Only a few days had passed, yet Ye Yuan actually reached the Third Level Essence Qi Realm. Ye Hang should have known that his son’s talent was inadequate; therefore, he was afraid his son would be bullied. So he used a method similar to the Ghee Empowerment to raise him by two levels.
Linking all of these together, Fei Qingping gave a cold laugh in his heart. A rookie like this, forget about being at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm, even if he were at the Fourth Level, at the Fifth Level, Ye Yuan would not be his match.
Fei Qingping was at Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, higher than Ye Yuan by one stage. Thus, he naturally had no need to fear him.
“Hehehe. It’s great to have a good father. Poisoned to such extent, and yet you still didn’t die. Even increasing strength becomes so simple. This is really an era for competing with fathers!” Fei Qingping said mockingly.
Ye Yuan knew what Fei Qingping was thinking right away, but he obviously would not explain to him. Instead, he smiled and said, “That’s right. I can compete using my father, but can you? I heard that your father is a watchdog for other people, using connections to let you entered the Dan Wu Academy. But who would have thought that after coming here, you would also become a watchdog. Indeed, a son will inherit his father’s career! One gate and two watchdogs; impressive, impressive!”
Ye Yuan learned from his predecessor’s memories that this Fei Qingping’s father was the confidant of Wan Donghai, and he entered the academy through the Wan Family’s connections. Otherwise, with his talent, he could not possibly join the academy.
It would be wrong to think that he and Tang Yu were both the same, being at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Fei Qingping was two years older than Tang Yu. He was also a commoner but had the support of the Wan Family’s resources. Yet, this Fei Qingping was only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. In the future, at best he would be at the early stage Spirit Condensation Realm, or he might just even be stuck at the Essence Qi Realm.
‘You . . .!” Fei Qingping’s lungs were about to explode in anger. Ye Yuan repeatedly calling him dog made him lose all of his face.
Fei Qingping looked at his companions, and even though nobody laughed out loud, he could tell from everyone’s face that they were all just barely holding their laughter back.
“What about me? You want to bite me?” Ye Yuan stretched out an arm, and with a smile, he said, “Here, for you to bite.”
“Hahaha!” This time around, everyone could not bear it any longer, and they all started to laugh.
Watching everyone ridiculed him, Fei Qingping face turned into the color of a pig’s liver.
“Ye Yuan! I want to issue a deathmatch to you! Accept it if you have the guts!” Fei Qingping pointed at Ye Yuan angrily.
The Dan Wu Academy did not forbid private battles among student. Instead, they tacitly accepted the friction between students. However, there was a point to take note, which was under no circumstances were they allowed to kill someone without permission from the academy. Otherwise, the person would face the wrath of the academy.
However, if both parties agreed to set a life-and-death contract, not only academy will not stop it, an instructor would even be sent to host the deathmatch.
Ye Yuan revealed a surprised expression and asked, “You really want to carry out a deathmatch?”
“Scared? If you are scared, then kneel and kowtow three times loudly for me. Afterward, say ‘I’m a dog’ three times!” Fei Qingping thought that Ye Yuan was scared and continued to goad him.
Previously, he also used this sort of tactic to make Ye Yuan agreed to the previous competition.
Ye Yuan stretched his ear out and pretended he did not hear clearly, asking, “Say what three times?”
“Say ‘I’m a dog’ three times!” Right when the words left Fei Qingping’s mouth, he realized he fell for it.
“Hahaha!”
The surrounding people laughed out loud again.
Fei Qingping wished he could give himself two tight slaps. He shouted angrily, “Ye Yuan, you coward! Playing this sort of little games when you don’t dare to fight!”
“Good dog, so obedient! Your Grandpa Ye has never looked at the owner before hitting the dog. Since you delivered yourself to my door, I will hit for your owner to see,” Ye Yuan said with a smile.

“Have you heard about it? The Yellow Rank’s first ranking from the bottom, the one hailed as the Ten Thousand Years Last Place, Ye Yuan, had just signed a life-and-death contract with someone.”
“Of course I’ve heard. Don’t you think that he’s tired of living? However, it’s been over two years since a life-and-death contract had appeared in the academy. This is considered news big enough for everyone to discuss for some time.”
“Yeah, it’s been two years and five months now. The previous life-and-death contract was signed by Senior Apprentice Brother Long. Back then, he was also a Yellow Rank student, yet he triumphed against his opponent who was two minor realms higher than him. I’m afraid that back then, nobody would have thought that he could charge to the first place in the Martial Roll of Honor after two years.”
“That is true. Senior Apprentice Brother Long didn’t even reveal his abilities completely back then. Ever since he finished off his opponent in that deathmatch, he became unstoppable. charging all the way through into the Heaven Rank, and finally being at the first place in the Martial Roll of Honor.
“Hey, do you think that this punk Ye Yuan can also defeat someone stronger than him and finish off his opponent? Rumors have it that this fellow only used a few days to advance two levels, and he actually went straight from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm.”
“No way! How can he be compared to Senior Apprentice Brother Long? Back then, even though Senior Apprentice Brother Long was low-key, he wasn’t weak to this extent. Advancing two levels at once? Don’t you know that fellow, Ye Yuan, entered the academy through an enormous backdoor? His father is one of the few Alchemy Grandmasters within our State of Qin. With his means, what’s so strange about pulling the shots and helping his son improved by two levels? This sort of advancement is all empty, so what combat power can there be?”
“That is true. I heard that this fellow had already entered the academy for half a year. If he could advance, he would have done so long ago and would not wait till now. Now that I look at it, it is most likely he used a secret technique to raise his strength.”
“Hehehe. That fellow really doesn’t know life from death. Supposedly, he competed in neutralizing poison with that Fei Qingping, but he ended up almost poisoned to death. His father is pretty impressive to have been able to save him. Yet he is courting death again right after returning to the academy. Do you think this fellow’s brain is missing a screw?”
The Dan Wu Academy divided strength into four ranks of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Ye Yuan and Fei Qingping both belonged in the Yellow Rank.
Initially, the academy’s attention was concentrated mainly on the Heaven Rank. Very few people paid attention to topics pertaining to people of the Yellow Rank. However, after Ye Yuan and Fei Qingping signed the life-and-death contract, it attracted a great deal of attention and became major news in the entire academy.
Even though the academy silently acknowledged the competitions and fights between students, it would not permit any death. There was once a student who relied on his family’s illustrious background and killed somebody in the Dan Wu Academy. The end result was that he was murdered forcefully by the academy, bearing no room for discussion. In the end, that particular noble family did not even dare to make any noise.
But a life-and-death contract was different. The instructors would not make a move no matter who live or die.
In the entire Dan Wu Academy, everyone knew the one in the first place in the Martial Roll of Honor was Long Tang. But not everybody knew the person in the last place was Ye Yuan. Ho
wever, this life-and-death contract quickly spread Ye Yuan’s reputation, almost reaching Long Tang’s level.
Of course, the majority was like how these two people were discussing, snorting in derision at Ye Yuan’s brain-damaged actions.
Ye Yuan’s rapid improvement in strength was also naturally one of the focal points. But nobody thought that it was something he cultivated out by himself. Everyone felt that it was surely Ye Hang who used some secret technique to pull the shots in order to help it grow, letting him reached the Third Level Essence Qi Realm.
Hence, everyone’s appraisal of Ye Yuan was that he was brain-damaged, foolish, and rushing to meet King Yama.
Just as these two people were discussing, someone suddenly said in a low voice,“Yiii? Look over there. Isn’t that Ye Yuan?”
“That’s him? He doesn’t look like someone who is brain-damaged.”
“Sigh. Who would write brain-damaged on their faces?
“That’s true. The deathmatch is three days later. Where is he going instead of making preparations?”
“He probably knows that it’s hopeless to do anything right now. Being at the first place from the bottom, no matter how heaven-defying, he can’t possibly jump ranks to defeat an opponent one level higher than him? I heard that because Fei Qingping is older by two years, he is already at the top 10 in Yellow Rank.”
“Something is wrong. The direction he is heading to seems to be the Scripture Library. Is he trying to hug Buddha’s feet in his hour of need?”
“Hehehe. How can Buddha’s leg be that easy to hug? Yiii? He was stopped by someone. That person seemed to be Wan Yuan who just advanced to Earth Rank.”
“Oh yeah. You see that girl beside Wan Yuan? Wow. That’s my goddess, Liu Ruoshui. If she will speak even a word to me, I would die happy!”
“Look at your starstruck expression, but yeah, Liu Ruoshui is really beautiful . . .”
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan was about to head to the Scripture Library.
His top-grade predecessor was too prodigious. Everything he heard during classes was all bits and pieces without much useful information. Ye Yuan needed to find some martial techniques to deal with the situation.
Ye Yuan had countless martial techniques on hand, but he truly did not have anything suitable for a person at the Essence Qi Realm to cultivate. With his position in his previous life, how could Essence Qi Realm martial techniques, regardless of how exceptional, enter his eyes?
Who would have thought that he would encounter Wan Yuan on the way to the Scripture Library?
Looks like Wan Yuan was intentionally waiting for him. As for Liu Ruoshui by Wan Yuan’s side, Ye Yuan naturally was not strangers with her. A few days ago, he competed with Fei Qingping precisely because of this woman.
“What a coincidence! Isn’t this Young master Ye? Where are you rushing to so hurriedly? To reincarnate?” Wan Yuan was full of smiles, but his eyes were as if looking at a dead person.
Ye Yuan sneered unceasingly towards Wan Yuan’s impatient mentality. Wan Yuan determined that Ye Yuan was definitely going to be dead this time, so he came in advance to taunt him.
After the deathmatch, Ye Yuan would surely be dead. Where would Wan Yuan go to find this sort of pleasure after this?
Looking at Wan Yuan’s appearance, Ye Yuan no longer hurried towards the Scripture Library. With a smile, he said, “That’s right, to reincarnate. But it’s to send you off for reincarnation.”
Hearing this, Wan Yuan laughed out loud and said, “Send me off to reincarnate? Hahaha! I’m standing right here. Send me to reincarnate if you can! You can’t possibly think that just because you cultivated to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm through some unorthodox means, you can challenge me?”
Liu Ruoshui who was by the side also covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled, thinking that Ye Yuan was very amusing.
This Liu Ruoshui’s every action carried a trace of seductive charm, able to stir that desire lying in every man’s heart. The male students in the Dan Wu Academy were all hot-blooded youths. If their willpower were not steadfast, how could they withstand this sort of natural seductive charm?
His predecessor was only a very foolish and naive child. His strength was also weak to the extreme. How could he withstand Liu Ruoshui’s charms?
Back then, Liu Ruoshui was by his side, behaving neither friendly nor aloof for a period of time, and his predecessor completely fell for it. Afterward, Liu Ruoshui used a few small tricks, and his predecessor got hooked obediently, losing his life just like that.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Wan, this Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is an interesting man. He’s clearly a miserable wretch, yet he tries to learn from others like a toad lusting after a swan. His strength is clearly poor, yet he wants to slap his face until it’s swollen to look impressive. He’s about to duel with someone, yet he is even threatening you now. Don’t you think it is funny?” Liu Ruoshui was beautiful like a flower, yet her words were bitterly sarcastic.
In order to hook Ye Yuan in the past, she naturally had to pretend to be weak and pitiful. Now that Ye Yuan was about to duel with Fei Qingping, he was already a dead man. So she no longer needed to humor Ye Yuan. She fully expressed out the contempt and condescension in her heart.
Chapter 26

Now that Liu Ruoshui and Wan Yuan showed up together, it was clear what they were trying to convey. Before this, not many people knew that the academy’s Earth rank goddess had already walked so intimately with Wan Yuan.
By bringing Liu Ruoshui here, Wan Yuan wanted to humiliate Ye Yuan by letting him see the woman he dreamed of was already walking together with his rival.
He was looking forward to Ye Yuan’s expressions of resentment, shame, as well as regret. But Ye Yuan’s reaction disappointed him, as not one of these expressions appeared on Ye Yuan’s face.
From the start till the end, Ye Yuan never even looked at Liu Ruoshui, treating her like air. And it was precisely being ignored by Ye Yuan that angered Liu Ruoshui, making her words just now so venomous.
Liu Ruoshui was rather confident in her appearance. In her opinion, Ye Yuan should be groveling right now, begging her in tears not to go.
If it was his predecessor, he might really have lost all control and did just that. But sadly, the Ye Yuan now was no longer the Ye Yuan of the past. With Ye Yuan’s status in his previous life, what kind of beauty he had not seen before? It was impossible to try to use such a cheap tactic to seduce him.
Ye Yuan gave Liu Ruoshui an emotionless glance and said, “A swan? Aren’t you overthinking things? At best, you are a defeathered chicken. How can you be compared with a noble animal such as a swan? How can a true proud daughter of heaven spare any thoughts to seduce men? When have you seen Senior Apprentice Sister Feng flirt with other men? Goddesses all have their own pride and wouldn’t be the way you are.”
Liu Ruoshui was a prideful person. In the Dan Wu Academy, she was always an existence surrounded by a group of admirers. When had anyone ever compared her to a defeathered chicken?
Liu Ruoshui was so angry that her willowy eyebrows were almost vertical. Yet, she could not refute it, because the Senior Apprentice Sister Feng mentioned by Ye Yuan was indeed an existence far beyond her reach.
Senior Apprentice Sister Feng was called Feng Zhiruo, a true proud daughter of heaven within the Dan Wu Academy. Not only was she a beauty who could cause the downfall of countries, but she was also among the top three in both Alchemy Roll of Honor and Martial Roll of Honor with strength not at all inferior to Long Tang. She was a person that a woman like Liu Ruoshui could not compare to.
Feng Zhiruo never bothered with pursuers, something different from Liu Ruoshui. She was a famous ice beauty in the Dan Wu Academy.
In comparison, Liu Ruoshui was much more popular because she did not reject her pursuers. So she appeared very warm. Also, she extremely relished the feeling of being sought after by everyone.

“Hmph! How stubborn! I will let Fei Qingping take good care of you during the deathmatch!” In Liu Ruoshui’s opinion, it was not that Ye Yuan was not willing to look at her, but it was because he was forcefully controlling himself after finding out the truth.
“Hahaha. Then there is no need for you to worry. Did the two of you come to find me just to say this? Since you are done, I won’t entertain you anymore.”
After saying these words, Ye Yuan directly walked passed them.
“Who permitted you to leave?” Wan Yuan’s face fell, and he made a move to grab Ye Yuan. But who would have thought he only grabbed the air, not even touching the corner of Ye Yuan’s sleeve.
Looking at Ye Yuan again, he was already several meters away. He even waved to the two of them with his back facing them and strutted away, angering Wan Yuan until his face turned green.
“Hiss . . . Was that . . . Instant Flash?” Wan Yuan frowned and asked.
“That’s right. It was indeed Instant Flash.” Liu Ruoshui lightly furrowed her brows. Clearly, she was also stunned by Ye Yuan’s move.
“Looks like there is really something odd about this punk. Father clearly arranged for an assassin, yet Ye Yuan simply swaggered into the academy. I don’t know whether that assassin was too stupid, or was that punk really pretending to be a pig in order to eat a tiger.”
“In my opinion, it is likely the former. He is only at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm. No matter how powerful his Instant Flash is, most likely he will not be able to escape from that assassin, right?” Liu Ruoshui interacted quite a bit with Ye Yuan before, so she had some understanding of him. In her eyes, Ye Yuan was just a useless person.
“Junior Apprentice Sister Liu’s words make sense. But I wonder since when did he learn Instant Flash? With this move, wouldn’t he be in an undefeatable position in his deathmatch with Qingping?”
Wan Yuan had always been competing with Ye Yuan since they were young. So he understood Ye Yuan the best. After thinking about it, Liu Ruoshui’s words still made more sense.
