URBAN VILLAIN SYSTEM

Tony stared with an angry look.

The young lady disguised as a merchant lady, clenched her paintbrush tightly in her hand, her violet eyes flashing with a deep sense of injustice and shock.

She had personally seen Tony’s incredible understanding of spiritual colors the previous night and knew his intellect was profound. she wanted to step forward to defend him, but the strict rules of the academy inspector lines made it completely impossible for an outsider to interfere.

Tony, however, did not show even a single fraction of panic, fear, or frustration. He stood perfectly still before the altar, his dark eyes locking onto Senior Brother Zhang with a terrifying, predatory sharpness that made the arrogant inspector’s heart instinctively skip a beat.

Tony let out a soft, lazy chuckle and slowly pulled his bronze test token back from Zhang’s reaching fingers, his deep baritone voice carrying a chilling resonance that instantly cut through the mocking laughter of the crowd.

"You academy dogs certainly love to accept cheap letters and play pathetic political games in the dark," Tony said smoothly, his tone dripping with absolute, unyielding defiance.

He turned his body slightly, his eyes locking onto a massive, three-ton Black Iron Stone pillar that stood near the edge of the line—a monument used by the institution to test the physical strength of high-tier inner disciples.

"If your rigged testing crystal cannot accurately measure the absolute reality of my strength, then let us see if this hard monument can survive my fist."

Before Zhang or any of the surrounding guards could even attempt to restrain him, Tony’s lazy posture vanished entirely, replaced by the explosive, tyrannical aura of a true conqueror.

He took a single, powerful step forward, his leather boots violently cracking the white marble floor beneath him as he channeled every single ounce of his hardened, waterfall-conditioned 7th Class Disciple magus energy directly into his right arm.

His muscles expanded with dense, raw power, his skin taking on a faint, pearlescent sheen under the morning sun.

With a thunderous, terrifying roar, Tony slammed his bare fist directly into the absolute center of the three-ton Black Iron Stone pillar!

BOOM!

An absolute, reality-shattering explosion echoed across the entire central plaza, sending a massive shockwave of compressed wind and dust ripping through the crowd, knocking several nearby applicants off their feet. For a split second, the entire area fell into a dead, suffocating silence.

Then, a series of sharp, terrifying cracking sounds filled the air as web-like fractures rapidly tore across the entire surface of the indestructible monument. In less than a single second, the massive, three-ton Black Iron Stone pillar completely shattered into millions of microscopic rock fragments and dust, raining down onto the marble floor like a shower of gray sand. A strike of such pure, raw physical power was something that not even a standard 9th Class Disciple could ever dream of achieving.

The entire plaza became so impossibly quiet that the frantic breathing of Senior Brother Zhang became completely audible to everyone. Zhang stood paralyzed behind his altar, his face turning entirely stark white as a cold sweat drenched his fine crimson robes.

His mind entered a state of absolute, chaotic terror as he realized that the "talentless orphan" he had just tried to cheat possessed a physical strength that could easily cave his own ribs in with a single blow. High up on the gallery, Julie Faith’s body completely froze, her violet eyes widening to the size of saucers as she stared at the mountain of rock dust in absolute, unadulterated shock.

"What in the world is the meaning of this chaotic disturbance?!" a deep, incredibly powerful voice suddenly boomed from the high stands.

The space directly above the fourth testing altar violently rippled, and a stern-faced, middle-aged man dressed in the grand gold-and-black robes of an Academy Core Elder slowly materialized from the shadows, his profound cultivation pressure instantly descending upon the plaza like a physical avalanche.

It was Elder Mo, the supreme overseer of the entrance trials. He had been quietly monitoring the lines from his private chamber when the sudden, massive explosion of a shattered monument forced him to descend personally to investigate the anomaly.

Elder Mo’s sharp eyes swept over the shattered remnants of the Black Iron Stone, and then locked onto Tony’s perfectly steady, uninjured fist. A look of profound amazement and deep respect flashed across the elder’s stern face before he turned his gaze onto the trembling Senior Brother Zhang.

"Senior Brother Zhang! Explain this immediately!" Elder Mo roared, his voice vibrating with absolute fury that made the granite altar crack under the pressure. "The automated gate arrays clearly registered this young man’s entry, yet you dare to announce that a genius capable of shattering a three-ton Black Iron Stone with a single bare fist is unfit for the combat test?! Are you completely blind, or are you actively taking bribes to sabotage the future talents of my Black Fire Academy?!"

"E-Elder Mo! Please lower your anger!" Zhang shrieked in sheer terror, dropping to his knees and kowtowing frantically against the hard floor, his previous arrogance completely turning to dust. "I... I merely misread the internal energy flow! The crystal must have experienced a sudden glitch! I did not mean to commit a mistake!"

"Silence, you incompetent fool!" Elder Mo snapped back ruthlessly, his eyes gleaming with absolute disgust. "Your duties as an inspector are permanently stripped from this day forward, and you will spend the next three months cleaning the beast stables of the outer mountain to reflect on your absolute corruption! Get out of my sight!"

Elder Mo then turned back to face Tony, his stern expression instantly softening into a warm, deeply encouraging smile as he reached into his robes and pulled out a premium, silver-trimmed combat token, personally handing it to the young man.

"You have performed an extraordinarily magnificent display of strength today, young master Tony Clark. The Black Fire Academy has always been a place where raw, absolute power trumps any petty political games. I personally apologize for the actions of this corrupt disciple. Your 7th Class rank is completely verified. Take this token and proceed directly into the grand arena for the physical combat test; I will be watching your future matches with great interest."

Tony casually accepted the cold silver token, a slow, ruthlessly brilliant grin spreading across his face as he bowed his head slightly toward the core elder. He turned on his heel, his dark hunting cloak billowing in the wind as he strode toward the main arena gates with his standard, lazy posture perfectly restored, leaving the entire plaza of shocked, whispering nobles completely behind him as the first grand stage of his ultimate revenge officially began.
