Chapter 49

"Wind Spirit, move!"

Fang Zhao held the Wind Chaser Sword and executed the初级源级战诀 'Whirlwind Spirit Step'.

His figure was as light as the wind, flashing forward, and the Wind Chaser Sword in his hand was already pointing at Li Tianming's forehead.

"Li Tianming, it's been three years. Let me show you the results of my three years of cultivation."

As he swung the Wind Chaser Sword, the sword energy formed a sword flower, enveloping Li Tianming.

As for Li Tianming's companion beast, the little yellow chicken, he completely ignored it.

"Storm Heaven Sword Technique!"

This was a mid-grade source-level battle technique. Being able to execute a mid-grade source-level battle technique at the second level of the Spirit Source Realm, Fang Zhao truly deserved his status as a mid-level class disciple of the Yanhuang Academy.

With his status, if he returned to his hometown, the city lord would personally come to welcome him.

At this moment, his sword momentum was like a storm, the sword light shimmering, and the hurricane howling.

The Wind Spirit Crane had already taken flight, spreading its large wings, stirring up an even more fierce storm.

The long and sharp beak and claws of the Wind Spirit Crane looked as hard as beast weapons.

The cooperation between a beastmaster and a companion beast, from the connection of martial techniques and beast techniques in the Beast Vein Realm, to the companion beast possessing powerful spirit source abilities in the Spirit Source Realm, becoming the main force in battle.

At the third cultivation realm, the 'Unity Realm', their cooperation reaches its peak, and at that time, within the 'Unity Aura', the two become a single entity.

When Fang Zhao executed the Storm Heaven Sword Technique, the Wind Spirit Crane could also execute the beast technique part of this battle technique with its wings and claws.

This part, known as 'Storm Heaven Claw', its claws were like several daggers, tearing through the trees along the way, directly clawing at Li Tianming's head.

Though they were once old classmates, his attack was even more ruthless than that of an enemy.

"Looks like the timid you from three years ago has indeed grown stronger." Li Tianming found it amusing.

Three years ago, Fang Zhao was timid and fearful, and it seemed that the cultivation at the Yanhuang Academy had indeed given him courage.

"Li Tianming, the tide of life changes. Don't underestimate a young man just because he is poor." Fang Zhao's sword technique pressed forward, his face full of passion.

Hearing this, Li Tianming almost burst out laughing.

The principle was sound, but the key was that he had never bullied Fang Zhao three years ago.

On the contrary, when others bullied him for his timidity, Li Tianming had stood up for him.

Under the pressure of the opponent, his recently advanced to the ninth level of the Beast Vein Realm, Eternal Hell Beast Essence, erupted fiercely.

The opponent's movement technique was powerful, but Li Tianming's movement technique was even more elusive.

When he moved, it seemed as if the surrounding air was burning, and the fire shadows were indistinguishable from reality. His companion beast, the little yellow chicken, using this movement technique, made its small body even more unpredictable.

Clang, clang, clang!

Fang Zhao and the Wind Spirit Crane pressed forward, the sword shadows and claw shadows capable of splitting rocks.

"Is that enough?" Li Tianming suddenly turned his body, the lightning fire chain in his hand darted out like a venomous snake, instantly feeling like a long spear!

This long spear, entwined with lightning and fire, burst forth in an instant, directly piercing through Fang Zhao's sword momentum!

The Wind Spirit Crane tried to circle around at this moment, but it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its back!

It turned its head to see a little chicken, burning with flames, standing on its wing, a claw tearing off feathers and flesh.

"What are you looking at? Ugly thing."

The little yellow chicken transformed into a fire shadow again.

This sentence made the Wind Spirit Crane, which was preparing to attack Li Tianming, furious. The proud and delicate creature could not bear such provocation!

It became confused and chased after the little yellow chicken, being toyed with by the little yellow chicken.

Without the support of the Wind Spirit Crane, Fang Zhao was also forced back by Li Tianming's lightning fire chain!

He felt somewhat ashamed and attacked again with his sword!

But he never expected that Li Tianming was faster, and the lightning fire chain in his hand was extremely flexible and fast.

In a short moment, the lightning fire chain and the Wind Chaser Sword clashed over ten times, producing a sharp, clanging sound.

The powerful force transmitted by the lightning fire chain almost split Fang Zhao's tiger's mouth!

"How is this possible! He is only at the ninth level of the Beast Vein Realm, where does he get such violent power!"

Fang Zhao felt the urge to retreat.

He was suddenly intimidated by Li Tianming's gaze.

He was never a person with a strong inner resolve, and once he was suppressed, he could not handle his sword momentum well.

At this moment, the lightning fire chain moved even faster, the flames burning fiercely, turning it into a fire dragon!

The fire dragon was so fast that it created an afterimage. In the instant when Fang Zhao's mind changed, the fire dragon instantly penetrated the sword momentum and, with a few swift movements, directly entangled Fang Zhao.

This was a mid-grade source-level battle technique — Heaven Fire Soul Bind!

Li Tianming used it for the first time and was not very familiar with it, but Fang Zhao's mental state was too poor, so he succeeded easily.

With a flick of his wrist, the lightning fire chain entangled Fang Zhao in three layers!

The power of his Eternal Hell Beast Essence was transmitted through the lightning fire chain, instantly burning Fang Zhao, causing his skin to split and bleed!

However, a mid-grade source-level battle technique was not just about entangling and restraining.

Li Tianming pulled, and the immense force directly threw Fang Zhao up!

Fang Zhao immediately screamed, then was spun around in the air, his feet off the ground, and was thrown behind Li Tianming!

Thud!

Fang Zhao's body hit the ground, feeling as if it was about to fall apart.

In pain, he let out a mournful cry, shouting, "Wind Spirit, save me quickly!"

On the other side, the Wind Spirit Crane was playing hide and seek with the little yellow chicken.

It never expected Fang Zhao to be defeated so miserably.

When it saw Fang Zhao being entangled by the lightning fire chain and thrown to the ground, it was instantly enraged!

At that moment, its feathers shimmered.

In a terrifying aura, its feathers turned into countless blades, instantly flying out, sweeping towards Li Tianming!

This was the spirit source ability — Spirit Wind Blades!

It must be said that the Spirit Wind Blades were terrifying, even movement techniques found it hard to resist.

But, unfortunately, Fang Zhao was too overconfident and did not use it to suppress Li Tianming from the beginning.

This led to Li Tianming, with a slight flick, dragging Fang Zhao back and using him as a shield to block the Spirit Wind Blades.

"Ahh!"

Facing death, Fang Zhao let out a deafening scream, his legs trembling, and a rustling sound could be heard.

Li Tianming looked down and shook his head helplessly, Fang Zhao was still the same timid and cowardly person as three years ago.

He had already wet his pants.

Seeing this, the Wind Spirit Crane quickly retracted its ability, the feathers returning to its body.

At this moment, the little yellow chicken suddenly appeared, a move of Nether Fire Ghost Claw hitting its wing, which was not protected by feathers, instantly breaking its wing bones.

The Wind Spirit Crane let out a mournful cry, its wing bleeding profusely, unable to even fly.

On this side, Fang Zhao, who was already suffering from the flames and lightning of the Heaven Fire Soul Bind, had wet his pants and was thrown by Li Tianming, directly hitting his old classmates.

"Here's Fang Zhao back to you, remember to remind him to change his pants."

Li Tianming put away the lightning fire chain, smiling calmly.

Rustle!

They all quickly scattered, no one catching Fang Zhao, letting him fall to the ground again, breaking his bones.

After all, who would dare to catch a person who had wet his pants?

"Li Tianming, the humiliation you have given me today, I will return to you tenfold in the future!"

Fang Zhao's eyes were bloodshot, his face flushed red, he struggled to stand up, trembling as he looked at Li Tianming.

"You should change your pants first, and then talk about not underestimating a young man..." Li Tianming said.

Fang Zhao's current ridiculous appearance made many onlookers, even those who did not want to laugh, unable to hold back.

"Do you all not plan to make a move?" Fang Zhao looked at Lu Guanxiong, Lin Kun, and others in disbelief.

With this question, they exchanged glances, roughly making a decision.

They had come together with Fang Zhao, and if he was taught a lesson, they would be laughed at when they returned to the mid-level class.

Although, when they saw Li Tianming defeat Fang Zhao, they were indeed somewhat shaken.

They originally thought that Li Tianming had wasted three years, and they had already pulled ahead of him, and they could easily suppress him with their senior status and strength.

But the reality was that Fang Zhao was defeated.

Even, he was so scared that he wet his pants, losing all his dignity.

Now, the way they looked at Li Tianming had changed; they no longer dared to mock him as a disgraced fool.

However, they were not afraid, as they had a unified opinion.

They would definitely join forces to suppress Li Tianming and give him a lesson.

"Li Tianming, since you have returned to the academy, you must follow the academy's rules. You dare to act recklessly and injure Fang Zhao. If we don't teach you a lesson, you will forget the rules of our academy."

Lu Guanxiong and the others stood together, their eyes burning as they looked at Li Tianming.

Fang Zhao was the weakest among them, for example, Lu Guanxiong was already at the third level of the Spirit Source Realm. If they joined forces, Li Tianming would have no choice but to accept his fate.

"Even saying such things, don't you feel ashamed?" Li Tianming was speechless at their despicable behavior.

After all, they were once classmates, why must they be so ruthless? Do they really need to show off their superiority to feel good?

"Are you still daring to talk back?" They all pressed down to suppress him.

Li Tianming looked behind them and suddenly smiled, "You dare to bully new students in Master Mu Wan's class, completely disregarding Master Mu Wan."

"Have you already looked down on Master Mu Wan after graduating from her class?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Guanxiong sneered, realizing that Li Tianming was bringing up Master Mu Wan to show his cowardice.

"Who is talking nonsense?" At that moment, a cold female voice came from behind Fang Zhao and the others.

This voice made them all shudder, and they trembled as they turned around.

When they saw the woman speaking, their faces turned pale.

"Master, please do justice for Fang Zhao. Li Tianming has humiliated and severely injured him! We were just trying to stand up for Fang Zhao..." Lu Guanxiong quickly said, thinking on his feet.

"Ha, no need to say anything more. Just after climbing to the mid-level class, you dare to act tyrannically here. Being defeated and still having the nerve to complain."

"You will all crawl back from here today."

When Master Mu Wan said this, they were already in despair.

At this moment, they truly understood what real fear was.

Next, Li Tianming saw Master Mu Wan give them a severe beating.

Except for Lin Qingyu, who did not participate, the others, including Fang Zhao, could only be beaten until their skin split and they cried, begging for mercy as they crawled away.

"If you dare to come to me again, I will let you experience just how gentle I can be." Master Mu Wan said with a smile.

They shuddered even more and crawled away faster, especially Fang Zhao, who was almost 'blooming for the second time' and needed to change his pants again...

"Scram." With a glance from Master Mu Wan, the onlookers, seeing her terrifying power, scrambled to leave.

They finally understood that no matter what Li Tianming's reputation was, Master Mu Wan seemed to value him.

They were angry, they were jealous, but they were also helpless.

Li Tianming could defeat mid-level class seniors, so in the entire Mu Wan class, there were probably few who could match him.

After they dispersed, only Li Tianming and Mu Wan were left.

But the next moment, a middle-aged man appeared behind Master Mu Wan.

He wore a golden-yellow robe, his black hair neatly combed, his face clean, and his eyes slightly golden.

His aura was extremely powerful, and when he appeared, it suppressed even Master Mu Wan's aura.

He was definitely a top-tier powerhouse, and his every move could make the earth shake.
