"What? You can't discipline the dog you raised, and you think you're in the right?"
With Ding Yang's temperament, how could he possibly show weakness?
Meeting Xiang Tian's gaze, he showed no fear.
"Fine, then let me ask you. A few days ago, the pet I raised was taking a walk on the road and merely happened to appear in front of you. You whipped him eight times, splitting his skin and tearing his flesh. Tell me, had he provoked you then? If I hadn't looked into it, it really wouldn't have been easy to find you!"
Hearing Xiang Tian's words, Ding Yang looked at him as though he were an idiot, his tone dripping with disdain. "It was just a beast. Do I, Ding Yang, need a reason to beat a beast?"
"True enough. Then naturally, I don't need a reason to beat you either, do I?"
Xiang Tian smiled and kicked Ding Yang squarely in the chest, sending him flying into the wall.
Crash!
The students throughout the classroom were dumbfounded. Within Changning Immortal Academy, students who fought privately would be expelled. That was an ironclad rule!
"Brother Ding!"
Several people cried out in alarm.
"What? Want to give it a try?"
Xiang Tian looked at them. The few exchanged glances, yet none of them dared to make a move.
They were genuinely afraid. If they acted today, they would be thrown out of the academy tomorrow.
"Then behave yourselves and just watch."
Setting Little Huang down, Xiang Tian walked over to Ding Yang.
Ding Yang had just gotten to his feet. Clutching his chest, he kept sucking in cold breaths. The force of that kick had been far too great.
"I'm warning you, fighting isn't allowed in the academy. Don't think I'm afraid of you!"
Ding Yang glared at Xiang Tian through gritted teeth.
Xiang Tian's response was another punch!
It sent stars swimming before Ding Yang's eyes, while two crimson streams ran from beneath his nose.
Then came another elbow strike, smashing Ding Yang flat onto the floor.
"Fine! You really think I'm easy to bully, don't you?"
Shaking his head hard, Ding Yang looked at Xiang Tian again, his eyes bloodshot. Never in his life had he suffered such humiliation—being beaten into this state before so many people.
"You're courting death yourself. Today, I'll grant your wish. Immortal sword, come forth!"
With a loud shout from Ding Yang, a small black sword flew from his mouth. It immediately expanded at tremendous speed and stabbed toward Xiang Tian.
Its momentum was razor-sharp, making even the surrounding air hum.
"My heavens, Ding Yang actually has an immortal sword! Is he crazy? Once the immortal sword is out, that guy will definitely die!"
"It's over. This is definitely going to blow up."
Everyone was horrified, as if they could already see Xiang Tian being pierced through and torn apart by the immortal sword.
Clang!
What horrified everyone even more was that Xiang Tian directly caught that overwhelmingly powerful immortal sword in his hand.
They could clearly see a black ancient bracelet on Xiang Tian's wrist emitting a soft purple glow that covered his entire hand.
A fierce light surged in Xiang Tian's eyes. I only meant to teach you a lesson. Since you're so incapable of recognizing what's good for you, don't blame me!
Sword Qi shot into the heavens, and everything around them shattered into emptiness!
The desks and chairs made of Longevity Wood had already been shaken into powder. As the two struggled against each other, the violent spiritual power forced everyone to use their own methods to resist it.
Crack, crack, crack...
Even amid such chaos, everyone heard the strange sound of breaking with perfect clarity.
Ding Yang, who was pouring all his strength into wielding the immortal sword, suddenly went pale and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before everyone's eyes, that immortal sword was crushed to pieces by Xiang Tian's bare hand!
The brilliant radiance scattered, and countless fragments of the immortal sword fell across the ground, stripped of all immortal light. When heaven and earth returned to calm, everyone knew that a high-grade immortal treasure had just vanished like that!
Gulp...
Quite a few people swallowed with difficulty.
This guy had actually crushed Ding Yang's immortal sword with his bare hand!
This was simply outrageous. How could the person before them possibly have the ability to crush an immortal weapon?
This was a clash between second generations—whoever had the more formidable people behind them, whoever had the more awesome treasures on them, won!
Clearly, Xiang Tian had gained the upper hand this round.
"You... you actually..."
Ding Yang's hair was disheveled, and he looked like a madman. He stared at Xiang Tian but could no longer force out another word.
Xiang Tian ignored him and waved toward Little Huang behind him.
"Woof!"
Little Huang obediently ran to Xiang Tian's feet.
"The teeth I've been sharpening for you these past few days have finally come in handy. Go on!"
After hearing Xiang Tian's words, Little Huang bared his teeth, his fangs flashing with cold light. Opening his jaws wide, he bit straight at Ding Yang.
"Ah!"
The heart-rending scream made everyone tremble in fear, while the absurdly bloody sight made them unable to bear looking directly at it.
"Wuwuwu..."
Ding Yang, an eighteen-year-old Immortal Second Generation in the Nascent Soul Realm, was actually bitten to tears by a dog.
Everyone looked at him with both sympathy and the urge to laugh.
Unbeknownst to them, in a magnificent immortal estate far away, a middle-aged man suddenly awoke from meditation, fury filling his eyes.
"Why has my son's Life Immortal Sword shattered?"
Back then, to refine this sword for Ding Yang, the entire Lineage had expended enormous effort, all so he would have a means of preserving his life.
Yet now, how could his Life Immortal Sword have shattered within Changning Immortal Academy?
Ding Chongshan smashed through the bricks and tiles and flew into the sky, his vast and boundless imposing aura bursting between heaven and earth.
He was a half-step True Immortal. His fury made the entire Ding Family Immortal Mansion tremble without cease.
This action instantly threw the entire estate into an uproar.
"Pass down my order! Everyone in the Ding Family above the Ascension Realm, rush to Changning Immortal Academy at once!"
After saying that, he tore through the void and passed through it.
Within Changning Immortal Academy, Xiang Tian crouched down and patted Ding Yang. "What? You can't even endure this little bit of pain? How did you cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm? Oh, right, sorry, I forgot. That Flying Sword of yours earlier felt like it was a Life Artifact."
"Oh dear, I'm terribly sorry. I didn't control my strength just now and accidentally crushed your Life Artifact. You'd better hold on—don't let anything happen to you. I can't afford to compensate for the life of a young master of the Ding Family!"
Xiang Tian's words made everyone present feel their scalps go numb.
That immortal sword was actually Ding Yang's Life Artifact!
Good heavens—Ding Yang had failed to take his life, but this guy had directly severed eighty percent of Ding Yang's chance at life! And he was still saying such things now. Wouldn't that anger Ding Yang to death?
Once a Life Artifact was refined, it became connected to the foundation of one's Great Dao. Once it shattered, not only would one's cultivation aptitude plummet, even one's life might not be preserved.
Ding Yang's former lackeys immediately turned pale, their eyes filled with endless terror as they looked at Xiang Tian.
In an instant, everyone felt the entire Immortal Academy shake several times. The spiritual power between heaven and earth began to surge madly, growing chaotic to the extreme.
A furious roar rang through heaven and earth.
"Why has my son Ding Yang's Life Artifact shattered?! Old Man Qiu, get out here and explain yourself!"
Everyone looked out the window in terror. Black clouds blotted out the sun, while a large force stood in the air, brimming with murderous momentum!
While everyone trembled in fear, Ding Yang on the ground began to laugh.
"Hehehe, brat, let's see how you run today!"
Yet Xiang Tian's response was a merciless kick, sending Ding Yang crashing into the wall hard enough to leave a dent. He fell to the ground and no longer moved, his life and death unclear.
"What the hell? You talk way too much!"
Awesome. Domineering. Those were the only thoughts in the classroom now. The elders had already arrived at the Immortal Academy, yet he still dared act like this. He truly was the first of his kind in the academy's history!
