63 Chapter 63 (1/2)
Shen Yue quickly scanned through his officers' minds to get a first-hand view of what had happened. The first three he checked had been steadily killing ghouls with no problems, and it wasn't until he checked the mind of the fourth officer did he find what he was looking for. It was very similar to what had happened with Nie Li, Murong Yu made a weak excuse and then stole their soul scales. The only difference was that there was no one from Hua Ling's men creating trouble. This time, they were part of the group of victims getting robbed! As Shen Yue watched the memory play out like a movie, he was amazed at the shamelessness of the supposed genius of the previous year.
-------------------------------------------------
The officer slave looked up at the sky, he had sensed a powerful aura just as someone appeared. Murong Yu blatantly looked down at the six men, analysing their strength.
”You're new recruits?”
They had only recently made a breakthrough to the Heavenly Fate Realm, but for newcomers of this year, their strength was pretty decent.
”That's right, and you are?” Asked the officer.
”I'm Murong Yu!” He proudly announced. A good majority of the younger experts were well aware of his name, but fresh recruits like them had no idea who he was. Since they didn't want to cause trouble and harm their harvest speed, the officer responded politely.
”Nice to meet you, is there something you need from us?”
”I was just passing by and noticed that you were cheating to gather more soul scales. This is a testing ground to train your skills, not group up to kill ghouls. I'm afraid that I am going to have to confiscate all the soul scales you have as punishment!” Said Murong Yu as he made a slight beckoning motion with his right hand. The team's bags of soul scales flew towards him.
”What cheat-like methods? The Ghastly Ruins doesn't have any rules on what methods could be used to kill ghouls! You are not even a law enforcer of the Skysoul Institute; what right do you have to confiscate our soul scales?” Yelled Shen Yue's infuriated officer. They had spent many hours gathering those soul scales and were angry to see them snatched by force.
”You dare to glare at me?” Murong Yu raised a leg and dropped it on the man's head, smashing his head to the ground with a cold smile. ”You need to show respect when you meet someone stronger than you. Get it?”
”Murong Yu, I apologise!” The underling finally spat those words from his mouth as he felt like his brains were about to burst.
”There we go!” Murong Yu snorted and took a look his victims' soul scale bags, then said in a disdainful voice, ”You only managed to hunt a little over ten thousand ghouls each, with all of you working together? Trash!” Upon finishing his words, Murong Yu tucked the soul scales away.
Shen Yue's nameless officer was filled with rage, but he could only remain on the ground with his head under Murong Yu's foot. Murong Yu kicked him as he laughed at the struggling recently promoted Heavenly Fate student.
