Chapter 123: Bringing Shame Upon Oneself?

Yi Qianmo went to knock on the door of the eighth floor, and soon the various forces in the inner mansion learned of it. The first to get the news were Yu Mou and Minister Professor Zhou.

The two reacted almost the same, not understanding why Yi Qianmo would want to humiliate himself.

"The higher the talent, the smaller the capacity for failure, which is normal."

Minister Professor Zhou thought to himself, "A little hardship will be good for him."

Yu Mou thought the same as Minister Professor Zhou, not believing that Yi Qianmo could really take revenge by challenging again after losing in the morning.

They felt that Yi Qianmo was narrow-minded and could not accept the fact of his defeat.

"This will be interesting!" Yu Mou said with a smile. "Go to Tao School and tell me as soon as you get any news."

Wu Qing hurried to Tao School right away.

At the same time, Xu Shiping on the mountain top received the news but frowned. He already knew what happened in the morning and was very satisfied with Wang Jun’s answer to him.

Although he did not confront directly, he still suppressed Yi Qianmo’s arrogance, and this matter ended like this, which was the best outcome.

But he did not expect that Yi Qianmo, after being defeated in the morning, would come to knock on the door in the afternoon.

"If something happens… I am afraid I would get in trouble too!"

Xu Shiping decided to take action himself.

It wasn’t that he was afraid Yi Qianmo could regain his honor, but that he feared Yi Qianmo would anger Wang Jun and get killed by him.

At that time, Wang Jun would be protected by the Deputy Mansion Master, but he had no one to protect him. Minister Professor Zhou was determined to take his anger out on him, and he would be helpless.

Meanwhile, Yi Qianmo arrived in front of Wang Jun’s cave, and behind him, hundreds of people had already gathered.

"Do you think he really dares to knock on the door?"

Someone questioned.

"If he hid away, no one would say anything to him. But the problem is, he has come out, and if he doesn’t knock on the door, how will he continue to get by at Tianyuan Academy in the future?"

"To lose reason for the sake of pride makes one a bit narrow-minded. Even with exceptional talent, it can easily lead to failure."

The crowd began to whisper among themselves.

Just then, Yi Qianmo stepped forward and knocked on the door of the cave, but the people present were not surprised; instead, they admired Yi Qianmo’s boldness, as this was clearly not a choice a normal person would make.

After a short while, the door opened, and Wang Jun walked out. When he saw a crowd watching, he frowned, but his gaze quickly landed on Yi Qianmo.

"You really aren’t afraid of death, daring to knock on my door!"

Wang Jun was indeed a bit surprised, but a look of disdain quickly appeared on his face. "That’s commendable courage!"

"Enough of the nonsense!"

Yi Qianmo said, "Disciple of the Tao School, Yi Qianmo, knocking on the door to challenge you!"

Hearing this, Wang Jun felt a bit angry because Yi Qianmo’s attitude at this moment was almost exactly like his before.

But this made him want to laugh, and he said, "Kid, you don’t really think you can repeat what happened to you this morning like I did, do you?"

"Can I do it? I’ll only know if I try!"

Yi Qianmo immediately drew his sword, Repel Evil, focused his spiritual power, and shouted, "Wind is the movement, Thunder is the power!"

The same two-word sword technique that Yi Qianmo used now was much more terrifying than in the morning. As he moved, his spiritual power burst forth with a roar of a fierce wind and a might like thunder.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The three strikes came down in quick succession, and Wang Jun managed to block them with his sword, but he was pushed back several steps by the force of the blows.

Only then did he realize how serious the situation was; he discovered that Yi Qianmo was much stronger now than in the morning.

"You actually reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Is that why you are confident enough to challenge me?"

Wang Jun stared at Yi Qianmo. Besides surprise, there was more sarcasm on his face. "Unfortunately, to me, there is not much difference between being one level higher or lower. I can still crush you!"

"Then why don’t you try!"

Yi Qianmo attacked again with his sword. The Wind Word Sword Technique made him move with incredible grace, and his speed was astonishing.

In contrast, the Thunder Word Sword Technique was powerful and fierce, gathering spiritual power in the sword. At the moment of impact, all the spiritual power erupted, pouring onto the opponent’s weapon.

It was like being struck by five thunders.

"Eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage! He… he was only at the sixth level when he entered the academy. In just a few days, he actually… he actually crossed two levels to reach the eighth level!"

"What’s so surprising? He has Minister Professor Zhou backing him, so getting pills to increase his level is not difficult. However, in the academy, unless you are at the Foundation Establishment Stage, advancing one or two small levels won’t change much."

"Yes, Yi Qianmo is being too reckless. He thinks that after advancing one level, he can overpower Senior Brother Wang Jun, not knowing that they all practice the Yandang Formula, and the key is compressing spiritual power. Senior Brother Wang Jun’s Yandang Formula is already at the ninth level, right?"

"If he forces himself to advance like this, his foundation may not be stable. If he loses, there is even a risk of Qi deviation!"

Although they were surprised by how quickly Yi Qianmo had improved, they did not believe in him.

But they did not know that Yi Qianmo was using the Body Origin Fixing Pill.

This pill is considered the best in the Qi Refining Stage.

The higher the quality of the pill, the greater the boost to spiritual power; combined with Yi Qianmo’s sword energy training and his Chaotic Sword Body, there would be no issue with an unstable foundation. Just as he finished speaking, the situation on the battlefield changed. Wang Jun drew his sword and fought alongside Yi Qianmo, standing firm while continuously blocking Yi Qianmo’s sword strikes.

Meanwhile, Yi Qianmo moved incredibly fast, creating countless afterimages that surrounded Wang Jun completely.

The onlookers felt their blood boil; although Yi Qianmo acted irrationally, his power was far from weak, especially Wu Tianhao.

He sensed that Yi Qianmo’s strength had not just increased slightly but had risen significantly, leaving him far behind.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was deafening; when the Wind Word Sword and Thunder Word Sword Technique were used together, their power reached the peak that Yi Qianmo could currently unleash.

"Such a swift attack must be using up spiritual power very quickly; if this wave continues, Yi Qianmo is likely to lose!"

In a battle of the same level, if you take the first move with such a fast attack, it becomes very hard to turn the tables once you’ve suppressed your opponent.

But this is not a battle of the same level; to them, Wang Jun’s strength far exceeds Yi Qianmo’s, and such an attack would only drain his own spiritual power.

However, they did not know that after dozens of rounds, Yi Qianmo had only used up ten percent of his spiritual power.

Wang Jun, who was being suppressed, did not look well; he realized that the Yi Qianmo from this morning and the Yi Qianmo now were two different people.

Yi Qianmo’s sword was so fast that it made him feel a bit breathless; if he hesitated for just a moment, he could easily be wounded by the sword.

But speed is not the scariest part; it is the power that bursts from Yi Qianmo’s sword that is truly frightening; each time he swung it, it made Wang Jun’s hands tingle from the impact.

Just as he began to gather his spiritual power on his blade, Yi Qianmo’s sword fell immediately, instantly shattering the spiritual power he had attached.

When everyone thought he was waiting for Yi Qianmo’s strongest wave to pass so he could quickly counterattack, the truth was that he had no ability to fight back at all.

Spiritual power cannot attach to the blade, so even if he fights back, he cannot pose any threat to Yi Qianmo.

"This guy can’t be this precise; it must be his over-the-top performance in anger. I have to wait until his spiritual power runs out or look for a chance to counterattack!"

Wang Jun thought to himself.

He thought the same as everyone else present; after all, Yi Qianmo was only eighteen years old. Unless he had been fighting since he was born, it was impossible for him to develop such a terrifying talent in battle and calculate the moment his opponent’s spiritual power could not gather.
