Chapter 40

**Slap!!**

In an instant, a slap fiercely struck Lu Yunxiao's face. COM

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Lu Yunxiao fell to the ground, in a pitiful state.

Now, he was nothing but a cripple, without any elemental energy to protect him, he could only endure the pain, not even daring to groan.

If Ye Han were here, he would find it hard to believe that the once overwhelmingly powerful Lu Yunxiao was now worse than a pet dog, being brutally beaten.

The woman who arrived had a well-proportioned figure, long hair cascading down, and a beautiful face. However, her eyes held a natural arrogance and a deep disgust for Lu Yunxiao and Xiao Chen.

"Please, Wang Senior Sister, plead for me to ask Senior Sister Yin for a Destruction Nirvana Pill!"

Lu Yunxiao spoke, looking at the woman with a fawning expression. Despite being slapped, he felt no shame, but rather a sense of honor.

"Waste of space, get lost!"

Wang Senior Sister glanced at Lu Yunxiao:

"A Destruction Nirvana Pill is a high-grade heavenly-level medicinal pill, how precious it is? You, a waste of space, can't even handle a small task. Do you think you deserve to have Senior Sister Yin go to great lengths to obtain a pill for you?"

"But... but I was doing it for her." Lu Yunxiao looked confused and pained.

"Kneeling here for as long as you want won't help. Don't make a fool of yourself. If you upset Senior Sister Yin, you'll bear the consequences." Wang Senior Sister then turned to Xiao Chen.

Lu Yunxiao was utterly despairing, feeling as if his life was over in that moment. After being personally crippled by Ye Han and beaten up by a few others, he barely clung to life.

But from now on, he would be a cripple who could no longer cultivate, completely finished, all due to his own actions.

"Xiao Chen, speak up."

Wang Senior Sister looked at Xiao Chen: "You, a mighty Sixth Rank Divine Power cultivator, were beaten to this state. Could it be that Ye Han has others protecting him?"

"No!"

Xiao Chen's face was pale: "That Ye Han has cultivated the Hundred Explosions of Divine Power technique, and his strength is formidable. I am no match for him."

"Waste of space!"

Wang Senior Sister spat out these two words again without hesitation.

But her eyes then shot out a sharp light: "What did you say? Hundred Explosions of Divine Power?"

"He... is truly the successor of the Human Path, and he has cultivated the Hundred Explosions of Divine Power to the 28th explosion." Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, his face filled with unwillingness.

"28th explosion?"

Wang Senior Sister's pupils narrowed. She no longer paid attention to Xiao Chen and Lu Yunxiao, and in a blink, she turned and returned to the mountain peak behind her.

At the peak, inside a grand hall made of purple-gold stone.

Wang Senior Sister hurriedly entered the hall and spoke to the figure on the central throne: "Senior Sister Yin, Ye Han defeated Xiao Chen using the Hundred Explosions of Divine Power, and he has already reached the 28th explosion."

"Does that mean he is the chosen successor of the Human Path Master in this era?" Another figure on the throne responded.

The woman was enveloped in a layer of fiery red light mist, ethereal and indistinct, making her appear very mysterious.

Senior Sister Yin, Yin Tianxiu!

The top genius of the Inner Gate's Yin-Yang List!

"Yes!"

Wang Senior Sister nodded.

The woman on the throne coldly snorted: "The Six Paths of the Academy, the Human Path has been declining for many years and is already in decline. Although the Supreme World Record is a heavenly-level cultivation technique, no one has ever succeeded in cultivating it."

"I had hoped that Xiao Chen had the potential to join the Human Path, and in the future, he could be a bargaining chip for me to negotiate with Feng Wu Liang, granting me the status of a Reincarnation Son. I didn't expect Xiao Chen to be such a waste of space."

The hall fell silent. Wang Senior Sister, who had been so domineering in front of Xiao Chen and Lu Yunxiao, now dared not even breathe deeply in front of Yin Tianxiu.

After a long while, Wang Senior Sister suddenly spoke, making a gesture of cutting her throat: "What about...?"

"Shut up!"

Yin Tianxiu sternly said: "Three months from now, the Academy's Grand Assembly will begin. After the assembly, the competition among the Six Paths will commence. The Human Path Master, with no other options, has forcibly designated a successor."

"But the Human Path Master is thinking too simply. This time, Feng Wu Liang is leading people to the Red Dragon Domain to awaken the Human Dragon Body. Given his style, once he sets out, he will surely succeed. When Feng Wu Liang returns, the tide will be unstoppable, and the Human Path Master will ultimately have to bow down."

After hearing Yin Tianxiu's words, Wang Senior Sister was extremely shocked: "Human Dragon Body? How is that possible?"

"Feng Wu Liang is the reincarnation of an ancient god, the true chosen one of destiny, beyond our comprehension. Whatever he sets his mind to, no one can stop him, and he will never fail."

Yin Tianxiu's eyes flickered as she continued: "As for Ye Han, he is merely a Second Rank Divine Power cultivator, insignificant. Not only can he not be killed, but he must be well protected."

"Protected?"

Wang Senior Sister was puzzled.

"He is Mo Qingrou's disciple. Whether we can obtain the half of the Nine Yang Fire Jade in Mo Qingrou's possession depends on Ye Han."

"A few days ago, the Demon Tide erupted in the Demon Ridge. Luo Tianzheng entered it with Ye Zixuan and obtained the core and blood of a Ninth Rank demon beast, but Ye Han took it from them halfway through. They are now sworn enemies. Luo Tianzheng has been in seclusion these past few days, aiming to break through to the Inner Gate disciple level."

"Once he emerges from seclusion, Ye Han will surely die. We cannot let that happen."

Yin Tianxiu spoke calmly, her words and demeanor exuding a sense of calculation, as if she could control everything with a single thought.

As these two women were discussing and planning, at the top of Bamboo Rhythm Peak, in a cultivation field, Ye Han, Mo Qingrou, and Elder Gu Yunzhu gathered.

In the cultivation field, Ye Han continuously threw punches!

Each punch was fierce and powerful, his blood boiling, creating sound waves with each strike.

"Good, Ye Han, it seems you have mastered the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Fist well."

Mo Qingrou said: "In Yan City, you were truly underappreciated. Your talent is not inferior to anyone in this Reincarnation Academy."

"Not really, it was just a breakthrough amidst life and death in the Demon Ridge."

Ye Han smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that his teacher Mo Qingrou was trying to comfort him.

The Reincarnation Academy is filled with geniuses, and Ye Han gradually realized this.

Like Luo Tianzheng, an outstanding Outer Gate disciple, he was not even a match for him, let alone the countless terrifying Inner Gate disciples and the mysterious True Disciples.

Mo Qingrou did not say more but handed a book to Ye Han.

"Soul-Seizing Thunder Sound!"

Ye Han read the four words on the book, looking curiously at Mo Qingrou.

"Soul-Seizing Thunder Sound, a rankless martial technique!"

Mo Qingrou smiled at him: "When I had you cultivate the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Fist, it was to lay the foundation for this. The Soul-Seizing Thunder Sound emphasizes the power of sound waves, capable of killing with a roar like a thunderclap, directly dispelling the opponent's fighting spirit and even shattering their soul."

"What does 'rankless' mean?" Ye Han was very curious.

"Rankless means that the upper limit of this martial technique is extremely high. As long as your foundation is strong enough and your aura is sufficient, the power of this technique will be infinitely enhanced. Conversely, if your foundation is weak, even if you master the Soul-Seizing Thunder Sound, it will be useless and have no killing power." Mo Qingrou explained.

"I understand!"

Ye Han put away the Soul-Seizing Thunder Sound.

Then he asked: "Teacher, I came to see you today for another matter, regarding Yin Tianxiu."

Just as Ye Han was about to continue, he suddenly felt the Bamboo Rhythm Peak shake violently.

Elder Gu Yunzhu's expression changed slightly, closing her eyes as if sensing something.

A moment later, Gu Yunzhu looked at Ye Han: "Your big trouble seems to be here!"
