Chapter 353: Trying to Help the Shoots Grow by Pulling Them Upward

Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

Hearing that Huang Tingvvei had an idea, everyone subconsciously pricked up their ears.

Huang Tingwei stared at Turk sinisterly for a moment and sneered. “Since we can’t arrest him, can’t we just kill him directly?”

“Kill, kill him?”

Qi Lianjun was stunned when he heard this. Then, he immediately became excited. “No! Absolutely not! This enemy has important information! We have

to…”

“Nothing’s necessary.”

Huang Tingwei waved his hand and interrupted Qi Lianjun. He said expressionlessly and coldly, “If you can’t get any information, it’s equivalent to nothing. Didn’t Commander Chen teach you this principle?”

“No buts.”

Huang Tingwei interrupted Qi Lianjun again and said in an unquestionable tone, “The Purple Star will attack in thirty days. This is already the most important piece of information.”

“As for what trump cards the enemy has and what preparations they have for this battle, it’s naturally best if you can get more information. If you can’t get more information, there’s no need to force it. Could it be that after discovering that the enemy is far stronger than us, we won’t fight this battle?”

“I understand what you’re saying, but…”

Qi Lianjun hesitated for a moment with a complicated expression. In the end, he did not finish speaking. He sighed and silently retreated to the back. It was obvious that he had handed the decision to Huang Tingwei.

However, Huang Tingwei was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he turned to look at the students. “All of you have to remember that although it’s important to know yourself and your enemy in battle, it’s not the most important.”

“If you encounter an enemy that you really can’t figure out, don’t waste time and energy probing. Just follow your instincts. Do you understand?”

“Thank you for your teachings, Academy Head Huang!”

The students agreed in unison. Only then did Huang Tingwei cast his gaze at Turk.

“You heard what I just said, right?”

Huang Tingwei asked expressionlessly and coldly. Without waiting for Turk to speak, he said, “I’ll let you choose now. Hand over the information and cooperate with the detention, or be killed by me here?”

Turk’s eyes flickered for a moment before he suddenly smiled in disdain. “Academy Head Huang, you’re very strong, but your acting skills are extraordinarily poor! ”

“Oh?” Huang Tingwei replied. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his expression. “You think I don’t dare to kill you?”

“I… Ah!”

Turk had just said a word when the eight hands of the [Eight-Armed Vajra] suddenly tightened. Everyone immediately heard the crisp sound of bones shattering!

“What about now?”

Huang Tingwei still looked at Turk with an unreadable expression. “Do you still think I don’t dare to kill you?”

Turk was in so much pain that his head was covered in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth for a long time before speaking again. ‘You, you don’t dare…” Crack!

The [Eight Armed Vajra] exerted strength again and another crisp sound of bones shattering sounded. Turk grunted and was in so much pain that he did not even have the strength to scream!

“What about now?”

Huang Tingwei asked calmly. His calm tone was like a glass of water.

However, the expressions of the surrounding students were already ugly. Although they could only see half of Turk’s face between their fingers, they seemed to have personally experienced the other party’s pain!

The girls turned their faces away and could not bear to look anymore. Yi Han frowned and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he could not help but say, “Academy Head, killing people is only a matter of slicing their head. Isn’t this too cruel?”

“Cruel?”

Huang Tingwei glanced at Yi Han and slowly extended two fingers. “The second lesson I’ll teach you today—Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself.”

“If the situation was reversed, you would be the ones caught now. Do you know what methods the Purple Star people will use to obtain information that is disadvantageous to the Blue Planet?”

No one answered, but many people revealed thoughtful expressions.

Huang Tingwei nodded, as if he was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction. At this moment, Qi Lianjun said, “Academy Head Huang, isn’t it too early to teach them this? They’re still children..

“They won’t be soon.”

Huang Tingwei glanced at Turk, and the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised. “The war will begin in thirty days. The Purple Star people won’t give them time to slowly grow up.”

Qi Lianjun pursed his lips and did not speak. The pondering expressions on the students’ faces became even stronger.

Wang Xiao looked at Huang Tingwei, whose eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, and suddenly understood the Academy Head’s true meaning.

Perhaps these students had experienced countless battles before, but that was fundamentally different from true war.

These peaceful days made it very difficult for them to truly understand the cruelty of war. Even though they knew that the Purple Star was going to start a war with the Blue Planet in thirty days, they still subconsciously did not associate the “war” with themselves.

In other words, these students were protected too well. They could develop a

new habit in 30 days, but they could not be nurtured into qualified warriors.

Although rushing the seedlings to grow up might be counterproductive, Huang Tingwei still used this method to give these children who had never experienced war a heads-up in advance.

This way, when they had to step onto the battlefield in the future, they would not be completely ignorant.

“As expected of the Academy Head…’

Wang Xiao sighed in his heart, but his face was extremely gloomy. “Academy Head, his accomplice killed my mutated beast previously. Since you’ve already decided to kill him, can you let me do it?”

“You?”

Huang Tingwei looked at Wang Xiao suspiciously. It was not that he doubted the other party’s determination, but he doubted if Wang Xiao had the ability to kill Turk.

It had to be known that not only was Turk’s lord level higher than Wang Xiao’s, but his physical strength was also comparable to a platinum soldier. Even Huang Tingwei could not guarantee that he could kill him in one strike. Where did Wang Xiao get his confidence from?

However, after hesitating, Huang Tingwei still nodded and retreated a few steps to the side.

Wang Xiao then arrived in front of Turk, the killing intent in his eyes undisguised. “Do you have anything else to say before you die?”

Turk had many fractures all over his body and was almost in so much pain that his consciousness was blurry. After a few seconds, he smiled weakly and arrogantly. “If you want to kill me, kill me. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!”

“Okay.”

Wang Xiao nodded and took out a long arrow made of refined iron from the [Defensive Arrow Tower]. He narrowed his eyes and aimed between Turk’s eyebrows before stabbing down without hesitation!

Pffft!

With a soft sound, the sharp arrow easily pierced through Turk’s skin, but it was blocked by his skull.

Turk sneered, as if he had long expected such a situation.

However, Wang Xiao was not surprised or embarrassed at all. He only muttered silently, “Indeed, it won’t work.”

“Academy Head.”

Wang Xiao turned around and handed the arrow to Huang Tingwei. “I’m not strong enough. You should do it.”

The corners of Huang Tingwei’s mouth twitched. Just as he was about to curse, he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed slightly. After looking at Wang Xiao meaningfully, he took the arrow and looked at the other students. “This is a rare opportunity.. Who else wants to try?”
