“Hey, have you laid down long enough? There are still two more moves which you allowed me. You aren’t going to go back on your words, are you?”
Ye Yuan clapped his hands together with a face that said it cannot be helped.
Cough, cough, cough! Fei Qingping had not caught his breath even after so long.
That palm strike just now hit him right in the chest to the point where he could not catch his breath.
Were it not for the fact that he gathered essence energy to form a shield at the last moment, he would have failed miserably at this simple mission.
Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm was much stronger than Third Level Essence Qi Realm; it was not just because the essence energy was much thicker, but also because after the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, one would be able to materialize an essence energy shield. This greatly increased one’s self-defense power.
The damage from a Third Level Essence Qi Realm’s attack, after being neutralized by an essence energy shield, will significantly be reduced in power.
“Li-little bastard!” Fei Qingping held his chest as he struggled to stand up.
Just as he managed to steady himself, Ye Yuan palm came again.
Smash!
Fei Qingping was sent flying once more, rolling on the ground far away.
“You’re really asking for a beating! Try scolding again if you got the guts!” Ye Yuan stopped smiling and said coldly.
Cough, cough! “S-so what if I scold you? Li-little bas-”
Smash!
Before he even managed to complete his sentence, Ye Yuan’s palm once again imprinted onto Fei Qingping’s chest.
“I admire your guts. Come, carry on scolding.” Ye Yuan’s words became frostier.
Cough, cough! “Three moves are over, prepare to die! Little bas-”
Smash!
Yet another palm!
Only, this palm struck the face. Even though it was weakened by the essence energy shield, Fei Qingping’s face started to swell slightly.
“Little-”
Smash!
Smash! Smash! Smash!
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan landed one palm after another on Fei Qingping’s face.
Fei Qingping stood up again and again but was sent flying each time. As long as he stood up, a palm would come whizzing, leaving him no time to start scolding.
It was said that when hitting someone, do not hit the face. Yet, Ye Yuan deliberately hit Fei Qingping’s face.
After over a dozen palms landed, Fei Qingping’s face already swelled up like a pig’s head. Even if his parents were here, they probably would not be able to recognize their own son.
Currently, Fei Qingping was howling in his heart. Each time he made a great effort to stand up, wanting to retaliate, Ye Yuan would appear before his eyes without waiting for him to react.
Right now, he discovered that the Ye Yuan he always looked down upon had indeed possessed the strength to threaten him.
. . . . . .
Everybody looked on dumbfounded at the scene of Ye Yuan continuously striking one palm after the other.
Each time Ye Yuan struck, their hearts would jump involuntarily as if that palm was slapping their faces.
Stretching out to touch their faces, why was it that they found their faces a little hot?
Wan Yuan did not say a word, but his face was already completely black.
How was this about Ye Yuan slapping Fei Qingping’s face? He was clearly slapping Wan Yuan’s face!
There were so many people present here. Who did not know that Fei Qingping was his lackey?
In his heart, he had already scolded Fei Qingping countless times, but that was not of any help at all to the current situation in the combat arena.
Wan Yuan did not possess Huyan Yong’s judgment. Even now, he still stubbornly believed that Ye Yuan had the initiative because of those three moves, and Ye Yuan could beat Fei Qingping until this state because Fei Qingping was taken unaware.
Thinking back to how Fei Qingping promised to allow Ye Yuan three moves right from the start, it became a complete joke now.
It had already been over ten moves, and Fei Qingping had not even counterattacked.
“Fei Qingping, are you a pig?! Quickly, use the Lesser Capturing Hand!” Wan Yuan could not sit idly by any longer and then shouted out loud.
Murmuring.
Following Wan Yuan’s cry, the hundreds of people in the audience all looked over in his direction.
It seemed to have caught Ye Yuan’s attention as well. He looked over and ceased his violent rhythmic beating of Fei Qingping.
“Shut up! This is a deathmatch. Who permitted you to shout?” Huyan Yong turned around and looked frostily at Wan Yuan. A powerful pressure belonging to the Spirit Condensation Realm came forth, crushing Wan Yuan until his breathing almost stopped.
“Teacher Huyan, does his action count as breaking the academy’s rules?” Ye Yuan asked calmly.
Huyan Yong also had a headache. Even though Wan Yuan was an Earth rank student, his potential was quite high. Additionally, with his father, Wan Donghai’s network, he could not be too harsh on him.
However, what Wan Yuan did was indeed a transgression. A deathmatch prohibited anyone from interrupting the duel. Wan Yuan’s interference had clearly disrupted Ye Yuan’s momentum.
Now, if Ye Yuan was to hold onto this point and not let things go, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Huyan Yong really did not know how to handle things.
“Of course it counts!” Even though it might be troublesome, Huyan Yong could not deny this in front of so many people.
Currently, many people’s gaze towards Wan Yuan became filled with contempt. Anyone could tell that he intentionally interrupted Ye Yuan’s momentum.
“That . . . According to the academy’s rules, how should he be punished for his actions? Just now, I had the full advantage, but after that shout, I’m afraid that I will be beaten by Fei Qingping later. I don’t want to look like a pig head. Teacher Huyan, you have to stand up for me, the weak party!” Ye Yuan said innocently.
“This . . .” Huyan Yong was exasperated and cursed endlessly in his heart.
Other people might not be able to tell, but how could he not see it? Even when interrupted, there was no way that pig head could even touch the corner of Ye Yuan’s sleeves. It had nothing to do with the overall situation.
Yet, Ye Yuan deliberately pretended to be the weak party right now in order to gain everyone’s sympathy. This made it even harder for him to find a way out of this situation whether he punished Wan Yuan or not.
As expected, when Ye Yuan’s voice died down, a wave of murmuring sounded off at the grandstand. Everyone understood what he meant.
Ye Yuan was already two minor cultivation realms lower than Fei Qingping right from the start and was at an absolute disadvantage.
Fei Qingping himself threw away his initiative, which finally balanced out the initially tilted scale.
If Ye Yuan were beaten to death by Fei Qingping right after coming up, there would absolutely be no one who would pity him. But now that Ye Yuan finally saw the hope of victory, and yet was despicably interrupted by Wan Yuan, everybody could not help but pity him.
Even though many among them wagered against Ye Yuan.
However, everybody was clear in their hearts, that even though Ye Yuan was the one beating violently, in reality, it was all superficial wounds to Fei Qingping; unable to give him any serious injuries.
Stacking Waves Layered Palm was indeed powerful, but the First Layer Wave was not able to compensate for the difference in cultivation realm.
If Fei Qingping were only at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm, then even if he had ten lives, he would be thoroughly dead.
If Fei Qingping was at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, perhaps Ye Yuan might just have that glimmer of hope to finish him off.
But at the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm . . .
Nobody felt that Ye Yuan could really kill Fei Qingpi
ng.
That was the reality of it . . .
Just as Huyan Yong was caught in the dilemma, Fei Qingping finally took the opportunity to stand up, albeit in an unstable manner.
However . . . he was already confused and disoriented right now. He was utterly unable to figure out the directions.
Fei Qingping saw a blurry figure, pointed at him, and shouted angrily, “Ye Yuan, I . . . I’m going . . . to kill you!”
“Hahahaha!”
Hundreds of people took a look at Fei Qingping’s funny appearance and burst into laughter.
The laughter made Fei Qingping’s eardrums quake in pain.
Fei Qingping did not understand why everyone was laughing at him, but when he saw clearly who he was pointing at, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The person in front of him gradually became clearer. He was pointing to none other than the currently livid Huyan Yong.
“Wan Yuan disrupted the deathmatch. In accordance with the academy’s rules, he will go and receive a hundred whippings himself after the duel. Wan Yuan! Leave the combat arena right now!” Huyan Yong had been an instructor for so many years but never had he lost face like he did today.
Chapter 33

Whipping was a form of punishment frequently used on students.
This whip punishment was naturally different from the mortals’ whipping punishment. It was carried out using a low-grade Spirit Artifact. Each whip will scatter the student’s protective essence energy, causing bone piercing pain.
The average student who committed a mistake would receive around 30-50 whips. After that, they basically had to lie on a bed for ten days.
Now that Wan Yuan had to receive 100 whips, he would not be able to walk for at least twenty days no matter what.
Wan Yuan also knew that he had incurred public wrath, so he did not dare to talk back to Huyan Yong. Glaringly fiercely at Ye Yuan, he said, “Hmph! In a while, we will come and collect your corpse!”
Ye Yuan did not show any weaknesses and said loudly, “Many thanks then. But I think you better collect the corpse of your family’s dog. I won’t see you off.”
Finishing by drawing aggro, Ye Yuan sent Wan Yuan off with a wave of his hands.
If it was not a deathmatch, Wan Yuan wished he could immediately rush down and tear Ye Yuan apart.
After Wan Yuan left, Huyan Yong announced with a scowl, “Deathmatch resumes!”
Currently, Fei Qingping had already recovered. There was hatred in his eyes as if he wanted to tear Ye Yuan apart alive.
“Ye Yuan, you despicable man! To actually use such a contemptible method to execute sneak attacks on me!” Fei Qingping gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Ye Yuan stared at him like he was an idiot. “Hey, you were the one who said that you will allow me three moves. Now you turn around and blame me for being despicable? Did you really become a pig’s head?”
“Little bastard! You are dead!!” Fei Qingping was practically foaming at the mouth from anger and started cursing again.
As his voice fell, Ye Yuan’s figure once again executed Instant Flash, appearing in front of Fei Qingping.
Smash!
Fei Qingping was sent flying once again.
This time around, the audience on the grandstand finally noticed something wrong.
If previously, Fei Qingping were sent flying because he underestimated the enemy right at the start, then what about now?
Fei Qingping could not possibly be unprepared when facing Ye Yuan in his towering rage. Yet, he was still sent flying with a single palm by Ye Yuan.
Those with a good judgment already discovered that this time around, even though Fei Qingping was prepared to counterattack, he was still slower by half a beat.
“This . . . Is Instant Flash supposed to be this quick?” Zuo Bugui felt that there were too many things happening today that overturned his understanding.
Long Tang looked at him and said, “Looks like we were both wrong. Ye Yuan’s Instant Flash had already reached the great circle stage.”
Zuo Bugui sucked in a cold breath involuntarily. “Siii . . . Great circle stage. . . Do you also know Instant Flash?”
Long Tang seemed to know what Zuo Bugui was asking, so he nodded his head and said, “I still cannot find the crux to step into the Great Circle Realm.”
Zuo Bugui muttered, “This Ye Yuan . . . is truly monstrous! Looks like in the future, we will have another terrifying opponent.”
Hearing Zuo Bugui’s words, Long Tang’s face did not become grim, but instead, it overflowed with fighting intent.
“If he can rise up, he would be a pretty good opponent.” Long Tang’s domineering air continued to soar as if he had already been lonely in the Dan Wu Academy for too long.
Zuo Bugui rolled his eyes and said, “You are indeed a sicko! Even though I don’t know what happened to Ye Yuan, most likely he can’t cause any threat to you. After all, your cultivation realm is much higher than his.”
“It may not necessarily be so! Don’t tell me you still believe that Ye Yuan rising two minor cultivation realms in a row was the result of his father pulling the shoot to help it grow?”
Zhu Bugui shook his head and said, “Even though I don’t know how he did it, he is definitely not those sort of Third Level Essence Qi Realm with superficial foundation! From the start until now, he had continuously used over a dozen Instant Flashes and Stacking Wave Layered Palms. All these no longer support the principle where his foundation is superficial. But looking at him, he doesn’t seem to be under strain. Instead, he seems to be doing it with ease. But the question is . . . how does he do it?”
Since the start of the duel, Zuo Bugui felt that there were too many mysteries on Ye Yuan’s body. Many of the things that happened with Ye Yuan surpassed his understanding.
However, Zuo Bugui did not treat Ye Yuan as an opponent, because Ye Yuan’s realm was too low.
The accumulation of essence energy was a drawn-out process. No matter how talented someone was, this process cannot be made up for within a short period of time.
Zuo Bugui was older than Ye Yuan by two whole years. If he were a mediocre person like Fei Qingping, then there was nothing strange about being caught up by Ye Yuan.
However, Zuo Bugui himself was a genius among geniuses, the number two figure on the Martial Roll of Honor. He had his own pride. By the time Ye Yuan reached his current strength, he would definitely have taken another huge step forward.
“Looks like there are plenty of secrets on Ye Yuan. I have a feeling that before long, he will become a formidable adversary for us,” Long Tang said.
. . . . . .
Currently, Ye Yuan was looking at Fei Qingping who was on the ground. He said coldly, “I don’t care how you scold me, but if you scold my parents, I won’t stand for it. If you have the guts, try scolding another sentence. The next time I strike, it will no longer be light.”
Fei Qingping struggled up from the ground, shook his pig head, and gave a hideous smile, “Hahaha . . . Just relying on you? So what if you managed to learn the Stacking Waves Layered Palm? It’s just the First Layer Wave! Even if I let you hit me, can you even kill me? Once your essence energy is fully exhausted, you are dead! So what if I scold you?! Little bastard! Little bastard! Little bastard! Come on! Come hit me!”
This time, Fei Qingping was wiser. As he spoke, he was already on full alert and secretly revolved essence energy in preparation to use the Lesser Capturing Hand at any time.
He also knew that he could not compete in movement technique with Ye Yuan no matter what, so he simply went on the defensive.
As long as he thoroughly exhausted Ye Yuan’s essence energy, the latter would be dead!
However, this time around, Ye Yuan did not seem to have the intention of striking immediately. Instead, he looked at Fei Qingping and started smiling. Except, this smile revealed an icy intent, making the students on the grandstand shuddered invo
luntarily.
Huyan Yong narrowed his eyes. He knew that Ye Yuan really became angry. The next attack would definitely fall like a thunderbolt.
It was just that he could not imagine just how Ye Yuan would make up for the difference in cultivation realm.
Clearly, the Stacking Waves Layered Palm, First Layer Wave, had no use. Could it be that Ye Yuan still has a trump card that he has not used?
Huyan Yong began to faintly look forward to it. The Ye Yuan today had brought too many surprises for him.
“Haha! Very good. You really have balls. I’m coming. You better prepare your Lesser Capturing Hand properly.” Ye Yuan was full of smiles and even took special care to remind Fei Qingping.
The next instant, Fei Qingping discovered that Ye Yuan’s figure slowly started to blur. Immediately, he detected something was wrong, and Lesser Capturing Hand was executed without any hesitation in an attempt to slow Ye Yuan’s figure.
Yet, all of these were futile.
Ye Yuan’s figure once again appeared in front of him, and a palm was struck out immediately, almost the same as before.
“Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Second Layer Wave!”
Fei Qingping’s body flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Puhwark!
The instant he landed, Fei Qingping vomited a large mouthful of blood. It was clear that he suffered heavy internal injuries.
“Second Layer Wave! He mastered the Second Layer Wave! H-how is that possible? I-it’s only been three days!” Zuo Bugui could not believe his eyes. This scene was just too shocking!
Although the attack power only increased by four times, the cultivation difficulty was not just an increment of four times!
Long Tang once estimated previously that in order to master the Second Layer Wave, he would need to spend at least three months!
Was this fellow Ye Yuan still a human?
Although Long Tang who was by the side never spoke, the shock in his heart was no less than Zuo Bugui’s.
Mastering Second Layer Wave in three days . . . This was something that he did not even dare to imagine!
Just what on earth happened to Ye Yuan, making him so monstrous?
