"This guy... is so disgusting!"

The watching spectators could not help but think to themselves.

"Your school's students are certainly... lively. As expected of an academy of wind, every child is like a little wind spirit."

The dean of Blazing Fire Academy happened to be seated beside Godwind Academy. He forced a straight face as he spoke.

"..."

A moment ago, the dean of Godwind Academy had still been proud that Feng Xiaotian had successfully avoided Qin Qi's attack.

But now, he wanted nothing more than to find a hole and crawl into it. This was far too embarrassing! Who was this idiot?!

"Boss, we came here to fight. Watch your image."

The other members of Godwind Academy could not help reminding him.

"Whatever. Seeing that helpless look on Qin Qi's face feels great."

"Ahahaha, hit me! You can't hit me, can you? Hey, I'm coming down—now I'm going back up! Hahaha!"

Feng Xiaotian had been holding himself back for far too long. Now that he finally had a chance to let loose, he was completely immersed in his own art and could not pull himself out.

"This is really annoying."

An irritated expression appeared on Qin Qi's face. To be honest, if this dragged on, he would definitely win in the end.

After all, his physical strength barely consumed anything, while Feng Xiaotian needed to expend soul power to fly through the air.

But seeing that smug expression on the other man's face just annoyed him. If a fight was not satisfying, what was the point of winning?

Bang!

Qin Qi stomped his foot, crushing the arena beneath him, then picked up the shattered stones.

After gathering strength, he hurled them directly at Feng Xiaotian.

Bang!

The stone Qin Qi threw in his irritation exploded with a deafening sonic boom!

"Uh..."

Feng Xiaotian was no longer acting so cocky. He touched his cheek. The stone had just flown past him.

It had not hit him, but the airflow it carried had still sliced open his face. He froze instantly.

"Eh!"

At that moment, Qin Qi suddenly had an epiphany, like when you were studying.

At first, nothing made sense, and you yawned from boredom. Then suddenly—eh—you got it, as though enlightenment had been poured straight into your head!

"Why do I have to use soul power to throw things at people? I can just pick up rocks and throw them at him!"

"With my current strength, a stone thrown with all my might might not be any weaker than a soul skill!"

Qin Qi immediately began tearing apart the arena, picking up stones and hurling them at Feng Xiaotian in the sky.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't mess around!"

"I'll die! If I get hit, I really will die!"

Watching those stones create sonic booms one after another, Feng Xiaotian desperately dodged, cold sweat beginning to form on his forehead.

"Hahahaha!"

"Kid, keep acting arrogant! Weren't you so pleased with yourself just now?"

"Fly, then! Let's see whether you can fly faster or my rocks can!"

"Didn't you want to be hit? Don't worry, I'll definitely beat you to death today!"

The more stones Qin Qi threw, the smoother it became. He threw faster and faster, more and more accurately, until he no longer even wanted to hit Feng Xiaotian.

He deliberately used the stones to force Feng Xiaotian to dodge, then enjoyed the ridiculous dance that followed.

"Referee, is this right? This can't be right, can it?!"

"Referee, I want to report him!"

"Referee, save me!"

Feng Xiaotian did not dare stop at all. He felt that if Qin Qi's thrown stones hit him, he would either die or be seriously injured.

"..."

The referee looked at Feng Xiaotian, then at Qin Qi tearing apart the arena. He fell silent, then quietly turned to look up at the sky.

The sky was so blue.

The referee only wanted to get off work and go home now. As for everything else... forget it. He was tired.

"Stop screaming. I'm not breaking any rules."

"You should just keep the music playing and keep dancing. Hehehe."

Qin Qi could not help letting out a laugh that clearly belonged to a villain. In fact, every spectator present felt that Qin Qi was not a good person.

What kind of decent person tortured someone like this in a match? Though Feng Xiaotian wasn't exactly a good person either.

Still, Qin Qi was clearly a cut above him.

"Reckless Savage Demon Venerable truly deserved to be called a grandmaster of the wisdom path."

"When it came to intelligence, he was absolutely top-tier. The moment I failed to figure something out, he understood it right away."

At that moment, Qin Qi deeply understood Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's words: as long as you were strong enough, you could solve anything.

And if you couldn't solve it, that just meant you weren't strong enough!

Everyone said Reckless Savage Demon Venerable was a brainless musclehead. They all said strength path cultivators had pointy heads.

But they had no idea that intelligence was also a form of strength.

The strength path truly required too much technique, too much thinking! Sigh, the strength path had declined!

Compared to those paths that didn't require any thought at all, the strength path was simply too brutal!

As Qin Qi lamented inwardly, he came up with a theory. Back then, perhaps the wisdom path simply hadn't looked cool enough.

That was why Lord Reckless Savage hadn't become a venerable through the wisdom path. If the wisdom path had looked cool enough, what business would that iconic Constellation from Heavenly Court have had?

Lord Reckless Savage would have become a wisdom path venerable directly—a supreme grandmaster!

"Immortal killer move—Roof-Tearing!"

Qin Qi shouted as he tore apart the arena.

"Fuck your killer move!"

"You're just dismantling an arena! Why the hell are you shouting out a killer move? Is this some soul skill?"

Feng Xiaotian couldn't help loudly complaining.

"Why do you care? Die for me!"

Qin Qi grabbed a handful of stones and hurled them out in one go, their power resembling a shotgun blast.

They knocked Feng Xiaotian straight out of the sky.

"Kid, weren't you able to fly? Fly for me! If you don't fly, I'm coming over!"

Qin Qi strode toward Feng Xiaotian with a vicious grin. Upholding the principle of beating someone to death if they couldn't be beaten dead, he prepared to beat Feng Xiaotian to death.

"Y-you, don't come over!"

Feng Xiaotian wanted to run, but the stones had shattered his bones. He couldn't run anymore.

"I surrender! I surrender!"

"Principal, save me!"

Looking at Qin Qi, Feng Xiaotian couldn't shake the feeling that Qin Qi was merely using the match as an excuse to beat him up.

It was like playing SM—brother, you be the M, and I'll pretend to be the S before beating you half to death.

"Sigh."

The principal of Godwind Academy let out a sigh. He truly didn't want to bother with this idiot.

But this was still a student of his academy. Left with no choice, he stepped forward and announced Feng Xiaotian's surrender.

Then he hurriedly had someone carry Feng Xiaotian away.

"I survived!"

Lying on the medical stretcher, Feng Xiaotian suddenly felt as though he had survived a great disaster.

"Pah, that coward ran off."

"Hey, you lot! Who's next?"

Qin Qi spat in irritation. He had only just experienced the true essence of the strength path, and his opponent had already left.

He hadn't had enough yet. How could that do? He had to pick his next target to assist his cultivation!

"I'm not going."

"Don't look at me. I'm not fighting that guy."

"I don't want to get beaten up."

"I can't beat him."

"I surrender, I surrender."

As soon as someone shouted that they surrendered, the rest of Godwind Academy immediately surrendered as well. It was just a match; there was no need to risk their lives.

After Qin Qi finished fighting Godwind Academy, their matches for the day came to an end. Everyone returned to rest and discuss tactics for the next day.

While the audience discussed how ridiculous Godwind Academy and Feng Xiaotian were, the principals of the major academies began analyzing Qin Qi.

PS: This wasn't some apocryphal-history Gu nonsense; it was official history. Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's attainment in the wisdom path was only one realm below Constellation's.
