Chapter 105 - Reward (I)
Chapter 105: Reward (I)
The sunlight split the space two meters in front of the school into two parts — bright and dark.
The sunlight split the area two meters in front of the school into two parts.
At this moment, his face was completely red. It was hard to tell if it was because of the scorching sunlight or because he was feeling angry and embarrassed.
He was the eldest senior brother of the martial arts school, the one that everyone had thought would become the next head of the school.
However, on this day, he had been beaten up twice by his junior brother who had been the last to become a core disciple. Even though he had taken an enhancement drug, he had not been able to fight back.
The pride that he always had was already completely shattered at this moment.
Chen Yiming walked towards Lin Yixuan and stopped about a meter away from him.
At this moment, their roles had been completely reversed. Every step he took caused the hearts of the surrounding disciples to skip a beat. Lin Yixuan had become the weaker one.
“Hehehe…” Lin Yixuan suddenly laughed wildly. He had a twisted expression on his face and his hair had fallen loose, making him look like someone who had gone mad.
That laughter completely revealed his true self, changing the surrounding disciples’ impression of him.
“We’ll listen to whoever is stronger. Who was the one who said that earlier?” Chen Yiming looked down at Lin Yixuan, his words carrying the tone of a victor.
“So what if I was the one who said it? And what if it wasn’t?” Lin Yixuan suddenly sat up, returning to his original confident state.
“Are you going back on your word?” Chen Yiming asked in surprise.
“Hehe, I’ve already asked Su Xiuming to hand over the name list to the city government’s office. I was just informing you as a formality,” Lin Yixuan said with a smile.
Updates by
Wan Rong had gradually handed over the job of the school head to Lin Yixuan, who was already considered to be the person in charge of the school.
As long as the person in charge did not say anything, the name list submitted could not be changed.
If Wang Bowen, Chen Yiming, and Teng Zhihui insisted on not participating, they would be disobeying official orders.
At this moment, Wang Bowen walked over to Chen Yiming and suggested, “Junior Brother Chen, there’s no need to waste your breath on Lin Yixuan. Let’s go straight to Master to resolve this issue.”
The moment he finished speaking, Lin Yixuan laughed wildly again. “Tsk tsk tsk… It’s useless. Master has already gone for a meeting with the Myriad Phenomena Faction. Now, I’m in charge of the matters regarding the school.”
He couldn’t wait to see Chen Yiming’s anxious and helpless expression.
“Is the head not in the city?” Chen Yiming asked with a sharp gaze towards him.
Lin Yixuan sensed a hint of killing intent from Chen Yiming’s gaze and was almost frightened out of his wits. However, he quickly pushed it to the back of his mind.
“What’s wrong? Is it that you want to kill me, but don’t dare to do it?” Lin Yixuan smiled.
He stood up and deliberately patted the dust off his training robe. He even puffed out his chest and turned to face Chen Yiming.
Chen Yiming looked up and realized that Lin Yixuan really believed that. The black lines had shrunk back into his chest and turned into a black dot. All the muscles in his body were relaxed, and his sword was abandoned on the ground.
“Do you really think I can’t do anything to you?”
Chen Yiming took half a step forward and threw a punch at Lin Yixuan’s chest.
This was not just an ordinary punch, but one that also carried with it a trace of the power of lightning.
His power of lightning had undergone a change compared to before he had the Level-1 Undying Body talent, and it now had a life of its own.
As long as he did not deliberately cause it to explode, this trace of lightning could continuously drain the energy around it while hiding in Lin Yixuan’s body like a poison.
Chen Yiming already had first-hand experience from cultivating the Thunder Sword Technique and the Flying Feather Sword Technique and knew that internal forces of different attributes would repel each other in the body.” ”? The degree of rejection was related to the types of internal force involved.
The internal force cultivated from the Mantis Snake Sword Technique leaned towards darkness, while the lightning attribute leaned towards light. Even without testing it out, these two attributes would definitely cause a serious repulsion.
Even though Lin Yixuan had completed the drawing of the concept diagram, he had just started cultivating the power in his body, so it was still weak. It couldn’t even be considered an internal force, and there was a qualitative difference between it and Chen Yiming’s power of lightning.
In the end, the power cultivated in Lin Yixuan’s body would be continuously absorbed by the power of lightning, and he would never be able to break through to the warrior realm.
“You…” Lin Yixuan watched helplessly as Chen Yiming threw out a punch. He still couldn’t believe that Chen Yiming would really kill him.
The distance between the two of them was too close. Lin Yixuan was sent flying for the third time, and his body headed straight towards the rock garden in front of the school.
There was a loud crash.
The rocks exploded, and the water in the pool was blown away. The shattered rocks collapsed and trapped Lin Yixuan under the water.
The other disciples in the school had also arrived outside. They watched quietly from a few meters away as Chen Yiming beat up Lin Yixuan.
Su Xiuming and Mu Yuerong’s faces were pale. They were aware of their own limits and knew that they wouldn’t be a match for Chen Yiming even if they went up against him. They could only stand at the side in a daze.
“Junior Brother Chen, watch your strength. Don’t really kill him,” Wang Bowen reminded him loudly with an anxious expression on his face.
If Chen Yiming really killed him, he would definitely be blamed for killing his fellow disciple.
Not only would the head of the school, Wan Rong, not tolerate such a situation when he returned, but the laws and regulations of East Lake City would also not tolerate this behavior.
“Don’t worry. This punch of mine only broke all the bones in Lin Yixuan’s body. He’ll have to lie in bed for a while,” Chen Yiming said calmly, his expression unchanged.
Ordinary people would need 100 days to recover from their injuries, but the recovery ability of warrior candidates was extremely strong, so he would only need a week or two to recover.
When the surrounding disciples heard this, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. It turned out that this junior brother who was the last to join as a core disciple was not a pushover, but a force to be reckoned with.
Chen Yiming leaped up and landed in the pool. He pulled Lin Yixuan out from under the rubble and threw him beside the pond.
“Cough, cough…”
Lin Yixuan coughed out the dirty water that had entered his lungs. Every part of his body was in excruciating pain, and the hatred in his heart made him feel even worse than if he had been killed.
Seeing that Lin Yixuan couldn’t move, Chen Yiming squatted down and reached towards him.
With his experience of searching bodies, he quickly found the important items that Lin Yixuan had brought with him.
A square seal with Wan Rong’s name engraved on it.
A small porcelain bottle that contained the pills that could allow warrior candidates to release a weakened version of their internal force for a short period of time.
A picture with a scenery of black fog. It was a copy of the Mantis Snake Sword Technique’s concept diagram.
Without any hesitation, Chen Yiming took the small porcelain bottle and the concept diagram of the Mantis Snake Sword Technique for himself.
The pills in the small porcelain bottle were very useful to him. He could cultivate enough internal force to use once or twice as a backup, then use his internal force openly.
On the other hand, he would temporarily keep the concept diagram as part of his collection. It would be of great use to him in the future after he managed to resolve the conflict between different types of internal force.
When the surrounding disciples saw Chen Yiming’s actions, they immediately regarded him as someone they couldn’t provoke. Even if they couldn’t be on good terms with him, they couldn’t afford to offend him.
Chen Yiming stood up again and said, “Su Xiuming, go and make a new list. Third Senior Brother, please go with him the entire time. Make sure that he replaces the old list with the new one.”
“This…” Su Xiuming looked at Lin Yixuan.
If he didn’t do as requested, Chen Yiming could easily find some excuse to deal with him. If he did as requested, he would be betraying Lin Yixuan.
He was in a dilemma. No matter what he chose, it would be wrong.
Lin Yixuan endured the pain in his entire body and glared fiercely at Su Xiuming. This could be considered as smashing his last shred of dignity to the ground.
Su Xiuming’s expression looked as bad as if he had just eaten feces. He hesitated for nearly a minute before speaking with Chen Yiming in the end. He then turned around and entered the school to make a new list.
After Su Xiuming left, the other disciples heaved a sigh of relief. They were also afraid that they would be assigned to replace the name list.
