Chapter 432: A Battle of Pride? Or Protecting the World!

Aisi Desi stroked his chin, but said nothing more.

Still, inside he was thinking that once back, he'd use paid boosts to further enhance his Demon Essence.

Bofengshui Sect was now facing a happy problem.

The Flying Thunder God Technique had already been paid-boosted once, but hadn't reached its peak, so a second random paid boost was impossible.

So where should all these points be spent? Should he use them to increase his chakra reserves, or see if he could pay to upgrade his Big Ball Rasengan?

No, Bofengshui Sect suddenly remembered something.

Better to wait until he studied the Naruto principles and developed the Rasengan Sword, then pay to upgrade the Rasengan Sword.

More cost-effective.

Ou Er Mai Te's lips involuntarily curled upward, his eyes gleaming.

He began planning his future.

The points he held were more than enough to pay-boost his Observation Haki and Armament Haki both to intermediate level.

Combined with the unextinguished Flame Seed power within him, his strength had already fully surpassed his peak.

As for Ichigo Tsu, he was frowning in thought.

Pushing his Vector Control further to level 6 required an enormous number of points.

The points he had on hand were clearly insufficient.

But if he relied on paid boosts... remembering the success rate of paid boosts, and his own history of repeated failures... Ichigo Tsu's lips twitched suddenly; he quickly shook his head, stopping himself from acting on a reckless impulse.

He couldn't imagine what he'd do if he truly committed all his points, yet still failed—Ichigo Tsu shuddered, silently repeating countless times that he must stay clear-headed, absolutely must not act out of momentary excitement and do something he'd regret for life.

"Alright! Let's drop this. The mission's done—those who need to return, return; those who need to go home, go home."

Su Han shrugged, then immediately clicked "Submit Mission" without hesitation.

A brilliant radiance instantly enveloped everyone present.

Ou Er Mai Te hesitated, then said, "President, everyone! You've helped me so much this time—won't you stay a while? I can show you around U. A. High School."

"No need to waste the time!"

Su Han rubbed his brow, his smile gentle, "I'm in a hurry to leave—my little maid is probably already frantic at home."

Illya nodded with utter despair, murmuring, "I hope... I can make it back in time... if I skip one class."

Illya helplessly covered her head.

"No... this despairing world is better off destroyed!"

"Don't be so hopeless!"

Su Han opened his mouth.

Hearing this, Illya suddenly remembered something; a glimmer of hope lit in her eyes as she looked expectantly at Su Han.

"Big Brother President... if I tell my teacher I left to save the world, will she believe me?"

Seeing Illya's pure, hopeful gaze, Su Han ruffled her hair and sighed deeply—he couldn't bear to crush her hope, so he spoke.

"When you return, you can try..."

Ichigo Tsu turned his head away, ashamed to be grouped with the guild leader who deceived a little girl.

A sharp swish—Su Han and the others vanished.

Only Ou Er Mai Te remained standing; Xiang Ze Xiao Tai strode forward and arrived at Ou Er Mai Te's side.

He stared at the spot where they had disappeared, his eyes flickering slightly.

His voice was slightly hoarse.

"The symbol of peace... could you reveal the identities of those few just now?"

Ou Er Mai Te stiffened, then slowly raised his head to gaze at the sky, letting out a soft sigh.

"I'd love to reveal them—but I'm afraid I can't."

"As expected."

Xiang Ze Xiao Tai turned without expression and said, "If anyone asks, I won't hide it—but if no one asks, I won't say it outright."

Ou Er Mai Te glanced at Xiang Ze Xiao Tai's back, nodded, and whispered, "Xiang Ze Xiao Tai... I'm counting on you to calm the students."

Xiang Ze Xiao Tai nodded silently and walked toward the U. A. High students.

This time, these students were truly shaken.

Before even leaving school, they had directly confronted the man who once cast a black hand over the entire nation.

From any perspective, they need proper psychological guidance and training—otherwise, they might truly break down.

... Su Han opened and closed his eyes, and was already back in his room.
