《I Am Overlord》Chapter 582: Unfair Enforcement
Advertisement
The moment Yue Huangquan's weapon left his hand, Lady Shura smashed her elbow into his stomach and grabbed his arm and slammed him onto the ground.
Bang!
The impact confused and disoriented Yue Huangquan, and before he could react, a dagger appeared in Lady Shura's hand. She showed no mercy and swept the dagger at his arm.
"AHHH!"
Yue Huangquan wasn't given any chance to react. Just like that, he lost an arm. The pain caused him to wail endlessly. Although he was stronger than Lady Shura, the combination of his carelessness, the close distance between him and Lady Shura, and him not expecting Lady Shura to be so ruthless had caused him to suffer greatly.
Xiang Shaoyun shot Lady Shura a praising look before shifting his gaze back on Yi Xuan and company. They were greatly frightened. Without any hesitation, they started fleeing the villa. Their confidence had been completely destroyed. They had no courage to stand up against Xiang Shaoyun.
"Like I said, all of you have to leave behind an arm each today," said Xiang Shaoyun as he flew forward at a rapid speed.
Overlord's Nine Nether Steps!
Moving like the wind!
He stirred the power of wind in his body and displayed a perfect moving like the wind stage of the footwork intent to move at a speed comparable to a fourth-stage Emperor. If it wasn't for the heavy armor he wore, he could move even faster.
Xiang Shaoyun had his attention on Yi Xuan, who was both the fastest among the intruders and one of the culprits for what had happened. Thus, he couldn't be spared.
In the blink of an eye, Xiang Shaoyun caught up with Yi Xuan. The Overlord Skyslaying Saber appeared in his hand as he swept the saber forward. The saber streaked through the air, and next, Yi Xuan's wail rang out. One of his arms had been sliced off.

Done with Yi Xuan, Xiang Shaoyun roared at the others, "Stop right where you are!"
The shout was powered by the Tiger's Roar ability, and it instantly spread toward the escaping intruders. On top of that, Xiang Shaoyun's filthless soul also started exuding an intense pressure, the combination of the two instantly rooting the intruders to the ground.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Xiang Shaoyun's body flickered about as he swung his saber several times, sending several saber energies flying toward different directions. His mastery over human saber unity, the first stage of saber intent, had basically reached perfection. None of his targets were able to avoid his attack, and several arms flew up into the air.
Wails filled the core disciples' residential area, attracting many core disciples and causing them to fly out of their villas to see what was happening. Their eyes were filled with shock. They had not expected that someone would have the guts to attack so ruthlessly in the academy grounds, directly cutting the arms of several disciples.
The bloody sight presented quite a striking scene. If the enforcers still didn't react after something this big happened, they would be truly useless. Soon, a group of enforcers arrived. They were all overseers, disciples of the previous batch who had remained in the academy. Each of them was an incomparably powerful cultivator.
"Who is creating trouble in the residential area? Submit immediately or die!" said the leader.
His voice was loud, resounding within the brains of Xiang Shaoyun and the other disciples. There were only five overseers in the group, yet all five of them were Soul Foundation Realm cultivators. The likes of Yi Xuan and Yue Huangquen were in truth incapable of bribing these overseers.
The only reason they had patrolled somewhere else and allowed Yi Xuan and company a chance to create trouble was for the sake of Di Lin. That was because the leader of this group of enforcers was a subordinate of Di Lin's master. The leader had not expected the matter to blow up like that, and the matter had also escalated in a manner he had not imagined.

He had no choice but to quickly come over and deal with the incident, making sure it did not continue escalating. Otherwise, he would be relinquished of his position as a captain of an enforcement squad. His name was Ouyang Jianghu, one of the weakest disciples of the previous batch. After reaching the Soul Foundation Realm, his advancement speed had declined considerably.
In order to remain in the academy, he had become an overseer, helping out with the academy's general affairs. He quickly focused his gaze on Xiang Shaoyun. He did not know who he was, and he directly unleashed the pressure of a Soul Foundation Realm expert toward him and berated, "What are you waiting for? Surrender!"
Not even Emperors could take on this suppression. Thus, he did not think that this newly joined disciple would be able to withstand it. Unfortunately for him, Xiang Shaoyun merely glanced at him with disdain before heading back into Lady Shura's villa.
Xiang Shaoyun was one who had withstood even Feng Huosuo's suppression. How would he fear Ouyang Jianghu's suppression? Ouyang Jianghu was infuriated by the contempt shown. In his anger, he sent over a palm attack. "Let me teach you some respect!"
The attack did not look impressive, but it carried an incredible might. If it struck, even if Xiang Shaoyun wasn't killed, he would be crippled. One ought to admit that as a captain of an enforcement squad, Ouyang Jianghu still possessed some authority to kill. However, before his attack could hit, a different palm attack struck him.
Bang!
Ouyang Jianghu was sent flying like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily on the ground, creating a deep crater where he crashed. Even a Soul Foundation Realm expert like him was completely caught by surprise by the palm attack.
"What is the point of keeping an unfair enforcer around?" Xiao Wei's voice rang out.
Earlier, he had arrived together with Xiang Shaoyun. Instead of doing anything, he had concealed himself high in the air as he observed everything. He had never seen a new disciple so brave before. These new disciples actually had the guts to directly snatch the women residing in the core disciples' residential area.
Thus, he did not mind Xiang Shaoyun's harsh way of dealing with them. Both Xiao Wei and Xiang Shaoyun were people who had been at the Bloodsin City. For them, losing an arm wasn't a big deal. So long as nobody was killed, Xiao Wei did not care.
What annoyed him the most was the fact that the enforcers had been conveniently missing while everything was happening and had only reappeared after everything had ended. On top of that, the enforcers had even attacked Xiang Shaoyun without caring about what had happened.
Although Xiang Shaoyun had not been taken as a disciple by the grand guardians, they had still told Xiao Wei to pay close attention to Xiang Shaoyun. Just from that, it was clear Xiang Shaoyun was still very important to the grand guardians. How could he allow these enforcers to hurt Xiang Shaoyun?

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)
