Chapter 112: Pressed to the Ground
Minister Professor Yu had already anticipated the scene before him; after the battle with Long Fei yesterday, he knew that Wu Tianhao would find it hard to win against Yi Qianmo.
But what he didn’t expect was that Yi Qianmo actually defeated Wu Tianhao with his fists. It wasn’t a complete defeat, but it still surprised him.
However, even though he was surprised, things were developing in the direction he had envisioned.
In his eyes, after Wu Tianhao’s defeat, the disciples of Tao School, coupled with Yi Qianmo’s irritating personality, would undoubtedly provoke the anger of everyone.
As long as the disciples of the Tao School started to gang up on Yi Qianmo, he, as the Deputy Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, would have a reason to deal with these disciples of the Tao School.
“Fighting privately in the academy leads to three hundred strikes. Although not all the participants are my Tao School disciples, they are still a strong part of them!”
In another place, Xu Shiping was also watching this scene unfold.
As the sect master of the Tao School, he should have immediately stopped the private fight, but he did not, because he saw Minister Professor Yu and others preparing to take action from a distance.
“What a clever plan! If all these strong disciples are taken to the Punishment Hall and given three hundred strikes, they won’t recover for at least a few months. In the upcoming grand competition between Tao School and Shu School, Shu School will have an undeniable advantage!”
Xu Shiping thought to himself, but he wasn’t worried. The reason he didn’t stop this situation was because of the person standing behind Yi Qianmo.
The Grand Princess alone cannot change the rules of the academy, but with Minister Professor Zhou, it would be a different matter, as he represents the Pill Pavilion.
“Unfortunately, you made a mistake by using the wrong person for your plan!”
Xu Shiping sneered.
This was his true goal; since Minister Professor Zhou had sent him a message, once Yi Qianmo was taken to the Punishment Hall, Minister Professor Zhou would definitely take action.
As for the words left by Minister Professor Zhou, he did not care much about them.
If Minister Professor Zhou knew that Minister Professor Yu was behind the trouble, he would undoubtedly focus on dealing with Minister Professor Yu first. He wouldn’t have the time to come after him.
Besides, he had already done enough yesterday, and today he was hiding, just waiting for this moment.
“Yi Qianmo’s cultivation level has risen so quickly to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage; the depth of his spiritual power could only be compared to those at the eighth level!”
Xu Shiping thought, “It would be good to teach him a lesson today!”
At Tao School, Xu Shiping is regarded as the best, while Long Fei and Wu Tianhao are considered only above average. The true powerhouses are those at the eighth level.
The cultivators on the eighth level are either in seclusion or out on tasks, and they are not interested in paying attention to Yi Qianmo at all.
Just as Xu Shiping and Minister Professor Yu were waiting for the final result, an unexpected incident occurred outside the cave.
As five disciples of the Tao School charged at him, Yi Qianmo didn’t retreat. Instead, he clutched his sword and welcomed them.
He had already shown mercy, but these people would not let it go. He didn’t care how much resentment they had inside!
If you don’t know how to appreciate kindness, then I will rub your faces into the ground!
“Wind is for movement, Thunder is for power!”
Yi Qianmo, having reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, now possesses spiritual power far greater than before, enabling him to fully unleash the Thunder Sword technique.
Wind represents speed, while thunder represents strength. Combining wind and thunder in the sword technique, the sword energy soared into the sky. Holding Repel Evil, Yi Qianmo charged into the crowd, with his spiritual power causing a whirlwind of dust!
“Clang, clang, clang!”
The light of spiritual power mixed with the sword energy, accompanied by the sharp sound of metal clashing, covering all the fighters inside.
As the battle continued, more and more people joined in, and the screams of agony were endless.
In the end, almost all the disciples of the seventh level, except for Long Fei and the lying Wu Tianhao, joined in the siege against Yi Qianmo.
Xu Shiping’s expression changed from a distance; he never expected it would escalate to this point, with all the disciples of the seventh level joining in.
“They can’t possibly kill Yi Qianmo!”
Xu Shiping began to worry, but at this moment, it was already too late for him to intervene.
After what felt like a long time, the screams in the dust gradually quieted down, and the dust slowly settled, but the scene before them made them widen their eyes in shock.
The dozen disciples who rushed in to attack Yi Qianmo were all injured; none were unscathed, with several sword wounds on each of them.
The first five disciples of the Tao School to attack Yi Qianmo were badly injured and covered in blood, lying on the ground, just like Long Fei yesterday.
Those people all backed away in fear, while Yi Qianmo stood in front of his cave, completely unharmed!
Silence!
The entire seventh level was eerily silent, with only the sound of the wind breaking the stillness. The watching disciples stood frozen as if turned to stone at that moment.
“We lost, all of us lost!”
Looking at their retreating senior brothers and those lying on the ground, they didn’t know how to describe the scene before them.
“One person fought against more than ten senior brothers and came out completely unhurt!”
Under the blazing sun, their hearts felt an icy chill. This young man, who had only just arrived at Tao School, demonstrated with his sword what true strength really meant!
“What just happened?”
Minister Professor Yu looked at the scene in front of him, unable to believe it. “This group of fools couldn’t even touch a hair on Yi Qianmo, could they?”
He looked at Wu Qing, but at that moment, Wu Qing beside him was trembling.
Wu Qing had thought that his strength was not far from Yi Qianmo’s, but now, seeing this scene, he realized that his strength was completely different from Yi Qianmo’s.
Just like those disciples of the Tao School, he was unwilling in his heart, but what could he do about it? His trembling heart had already told him that all he had left for Yi Qianmo was fear.
“Are we still fighting?”
Yi Qianmo stood in front of the cave and glanced over at them.
No one spoke; the retreating disciples all lowered their heads, and those lying on the ground were shaking.
Just moments ago, in the cloud of dust, they hadn’t even come close to Yi Qianmo. It was like a group of sheep bravely challenging a fierce tiger!
Indeed, Yi Qianmo was like a fierce tiger, and his strength was undoubtedly on par with those senior brothers at the eighth level.
But Yi Qianmo was not going to let them go. He looked at them and said, “Don’t you want to challenge me? Today, I give you a chance. Come at me as many as you can, and I won’t stop until you admit defeat!”
Everyone lowered their heads, afraid to meet his gaze. Not just Tao School, but the whole academy believed in strength above all!
As long as you have strength, whatever you say is right.
“Okay, okay, our future prince really has a big temper!”
As the silence lingered, a sudden burst of movement erupted as a group of Black Armored Guards charged in. Leading them was Minister Professor Yu. His gaze swept across the crowd before settling on Yi Qianmo. “The academy forbids private fights. You, as disciples of the Tao School, have openly violated the academy’s rules. Guards, take them all to the Punishment Hall and administer three hundred strikes!”
