Chapter 22

Although heaven had given him a chance to turn the tables on the rich and handsome, and the other party was arrogant and overbearing, he did not want to completely turn his back on them and stomp on them at the moment. After all, he had not yet firmly established himself on Green Spirit Mountain. Offending these people would inevitably have a significant impact on his future life.

Besides, what difference would it make if he let them have this small advantage for now? He would just note it down and make sure to reclaim it with interest in the future. Chu He did not believe that these people would achieve more than he would in the future.

In an instant, his thoughts raced. He wiped his hand across his waist and then leaped backward with a loud "crash," breaking through the window to escape.

In mid-air, he flipped his hand, and a spell turned into two streams of clear elemental energy, wrapping around Chu He's legs.

Such a loud noise would certainly draw someone to report to the instructor. Chu He had never underestimated the loyalty of the class officers; he had suffered enough from this in elementary school when he was mischievous.

As long as he could hold out until the instructor arrived, using the Clear Wind Spell to increase his speed, Chu He was already prepared to face three opponents.

You bastards, don't use your magical tools, or I won't be polite either! Chu He thought to himself.

"Whoosh!" Just as he landed on the ground, the air above him surged, and the wind grew intense. It was the tall young man who arrived first, flying and delivering two punches.

The speed of the Seventh Layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm was indeed swift, allowing him to intercept Chu He in the first moment.

However, he wanted to overwhelm Chu He with his abundant spiritual energy, but Chu He did not let him get away with it. He dodged with a mysterious step and managed to counter with a punch.

"Bang!" This punch came hastily, and the tall young man could only block it with 70% of his spiritual energy, immediately being sent flying, feeling a dullness in his chest, and even a slight obstruction in the flow of his spiritual energy. He was shocked: He had been lightly injured by this punch! The other party was only at the Fifth Layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm?!

"This kid is tough, don't bother with him." Zhao Youlu jumped down from above, seeing the tall young man being punched away, and immediately cast a red spell. Even Senior Wu Hai, who was at the Seventh Layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm, had lost to him in martial skills, so he naturally did not think of winning with his fists.

This red spell came suddenly, but it was within Chu He's expectations. The low-grade Fireball Spell in his hand was already activated, waiting for the right moment to be released.

Just as he was about to move, the air within ten meters suddenly tightened, and an unnamed pressure made all four of them feel a great increase in oppression.

To have such momentum, one must be at least at the Ninth Layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm, fully cultivated! The instructor must have arrived. Chu He cut off the last bit of spiritual energy needed for the spell.

"Hmph!" At the same time, a cold snort sounded, and a black spell light shot out, not only knocking down the red spell light but also striking the tall young man and the other two with several fierce blows!

"Truly a fine disciple of the bastard Luo Xuyu, wherever you go, you are so domineering. Today, I will teach you a lesson to make you understand manners and order."

Ten meters away, Instructor Zhang Yu stood with a cold face, the black spell light circling a few feet away from him.

To be able to knock down Zhao Youlu's magical tool and transform it entirely into spell light, the black spell light must be a higher-grade magical tool, at least a mid-grade one.

Upon hearing Tian Long's report, Zhang Yu had rushed over immediately. Chu He was his most outstanding disciple, and he could not let anyone harm him.

"You are not allowed to insult my master!" The tall young man, whose waist and abdomen were torn by the blow, revealing a long bloodstain, could not get up from the ground, but hearing this, he stood up and roared in anger.

"Has Luo Xuyu not taught you to respect your master? I am also an instructor. You have been on Green Spirit Mountain for more than two months and still do not know the rules?" Zhang Yu flipped his hand, and the black spell light flew over, striking the young man down with one blow.

This blow was severe, and the tall young man could not get up for a moment.

"Senior Wu Hai, you should say less." Luo Wu ran over, helping him up, and bowed to Zhang Yu, saying, "Instructor, please do not be angry. Today, due to the reception of Miss Qingyi, Senior Wu Hai became irritable, and I hope the instructor can forgive him." Zhao Youlu also quickly joined in to plead.

"Miss Qingyi, Senior Qingfengru?" Zhang Yu frowned, then waved his hand and said, "You two take him away. If you are not satisfied, you can ask Luo Xuyu to come to me."

The two did not dare to delay, quickly bowing and carrying Wu Hai away.

"Thank you, Instructor." Chu He hurriedly came forward to bow in gratitude.

Zhang Yu did not speak, looking him up and down before saying, "At the Fifth Layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm, you can face three opponents without falling behind. It seems I should recommend you to the outer sect, and you might even enter the inner sect."

The outer sect disciples valued combat strength the most, and Zhang Yu's assessment was not wrong.

Chu He slightly lowered his head and respectfully said, "Disciple has no interest in fighting. I am only focused on spiritual plants. I appreciate the instructor's kindness."

"Ha, whether this is true or not, it makes me feel quite relieved. I did not come in vain and even offended Luo Xuyu. Go find the steward to change your room." Zhang Yu retracted the black magical tool and walked away leisurely.

On the way back, many people saw Instructor Zhang Yu with a smile on his lips, though they did not know the reason, but they knew the instructor was in a good mood today.

A pointless conflict thus dissipated. Although he did not show off his might, the ending was pleasant to see.

He did not expect Instructor Zhang Yu to be so fierce, even daring to severely punish inner sect disciples. The stubborn Wu Hai was beaten so badly he could not even stand. Seeing that scene, the slight frustration in Chu He's heart immediately vanished, replaced by a great sense of relief.

From Instructor Zhang Yu's words, it was clear that he held him in high regard. After all, in just over two months, he had advanced from the Third Layer to the Fifth Layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm, surpassing many other apprentices. This progress was even considered top-notch among inner sect disciples, no wonder he was given special attention.

With this matter settled, Chu He did not dwell on it. As long as his cultivation progress far exceeded that of Wu Hai and the others, their status as inner sect disciples would not matter much, especially with Instructor Zhang Yu's protection.

He focused more on breaking through the Gannian Technique and the Xiaoxinjin Decree. As for the farming tools, he had already become proficient with them while completing tasks, so it was not a problem.

With the breakthrough in cultivation, the already highly proficient Gannian Technique also advanced, while the Xiaoxinjin Decree lagged behind, only being completed six days later.
