Yun Che quietly left the classroom. He was destined to leave today's lesson early.
He had never expected his explanations of the key points in those perfect-grade cultivation techniques and combat techniques to help the students so much.
This works out nicely. Hopefully, I'll receive more reputation points next. You'd better spread the word about your instructor!
Afterward, Yun Che wandered into the principal's office. Ostensibly, he was there to greet King Qin, but his real purpose was to seize the opportunity to use Divine Hand.
His luck was good this time. He siphoned a full 500 experience points from King Qin.
If he had killed King Qin, the Experience Points reward would naturally have been much higher. But that was how Divine Hand worked—the amount it extracted was far too random.

Hmm, just over ten thousand more experience points, and I can break through to the middle Innate Realm.
Looks like I'll have to make time for a trip to the Poison Miasma Snake Forest soon. Some of the demonic beasts there are well worth killing.
An hour after Yun Che left Class Nine's classroom, deafening cheers rang through the entire teaching building.
They had broken through!
All three students who had been stuck at bottlenecks, unable to advance an inch, had broken through.
Even more astonishingly, one of them had reached the Innate Realm.
"Where's Instructor Yun? I want to thank him in person!"
"Exactly! I need to thank Instructor Yun properly too. He's given me a future."
Yang Guo pushed through the crowd and looked toward the lectern, but Yun Che was nowhere to be seen.
Everyone marveled at how truly selfless Instructor Yun was. He did not care about such hollow acclaim at all.
Still, even if Instructor Yun did not care, they were determined to spread word of his reputation and teaching ability, so more people would know just how remarkable he was.
Falling Moon Academy was vast, but with all the students talking, news that two peak Body Tempering Realm students and one peak Acquired Realm student had broken through spread throughout the academy in less than half an hour.
Everyone who heard the staggering news froze in shock.
Once might have been a coincidence, but twice was another matter. And this time, three students had broken through together. How could anyone not be stunned?
In Class Five, Yun Jin had already gone numb. His eyes were filled with disbelief as praise for Yun Che kept pouring into his ears.
"Yun Jin, no wonder your younger brother chose to become an academic instructor. He's such an outstanding teacher!"
"Yun Jin, your younger brother is incredible. Let's go sit in on his next class together!"
"Yun Jin, I'm so jealous that you have a younger brother like him. You study martial arts, and he studies literature. With one scholar and one warrior, your Yun Family is set to prosper!"
"Yun Jin, you're his older brother. Be honest-has he given you any private lessons? We're deskmates, so you can't keep all the good stuff to yourself."
Suddenly, Yun Jin erupted. The emotions left by his failed breakthrough burst out uncontrollably.
"Shut up!"
"Don't compare me to him!"
"I'm a martial arts prodigy! He's nothing but a useless scholar who can't even break through to the middle Body Tempering Realm!"
"I'm the Yun Family's eldest son! Why would our family need to ride on the coattails of a mere live-in son-in-law to rise?"
The moment those words left his mouth, Yun Jin regretted them. The refined gentleman's image he had worked so hard to maintain had surely crumbled.
He lowered his head and silently left the classroom, laying all his hatred at Yun Che's feet.
The students of Class Five recovered from their shock, scarcely able to believe Yun Jin had said such things.
Someone sneered, "I see it now. This older brother of his has quite a jealous streak!"
Another said disdainfully, "Exactly. He's already nineteen, and he's only in the early Acquired Realm. What does he have to be so proud of?"
In the dean's office, King Qin, who was temporarily serving as dean, also heard that Yun Che had helped three students break through on the spot. He was just as astonished.
He instructed Qin Lang, who was acting as his assistant, "Where's Yun Che? Have him come to my office."
Qin Lang replied, "He seems to have already left the academy. I don't know what he went to do."
King Qin nodded. "Never mind, then. Go tell your uncles to come to the academy tonight to discuss matters."
"Yes. I'll go right away."
Outside the academy, Yun Che was heading toward the Full River Tower, planning to lie in wait for his prey.
Just then, an ordinary-looking young man blocked his path.
Yun Che glanced at him. The face was unfamiliar; he did not know him. "Can I help you?"
The newcomer was Wang Hao, a son of the Wang Family born to a concubine-the pig-faced masked man from that night.
He had spotted this worthless wretch, whom he desperately wanted dead, from a distance. He hurried after him and blocked his path.
Wang Hao smiled. "What a coincidence. I thought you wouldn't dare leave the academy! I just don't understand. You're only an academic instructor, so why are you so lucky, so hard to kill? Let's see who can save you this time!"
As he spoke, Wang Hao formed a Qi Sword at his fingertip and thrust it toward Yun Che's dantian. He seemed intent on destroying Yun Che's Spirit Power vortex first, turning him into a genuine cripple.
Yun Che's gaze remained calm. He casually caught Wang Hao's wrist and twisted hard. With a crack, Wang Hao's wrist snapped.
Before Wang Hao could scream, Yun Che seized his broken hand, swung him around like a windmill, and slammed him into the ground.
Then he delivered a vicious kick to Wang Hao's dantian. After a dull thud, Wang Hao's Spirit Power vortex shattered, and his Spirit Power rapidly drained away.
Yun Che crouched in front of the stunned Wang Hao and feigned confusion. "Sorry, I still can't remember who you are! My time is precious. I don't bother remembering every nobody."
With that, Yun Che casually used Divine Hand on him, then turned and left.
He had not spared Wang Hao. That kick had done more than destroy his Spirit Power vortex—it had ruptured his internal organs as well. In a few more breaths at most, this Wang Family scion who had kept himself hidden for years would bleed from all seven orifices and pass from this world.
The people nearby pointed and whispered. Some recognized Wang Hao as a member of the Wang Family. Horror filled their eyes, and they hurried far away, afraid of getting caught up in the trouble. They did not even dare report what had happened.
Wang Hao seemed unable to feel the agonizing pain in his body. His mind had ground to a halt. Everything had happened too quickly, too unbelievably, too impossibly for him to accept. He even wondered whether he was dreaming.
He, Wang Hao, had endured in silence for years. After his fierce battle with Qin Yelan that night, he had even been lucky enough to break through to the Innate Realm, becoming one of the outstanding talents of the younger generation.
He was only twenty-five. He still had so much to do. How could he inexplicably die at the hands of an academic instructor?
Only when Wang Hao sensed something wrong inside his body did his thoughts gradually return to normal.
How could he fail to understand now? Yun Che was no ordinary academic instructor. He was an Innate Realm expert more talented than Wang Hao himself, and even more terrifying than Qin Keyi.
Splat!
Wang Hao's eyes turned blood-red. His face filled with regret and resentment as blood began flowing from all seven orifices.
Why? Why did I have to provoke him? There wasn't even any grudge between us!
"Yun Che! You despicable bastard! You'll die a horrible death!"
After cursing him, Wang Hao lay in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open in death, and breathed no more.
Ding! Early Innate Realm expert killed. Experience +170, righteousness +10, death qi +10.
