"Breaking news, breaking news!" A voice echoed through the classroom of Class 1 at Zhongyun High School, causing an immediate uproar among the students.
The viral video circulating online had reached their screens, igniting a whirlwind of emotions that couldn't be contained.
"Oh my god, it's the Flying Sword!"
"Who is Little Ya's brother?"
"Those eight people, they don't look like good people. It's dangerous!"
Tang Xiaoyu watched the footage with wide eyes, feeling a mixture of nervousness and excitement. Her heart raced with worry for Su Jing's safety, yet a thrill surged through her as she recognized the familiar movements of the flying sword.
The anonymous hero who had saved her with a flying knife before— she was now almost certain it was Su Jing.
She had some suspicions before, piecing together fragments of evidence, such as the commendation letter from Wang Xiao to Su Jing. But mere conjecture wasn't enough to solidify her belief without witnessing something real firsthand.
Quickly grabbing her phone, Tang Xiaoyu dialed her brother, Tang Yi, who promptly answered the call. Bursting with excitement, she exclaimed, "Brother, have you seen the news? Brother Jing..."
"I've seen it, I've seen it. Brother Jing must be the same person as the Little Li Flying Dagger who saved us back then. There can't be a second person in the world who can make a flying knife turn like that," Tang Yi responded, sharing her elation.
Confirming the identity of their savior filled him with joy and witnessing Su Jing's remarkable display of sword control felt like watching an awe-inspiring movie.
As Wang Siya's eyes fixated on the news, her mind went blank with astonishment.
"Who exactly is Brother Jing?" Yin Ningning, Cheng Shiyao, Zou Xue, and the others stood frozen in disbelief. They had always sensed Su Jing's extraordinary nature, but this revelation pushed their understanding to new heights.
At the headquarters of the Galactic Corporation Group, Wang Zhuo, Zheng Nan, Wei Xiaoxuan, and their colleagues sat in stunned silence, unable to utter a single word as they weather the video.
Worries for Su Jing's safety gnawed at Wang Zhuo, leaving him uncertain about how to assist him. He promptly contacted the Wang Family in the Capital City, seeking their guidance.
Wang Xuanji, Wang Jun, and Wang Zheng, the members of the Wang Family, found themselves equally bewildered upon witnessing the news. Their long-standing belief in Su Jing's uniqueness was now shattered, causing their worldview, built over decades, to crumble before their eyes.
"Oh my god, could Brother Jing be an immortal?" Qin Xulan's excitement soared at the thought.
"I've always had this feeling that Brother Jing isn't an ordinary person. My instincts were right," Liu Qing murmured, her gaze fixed on the news. She felt immensely fortunate to have Su Jing in her life— a blessing beyond measure.
In Su Family Village, tension gripped the air, compelling everyone to gather spontaneously in the Ancestral Hall for urgent discussions. Su Jing had become the village's pillar of strength, and a sense of deep concern pervaded their thoughts during this momentous event.
"Zhenhong, can you contact Zhenyue?" Old Village Chief Su Chaoqun inquired, his voice laden with worry.
"I've been trying, but I can't reach her," Su Zhenhong replied anxiously. The circulating video had only featured Su Jing, leaving Su Zhenyue, Ye Qin, Su Ya, and Shi Qing shrouded in mystery.
"We don't know the current situation," Zhao Mengxiang fretted, sharing the collective anxiety. Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, Su Hu, and the other companions who had stood by Su Jing's side also congregated there, their hearts burdened with helplessness. There was nothing they could do at this moment but wait and worry.
"Still no luck reaching them. We've been calling Qingqing repeatedly, but there's no response," Shi Qing's father, Shi Guanglu, and mother, Liu Xuanfeng, were on the verge of tears as they spoke, imagining the worst.
They had always been content with Su Jing as their son-in-law, but for the first time, a trace of dissatisfaction crept into their hearts. It seemed as though Su Jing had placed their daughter in grave danger.
Even Shi Qing's usually carefree younger brother, Shi Yun, harbored a deep affection for his sister, his eyes reddened with unshed tears.
"Try not to worry too much. I believe A'Jing will protect them," Su Zhenhong attempted to offer comfort, though his words lacked conviction. The chaotic scene depicted in the circulating video highlighted the gravity of the situation. The ruthless nature of those eight individuals was evident.
Moreover, people like Zhu Jianhua, Peng Ming, Xiao Rui, Lin Hao, and Shi Lei, among others who were acquainted with Su Jing, were stricken with shock and worry upon witnessing the news.
Even those who were unfamiliar with Su Jing were left dumbfounded. Individuals who had previously clashed with Su Jing due to his past misdeeds now broke out in a cold sweat.
While they had been fearful before, their trepidation had now reached unprecedented levels. Provoking someone with wealth and influence was one thing, but inciting the wrath of someone seemingly possessing superhuman capabilities was an entirely different level of danger.
The other party didn't appear immortal, but his power was undeniably close to it. It seemed that it would be as easy for Su Jing to crush them as it would be to squash an ant. Yet, they had deliberately chosen to provoke him, knowingly inviting their own demise.
"This situation is spiraling out of control," Wang Xiao sighed heavily as he observed the news unfold within the police station. Their previous efforts to conceal Su Jing's identity as the throwing knife hero would undoubtedly be in vain now.
Of course, in comparison to the current circumstances, the previous throwing knife hero and similar matters held little significance.
"Brother Jing's flying knife has reached such a level," Shao Le exclaimed excitedly.
"Don't get too carried away. At the moment, A'Jing seems to be in great danger. Those eight adversaries are far from ordinary," Zhao Ming cautioned, his brow furrowed.
Having witnessed Su Jing's miraculous abilities and even encountered the Snake Scale Male, they had a greater capacity to accept and tolerate extraordinary powers. Yet, complete nonchalance was impossible.
However, their surprise had morphed into concern, and they yearned to lend a hand on the scene.
Yet, upon deeper reflection, they realized that even if they were present, their assistance would likely be futile. They would likely be as dumbstruck as ordinary people there.
Though the video was brief, they could discern that the security guards who rushed in were petrified, as if under a spell. It appeared as though they were possessed, immobilized, and rendered unable to move.
