Chapter 1985 - Only Himself to Blame

“Ah!” Gu Liuli screamed shrilly. Her eyes were riveted in disbelief at Zhao Li’s remaining lower body that got tossed onto the stage like trash.

Brutal, barbaric, and bloody!

Her eyesight was dyed in blood, and her entire body trembled reflexively!

“Mur-murder! Y-You killed Zhao Li! Ah!”

“It’s murder. Zhao Li’s dead, you killed him.” A good many students from Catkin Academy were freaked out of their minds.

It was mainly that the scene in front of them was too horrifying!

A serpent had swallowed half of his body while he was still alive!

How awfully unlucky was this Zhao Li to end up without an intact corpse?

Would the Zhao Clan take this lying down?

Gu Liuli and company’s teeth were chattering in fear.

“Zh-Zhao Li’s dad, the family head of the Zhao Clan, won-won’t let you off!” Gu Liuli trembled all over, afraid to look straight at the remaining half of Zhao Li’s corpse.

The colossal serpent head surveyed the area before shrinking back with a swish to wrap around Qiao Mu’s left wrist motionlessly.

......

Gu Liuli and company traced their gazes to Qiao Mu’s wrist.

Just looking at this “white jade bangle” the little lady was wearing around her wrist, who would’ve known that it was actually a ferocious beast!

It was too horrifying!

This shook everybody to the core. The 10 thousand spectators in the vast seating area were also absolutely quiet.

Qiao Mu swept Gu Liuli an icy gaze.

Zhou Danjin, Wei Xu, and the other mentors had reached Qiao Mu by this time.

When Catkin Academy’s mentor got to the stage, he glowered at Zhou Danjin and them, reprimanding, “You! How dare your Apex Academy flagrantly kill our student on stage? You have to take full responsibility for this matter!”

“What responsibility?” Zhou Danjin rebuked grimly, “He fatally surprise attacked another person in the back, but he got killed instead because of his inferior ability. He simply deserved it!”

“You!” Catkin Academy’s mentor turned sullen, and tried to vindicate, “How, how can this be considered a surprise attack? It was clearly… clearly Zhao Li, he!”

“Go on? Keep going! Can’t spin a tale anymore huh!” Mentor Zhou sneered, “Everybody saw this surprise attack happen with their own eyes! Let me see how you’re going to justify yourself!”

“Stop wasting your breath on them.” Mentor Hu waved him off and told Qiao Mu and the others, “Go down and rest first.”

Since the mentors were there to settle things, she naturally didn’t need to waste any more energy.

Qiao Mu nodded as a matter of course and walked down the stage with the rest of her team.

Catkin Academy’s mentor was unwilling to just let them walk off like that. Just as he shouted, “Stand right there for me,” Mentor Zhou blocked his way.

“Hey, I say, are you looking to fight?”

“No wonder your Catkin Academy students are so underhanded. It turns out that they got influenced by mentors like you!”

“Wh-Who are you saying is underhanded! Like I said, Zhao Li didn’t do a surprise attack, h-he was only, only young and aggressive, unwilling to acknowledge defeat!”

“Scram!” Mentor Zhou flicked his sleeves angrily. “He only has himself to blame for getting killed in response to his surprise attack. There is no responsibility to assume at all!”

“You! You people! You!” Catkin Academy’s mentor wanted to keep arguing, but the head referee Hong Chi had walked over and cupped his hands.

“Will this Catkin Academy mentor please resolve your personal grudge with Apex Academy off the stage.”
