Long Aotian and Ye Liangchen [Monday, Please Vote with Recommendation Tickets~]

Long Aotian and Ye Liangchen, younger brother and older brother, were both renowned throughout the academy.

One was the top student of the Heavenly Micro Level, while the other was the top student of the Heavenly Supreme Level. Both were outstanding among their peers.

Unless Heaven Dou Class students above level thirty stepped in, this academy belonged to the two brothers.

"Brat, since you know my great name, will you obediently leave Ye Lingling's side yourself, or do you want me to throw you out?"

Long Aotian wore an arrogant expression as he cast Fang Xuan an indifferent glance. He did not take this pretty-boy, who was better-looking than himself, seriously at all.

He knew all the notable experts in the academy, yet he had never seen Fang Xuan before. In his eyes, Fang Xuan had only won Ye Lingling over with that pretty face of his!

What did Long Aotian have to fear from such a freeloader?

The corners of Fang Xuan's lips rose slightly as he said calmly, "Summon your Spirit!"

"You don't know what's good for you. Don't blame me for being merciless!"

Long Aotian's expression turned cold. Golden Soul Power rose from his body, and with a loud roar, the entire restaurant suddenly shook. A crimson-gold Mountain-Splitting Axe Spirit appeared in his hand.

Then, two yellow Soul Rings rose up, and the aura of a Soul Grandmaster rippled outward!

"Brat, take my axe!"

Long Aotian's entire body gleamed with golden light. Raising his Mountain-Splitting Axe Spirit high, he brought it crashing down toward Fang Xuan's head with a fierce gust of wind!

"Blade Drawing Technique!"

A sharp gleam burst from Fang Xuan's deep eyes. His right hand gripped the hilt, and he suddenly drew his blade.

The Shadowless Blade slipped free of its sheath, transforming into a streak of icy light as it collided head-on with the Mountain-Splitting Axe.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion rang out.

Before everyone's astonished eyes, Long Aotian sprayed blood wildly as his body flew backward out of control. He smashed through three to five tables and chairs in succession, while even his Mountain-Splitting Axe Spirit seemed to suffer severe damage, becoming incredibly dim before turning into a streak of light and automatically returning to his body in the blink of an eye.

"Pfft... cough, cough... No! That's impossible! What did you do..."

Long Aotian's face changed drastically as he stared at Fang Xuan in the distance in disbelief.

One slash!

Just one slash!

He felt as if he had been struck by a mountain. Agonizing pain racked his entire body, and that terrifying force had sent him flying, even severely damaging his Spirit in the process. Just who was this guy?

As Fang Xuan approached with his blade in hand, Long Aotian's body hair stood on end. He looked at Fang Xuan as if he were looking at a monster. "Y-you... what are you trying to do?!"

Fang Xuan's expression was cold. Icy light flowed along the Shadowless Blade as he stepped before Long Aotian and looked down at him, his Killing Intent surging. He suddenly asked, "Hey, do you have any money on you?"

Long Aotian froze before instinctively replying, "Yes."

"How much?"

"Not much. Just two hundred Gold Soul Coins."

"Damn, aren't you supposed to be number one? How are you this poor?"

"I originally had tens of thousands, but I spent it all on girls. Yet I didn't manage to win over a single one—not even hold their hands. Sigh~"

"Fine. Hand over all your money, and I'll let you off."

Right in front of everyone, Fang Xuan openly extorted money. The people nearby were utterly dumbfounded.

"What a big bad wolf..."

Ye Lingling pursed her lips slightly. Fang Xuan's heroic bearing when he defeated Long Aotian with a single slash had made her heart flutter a little, but he completely disregarded his image and openly demanded money from Long Aotian.

At that moment, the valiant image Fang Xuan had just established in her heart instantly collapsed!

"Not bad, not bad. I earned two hundred Gold Soul Coins..."

Fang Xuan happily counted the money he had robbed from Long Aotian, feeling thoroughly satisfied.

After beating the younger one, the older one would come out.

That was always how things went.

But this time, Fang Xuan had no intention of following the usual script.

"Are you planning to go back and call your brother?"

He noticed a flash of resentment in Long Aotian's eyes and immediately guessed that the latter wanted to call someone to help him regain face. Thus, he said flatly, "No need to go through all that trouble. I'll go with you and deal with your brother while I'm at it!!"

Long Aotian: "???"

Twenty minutes later, at the Intermediate Training Ground.

Fang Xuan, Ye Lingling, and Long Aotian arrived at the center of the Training Ground together.

It was noon, and the blazing sun hung high in the sky. Warm sunlight poured down freely, filtering through mottled leaves and shining upon the group of youths training below.

These youths were all Heavenly Supreme Level students, with Soul Power around levels 25 to 30—one tier above the Heavenly Micro Level students. At Heaven Dou Academy, these Heavenly Supreme Level students could be considered the academy's future backbone.

Among these Heavenly Supreme Level students stood a young man in his twenties at the head of the group. He was somewhat older than the rest, and the glow of Soul Power around him was also noticeably more brilliant!

After circulating his Soul Power for a while, the young man let out a long breath and gradually Awakened from his cultivation state. The azure Soul Power around his body slowly receded, and his aura seemed slightly stronger than before.

He slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the increase in Soul Power within his body, a trace of delight appeared on his face.

Three figures were reflected in those pitch-black pupils. The young man paused slightly, then gradually frowned. "Aotian, why are you here?!"

Of the three who had come, one was his younger brother, Long Aotian; one was Nine Heart Begonia Ye Lingling; and the other was a black-haired youth he had never seen before.

"Brother..."

Long Aotian timidly walked up to Ye Liangchen and said awkwardly, "I... I brought someone here to beat you up."

"???"

Ye Liangchen was utterly bewildered. He glared and said, "Aotian, what did you say? Is your skin itching for a beating?!"

Although the two had different surnames, they were indeed biological brothers. One had taken their father's surname, while the other had taken their mother's. Ye Liangchen was the elder brother, and Long Aotian the younger. The two brothers had always been close.

But today, Ye Liangchen felt that his little brother was asking for a beating.

"No! That's not it!"

Long Aotian realized he had misspoken and hurriedly waved his hands. "It was this guy who made me bring him here to beat you up!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Fang Xuan across from him, looking utterly innocent.

"Huh? What happened? Aotian, did you cause trouble again?" Ye Liangchen raised an eyebrow and casually glanced at Fang Xuan, his heart full of confusion.

"Well, I was the one who started it at first, but now he just won't let it go. He insisted on coming to cause us trouble." Long Aotian looked remorseful, regretting that he had provoked a menace like Fang Xuan.

Ye Liangchen's aura was far stronger than Long Aotian's. He seemed to have already broken through level thirty. Looking across the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he was one of the strongest.

His icy gaze swept over Ye Liangchen. Fang Xuan's lips curled into a faint smile as he said calmly, "Ye Liangchen, don't be surprised, and don't be confused. To keep you from coming to cause me trouble, I came to wipe you out first!"
