Chen Lie stared at the scene before him in shock. Everything around him had become a frozen painting. Dust stirred up by the wind hung suspended in his vision, and even the breath he had yet to release from his chest was stuck in his throat.
Only his consciousness trembled within his deathly still body, terror exploding deep within his soul.
He had never imagined the Temporal Distortion Field was real. He had always thought his boss was bullshitting-after all, his boss did that all the time.
In this absolutely frozen time, only the figure on the platform transcended time's restraints.
Bai Ye stepped down from the platform, nearly invisible ripples of time spreading around him. They brushed over everything frozen in place without disturbing a thing.
He approached Du Jingzhe, raised his hand, and threw a crushing punch!
Bam!
The powerful fist landed in Du Jingzhe's abdomen, instantly caving it in. His body doubled over like a shrimp, both feet lifting off the ground.
But instead of flying backward, he hung eerily suspended half a meter above the ground.
"Refusing to learn, are you?" A savage grin curled Bai Ye's lips. "A teacher who fails to discipline his students is shirking his duty. Let your master give you another proper lesson today."
Bam, bam, bam...
His fists rained down, pounding Du Jingzhe all over. Like putty being hammered, his body kept twisting and deforming in midair until... he was utterly unrecognizable.
A large hand seized Du Jingzhe by the hair and dragged him like a dead dog to the stone tablet bearing the Blood Qi Martial Arts inheritance.
Bai Ye's savage laughter rang out right beside his ear. "You're learning today, whether you like it or not!"
[Historical Reflection] did not want Du Jingzhe to learn the Blood Qi
