"Am I too low-key? Is that why my students are being bullied for no reason?"

As the woman finished speaking, although her smile remained, an extremely strong sense of oppression burst forth from the platinum-gold holy light emanating from her body, surging towards Luo Xiu.

However, before this oppressive aura could reach Luo Xiu, it completely dissipated with a cough from Tata.

The smile on the woman's face faded slightly:

"Tata, what do you mean by this? It's just a small test. You don't need to be so protective of your student."

"In fact, he didn't need to know who the teacher he hit was."

Tata spoke slowly, her voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable authority:

"Because I am his teacher."

Chapter 130 Battle against a fourth-tier high-ranking opponent!! (Today's battle is awesome!)

Upon hearing Tata's words, the woman who looked like a noblewoman was taken aback at first, and then couldn't help but laugh.

"Tata, you don't seem to understand the situation. Do you think you can beat the three of us by yourself?"

Before Tata could speak, a soft, aged voice drifted from the sofa opposite her:

"It's not the three of us, it's the two of you."

The noblewoman's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

Her face darkened as she looked at the figure sitting opposite Tata.

"Your Excellency Vivian, Tata promised to take a junior member of your family as his apprentice, but then went back on his word. I think I remember that correctly."

"This kid stole the spot from that junior member of your family. Can you really swallow this insult?"

Vivian had her back to Luo Xiu, so her face couldn't be seen, but judging from her voice, she was probably a very old woman.

“I never said I would swallow this insult, but I also never said I would stand with either of you. I can get justice for myself on my own; I don’t need the two of you to help me.”

The lady's expression turned even more unpleasant.

I thought that with Vivian around, everything would be fine, but I didn't expect Vivian to suddenly draw a line.

She looked at the honest-looking man sitting opposite her:

"Mr. Derek, what about you? I heard your student Alger got beaten up and his face is swollen. You can't tolerate that, can you?"

The honest man named Derek looked down at the floor and nodded upon hearing this:

“Alger is a disobedient boy, but it’s not up to outsiders to discipline him.”

"That's fine."

Having found an ally, the noblewoman's expression softened considerably, and she spoke to Tata, who was sitting there:

"Tata, we won't make things difficult for you. As long as your student publicly declares that he used some shady means to win against our student, this matter will be over."

"and……"

She glanced at Luo Xiu standing there and sneered a few times:

"He might have really used underhanded methods, otherwise how could he have killed Kelda?"

"However, using such underhanded tactics will likely expose your true colors soon. I've heard that many top-tier fourth-level geniuses are eager to try their luck with your students."

Tata remained silent in the face of the wealthy woman's constant provocations.

Seeing this, the wealthy woman assumed Tata had backed down, and felt even more smug. With an exaggerated smile on her face, she continued her sarcastic remarks:

“I understand you. I heard you're getting on in years, and it's understandable that you want to take on an apprentice. But you can't sacrifice quality just because you're in a hurry. You've taken on an apprentice who doesn't know the rules. I've even heard he's not from Kanriel. People who aren't from Kanriel and cause trouble in Kanriel City don't have a good ending. In the end, he's just a piece of trash who can't be brought to the table—”

call out! !

The sharp whooshing sound interrupted the noblewoman's words.

As if by instinct, the noblewoman's expression changed, and she immediately raised her hand, causing an enormous, exaggerated shield to appear in front of her.

But her movements were a bit slower.

"Snapped--"

A crisp sound echoed in the reception room.

The man sitting to Tata's right raised his head for the first time, looking at the person opposite him with surprise in his small eyes.

The noblewoman tilted her head, and a long, red, swollen mark was now visible on the left side of her face. Blood was flowing down the corner of her mouth, and her once wavy hair was disheveled.

Her eyes first showed shock and disbelief, and finally turned into an unspeakable anger.

"Tata!!"

She screamed, and the holy light around her suddenly erupted and spread, instantly filling the entire room with a dazzling white light. She looked at the honest man sitting there and said:

"Sir Derek, let's work together to let this old man know that Kanriel is not a place he can mess with as he pleases, and the Adventurers' Academy is not a place he can touch on his own."

"Today I'm going to skin this old bastard alive!"

Upon hearing this, Derek silently stood up, an invisible aura emanating from him.

Click.

The floor beneath his feet shattered instantly, quickly spreading to the entire living room floor.

Faced with the two men who were ready to attack at any moment, Tata simply sat there, motionless.

His expression was obscured by the black mist.

But you could sense his composure.

A great battle is about to unfold in this reception room.

At that moment, a voice that no one could have imagined rang out:

"There's no need for my teacher to intervene; I'll fight you."

Upon hearing this, the lady and Derek looked incredulously toward the doorway.

At this moment, Luo Xiu smiled and looked at the noblewoman.

"I'm enough. You're not even worthy to fight my teacher."

The wealthy woman was so angry she laughed:

"Who do you think you are? Try to fight me."

Luo Xiu wore a smile on his face:

"And who are you? You're twenty or thirty years older than me, but your rank isn't much higher."

Luo Xiu finished speaking.

The entire reception room fell silent for a moment.

Even Vivian, who was sitting opposite Tata, turned her head for the first time to look at Luo Xiu.

She does look quite old; the wrinkles on her face are clearly visible. While she wouldn't be described as old, she looks about fifty years old.

She gave Luo Xiu a deep look, then turned her head away.

boom! ! !

As if something had exploded, a tremendous roar erupted from the noblewoman's body, and countless holy rays of light burst forth from her, bathing her in a white halo. Her wavy hair was blown back by this aura and scattered in all directions, moving on its own even without wind.

"You want to die? I'll grant your wish."

The noblewoman grinned maliciously, and another enormous shield appeared in her hand.

As the shields in her hands gradually came together, a terrifying and suffocatingly powerful pressure suddenly erupted from the center of the shields, and thousands of rays of light poured in and converged, transforming into a solid white holy sphere of light.

The sphere of light was not large, but the energy it emitted was stronger than Luo Xiu had ever seen before. As soon as it appeared, it stirred up a powerful storm in the surrounding air. This was the strongest attack Luo Xiu had faced since arriving in this world.

Tata remained seated on the sofa, motionless, but Luo Xiu could sense that his tentacles were poised to strike, ready to intercept the ball of light at any moment.

Luo Xiu gestured to his teacher, indicating that Tata didn't need to rush to make a move.

He stepped forward for two reasons: first, he knew his teacher didn't want to reveal his fifth-tier strength; and second, because...

This woman is really asking for it.

call out!

The sphere of light fully formed and burst forth from the center of the two shields in the noblewoman's hands, flying towards Luo Xiu at an alarming speed.

Luo Xiu's eyes flashed, and he stepped on the ground, actually rushing head-on towards the ball of light.

Seeing this, the noblewoman's smile became even more ferocious, thinking that Luo Xiu was courting death.

boom! ! !

Luo Xiu's body collided directly with the ball of light, and the burst of light transformed the not-so-large reception room into a pure white ocean. Everything visible seemed to be submerged in this pure white sea and no longer visible.

The noblewoman smiled smugly. With her attack just now, Luo Xiu would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

However, in the next second, Luo Xiu's figure suddenly burst out of that empty ocean, and... he seemed to be completely unharmed!

Amidst the noblewoman's utterly shocked gaze, Luo Xiu swiftly bypassed the two shields and arrived before her.

"Snapped!!"

As if history were repeating itself just minutes before, another crisp sound rang out.

A faint red handprint appeared on the right side of the noblewoman's face.

"Her skin is quite thick."

Luo Xiu commented.

His full-force palm strike only left a faint handprint on the noblewoman's face, which was enough to show that the noblewoman was a high-ranking fourth-level paladin.

"Aaaaaah!! I'm going to kill you!!"

The noblewoman, regaining her senses, went completely mad. Being slapped twice in one day, especially since the two were teacher and student, was an unbearable humiliation for her as the headmistress of the Holy Knight Academy.

She brandished her shield like a madwoman, each swing unleashing a dazzling holy light that left a deep crack in the walls or floor of the reception room.

When faced with the noblewoman's attack, Luo Xiu did not choose to dodge at all, but instead chose to confront her head-on.

The two clashed repeatedly, fighting fiercely in the living room, while the remaining three people in the room just watched without making a move.
