Ji Wushuang arrived almost the instant Xue He was nailed to the ground.

She lifted her foot and stomped.

Pfft!

Xue He's head exploded beneath her foot.

His Nascent Soul had just escaped when she grabbed it in one hand. With a bang, she crushed it outright.

The bloody scene sent the spectators into endless screams.

"The Young Marshal is mighty!"

On the main platform, the purple-robed elder glanced at King Yan and said coldly, "Trying to make a name for yourself with one brilliant feat? Heh heh..."

"Still better than hiding someone who steals another's bloodline and has no bottom line. Be careful you don't suffer backlash one day!"

A faint smile played on King Yan's lips.

One good thing after another—what a rush!

Next was Fang Jiuding against Guan Yue.

She was a woman, a Nascent Soul Early Stage expert from Ruyi Xuan.

For Fang Jiuding, who was only at the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm, it seemed somewhat difficult.

Holding a Jade Flute, Guan Yue smiled lightly. "Fellow Daoist, your weapon is rather unique."

Fang Jiuding grinned and tapped the bottom of his pot. "It can be used as a weapon, cook meals, and even sleep in. Little sister, if you like it, big brother can take you inside to stay for a couple of days?"

Guan Yue's face darkened as she snapped, "You've got the face of someone begging to be beaten. Die!"

The Jade Flute spun, firing wave after wave of terrifying soundwaves.

"Your grandpa!" Fang Jiuding shrieked strangely, swinging his pot in savage strikes. The runes on its bottom stabbed at the eyes.

The resounding clangs of heavy impacts echoed throughout the venue.

The corners of many people's mouths twitched.

Using a cooking pot as a weapon—this truly opened their eyes.

The instant Guan Yue's attacks faltered, Fang Jiuding suddenly flung out a chain.

A piercing sonic boom replaced the soundwaves and rang across the entire arena.

The chain circled around and around, coiling more and more densely until it formed a terrifying vortex.

The vortex grew longer and longer, eventually becoming a dreadful spear.

"Get back!"

Boom!

The spear suddenly shot forward.

Guan Yue's expression changed drastically.

The Jade Flute spun into a net. With one collision, the net shattered, and she was sent flying back while coughing blood.

She slammed into the array barrier and slowly slid down.

Just as she was about to rise, clang!

Her vision went black as the bottom of the pot smashed viciously into her face.

Guan Yue's eyes rolled back, and she fainted dead away.

"Holy shit..."

Lu Chen covered his face.

"Heh heh, I'll take her back to be my wife!" Fang Jiuding gave a lecherous grin. With a sweep of the pot's mouth, Guan Yue vanished from where she stood.

"Outrageous!" An elder of Ruyi Xuan flew into a rage.

"Please calm down, Senior. She's been caught in my Spirit Binding Array, and I need to personally undo it. But it consumes too much energy and takes a long time, so I could only protect her first. Rest assured, I'll treat her well!"

"Mmm-mmm..." The Ruyi Xuan elder trembled from head to toe with rage. "I said release her!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Senior, you won't listen when I speak nicely? Believe it or not, I'll take her out and smash her head in?"

"You..." The Ruyi Xuan elder's face turned green at once.

"Don't worry. This old man will vouch for my boy, heh heh!" Old Ancestor Tianyan laughed.

Among the few beauties present with particularly outstanding talent, his disciple had snagged one.

The brat had good taste.

Next came Lu Ran's battle.

His opponent was the rogue cultivator Chu Feiyang, a peak Golden Core sword cultivator.

Before Chu Feiyang's sword light could arrive, demonic mist suddenly rose around Lu Ran. A sharp claw extended from the fog and clutched the sword's edge.

With a squeeze, bang!

The sword blade exploded. Chu Feiyang looked as though a thousand needles had pierced him, blood streaming from his seven orifices as he collapsed limply to the ground.

With a single strike, Chu Feiyang was defeated.

Lu Ran looked toward Lu Chen, a cold smile curling his lips.

Lu Chen directly gave him the middle finger, then leaped onto the arena.

His opponent was Miao Yuan of Tianyu Academy, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage expert.

This was Tianyu Academy's true killing move against him.

Bronze chains coiled around Miao Yuan's arms, their links engraved with inscriptions meant to suppress ancient demons. His Nascent Soul Middle Stage aura surged again and again, while a three-headed, six-armed Demon Subduing Dharma Image condensed behind him.

Lu Chen's eyes narrowed.

He had actually used chains and inscriptions to create a bloodline Dharma Image of a Martial Dao Cultivator.

It was equivalent to cultivating both immortality and martial dao.

These chains were no simple thing. Their combination was truly eye-opening.

"A furnace supreme treasure!" Miao Yuan caught sight of the phantom above Lu Chen's head, drew a deep breath, and sneered. "A piece of trash whose bloodline was stripped away is worthy of using such a treasure?"

The chains suddenly stretched taut like spears, stabbing toward Lu Chen's vital points.

Lu Chen used Wind and Thunder Steps to evade, while his three clones, each wielding a bone blade, charged into the Dharma Image.

Miao Yuan formed a hand seal and sneered. The chains suddenly split into countless strands, binding the clones and the original body alike into cocoons.

The Demon Subduing Dharma Image clasped its six hands together, condensing a Buddhist swastika seal that pressed down upon the furnace. "I'll refine all you evil artifacts!"

"Evil artifacts?" Lu Chen laughed in fury as True Martial Armor burst forth with dazzling white light.

The Myriad Manifestations Furnace suddenly appeared, intending to suck in both the Buddhist seal and the chains.

Miao Yuan's expression changed abruptly. Even his Dharma Image was dragged forward, staggering.

Lu Chen's true body seized the chance to surge forward. His Earth Shattering Collapse Fist, wrapped in boundless martial aura, smashed into Miao Yuan's chest.

Boom!

Miao Yuan spat out fragments of his internal organs and slammed into the array barrier like a cannonball.

He roared viciously and summoned his natal Nascent Soul, intending to self-destruct,

only for it to be covered by the Devouring Furnace, which flashed past in an instant.

As the furnace turned, the Nascent Soul's miserable cries were swallowed directly inside.

"Bastard!" The purple-robed elder shot to his feet with an enraged roar.

"So what?" Old Ancestor Tianyan's cold snort suddenly rang out. "Sending a Nascent Soul Cultivator out was embarrassing enough. You want to go up and try too?"

The purple-robed elder's face flushed crimson as he roared, "Lu Chen is vicious and cruel, utterly insane. A cultivator like him will only become a calamity for Great Yan."

"Go fuck yourself!" Old Ancestor Tianyan was nearly angered into laughter.

Quite a few people below the stage also burst out laughing.

If they were talking about ruthlessness, who could compare to Tianyu Academy?

"Want to come up and trade blows?" Lu Chen gripped the mouth of the Asura Furnace and provoked him.

"Let's see whether I can smash you to death with one pot, just like my second brother!"

Pfft!

Many people sprayed out blood.

Fang Jiuding burst into laughter. "Third brother, you haven't grasped the essence yet. How can you smash someone to death? Gah gah gah..."

"Damn it!" The purple-robed old ancestor's eyes reddened with fury.

"Alas!" Lu Chen let out a long sigh. "A perfectly fine academy, a place meant to educate people—how did it become such a smoky, foul mess? Do you think this is how it should be?"

Lu Chen looked toward the Heavenly Dao Academy's envoy.

The old man's eyelid twitched, and his expression darkened slightly. "You won, yet you still won't leave the stage?"

"Then tell us, Senior. Everyone would be willing to hear your opinion, right?"

"Right!"

The entire venue answered in unison.

The old man nearly exploded with rage, yet he still suppressed his towering fury and said,

"How does Tianyu Academy educate people? Go back and reflect on it properly! Continue!"

After saying that, he waved a hand and closed his eyes.

His chest rose and fell violently; he was furious beyond measure.

He knew all too well how much weight those words carried.

It was equivalent to slapping Tianyu Academy across the face before the whole world. It also reminded everyone that academies were places to cultivate people, not places to meddle in worldly disputes.

"Yes, yes, yes, go back and reflect properly. I suggest stripping him of his position first. Lu Ran repays kindness with enmity, is cold-hearted by nature and ruthless in action, stole another's bloodline, and yet the academy not only didn't punish him, it even accepted him as a closed-door disciple. You were deceived... no!"

Lu Chen suddenly realized something. Looking suspiciously at the purple-robed elder, he asked, "You clearly knew he stole my bloodline and had a record stained with evil deeds. Why did you still take him in?"

"And to make sure he could go further in the martial competition, fearing I might threaten him, you repeatedly had disciples self-destruct to kill me. You people..."

"Shut up!" The purple-robed elder was trembling.

"Don't be like that. I'm the victim. Surely you won't even deprive me of the right to speak, will you, Senior?"

Lu Chen tossed the ball back to the Heavenly Dao Academy envoy.

"Get down here!" The Heavenly Dao Academy envoy was disgusted to the extreme.

"Oh..." Lu Chen suddenly let out a deeply suggestive cry, twisting and turning through seven bends and eight loops, enough to send imaginations running wild.

"Hahaha..." King Yan threw back his head and laughed. To the Heavenly Dao Academy envoy and the purple-robed elder, it was unbearably grating.

"Alright, alright, boy Lu, hurry down. Others still need to compete. Don't affect the bigger picture!"

"Hey, hey, hey, look at that. When you speak nicely, you feel good and I feel good. Why must every one of you bristle like porcupines? What's the point?"

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

Many people couldn't take it anymore and sprayed everything out.
