Chapter 77: Afraid

One person fainted, and the screams became weaker and weaker.

The third-level area was in chaos, with more and more people gathering. The name Yun Yi started to spread quickly. A new third-level disciple, who had just arrived on the first day, even hurt someone without reporting to the elders first. The person he hurt was a noble second-level disciple.

Moreover, this injury was devastating.

For a Spirit Cultivator, having a ruined dantian means being completely useless, with no chance to train again in a lifetime. It is like a genius at the top of the pyramid falling to the very bottom.

No one can bear such a huge drop; living becomes harder than dying.

Yun Yi wanted to use this seemingly cruel method to give Huang Long a fair chance. He wanted everyone to know that Yun Yi was not someone to be messed with.

Huang Long did nothing wrong. Even if following Yun Yi was a mistake compared to Yuan Hui, this mistake did not deserve such a terrible punishment.

Besides, since Yun Yi had just arrived at the Yanwu family, he needed to show his strength to intimidate others. Otherwise, he would face endless troubles in the future.

In fact, Yun Yi had a purpose in doing this. To deal with Yuan Hui, he had to use some extreme methods. He needed to perfectly showcase his genius qualities to capture the attention of the Yanwu family leaders. If he didn’t attract their attention, he couldn’t possibly compete with Yuan Hui at the bottom level.

For now, let’s take things one step at a time. First, help Huang Long get his revenge.

"How bold you are, Yun Yi! Who gave you such courage? A third-grade disciple defeating a second-grade disciple? That is a serious crime."

Lu Shang couldn’t stand still any longer and said to Yun Yi with a stern voice.

"Hmph! Stop trying to pin labels on me. A dignified second-grade disciple cannot lose to a third-grade disciple; that’s just a joke. If you are hurt, it’s because of your own lack of strength. Why is it only allowed for you to harm third-grade disciples while I cannot harm you? That makes no sense at all."

Yun Yi snorted coldly, his entire body swirling with spiritual power, "Lu Shang, if I remember correctly, you were the one who harmed Huang Long, right?"

"So what? He disrespected me and offended Senior Brother Yuan Hui. This is already the lightest punishment."

Lu Shang said, feeling deeply troubled. But he wasn’t foolish; he knew that Yuan Hui had asked him to trouble Huang Long likely because of this mysterious boy who suddenly appeared.

However, Yuan Hui only told them to deal with Huang Long, not explaining why. Now that they faced a tough opponent, even if Lu Shang fought personally, he wasn’t sure he could defeat Yun Yi.

Yun Yi had acted swiftly and decisively earlier, using fierce methods that evoked fear. Even two fourth-grade experts from the Innate Realm could not achieve such results.

Of course, Lu Shang was not afraid of Yun Yi. It was impossible for Yun Yi to eliminate him like he did the other two; after all, he was a fifth-grade expert of the Innate Realm, two levels above Yun Yi.

Unfortunately, Yuan Hui did not tell Lu Shang about Yun Yi’s strength. If Lu Shang had known, he would not be standing here arguing with Yun Yi; he would have turned around and run away.

"Disrespecting you? Offending Yuan Hui? So it turns out you only need such a reason to ruin someone. Well, Lu Shang, you are disrespecting me now, and for that, I will take action against you."

Yun Yi said calmly. He must ruin Lu Shang; otherwise, he could not take revenge for the Huang Long incident.

"Kid, you are asking for trouble."

Lu Shang got angry, and terrifying golden spiritual power began to swirl. Yun Yi’s repeated provocations forced him to take action.

More and more people gathered around. If he did not act in this situation, he would immediately become a laughingstock and lose his dignity.

Bang!

Lu Shang moved and suddenly threw a punch. This punch shone with golden light, and the fierce wind from the punch could pierce through steel.

The Golden Spirit Body is a spirit body with strong attack power and is the most common spirit body in the Lingtian Continent.

Yun Yi stood as still as a mountain, his face expressionless. Lu Shang’s strength was even less than Yuan Hui’s; in front of him, Lu Shang seemed like a child.

Bang!

As Lu Shang’s fist approached, Yun Yi struck decisively, delivering a punch that was just as simple and powerful, colliding hard with Lu Shang’s fist.

Crack!

With a sound of breaking bones, Lu Shang screamed as he was launched back, crashing into the wall of people behind him.

One of Lu Shang’s arms was completely twisted, his palm shook violently, his fingers could not close together, and blood dripped steadily from his arm. His face was as pale as could be, making it easy to imagine the impact and damage Yun Yi’s punch had caused him.

"Oh my gosh, what kind of monster is this guy? How can he be so strong?"

"If even Lu Shang is no match for him, is a true genius about to emerge from the Yanwu family?"

"Defeating an opponent two levels higher is something even our lady couldn’t do, but Yun Yi is so arrogant, making such a scene on his first day. Lu Shang and the others are all Yuan Hui’s people, and today’s events probably won’t end easily."

"Do you think he really dares to defeat Lu Shang? He is a master of the fifth grade of the Innate Realm."

"It’s hard to say; this Yun Yi clearly fears nothing and is determined to take revenge for Huang Long. In my opinion, defeating him would be the best. He always comes to our third-tier area to show off. Huang Long was such a good person, and to be defeated like this is unacceptable. Someone should teach him a lesson; our third-tier area has dignity too."

…

The entire third-tier area was in an uproar. Everyone was shocked as they looked at Yun Yi. You see, being able to defeat a fourth-grade master and beating a fifth-grade master are completely different things.

While many were amazed by the new disciple’s strength, they also felt a deep sense of relief, which could be seen in their excited expressions.

It is clear that Bai Song and Huang Long had a good reputation in the third-tier area, as most people felt outraged by their situation.

Furthermore, Lu Shang, as a second-grade disciple, often came to the third-tier area to show off, ignoring the fact that he too once started as a third-grade disciple.

Yun Yi walked towards Lu Shang with a blank expression.

With each step Yun Yi took, Lu Shang felt a powerful pressure that made his very soul tremble.

Even though Lu Shang did not want to accept it, he had to admit that he was truly not a match for Yun Yi. The clash from earlier had made him fully aware of their difference.

In other words, if Yun Yi wanted to defeat him, it would be very easy.

Lu Shang began to feel afraid.
