But as soon as he jumped out of the window, Gu Ran caught up with him!
My feet hurt!
In mid-air, Gu Ran took a step forward, striking directly behind Pasi.
Percy turned around and crossed his arms to defend himself, blocking Gu Ran's kick.
But the Painful Kick is known as a strike of superhuman strength, and it's not so easy to defend against. Percy's back slammed into the ground, creating a crater.
"If you don't return the blood sample, you'll get a really bad beating, though I won't kill you." Gu Ran said, but his movements didn't stop; he immediately flashed and rushed towards Percy again.
Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!
This was a ninjutsu technique. Gu Ran used Lightning Release Chakra Mode to maximize his speed and then struck Percy in the abdomen.
Percy was experienced in combat and almost instinctively blocked the attack, but Gu Ran's move was extremely fast and generated tremendous potential energy. He only felt his hands tremble as he blocked!
Despite being blocked, Gu Ran did not stop and used her soft fist to strike the pressure points on his body.
Because of the Night's Watch's rules, Percy cannot use Word of Power, and in terms of physical strength and techniques, he is inferior to Gu Ran.
For the first time, Percy felt he had lost his composure. He suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Gu Ran.
"Don't move, or you'll die and you won't be able to blame anyone else," Percy said in a deep voice.
"Using a Philosopher's Stone bullet against a student at school, isn't that overkill? If we use it, the investigation team will probably have to turn back, right?" Gu Ran stared into Percy's eyes. "Besides... are you sure you want to shoot? If I die, your Gattuso family will be in trouble too. You don't know my identity, do you?"
Putting aside the fact that Kassel College prohibits the use of guns in normal times, Caesar had been reprimanded by Professor Manstein for firing a gun when he was robbing Nono.
Moreover, it involves using the Philosopher's Stone, a bullet with immense destructive power.
Moreover, Percy's actions this time were not honorable either; as Gu Ran said, they were theft.
Therefore, their original intention to impeach Angers could very well have led to the Gattuso family being disliked by students and professors because of the bullet fired by Passy.
Percy remained silent. He knew he couldn't escape now because he wasn't as fast as Gu Ran, but he couldn't beat Gu Ran either, and he certainly couldn't kill him.
Gu Ran had previously appeared at an auction, and mixed-race families all over the world knew that he was from the Zhang family of China, and that he was a rising star with excellent bloodline.
Killing him would be tantamount to the Gattuso family killing the Zhang family's heir, which would be tantamount to declaring war on the opposing family!
Chinese aristocratic families have always been shrouded in mystery, and even the Gattuso family dared not claim to have an absolute guarantee of victory.
Just as he was pondering, Gu Ran took out a kunai from his waist.
Seemingly certain that Percy wouldn't dare to fire, Gu Ran charged straight at him.
Percy instinctively dodged the kunai's attack, but Gu Ran had already conjured a Rasengan with his other hand, and the Rasengan struck Percy in the abdomen.
The Rasengan has no color, so Percy couldn't tell it was a ninjutsu and only thought it was a way of generating power from Gu Ran's ancient fist technique.
Percy felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his muscles seemed to contort.
The next second, Gu Ran attacked Percy's neck with a kunai, showing no mercy and seemingly intent on killing him.
Percy took out the hunting knife Augustus, which was also an alchemical weapon, and barely managed to block Gu Ran's attack at the last second.
But Gu Ran countered with a backhand punch, using the Cherry Blossom Strike to knock him back.
Percy staggered back nearly ten meters before he managed to neutralize Gu Ran's force. Now, he was in pain all over his body, feeling as if his bones were cracked.
"Want to continue? If you show your true skills, it might get out of control, right?" Gu Ran asked with a smile.
Gu Ran seemed to be handling the situation with ease, but Percy must have a backup plan, though the cost would be very high.
“I can give the blood sample back to you.” Percy’s hand trembled, and he tossed a test tube to Gu Ran.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Gu Ran didn't look at the test tube because it was empty.
Percy wanted to take advantage of the moment Gu Ran shifted her gaze and leave immediately.
But to my surprise, Gu Ran wasn't fooled at all; what a cunning kid.
Percy looked up and met Gu Ran's gaze, as if trying to see right through him.
However, when he looked into Gu Ran's eyes, he suddenly felt mesmerized, as if he had entered an indescribable vortex.
His body seemed to have lost control, and he was unable to move.
Chapter 282 Love Counseling
Percy, who was frozen in place by Gu Ran's illusion Tsukuyomi, was surprised. Was this a word-based hypnotic technique?
However, under the Night's Watch's commandments, no one should be able to use words of magic.
In the illusion, Gu Ran still used the battlefield in front of him as the background, making it difficult for Percy to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Hypnosis requires strong willpower to break free, but Percy was completely powerless to do so.
Gu Ran said, "I don't trust you. I'd better take it myself."
Percy vaguely seemed to hear Gu Ran's words. After his body regained its freedom, he found that he had been searched from head to toe.
Chu Zihang's blood sample was taken away by Gu Ran.
He took a step forward, seemingly wanting to continue fighting, but then felt a sharp pain in his neck.
The skin on his neck was cut.
This cut was skillfully made; it only broke the skin without damaging blood vessels or the trachea.
But there was still a lot of blood.
This was Gu Ran's warning to Percy; just a moment ago, he had the ability to kill him.
But they didn't kill him, so Percy could be said to have escaped with his life.
Gu Ran put away the blood sample and gently wiped the bloodstains off the kuwushang Pasi with a handkerchief.
He was very satisfied with the effect of the 'Tsukuyomi' just now. With just a moment of eye contact, Percy was caught off guard and fell for it!
As expected of the strongest illusion technique!
"Bye-bye, see you later." With a bountiful harvest, Gu Ran jumped directly from the lawn onto Chu Zihang's hospital balcony and continued to guard inside, not bothering to exchange any more words with Passido.
Percy's face was ashen. The hearing was scheduled for three days later, and the entire school had already been informed. It was too late to withdraw the decision now.
But now that Norma's evidence has been cleared up by the paparazzi, and there's no blood evidence left, what should she do?
He sighed. It seemed he could only rely on witnesses. Caesar, as Chu Zihang's mortal enemy, would definitely come to testify.
*……*……*
In the ward, Chu Zihang was already soundly asleep.
Gu Ran sat in the chair and submitted Chu Zihang and Percy's blood samples to the system.
[Reward: Chakra +4, Current Chakra Total: 50 cards]
[Current progress of unlocking the Immortal Body is 45%]
[Progress in unlocking the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan: 5/48]
[Current progress of unlocking Susanoo: 5/12]
Logically speaking, Chu Zihang had already undergone a blood transfusion by Angers, so the blood in his body shouldn't be high-energy blood.
However, the system seemed to recognize people but not blood, and the rewards extracted from Chu Zihang were still distributed according to the previous reward standards.
After receiving the reward, Gu Ran rubbed his temples. He had just used Tsukuyomi, and the energy expenditure was quite high.
Tsukuyomi is so useful!
The battlefield is ever-changing; if the enemy is distracted for even a moment, they will lose their life!
However, the most powerful illusions require a vast amount of mental energy to support them and cannot be used casually.
His biggest worry is the risk of going blind.
However, as long as one can evolve to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, there is no need to worry about going blind.
Gu Ran stayed in Chu Zihang's room that night.
Early in the morning, Fingel and his paparazzi completed Chu Zihang's whitewashing work.
As previously agreed, Lancelot paid Fingel the final payment.
Fingel suggested that the Lionheart Society members visit Chu Zihang.
Today, Chu Zihang's intensive care unit will be open to visitors, so the members of the Lionheart Society bought a greenhouse full of tulips and placed them in the ward.
Tulips alone were a bit too plain, so Lancelot bought some red roses and placed them by his bedside.
"Senior brother, you look like a gigolo walking the flower path in Japan now," Gu Ran laughed.
Chu Zihang could only smile and nod helplessly, after all, this was the good intention of the Lionheart Society's underlings.
However, the senior student with the facial paralysis also had a very formulaic smile, as if he had practiced in front of the mirror for a long time before he could achieve this flawless smile.
One after another, people from other departments and clubs in the school also came to visit, such as Professor Schneider, who represented the executive department, and people from other clubs.
Clearly, these people were organized and their purpose was to demonstrate to the investigation team and prove that Chu Zihang was a kind and good student.
Amidst the bustling crowd, only one person sat by the window in a daze. Gu Ran moved a chair over and sat down beside him.
"Let me lean on your shoulder for a bit. I didn't sleep a wink last night while keeping watch," Gu Ran said to the sentimental Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei usually says things like, "I'm not gay, don't bother me!"
But he was in a low mood today.
This morning, Fingel told Lu Mingfei about Caesar's proposal to Nono.
Lu Mingfei recalled that a year ago, Gu Ran said that Nuonuo would undergo 'bride training'. At that time, he thought that Nuonuo was still a student and it wouldn't be that fast. She should at least graduate first.
As Gu Ran predicted, Caesar did indeed propose this year.
Gu Ran didn't care what he was thinking, and simply put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.
I didn't sleep well last night because I had to keep watch.
After all the visitors from the school had left, only three people remained in the ward.
Lu Mingfei was the first to react. The three grown men were in a somewhat awkward situation. He gently woke Gu Ran, who stood up and stretched.
He looked at the two silent people and laughed, "There are only two reasons why a man is silent: one is his career, and the other is his love. Since your careers haven't even started yet, it must be because of your love!"
