Command and Stratagem

The resounding slap silenced the entire classroom instantly!

Li Qing slammed heavily against the wall, fell to the ground, and struggled to get up.

Te!

He spat out a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with three teeth!

"You...!"

Li Qing's expression gradually turned ferocious, staring intently at Qin Yan like a hungry wolf!

Han Chen lay on the ground, stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Yan's retreating figure and slowly uttered, "Thank you!"

"It's one thing for classmates to exchange ideas and practice, but to go so far as to use such force, what are you trying to do?"

Facing Li Qing's ferocious expression, Qin Yan said nonchalantly, "You look pretty defiant. How about we play a game?"

Qin Yan beckoned with his hand in a very provocative manner!

"Who is this guy? He's so arrogant!"

"Li Qing's father is the Marquis of Zhongyong, a general with real power. If this kid doesn't have a powerful background, his fate will probably be very tragic."

The surrounding students whispered among themselves, most of them wearing expressions of watching the spectacle unfold.

Seeing this, Song Qianyang and the others darkened their eyes and watched the scene indifferently from the side.

"This Count of Qinghe is young and impetuous; he doesn't know how to restrain himself even after coming to the Martial Hall!"

"Making political enemies recklessly will only bring them trouble later."

Song Qianyang scoffed inwardly, his gaze towards Qin Yan now filled with disdain!

Meanwhile, some people in the corners looked at Qin Yan, their eyes flickering as they fell into deep thought.

Li Qing was now enraged by Qin Yan's provocation. "I don't care who you are, I'll make you crawl out of here today!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

He only felt a blur before his eyes, and a tall figure had already appeared in front of him.

That condescending, indifferent gaze made Li Qing's pupils shrink, and an inexplicable sense of oppression made his heart beat a beat slower.

Snap!

Qin Yan gripped the other person's head with one hand, increasing the pressure in his palm.

The terrifying force made Li Qing feel the breath of death; his head felt as if it were being clamped tightly by a pair of vises.

He even felt like his head might explode at any moment.

His face was slightly distorted by the pressure of his hands, and the immense pain caused his body to convulse uncontrollably.

Click!

A slight crack echoed through the deathly silent classroom.

Immediately following was a collective gasp.

Everyone stared at Qin Yan in utter horror. How terrifying was that power? It was about to crush Li Qing's head!

This is bad; something terrible is about to happen.

The students' faces showed slight panic; this person was even more ruthless than they had imagined.

Qin Yan looked down at this ant he could crush at any moment. "I really liked how arrogant you were just now."

You think you can make me crawl out? You probably can't do that.

"Instructor Cao is here!"

The door was kicked open violently.

A burly, dark-bearded man stormed in, cursing, "You bunch of brats..."

Before he could finish speaking, he spotted Qin Yan!

And Li Qing, who was about to be crushed to death in the hands of the other party.

"Who are you...!"

The burly man with the black beard had a solemn expression; his body was tense, ready to fight at any moment.

"Stop!"

Boom!

Qin Yan slammed Li Qing heavily to the ground as if he were pinching a chick.

Pfft...!

Li Qing was immediately struck and coughed up blood, then fainted!

"You brat, didn't you hear me tell you to stop?"

When Instructor Cao saw Li Qing, who was coughing up blood after being hit, his lips twitched and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.

How dare you lay a hand on him? What an arrogant brat!

Swish!

With a sudden burst of power, his massive body slammed into Qin Yan like a cannonball, unleashing a punch aimed straight at Qin Yan's face!

Qin Yan grinned!

That smile sent a chill down Instructor Cao's spine; it was his body sending him a warning.

Qin Yan had already extended one foot.

In an instant, Instructor Cao's pupils contracted sharply; he wanted to stop, but it was too late.

A muffled groan was heard.

Instructor Cao instantly hunched over, groaning incessantly, a flush rising on his tanned skin, and veins bulging on his forehead!

Any student who witnessed this scene felt a dull ache in their groin.

This newcomer is amazing.

Not only did they beat up Li Qing, they also beat up the instructor.

Qin Yan smiled smugly; having long legs was definitely an advantage.

"Sorry, I didn't realize it just now."

Qin Yan smiled, but his voice was unusually mocking!

"Brother Qin is amazing!"

When Qi Hao saw Qin Yan dare to beat up the instructor, he immediately gave him a thumbs up and looked at him with admiration!

Instructor Cao is skilled in both internal and external martial arts. Although his strength has not yet reached the level of Innate Martial Artist, he can already fight on equal terms with some Xiantian masters without being at a disadvantage.

I didn't expect to be knocked down with just one kick.

Qin Yan crouched down slightly and looked at Instructor Cao: "You should be grateful I didn't use my full strength, otherwise I guarantee I'd kick your manhood to pieces!"

"Kid... hiss... you've got guts, dare to reveal your name?"

Instructor Cao's face twisted in pain.

"Qin Yan!"

Qin Yan chuckled softly, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Do you know why I beat you up?"

Instructor Cao was taken aback and looked at Qin Yan with confusion.

You arrived a long time ago, but you weren't in a hurry to come in.

You only rushed out when you realized Li Qing was in danger.

This is not how a teacher should behave.

Remember, this is just a warning. If it happens again, I'll make you regret ever being born!

In the end, Qin Yan unleashed his terrifying killing intent without hesitation.

Instructor Cao looked at Qin Yan with fear in his eyes; this man's strength far surpassed his own.

Killing him would be as easy as pie.

"Did you understand?"

"I understand."

Instructor Cao was sweating profusely, behaving very obediently, almost kneeling before Qin Yan.

What did they just say?

Instructor Cao seemed quite afraid of this new recruit!

Everyone was surprised to see Instructor Cao's timid and submissive demeanor.

The other party was a notoriously ruthless person, but unexpectedly, this newcomer managed to subdue him completely.

"Qi Hong, who is this?"

People who knew Qi Hao immediately gathered around him and asked him questions out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hao puffed out his chest and said proudly, "This is my good buddy, the newly promoted Earl of Qinghe, Qin Yan."

His Majesty has ordered him to come to the Martial Hall for further study!

The students were immediately in an uproar; they had long heard of Qin Yan's name.

It has almost become one of the goals pursued by the younger generation.

"Qin Yan actually came to the Martial Hall. Li Qing is really unlucky; he actually got into a conflict with this guy."

The way everyone looked at Qingyan changed completely, a mixture of excitement, envy, and fear!

"You are Qin Yan!"

Han Chen stared blankly at the other party. "I never expected such an important figure to actually help me."

My eyes immediately welled up with boundless gratitude!

A moment later!

Instructor Cao was carried away.

Upon learning of the situation, Xu Ce smiled in surprise, "This kid is really a troublemaker."

They beat up Li Qing and Cao Bao right away!

Looks like we need to find this kid a teacher quickly, lest he go around causing trouble for others.

Meanwhile, Qin Yan had already begun to receive systematic instruction from the Martial Hall.

Military formations, provisions, and supplies.

These are all skills they must master.
