929: C929 Assassination

C929 Assassination

After the man in beige white clothes walked over, he turned his body towards Liao Xiaoduo and the others. Behind him was a red cloak, and on his head was a crown of power.

As expected, that person should be the leader of Superstar Alliance, Huo Dun. Huo Dun was taller than the others by an inch. Perhaps it was because of the heaven's chosen children, or perhaps there was some other reason.

Beside Huo Dun stood a very beautiful girl. The girl gently held Huo Dun's arm and only let go when Huo Dun turned around.

This girl was Huo Dun's beloved daughter, Audrey. She was just like her name suggested. Audrey looked like a little fairy and was so beautiful.

Huo Dun sat on the dignified throne and gently raised his left hand. When he was done, Hades slowly turned around, and the crowd returned to their original clamor.

Huo Dun had only extended his left hand just now, but this could be considered an extremely solemn ceremony. After this ceremony was completed, they would be qualified to be selected as a new batch of Superstar Academy students.

Rather than saying Superstar Academy was a school, it would be more accurate to say that it came from an institution located within the Superstar Alliance. That was why Huo Dun was performing these ceremonies. It was like selecting the brave warriors who would sacrifice their lives for the Alliance.

When Huo Dun let go of his hands, it meant that the school promotion ceremony had officially begun.

Hades opened the heavy book in his hands. He lowered his head and carefully read the ancient words on it.

"While listening to the call of the ancient times, we have finally hoped for a brave warrior who can protect all living things … The starry river will always exist, and our homeland will always be. For the future prospects of the Alliance, and even more so for the new life for all of us.

Hades used a very ancient tone and firmly read the blessings written on the book. After he finished speaking, he started to introduce everyone who had come here.

The first person introduced him was Liao Xiaoduo. After all, his results were the highest among everyone.

However, this introduction used very few words, making Liao Xiaoduo feel a bit awkward. After all, Liao Xiaoduo's identity information was fake, so there were many things that couldn't be verified.

If this was before, no matter what, the Superstar Alliance would not let a fella with an unknown identity enter the Superstar Academy. But in the recent few years, it had changed a bit, because the upper echelons felt that something unexpected would happen.

It was precisely because of this that they accepted talented people. As long as they had true strength, even if they had other intentions, they would still be willing to recruit them.

While Hades was reading the information, Liao Xiaoduo squinted his eyes and looked at the dignified figure. For some reason, he suddenly felt that his power of the river of stars seemed to have received a call.

The power of the Astral River was entrusted to him by the Fantasy Spirit Divine Beast, and now Liao Xiaoduo actually felt a strange feeling of resonance within his heart, Liao Xiaoduo did not know what was going on.

Actually, when Liao Xiaoduo was squinting his eyes and looking at Huo Dun, Audrey was also carefully sizing up the young man standing in the center. Although there were young people standing in the same place every year, this person always made Audrey feel slightly different.

Audrey's watery eyes blinked as if they were filled with spiritual energy. She carefully observed Liao Xiaoduo and had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Hades finally finished introducing everyone. Finally, he said a sentence that no one else could understand, which was the final conclusion of the ceremony.

Everyone present let out a sigh of relief. Finally, they didn't have to keep a rigid face. At this moment, they could also relax a little.

Someone beside him was whispering, but Liao Xiaoduo felt something was off.

Because the power of the Nine Circles Profound Arts had increased, his perception and mental strength had already reached a certain level. The unusual energy changes that occurred around him, or in other words, the sound of his heart beating, could cause him to become alert.

Just when Liao Xiaoduo turned his gaze to the left side of the long corridor, he noticed a black shadow instantly darting in and heading up at an extremely fast speed. It was so fast that the naked eye could not even detect it.

The surrounding soldiers were still maintaining order, they had no time to pay attention to the black shadow just now. Liao Xiaoduo frowned as he looked in the direction of the black shadow. All he could see was the throne where Huo Dun was sitting.

Liao Xiaoduo was shocked. He thought, could it be that someone dared to make a move in this kind of situation? His reaction was extremely fast, and he felt that he should make his own move now.

The black shadow had already disappeared from the corridor. Liao Xiaoduo quickly calculated the speed of the black shadow's movement and also pinpointed the general location of the black shadow.

His strong mental perception allowed him to instantly increase all of his strength. With a speed that surpassed the speed of sound, he directly jumped towards the third floor.

In a split-second, Liao Xiaoduo's jumping power was astonishing. He directly smashed through the impenetrable wall. The huge impact caused him to intercept the black shadow.

What Liao Xiaoduo did was imprinted into everyone's eyes. No one present seemed to know what just happened. All they saw was Liao Xiaoduo rushing directly towards the third floor beside Huo Dun.

The crowd completely calmed down. Some of them even started to worry about Liao Xiaoduo's safety.2

Making such an action in front of so many people was a disrespectful action. If Liao Xiaoduo was really convicted by the interstellar arbitration as an assassination, he would be executed immediately.

At that time, Liao Xiaoduo didn't even have the time to think about it. He had to stop the black shadow, perhaps this was his instinctive reaction.

After smashing through the wall, Liao Xiaoduo used his body to firmly control the man's movements. That person was clearly also astonished. He couldn't believe that Liao Xiaoduo was that strong.

Only then did the soldiers react. The two bodyguards beside Huo Dun blocked the way from the third floor at that moment and stood in front of Huo Dun.

Audrey was shocked by the sudden scene and hurried to hide behind Huo Dun.

"Father, what is going on?" Audrey asked worriedly.

Huo Dun's expression remained calm. He gently caressed Audrey's forehead and looked at her with a kind gaze.
