"Sun Wenyuan, it's you?"
As he looked at the three of them, Wei Yi's gaze could not help turning cold.
He had long suspected that someone was directing Lu Dawu from behind the scenes, but he had never expected that person to be Sun Wenyuan.
Actually, the person who truly had a grudge against him was not Sun Wenyuan, but Sun Wenyuan's elder brother, Sun Wenzong. They had both pursued Zhao Xueqian back then, but Wei Yi had proven a cut above him and gained the upper hand. With the deep-seated conflict between the Wei Clan and the Sun Clan on top of that, their relationship was undoubtedly like fire and water.
Of course, as Sun Wenzong's younger brother, Sun Wenyuan could hardly have been on good terms with him either, especially since they had been placed in the same year. Ever since Wei Yi had been diagnosed with severed meridians and found unable to cultivate, this fellow had frequently used all sorts of excuses to pick fights and humiliate him. Eventually, Wei Yi could not even be bothered to attend classes anymore. He had never expected Sun Wenyuan to come after him at his dormitory now, too.
"Sun Wenyuan, you really do haunt me like a ghost that won't leave."
Wei Yi spoke coldly.
Although these things had all happened to the previous "Wei Yi," he had now merged with his predecessor's memories, so it was no different from experiencing them himself.
"You'll be expelled from the academy in less than half a month. If I don't spend some quality time with you now, when will I get another chance?"
Sun Wenyuan came up to Wei Yi with his two lackeys and spoke with a face full of mockery.
"Let me think for you. What will become of you after you're expelled in half a month?"
"You won't be able to stay at the academy, and the Wei Clan probably won't have a place for you either. Trash like you will probably either kill yourself and be done with it, or find some deserted place to grow old alone... pitiful, truly pitiful. I just wonder which you'll choose."
"We were classmates, after all. If you really have nowhere to go, why not come to me? I still need a slave to run errands. What do you think? Aren't I good to you? Hahaha..."
As he spoke, Sun Wenyuan burst into unbridled laughter.
The two lackeys behind him laughed along.
But Wei Yi merely watched them with a cold smile, making no attempt to conceal the contempt and disdain in his eyes.
At the sight of Wei Yi's expression, Sun Wenyuan's face could not help darkening. Having failed to get to Wei Yi, he could no longer keep laughing.
"Wei Yi, do you know why I came here today?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you. I came specifically to make trouble for you. If you don't want a beating, kneel and beg me right now. If I'm in a good mood, I'll naturally let you off. Otherwise..."
"Not only will you suffer today, but I'll come make trouble for you every single day for a while!"
Sun Wenyuan fixed Wei Yi with an icy stare and sneered, his voice full of menace.
"Kneel and beg you?"
"In a moment, you'll find out who's really going to kneel."
Wei Yi gave a cold laugh.
As he spoke, he took out the Martial Skill Experience Pill he had obtained from the beginner gift pack and swallowed it without hesitation.
"Ding! Player Wei Yi has consumed a Skill Experience Pill. Martial skill experience +10000." "Ding! Player Wei Yi's Azure Ape Fist Art LV1 experience is full. Automatically advanced to LV2." "Ding! Player Wei Yi's Azure Ape Fist Art LV2 experience is full. Automatically advanced to LV3." "Ding! Player Wei Yi's Azure Ape Fist Art LV3 experience is full. Automatically advanced to LV4." ... "Ding! Player Wei Yi's Azure Ape Fist Art LV9 experience is full. Automatically advanced to LV10."
Originally, Wei Yi had not planned to use the Martial Skill Experience Pill on the Azure Ape Fist Art. After all, it was only a low-grade mortal-tier martial skill. But now he had no choice. Someone had come bullying him at his door. Was he supposed to bow his head and admit defeat?
That was, of course, impossible.
It was only one Martial Skill Experience Pill. Wei Yi was perfectly willing to spend it. He instantly gained 10000 martial skill experience, and the Azure Ape Fist Art immediately soared to its maximum level.
LV10 Azure Ape Fist Art.
Maximum level meant the great perfection realm!
As memories poured endlessly into his mind, Wei Yi's mastery of the Azure Ape Fist Art instantly reached an astonishing level.
"Beat him up!"
At that moment, however, Sun Wenyuan knew nothing of Wei Yi's transformation. Hearing Wei Yi's words, he was instantly filled with fury and immediately shouted at his two followers.
The two exchanged a glance, then strode toward Wei Yi with savage grins.
Neither felt the slightest pressure about beating up a piece of trash who could not cultivate.
"You're courting death!"
Although Wei Yi was currently only a second-stage Martial Apprentice, raising the Azure Ape Fist Art to maximum level had sent his combat strength soaring. Why would he fear two small fry? He immediately stepped forward to meet them.
Shifting his feet and turning his body sideways, he instantly dodged the leading man's lunge. At the same time, he threw a punch at blinding speed, striking the man's temple directly. A one-punch knockout-the man fell to the ground in the blink of an eye and did not get up.
Panic appeared in the other man's eyes, but it was already too late. Wei Yi darted in front of him and drove a vicious punch straight into his chest. With a scream, he fell as well.
One punch for each.
Neither of them was any match for Wei Yi.
"How is that possible?"
"Black Wind Palm! Get down!"
Sun Wenyuan roared and leaped into the air. He was clearly far stronger than the other two. As he circulated his cultivation technique, surging power churned wildly, and he unleashed his best martial skill the moment he attacked.
For a moment, the wind howled, and the faces of the onlookers could not help changing at the sight.
A vicious gust swept toward him.
Yet Wei Yi neither feared it nor retreated. Instead, he shouted, "Well met!" and swung his fist to meet it, striking back directly with his iron fist.
Fist met palm.
One was a widely known piece of trash who could not cultivate.
The other was a genuine fifth-stage Martial Apprentice.
Yet the outcome of their clash was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
Wei Yi stood rooted to the spot without budging, while Sun Wenyuan was blasted straight backward by that punch. He flew seven or eight meters and slammed into a wooden rack behind him. The rack instantly shattered, and the collision left Sun Wenyuan dizzy and seeing stars, unable to get up for a long time.
This was the power of a max-level LV10 martial skill!
"Hiss..."
At the sight, everyone present could not help sucking in a breath of cold air.
"Ding! Player Wei Yi has defeated True Martial Academy student Zhang Wenwu. Cultivation experience +23." "Ding! Player Wei Yi has defeated True Martial Academy student Li Siwei. Cultivation experience +24." "Ding! Player Wei Yi has defeated True Martial Academy student Sun Wenyuan. Cultivation experience +35."
At the same time, a string of system notifications rang out in Wei Yi's mind.
"A bunch of weak chickens."
Wei Yi dusted off his hands, his expression full of disdain.
Hearing this, Sun Wenyuan, who was struggling to get up, spat out another mouthful of blood in anger and collapsed again.
"Wei Yi, don't get too arrogant! Even if you beat me by swallowing some strange pill just now, you're still trash who can't cultivate."
"And my elder brother definitely won't let you off!"
Sun Wenyuan clamored angrily.
Wei Yi could not be bothered to waste words on him. He simply kicked him, aiming at a certain vital part. The kick instantly made Sun Wenyuan suck in a breath of cold air, leaving him unable to utter a word.
"Go back and tell your elder brother that I, Wei Yi, will soon repay all the humiliation he's given me over this past year and more-double!"
"Tell him to wash himself nice and clean and wait for me!"
Wei Yi snorted coldly, then dusted off his hands and walked away without another thought.
