Ye Yuan could not be bothered with other people’s astonishment and slowly walked in front of Fei Qingping.
“You said that I can’t kill you? Who do you think you are? You are nothing but a dog of Wan Yuan,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Fei Qingping wanted to say something but vomited another mouthful of blood instead.
A First Layer Wave was two times the power, and a Second Layer Wave was four times the power.
Using Ye Yuan’s abundant essence energy to unleash four times the power? Fei Qingping’s essence energy shield was no longer sufficient.
That palm just now directly shattered Fei Qingping’s essence energy shield and made an imprint on his chest.
Ye Yuan did not hold back his attack at all, directly shattering Fei Qingping’s internal organs, and snapping his heart meridian.
With regards to Fei Qingping, Ye Yuan had long sentenced him to death in his heart.
His predecessor died because of Fei Qingping. Ye Yuan inherited this body, so he naturally could feel his predecessor’s resentment before dying.
Now that he killed Fei Qingping, Ye Yuan can be considered to have taken revenge for his predecessor.
“Cough, cough, cough . . . Ye Yuan, even if I become a ghost . . . I won’t let you off!” Fei Qingping struggled to stand up to no avail.
“Haha! Then I will make sure that you can’t even become a ghost.” Ye Yuan followed up with another palm, thoroughly ending Fei Qingping’s life.
From the start to the end, Fei Qingping never even made a single move.
On the grandstand, everyone was completely dumbstruck looking at the Ye Yuan in the combat arena. This Ten Thousand Years Last Place gave them too many surprises today.
Killing a Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm as a Third Level Essence Qi Realm! Instant Flash at the great circle stage! Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Second Layer Wave!
Anyone of these things could shake Dan Wu Academy, but all three things happened on Ye Yuan alone.
“Deathmatch, Fei Qingping died! Ye Yuan wins!” Huyan Yong finally recovered from his shock and announced the results of the deathmatch.
Ye Yuan bowed towards Huyan Yong and said, “You’ve worked hard, Teacher Huyan.”
Ye Yuan bowed deeply towards the grandstand and said with a face full of gratitude, “Many thanks to all Senior Apprentice Brothers and Sisters for supporting. To actually know this Junior Apprentice Brother, I, am lacking Essence Qi Pills for cultivation. It makes me overwhelmed by this favor! I hope that all Senior Apprentice Brothers and Sisters will pay back the debt and not let Junior Apprentice Brother, I, go and look for you. That wouldn’t look very nice.”
The audience who were initially still immersed in the shock were now full of resentment and contempt.
Isn’t this Ye Yuan’s appearance when he is eating too ugly?
This was a threat! A blatant threat!
“Haha! This Ye Yuan is interesting. With the large mountain Ye Hang, behind his back, how could he be lacking in these sort of things like Essence Qi Pills?” Zuo Bugui could not hold back his laughter when he saw Ye Yuan’s sordid merchant-like appearance.
“This trip wasn’t wasted. Let’s go,” Long Tang said nonchalantly.
“Hehehe. Wasn’t wasted, wasn’t wasted. Looks like Dan Wu Academy will be fun in the future.”
. . . . . .
“Ye Yuan! If I don’t tear you to shreds, I can’t get rid of the hatred in my heart!”
Wan Yuan laid on the bed with horrific whip marks visible on his back.
Wan Yuan received the news of Fei Qingping being killed by Ye Yuan at the first moment. Immediately, the hatred in his heart surged to the skies.
He still had to go and receive his whip punishment under this sort of circumstance. This made his hatred towards Ye Yuan reached the absolute limit.
A hundred whips later, Wan Yuan’s skin was split, and his flesh all torn up. He fainted straightaway on the spot.
At this time, Wan Yuan’s deep family background revealed itself.
He had consumed two high-grade Great Returning Pills, and the injuries on his body were quickly suppressed. Coupled with some external wound medicines, it would take at most seven or eight days before Wan Yuan would be as good as new.
It was just that although physical injuries healed easily, the emotional wounds were heavy.
No matter what, Fei Qingping and he grew up playing together. Although they were master and servant in name, in reality, they were as close as real brothers.
Wan Yuan never expected that Ye Yuan would improve at such an amazing speed, to actually kill the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm Fei Qingping as a Third Level Essence Qi Realm.
If he knew this beforehand, then he would not have sent Fei Qingping to his death like that.
Just as Wan Yuan was wallowing in his hatred, Liu Ruoshui slowly walked in, as graceful and attractive as before.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Wan, please restrain your grief. To think that Ye Yuan was such a despicable person who planned such a trap for Junior Apprentice Brother Fei to fall into. He is so devious!” Liu Ruoshui just happened to reveal a sorrowful expression, making her look pitiable and delicate.
Wan Yuan could not get up, but he was very touched by the fact that Liu Ruoshui came to visit him at this time.
“Many thanks, Junior Apprentice Sister Liu. I was definitely careless. My father fought with Ye Hang for so many years, and I have also fought with Ye Yuan for so many years. All these while, I had always thought that I understood him very well, so I felt that he was a good for nothing. But I never expected him to have hidden his ability this deep,” Wan Yuan said hatefully.
Liu Ruoshui said, “Yeah, we misjudged. To think he was actually pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger all this while! I reckon that the poisoning incident previously thoroughly infuriated him. That’s why he decided to meet that scheme with his own, luring Junior Apprentice Brother Fei to get hooked by the bait.”
Wan Yuan gritted his teeth and said, “Ye Yuan! You and I, one of us must die! Furthermore, he is advancing too quickly. I can’t let him continue to grow!”
It was clear that through this deathmatch, Wan Yuan had already deeply felt the pressure.
The strength that Ye Yuan displayed was too dazzling. Even though he might be a genius that was being heavily groomed by the Dan Wu Academy, he was certain that he could not train the Stacking Waves Layered Palm to such a degree after examining himself.
If he gave Ye Yuan a little more time, he might actually really be able to threaten him.
Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Second Layer Wave, and great circle stage Instant Flash. If he let Ye Yuan grow unchecked, he will soon no longer be his match.
Wan Yuan obviously did not know that Ye Yuan had already finished off someone on his level, the assassin Chou Ying.
If it were a deathmatch, Ye Yuan could already kill him.
Liu Ruoshui wholeheartedly agreed with this. “That’s right. Ye Yuan is too devious, and he also has ulterior motives. Senior Apprentice Brother Wan had better find a way to quickly deal with him.”
Liu Ruoshui no longer had any choice. Right now, she and Wan Yuan were like grasshoppers on the same string. She had plotted against Ye Yuan before, so Ye Yuan would not let her go. That was why she came over to urge Wan Yuan to quickly deal with Ye Yuan.
“But the academy doesn’t permit students to take action privately. Otherwise, they will be punished severely,” Wan Yuan frowned as he said this.
In reality, even if Wan Yuan was to personally take action right now, he did not have much assurance that he could kill Ye Yuan. That great circle stage Instant Flash placed him in a virtually undefeatable position.
“Did you two forget that the Endless Trials will start one month from now?”
Suddenly, a voice appeared, making Wan Yuan and Liu Ruoshui jumped in fright.
“It’s Senior Apprentice Brother Su! Apologies, Senior
Apprentice Brother Su. Wan Yuan is injured, so it’s inconvenient to greet you.” Wan Yuan’s face was full of apologies.
The one who came was precisely Su Yishan, an extraordinary top ten figure on the Martial Roll of Honor.
Liu Ruoshui naturally did not dare to slight him either. She got up gracefully and greeted, “I’ve seen Senior Apprentice Brother Su.”
Su Yishan gave her a faint look but did not express anything. Without any care, he sat down by the side as if this was his home.
The Dan Wu Academy was a place that advocated talent and strength. If one had the strength, then nobody would dare to say anything even if he was somewhat arrogant. If one did not, then he could only be stepped underfoot by others.
In the past, Ye Yuan was the Ten Thousand Years Last Place, so there had never been anyone who looked up to him. But now that he soared up to the skies in one move, everyone would naturally take him seriously.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Su, just now you said . . . the Endless Trials? That’s right! Why didn’t I think of it?” Wan Yuan became excited, and pushed with his hand, agitating his wounds. Immediately, his face contorted in agony.
By the side, Liu Ruoshui’s eyes also lit up. It was clear that she also understood Su Yishan’s intentions.
“That’s right, the Endless Trials. The Endless Forest is naturally the ideal location to deal with Ye Yuan,” Su Yishan commented calmly.
Chapter 35
Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor
The Endless Trials was actually a hunting exercise for the Dan Wu Academy’s students to temper themselves.
There were countless demonic beasts inside the Endless Forest. So it was naturally the ideal location to temper the students. Of course, these sort of tempering would often be accompanied by injuries and death.
In the past trials, many genius students ended up in the bellies of demonic beasts.
The Dan Wu Academy was never a utopia. This place was even crueler than the outside world. The weak was destined to be eliminated.
It was a world where the strong ruled.
The Dan Wu Academy provided geniuses with a relatively safe environment for competition. But a greenhouse could never nurture a true powerhouse. Without the baptism of fresh blood, these geniuses would never mature.
There were all sorts of conflicts in the academy. These conflicts had to have a release point, and that release point was precisely the Endless Trials.
The grudges that could not be settled within the academy could be dealt with during the Endless Trials.
Although the academy would repeatedly emphasize that they were not allowed to make a move on their companions during the Endless Trials, in reality, the academy tacitly approved of students utilizing this opportunity to settle their grudges.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Su indeed has broad horizons, to have already chosen a burial ground for Ye Yuan,” Liu Ruoshui praised.
Su Yishan gave Liu Ruoshui a contemplating look, and she blushed bashfully, making her appear highly bewitching.
Liu Ruoshui did not have a good family background. She was born from a small family’s concubine and enjoyed extremely few resources since young. However, her talent was pretty good, reaching Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm at 14 years old. This was how she got recruited by the Dan Wu Academy.
If she had not entered the Dan Wu Academy, Liu Ruoshui would have long been sent out as a gift by her family. She was full of hatred towards the Liu Family. She hoped that one day, she could return to smack the faces of those elders to let them see that even without the support of the family, she, Liu Ruoshui, could still rise above others!
Yet, after entering the Dan Wu Academy, Liu Ruoshui realized just how many incredibly talented people there were. She felt that her talent was not inferior to these geniuses, but that her background limited her growth.
What Liu Ruoshui lacked the most was resources so she would try every mean to hang around men just so she could obtain enough cultivation resources.
Liu Ruoshui possessed a naturally attractive body and was the dual cultivation partner that all men dreamed of having. This was also her most significant capital, so she used this capital to walk among men, hoping to find a large tree to climb up.
Big shots like Su Yishan would not even fancy Liu Ruoshui, and Liu Ruoshui understood that even if they took a liking to her, she would only end up as their plaything.
So Liu Ruoshui set her sights on those geniuses who had yet to mature, and that person was Wan Yuan.
In reality, Liu Ruoshui had also considered Ye Yuan before, because Ye Yuan was easier to control than Wan Yuan. Looking at their background, these two people were actually roughly the same. But in terms of future, Wan Yuan left Ye Yuan several streets behind.
Wan Yuan was full of schemes, possessed strength, and even had an Alchemy Grandmaster for a father. There was no better choice than him.
Furthermore, Wan Yuan did not disappoint her and was currently already deeply in love with her.
Liu Ruoshui had also just advanced to Earth Rank not long ago and did not have much contact with this sort of extraordinary genius like Su Yishan. However, just this one glance made Liu Ruoshui feel like he stripped her clothes off, making her very uncomfortable.
“Junior Apprentice Sister Liu isn’t bad,” after that contemplating smile, Su Yishan only said a sentence lightly; not understanding what he was trying to express either.
After that, he no longer bothered with Liu Ruoshui and carried talking with Wan Yuan.
“At that time, I will cooperate with you to eliminate Ye Yuan. After losing his son, Ye Hang would definitely lose his composure. At that time, our two families will join hands, and we can pull the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion up by the roots. If Ye Hang attacks first, I believe the Imperial Family can’t say anything about it.”
Hearing Su Yishan’s words, Wan Yuan’s gaze became sharp, and he said excitedly, “Senior Apprentice Brother Su will personally take action? That’s great! Honestly speaking, with Ye Yuan’s great circle stage Instant Flash, even if I use my full strength, I might not be able to keep him there. With Senior Apprentice Brother Su personally moving out, there will be no escape for Ye Yuan this time!”
Liu Ruoshui felt a little chill in her heart. Su Yishan’s methods are terrifying. She and Wan Yuan were only thinking of how to deal with Ye Yuan, but Su Yishan already included the entire Fragrant Medicine Pavilion into his scheme.
Su Family’s primary source of income similarly was through medicinal herbs and pills. They had deep connections with the Drunken Star Manor, so the two families were always on good terms.
Su Family was the largest medicinal herbs provider in the State of Qin. In most cases, Su Family only provided the medicinal herbs and did not interfere with the refinement or sale of medicinal pills.
But who knew what channels Ye Hang went through, to not go through the Su Family for all of his medicinal herbs. This naturally made the Su Family hate Ye Hang.
In the capital, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion and the Drunken Star Manor were like two tigers who could not tolerate the other’s existence on the same mountain. The two families had fought for so many years, and the Imperial Family had already given tacit consent to this delicate balance.
But the Su Family strongly disliked the existence of Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, because the latter occupied a considerable share of the medicinal pills market which also meant that the Su Family’s profits were reduced by quite a bit.
But, one had to acknowledge that Ye Hang was remarkable in terms of businesses and operations. The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion’s prices were fair, and they had never bullied customers with their power. Their prestige among the demonic beast hunters was very good.
The Su Family and the Wan Family had created obstacles both openly and in the shadows countless times, and yet, they had never dealt any real damage to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.
Su Yishan wanted to use Ye Yuan as the pivotal point to pull the F
ragrant Medicine Pavilion up by its roots.
To be able to devise such a setup and also be so scheming at such a young age, one had to acknowledge that Su Yishan was an outlaw-like figure.
After Su Yishan left, Liu Ruoshui’s eyes were sparkling as she said, “Congratulations, Senior Apprentice Brother Wan! With Senior Apprentice Brother Su’s help, Ye Yuan is definitely dead this time. Not only Ye Yuan, but your Lord Father’s thorn in the eye can also be removed this time as well!”
Wan Yuan did not have Liu Ruoshui’s excitement, as if he was a completely different person from just now when Su Yishan was here.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Su is feeling threatened!” sucking in a deep breath, Wan Yuan said in a low voice.
“You are saying . . . Ye Yuan?” Liu Ruoshui was also an intelligent person. Now that Wan Yuan said this, she immediately understood, but she was frightened by this thought.
To the academy’s students, those in the Martial Roll of Honor’s and Alchemy Roll of Honor’s top ten were all figures that they had to look up to. An extraordinary genius like him actually felt threatened by a Third Level Essence Qi Realm?
It was too inconceivable . . .
. . . . . .
At Ye Yuan’s abode, Lu-er stared at her young master fiddling with Essence Qi Pills that filled up the house.
Ye Yuan retrieved six Essence Qi Pills and placed them separately at the six corners of a pre-drawn hexagon array.
Slightly injecting some essence energy, the array immediately gave off a faint white light, and the six Essence Qi Pills actually started to melt slowly, converging at the center of the hexagon array.
After a while, the light faded, and the liquefied pills started to reform again at the center. It actually reformed into a single medicinal pill!
The reformed medicinal pill, just from the luster of it, one could clearly tell that it was much stronger than the original high-grade Essence Qi Pills.
“Young Master, is this a transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill?” Lu-er grew up in the Ye Family since young, and naturally was not a stranger to medicinal pills.
High-grade Essence Qi Pills were relatively common but transcendent-grade . . . If Ye Hang performed exceptionally well, then it would be pretty good to have one of these in a furnace of medicinal pills.
