All the people in the hall shivered as intense surges rose in their hearts.
It wasn't just because of the words "Tracking Mark" that Song Chi had uttered, but also because of the awe-inspiring pressure that surrounded him at that mont.
"F... First Rank!"
"What a joke, didn't he awaken at the sa ti as us? How could he possibly have made a breakthrough to First Rank already?"
"Damn, do we actually have such a hidden talent in our class? Awakening to Guidance Technique and breaking through to lv10 in less than a year?"
...
After the initial shock subsided, everyone belatedly shifted their focus to the words "Tracking Mark."
For a ti, the gazes of many people in the room flickered uncertainly.
Combining Tracking Mark with a naive young girl, the implication was instantly clear to nearly everyone, and they began looking around the hall, speculating who could have left the Tracking Mark.
Tucked away in the most remote part of the crowd, Sun Yao's heart tightened, and a flash of panic crossed the depths of her eyes.
Feeling the familiar First Rank pressure around her, she knew very well that she might have gotten herself into serious trouble this ti.
In her state of sixes and sevens, she looked over at a burly man not far away.
This burly man appeared to be the most relaxed person present, seemingly unaffected by the First Rank pressure emanating from Song Chi.
Indeed, his na was Li Dong, and he had graduated from the First Torch Academy nine years ago, his Guidance Technique having broken through to First Rank a year before. He was also the wealthy guest whom Wang Yuan was earnestly entertaining this ti.
When Sun Yao glanced at him, Li Dong's face, already harboring a trace of foreboding, darkened completely.
However, before he could further contemplate, in the center of the hall, Song Chi, seeing no response, was about to take action again.
"Ha, it seems you won't shed tears until you see your own coffin..."
With that, he looked over to Wang ng Jing and whispered,
"Young lady, point out all those you can rember who are suspects."
At these words, the expressions of many people in the hall shifted slightly.
Song Chi's aning was clear: anyone pointed out by the girl would likely have to summon their Torch Warship for a personal inspection.
However, the first person Wang ng Jing pointed out made everyone's heart skip a beat.
"What, it's actually Huang Lili? For real?"
"Tsk tsk, now there's a spectacle to see. Isn't Huang Lili the one who ca with that Li Dong..."
"Don't tell Li Dong and his people are really engaged in trafficking young girls in secret?"
"It actually makes sense, especially with Sun Yao – her advancent over the last three years has been too astonishing. Without sufficient funds, she couldn't have risen so swiftly!"
...
For a mont, everyone looked oddly at Sun Yao and her group, Li Dong included, receiving many strange glances.
These glances, akin to watching a play, made them feel particularly uncomfortable, a stark contrast to their earlier glory.
Before they could react, the grim-faced Song Chi had already stepped forward, approaching the voluptuous and attractive woman Wang ng Jing had pointed out.
Thud, thud, thud!
The ordinary sound of footsteps now seed to press directly on everyone's hearts, causing the whole hall to hold their breath in anticipation of the response from the older students.
Especially for Sun Yao's group, the pressure emanating from Song Chi was mostly directed at them, and combined with the hundreds of gazes converging on them, it was almost too much to bear.
At Sun Yao's signal, the slim man among them waved his hand slightly, and then ten figures appeared out of thin air.
All ten figures emitted the aura of First Rank, almost identical in form – they were obviously ten Soldier Figurines.
Once these ten First Rank Soldier Figurines were in front of them, Sun Yao finally found so courage and said coldly,
"Before searching soone else's Warship, better present so evidence. Who do you think you are, an officer of the Torch Bureau? Tracking Mark? We haven't seen anything of the sort!"
Hearing this, Song Chi didn't get angry; instead, he chuckled. As those around couldn't fathom his reaction, his icy words once again rippled through the air.
"It seems you still don't understand!"
As he said this, his pace remained unaltered, as if he didn't even notice the ten First Rank Soldier Figurines standing between them.
When he was only two or three ters away from the ten Soldier Figurines, Song Chi suddenly swung his arm.
The next second, an even more domineering pressure began to pervade the fourth floor of the inn.
Ten Fire Peony Soldier Figurines appeared out of nowhere, their bodies glowing with a fiery red hue.
Bang bang bang!
In an instant, the ten First Rank Soldier Figurines in front of Song Chi were flung away, no match for the Second Rank Fire Peony Soldier Figurines.
Only then did his following words co as a belated realization.
"Evidence? My word is the evidence!"
As he finished speaking, Song Chi had already approached Sun Yao and her group.
At his side, a two-ter tall Fire Peony Soldier Figurine tightly gripped the voluptuous woman's neck, lifting her dozens of centiters off the ground.
Cough, cough, cough!
Ignoring the choking sounds coming from her throat, Song Chi's gaze bore straight into the now completely pale-faced Sun Yao.
"Well, are you ready to tell who left that Tracking Mark, or should I say, who commanded it to be made?"
Under the terrifying pressure of the ten Second Rank Fire Peony Soldier Figurines, Sun Yao's group was trembling, the crushing force almost stopping their blood flow.
