Chapter 007 Focus on cracking down on fake and counterfeit "missionaries

　　Wu Yu blocked the path of the two individuals. At this moment, his false guise of being kind and gentle had been stripped away, revealing his true, murderous nature. He was clearly a ravenous beast that devoured people without a trace. In the depths of Qinglong Academy, amidst the already dim surroundings, Wu Yu's pale features appeared even more grotesque.

　　"You should be staying in a temple instead of hanging around a school. That's quite a unique choice." Bang! Lu Kong unceremoniously fired a shot at this beast in human form. The bullet streaked straight towards Wu Yu, but Wu Yu, unperturbed, simply snapped his fingers in his signature move. The bullet, which had just come at him with a rush of air, suddenly turned illusory and vanished from sight.

　　"It's 'Featherization'. Don't let him touch you." Lu Kong took a step back and immediately fired several more shots. In the gloom, it seemed as if the bullets were disappearing even faster. Wu Yu looked at the hail of bullets with disdain, as if they were no more threatening than raindrops hitting his body.

　　Jing Lingxiao was still reeling from the shock, wondering how Wu Yu knew his name.

　　"I've already obtained the permission of that mysterious figure. Even you won't receive any mercy from me." Wu Yu's face darkened as he suddenly lunged at Lu Kong. Lu Kong reacted too late, and his gun was already snatched away by Wu Yu, who then vanished in an instant.

　　What a dangerous character.

　　Lu Kong pulled out a submachine gun from his pocket and went prone, firing a hail of bullets as he circled around the room in a matter of moments.

　　Although Wu Yu had said he wouldn't spare Jing Lingxiao for any reason, he chose to deal with Lu Kong, who seemed to have no significant background, first. This gave Jing Lingxiao an opportunity. In the cramped space, Wu Yu seemed oblivious to the fact that someone had quietly crept up behind him, raising a dagger.

　　No, he knew. Just as Jing Lingxiao was about to strike, Wu Yu suddenly dodged and reached out into the darkness.

　　"Danger!" Lu Kong hurled the submachine gun directly at Wu Yu, forcing him to abandon his attack on the lurking figure in the shadows.

　　"Kong Zhuming, why do you always have to oppose me?" Wu Yu glared angrily into the darkness.

　　There was actually someone else hiding in the shadows.

　　The depths of Qinglong Academy had now become a chessboard, with multiple factions infiltrating.

　　"Thanks." Kong Zhuming didn't let Lu Kong see his face,thanked him and then fled.

　　"Now, you don't have any weapons left." Wu Yu was thoroughly enraged. He pulled out a curved blade from his pocket and swung it at Lu Kong.

　　"Now, you won't have a life left."

　　With a snap of his fingers, all the bullets that had disappeared earlier suddenly reappeared. Thanks to Lu Kong, in that instant, the bullets arranged themselves in a ring like Saturn's, and they instantly concentrated their fire, turning Wu Yu into a sieve.

　　"How could you do it? Now what are we going to do?" Jing Lingxiao had originally wanted to ask Wu Yu some questions, but now it seemed impossible to get him to speak again.

　　"You're the one who did it. I didn't expect my random plan to actually work." Lu Kong teased him lightly, then crouched down to examine Wu Yu's corpse.

　　"It's a good thing you thought of using my ability 'Reverse Transformation' to turn back into reality everything this guy. Even I, the one with the ability, was skeptical." Jing Lingxiao seemed a bit impressed by Lu Kong's ingenuity. It turned out that Jing Lingxiao's supernatural power."Reverse Transformation" could transform substances into their opposite forms, and he could even turn the intangible into the real.

　　With that said, Lu Kong was already rummaging through the archives of Qinglong Academy, searching for clues to awakening his memories, while Jing Lingxiao lit a cigarette and stood outside, admiring Wu Yu's lifeless body. He also took the opportunity to recall the events of the previous night.

　　In a dimly lit room, thanks to Qinglong Academy's poor sound insulation, the snoring from the next room would occasionally join in on the conversation among the six people.

　　"My name is Chen Song, and my ability is Physical Reconstruction." Chen Song lowered his guard around these five individuals and proceeded to introduce himself.

　　"Like cockroaches and geckos? How fascinating." Su Xuan joked, glancing at the self-introducing youth. It was clear that if these words hadn't come from her, they would have sparked another fierce battle.

　　"We'll start tomorrow. You guys cause a commotion at the dojo, while Jing Lingxiao and I turn Qinglong Academy upside down and expose their true colors to the world." Lu Kong planned strategically.

　　"Why would you..." Before Jing Lingxiao could finish his question, Lu Kong seemed to intentionally interrupt him time and again.

　　"From what I know, these people are just the tip of the iceberg. There's a bigger conspiracy unfolding behind Jing City." Lu Kong interlaced his fingers and glanced around the room. "If there's nothing else, let's get some sleep."

　　Back to the present, Jing Lingxiao, on sentry duty, occasionally glanced at Lu Kong, who was rummaging through things. The confusion in his mind had clouded the young man's usually clear thoughts, but he truly couldn't figure out why.

　　As they should have been immersed in silence, something seemed to be trembling beneath Wu Yu's corpse in the darkness. Jing Lingxiao skeptically picked up a stick and flipped the dead body over, revealing his phone.

　　"Mr. K"—the cold three words hinted at the significant background of this person.

　　Jing Lingxiao was about to answer the call when Lu Kong snatched the phone from him.

　　"Hello, sir." Lu Kong pinched his nose and mimicked Wu Yu's tone.

　　"How's the matter going?" A questioning voice, clearly altered by a voice changer, came from the other end of the line.

　　"I've already dealt with those young punks."

　　"Good. I'll come see you in a while."

　　"Okay."

　　In just a few words, Lu Kong and Jing Lingxiao were drenched in cold sweat, thanks to the intense pressure from the other end of the line. They knew they were no match for this big shot. So, Lu Kong opened his phone to notify the others to retreat quickly before dragging Jing Lingxiao out the door.

　　In a cramped room, a shadowy figure played with three walnuts in his hands.

　　"Sir, this is what happens to those who oppose us." A figure below echoed.

　　The shadowy figure let out a burst of laughter. "Indeed, indeed. But I'll have to collect Wu Yu's body later."

　　"What?"

　　"I gave those young punks a way out. I hope they don't act foolishly." The shadowy figure turned around, lost in thought as he gazed at an enormous light sphere. "Anyway, I've already gotten what I wanted."

　　"Are you sure no one's left?" Lu Kong asked Chen Song, who had come out last.

　　"If dead people don't count." Chen Song panted, pressing his hands against his knees. To confirm that everyone had escaped the trap, he had visited every corner of Qinglong Academy.

　　After reading about the truth behind Qinglong Academy, Lu Kong had already learned the true identity of the hidden mastermind. Just as he was confidently planning how he would achieve success with his "script," he pulled out that mysterious white paper again and was amazed to find a few more sentences written on it.

　　"Now that you've once again led them into this cyclical chess game, I can only help you take this first step." Then the paper crumbled into powder and disappeared into the air.

　　"Damn it, they gave me a script, but it has an expiration date?" Before he could finish, several clouds in the sky were suddenly sucked into a twisted black sphere, which then transformed into a bolt of lightning and struck down.

　　"I'll appear when I should. I won't be absent." A voice echoed only in Lu Kong's mind.

　　The grand Qinglong Academy turned into a ruin with a burst of blue light right before Lu Kong and his companions.

　　"What? Is this also part of your plan?" Li Lei and Cheng Hao looked at Lu Kong simultaneously.

　　But Lu Kong himself was clearly wide-eyed, his contracted pupils matching his ashen face
