C169 It Was as If He Was a Genius!(1)
"Get out of here!"
Chu Yi's voice thundered across the heavens and earth.
Everyone was transfixed, staring at him in stunned silence.
From the outset, Chu Yi had repeatedly left them in awe.
This was Chu Yi.
This was Chu Yi!
His strength, his character, his unbridled arrogance—all were on full display in that bellow.
Who was that?
The Guardian!
A Diamond Level superpower!
Among the entire human race, Diamond Level Great Generals stood at the terrifying pinnacle!
Though these Guardians were merely ordinary Diamond Level Great Generals, they were not to be scorned by mere geniuses.
Perhaps, once these prodigies grew into their full potential, becoming true top-tier beings, they might disregard these Guardians.
But for now...
They were merely geniuses, nothing more!
The formidable might of these Guardians was incomparable to these geniuses and prodigies.
Yet, in this moment, Chu Yi's dominance sent shivers down everyone's spine!
Online, countless women were abuzz.
They perceived something the men did not; these women recognized that Chu Yi's fury was sparked by Lee Zi!
A rage kindled for the sake of a woman!
This was the epitome of such rage!
With Lee Zi, his tenderness was intoxicating.
But against those who would harm Lee Zi, even a mighty Guardian was met with Chu Yi's unyielding stance!
As long as Chu Yi wasn't unattractive, few girls could resist such allure.
But was Chu Yi merely not unattractive?
There was no need to elaborate on Chu Yi's looks!
What girl could resist such a man?
...
"You, you, you!"
The Guardian glared at Chu Yi, eyes bulging, his formidable aura intensifying, gathering force in the air.
It seemed as though he was on the verge of unleashing a devastating blow to teach Chu Yi a lesson in humility.
Alas, the anticipated powerful strike never came.
He dared not make a move against Chu Yi.
Indeed, he did not dare!
A Diamond Level Great General, hesitant to confront a youth like Chu Yi!
This was no fantasy; it was stark reality.
The reason was simple: the Guardian dared not provoke Chu Yi.
He was acutely aware, crystal clear in his understanding.
After all, Chu Yi was just eighteen years old!
At eighteen, he had already achieved Gold status!
He was the Gold of youth!
Regardless of the numerous advantages his family had provided and the assistance they had offered on his journey to maturity, the fact remained indisputable: he was a youth of Gold status.
Without sufficient talent, he would never have been able to reach such a level of youth Gold!
This implied that Chu Yi was destined to become, at the very least, a Diamond Level Great General in the future, and not just any general, but the most formidable kind.
A Genius Level Diamond Level Great General was beyond his capacity to challenge.
Among Great Generals, the disparity was beyond imagination.
Before his own ascension to Great General, this guardian believed that the difference between Diamonds was negligible. However, once he reached that stage, he realized how naive he had been.
Diamonds and diamonds represented two entirely distinct entities, two entirely different 'levels'!
Undoubtedly, even if Chu Yi never reached War God Level, he would still be out of this guardian's league as a Diamond Level Great General.
Moreover, these individuals had formidable backgrounds, which further dissuaded the guardian from provoking Chu Yi.
Of course, there was another, most crucial reason.
A reason the guardian was loath to acknowledge, deemed impossible, yet it lingered persistently in his mind.
He felt that he was no match for Chu Yi!
Indeed, he harbored an inexplicable intuition that if Chu Yi decided to make a move, he would be powerless to stop him.
And if he were to excessively hinder Chu Yi, the outcome would be...
Death!
This was the pivotal issue influencing him, yet it was the very thing the guardian was most reluctant to accept.
He could not accept that the current Chu Yi was capable of contending with a Diamond, let alone defeating one...
Chu Yi gazed coldly at the guardian, who, after his initial anger, had fallen into a profound silence, while the atmosphere around them grew increasingly volatile.
"Since you failed to protect Lee Zi before, there's no need for you to intervene any longer."
Indeed, had it not been for the guardian's arrogance, Lee Zi would never have been exposed to such peril.
Now that you have neglected your responsibilities, your presence is no longer required!
The guardian's eyes betrayed his internal struggle.
He was aware of his dereliction of duty, and he anticipated facing severe repercussions once this assessment concluded.
If the individuals he had previously failed to protect were the three geniuses before him, it wouldn't have been much of an issue. However, the person he had let down was Lee Zi! Her recent performance had left him in awe. Such a formidable Genius Level talent nearly lost her life due to his oversight, and the ramifications of that were immense.
"Student, I've already failed once. I won't fail again this time..."
"I understand you're upset."
"But these are the rules."
"So..."
"Just let it go..."
Ultimately, he decided to step forward, at a moment when he should have remained in the background. The three prodigies from the Chu Family smirked behind him, their smiles laced with derision.
They refrained from further comment, recognizing Chu Yi's stature. In their estimation, the Chu family, if considered alone, was more powerful than any of their individual families. Of course, the combined might of their three families would overshadow the Chu family, but they weren't about to push their luck at this juncture. They could always smooth things over with their families later and offer an apology. Isn't that how it always goes with powerful dynasties?
As for Lee Zi...
The trio glanced at her, their eyes reflecting a chill. They were resolved not to let her off the hook after this incident. They had intended to kill her, and the vendetta between them was now a matter of life and death. If Lee Zi were to grow stronger in the future, they would be the ones in peril.
Lee Zi had to die...
Chu Yi was no longer concerned with the trio's thoughts. In his eyes, they were already doomed.
"Is that the rule?"
Chu Yi's demeanor became serene, seemingly coming to terms with the situation. The guardian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Chu Yi remained composed, all would be well. The last thing he wanted was to confront Chu Yi.
"Yes, these are the government's rules," the guardian confirmed.
Chu Yi nodded in acknowledgment.
