The Seventh Base

This scene made Prince Charles's eyes look extremely displeased, as if he had been insulted. When Xu Mo faced him, he actually walked straight past him, ignoring him completely.

Xu Mo walked over to a desk, sat down, and started reading a book. Prince Charles's eyes were fixed on him; members of the Royal Knights surrounded him, as if they were about to arrest him.

"If I have committed a crime, Prince Charles should present the evidence, and I will cooperate with Prince Charles. But if there is none, I believe Lucas Star is a civilized planet, and His Highness the Prince will not ignore the existence of the law to arbitrarily arrest commoners?" Xu Mo spoke indifferently, "It is clearly stated in the laws of Lucas Star that the lives of its citizens are above everything else. Does Prince Charles want to take a look at the legal provisions?"

Prince Charles was too impatient, rushing into the Lucas University Library with his men to take him.

He wanted to see how Prince Charles would take him in the name of King Richard. Some things are known, but they cannot be publicly disclosed.

As a leader of the Star System Alliance, Lucas Star has established the Civil Convention.

If it were the Baloma Kingdom where Nilo is from, the people have no rights.

But on a planet that prides itself on being civilized, such an incident would not look good, especially with Prince Charles leading it, likely to incur public condemnation.

By now, many people had started to arrive with inquiries, and the Library's crowd began to grow.

"Lucas Star prides itself on being civilized. Is this how the Royal Family behaves?" A sarcastic voice rang out, belonging to Prince Sal, who did not care about Prince Charles and ridiculed without restraint.

"Your Highness Prince Charlie, has Xu Mo committed a crime that warrants Your Highness to personally come to arrest him?" Librarian Mr. Lucas also came over to ask.

Seeing the crowd around him growing and the murmurs spreading, Prince Charles found himself in a difficult position. He could not possibly disclose that it was his father, King Richard, who had sent him to take Xu Mo.

"Personal grudge, just something to talk about with Xu Mo," Prince Charles said, defining the matter as a personal grudge. He hadn't expected Xu Mo to be so bold; knowing why he had come, Xu Mo deliberately refused to go with him, bringing up the law, making a scene out of the issue.

His heart was extremely cold. With this turn of events, Xu Mo was heading down a path of no return, not even giving face to the king.

"Sorry, there's nothing I want to discuss with His Highness Prince Charlie," Xu Mo bluntly responded, blocking Prince Charles's words.

"Take him away."

Prince Charles's eyes on Xu Mo were cold—today, whether Xu Mo would go willingly or not, he would have to go; this was his forceful taking of Xu Mo, and he would bear the consequence.

But, as long as he could take down Xu Mo and get his hands on the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, it did not matter.

Upon hearing Prince Charles's words, everyone in the Library was shocked. Against such a backdrop, Prince Charles was forcefully arresting someone—what grudge drove Prince Charles to such extremity and take Xu Mo down at all costs?

The members of the Royal Knights stepped forward, ready to arrest the seated Xu Mo.

"Since His Highness Prince Charlie has also said it's a personal grudge and plans to take action against me, then as a commoner, I have no choice but to resist," Xu Mo slowly raised his head and looked at Charles as he spoke.

"Boom..." As two members of the Royal Knights reached out towards Xu Mo's shoulders, a burst of Source Power erupted from his body. A violent storm of Source Power was released, freezing the palms of the two who were grasping his shoulders, and the freezing Ice Attribute Source Power continued to spread upwards, making them shiver as their arms were also covered in ice.

They instantly withdrew their hands, shivering from the chill, their Source Power bursting forth to drive away the ice on their arms.

"This..." The people in the Library watched Xu Mo with riveted eyes, with a stir in their hearts—was Xu Mo also skilled in Extraordinary Power with Ice Attribute?

The two members of the Royal Knights were instantly frozen, indicating powerful Source Power, but how strong?

The students from Lucas University all knew that Xu Mo, the librarian, was not simple; his Combat Power was formidable, but Xu Mo had never really exposed his full strength in front of others, leading them to speculate from indirect incidents.

Seeing the two members of the Royal Knights being repelled, Sterling fixed his gaze on Xu Mo. He stepped forward, a terrifying burst of Source Power exploding from his body, with a roar of golden Energy Light, sounding like thunder. His Armor shone brightly, looking as if he had donned the Golden Battle Suit.

"Sterling is making his move." The hearts of those gathered in the Library quivered at the sight. Sterling was a genius within the Royal Knights, with overwhelming combat power, and was now believed to be infinitely close to the S-level. With such a powerhouse stepping in, how could Xu Mo possibly hold his ground?

"Boom..." A gush of golden Source Power breath swept roaring out as Sterling took a step forward. Many people around him promptly stepped back, as nearby desks were overturned, and bookshelves shook continuously.

Despite the spaciousness of the Library, it seemed somewhat confining for a Transcendent at this level. Just the intense fluctuations of energy were more than this area could bear.

Many around released their Energy Barriers, hoping to protect the Library.

Sal frowned as well. These people were truly shameless, attempting to forcefully take someone away.

Charlie no longer cared. He had always wanted to deal with Xu Mo, and he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. Even if he carried a burden of infamy, he would take him down and bring Xu Mo away.

This time, he was acting on the King's orders. No one could find fault with him.

The more fiercely Xu Mo resisted, the more his father, King Richard, would detest him.

"Boom..." Sterling kept advancing, his Golden Armor radiant and dazzling, his fighting spirit burning ferociously like an irresistible man. The Source Power roared and gathered in his arm, his gaze turned into golden blades directed at Xu Mo.

He remembered his defeat last time vividly. He was curious how much Hunter from the Blue Star Energy Technology Group had progressed after a year of cultivation.

The roaring Source Power wreaked havoc, and those releasing Source Power breath around still felt the overwhelming force, retreating further.

Xu Mo stood up and glanced at Sterling. With a loud bang, the desk before them shattered. Xu Mo clenched his fist, and a terrifying roar of Source Power burst forth, lightning seemingly crackling around his arm.

"Boom!"

Sterling threw a fierce punch forward. The golden Source Power converged into dazzling fists of Light, fiercely lashing out as if they could obliterate Xu Mo. This made the hearts of everyone in the Library race.

Xu Mo, could he withstand this punch?

"Boom..." The wildly raging Thunder Power spiraled out, sweeping around. Xu Mo's arm shot up in an instant and smashed forward. His arm seemed to emit the sound of thunder, roaring forward like a violent storm, unleashing wave after wave of furious howls.

The fists of the two collided in midair. In an instant, sounds of shattering were heard. The Energy Barrier broke, the bookshelves trembled and fell, desks were overthrown, and many stumbled back, toppled by the Source Power Storm.

Everyone sensed a terrifying Power assailing them. They looked toward the pair, only to see Sterling sliding backwards, crashing into someone behind him with a thunderous blast. Meanwhile, Xu Mo stood unmoved, firmly planted where he was.

This scene shocked everyone present. Sterling was among the elite geniuses of the Royal Knights, and yet he was repelled by Xu Mo?

Xu Mo, just how formidable was he?

"A defeated foe, how dare you return." Xu Mo spoke, and Sterling's gaze sharpened like a blade, staring at Xu Mo. A year ago, he was indeed defeated by Xu Mo, and that did make him the 'defeated foe.'

The hearts of those in the Library pounded upon hearing Xu Mo's words.

Sterling, the defeated foe?

When had Xu Mo defeated Sterling?

Some seemed to recall something, their eyes filled with astonishment, staring intently at Xu Mo.

These arrogant words seemed familiar.

"The Prince of Baroma Kingdom, not even worthy to have our Princess stoop to acknowledge!"
