"What was that sound? It sounded like an explosion!" Lin Ye said.

"Someone's robbing the place! Everyone hide and stay put! I'll go check!" said the referee in white.

"Let's go help out!" Yang Honggang said eagerly.

"With your strength, you'd be lucky not to get killed or taken hostage! Just stay put!" the white-clad referee snapped bluntly.

"Hmm! Fine!" Yang Honggang replied reluctantly.

At that moment, a wave of enemies flooded into the venue, plunging it into utter chaos.

Boss Yue shouted, "Shut up if you don't want to die!" He shot a boy who was speaking, and the entire hall fell silent.

The fat man eyed the girls around him, drooling. Greedily, he said to Boss Yue, "Boss! I've heard Lin Feng Academy is filled with beauties. Seeing it today, it's truly as rumored. Can I have one?"

Boss Yue slapped him hard. "We're short on time! Hurry up and get the money! Women? You can have as many as you want back home!"

"Yes—but how can those painted women compare to these pure high school beauties?" the fat man said sadly.

"Less talk! Get to work!" Boss Yue growled angrily.

"Yes!" the fat man muttered reluctantly, then ran off to collect money.

"Alright! Who's in charge? Step forward!" Boss Yue yelled. Ye Chen stepped out, his face extremely grim, filled with fury.

One look at Ye Chen startled Boss Yue. He felt like Ye Chen was the real boss here, and he himself was just a teacher. His confidence plummeted. Panicked and stuttering, he said, "Th-that boss... no, I mean, person in charge... just hand over the money... and we'll spare your lives."

Ye Chen glared coldly at him, making Boss Yue break into a cold sweat. Ye Chen clapped his hands. Most of the venue's floor slid open. Black-clad figures emerged, swiftly subduing the bandits with lightning speed. Boss Yue sensed their power—all were Demon Sect masters, no! even a few Demon Emperors.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear it—spare our lives, haha! You should worry about yourself first!" Ye Chen sneered.

Knowing he couldn't win, Boss Yue activated Light-element magic [Flash Light] and dashed toward the VIP section.

"No good! There are still people there!" Ye Chen thought regretfully. He sprinted after Boss Yue at top speed, but lacking Light-element affinity, he couldn't catch up.

Spotting people inside, Boss Yue sneered and lunged at a breathtaking beauty with light blue hair—it was Ling Ling.

Ling Ling saw him and tried to activate her Ice Domain, but it was too slow. Boss Yue grabbed her, pressing a gun to her head.

Seeing this, Mu Qi and others panicked, frozen in place.

"Let her go, and you might still have a chance to live!" Ye Chen said coldly.

"Heh heh heh! A chance to live? Are you joking? I've killed so many people! Even if there was a way, I'd never go to prison—that's worse than death!" Boss Yue laughed wildly to the sky.

"Get the hell out of my way! Or this woman dies!" Boss Yue snarled, jamming the gun against Ling Ling's head.

"Fine! Clear a path! Let him pass!" Ye Chen ordered coldly. The surrounding crowd obediently parted, but then another twist occurred.

Lin Ye suddenly burst from the floor beside Boss Yue, shouting, "You dare touch my sister, just try it!" A stone struck Boss Yue's gun hand, dislocating it! Ling Ling seized the chance to escape.

This traced back to moments earlier.

"Looks like the match can't proceed," I said regretfully.

"Yeah! My plan to show off my handsome self to my sweetheart is ruined!" Yang Honggang sighed.

"We can talk later. Do you really want to stay here obediently? Not help?" I asked doubtfully.

"Haha! Brother-in-law, you read my mind! Exactly! We need to make a big move!" Yang Honggang laughed.

"Shut up! Don't call me brother-in-law! Let's go then!" I snapped. Nan Ling pulled me aside to a secluded spot. The F Class students were speechless—were they showing affection at a time like this?

"Here you go, Little Ye Ye!" Nan Ling handed me a red card inscribed with "Magic Nullification."

"This is... a Celestial Spirit Card! It's too precious; I can't accept it!" I gasped in surprise. But remembering she was the Nan Jun Clan princess, I calmed down.

"Do we need to be so formal? Besides, this is the only Celestial Spirit Card our clan can produce. It's not that valuable to us!" Nan Ling said.

"Is that so? Then I'll accept it!" I said awkwardly, taking the card. I held her hand and walked back to F Class.

After stepping out, I saw Boss Yue holding Ling Ling hostage. My heart ached sharply. The thought of my sister dying was unbearable—I had to save her! I devised a plan.

I whispered to Nan Ling, "The Nullification Card cancels magic. Can it also dull magical senses?"

"Yes! But it barely affects Archsages and above! Don't worry. With your magic level and your ability to hide it, combined with the card—and so many powerful mages around—he won't sense you!" Nan Ling analyzed carefully. She'd already guessed my plan.

Hearing this, I rushed to the basement. The F Class students looked puzzled. Ouyang Chen hurriedly asked, "Yeer! What are you doing?"

"To the basement! Don't follow me!" I said coldly. Seeing my expression, the F Class students fell silent.

"You're going to save your sweetheart, right? I'm coming too!" Yang Honggang said.

"Get lost! Your magic level is too high! It'll cause trouble!" I snapped coldly, my anger boiling over. Yang Honggang stayed put, silent.

From the basement, I tracked the guard unit's raid path, learning Boss Yue's movements. That led to the earlier scene.

"How is this possible? How did you get out?" Boss Yue exclaimed in shock. Seeing me grab Ling Ling to escape, he had a crazy idea. He raised his hand, a brown light ball forming. He slammed it into the ground, cracking it open! The fissure reached exactly where I, Ling Ling, and Ye Chen stood. In an instant, we sank into the abyss.

"I have to save Little Ye Ye! Don't stop me!" Nan Ling screamed frantically after seeing me fall. But the F Class students held her back.

The guard captain barked, "Suit up in rescue gear! We're going down!"

"Yes!" the entire guard team replied.
