Chapter 75

"Zhan Wushuang, why haven't you helped him yet?"

Seeing Jiang Yi in danger, the black-clad girl standing nearby immediately said coldly to Zhan Wushuang. The two had been keeping an eye on Jiang Yi after receiving a message from Qian Wanguan.

"It's not that I don't know how to repay kindness. Our Zhan family has always been neutral. If I intervene in such a situation, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the future and affect the high-level power struggle."

Zhan Wushuang shook his head, not moving an inch, and glanced at Jiang Yi, smiling faintly. "Besides... didn't you say this person is stronger than me? Who can hurt him?"

"Humph!"

The black-clad girl turned away, her face flushed with anger, her eyes fixed on Jiang Yi. When she said that Jiang Yi was stronger than Zhan Wushuang, it was just a feeling, and partly to tease Zhan Wushuang. In her heart, she didn't really believe that Jiang Yi could beat Zhan Wushuang, after all, Zhan Wushuang was the successor of the Zhan family, known as the God of War.

"Boom!"

However—

The next scene stunned Zhan Wushuang, the black-clad girl, and the little fatty hiding in the bushes. Jiang Yi suddenly struck with a palm, and a powerful surge of yuan force exploded. The Ninth Rank Cauldron Casting Realm martial artist couldn't even block it and was directly blasted to near death.

Swish, swish, swish!

A wave of gazes swept over. Although there were many people on both sides, there were only about ten Ninth Rank Cauldron Casting Realm martial artists on each side. If Jiang Yi could easily injure a Ninth Rank Cauldron Casting Realm martial artist with one move, the scales of victory would immediately tip in their favor.

"Roar!"

Jiang Yi, using the Bursting Yuan Palm, injured one person without pausing for a moment. Carrying the momentum from before, he struck another Seventh Rank Cauldron Casting Realm martial artist who hadn't reacted yet, sending him flying with a fierce punch.

His realm had advanced to the Fifth Rank Cauldron Casting Realm, and his strength, combined with the black yuan force, had reached the power of nine horses, surpassing a Ninth Rank Cauldron Casting Realm martial artist. It was too easy to severely injure a Seventh Rank Cauldron Casting Realm martial artist with a sneak attack...

"It's you?"

Jiang Qilin looked at Jiang Yi for a while, recognizing his figure and quickly recalling the Bursting Yuan Palm. He suddenly realized and roared in rage, "I'll kill you."

"What are you waiting for? Attack!"

Jiang Yi had already reached another martial artist. One person who was originally fighting him was distracted by the battle on Jiang Yi's side and forgot to attack. With Jiang Yi's loud shout, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly joined the attack.

"Bang!"

Jiang Yi and the martial artist easily injured another person. Without waiting for Jiang Qilin to charge over, Jiang Yi immediately channeled a thread of black yuan force into his calf, boosting his speed. This time, he didn't attack again but shot toward the little fatty, disappearing into the bushes in the blink of an eye.

"Qian Wanguan, I've helped you severely injure ten people. The rest is up to you."

Jiang Yi told the little fatty and immediately channeled the last thread of black yuan force, sprinting away. He had used the Bursting Yuan Palm, and his yuan force was greatly depleted. The black yuan force was almost exhausted, so he didn't dare to stay any longer.

"Hey, big brother, wait!"

The little fatty came to his senses and hurriedly shouted, "Big brother, if you attack a few more, I can give you more purple gold or tokens."

Jiang Yi didn't stop for a moment, rushing straight away and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Did this person really hide his strength?"

The little fatty blinked, feeling somewhat frustrated. This time, he had lost out. The outcome of the battle wasn't important; what mattered was that he wanted to use Jiang Yi to make Zhan Wushuang act. But before Zhan Wushuang could move, Jiang Yi had easily injured ten people...

Qian Wanguan pondered for a moment and then smiled, calling someone over. "Send a message to have the family spies investigate this person. He's only fifteen or sixteen, but his overall combat strength has reached the Purple Mansion Realm? If he's not from one of the seven major families, he has such talent? I must have misjudged him."

...

"See that, Zhan Wushuang!"

The black-clad girl's eyes sparkled as she turned to Zhan Wushuang with a cold laugh. "I was right, wasn't I? This person definitely hid his strength. He can severely injure a Ninth Rank Cauldron Casting Realm martial artist with one move. His strength is definitely not weaker than yours."

A smile appeared on Zhan Wushuang's bronze face, and he reached out to pat the black-clad girl's head, but she dodged. His smile didn't fade, and he nodded. "This person is indeed a prodigy. He only appears to be at the Fifth Rank Cauldron Casting Realm? If he can enter the academy, let him join me. I'll protect him."

"Humph!"

The black-clad girl seemed to have some issues with Zhan Wushuang and turned away, saying不服气地, "Who will protect who is still uncertain."

"Alright, let's go up the mountain to the academy!"

Zhan Wushuang glanced at the battlefield and said, "Qian Wanguan has sent reinforcements. The battle is over. How could Changsun Tulong and the fool Jiang Qilin be a match for Qian Wanguan?"

The battle on the other side indeed turned one-sided. The ten or so people hiding in the bushes suddenly attacked, and the side that had already suffered heavy losses due to Jiang Yi's assistance now collapsed like a house of cards.

"Alright, stop! This time, we admit defeat. Qian Wanguan, come out."

One of the two First Rank Purple Mansion Realm martial artists in the field shouted, and everyone stopped. Since one side had conceded, the other side wouldn't press the attack, as it would only cause more injuries.

The little fatty walked out with a smile, looking harmless. Although his combat strength wasn't strong, the people from the four major families all looked to him, even the Purple Mansion Realm martial artist.

"Brothers, I've always said, harmony brings wealth. See how bad it is to fight and kill each other?"

The little fatty bowed to everyone and then looked at the Purple Mansion Realm young master of the Changsun family and Jiang Qilin. "Since Young Master Changsun says to stop, we'll stop. I'll definitely give you face, of course, this time's loss..."

"Stop looking!"

Zhan Wushuang, both amused and exasperated, pulled the black-clad girl toward the mountain top, shaking his head with a bitter smile. "No one can match this miser in negotiations. This time, Changsun Tulong and Jiang Qilin will suffer a huge loss."

Zhan Wushuang, holding the black-clad girl's hand, sprinted toward the mountain top like a meteor. The crowd around them quickly dispersed, with those still searching for tokens continuing their search, and those who had enough tokens heading directly to the Spirit Beast Mountain Academy at the top of the mountain.

...

Jiang Yi had enough tokens, but he didn't go straight up the mountain. Instead, he found a secluded place and practiced for two hours, only waking up near dusk.

"Whoosh!"

The black yuan force was fully replenished, and his yuan force had recovered by more than half. After waking up, Jiang Yi, ignoring his growling stomach, rushed straight toward the mountain.

It took him more than half an hour to reach the mountain top just as the sun was setting in the west.

"What a magnificent academy!"

As soon as he climbed to the top of the mountain, Jiang Yi looked around and was completely stunned.

The top of the mountain was very flat, and he couldn't see the edge. All he could see were rows of pavilions and courtyards, countless in number. In front was a spacious square, and a grand stone gate stood at the front of the square. The five majestic characters "Spirit Beast Mountain Academy" were engraved on the stone gate, like five dragons about to take flight.

Nearly three hundred people stood on the square, and about a dozen teachers stood quietly at the front. As soon as Jiang Yi arrived, countless gazes swept over him.

"Hmm... This troublemaker has passed the Blood Refinement." Jiang Henshui and Liu He's eyes narrowed, exchanging a glance and secretly marveling.

At this moment, both of them had a strange premonition. Jiang Yi entering the Spirit Beast Mountain Academy might not take long before the entire academy would be turned upside down by him...
