Thrown Out

As Shen Yue's fist was slowly pried open by Nie Li, Shen Yue's face contorted in pain, and his followers were stunned.

"What's going on? What happened to Boss Shen Yue?"

They stared blankly at Shen Yue. In their eyes, Shen Yue should have been more than enough to teach Nie Li a lesson, so why was Shen Yue showing such a pained expression? What was happening?

Du Ze, Lu Piao, and the others were not surprised by this scene; they remained composed. Since practicing the cultivation technique Nie Li had taught them, their cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. Although their Soul Power hadn't reached 100 yet, their strength had already greatly increased.

The divine technique Nie Li practiced must be even more powerful than theirs. They wondered what level Nie Li's cultivation had reached; suppressing Shen Yue would surely be child's play!

What they didn't know was that Nie Li's current cultivation speed was actually slower than theirs. Although his strength was still relatively weak, with Nie Li's vast and profound knowledge from his previous life, even an ordinary person who hadn't undergone any cultivation would have no trouble dealing with Shen Yue.

Nie Li said coldly, "Ye Ziyun isn't someone you can call whenever you please. If I catch you stalking Ye Ziyun again, I'll beat you every time I see you!" Having been reborn, Nie Li would not allow anyone to harbor ill intentions towards Ye Ziyun! That kind of shared life and death, mutual dependence, was something a nobody like Shen Yue could never understand.

"This is impossible! How could I possibly lose!" Shen Yue felt an intense unwillingness within him. He never would have imagined that he would be defeated by Nie Li. His expression turned ferocious, "You forced me!"

Shen Yue's Soul Sea surged, and waves of soul power erupted from his body, bombarding Nie Li.

Although he hadn't mastered Demon Spirit combat skills, Shen Yue could already directly attack Nie Li's Soul Sea with his soul power.

Shen Yue's soul power had reached 78, while Nie Li's soul power was only a little over thirty, just two days after it was 5.

Nie Li's soul power was only half of Shen Yue's!

"This is bad. Nie Li only started cultivating his soul power two days ago; his soul power shouldn't be able to match Shen Yue's," Du Ze's expression changed. Unfortunately, they were too far away, and Shen Yue's followers, six of whom were Bronze-level, blocked them, making it impossible for them to get close.

Shen Yue activated his Soul Sea to its maximum, and soul power surged towards Nie Li.

"Haha, such weak soul power, and you dare to be arrogant in front of me!" Shen Yue felt Nie Li's soul power was extremely weak. With his soul power's intensity, he could completely crush Nie Li!

"Ignorant fool!" Nie Li sneered contemptuously. In his past life, he had challenged countless Demon Spirit Masters and innumerable powerful super demon beasts. Besides immense soul power, these Demon Spirit Masters and super demon beasts had also reached the pinnacle of control over soul power.

Although Nie Li's soul power was still weak in this life, the experience accumulated from countless life-and-death duels in his previous life, and his control over his soul, remained. Even with only thirty-something soul power now, even a true Bronze Demon Spirit Master wouldn't be able to gain any advantage against him!

Shen Yue's use of soul power was crude and simplistic. The mere act of channeling soul power to bombard the opponent's Soul Sea, in Nie Li's eyes, was no different from the barbarism of some mountain tribes.

Soul power wasn't meant to be used like that!

In Nie Li's view, Shen Yue was full of openings. If Nie Li wished, Shen Yue would be a corpse on the ground within a breath. However, the City of Brilliance did not permit killing, especially not in a sacred place like Sacred Lan Academy.

Nie Li couldn't be bothered to kill Shen Yue because, in Nie Li's opinion, Shen Yue posed no threat to him whatsoever!

Would a tiger consider a chicken a threat?

It was laughable that some people were completely unaware of their own limitations. Shen Yue felt his soul power breaking through like a hot knife through butter, and his face lit up with wild joy. He could almost imagine Nie Li's pained expression.

Just as Shen Yue's soul power was about to strike Nie Li's Soul Sea, Nie Li's soul power condensed into a beam, like a fine needle, piercing towards Shen Yue's soul power.

Breaking through the surface with a single point!

Shen Yue's soul power was spread out evenly, while Nie Li's soul power condensed into a very fine beam. Although Nie Li only used a small portion of his soul power, he easily broke into Shen Yue's soul power.

"Ah!" Shen Yue let out a piercing, pig-like scream. Wherever Nie Li's soul power went, Shen Yue's soul power collapsed. Nie Li's soul power directly struck Shen Yue's Soul Sea.

His Soul Sea felt a piercing pain, and large beads of sweat rolled down Shen Yue's body. He gasped for air as if he had seen something terrifying.

His Soul Sea trembled, his mind was shaken, and Shen Yue's vision gradually blurred. The Nie Li in front of him loomed like a majestic mountain, making him feel an insurmountable sense of resistance! Nie Li's cold, stern expression sent shivers down his spine.

Nie Li's eyes were like a drawn sword. In his previous life, he had experienced countless life-and-death battles, and countless powerful individuals had died under Nie Li's palm. After transmigrating back, Nie Li's soul still carried a chilling, bone-piercing coldness. This terrifying aura was something a brat like Shen Yue couldn't possibly contend with.

Shen Yue's courage was shattered, and his pants grew wet; he had been scared shitless.

"What's going on? What happened?" Shen Yue's Bronze 1-star followers nearby looked confused.

They clearly felt that Shen Yue's soul power was much stronger than Nie Li's and that he had the advantage. Why was Shen Yue's Soul Sea the one that collapsed in the end? What had just happened?

Nie Li's movements were too fast; they hadn't even reacted!

"He actually wet himself from fear, how disgusting. A good-for-nothing like you dares to threaten me. I don't have time to waste with you, get lost, and stay away from me from now on!" Nie Li grabbed Shen Yue. Shen Yue's body was actually lifted by Nie Li's single hand. He flicked his wrist and threw him outside.

Shen Yue was thrown out the window, landing heavily on the ground and kicking up thick dust.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

Shen Yue's followers rushed out and helped Shen Yue up. They saw that his pants were soaked.

"Hurry and take me away!" Shen Yue's pupils constricted. He was still in a state of intense fear, and a warm stream flowed down his crotch.

Shen Yue's followers quickly dragged him away.

The students in the library who knew Nie Li and Shen Yue were all dumbfounded. Nie Li had actually lifted Shen Yue with one hand and thrown him out the window! Was this a dream?

In the beginner class for Martial Apprentice, Nie Li's talent was in no way comparable to Shen Yue's. Everyone thought Nie Li was going to be taught a lesson, but unexpectedly, it was Shen Yue who was taught a lesson!

Although many people hadn't clearly seen the exchange, Shen Yue's defeat was an undeniable fact.

"Haha, Shen Yue actually wet his pants from fear. This clearly means his Soul Sea was breached. Could Nie Li's soul power already be stronger than Shen Yue's?"

"I heard that Nie Li made an agreement with Instructor Shen Xiu! If he reached Bronze 1-star within two months, Instructor Shen Xiu would automatically resign. So Nie Li was confident from the start!"

"Nie Li only has a Red Soul Sea, how did he improve so quickly?"

The students in the library buzzed with discussion.

Nie Li exchanged glances with Du Ze, Lu Piao, and the others. Du Ze and Lu Piao's faces flushed with excitement and joy. Teaching Shen Yue a lesson today was incredibly satisfying. Shen Yue had always been arrogant in class, and they had long been annoyed by him!

The incident in the library stirred up a small ripple among the students, but it had little impact on the vast Sacred Lan Academy and soon subsided. Nie Li and the others continued to focus on their training.

Shen Xiu's office.

"What did you say? You were thrown out of the library by Nie Li?" Shen Xiu's face was grim, "Your strength is already 63, and your Soul Power is 78. Could Nie Li be stronger than you?"

Shen Yue recalled what had just happened and still felt lingering fear. That chilling killing intent had left a deep shadow in his heart. Every time he thought about it, he was still terrified, his Soul Sea churning. It would take at least a month to calm down, and his cultivation progress would likely be very slow.

"Auntie, that Nie Li fellow knows sorcery. His strength is clearly weaker than mine, but the moment he grabbed my wrist, my entire arm lost all strength. My Soul Power is clearly much stronger than his, but for some reason, the instant it touched his Soul Power, mine collapsed." Shen Yue recalled, still full of confusion. To this day, he still didn't understand how he had lost!

Shen Yue's face was ashen, so angry he almost twitched. Wetting himself out of fear, this was too embarrassing!

Nie Li, I'm not done with you! Shen Yue clenched his fists, the sound of them cracking. This hatred is irreconcilable!

"Then how much strength and Soul Power does he have?" Shen Xiu's brows furrowed. She naturally wouldn't forget the agreement between her and Nie Li. If Nie Li reached the Bronze 1-star Realm within two months, she would have to resign automatically!

"His strength is at most 30, and his Soul Power is probably at most 10!" Shen Yue stated his feelings.

"Trash, and you still lost like that?" Shen Xiu cursed.

Shen Yue opened his mouth to retort, but could only shut it aggrievedly. He also hadn't expected at all that he would lose. Nie Li's Soul Power was clearly so weak, yet he could defeat him so easily and break through his Soul Power!

"Perhaps this kid is skilled in controlling strength and Soul Power!" Shen Xiu had seen some things in her life. She guessed, "Some people, although their Soul Power is weak, possess strong control talent and can defeat stronger opponents. However, for him to reach the Bronze 1-star Realm within two months is not that simple!" Shen Xiu snorted lightly.

"Mhm." Shen Yue nodded. Nie Li's interactions with Ye Ziyun made him feel a strong sense of threat. He hoped Nie Li would drop out of school quickly and get lost far away!
