Kill her!”

“Take back the artifacts!”

Pi Chu Xi watched the scene:”…..”

Hiss, this breakdown feels somewhat familiar.

At that moment, Situ Yu expressionlessly raised her hand, and countless fine cracks appeared in the air.

Xiao Bai, seeing this, laughed maniacally: “Yes! That’s it! Su Fu, you’re finished!”

“I will never stop until you’re dead! Situ , kill her!”

As the spatial rifts grew increasingly dense, Xiao Bai’s grin turned more and more sinister.

But in the next moment, Situ Yu directly struck at the members of the Fourth Team who had been incessantly jeering on the side!

“Thud!”

“Ah!”

Piercing screams erupted instantly as space tore apart around them.

Countless fine wounds appeared in an instant, and blood sprayed out!

In this strike, Situ Yu had held back not a single ounce of her strength.

“Annoying.”

She coldly glanced at the kneeling members of the Fourth Team.

“A bunch of trash, unworthy of my effort.”

Instead, she turned to Su Fu, her expression softening with a hint of a smile.

“Don’t misunderstand. I’m not here to save these worthless fools.”

She sheathed the dark silver scythe behind her back, her tone elegant: “I’m here… to invite you.”

Su Fu raised an eyebrow.

“Invite?”

“That’s right,” Situ Yu smiled lightly.

“To invite you to replace Xiao Bai as the new captain of the Fourth Team.”

She gestured as if introducing goods: “And these people will be your team members from now on. Their strength… is passable.”

Hearing this, Xiao Bai panicked.

“Wait!” He scrambled up from the ground, ignoring his injuries.

“Lady Situ! Please give me another chance! I’ll definitely complete the mission! I swear!”

All traces of his former arrogance were gone.

He groveled like a stray dog.

If he were expelled from the Fourth Team, he’d be finished!

Situ Yu, however, merely raised an eyebrow.

“You think there’s still room for negotiation?”

She slowly walked over to the prostrate Xiao Bai, crouched down, and forced him to look up at her in a humiliating manner.

Xiao Bai’s face was filthy, smeared with blood and dirt.

Situ Yu’s voice was soft, but it sent chills down Xiao Bai’s spine when she said:
