Chapter 77: Have You Thought It Through?

"Why must you do this? Killing a fellow disciple is punishable by death according to the academy rules!"

Feng Ruoqing revealed herself, blocking Ye Yuan's path, and let out a faint sigh.

Ye Yuan's face showed no sign of emotion; he simply asked in return, "If Feng Zhirou were reduced to this state, what would you do?"

"..." Feng Ruoqing had no reply; the answer was obvious.

"Those people were executed because they weren't talented enough. If they had sufficient potential and strength, I think the academy wouldn't kill them but would instead focus on nurturing them, right?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.

Ye Yuan's words were arrogant enough, but he spoke them as if they were only natural!

Whether in his past life or this one, Ye Yuan was a peerless genius who could look down upon the world!

In the Divine Realm, where geniuses were as numerous as oxen hairs, he was hailed as the one most likely to break through to the realm of the Medicine God—his genius was evident.

Now reborn, how could a small Qin State be worthy of his attention?

Feng Ruoqing was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, as you say. In fact, there have been people who were not only not killed but were also given special training by the academy. Five years ago, the academy produced an exceptionally brilliant figure who killed a fellow student because his brother was bullied. The academy not only did not punish him but instead vigorously cultivated him."

"Heh, just as I thought! So what are you worried about? Are you saying I'm not as good as him?"

Feng Ruoqing shook her head and said slowly, "Because you killed more than one person!"

"A bunch of trash, killing them is no big deal." Ye Yuan was unconcerned.

If anyone dared to touch the people he cherished most, they should be prepared to die. A mere Lin Tiancheng, killed is killed—so what?

"But I've heard of Lin Tiancheng too. He's at the half-step Liquid Essence realm. Although you've progressed rapidly, can you really be his match? If you win, it's fine; but if you lose, some people won't let you off so easily."

Ye Yuan shook his head without explaining anything, simply handing Lü'er over to Feng Ruoqing.

"If you consider me a friend, take good care of Lü'er for me."

For some reason, Feng Ruoqing felt a hint of joy upon hearing these words.

Ye Yuan was clearly her student; wasn't it too strange to consider him a friend? Yet why did it feel so natural?

"I am your teacher!" Feng Ruoqing said sternly.

Ye Yuan waved his hand, as if unwilling to dwell on the issue.

"Hold Lü'er steady; I'll suppress the cold poison in her body, or she might not make it through tonight."

Feng Ruoqing did as told and steadied Lü'er. Ye Yuan pressed his fingers together and quickly tapped a dozen acupoints on Lü'er's body, then lifted her palm and channeled his Yuan force into her.

When it came to supreme yang and rigidity, the "Lingzhe Nine Yang Divine Art" that Ye Yuan cultivated was the ultimate masculine technique.

Compared to his technique, the one Feng Zhirou cultivated was like a minor sorcerer meeting a great one.

Ye Yuan's Yuan force was extremely dense, making it suitable for suppressing the Nine Yin Cold Poison, but this could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

The Nine Yin Linked Divine Meridian was a natural Nine Yin Absolute Meridian. Once the cold poison erupted, it would act like a ice-sucking bucket, automatically drawing all the cold energy from the surroundings into the body—quite terrifying.

No matter how powerful Ye Yuan's Yuan force was, it couldn't compare to the yin-cold power of the entire world; he could only temporarily suppress the cold poison in Lü'er's body.

As Ye Yuan withdrew his hand, Lü'er's complexion improved slightly, but she remained unconscious.

"I leave Lü'er to you. I'm going to kill someone!" With that, Ye Yuan turned and left.

...

The gate of the Miscellaneous Affairs Office was bustling with people, a rather busy place.

Ye Yuan stepped through the gate but was stopped by two students.

"Which grade are you from? What business do you have at the Miscellaneous Affairs Office?" one student asked.

They didn't stop everyone; Ye Yuan's hostile expression made it clear there was trouble, so they blocked him.

"To kill!" Ye Yuan spat out two words coldly, sending a chill down the two students' spines.

"Are... are you joking! The Danwu Academy forbids private fights among students. Are you trying to violate the academy rules?"

This student was also at the sixth level of Yuan Qi, but under Ye Yuan's aura, his Yuan force seemed unstable.

"I don't have time to joke with you. Where is Lin Tiancheng? Tell him to come out and die!"

"Senior Brother Lin? Have you lost your mind? Leave now, or we won't be polite!" The other student, slightly calmer, moved to drive Ye Yuan away.

A sixth-level Yuan Qi student making wild claims to kill a half-step Liquid Essence expert—wasn't that a sign of insanity?

Ye Yuan ignored them entirely and forcibly walked between them.

These two were gatekeepers and naturally couldn't let Ye Yuan in, so they exerted all their strength to stop him.

"Bang!"

Before their palms could touch Ye Yuan, they were sent flying by his outward-released Yuan force, automatically clearing a path.

Though both were at the sixth level of Yuan Qi, the gap was enormous!

Ye Yuan's Yuan force was several times denser than that of others at the same level; how could these two be his match?

"S... someone is causing trouble! Stop him! Notify Senior Brother Lin quickly!"

One of the students was quite dedicated; even after falling, he ignored the pain and shouted loudly.

The commotion outside had already alerted those inside, and with his shout, the students who had just come out of the Miscellaneous Affairs Office immediately knew what was happening.

A student at the eighth level of Yuan Qi stepped forward to block Ye Yuan and rebuked, "Who are you? How dare you! Do you know where this is? How dare you cause trouble here!"

Ye Yuan paid him no heed and continued walking forward.

"You're asking for death!"

Seeing Ye Yuan's arrogant demeanor, the student flew into a rage and lunged at him, intending to teach him a lesson.

Ye Yuan casually struck out with a palm, and the student was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall before stopping.

"Hiss..."

Everyone drew in a sharp breath!

Ye Yuan was clearly only at the sixth level of Yuan Qi, yet a casual palm strike had such force, sending an eighth-level Yuan Qi student flying.

Clearly, Ye Yuan had held back; otherwise, that eighth-level Yuan Qi student would already be dead.

"Overlapping Wave Heart Palm! He... he is Ye Yuan!"

At that moment, someone in the crowd recognized Ye Yuan's palm technique and immediately guessed his identity.

In the Danwu Academy, only one person could casually execute the Overlapping Wave Heart Palm—Ye Yuan!

Apart from him, even Senior Brother Long Tang couldn't do it!

"Quick! Report to Senior Brother Lin that Ye Yuan is causing trouble at the Miscellaneous Affairs Office! Let's block him together. I don't believe that so many of us can't handle a sixth-level Yuan Qi!" shouted a student who seemed to be a manager.

Indeed, his words roused the others.

Yes, no matter how formidable Ye Yuan was, he was only one person. Among them, many were at the eighth level of Yuan Qi, and quite a few were at the ninth level. How could he possibly be a match for so many?

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over the crowd, sending a chill through everyone.

"Have you thought it through? The grievance has its debtor, the debt has its owner. I only seek Lin Tiancheng. Are you sure you want to be scapegoats?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
