Chapter 331 Who Was Saving Whom?
Gaelan frowned.
Clearly, he did not like Shane Blackwell’s tone.
Finisded
At a moment like this, everyone should be standing together against the enemy. Even if Julian had somehow drawn the insectoids’ attention, they were still academy teammates. Helping him was the bare minimum.
For a while, Caelan’s protection did work.
But the longer the fight dragged on, the more vicious the insectoids became. Soon, most of the students could barely hold their ground.
Mental exhaustion was only part of it.
Energy was running low too.
Worse, there was no safe rotation, no real chance to rest.
Everyone knew Julian had not chosen to be targeted.
Blaming him would be unfair.
But protecting him for a short time was school loyalty and human duty
Once they were struggling just to survive, that duty became a stone tied to their feet.
How could Julian not notice the change?
Human hearts were dangerous.
That was the first lesson any rogue cultivator learned after stepping onto the path of survival.
Compared with outright malice, these teachers and students were already decent enough.
So that night, while the insectoid tide temporarily quieted, Julian left the temporary camp alone without telling anyone.
The Alphas noticed.
Of course they did.
But no one stopped him.
If Julian stayed in camp, they would protect him the way they protected the other Betas and Omegas.
But he had chosen to leave.
Then they had no duty to follow.
Only Tristan Whitmore stood there, staring after Julian’s back for a long time.

The last time, he had abandoned Julian.
His older brother had said he was worse than a dog.

If he abandoned Julian again…
Cowardice made him afraid.
Finished
He knew the road ahead might have no return. He knew if he chased Julian into the night, he could die ou there.
But if he stayed…
that regret would follow him for the rest of his life.
“Tristan Whitmore, are you insane? Tristan, come back! Caclan, stop him! Stop him now!”
Elias’s panicked scream was left behind.
Tristan ran with all his strength.
He was afraid he would lose courage.
Afraid he would regret it.
More than anything, afraid that guilt would trap him forever again.
“Julian, I came to save you!”
He shouted like a reckless idiot.
Just as Titan Longhorns locked onto Julian one after another, Tristan summoned his Mistshadow Crocodile.
Then he saw a scene he would remember for the rest of his life.
One call.
The sword came.
The boy’s clothes snapped in the wind.
The long blade in his hand glowed with clear green light, like a passing breeze, like a lone moon hanging beyond the sky.
Titan Longhorns split open before him one after another.
Every cut was clean as polished glass.
The insectoids did not even get the chance to shriek.
Foul blood and unknown mucus fell in thick, disgusting drops.
Any normal manufacturing-type Beta would have gone pale at that sight.

Some might have screamed.
Julian only stepped lightly aside as chunks of insectoid corpses crashed down around him.
Then, beneath the stars, he looked back with cold authority in his eyes.
Finished
“Got it. Your family’s big gorilla had a sudden stroke of inspiration and sent you over specifically to annoy
me.”
“No, that is not…”
Before Tristan could finish, a sword aura condensed from psychic power came roaring toward him and swept straight over his head.
Killing intent crashed down.
For one horrifying second, Tristan felt cold from head to toe. He truly thought he was about to die.
Luckily, he lived.
His scalp only felt a little chilly.
He raised a hand and touched the top of his head.
Smooth.
Almost no hair left.
With one sword stroke, Julian had shaved him into the shape of an island warrior.
Tristan froze.
The look he gave Julian changed completely.
Once…
he had comforted himself by thinking he lost to Julian because he had been careless.
Because he had held back.
Now he finally realized the truth.
Julian had been the one holding back.
So before Julian could swing again, Tristan immediately began dissecting himself with a serious face.

Finneb
Julian, I grew up with Eli, so my feelings for him really are deeper than my feelings for you. I always/ regretted not saving you back then. I was just too proud to admit it.
Julian nodded. “Oh. So now you have decided pride is useless too?”
Tristan: “?”
Julian looked utterly sincere. “Because if you had even a little shame left, and if you understood exactly wha kind of thing you are, you would not have the nerve to appear in front of me.”
