Chapter 46

The teachers of Dixin Academy were all shaken. They stood up, looking at the scene on the martial arts platform, their expressions rather grim.

Today was the last day of the Dixin Academy freshmen ranking battle, and many people from other academies had come to observe and learn. But on this day, on the martial arts platform, two students were trying to kill Oufeng.

Such audacious actions had never been seen in the history of Dixin Academy.

"Truly worthy of being Dixin Academy students, none of them are content with the status quo." Some teachers from other academies smiled at this scene. Many geniuses are arrogant, especially when a group of geniuses appear in the same place; conflicts are inevitable.

Dixin Academy is known as the cradle of geniuses in the Chu Kingdom. Many of the talented students there have always been arrogant and unruly, making them the most difficult to manage and tame among all the academies and martial halls. Therefore, the teachers of Dixin Academy are also very powerful.

On the viewing stand, there were many old students like Ruohuan and Ouchen, their lips curved into a faint smile. They thought to themselves, "Interesting, Dixin Academy has another troublemaker, and two at once. It's just unknown whether their strength matches their boldness."

Jiang Zhen walked down the viewing stand step by step, looking at Qin Wentian and said coldly, "Dixin Academy has never had such audacious students."

"Now, there are," Qin Wentian stared at Jiang Zhen and responded coldly.

"Someone has to set a good example," Fan Le grinned, walking to Qin Wentian's side. He looked at Oufeng's angry eyes on the ground. The fat man accidentally placed his foot on Oufeng's hand, turning his toes, causing Oufeng to let out a惨叫, the intense pain making him grit his teeth.

The fat man lowered his head, looking at Oufeng with some regret and said, "Sorry, didn't see it."

Though he said this, the fat man applied more force with his foot, making Oufeng's cries even more pitiful. The people around him rolled their eyes; this guy, so despicable!

"Do you see it now?" Ouchen's killing intent erupted, his steps slowly approaching.

The fat man looked at Ouchen, continuing to apply force with his foot, making Oufeng cry tears of pain.

"I see it, but I won't move," the fat man grinned at Ouchen, not forgetting the contemptuous look in Ouchen's eyes that day.

The fat man is very vengeful.

"Stop it," Qin Wentian said coldly to Ouchen. In his hand, a Celestial Hammer of Stars shone with brilliant light, aimed at Oufeng's head. If this hammer struck, Oufeng would be dead immediately.

Jiang Zhen and Ouchen both stopped. Since they had encountered two madmen, no matter how angry they were, they had to endure it.

"What do you want?" Jiang Zhen looked at the two and asked. For the first time, he felt so humiliated in front of two students. As long as he saved Oufeng, he would make Qin Wentian and Fan Le die very miserably.

"You should ask my leader, I'm very low-key," the fat man smiled, passing the question to Qin Wentian. The crowd rolled their eyes at his words.

The fat man is really very low-key...

Fan Le was very angry and furious about what happened in the Dark Forest, so he chose to retaliate without hesitation. However, he also knew that the root of the matter was still Qin Wentian.

He stood shoulder to shoulder with Qin Wentian on the martial arts platform, facing all the storms together, but he also handed the final decision to Qin Wentian.

The fat man was very 'low-key,' but he was not at all timid. Standing in his current position meant that no matter what decision Qin Wentian made, he had to bear the consequences together with Qin Wentian.

"The despicable fat man is very loyal," Ruohuan, a very smart person, her beautiful eyes shining with admiration. She found that although she had just met this fat man, she liked him just as much as she liked Qin Wentian.

"Fat man, do you think if we let Oufeng go, Ouchen will apologize and let us off?" Qin Wentian smiled, looking at Fan Le and asked.

"No," Fan Le shook his head. "He wanted our lives in the Dark Forest, and now he probably wants them even more. Even if we beg on our knees, the result would be the same."

"Seems so," Qin Wentian muttered, making Jiang Zhen and Ouchen's expressions even worse. Listening to their conversation, it seemed they were completely ignoring them and had no intention of letting Oufeng go.

Qin Wentian's eyes turned to Mo Shang, who had also walked onto the martial arts platform, and he asked with a smile, "Teacher Mo Shang, I have a few questions to ask."

"Go ahead," Mo Shang responded.

"If you have no grudge with someone, but they want to kill you, and almost succeeded several times, what would you do when you have them in your hands?" Qin Wentian asked.

"I would kill them," Mo Shang replied.

"His family has great power," Qin Wentian asked again.

"Even if I don't kill him, his family still has great power," Mo Shang responded.

"Mo Shang," Jiang Zhen roared, the people here knew what the implications of their conversation were. Mo Shang was inciting Qin Wentian.

At this moment, everyone understood that Oufeng must have wanted to kill Qin Wentian and Fan Le, so they had taken extreme measures today, directly walking onto the martial arts platform, trampling Oufeng underfoot, and even daring to challenge the authority of Dixin Academy.

Before this, Qin Wentian and Fan Le had a conversation about how to deal with Oufeng, and they had reached an agreement.

Whether to kill or not, the result would be the same, so the conclusion was—kill!

Now, the implications of Qin Wentian and Mo Shang's conversation were even more profound. He was asking for Mo Shang's opinion, of course, in a subtle way, but everyone understood clearly.

Whether to kill or not, the power of the Ou family would remain unchanged, and they would certainly come after Qin Wentian, without a doubt. So, whether to kill or not, it made no difference to Qin Wentian.

"Mo Shang, the iron law of Dixin Academy forbids students from engaging in life-and-death battles within the academy. You should know that breaking the iron law will result in severe punishment by the Law Enforcement Hall," Jiang Zhen's tone was icy, as Mo Shang dared to express his stance publicly, hinting at Qin Wentian.

"Qin Wentian," Mo Shang looked at Qin Wentian and said, "In the history of Dixin Academy, there have been three instances where a student killed someone within the academy."

"One of them was executed on the spot."

"Another was imprisoned in the forbidden area for fifty years by the Law Enforcement Hall, and then swore to never leave Dixin Academy for life, and agreed to serve in the academy."

Mo Shang's words made the surrounding people solemn. The iron law of Dixin Academy was too strict, and no deaths were allowed within the academy, otherwise, the consequences would be extremely severe. Because of the iron law, no one dared to act recklessly in Dixin Academy.

"What about the third one?" Qin Wentian looked at Mo Shang, who had paused, and asked. If it was a dead end, then what was the meaning of Mo Shang's previous conversation with him?

"The third one, the student who killed, is now the dean of Dixin Academy."

Mo Shang's calm voice made the vast space suddenly quiet. They knew how strict the iron law of Dixin Academy was, especially for those who killed their peers within the academy.

However, few people knew this piece of history; the current dean of Dixin Academy was once one of those who broke the iron law.

Qin Wentian looked into Mo Shang's eyes, not asking why, because he already understood.

Three students, three completely different fates: one died, one served the academy, and one became the dean of the academy.

Three fates, because their value to the academy was completely different.

The students of Dixin Academy are mostly troublemakers. They come from all over, all talented and arrogant. The academy never cares how rebellious or proud you are; what matters is whether you have the capital to be rebellious and the right to be proud.

Geniuses, being proud, is confidence and arrogance; mediocrities, being proud, is arrogance and foolishness.

In this world, except for blood relatives, no one owes anyone anything. If you want others to do something for you, you must first prove what you can give them. Qin Wentian understood this in the Tianyong City Star River Guild. He did not agree to Mu Qing's conditions, so Mu Qing chose to betray him to gain the Ye family's interests.

This is reality, very stark.

Now, Qin Wentian faces another choice. Whether he kills Oufeng or not, the Ou family and Ouchen will still want him dead, so he doesn't need to consider them.

The only thing Qin Wentian needs to consider is the attitude of Dixin Academy.

Qin Wentian raised his head, looking at Ouchen, a bright smile on his face. In those clear eyes, it seemed he had already found the answer.

In Tianyong City, he and the Qin family were forced into a corner by the Ye family; in the Chu Kingdom capital, Jiang Zhen made things difficult for him, and Oufeng wanted to kill him. In front of him were the Ye family, the Ou family, and possibly the most terrifying force in the Chu Kingdom, the royal family.

If he chose to endure and let Oufeng go, the Ye family and the Ou family would only despise his weakness, and he would still find it difficult to move forward in the capital.

So, for him, the answer is actually very simple!
