"Bad news, bad news! There's a fight over at Class Nine!"
Zhang Xueqian was practicing martial techniques in the training room when her friend Xu Jin suddenly ran over, shouting anxiously.
"A fight? What do you mean?"
Zhang Xueqian stopped, looking puzzled.
So what if there was a fight? What did it have to do with her?
"Wei Yi! Wei Yi got into a fight with someone."
Xu Jin explained between gasps.
Zhang Xueqian froze. Hearing that familiar name, her previously indifferent expression immediately became somewhat unnatural.
Especially when she thought of how her younger sister had come to tell her about Wei Yi's recent circumstances yesterday, her feelings became incredibly complicated.
"He got into a fight with Sun Wenzong, didn't he?"
"Those two already had plenty of grudges between them. Sun Wenzong is narrow-minded and has repeatedly made trouble for him. Now that he has strength, he would definitely come to settle the score."
It had to be said that Zhang Xueqian was quite clever and understood Wei Yi very well. Her guess was almost exactly right.
Yet Xu Jin shook her head.
"Wei Yi did originally come to make trouble for Sun Wenzong. He even broke both of Sun Wenzong's legs and didn't spare any of his lackeys either. But then Instructor Wu from Class Nine arrived and blocked Wei Yi in the martial practice room. The two of them seem to have gotten into a conflict too."
"You mean Instructor Wu Qiyun from Class Nine?"
Zhang Xueqing looked utterly astonished.
"Instructor Wu is a Tenth-Stage Martial Master. They say he's about to break through to the Great Martial Master realm. Would he really bully someone younger like Wei Yi? Is Wei Yi a match for him?"
"I don't know either. I ran straight here when I saw what was happening. How about we go back and take a look?" Xu Jin suggested.
Zhang Xueqian hesitated.
She was curious, but she also did not want to see Wei Yi again.
In the end, however, she gritted her teeth and nodded. "All right, let's go take a look together."
The two then ran toward the martial practice room together.
"Instructor Wu, are you determined to stop me today?"
"What's between Sun Wenzong and me is just a personal grudge. Besides, I haven't done all that much to him. I haven't broken any academy rules, have I?"
Outside the martial practice room, Wei Yi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Wu Qiyun, Class Nine's instructor, standing in his way.
"You call this not doing all that much to him? With injuries like these, he'll need to recuperate in bed for at least a month. Do you think I'm blind?"
"Wei Yi, I'm not Qian Tonghe. You dared to beat my students in my classroom, and you must pay the price. If I let you walk away just like that today, where would that leave my dignity?"
Looking at Sun Wenzong and the others wailing on the ground nearby, Wu Qiyun's expression was exceedingly grim.
"So, Instructor Wu, you're determined to bully someone younger?"
A cold smile appeared on Wei Yi's face.
"Bully someone younger? I'm kindly instructing you, lest you become too arrogant and conceited and stray down a crooked path in the future!"
"I advise you to obey my orders and accept your punishment. Go kneel on the martial practice platform for an hour, and I can act as though none of this happened. Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
A cold, piercing gleam flashed through Wu Qiyun's narrow eyes.
He was not merely shielding his own. He also could not stand Wei Yi's arrogance. A mere student actually dared to challenge an instructor's authority. If he did not ruthlessly crush this tendency, how would he discipline the other students in the future?
Wei Yi said nothing.
He simply claimed the reward for the [Avenge Every Grievance] quest he had just completed. He used all 5,000 cultivation experience and 5,000 skill experience without holding anything back.
His cultivation advanced another step, reaching the Third-Tier Martial Master level.
His Mortal Grade, Supreme Rank Blackwater Movement Technique was also raised to LV6.
"Since Instructor Wu wants to instruct me personally, let me experience your superior moves!"
A mocking smile curled across Wei Yi's lips.
At those words, Wu Qiyun's expression immediately darkened.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
"Today, I'll teach you just how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is!"
Wu Qiyun bellowed angrily. Without any further hesitation, he thrust out his right hand, instantly clawing viciously toward Wei Yi.
As a third-year instructor, he was far stronger than Qian Tonghe.
His outstretched hand was not only as fast as lightning but also carried immensely powerful Qi force, giving the impression that it could not be resisted.
Wei Yi's gaze flickered. Not daring to hold anything back, he immediately circulated the Purple Cloud Manual at full strength. The internal Qi in his dantian surged rapidly as he swung his saber to counterattack.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged five or six moves.
Fists and palms clashed, and Wei Yi retreated four or five steps in succession.
Although he had just advanced to the Third-Tier Martial Master realm, there was clearly still a considerable gap between him and a Tenth-Stage Martial Master like Wu Qiyun.
"A third-year instructor does have some skill, after all."
Wei Yi looked at Wu Qiyun without the slightest fear. As he spoke, he immediately activated the power of his bloodline. This was his true trump card.
The instant his bloodline power activated, Wei Yi's entire presence changed. Faint light flickered, a mysterious power emerged, and his robes billowed. Patterns could vaguely be seen as an ancient presence enveloped his entire body, and his cultivation strength began climbing wildly.
At this sight, Wu Qiyun's expression involuntarily changed.
"Bloodline power. He really has awakened his bloodline power."
"I have to end this quickly!"
An experienced veteran, Wu Qiyun launched a ferocious offensive without the slightest hesitation.
He brought his entire Tenth-Stage Martial Master cultivation into play and unleashed his martial technique. His hands became two streaks of light, striking at Wei Yi's vital points in the blink of an eye.
"Haha, come again!"
A sharp gleam flashed in Wei Yi's eyes. With a wild laugh, he met the attack head-on instead, unleashing his max-level Azure Ape Fist Art. His fists clashed with Wu Qiyun's palms once again as their martial techniques collided, but this time, it was Wu Qiyun who was driven back three steps.
His face was filled with horror!
The onlookers nearby were also utterly shocked.
"Instructor Wu, would you like to continue?"
Wei Yi asked again.
Wu Qiyun's expression was as ugly as it could possibly be.
His expression kept shifting. He knew that he probably could not stop Wei Yi today. Wei Yi's strength had far exceeded his expectations.
If Wei Yi had not awakened his bloodline power, he could have secured a steady victory. But now that Wei Yi had awakened it, he was the one at a disadvantage. If they kept fighting, he might truly lose to Wei Yi.
"Wei Yi, I will report everything you've done today to the academy exactly as it happened."
"When the time comes, the academy will definitely punish you."
Wu Qiyun spoke coldly, his expression grim.
His words undoubtedly indicated that he would no longer stop Wei Yi. In truth, he had no way to stop him.
Not only did Wei Yi understand immediately, but the students watching nearby also understood at once.
For a moment, countless people could not help gaping. None of them had expected Instructor Wu, who was always protective of his own and proud by nature, to voluntarily admit defeat.
"I haven't broken any academy rules. I believe the academy will handle this fairly."
Wei Yi paid no heed to Wu Qiyun's verbal threats.
Turning to glance at Sun Wenzong, he curled his lips into a cold smile.
Then he walked around Wu Qiyun and headed straight ahead.
Sun Wenzong and the others, who had been hoping their instructor would avenge them, now wore expressions of dejection and disappointment. They could only watch helplessly as Wei Yi swaggered away.
