No one dared to step forward anymore!
Even Qin Wenjun, Chu Yaqin, Xiao Ruonan, and Shang Gufeng, the four prodigies who ranked among the top ten, fell silent. They had originally come today merely to witness the downfall of the arrogant Ye Wushuang, expecting to see him killed.
However, they never anticipated that Ye Wushuang, despite being only at the third tier of the Yuanfu Realm, would display such terrifying strength. From Xiao Jin to Liu Yiyu, he had defeated them all with his overwhelming spirit techniques, seemingly inexhaustible spiritual energy, and formidable sword intent.
A third-tier warrior defeating an eighth-tier opponent—this was no ordinary feat!
From this day forward, everyone would realize that killing Ye Wushuang was no longer within the reach of those at the Yuanfu Realm.
With a high swing of his long sword, he struck down, and a head flew to the edge of the barrier before rolling to the ground.
Liu Yiyu died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
After a long while, the elders finally snapped out of their daze and hurriedly lifted the seal.
“Is there no one else?” Ye Wushuang looked around the battlefield and spoke again. His gaze swept over the disciples of the Five Great Clans, each of whom avoided his eyes, too intimidated to meet his stare.
By this point, Ye Wushuang had become a thorn in the side of the Five Great Clans, and all of this had happened in less than half a year. At just sixteen years old, he had shown a potential even more terrifying than that of Ye Wentian from the Ye Clan in the past.
Ye Wushuang left the Zangcai Valley step by step, leaving behind several corpses on the stage. But soon, the entire Qingyun Academy was in an uproar.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Quan of the Xiao Clan were killed. Shang Shenyan, Chu Budong, and Qin Ming, three geniuses, were also killed. Liu Huan Yu died as well.
Most incredibly of all… Liu Yiyu was killed by Ye Wushuang.
This news spread rapidly from Qingyun Academy to all the factions in Qingtian City.
Inside Qingyun Academy, in the Heavenly Academy’s disciples’ residence on the mountain peak.
Once a disciple reaches the Yuanfu Realm, they can be promoted to the Heavenly Academy or choose to serve in Qingyun Academy as an inner court mentor, or even graduate and be recruited by various forces in the capital or major counties to become a guest scholar…
Disciples from Qingyun Academy are like a brand; any faction would be delighted to have them.
Ye Wushuang, having reached the Yuanfu Realm, was promoted to the Heavenly Academy and was also granted a solitary mountain peak as part of the academy’s provisions.
Within the entire Qingyun Academy, only Heavenly Academy disciples enjoyed such treatment.
The mountain peak was a hundred zhang tall. At its base were spiritual fields where Heavenly Academy disciples could hire inner or outer court disciples to help cultivate spiritual herbs.
Halfway up the mountain were pavilions and courtyards, places where Heavenly Academy disciples could recruit inner or outer court disciples to live.
The summit of the mountain was reserved for the personal residence of Heavenly Academy disciples.
Upon reaching the summit, directly ahead was a courtyard. Opening the courtyard gate revealed a series of palaces, with a total of nine rooms.
In addition to this, on either side of the courtyard facing north, there were several other palaces, arranged according to the preferences of the Heavenly Academy disciples living on the mountain peak.
The entire summit was enveloped in a second-grade spirit-gathering formation, specifically designed to aid the cultivation of Heavenly Academy disciples.
For ordinary factions, a second-grade spirit-gathering formation would be impossible to construct, but this was Qingyun Academy!
Young cultivators who could reach the Yuanfu Realm were all exceptionally talented.
Among them, many would likely become the academy’s future leaders or even a source of pride for Qingyun Empire as they ventured beyond its borders.
Ye Wushuang, accompanied by Wang Xueqi, Xiao Yuan, and Qing Chengtian, entered the vast courtyard.
This courtyard could easily serve as a cultivation ground, with dimensions exceeding a hundred zhang in length and width.
“From now on, you will cultivate here!” Ye Wushuang said with a smile. “This place has a second-grade spirit-gathering formation, which will be of great help for you to reach the Yuanfu Realm.”
Qing Chengtian looked around, his excitement palpable. “This… the residence of Heavenly Academy disciples is truly magnificent. The materials used to build the palaces and courtyards are all extraordinary.”
“But you said we should live here, which is against the rules!” Qing Chengtian was aware of the academy’s regulations.
Inner court disciples and outer court disciples were allowed to stay on the mountain peak of the Heavenly Academy, but they were not permitted to reside at the summit. They could only live halfway up or at the base, where there was no spirit-gathering formation coverage.
“Rules…” Ye Wushuang chuckled. “Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Throughout our journey, have we ever seen anyone from the Five Great Clans follow the rules?”
Qing Chengtian laughed heartily. “Then I won’t be polite.”
“Now Xiao Yuan is already at the seventh tier of the Condensation Pulse Realm, and Xueqi is at the sixth tier. Only I am still at the fifth tier.”
Qing Chengtian lamented, “It’s bad enough being left behind by you, but if I’m also far behind them, I’ll be too embarrassed.”
The three of them shared a smile.
Throughout their journey, Xiao Yuan, Wang Xueqi, and Qing Chengtian had become true friends with Ye Wushuang. And when it came to friends, Ye Wushuang never cared about formalities.
“Hey, hey, hey, looks like you’re in high spirits after showing off your prowess today!” At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard…
