The battle erupted. As the five King Realm powerhouses clashed fiercely, the remaining Grandmaster Realm experts led their men in the assault on the city.
"Kill!"
The four mighty Grandmaster Realm generals under King Qin-Song Zhongji, He Qiang, Wu Erlang, and Sikong Zhen-led the city guards in the first charge.
Behind them came the Innate Realm instructors from Falling Moon Academy and all the other Innate Realm experts in Falling Moon City.
This was nothing like the previous attacks. This time, the four great bandit groups had brought nearly fifty thousand bandits to storm the city.
Every martial artist in Falling Moon City at the Acquired Realm or above had to step forward and do their part.
"Kill! Kill these sons of bitches!"
Yang Guo, a student who had just broken through to the Innate Realm, charged at the very front of the students.
Just as Qin Xiao had expected, Qin Yelan also charged at the head of the group despite only being in the late Acquired Realm. Her sword swept ceaselessly, its light like silken threads. Severed limbs flew, and crimson blood splashed everywhere.
"Ah! I'm late!"
"Don't kill them! Let me!"
Yun Che had only just reached the city gates. Seeing the bandit corpses littering the ground made his heart ache.
Without a second thought, he drew the Radiant Annihilation Sword and plunged straight into the battle.
He used Divine Hand with his left hand while his right carved streak after streak of sword light.
Of course, with so many eyes on him, he dared not draw too much attention. He displayed only peak Body Tempering Realm strength and used only low-grade combat techniques.
As the saying went, always keep something up your sleeve, and catching people off guard would be a breeze.
Even so, Yun Che's sword was so fast that his opponents could barely defend against it, leaving countless people around him amazed.
"Holy shit! He's just an academic instructor, but he kills people so damn smoothly!"
A Body Tempering Realm bandit-one slash to the throat!
An Acquired Realm bandit-one slash to the throat!
A peak Acquired Realm bandit-one slash to the throat!
Even an Innate Realm bandit-one slash to the throat!
The martial artists fighting for Falling Moon City were utterly bewildered by Yun Che's performance.
Was he really killing bandits? Why did it look easier than slaughtering chickens and dogs?
More importantly, was he sure he was just an academic instructor at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm?
Everyone watched in stunned disbelief. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
Yun Che paid no mind to what anyone thought. He was utterly engrossed in the joy of stealing and killing.
"Ding! Steal successful. Congratulations, you gained 40 experience points." "Ding! Bandit killed. Experience +125, righteousness +10, death qi +10." "Ding! Steal successful. Congratulations, you obtained a Middle-Grade combat technique..." "Ding! Bandit killed..."
Naturally, some people who knew Yun Che noticed his dazzling performance, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Yun Jin in particular, who was fighting while skulking about, nearly had his eyes pop out of his head. His sword hand trembled with rage, and his eyes were so red that he looked more frightening than the bandits.
Why was he so furious? Because our dear Brother Yun had once again concocted an explanation all on his own.
Little brother! He actually has such terrifying strength. He really has been deceiving me!
I get it! Dual Cultivation Method! Qin Keyi must have been nourishing him in return. Otherwise, with his martial root, he couldn't possibly cultivate this quickly!
It had to be said that Brother Yun's imagination was impressive. Though that was not quite what had happened, his guess was not far off.
A gleam flashed in Qin Yelan's beautiful eyes. She fought her way toward Yun Che, her thoughts racing as she killed bandits.
Is it because of my sister?
No, that can't be the whole reason. The combat techniques he uses are only low-grade, but he's mastered every one to perfection.
Of course. If he can bring people into an Enlightenment State just by lecturing, how could his own strength be weak? I should have realized sooner.
Qin Lang had been watching Qin Yelan's movements all along, so he naturally noticed Yun Che as well. His eyes narrowed, and he instinctively felt that this man could not be allowed to live.
Yun Che also noticed Qin Yelan beside him and frowned slightly. Her sword was fast, too, and she killed enemies almost as quickly as he did. But this was not what he wanted!
You're a native! You don't even need experience to level up. What are you joining in for?
Worse still, Qin Yelan seemed determined to compete with him. Wherever he fought, she followed. Whenever she happened to snatch a straggler beside him, she would cast him a smug glance.
Yun Che's face darkened with anger. Fortunately, a savior arrived at the crucial moment.
A mid-Innate Realm bandit singled out Qin Yelan and charged at her.
Yun Che gave them a quick glance. With Qin Yelan's strength, a second-rate Innate Realm fighter could hardly kill her in an instant.
Besides, that little undercover agent behind them was already rushing over with a grim expression. Yun Che would let him have this chance to play the hero and save the beauty.
As for Yun Che himself, he swiftly put some distance between himself and Qin Yelan, fighting his way toward an area with more Innate Realm bandits.
Half an hour later, the notification Yun Che had long awaited finally sounded.
"Ding! Congratulations on your realm breakthrough. Current realm: late Innate Realm." "Ding! Congratulations, your Titan Enforcer class has reached level 3. Strength +100, Stamina +100, constitution +100."
After leveling up, Yun Che's five main attributes increased considerably again. His base attack and defense alone had both passed the thousand-point mark.

Still not enough. Keep going. I don't expect to break through to the Grandmaster Realm, but reaching the peak of the Innate Realm is still very possible.
Yun Che swallowed two Spirit-Recovery Pills. Although his Spirit Power reserves were now substantial, they could not withstand such relentless expenditure. Divine Hand, in particular, consumed an enormous amount.
Fortunately, he was only using low-grade combat techniques, and often did not use any at all. Otherwise, his consumption would have doubled.
