Chapter 820 - 600: The New Sheriff
Although Lin Yue eliminated Xu Jie, who had been hindering her, she did not completely kill him, as his soul remained. An evolver who has cultivated to the Soul Realm can still survive as long as their soul is intact, even if their body dies.
However, as someone of the same realm, she had no means to destroy the soul, only watching as Xu Jie’s soul drifted away.
Xu Jie had only one option: soul crossing to leave Earth and gamble on a future.
But Li Yi did not want to let his soul depart because Du Bai Zhi’s incident had taught him a profound lesson. Some people have such good luck that even soul crossing allows them to survive, and with some fortunate opportunities, they can quickly rise and become a major threat in the future.
Boom!
Suddenly, a silver lightning bolt struck down, accurately hitting the illusory soul.
"Ah!"
The evolver named Xu Jie didn’t even have time to react before his soul was utterly extinguished in the thunderclap.
"Sister Lin, if you cut the grass, you must remove the roots. Since you’ve acted, you can’t let this person live," Li Yi said calmly.
"Killing a student in the Golden Academy will certainly cause some trouble," Lin Yue said.
Li Yi replied, "There will be some trouble, but it doesn’t matter to me. When I first entered the Golden Academy, wasn’t there someone who ignored the rules and attacked me? So I understood then that compared to some trouble, making the enemy vanish from this world entirely is more important."
"That’s because you have the strength to ignore the academy’s rules. People like me, ordinary students, wouldn’t dare," Lin Yue shook her head slightly, feeling a little emotional.
