Chapter 11

A sword was raised and came down with a thunderous slash!

Ye Han’s blood and qi erupted, his primordial power boiling. 520 official website

"Juyuan Realm, you don’t know when to die!" Li Kai gritted his teeth fiercely.

He grabbed the battle sword by his side, and a divine force directly penetrated the sword body. In a thousandth of a moment, Li Kai raised his sword to meet Ye Han.

The battle swords collided, and in just one exchange, Ye Han felt a powerful counterforce. His body trembled, and he was directly forced back three steps.

Li Kai didn’t fare well either; his body shook, and his arms went numb.

He had been caught off guard, and the battle sword in his hand was actually blasted away by Ye Han’s immense force.

"Again!"

Ye Han roared, discarding the battle sword in his hand.

He formed his hands into fists and charged forward like a fierce tiger emerging, ready to tear apart its prey.

The first strike of the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Fist: Fierce Tiger Out of the Mountain!

Battle intent, killing intent, anger... All these condensed into one punch, and the two fists slammed down, causing a sonic boom.

The punch landed!

A惨叫顿时响彻夜空。

Li Kai was blasted three zhang away, blood spurting like a pillar!

"Juyuan Ninth Level, and you can actually produce a vacuum sonic boom?" Li Kai looked at Ye Han in disbelief.

Even with the protection of his close-fitting inner armor, Li Kai’s internal organs were churning as if they were about to explode from the inside. His arm bones shattered into pieces, rendering them useless.

"You, die!"

Ye Han’s voice was hoarse, and he forced out two words, taking a step forward.

His primordial power was nearly depleted, completely exhausted in that fierce punch, but it was enough to support his final strike.

"I don’t want to die, please, spare me..." Li Kai was panic-stricken, his face full of fear.

Bang!

The punch landed, and the violent force penetrated the inner armor, causing Li Kai’s heart to explode, and he died instantly.

Begging for mercy at the last moment? Too late!

"Phew...!"

Seeing Li Kai die, Ye Han exhaled a deep breath, immediately feeling weak and empty, and he collapsed to the ground.

He had already sentenced Li Kai to death in his heart at the Yan Yang Academy!

Before setting out, he had forcibly refined the power of seventy-three second-stage beast cores into his body, preparing for this battle tonight.

Without reaching the Divine Power Realm, forcibly refining beast cores was almost a suicidal act!

Ye Han couldn’t truly refine the beast cores, but he could use his resilient muscles and flesh to forcibly seal the power within his body. If he didn’t act soon, his body would be torn apart by the overwhelming primordial power.

Fortunately, Li Kai was finally dead, and Ye Han’s goal was achieved.

"Teacher!"

Turning his gaze, Ye Han saw that Mo Qingrou had already lifted the curtain of the carriage and was calmly watching everything.

"Juyuan Ninth Level, and you want to fight a Divine Power Realm? You’re taking too much of a risk." A gentle expression appeared on Mo Qingrou’s face.

"Teacher, no one will bully us anymore!" Ye Han showed his white teeth, smiling brightly.

Getting up, Ye Han took the Nine Yang Fire Jade from Li Kai’s body, wiped off the blood, and approached his teacher: "Teacher, here!"

Watching Mo Qingrou re-refine and store the Nine Yang Fire Jade, her complexion visibly improved, and Ye Han finally felt relieved.

Ye Han realized that the Nine Yang Fire Jade should be able to suppress the extreme cold prison water in his teacher’s body!

"Ye Han, promise me, don’t take such risks in the future."

"Whatever happens, life comes first. We martial artists can only have a future if we survive." Mo Qingrou held Ye Han’s hands tightly.

"Teacher, I understand!"

Ye Han glanced at the dead Li Kai: "But it’s also about how we live. I, Ye Han, may not be a good person, but I don’t want to be like them, bullying the weak and fawning over the strong, showing their ugly faces."

The woman listened to Ye Han’s words with a smile, her eyes clear and gentle: "Mm!"

"Teacher, who are the Senior Sister Yin and Senior Brother Feng that Li Kai mentioned?"

Ye Han looked at Mo Qingrou, clenching his fists: "They’re too domineering. Whether I, Ye Han, can join the Wheel Academy is decided by them?"

"You need to understand that the martial path is hierarchical, with the strong being respected."

"The Wheel Academy has a rule that disciples cannot kill each other, unless they agree to step onto the Life and Death Platform."

"But in reality, the rules only apply to ordinary disciples. The true geniuses in the academy are not bound by them. Even if they decide someone’s life and death with a word, the higher-ups in the academy often turn a blind eye." Mo Qingrou explained, "You’ll have a direct experience of this when you join the Wheel Academy. Before you become truly powerful, it’s necessary to hide your abilities."

Ye Han listened attentively, trying to remember every word Mo Qingrou said.

After a quarter of an hour, Ye Han buried the dead Li Kai and drove the carriage away into the distance…

On the morning of the fourth day, as the purple dawn rose, Ye Han and his teacher finally arrived in front of an ancient city.

This city was called Baiyun City.

Compared to Yan City, it was ten times larger, with broad streets, numerous shops, and a bustling crowd, making it incredibly lively.

Behind Baiyun City lay a vast and towering mountain range, majestic and grand, with clouds and mist swirling, resembling a divine court in the heavens.

Baiyun City was built along the Wheel Mountain Range, which was the location of the Wheel Academy.

"Finally, we’ve arrived at the Wheel Academy!"

Ye Han was amazed, now understanding why his teacher insisted he join the Wheel Academy.

An academy that could occupy such divine mountains and establish its foundation, attracting disciples from all over the world, must have an astonishing background, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

The figures walking around on the streets were at least Juyuan Eighth Level, and even Juyuan Ninth Level, and occasionally, Divine Power Realm experts could be seen, all exuding formidable auras. Compared to the people in Yan City, they had more vitality and spirit.

"Teacher, after the long journey, let’s rest a bit in Baiyun City."

Entering the city, Ye Han helped his teacher down from the carriage and sold the lion-blooded treasure horse and the carriage to a merchant who regularly stayed in Baiyun City, exchanging them for twenty high-grade human-level pills… Yuan Qi Pills.

In this Tai Xu Ancient Domain, the currency among martial artists was no longer gold or silver, but pills!

The classification of pills was the same as that of cultivation techniques and martial skills, divided into human, mystic, earth, heaven, and divine levels, each with lower, middle, and higher grades.

Ye Han had heard that above the higher grade of heaven-level pills, there were supreme-grade pills, and he had never encountered them.

In Yan City, the pills traded among martial artists were ordinary lower-grade human-level Qi Gathering Pills, but in Baiyun City, Qi Gathering Pills were not even collected. The lowest-grade pills for barter were high-grade human-level Yuan Qi Pills.

Entering a tavern with his teacher, they casually ordered hot tea and baked cakes, and Ye Han was speechless when he realized that half of the twenty Yuan Qi Pills were already spent.

The consumption in this big city was too extravagant. If the twenty Yuan Qi Pills were in Yan City, they would be enough to support them for half a year.

"Coming to Baiyun City, with so many experts, how do you feel?" Mo Qingrou smiled at Ye Han.

"No feeling!"

Ye Han rubbed his nose: "I don’t know what the Wheel Academy is like, whether it’s as strong as rumored."

"In the Wheel Academy, even a random disciple is an expert, far surpassing the Yan Yang Academy." Mo Qingrou said.

Ye Han looked out the window at the towering mountain range in the distance, recalling Luo Tianzheng from that day and the Li Kai he had killed.

"Not necessarily. If we stand at the same level, they might not be my match." Ye Han responded calmly, a confidence he had never shown before appearing on his face.

Suddenly, a cold snort came from nearby: "Slandering the Wheel Academy, arrogant and ignorant, you truly don’t know when to die!"
