Ever since Chu Qing smashed the Stone Man apart, the Martial Academy's rules had changed.
The new rule was—Chu Qing did not need to follow the Martial Academy's rules.
He could kill people within the Martial Academy.
He could demand any resources he wanted without restraint.
But no one else could harm him.
And if he needed it, others even had to hand their own resources over to Chu Qing.
When this new rule appeared, every prodigy in the Martial Academy—even the Martial Masters—was utterly dumbfounded.
"Why?"
"Everyone has to follow the rules. Why doesn't he?"
Someone sneered. "Smash a Stone Man apart, and you won't have to follow the Martial Academy's rules either!"
"Right. Can you do that?"
That prodigy fell silent.
If I could smash a Stone Man apart, I would have done it long ago.
At this moment:
Many prodigies were unwilling to accept it and refused to submit.
They wanted privileges too.
Then:
Nearly every prodigy went to challenge the Stone Man.
One hour...
Three hours...
One day...
All the prodigies used every method at their disposal, launching frenzied attacks against the Stone Man.
Some even wielded divine weapons and wore full armor. Groups of three to five, even more than ten people, joined forces, yet they still could not smash the Stone Man apart.
This Stone Man was too hard.
It simply could not be broken.
Not even a little.
Despair!
Helplessness!
At that moment, they truly realized that the gap between themselves and Chu Qing was as vast as Heaven and earth.
Some were completely convinced.
Some remained unwilling.
They wanted to make trouble for Chu Qing and ask whether he had used some special item or treasure to smash the Stone Man apart.
However:
Before they could question him, Wang Fan stopped them.
