Chapter 87

Hearing Changsun Feihu's roar, Jiang Yi shook his head speechlessly, too lazy to say a word, and his gaze fell on the mentor Feng below.

What shocked him was that after the mentor Feng summoned a member of the guard to treat Changsun Feihu's injuries, he cast a cold glance at Jiang Yi and said, "Why such a ruthless move in a mere competition? Changsun student has already been seriously injured. Let's call off the bet, what do you think, Jiang Yi student?"

Jiang Yi smiled. A few nearby students thought they had misheard. If it was a duel, injuries were inevitable. The rules of the battle platform were clear: injuries were common. How could Mentor Feng be so biased towards Changsun Feihu in front of so many people? Although he was speaking in a consultative tone, he was clearly using his authority to pressure Jiang Yi!

"Not good at all."

Jiang Yi, with a belly full of anger, naturally didn't give any face, and said with a cold smile, "Mentor Feng, let's follow the rules of the battle platform! Of course... if you insist on canceling it, I have no choice but to appeal to the dean."

"Hmm?"

A cold light flashed in Mentor Feng's eyes. This mere registered student was so clueless? He even wanted to use the dean to pressure him? Many students below also changed their expressions. Jiang Yi was actually so defiant? Mentor Feng was still a mentor, after all. How could he survive in the academy if he offended a mentor?

Sasa!

At this moment, several people suddenly walked in. The leader was none other than the bronze-skinned, incredibly handsome Zhan Wushuang. His gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Jiang Yi, revealing a smile as he said, "Brother Jiang, I heard you were dueling here? Why didn't you call me to cheer you on?"

Mentor Feng's expression changed, and the two guard members also looked serious. Zhan Wushuang had only been in the academy for a short time but was extremely fierce. In just three days, he had challenged five ordinary students and advanced from a registered student to an ordinary student. Moreover, as a descendant of the War God clan, he was highly regarded by the academy for both his status and talent.

Such a person actually called Jiang Yi "Brother"? And so warmly? Mentor Feng, who had been somewhat hesitant, immediately made up his mind and said, "This duel is over. According to the rules, Jiang Yi wins three hundred points."

Mentor Feng's yuan force enveloped the two jade tokens. Changsun Feihu's jade token soon dimmed, while Jiang Yi's jade token lit up. When Jiang Yi took the jade token and infused it with yuan force, the words "eight hundred" appeared, indicating that his academy points had increased by three hundred.

"Brat, you wait. I, Changsun Feihu, will definitely repay this tenfold!"

Changsun Feihu left with a fierce threat, being taken away by the guard members to be treated. Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang walked out. As soon as they stepped outside, they saw Qian Wanguan leading four or five people coming quickly. Seeing Jiang Yi unharmed, Qian Wanguan smiled at Zhan Wushuang and said, "Brother Wushuang is here too. Is the boss okay?"

"He's fine!"

Jiang Yi nodded, looked around, and lowered his voice to ask, "This time, it was all thanks to Master Zhan. Otherwise, those three hundred points would have been denied. By the way... is Mentor Feng from the Changsun family?"

"A small matter!"

Zhan Wushuang waved his hand and explained, "As one of the three major academies on the continent, the Spirit Beast Mountain Academy has a magical beast taming technique and is located at the border between our Divine Martial Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom. Naturally, the major families of both countries have to arrange some people to come in. For example, the Qian family has the most people arranged, but any family finds it difficult to secure the positions of the ten vice-deans and the dean..."

Jiang Yi felt relieved. Since there were no people from the Changsun family or the Jiang family in the upper echelons of the academy, he was at least safe within the academy.

"Alright."

Zhan Wushuang, seeing Qian Wanguan smiling and trying to get closer, waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm going to play in the Divine Stele Hall. You all do as you please."

Zhan Wushuang left with his group. Jiang Yi looked at his back and sighed, "The Zhan family is indeed not short of money. Without points, Zhan Wushuang must be spending purple gold like water."

"He is a descendant of the War God clan. As long as he can quickly improve his strength, purple gold will definitely not be a problem," Qian Wanguan nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yi frowned and asked again, "What is Changsun Feihu's identity?"

"A direct descendant, but not one of the top two young masters."

Qian Wanguan's face showed a hint of worry as he said solemnly, "Boss, after you leave the academy, try to stay with me as much as possible. Inside the academy, it's fine. Outside, as long as you stay with me, Changsun Feihu can't touch you."

"Alright, Wanguan, you go about your business. I'm going to meditate."

Jiang Yi patted Qian Wanguan's shoulder gratefully. Although he knew that this little fatty was making a big bet on him and was essentially a businessman, he had already accepted this friend in his heart.

After bidding farewell to Qian Wanguan, Jiang Yi headed back to the meditation room. However, it was already late, and going to meditate now would only count as half a day until the next morning. Jiang Yi felt it wasn't worth it.

"The Divine Stele Hall?"

Passing by the Divine Stele Hall, Jiang Yi instinctively paused. Zhan Wushuang had just gone in, and this place seemed to have a mysterious allure that attracted him.

"Should I go in and take a look?"

Jiang Yi hesitated. Three hundred points were not a small amount, enough for 150 days of meditation. After some consideration, he couldn't resist his curiosity and gritted his teeth to go inside. After all, he had just won three hundred points, so it wouldn't count as a wasted match.

"Jade token!"

At the entrance of the hall, two guard members were standing guard. One of them, expressionless, stopped him. Jiang Yi took out his jade token and handed it over. The guard nodded indifferently and said, "One hour for three hundred points. You only have eight hundred points, so you can stay for a maximum of two hours. Go in!"

After Jiang Yi went in, the two guard members exchanged glances and sneered. One of them even mocked softly, "Fifth level of the Cauldron Formation Realm? Not even a true warrior, and he wants to comprehend the divine stele? His brain must have been kicked by a donkey."

...

"This Divine Stele Hall is huge!"

Jiang Yi walked in and found that it was an incredibly spacious hall. In front, there were six corridors leading to six side halls, each clearly housing a divine stele.

Time was short, and Jiang Yi didn't dare to linger. He randomly chose a corridor and walked in. Inside was indeed a side hall. In the center stood a human-shaped statue, with two stone steles on either side. One was inscribed with small characters, while the other had no words, only a strange and intricate pattern.

"This person exudes such a strong killing aura that even a statue makes one dare not look directly."

Jiang Yi glanced at the statue and felt a suffocating sensation. The person had white hair, blood-red eyes, wore a blood-red battle armor, and held a blood-red halberd, looking like a god of slaughter.

"Killing Heaven Lord, an invincible existence on the continent ten thousand years ago. He fought tens of thousands of battles and killed millions of enemies, leaving no survivors in his wake..."

Jiang Yi glanced at the left stele and saw a brief biography of the statue. This person was extremely terrifying, known as a slaughter maniac, undefeated among his peers, and had killed millions of enemies...

The Divine Stele Hall cost three hundred points per hour. Jiang Yi dared not look for long after a quick glance. He hurriedly walked to the other stele. Clearly, the strange pattern on this stele was left by the Killing Heaven Lord.

What frustrated Jiang Yi was that he examined the stele from all angles and studied the strange pattern for a long time but found nothing. He couldn't understand what the pattern meant.

Half an hour had already passed, and he was about to waste three hundred points. Jiang Yi was very anxious and didn't want to go to the other side halls, as it might waste more time if someone else was there.

"What does this pattern mean? Is it a martial technique? Or something else? This pattern is too intricate, and many parts are unclear!"

Jiang Yi blinked in confusion, suddenly slapped his head, and cursed himself for being stupid. He could use black yuan force to enhance his vision and might see something.

"Hum!"

As he gathered a thread of black yuan force and looked at the stele, a sudden change occurred—

The stele suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, and an extremely terrifying killing aura was released from it, instantly enveloping the entire academy, shocking everyone.
