The Legend of Futian - Chapter 311

Chapter 311: Lin Qiu

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Qingzhou Academy was vibrant with many youthful disciples.

Today, Qingzhou Academy appeared to be exceptionally busy, because it was the day of the Spring Quarter Examination. The disciples of the academy had gathered together for the examination, and the heads of the School of Martial Arts and School of Sorcery had also arrived.

At the moment, Qingzhou Academy was particularly lively. The City Lord of Qingzhou, Qin Shuai, was also here, along with many other high officials of the city. Qin Shuai’s daughter, Qin Yi, was now sitting beside him. She watched as the young teenagers in the gymnasium displayed their talents and powers.

Qin Yi was already 20-years-old. Her body, which was already extremely sexy in the past, was becoming even more attractive. She was still teaching in Qingzhou Academy and was a goddess in the hearts of many disciples.

Of course, at the moment, she already had a boyfriend. He was Lin Qiu, the most talented disciple of Qingzhou Academy over many years. He was also the direct disciple of the Headmaster Gu Mu. At the moment, Lin Qiu was sitting beside Qin Yi and Qin Shuai. The two did look like a suitable match.

“Nowadays there are more and more geniuses here.” Qin Shuai smiled as he looked at the battle platform. Beside him, the master of House of Swordsmen, Leng Qingfeng smiled and said, “Yup. Qingzhou Academy was badly damaged after the monster tide that year, but the young generations of Qingzhou all started cultivating harder after that.”

“Furthermore, Lin Qiu’s talents have also encouraged many.” Lin Qiu was just over 20 and had already entered the Dharma Plane. In Qingzhou, this was definitely considered as extremely amazing and his talents were outstanding.

“After all, he has been to the outside world,” the lord of the Metal Pavilion said, smiling. “Our Qingzhou Academy has not had such an excellent disciple before right?”

Qin Shuai’s eyes sparkled. Have we not had such an excellent disciple?

Smiling, he shook his head and did not say anything. However, two figures appeared in his mind uncontrollably. If they did not leave the academy, they would have become legends of the academy long ago. Of course, they were not meant to be bounded to Qingzhou anyway.

“General Qin, when will Lin Qiu and Qin Yi be getting married?” the lord of the Metal Pavilion asked, smiling.

“I’m not in charge of this. You should ask them about their own opinions.” Qin Shuai smiled, while Lin Qiu looked at Qin Yi.

“There’s no need to hurry. I will serve father for a few more years and will not get married so early,” Qin Yi said, smiling. Everyone nodded and did not say anything.

The Spring Quarter Examination continued and the academy was very lively. Suddenly, a demon flew past the sky above Qingzhou Academy. It flew towards a particular place in the academy while descending from the sky. Many people noticed the scene. They raised their heads to look at the demon one after another and a strange expression appeared on their faces.

“There’s someone on the back of the demon,” someone said. The few Pavilion Lords of Qingzhou Academy squinted as they stared at the diving Black Wind Condor, wondering about the identity of the people on top.

The demon in the sky was, of course, the Black Wind Condor which was carrying Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu. It landed in a certain courtyard. The courtyard looked somewhat deserted and was uninhabited. It was the place where Hua Fengliu and Hua Jieyu used to live. It was here that Ye Futian once had many warm memories.

The two landed on the ground and felt very emotional upon seeing the dilapidated courtyard.

Hua Jieyu took a step forward. The stairs and rooms were all filled with dust. She wanted to go in but ultimately stopped. Turning around, she smiled and said, “Let’s go.” She was only here to take a look.

“Okay,” Ye Futian nodded. Today, Qingzhou Academy seemed to be particularly lively as the Spring Quarter Examination was being held. They should have been noticed by many just now.

The two stepped onto the Black Wind Condor and were ready to leave. However, suddenly, many people ran to them. Seeing Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu, they were clearly stunned momentarily.

“Ye Futian.” The look from Leng Qingfeng, the master of the House of Swordsmen, froze. Two years ago, Ye Futian had returned here once together with Minister Zuo. Today when he returned again, he was even more mature and handsome. However, he heard the news from Donghai City that Ye Futian was wanted by Nandou. He was unsure about how the situation was like at the moment.

Hua Jieyu was back as well. The lady who was once a legend in Qingzhou Academy already had a stunningly attractive look now.

“Senior, how have you been?” Ye Futian said, smiling.

“Ye Futian, today the Spring Quarter Examination is being held in Qingzhou Academy. Why not you go there and help to teach your juniors?” Leng Qingfeng invited. He was not very clear about what happened in Nandou, but he knew that Ye Futian, a former disciple of Qingzhou Academy, had amazing talent.

“No, thank you.” Ye Futian shook his head. Although he had some memories in Qingzhou Academy, he did not have much emotion towards it.

“General Qin is also there.” Leng Qingfeng knew that Ye Futian had a good relationship with Qin Shuai and Qin Yi.

Ye Futian looked at Hua Jieyu. Hua Jieyu held his hand and smiling, she said, “Let’s go and meet General Qin.”

“Alright then,” Ye Futian nodded.

“Let’s go.” Leng Qingfeng smiled and nodded. Then, the group walked down the slope and arrived at the gymnasium. When the people in the vast gymnasium saw Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu, many froze. Although the younger ones did not know them, many teachers and disciples of Qingzhou Academy did.

Qin Yi was stunned for a while. Then, she dashed out and approached Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu. She looked at the two and a bright smile appeared on her face. Then, she said to Ye Futian, “Hey. Shouldn’t you come and visit me first after returning?”

“Am I not here already?” Ye Futian shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

Qin Yi looked at Hua Jieyu again. Smiling, she said, “It seems that you have gotten yourself a beautiful girlfriend. It’s no wonder that you have forgotten to visit me.”

“Am I the kind of person that values gals over pals?” Ye Futian said softly.

“Humph.” Qin Yi smiled and glanced at him.

“Let’s go and meet General Qin.” Ye Futian held Hua Jieyu’s hand and walked to the main seats. Qin Shuai stood up to welcome them. After the news from Donghai City, he had always been very worried about Ye Futian. Seeing that the two were well and so outstanding now, he also put his mind at ease. That time, if it was not because of Ye Futian, he and Qin Yi would certainly have a miserable life.

“General Qin,” Ye Futian shouted, smiling.

Qin Shuai patted on his shoulder and said, “Futian, come and sit beside me.”

“Sure.” Ye Futian nodded and sat beside Qin Shuai. Hua Jieyu sat beside Ye Futian, while Qin Yi sat on the other side of Qin Shuai. Below them, Lin Qiu’s eyes sparkled. He had heard about Ye Futian before but did not know much. After all, in the island city of Qingzhou, there was limited news that he could receive. At most, he would hear some news from Donghai City.

When he saw Hua Jieyu walking towards him, he was immediately stunned. There was actually such a beautiful lady in the world, and moreover, she had cultivated in Qingzhou Academy in the past. If he also started cultivating in Qingzhou Academy a few years earlier…

“I heard some bad news from Donghai City about you. Are you okay now?” Qin Shuai asked in a serious tone.

“I have solved them all,” Ye Futian said, smiling.

“That’s great,” Qin Shuai nodded. “In the future, if you are free, come back more often. Qin Yi also talks about you every now and then.”

“Did I?” Qin Yi widened her eyes at Qin Shuai. Who would betray his daughter like this?

“I also miss senior sometime. I miss the days when you were teaching me how to cultivate during lectures,” Ye Futian said, smiling.

“How many lessons have you attended?” Qin Yi stared at Ye Futian in despise. You can continue pretending…

“Err…” Ye Futian gave a dry laugh. Did I not attend any? Hua Jieyu also gave a charming smile. He was really thick-skinned.

Suddenly, Lin Qiu turned around and looked at Ye Futian. Smiling, he said, “I am Lin Qiu, Qin Yi’s boyfriend. Qin Yi mentions about you often, and today I finally manage to see you in person. Indeed, you are extraordinary.”

Ye Futian blinked and smiled. “I am Ye Futian. I’m really jealous of you. Senior Qin is the goddess in my heart. Now you have managed to get her.”

“Yes, lucky indeed,” Lin Qiu said, smiling. He glanced at Hua Jieyu who was beside Ye Futian and criticized in his heart how hypocritical Ye Futan was. Ye Futian’s girlfriend had such an outstanding look, and yet he said that he was jealous of Lin Qiu.

Ha. In the past, he also thought that he was lucky. Qin Yi was, after all, the goddess in the hearts of many disciples of Qingzhou Academy; she was sexy and pretty. However, after seeing Hua Jieyu, he felt that he was in fact not that lucky.

“You can continue,” a Pavilion Lord said to the disciples of the academy. The young teenagers of the academy stopped looking at Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu and continued their examination.

Seeing the lively, friendly competition between the young disciples, Ye Futian recalled the Fall Quarter Examination that he once participated. Qin Shuai smiled and asked, “What do you think?”

“Not bad,” Ye Futian nodded. “However, you should encourage the disciples to go out and see the world outside for themselves.” Only when one had traveled to the outside world would one know how small the city of Qingzhou was. In the past, his master Hua Fengliu was in the Arcana Plane. Even though his Life Spirit was destroyed, he was still the strongest person in Qingzhou. Even the Headmaster was only at the peak of the Dharma Plane. There was such a huge difference between the isolated island city and the outside world.

Ye Futian and Qin Shuai chatted casually. Of course, most of the time he was chatting with Qin Yi. Slowly, the Spring Quarter Examination was also nearing its end. An elder announced the names of those who would be officially accepted, as well as the ranking of the examination. Many disciples of the academy danced with excitement. Looking at them, Ye Futian seemed to have seen his young self.

Noticing the end of the Spring Quarter Examination, Leng Qingfeng smiled and said, “Futian, do you want to go and say something?”

“No, it’s fine.” Ye Futian shook his head gently. He had no intention to be in the spotlight.

“Lin Qiu, go and say something,” Leng Qingfeng said. Lin Qiu nodded, after which he walked onto the gymnasium and said, “Today, I feel very happy to witness the talents of all the juniors during the Spring Quarter Examination. However, learning never ends and it is even more so for cultivation. As the disciples of Qingzhou Academy, we should not belittle ourselves, but we should at the same time broaden our horizons. Qingzhou Academy once had many outstanding disciples, such as Ye Futian. Today, it so happens that he is here as well. Does everyone want to meet him?” Just as he finished speaking, countless people stared at Ye Futian. Ye Futian was stunned and he glanced at Qin Yi.

“What is this guy doing?” Qin Yi frowned. Many disciples of the Qingzhou Academy started looking at Ye Futian.

“Brother Ye, why not we broaden the horizon of the juniors of Qingzhou Academy?” Lin Qiu looked at Ye Futian and smiled!

Chapter 312: Conflict

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lin Qiu did this obviously because he was somewhat unhappy. After Ye Futian appeared, he noticed the attitudes of Qin Shuai, Qin Yi, and Leng Qingfeng.

Qin Shuai looked as though he really wished that Ye Futian would be his future son-in-law instead. Even his girlfriend Qin Yi was extremely warm towards Ye Futian.

Qin Yi was not so active when she was with Lin Qiu, and till now he had not touched her hands. He was even thinking if there was something going on between the two. Even the master of the House of Swordsmen, Leng Qingfeng, treated Ye Futian in a very different manner.

Was Qin Yi’s boyfriend him, Lin Qiu, or Ye Futian, after all? Was the most genius person from Qingzhou Academy him or Ye Futian?

Of course, there was another important reason.

Ye Futian’s girlfriend was actually such a beauty. He had never seen such an attractive lady before.

As the genius of Qingzhou Academy, he had been to the outside world when he was young. After his return, he became the disciple of Gu Mu, the strongest person of Qingzhou. He was a talented Mandate Sorcerer himself and had entered the Dharma Plane. Naturally, Lin Qiu would feel somewhat arrogant.

He was extremely unhappy about what happened after Ye Futian arrived. Therefore, he clearly had to prove certain things.

Hearing his words, the disciples of Qingzhou Academy all started to get excited. Even the young disciples of Qingzhou Academy were only a few years younger than Ye Futian and had heard about his name.

They really wanted to see how outstanding Ye Futian was at the moment and whether he could be compared to their genius senior Lin Qiu.

“Lin Qiu, what are you doing?” Qin Yi was unhappy. She could naturally see that Lin Qiu wanted to compete with Ye Futian, maybe because their attitudes had caused Lin Qiu to be displeased. However, what was their relationship with Ye Futian?

She and Ye Futian knew each other well in the academy long ago.

That time, her father was disabled and many people of Qingzhou Academy all looked at her with much contempt. On the other hand, their enemy, the Murong Family, was flushed with success and obtained the position of the City Lord. Who dared to stand out to make sure that justice was served?

Ye Futian broke into Qingzhou Academy alone and killed the then mighty Murong Qiu, after which he escaped. After he returned, he eliminated the Murong Family and allowed her father to become the City Lord. Because of all these, her family was able to reach where it stood today.

Did she need to consider Lin Qiu’s feelings before deciding how she and her father should treat Ye Futian? That would be too unfair to him.

She had told Lin Qiu before about the things regarding Ye Futian and her father. If Lin Qiu really loved her, he would be able to understand her and should not try to compete with Ye Futian.

Lin Qiu frowned. His usually gentle girlfriend Qin Yi actually blamed him openly because of Ye Futian. This obviously caused him to be even more unhappy. Is she trying to protect Ye Futian?

“Xiao Yi, I only wanted brother Ye to display his talents in front of the juniors to encourage them. I’m doing nothing else,” Lin Qiu said, smiling.

“How should he display it?” Qin Yi said in an unhappy tone. Ye Futian already said that he did not want to go. Lin Qiu said this directly before obtaining Ye Futian’s permission, and this was clearly very disrespectful. How could Ye Futian not know what he was trying to do?

“How about have a friendly fight with me?” Lin Qiu said emotionlessly. Then, he looked at Ye Futian directly and asked, “Brother Ye, what do you think?”

Ye Futian found it both funny and annoying. Glancing at Qin Yi, he said, “My talents are only ordinary and I obviously cannot beat you. I admit defeat.” How could he go and beat Lin Qiu, Qin Yi’s boyfriend? After all, he had to give some face to his senior. Furthermore, it was really an uninteresting thing to compete with someone from Qingzhou.

“Brother Ye, how can you belittle yourself like this? We’ll stop immediately after the winner has emerged.” Ye Futian was not interested, but Lin Qiu did not want to give up. Does he want to avoid the battle by just speaking?

“Lin Qiu, this is too much.” Qin Yi stood up and her tone was very cold. Ye Futian was already like this, and yet he was actually so aggressive. Did he think that Ye Futian was really weaker than him?

Lin Qiu frowned and looked at Qin Yi. His look also turned somewhat cold.

Who was he? He was the most talented young man of Qingzhou and the direct disciple of the Headmaster. Furthermore, he knew that a few days ago, his master had already entered the Arcana Plane.

Even among the many island cities of the East Sea, only a few could be compared to his master, not to mention Qingzhou. Even if he was to go to Donghai City, he would still be considered as a powerful cultivator. He had once cultivated in Donghai City as well. Qin Yi scolded him openly for another man.

“It’s none of your business,” Lin Qiu replied emotionlessly. Qin Yi froze at her spot immediately. The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward at once. During the Spring Quarter Examination, a conflict actually erupted between the perfect match, Lin Qiu and Qin Yi, in the eyes of everyone from Qingzhou Academy.

Although this was normal for a couple in love, it was quite serious under such a circumstance.

Qin Shuai looked at Lin Qiu. In the past, he was the general of the Dark Kylin Knighthood. Seeing Lin Qiu’s attitude, he said, “Qin Yi, I think you can forget about continuing the relationship with him.”

“Yup.” Qin Yi nodded gently. It seemed that they still did not understand each other well enough. Moreover, they did not have strong feelings for one another.

She accepted Lin Qiu as her boyfriend only because she was already over 20. In a small city such as Qingzhou, ladies of her age would usually be engaged.

Lin Qiu was indeed considered exceptionally outstanding in Qingzhou, and furthermore, his master was the Headmaster Gu Mu. Everyone thought that they were suitable for each other, and therefore she wanted to try being together with him. However, in reality, she did not have strong feelings towards him.

Lin Qiu wanted to chase her probably because her identity and appearance were suitable for him as well.

Both of them only found the other merely suitable…

“Lin Qiu, from now on, there will be no relationship between the two of us,” Qin Yi said, looking at Lin Qiu. The whole place fell into a deafening silence.

Qin Yi wanted to break up with Lin Qiu, and she announced this before everyone.

Since Lin Qiu tried to provoke Ye Futian, Qin Yi would not be in a difficult position only by ending the relationship with him.

In this way, whatever Lin Qiu wanted to do would be irrelevant to her. Ye Futian similarly would not be in a difficult position to respond.

Ye Futian gave a bitter smile. He did not expect his appearance to cause Qin Yi to break up, but from this incident, it was clear that Lin Qiu and Qin Yi were only reluctantly together. Thus, it was also good that they could realize this.

Hua Jieyu held Ye Futian’s hand gently and glanced at him. She was glad that they really loved each other.

“Are you sure?” Lin Qiu’s handsome face looked somewhat gloomy at the moment.

“Yes,” Qin Yi said.

“Ha.” Lin Qiu sneered. Then, he glanced at Ye Futian and said, “Could it be that there is something between the two of you?”

“How dare you!” Qin Shuai shouted coldly. Lin Qiu was clearly referring to something and was actually trying to ruin Qin Yi’s reputation.

Qin Yi also did not expect Lin Qiu to say something so shameless. Her face turned very black. She looked at Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu in apology and felt that she had been wronged.

Ye Futian also squinted. It was alright for them to break up because of a conflict, and he could ignore Lin Qiu’s provocation as well. However, Lin Qiu actually wanted to ruin Qin Yi’s reputation before everyone.

“Lin Qiu, stop talking,” Leng Qingfeng said. “Go down.”

Lin Qiu ignored him. Smiling, he looked at Qin Shuai and said, “General Qin, why are you so agitated? You and Ye Futian seem to be very close. Have you ever wanted him to be your son-in-law?”

Ha, he is but a garbage City Lord. So what if he rebuilt the Black Kylin Knighthood. His master was a real Arcana Plane cultivator and had a very high status.

“Take him down,” Qin Shuai said coldly.

“Yes.” Behind Qin Shuai, several cultivators in black armor walked forward. However, suddenly, someone said, “General Qin, what are you doing?” As the voice diminished, a figure walked over. It was Gu Mu, the Headmaster of Qingzhou Academy.

“Headmaster, Lin Qiu said something very inappropriate. I was helping you to discipline him,” Qin Shuai said.

“I will discipline my own disciple. General Qin, you should not be troubled with that,” Gu Mu said emotionlessly.

Qin Shuai frowned and said, “Headmaster, how do you plan to discipline him?”

“Of course I will teach him to speak carefully next time.” Gu Mu looked at Lin Qiu and said, “You should not have spoken so inappropriately on such an occasion.”

“Master, I am wrong.” Lin Qiu bowed at Gu Mu. He could naturally tell that his master was trying to protect him.

“That’s it?” Qin Shuai’s face darkened.

“General Qin, what do you want then?” Gu Mu said emotionlessly. “Qin Yi said openly that she would break up with Lin Qiu. Shouldn’t she consider Lin Qiu’s feelings as well? It is inevitable that Lin Qiu spoke so impulsively.”

Gu Mu had been cultivating over the years and was disconnected from the outside world. He was very emotionally affected by the events during that time. Finally, he had managed to enter the Arcana Plane a few days ago. After entering the Arcana Plane, his mentality also changed. He treated Qin Yi quite well and was happy that Lin Qiu was with her. However, Qin Yi did not give his disciple any face because of Ye Futian. Did she even care about his existence?

That time, Hua Fengliu had a high status in Qingzhou, and his disciple behaved very arrogantly in Qingzhou Academy. Now, Hua Fengliu had already been disabled, and Gu Mu was in the Arcana Plane. How could he allow Hua Fengliu’s disciple and daughter to suppress his disciple?

A strange expression appeared on the faces of many. A conflict actually broke out between the Headmaster and General Qin…

Gu Mu turned his head and ignored Qin Shuai’s expression. He looked at Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu. Then, he asked Hua Jieyu, “How is your father now?”

Hua Jieyu looked at Gu Mu but did not reply.

“My master is, of course, doing very well.” Beside her, Ye Futian smiled.

“I have not seen him for very long. If he ever returns to Qingzhou, I would like to have a friendly fight with him,” Gu Mu said.

“Headmaster, you managed to break through?” a Pavilion Lord of Qingzhou Academy asked.

“Yup. I have entered the Arcana Plane.” Gu Mu nodded. Immediately, the place turned completely to silence. Qin Shuai’s face turned very black and he finally understood why Gu Mu’s attitude had turned so domineering—it turned out that he had entered the Arcana Plane.

“I don’t think you will have that chance.” Ye Futian looked at Gu Mu with a faint smile on his face. He looked really confident after entering the Arcana Plane.

“Is it?” Gu Mu said emotionlessly. “Since I won’t have that chance, how about you and Lin Qiu have a friendly fight since you are both here?”

Lin Qiu stared at Ye Futian. Everything seemed to have returned to its original state.

“He’s too weak.” Ye Futian, however, did not look at Lin Qiu. He said directly to Gu Mu, “How about you give it a try instead?”

PS: I saw many questions about why Qingzhou was so closed.

When I was introducing the city of Qingzhou, I wrote that it was an unruled island city and had little contact with the outside world. Hua Fengliu was the strongest person even though he was only in the Arcana Plane and had suffered a severe injury.

Also, not many people knew that he was known as the Guqin Devil. Even Donghai Academy in Donghai City was a legend, not to mention places even further away.

The Tingfeng Banquet in the Imperial City caused at most a short wave of excitement in Donghai, so they wouldn’t know about the changes in the rulers so quickly.

Ye Futian went to Qingzhou right after everything ended, so the news obviously would not spread that fast…

Chapter 313: End of the Nandou Nation

 

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ye Futian’s words caused everyone in the vast space to stare at him. They were all stunned. Did he ask the Headmaster Gu Mu to fight him? The Headmaster already said that he had entered the Arcana Plane not long ago. With such a level, he could be considered a legend in Qingzhou.

How old was Ye Futian? It was said that he started cultivating at the age of 15, and now he had only been cultivating for three to four years.

He was simply mad.

Many people in Qingzhou Academy did not like Ye Futian. Hearing his words, their faces turned cold. He was indeed as supercilious as before. Actually, Ye Futian also felt quite speechless. Was he so incompatible with Qingzhou Academy?

When he participated in the Fall Quarter Examination for the first time, he ranked first for the written test. In the fighting test, he wanted Yu Sheng to get first, but in the end, Murong Qiu got it because of the relationship between the Pavilion Lord of the Earth Pavilion and the leader of the Murong Family. This caused many subsequent disturbances, and he also left Qingzhou Academy because of this. Now when he returned, Gu Mu had entered the Arcana Plane and was very arrogant. Did he want to fight with Ye Futian’s master? He also asked his disciple to fight with Ye Futian. It was already obvious what he was trying to do.

“Idiot.” In the gymnasium below, Lin Qiu said to Ye Futian, “You should look at the situation first before trying to show off. What are you? How do you dare to talk to my master like this?” This was Qingzhou Academy after all, and his master was the Headmaster. Even though Ye Futian was no longer wanted by Nandou, he was really an idiot to behave so arrogantly in front of the Arcana Plane Headmaster in Qingzhou Academy itself.

Ye Futian glanced at Lin Qiu and then said to Gu Mu, “Since you do not know how to discipline your disciple, I’ll help you.” After he finished speaking, he stepped out in the air and walked towards Lin Qiu.

“Dharma Plane…” The looks from countless people in Qingzhou Academy froze. Only Dharma Plane cultivators could walk in the air without using any wind-elemental spells.

Clearly, Ye Futian was also in the Dharma Plane. He was such a young Dharma Plane cultivator. Furthermore, he was a Mandate Sorcerer…

Lin Qiu also frowned. Ye Futian was actually also in the Dharma Plane. This caused his face to darken. He was weaker in terms of cultivation talents.

Lin Qiu released his Dharma Plane aura. Since Ye Futian was also in the Dharma Plane, he could only prove himself by defeating Ye Futian.

Following a splashing sound, many sky vines that covered the entire sky swept towards Lin Qiu. Lin Qiu wanted to avoid them, but the vines were everywhere and he could not escape at all. Flames erupted from Lin Qiu and a flaming bird Dharma actually appeared, trying to burn the vines away. However, the vines glittered with red light and survived the flames. They wound around Lin Qiu’s body firmly and tied him in the air directly.

Err… Seeing the scene, the disciples of Qingzhou Academy all turned speechless. Was this their most talented senior Lin Qiu? He actually could not even withstand a hit from Ye Futian.

“You were jealous over a trivial matter, and then humiliated the lady whom you once pursued. I think you should just be an ordinary person,” Ye Futian said casually, causing many to tremble. Was Ye Futian going to permanently destroy Lin Qiu’s foundations?

“How dare you.” Lin Qiu’s expression immediately changed as he stared firmly at Ye Futian. Many sharp blades formed from the vines and pierced into Lin Qiu’s body. With his character, it was very likely that Lin Qiu would avenge Qin Yi in the future. Thus, Ye Futian would rather be the bad guy. Anyway, it was not the first time that he acted as the bad guy in Qingzhou Academy.

“Master, save me,” Lin Qiu cried miserably and stared at his master with a horrified expression.

Gu Mu’s face turned extremely gloomy. A mighty Arcana Plane aura erupted from him and he said coldly, “Let him go.”

“I said that since you do not want to discipline him, I’ll help you do so.” Ye Futian glanced at Gu Mu.

“You are really daring.” Gu Mu continued releasing his Arcana Plane aura and his face darkened. He did not expect Ye Futian to actually be so strong. However, he still could not tolerate Ye Futian behaving so arrogantly in Qingzhou Academy.

Sword qi whizzed in the air and a frightening might engulfed the gymnasium. Gu Mu stepped forward and charged towards Ye Futian directly, bring along a terrifying sword will.

“Headmaster, show mercy.” Leng Qingfeng also did not expect the event to go in such a direction. If he knew this earlier, he would not have invited Ye Futian to come and watch the Spring Quarter Examination.

With an endless might, Gu Mu’s sword charged towards Ye Futian like a bolt of lightning. How could he stop now?

However, Ye Futian only stared coldly at Gu Mu. It seemed that there was a reason for the fall of Qingzhou Academy. As the disciple of Gu Mu, Lin Qiu behaved in such a way. Instead of punishing him, Gu Mu only flaunted his superiority as an Arcana Plane cultivator. How could anyone under his teaching become outstanding? Since this was the case, Ye Futian could only solve the problem of Qingzhou Academy on the fundamental level.

“You wanna die?” Lin Qiu stared at Ye Futian firmly with a ferocious look. The sharp blades from the vines pierced into his body and he gave out a miserable cry again. Ye Futian looked at him emotionlessly. “Idiot.”

“Ye Futian!” Gu Mu arrived with an appalling sword will. Suddenly, a noble will enveloped Ye Futian and his white shirt started to sway in the air. Looking at the incoming sword, he raised his hand and punched in the air. A monstrous lightning dragon actually appeared and the howls of dragons filled the place. Even the color of the sky changed as the dragon penetrated through the sword qi and charged towards Gu Mu. Gu Mu’s sword will collapsed wildly. Feeling the frightening, noble-like might, his heart trembled fiercely. How could this be!

Countless people froze as they gazed firmly at the scene in the sky. The lightning dragon destroyed everything in its path and its huge head appeared in front of Gu Mu. It opened its ferocious mouth and bit towards him.

Gu Mu’s body glittered with lightning. He gave an angry roar and struck out his Arcana sword. However, the lightning dragon moved forward with a crushing force and engulfed his sword directly. Then, its monstrous teeth gripped onto his body.

An extremely astonishing scene appeared in the sky. Ye Futian reached out his hand and released a shocking lightning dragon which bit Gu Mu directly. Leng Qingfeng stood up and could not stop trembling. It was as if everything had returned to the day when Ye Futian participated in the Fall Quarter Examination when he used the Hand of the Dragon.

Even time seemed to have stopped. The Qingzhou Academy gymnasium was in a deafening silence as all the disciples looked at the scene in astonishment.

The Headmaster Gu Mu, an Arcana Plane cultivator, could similarly not even withstand a hit from Ye Futian. This overturned their knowledge about cultivation. Could any person’s talents really be so strong?

“No, no…” Lin Qiu watched the scene in desperation, and his face turned very pale. His master, an Arcana Plane cultivator, actually could not even take a single blow from Ye Futian. This caused him to feel extremely scared and helpless. Just now when he saw Hua Jieyu, he thought that Ye Futan was very lucky. He believed that his talents were no weaker than Ye Futian; hence he was jealous and the subsequent events followed.

All the Pavilion Lords of Qingzhou Academy stood up one after another and their hearts raced wildly. The scene was really too astounding. Nobody expected the young man who had left a few years ago to already be so shockingly strong at the moment.

“Your disciple was wrong. Instead of punishing him, you actually allowed him to act freely. Since this is the case, you’ll follow him together.” As Ye Futian finished speaking, the lightning dragon howled fiercely and an endless amount of lightning penetrated Gu Mu’s body directly, causing him to glitter with radiance. Gu Mu cried in pain as the lightning dragon brought his body onto the ground. Accompanying a dragon howl, the lightning dragon disappeared, but Gu Mu lied miserably on the ground like a dead body.

Actually, Ye Futian would not have done this just because of the incidents today. However, during that time when Xia Fan was flaunting his superiority and disabled General Qin, and when the Murong Family was in power, Gu Mu, the head of the holy land of cultivation in Qingzhou, never once stepped out and said anything. He did not deserve to be in this position.

Today, just because he had entered the Arcana Plane, he was so supercilious. His disciple tried to ruin Qin Yi’s reputation and yet he was so domineering towards General Qin. This caused Ye Futian to be totally enraged.

Hence, this happened.

Lin Qiu’s face was as white as a sheet. He looked helplessly at his disabled master who was lying on the ground, and his heart was filled with coldness. Following a splashing sound, the vines carried his body and smashed him onto the ground. With a loud bang, he lied with his master, and his meridians were similarly destroyed.

In the dead silence, someone in Qingzhou Academy suddenly said, “Ye Futian, even though you hate Qingzhou Academy, this is really too much.” The person was a trusted aide of the Headmaster Gu Mu.

Was it too much? In the past, maybe Ye Futian would not have done this. However, he had experienced too many things over the years. Luo Junlin relied on He Xirou’s powers to deal with Cangye, and they even tried to assassinate him. The six emperors from the Yunchu Nation and the like also betrayed him. Therefore, he knew much more about human nature. Gu Mu and Lin Qiu behaved like this. When he was here, he could still deal with them. However, what would happen after he left?

If Gu Mu really hated them, he could do much evil before running away. If something were to happen to General Qin and Qin Yi, there would be nothing Ye Futian could do. Even if he was to kill Gu Mu by then, it would be meaningless.

“Master Leng, in the future you’ll be the Headmaster of Qingzhou Academy,” Ye Futian said, looking at Leng Qingfeng. Leng Qingfeng had a good character and could sit well in this position.

“Err…” Leng Qingfeng felt very emotional. He also did not expect Ye Futian to actually be so powerful. However, Gu Mu was the Headmaster of Qingzhou Academy after all and he was disabled by Ye Futian. If he was to become the Headmaster, the people of the academy would probably not accept him after Ye Futian left.

Someone very close to Gu Mu said, “We don’t accept this. Who are you to decide on the Headmaster of Qingzhou Academy?”

Ye Futian scanned the crowd coldly. Then, he shouted loudly, “Silver Snow Guard.” Just as he finished speaking, the temperature in Qingzhou Academy seemed to fall immediately. In the sky, several figures stood proudly and their might enveloped the whole region. When their aura filled the place, the people from Qingzhou Academy all started trembling.

The figures that had appeared in the sky were like the kings of the void. “Yes,” they roared simultaneously.

“Who does not accept my decision?” Ye Futian said emotionlessly. Those who were not convinced looked at the people in the sky, and their hearts twitched. What level were these people?

“Even the emperor of the Nandou Nation was determined by me. Why can’t I determine the Headmaster of Qingzhou Academy?” Ye Futian seemed to have changed into another person altogether and was extremely dominating. Hearing his words, the people from Qingzhou Academy were all flabbergasted. Could Ye Futian determine the emperor of Nandou?

“Jieyu,” Ye Futian said. Hua Jieyu smiled and looked at him. Walking forward, she approached Ye Futian. The Black Wind Condor gave a long tweet and came before Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu.

“General Qin, senior, if you have any problems, you can go to Donghai Academy and find Yi Xiang, the Headmaster. If he still can’t solve it, you can go to the Nandou Nation Imperial Palace and look for the emperor, who is Jieyu’s uncle. He will inform me about it.” Ye Futian looked at Qin Shuai and Qin Yi. Smiling he said, “I will take my leave now. Senior, take care.” After he finished speaking, the Black Wind Condor extended its wings and flew into the sky. The nobles then followed them and left.

In Qingzhou Academy, countless people gazed at the departing figures in the sky and could not remain calm. They would probably not forget about this in their entire life!

“This b*stard…” Qin Yi’s eyes were slightly red. Why did he have to ask those nobles to show up before leaving? Obviously, she knew that it was all for her. A crystalline tear flew out from the corner of her eye, but her face was still filled with a bright smile. The once young juvenile had already turned into a fully grown eagle. The sky would no longer be able to bind him!

Chapter 314: Teaching

When one was only slightly stronger than the rest, perhaps they would be jealous of one and not convinced by one. However, when one was so powerful that the rest did not even dare to be jealous, they could only look up at one in awe and respect.

Ye Futan was precisely trying to leave such an impression in Qingzhou Academy. From then on, nobody would dare to disrespect General Qin and Qin Yi. In the end, he still did not manage to meet his family members, but he finally settled everything else here.

In the Hundred Lands, various emperors went to Cangye and Nandou to send their congratulations. The emperors who had drunk and chatted with Emperor Luo all stated that they were willing to be absolutely obedient and accept all conditions. Hua Fengliu and Nandou Wenyin spent a few days in the Nandou Nation Imperial Palace. Then, the group returned to the Eastern Barren Territory.

Ye Futian first sent Hua Jieyu back to the Moon Clan, after which they went to the Guqin Gardens of the Divine Capital. When Ye Futian and Yu Sheng finally returned to the Cottage, more than a month had already passed since their departure.

On Book Mountain, the Cottage was peaceful and harmonious as always.

Beside the bamboo forest, in front of the small huts.

“Little brother, you’re back.” Seeing Ye Futian, Beitang Xing’er smiled gently. She had two lovely dimples on her cheeks.

“Yup. After one month, you have become more beautiful.” Ye Futian smiled.

Beitang Xing’er was already used to it. Smiling, she said, “Sit down. You returned just in time for the meal. I’ll go and call the fourth brother here.”

“Next time I join any place, I will definitely be the youngest,” someone sighed. Ye Futian smiled and looked at the fifth brother who was cooking. Then, he said, “Fifth brother, why didn’t you spend a few more days outside the mountain?”

Luo Fan widened his eyes at Ye Futian who was rubbing his nose in it. At first, he planned to enjoy his time below the mountain. However, the third brother actually said that without him, nobody would be here to cook for the second sister.

This is too miserable and inhuman! Luo Fan thought.

“Are you complaining?” Suddenly, a gentle laughter was heard. The second sister came out from the bamboo forest and smiled at Luo Fan.

“Sister, please sit. The dishes will be ready very soon.” Immediately, Luo Fan was filled with enthusiasm and his lifeless look from just now was completely gone. Only then did the second sister smiled in satisfaction. She looked at Ye Futan and said, “Little brother, you didn’t bring Jieyu here?”

“Sister, Jieyu went back to the Moon Clan,” Ye Futian said.

“Okay. She can come whenever she is free,” Zhuge Hui said, smiling. “I heard them talking about your battle in Nandou. Even I regret not going to Nandou myself to watch it.”

Ye Futian scratched his head and said, “Obviously I cannot disgrace to the Cottage.”

“Yup. Finally, there is a decent brother in the Cottage,” Zhuge Hui said. “Come here and sit.”

Luo Fan’s face darkened. The face of Yi Xiaoshi who was walking over was also wet with tears. That was the impression their senior had of them!

Luo Fan and Beitang Xing’er finally returned. The meal was ready and the group sat in a circle. Ye Futian asked, “Where is the third brother?”

“He went to cultivate,” Beitang Xing’er replied.

Ye Futian nodded gently. Suddenly, Zhuge Hui seemed to have thought about something and said, “Little brother, I heard from them that your martial arts are significantly stronger than your sorcery?”

“Yup.” Ye Futian nodded. He obtained the body-enhancing technique from Emperor Ye Qing and the art of the Nine Heavenly Attacks was passed to him from the Snow Ape. The spells that he had learned were not as strong so naturally, he would be better in his martial arts. In fact, at a high level, there would be no particular advantage of being a sorcerer or martial arts cultivator. It depended on which area one was more talented at.

“Four, go tell Zong Xu that little brother and Yu Sheng will be going to their training field later to cultivate,” Zhuge Hui said to Xue Ye.

“Now?” Xue Ye asked.

“What do you think?” Zhuge Hui said, smiling.

“Alright.” Xue Ye put down his chopsticks, looking hurt. Then, he left the place.

I have no human rights… I have not eaten yet. The difference in treatment…

“Thank you, sister.” Ye Futian smiled brightly. The sister was really nice to him.

Hearing Ye Futian’s voice, Xue Ye sped up with tears in his eyes. Out of sight, out of mind.

Suddenly, some footsteps approached. Ye Futian turned around and saw a cold-looking figure walking towards him. It was Luolan Xue, the Virgin of Ancient Luolan. However, to Ye Futian’s bewilderment, the pure Virgin Luolan Xue was actually holding a basin at the moment. In the basin, there were many pieces of washed clothes. Ye Futian choked on his rice.

Cough, cough… Was this still the Virgin of Ancient Luolan, the cold beauty Luolan Xue?

Luolan Xue glanced at Ye Futian and then said to Zhuge Hui, “I’ll go and dry the clothes in the sun.”

“Alright. After you’re done come and eat with us.” Zhuge Hui nodded.

“Okay.” Luolan Xue nodded gently, after which she walked towards the back of the bamboo forest.

Beitang Xing’er looked at Ye Futian, feeling somewhat embarrassed. In the past, she used to do all this.

“Little brother, what is it?” Zhuge Hui asked Ye Futian who was choking.

“Nothing. I ate too fast.” Ye Futian lowered his head and continued to eat. Thinking about the imposing manner of the fourth and fifth brothers outside and the things that they had to do on the mountain, Ye Futian was gradually able to accept the truth.

The Cottage was a special place. It could not be judged in an ordinary way.

Maybe, perhaps… Washing clothes is also a kind of cultivation?

“Eat slowly,” the second sister said, smiling. “Since she will become your servant, I’ll help you teach her.”

Cough, cough… Hearing this, Ye Futian who had lowered his head to eat was choked again. His eyes turned red and he was almost moved to tears… Why was the sister so outstanding!

After Luolan Xue hung the clothes, she returned and stood quietly at the side.

“Help little brother to fill his bowl first,” the second sister said.

“Okay,” Luolan Xue nodded. She looked at Ye Futian and extended her slim arms. Ye Futian passed his rice bowl to her. Luolan Xue filled the bowl with rice and passed it back to Ye Futian. Only then, the second sister said, “Sit and eat together.”

Luolan Xue sat down quietly beside Ye Futian. All this while, Ye Futian had been lowering his head and eating in silence.

“Little brother, eat more.” Zhuge Hui smiled and helped Ye Futian to fill his bowl with meat. Then, she looked at Luolan Xue and said, “Little brother is so skinny. You should help him to take more meat. In the future, you’ll do all these tiny things. Don’t wait for someone else to tell you that.”

“Alright,” Loulan Xue continued nodding. Ye Futian continued eating with his head lowered. Luo Fan, Yi Xiaoshi, and Beitang Xing’er all tried to keep their faces straight.

On the other hand, Yu Sheng looked at the scene with satisfaction. The second sister is really thoughtful. Futian better be used to this.

Zhuge Hui smiled and looked at Ye Futian and Luolan Xue. The little brother was outstanding in all aspects except that he was too kind to beautiful ladies. Since Luolan Xue requested to be his servant, she clearly had to be ready for it. Zhuge Hui heard that it was the intention of the celestial empress of Ancient Luolan. Did she want her daughter to enter the Cottage like this and become a disciple? Then she would need to be a servant first.

Nevertheless, Zhuge Hui was quite satisfied with Luolan Xue’s performance so far. She did not behave like she was a princess at all and was very obedient. Thus, she could be taught slowly and in the future, she would definitely become a competent servant.

Xue Ye only returned after they finished eating. Zhuge Hui asked him, “Is it settled?”

“Yup. Little brother and Yu Sheng can go to the training field anytime.” Xue Ye nodded.

“Then bring them there now,” Zhuge Hui said.

“Alright,” Xue Ye nodded.

“Can I go and take a look?” Luolan Xue said softly as she looked at Zhuge Hui.

“Bring her along,” Zhuge Hui said to Xue Ye.

Xue Ye nodded. Then, he brought Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Luolan Xue out of the Cottage. They came to another mountain of the College. This mountain was ruled by Mountain Elder Zong Xu and was known as Mount Chong. The mountain was filled with many orderly arranged palaces and attics. An ethereal mist filled the place, making the mountain look like a fairyland.

The Cottage is probably the simplest among the nine mountains of the College, Ye Futian thought.

Of course, there were only a few people in the Cottage in the first place.

The Mount Chong training field was a very famous cultivating area in the College. Every day, many disciples would come here to cultivate and train.

The arrival of Ye Futian and his team caused a great disturbance at the training field. It was as if the disciples on Mount Chong already knew the news. Clearly, Mountain Elder Zong Xu had deliberately told them the message.

Standing at the edge of the training field, Ye Futian could not keep calm. This was the first time he came to a place of cultivation in the College. The training field was built using purely white stone. It was in the shape of a canyon which was tens of meters deep. At the edge of the training field, there were a few towering boulders carved into statues which resembled humans. The statues were slanted and faced the training field. From them, a terrifying might was emitted, pressuring the people in the training field. Although Ye Futian was standing on the edges of the field and did not step into it, he could still feel a noble-like pressure.

Apart from that, the entire training field was also enveloped in a matrix. Ye Futian could feel a very strong pulling force that was trying to suck him into the canyon. It was an extremely powerful gravity. Many people went around the group and looked at them.

“Little brother, seems like Mountain Elder Zong Xu has already told everyone about it. Now, many disciples are coming to Mount Chong, and they probably all want you, a Cottage disciple, to train with them. Take care of yourself. I will not accompany you.” Xue Ye patted on Ye Futian’s shoulders and smiled. Then, he left the place alone and Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Luolan Xue were left here.

“He is gloating,” Ye Futian muttered to himself. Then, he said, “Yu Sheng, let’s go down.” After he finished speaking, they walked through the air and headed towards the training field. Just as they entered the sky above the training field, they felt an extremely strong gravity trying to pull them down. Immediately, they started to fall at an incredible speed and landed in the canyon like two bolts of lightning.

“The gravity is so strong!” Ye Futian stood in the canyon and felt that his footsteps were extremely heavy. Apart from that, the noble might coming from the enormous stone statues above him also made him feel like he could not even move a single step.

This was indeed a good place to train their martial arts skills.

Luolan Xue did not go down. She only stood at the edge of the canyon and watched in silence. Apart from her, many people at the edge of the training field looked at Ye Futian. Among them, someone with an outstanding temperament smiled and said, “I heard that Ye Futian killed Luo Junlin who was in the second level of the Arcana Plane when he was only in the Seventh-level Dharma Plane. I wonder how strong Luo Junlin’s combat abilities were.”

“In any case, Ye Futian’s combat power is certainly very strong indeed.” Beside him, another young man smiled.

“Yup. Since this is the case, anyone on Mount Chong who is below the second level of the Arcana Plane can go and have a friendly fight with Ye Futian or Yu Sheng if you want to. There’s no need to hesitate.” The young man smiled. It was a rare chance to have two Cottage disciples to help in their training.

Chapter 315: Training Field Cultivation

At the side of the field, more and more people gathered above the gorge. These were all disciples of Mount Chong that hurried over after receiving the news.

There was a mountain above the training field with a building. That was the cultivation ground for Mountain Elder Zong Xu. Right now, he stood at the edge of the mountain and looked down. The Cottage had recommended Ye Futian to cultivate at Mount Chong’s training field and he naturally agreed. This could motivate his disciples.

Ye Futian obviously noticed all the people who’d arrived but he didn’t care. He tried walking, running, and displaying his martial arts strength in the gorge. He realized that his every move was restricted. Horrible noble might and gravity weighed down. Each move became difficult.

The training field was big. There were other cultivators present, all in different planes. Most were above the Arcana Plane. It was difficult for someone of the Dharma Plane to move here. There were also all sorts of weapons made of white stone here.

If I can move naturally in this field, I will definitely have a breakthrough, Ye Futian thought. If he could reach a certain speed and strength under this pressure, what would he be like without the pressure? His abilities would soar.

At that time, someone flew over and landed with a boom. A youth appeared before Ye Futian and Yu Sheng. “Duan Lan, Eighth-level Dharma Plane. I specialize in martial arts and would like to exchange experiences.” The youth gazed at Ye Futian and issued a challenge.

Countless eyes from above the gorge looked over. Someone had started already.

“Ye Futian, Seventh-level Dharma Plane,” Ye Futian said, smiling. He wouldn’t refuse. Since the disciples of Mount Chong wanted to use him to train, he would use them too.

Duan Lan stepped back and then charged towards Ye Futian. Each step was extremely heavy and mighty. He soon started running. He seemed to contain horrible strength, filled with wildness. He punched, fist hurling towards Ye Futian with terrifying power. The might and gravity of the training field seemed to be working for him, melding into the powerful punch. His moves flowed like water, not affected at all. Clearly, he’d practiced here many times.

A dragon and elephant roared above Ye Futian. Seeing the incoming attack, he stepped out and raised a fist, punching over. He wasn’t used to the mightiness and gravity here, so his punch was a bit uncoordinated. It didn’t affect his speed or power though. A true dragon and elephant seemed to burst from his fist.

The two attacks crashed with a deafening boom. Then Duan Lan’s fist started shaking. With a grunt, he flew back, spitting out blood.

“So powerful.” Duan Lan stared at Ye Futian.

Ye Futian had Emperor Ye Qing’s body-enhancing technique, and the three life spirits were extremely large divine beasts. He was practically made of steel. One could imagine how powerful he was when adding in the Dragon Elephant Roar.

Boom. Another figure landed. It was Kua Shan who climbed up Book Mountain with Ye Futian. He was now cultivating at Mount Chong. His burly body landed before Yu Sheng. “I want to challenge you.”

“Sure.” Yu Sheng nodded. He sprinted forward, creating consecutive booms. Because of the pressure and gravity, his every step seemed extremely heavy, shaking the earth. This sound gave everyone pressure. He gradually sped up and landed explosively before Kua Shan with a punch. Accompanied by a huge crash, Kua Shan flew back. Many people trembled inwardly. Yu Sheng’s strength was perverted.

Many people challenged Ye Futian and Yu Sheng afterward, and the two defeated them all. They gradually became used to the gravity and their moves became smoother.

A group of youths stood above the gorge. “What do you think?” the one in the center asked.

“Very strong,” the youth beside him answered. “Ye Futian must have cultivated a body-enhancing technique. He contains extreme power. Yu Sheng’s burst power is even more terrifying. This is natural-born talent. His body-enhancing technique isn’t any weaker.”

“Yes. I heard that Yu Sheng once lifted and took away the Demonic Tripod in Chaoge. He probably cultivates the demonic method.” The one in the center smiled. “You should try.”

“Okay.” The one on the side nodded. He stepped out, walking in the air before landing in front of Ye Futian and Yu Sheng.

“It’s Xia Houchu.” Everyone’s eyes glistened. Xia Houchu was in the First-level Arcana Plane but he specialized in strength. He was born with godly power and was a genius of Mount Chong, ranking in the top five. He was also Mountain Elder Zong Xu’s personal disciple.

“Xia Houchu, First-level Arcana Plane. I’m too used to this training field. You two can fight together.”

Ye Futian had killed Luo Junlin but this didn’t affect Xia Houchu’s confidence. They were fighting in the training field.

Yu Sheng stepped forward, shaking the earth. He roared and shot into the air. His fists came down at Xia Houchu. Xia Houchu looked coldly at him. Power burst around him and he stepped forward as fast as lightning. He rushed at Yu Sheng and the two crashed in the air. With a boom, Yu Sheng flew back. He skidded backward after landing and almost fell. Xia Houchu landed steadily on his feet.

Dark gold light gleamed on Yu Sheng’s body. He seemed to have a layer of dark gold armor. Horrible demonic might bloomed, turning him into a demonic king. He started sprinting again.

Xia Houchu wasn’t intimidated. He also ran forward and they crashed again, creating continuous booms. Each crash was terrifyingly strong. Finally, they separated. Xia Houchu’s hands trembled. He looked at Yu Sheng as if looking at an anomaly. Yu Sheng was covered in dark gold light as if a true demon had taken over.

Xia Houchu turned and walked to where the weapons were. He took out a huge mace. It was made of white stone so it was entirely white. He dragged it across the ground, creating screeches. Looking at Yu Sheng, he said, “Go get a weapon too.”

Yu Sheng’s hands radiated with terrifying dark gold light. He stepped forward. Instead of going to get a weapon, he ran towards Xia Houchu. Seeing this, Xia Houchu waved his mace. Wind roared. When Yu Sheng approached, Xia Houchu flew into the air and slammed the mace down, about to split the earth apart.

Boom… Yu Sheng resisted the mace with his body. There was an earth-shaking force and he flew out. He crashed onto the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. But he didn’t seem affected. He climbed up and wiped the blood away.

Ye Futian frowned. He walked to the weapons and picked up a staff. It felt as if he picked up a mountain. The stone staff was long and felt like thousands of pounds.

Ye Futian gripped it and yanked it up. He twirled it with difficulty. Now he understood why Xia Houchu could hurt Yu Sheng with one hit. The weapon was so heavy that it was shocking. If he could get used to it and fight with such large weapons, his power would be unimaginable.

“It’s useless. You just got here so you can’t be used to wielding such heavy weapons,” Xia Houchu said. His confidence was understandable. He was used to the might and gravity of the training field but Yu Sheng and Ye Futian had just arrived.

Ye Futian ignored him. He pulled up the staff and started twirling it, going from slow to fast. His moves had a unique rhythm. It sped up bit by bit and felt like it was getting smoother.

When the staff swept past, wind whistled around Ye Futian faster and faster. It gradually flowed like water. An extremely large force gathered above him. His noble intent bloomed. A subtle figure of the Divine Ape appeared. The air popped when the huge stone staff moved, stirring the clouds and wind.

Ye Futian went to Xia Houchu, golden wings shining behind him. The world’s might seemed to lie with him. Xia Houchu arched an eyebrow. He felt some pressure.

A wild aura burst from him. His dharma was a huge demonic ox. When he saw Ye Futian fly over with shocking might, he roared and charged with his mace. The pressure was like a mountain. He burst out with extreme power. With a boom, the mace was shattered by the staff. The staff continued to sweep Xia Houchu’s body. With a thud, he was flattened. Blood spurted out and many of his bones were broken.

Various figures descended. They supported Xia Houchu and looked coldly at Ye Futian. One stepped out. “Challenge.”

“Do the disciples of Mount Chong like going in rounds?” Ye Futian mocked coolly. “Sorry, I will not accept now.”

“You…” The other stared coldly at him.

“I’ll play with you all after I get used to this training field.” Ye Futian turned to Yu Sheng. “Let’s go cultivate.”

Yu Sheng scanned them coolly and left with Ye Futian.

Everyone trembled inwardly. Cottage disciples truly were terrifying. They’d just gotten here but defeated Xia Houchu, in the Arcana Plane, while only being in the Seventh-level Dharma Plane. They would become even more frightening after they got used to the field.

It took much time. Ye Futian exercised his physical body and strength. Two months passed without them realizing. He and Yu Sheng could not overlook the gravity and pressure of the training field. Their strength had reached the limit. They could imagine how fast and strong they would be outside the training field!
