Chapter 47: Teaching and Guidance (Part 1)

"Get over here!" Li Qiyi's eyes turned cold, and he said icily, "Since you've challenged my authority, you'll taste the power of my authority!"

"What's there to fear? He's just one person, and we're so many. Charge!" One disciple, emboldened, shouted, drawing his treasure weapon and rushing forward.

"Charge together!" With someone leading the way, the dozens of people grew bolder, shouting as they drew their weapons and charged forward.

"Bang—Bang—Bang—" However, no matter how many there were, it was no use. Before the Snake-Beating Staff, cultivators below the Heavenly Origin realm were only fit to be beaten. These dozens of disciples, like small snakes, met their nemesis. As soon as they moved, they were struck in the face by the Snake-Beating Staff. One strike, and their faces were covered in blood, falling to the ground instantly.

"Bang—Bang—Bang—" Li Qiyi showed no mercy to these rebellious disciples, beating them mercilessly, even when they were lying on the ground.

Li Qiyi's brutality made the other watching disciples shudder, their faces turning pale.

"You, all of you, get over here!" Li Qiyi pointed at the other disciples present, saying calmly.

"Senior, Senior, we, we didn't rebel," the big-eyed female disciple said timidly.

"I know," Li Qiyi said calmly, "My first lesson is simple: anyone can challenge me, but the consequences of challenging me, you can see for yourselves."

"Bang—Bang—Bang—" Li Qiyi didn't care whether these disciples fought back or not. He charged forward and knocked them down with one strike!

In fact, Li Qiyi was already at the Body Cultivation realm. Some disciples had even lower cultivation levels. Even without the Snake-Beating Staff, he could handle them. So, Li Qiyi charged forward like a fierce tiger among sheep, knocking down most of them in the blink of an eye.

"Run!" Someone, frightened out of their wits, turned and fled.

However, as soon as they ran, they were thrown back by Nan Huai Ren. They couldn't escape. Seeing that they couldn't escape, some turned to fight back, but a staff strike to the face sent them sprawling on the ground.

"Bang—Bang—Bang—" For the disciples who hadn't rebelled, Li Qiyi's strikes were lighter, just enough to knock them to the ground, unlike Luo Fenghua and the others, who were beaten until they were covered in blood.

In the end, all three hundred disciples were knocked to the ground without exception. All the disciples were pale-faced. The Snake-Beating Staff was their nemesis. One strike, even without a wound, was excruciatingly painful.

The Snake-Beating Staff was the best treasure for disciplining disobedient disciples, rare in the world. Otherwise, Li Qiyi wouldn't have used it to teach Ming Ren and the others a lesson!

For a moment, the entire training ground was filled with groans of pain. All the disciples were knocked to the ground. Those who resisted were beaten mercilessly, especially Luo Fenghua and the dozens of others. Li Qiyi not only knocked them down but continued to beat them until their skin was torn and their flesh bruised!

After thoroughly disciplining the disciples, Li Qiyi slowly returned to his seat, looking at the disciples lying on the ground and said calmly, "I welcome challenges, but the consequences, you can consider for yourselves. Today's first lesson is just an appetizer! In the future, I won't be so lenient. I won't stop until I break your bones!"

Looking at the disciples lying on the ground, Li Qiyi said calmly, "Since I am your teacher, I will take responsibility. If you have a hard head, no problem, I'll beat you until you submit! Otherwise, behave as a good disciple! In front of me, no matter how talented you are, I will crush your pretentiousness! In my eyes, talent is as worthless as dog shit! Be a dragon, coil up; be a tiger, lie down. Otherwise, I'll crush your pride and arrogance!"

At this moment, the disciples lying on the ground couldn't even get up, let alone argue.

"The first lesson today ends here." Saying this, Li Qiyi smiled and said as he left, "Of course, if you are dissatisfied with me, you can file a complaint. But remember, those who complain will be treated well!"

Sure enough, that afternoon, Hall Master Zhou came to confront him. As soon as they met, Hall Master Zhou said coldly, "Teaching disciples should focus on imparting knowledge. The disciples of Xi Shi Peak are the pillars of the ancient Xi Yan Sect. If anything happens to them..."

"If you are dissatisfied with me, you can complain to the elders," Li Qiyi interrupted Hall Master Zhou, saying calmly, "Since I am responsible for teaching, how I teach is my business. I don't need others to meddle. If you have no other business, I won't see you out."

"You—" Hall Master Zhou was so angry that he trembled. Li Qiyi's words and attitude infuriated him.

"Hall Master Zhou, please leave," Li Qiyi didn't even look at him, finding such a person not worth his time.

Hall Master Zhou was so angry that he almost spat blood. Enraged, he gritted his teeth and finally laughed coldly, saying, "Fine, fine, fine. We'll see how your disciples fare in the assessment!" With that, he turned and left.

As soon as Hall Master Zhou left, Li Shuangyan appeared from somewhere, looking at Li Qiyi coldly and saying, "You make enemies everywhere. Are you not afraid of being killed?"

"Cultivation level doesn't mean everything," Li Qiyi looked at her calmly and said, "Killing someone isn't hard; it's about whether it's worth it."

"Speaking of killing!" Li Qiyi couldn't help but smile, "In the ancient Xi Yan Sect, even if there are thousands of people, how many can I kill?"

Li Shuangyan looked at Li Qiyi coldly and said, "So, you are very confident."

"However, don't forget, you are my sword servant. Protecting your master is your duty," Li Qiyi said, not bothering to explain further.

"You—" Li Shuangyan's face turned red with anger. She had been cultivating for a long time and had a steady Dao heart, but since meeting Li Qiyi, she had been infuriated several times.

Li Shuangyan, a proud daughter of heaven, took a deep breath and finally calmed down. Looking at Li Qiyi, she said coldly, "It's not hard to take me in, but at least give me a reason to submit."

"Bi Qing Body, one of the Twenty-Four Imperial Bodies, a good constitution," Li Qiyi looked at her calmly and said, "Stay by my side, and in the future, I will guide you. With my guidance, if you work hard, cultivating into a Wu Gou Body will not be a problem!"

"Such a big talk, Wu Gou Body!" Li Shuangyan couldn't help but glare at Li Qiyi and said coldly, "Do you know what a Wu Gou Body means? One of the Twelve Immortal Bodies! Throughout history, few have cultivated into an Immortal Body! The Saint Body technique I am cultivating is already one of the best in the world!"

Being born with an Imperial Body was already something to be proud of. The Bi Qing Imperial Body was extremely rare, one of the Twenty-Four Imperial Bodies. The body technique she was cultivating was already one of the best in the world. However, for her, it would take a long time to cultivate her Bi Qing Body into a Yu Qing Body.

The Yu Qing Body was one of the Eighteen Saint Bodies. Once cultivated, its power was boundless and formidable.

"Buzz—" Without a word, Li Qiyi suddenly revealed his life wheel, divine light revolving behind his head, blood qi surging. In an instant, it was like a giant whale leaping out of the sea, his life palace rising and falling. In that moment, Li Qiyi kicked Li Shuangyan fiercely.

Li Shuangyan's face changed, and she raised her hand, holding a silver shield to block Li Qiyi's kick.

"Bang—" A loud sound echoed. The kick was as heavy as a mountain, incomparably heavy. For Li Shuangyan, it was not easy to withstand. With a "crack," her silver shield shattered instantly. Although she blocked the kick, she was forced to take a step back, and the stone tiles under her feet were crushed.

Li Shuangyan's face changed dramatically. Li Qiyi's kick was not powerful in terms of Dao or strength, but in terms of weight, pure weight.

It seemed that Li Qiyi's leg was as heavy as a mountain. One kick, and it felt like he was trying to crush the world! This was impossible. Li Qiyi's cultivation level was still shallow; his leg couldn't be that heavy!

"The four words 'proud daughter of heaven' suit you. To withstand the full weight of that kick, your cultivation level is indeed remarkable," Li Qiyi looked at her calmly and said, "The 'Yu Qing Holy Heart Technique' you are cultivating, you got it from the Wu Shen Hall, right? A good body technique." With that, he turned and left.

Li Shuangyan was speechless for a long time, her heart filled with shock. Since meeting Li Qiyi, he had always seemed mysterious and unfathomable. But today, the weight of his kick had truly shocked her.

She believed that Li Qiyi's cultivation level would not exceed the Body Cultivation realm. However, the weight of his kick had shocked her. She could feel that it was not the power of Dao or strength, but pure weight.

A person's leg could not possibly be that heavy, at least not for an ordinary body! Why was Li Qiyi's leg so heavy? Thinking about this, Li Shuangyan was shaken!

If a body was extremely heavy, there were several possibilities, such as the Xian Tian Body's Xiong Yue Body, the Imperial Body's Zhen Mo Body, or even the Saint Body's Zhen Yu Body.

However, it was clear that Li Qiyi was not a Xian Tian Body, an Imperial Body, or a Saint Body! If he were a born Imperial Body or Saint Body, it would not escape others' eyes.
