The Legend of Futian - Chapter 74: Previous General Decree of School of the Emperor Star

When Ye Futian returned to the School of the Finance Star, Yi Qingxuan was still there.

"Didn't you go to see your girlfriend? Why are you back?" Yi Qingxuan asked with a smile.

Ye Futian furrowed his brows. It was too shameful to say. "Qingxuan, how is Zhuo Qing's skill?" he asked.

"You met Zhuo Qing?" Yi Qingxuan's pretty eyes went blank. Seeing Ye Futian's gloominess, she guessed what happened.

"Yeah." Ye Futian nodded.

"He's personally taught by the headmaster of the School of the Emperor Star," Yi Qingxuan answered. "He's heavily valued and is already at the Nine-star Glory Plane. He's known as number one of Donghai Academy's dharma."

"His main abilities?" Ye Futian asked.

"He's a spirit elemental mandate sorcerer with a strange life spirit. He has an eerie ability too. He can use the spirit element to control others. He's also good at the wood element and is extremely dangerous," Yi Qingxuan said.

"A controlling mandate sorcerer. No wonder." Something flickered past Ye Futian's expression. According to Yi Qingxuan, the other was a spirit elemental mandate sorcerer specializing in attack and control. Wood elemental sorcery was also known for being strong in controlling. With these two together, he could totally take control of someone.

"There should be some powerful figures in the Glory plane if the School of the Finance Star specializes in battle, right?" Ye Futian asked.

Yi Qingxuan looked at him and said, "There are naturally those with extraordinary talents. There is a Nine-star Glory plane mandate sorcerer specializing in both martial arts and sorcery but it is still hard to defeat Zhuo Qing. There's a reason why he is number one of the Dharma rank."

"I understand, Qingxuan. Help me spread news that," Ye Futian smiled and said, "even if I 'lost' last time at the Luo Palace, I've had a breakthrough in my planes. I will challenge Zhou Mu again tomorrow to continue the battle between my master, the Qin Devil, and the Art Saint. I hope the students of Donghai Academy will come witness it."

Hearing this, Yi Qingxuan was confused. She asked, "Didn't you say you didn't lose last time?"

"Since they're saying I lost, then just play along." Ye Futian smiled confidently.

Yi Qingxuan seemed to understand something. She glanced at the boy. "You're so mean." Zhou Mu's reputation would be destroyed if he was defeated yesterday!

"Yu Sheng," Ye Futian called. The other glanced at him. "How's your injury? Can you still fight?" he asked.

Yu Sheng grinned. "No problem."

Yi Qingxuan looked at them with sparkling eyes. She wondered what Ye Futian was planning. "I'll go now," she said.

Soon, the School of the Finance Star released news that Ye Futian would challenge Zhou Mu again tomorrow and invited everyone to watch. This time, Ye Futian said he would continue the past battle between the Qin Devil and Art Saint. It was clear that Ye Futian was extremely confident this time.

The location was before the School of the Emperor Star.

Zhou Mu's plane was higher than Ye Futian and this time was to continue an old battle. The reputations of their masters were involved too. It was impossible for Zhou Mu to turn him down.

Donghai Academy was bustling. The news naturally traveled to the School of the Emperor Star. This time, everyone paid attention to the battle. Even the big figures were paying attention in the background.

...

The next morning, sunlight fell onto Donghai Academy. The buildings were majestic under the glow. The School of the Emperor Star seemed like the strongest of Donghai Academy and dominated the other six schools. With this background, it naturally seemed more imposing. Today, many people gathered before it early in the morning. They were waiting for news and anticipating something.

Many years ago, two legendary figures appeared from the School of the Emperor Star. They were the summoning artist, Art Saint, and guqin musician, the Qin Devil. The two were rare geniuses who fell for the same woman. The Qin Devil won the girl's heart but had his natal spirit destroyed and was forced away from the city.

Many years later, their disciples were both cultivating in Donghai Academy.

The disciple of the Art Saint who had won was still studying in the School of the Emperor Star and was cultivating with the headmaster. On the other hand, the Qin Devil's disciple was cultivating with the headmaster of the School of the Finance Star.

As if this was destined, the Qin Devil's disciple challenged the Art Saint's disciple in his master's name. He seemed to want to reverse the past humiliation. However, Ye Futian had apparently already lost months ago at the Luo Palace. There was word that he had improved now but Zhou Mu had improved as well. Where did Ye Futian's confidence come from?

Finally, someone strolled down from the School of the Finance Star.

These days, the Finance Star students had been targeted by the Emperor Star and Treasury Star but could not fight back. Now, Ye Futian had returned and challenged Zhou Mu. The Finance Star students naturally had to come support him. They began waiting since the morning. When they saw Ye Futian come down, they went to him, creating a powerful group.

Ye Futian walked in the front. He wore all white and carried a guqin. He was easy on the eyes.

Tang Wan had been keeping an eye on this battle. Seeing Ye Futian come out like this, she was speechless. This guy…

Challenges happened occasionally in the academy but the attention on this duel between two Glory plane disciples was unprecedented. Tang Wan was impressed. But if the Qin Devil knew about this, he would definitely want to come watch. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

The spectators followed the group and even passersby joined in. The crowd grew bigger and bigger. The commotion was shocking. People who didn't know about it thought that it was a fight between all seven schools.

Finally, the giant group arrived at the School of the Emperor Star. There was a similar crowd there waiting. Many of them looked at Ye Futian coldly.

Someone said, "A few months ago, Zhou Mu defeated him. Today, Zhou Mu can defeat him a second time. Let's see how he'll handle it after making such a commotion."

The other students were all discussing this. Did Zhou Mu have the advantage or did Ye Futian have a better grasp on the battle?

Ye Futian sat down before the school and placed his guqin before him. Soon, there was a graceful melody. Ye Futian was playing without regard to anyone else.

In the pavilion, many big figures looked down coldly at the giant crowd. Ye Futian was just here to stir trouble.

At this time, a group walked down from the school. Zhou Mu was one of them. His eyes were frigid. He approached Ye Futian step by step.

The music stopped suddenly. Ye Futian looked up with clear and clean eyes at Zhou Mu. He smiled and said, "I am Ye Futian, disciple of the Qin Devil, Five-star Glory plane." Ye Futian was fighting under the name of the Qin Devil's disciple. He had a guqin before him. The location was where the Qin Devil had once studied at. The significance went without saying. He was fighting for his professor.

"Zhou Mu, disciple of the Art Saint, Six-star Glory plane," Zhou Mu replied coldly.

"Please," Ye Futian said nonchalantly. Lowering his head, he thrummed the instrument strings. Music notes sounded. The strings and hearts all trembled. Since this was a fight for his professor, he would use musical spells.

"This piece is the Decree of the General." As soon as he finished, notes streamed out of the instrument endlessly. At this moment, a beautiful image appeared in everyone's minds. They seemed to have been transported to a battlefield. The war drums shook the sky as the soldiers went to war.

Spiritual qi grouped around Zhou Mu. He used his finger as a brush to paint in the air.

An invisible sound wave descended. It hit Zhou Mu in the front and knocked his painting down. At the same time, the sound wave pierced into his brain. His mind shook. Ye Futian's music spells were able to affect him now. Compared to last time, Ye Futian's skills seemed to have increased greatly.

Zhou Mu's expression grew more serious. The spiritual qi grew more terrifying. He reached out and began multitasking. Both hands painted at the same time. He created a sword with a single stroke. It whistled through the air toward Ye Futian.

However, an invisible strength gathered around Ye Futian now. The music notes transformed into a beating war drum. It was powerful like thousands of galloping horses. The sword flew here and shattered.

Zhou Mu endlessly created swords that flew crazily to where Ye Futian was sitting. However, as soon as they got close, they would turn to dust. The area had turned into a battlefield. Ye Futian was like the general commanding the entire army.

As the music intensified, a shocking music note storm gathered around Ye Futian. They did not dissipate and had a terrifying power. Swords whistled and clanged. Endless swords flew toward Ye Futian. However, the people only heard the war drums shaking the earth. The ground quaked and shattered the swords.

"Such terrifying musical spells. I don't know if Zhou Mu's demons will be able to resist it if Ye Futian keeps playing," someone said. The spectators could feel that Ye Futian's music notes were still gathering and strengthening. He seemed to be gathering a military with thousands of soldiers and horses; they would shatter everything with the general's decree.

Finally, Zhou Mu finished. He had drawn a Golden Ape made completely out of gold. It ran toward Ye Futian. The earth shook with its steps.

"What a strong summoned beast. Ye Futian had given Zhou Mu time for him to wildly use his spiritual qi to draw." The spectators were nervous.

The Golden Ape stepped into the storm around Ye Futian. There were giant booms. At that moment in the battlefield made of music notes, the war drums shattered everything. Thousands of horses galloped out. Everything in the path of the music storm turned to dust. The Golden Ape cracked endlessly but, just like last time, it still kept going toward Ye Futian.

The ending, though, was different this time.

Ye Futian kept playing. The endless power rolled past. With a boom, the Golden Ape's body was pulverized, turning into spiritual qi. Zhou Mu's expression changed drastically. His life spirit appeared behind him as he continued drawing.

"You really think you won last time?" Ye Futian said nonchalantly. His fingers moved gracefully and he stood up. The moment he strummed the strings, the boundless music storm destroyed everything as if following the general's decree. It arrived before Zhou Mu, making it impossible for him to keep painting.

The Legend of Futian - Chapter 73: Yu Sheng Got Hurt

When the leader of the Nandou clan saw the serious look on Minister Zuo's face, he could not help but ask, "How is it, Minister Zuo?"

"I have some questions. May I speak with her alone?" Minister Zuo asked.

The Nandou clan leader nodded and left them alone.

Minister Zuo looked at Hua Jieyu, a great beauty at the age of about 16, 17. She would not lose by too much in comparison with the goddess-like girl from Mount Tianyao days ago.

"Are you betrothed to anyone?" he asked her.

Hua Jieyu froze, then shook her head.

Minister Zuo was silent, seeming to be deep in thought, but then he saw Hua Jieyu looking at him intently. "Senior, the person you brought to the City of Qingzhou, is he back?"

"Huh?" Minister Zuo was confused. The person he brought to the City of Qingzhou?

"From Donghai Academy," she explained. Minister Zuo stopped to think for a moment and then his eyes brighten in realization. In his mind, he thought of the words a certain young man said, "I already have a girlfriend and she's more beautiful than you."

"He's already returned to the academy." Minister Zuo smiled and nodded. She smiled as well, feeling the worry in her heart disappear.

"Brother Nandou!" Minister Zuo called out. The Nandou clan leader returned upon being summoned and looked at the two people in the room in confusion.

"Goodbye," Minister Zuo said to the clan leader. Then, he turned with his hands joined to salute Hua Jieyu. This was not a gesture to a junior, but a gesture of respect and honor.

The Nandou clan leader was shocked and asked, "Minister Zuo, what does this mean?"

Minister Zuo just laughed loudly and with every step, he ascended in the sky. The head of the clan leader yelled out to him, "Minister Zuo!"

"The fate of an empress, the mother of the world!" Minister Zuo's stern voiced traveled. The family head was frozen in place and watched Minister Zuo get further and further away.

The fate of an empress!

His mind was anything but calm. At that moment, he thought of many things. Hua Jieyu was naturally gifted, that was why he had wanted Minister Zuo to tell her fortune. The clan leader wanted to know if she was going to be able to restore the Nandou clan's glory. But now, it seemed like she was destined for a different path—the road to become an empress.

Hua Jieyu was also shocked. She saw the family head looking at her, so she told him, "I don't believe in fate and I also don't want to become Empress. I'm going back to the academy." When she finished, she turned and left.

...

When Ye Futian got back to Donghai Academy, he could feel something different in the atmosphere. Everyone was whispering and discussing amongst themselves. And once he stepped onto campus, this atmosphere became more obvious.

"Ye Futian is back," said the students of the School of the Finance Star.

"He's finally back," said someone else. Many people seemed to have been anticipating Ye Futian's return. They all looked so happy to see him. This type of treatment was something new to Ye Futian. While he walked to his destination, people were greeting him.

"Hey!" a beautiful girl called out to Ye Futian from the building of the Finance School above.

Ye Futian turned his attention to the graceful girl. He knew her. She had made a lasting impression on him. Afterall, she was the first female to tell him that he wasn't a man. It was going to be difficult to forget someone like her.

"I have a name." Ye Futian smiled.

She just stared at him and asked, "What level are you now?"

"Five-starred Glory Plane. You're not trying to fight me again, are you?" Ye Futian was feeling uncertain. Were all girls crazy about fighting? One just left, now there was another.

"I won't fight you. The ones you have to fight are the people of the Emperor Star school and the Treasury Star school," the girl said. Ye Futian looked confused. More people came up to them.

"What happened?" Ye Futian asked. He had just returned and the atmosphere at the academy felt strange.

"Junior Brother Ye Futian, the Finance Star school hasn't been doing too hot as of late," said a young man.

"Why is that?" asked Ye Futian.

"Recently, the students of those two schools have been very arrogant. From time to time, they'll pick fights with the students of other schools, and our school is the most pitiful because they seem to be picking on us in particular," the young man explained.

"The students of the School of the Emperor Star and the School of the Treasury Star are stronger to begin with, so naturally the students of our school can't compete with them," said someone else. Ye Futian had gotten famous around Donghai Academy for fighting, so everyone from the Finance Star school was excited for him to be back.

Ye Futian frowned. Both of those schools had previously paid a visit to Yi Xiang to congratulate him on taking on a disciple, now they were joining hands to torment the School of the Finance Star. There was definitely a secret involved in all of this. What did the two elders of those schools talk about with Yi Xiang that day?

Ye Futian remembered that Yi Xiang came to reprimand him that day after their little chat. He seemed to be in a bad mood. Based on how things were going now, something definitely happened that day.

"Where's Yu Sheng?" Ye Futian knew, with Yu Sheng's bad temper, he would not have just stood by and watched all of this happen.

"It gets me angry just talking about what happened," someone spoke. "Because of this situation, Junior Brother Yu Sheng went to block off the entrance of the School of the Treasury Star. He beat up a ton of people, but those shameless jerks had two eight-starred Glory Plane cultivators gang up on him. One of those guys is the second strongest Glory Plane cultivator in their whole school. As a five-starred Glory Plane cultivator, Junior Brother Yu Sheng battled to his best ability, but was defeated in the end."

Ye Futian had a fairly good understanding of Yu Sheng's powers. The three-level difference should not have been a problem, but his opponents were from the Treasury Star school; one of them was even known as the second strongest Glory Plane cultivator, so they were probably also naturally gifted to begin with. Yu Sheng was still not able to release his Life Spirit and show his true potential, so if they ganged up on him, it was understandable that he was defeated.

"Okay, I got it," said Ye Futian. He then began to walk back to his dorm.

In the courtyard, Ye Futian could see Yu Sheng. He was topless, showing off his copper-toned skin, while Yi Qingxuan was applying medication to his wounds.

"You guys have already progressed to this stage while I was gone?" Ye Futian blinked his eyes in disbelief and approached the two. Yi Qingxuan blushed and glared at Ye Futian. "Stop joking around."

"Good going, Yu Sheng. You got the nerve to go pick a fight at the School of the Treasury Star as a five-starred Glory Plane cultivator? Why don't you go fight every student? You feel good about yourself?" Ye Futian stared at Yu Sheng. "How are your injuries?"

"Nothing too bad. I'll be better in a couple of days. It's Yi Qingxuan who insisted on applying medication," said Yu Sheng, holding back a smile.

"Doesn't this kind of treatment make you want to go get hurt again?" Ye Futian laughed. Yi Qingxuan rolled her eyes at his comment. "If you want to get hurt, then go alone."

"You're so protective of him already?" Ye Futian was speechless. Then, he asked her, "Yi Qingxuan, what the hell is going on with the schools of the Emperor Star and Treasury Star?"

She turned serious at his question. "I heard from Father that they're getting greedier for power and want to change the way the seven schools are run at Donghai Academy."

"How do they plan on doing that?" He squinted his eyes in confusion.

"They want to be the top powers of Donghai Academy and for the seven schools to be joined together," said Yi Qingxuan.

"So, that's why they're sending their students out to pick fights?" asked Ye Futian.

"Yeah, I think it's their way of making their wishes clear to the academy," nodded Yi Qingxuan. "Their two schools have always been the strongest of the seven, and so most of the best students are gathered in those schools. Right now, there aren't many students from the other schools who can defeat them."

Ye Futian nodded his head and turned to leave. "I'm going out for a while."

"Where are you going?" asked Yi Qingxuan. Ye Futian had just returned, where could he be off to again?

"I'm being a third-wheel here, don't want to disturb your time together," said Ye Futian. He waved and continued, "I'm going to go see my girlfriend."

Yi Qingxuan laughed. This guy was always joking around.

Ye Futian headed to the School of the Emperor Star. When he left, he told Hua Jieyu that he would be back soon, but now, it had already been a couple of months. She must be worried sick.

He walked up all the stairs to reach the School of the Emperor Star all the way at the top. The students there began to discuss amongst each other as soon as they saw Ye Futian at their school.

"What was he doing here now after leaving with Minister Zuo months ago?" someone asked.

"I don't know. His powers are really strong. He was even able to defeat the disciple of Minister Zuo, but he still can't compare to our school's genius, Zhou Mu. I heard Zhou Mu has already gotten to the six-starred Glory Plane. If Ye Futian and Zhou Mu met then Ye Futian would be done for," Someone remarked.

Ye Futian ignored all these comments. He was going to get revenge on the two schools later. Right now, his priority was to go see Hua Jieyu.

He continued on his way up, and what was weird was, he actually ran into Zhou Mu.

Zhou Mu looked at Ye Futian coldly. Next to him, was another young man.

"Ye Futian, it seems like you've come to a place you have no business being in," said Zhou Mu in a cold demeanor.

"I'm here to see the Grandmaster." Ye Futian smiled in return.

"So, what? The School of the Emperor Star is not a place that you can come and go as you please," Zhou Mu sneered.

Ye Futian looked at Zhou Mu, he did not want to waste his breath with him. Ye Futian tried to walk past him, but the young man standing next to Zhou Mu shifted to the side to prevent Ye Futian from moving forward. The young man laughed, "I've heard many good things about you, Junior Brother Ye Futian, but I never imagined you to be so rude."

Ye Futian stared at him and was on his way again. His clothes blew in the wind, his aura domineering.

The young man smiled weakly and the look in his eyes made a drastic change. The next moment, Ye Futian felt like he could not control his own spirit and was in pain. He stood in place and lifted his head. He stared at the young man next to Zhou Mu.

"Emperor Star disciple, Zhuo Qing." the young man introduced himself. "Although Junior Brother Ye Futian's natural gifts are impressive, you should know that not everyone in Donghai Academy is like Jing Yang. I'm sure you've had a taste of Junior Brother Zhou Mu's powers at the Luo Palace. There are multiple students like Zhou Mu at the Emperor Star school, so if you continue to be so arrogant, you'll be the only one at a disadvantage."

Zhuo Mu spoke with pride and he had the right to be. As a nine-starred Glory Plane cultivator, he was the most powerful person of the Glory Plane in the whole Emperor Star school. Some people even call him the number one sorcerer of Donghai Academy. His natural gifts were unbeatable.

"You're right," Ye Futian said with a smile. As he turned to leave, he spoke again, "I hope the students of the School of the Emperor Star are truly as powerful as you said."

Ye Futian was in such a rush to get to the school because he was afraid Hua Jieyu was worried about him, but since he was stopped on the way, then he could only use a different way to let her know he was back.

The Legend of Futian - Chapter 72: Hua Jieyu’s Fate

In Qingzhou Academy, two figures strolled through the forested path in the academy like a couple. The girl was 18-years-old. It was the prime of one's youth. She was pure yet sexy. The boy was a bit younger but had an outstanding aura and was very handsome.

"Do you have to leave today?" Qin Yi lowered her head. She walked quickly and her voice was sad.

"Yeah." Ye Futian nodded.

"You brat. You want to leave as soon as you see your senior? Am I that unappreciated?" Qin Yi gave Ye Futian a look.

"Senior, you know that Donghai City has a lot of things that need someone so successful to do," Ye Futian said jokingly with a smile.

"I trust you." Qin Yi glared in mocking anger and then smiled. "Back then, you said you were a mandate sorcerer and I didn't believe you. Now, I'll believe whatever you say."

"My charisma is getting stronger," Ye Qingxuan said proudly. "Are you falling for me?"

Qin Yi was taken by surprise. She smiled and continued walking forward as she said, "Yeah, I am."

"Well, it doesn't matter. Too many people are pursuing me. Senior, you're too slow." Ye Futian smiled.

"Go die." Qin Yi raised a slim leg and kicked Ye Futian while rolling her eyes. Qin Yi looked especially attractive now.

The students who passed by saw the two play-fighting. They were all envious, thinking that Ye Futian was still the same powerful Ye Futian. But now, they were no longer looking at him with jealousy and hatred. Instead, there was some respect. They all knew what had happened in Qingzhou City. The Ye Futian now had become someone they needed to look up to. In the future, he might even become a legend of Qingzhou Academy.

There was a pretty girl standing in the near distance. She was beautiful and tall. After half a year, her beauty had increased.

"Senior, look, I didn't lie," Ye Futian said to Qin Yi after seeing the girl.

"Look how cocky you are." Qin Yi sighed inwardly and they walked forward.

"Why didn't you come see me?" Feng Qingxue asked as she forced herself to smile.

"I'm here now, aren't I?" Ye Futian smiled. "The little girl from before has become more beautiful. Do you miss me?"

"This brat." Qin Yi looked at him, speechless from his narcissism.

"Yeah," Feng Qingxue nodded with a smile. Qin Yi was shocked.

"That sucks. You'll have to keep missing me." Ye Futian shrugged.

Feng Qingxue studied him. "I want to see the outside world too."

"It's dangerous out there and you're so pretty. It'll be more dangerous for you," Ye Futian said.

"But you're there, right?" Feng Qingxue seemed to have gathered all her courage to say that.

"Don't, Uncle Feng will think I stole you away." Ye Futian reached out and petted Feng Qingxue's head. She froze, allowing Ye Futian to mess up her hair. This felt so familiar. But sadly, everything was different and they could not go back.

"How is Yu Sheng?" Feng Qingxue asked.

"Oh, Yu Sheng," Ye Futian muttered. He was angry thinking about the guy. "He's dating and doesn't want me anymore."

Feng Qingxue was shocked. Even Yu Sheng was dating? Thinking of this, she suddenly felt bitter. It seemed that time had really changed a lot.

"What about you and Hua Jieyu? Are you dating?" Feng Qingxue studied him.

"She can't escape from me. She didn't want me to come here." Thinking of the fox, Ye Futian's eyes twinkled. He was still smiling casually but it made Feng Qingxue jealous. They were the perfect pair.

"I wish you two well." Feng Qingxue smiled gently.

"We will." Ye Futian smiled as well. "I'm leaving. I don't want you two to miss me too much, so I'll hug you two."

"Okay." Feng Qingxue nodded. She walked forward and hugged Ye Futian. She leaned her head against his chest as if wanting to enjoy that feeling. For a moment, her heart was besieged. Tears rolled down instantly. She pushed Ye Futian away and ran off with a tear-streaked face. So that was how it felt to hug him.

Looking at Feng Qingxue's back, Ye Futian sighed inside. Qin Yi rolled her eyes. She walked forward to hug him lightly and then separated. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Senior, I'm leaving." Ye Futian smiled and turned confidently.

Minister Zuo and the others were waiting in the distance. Seeing Ye Futian come, the girl beside Minister Zuo was unhappy. She said, "This is someone with a girlfriend, shameless jerk."

Minister Zuo felt awkward. This girl was full of resentment.

"Uncle Zuo, let's go," Ye Futian said when he got close.

Minister Zuo nodded. The people climbed on their demons.

Sensing something, Ye Futian glanced at the girl. "I'm attractive but you don't have to keep staring at me, right?"

"Shameless," the girl spat. Then she turned away.

"I…" Ye Futian was speechless.

The demons leaped into the sky. The people of Qingzhou Academy watched them leave. Many of the big figures still had not calmed down.

In the sky, Minister Zuo asked Ye Futian from his demon, "Futian, what are your plans when you return to Donghai City? Will you keep studying at the academy? Would you like to go to Nandou's Royal City?"

"Are there many talented men in the Royal City?" Ye Futian asked.

"Of course," Minister Zuo answered. "The best of Nandou go to the Royal City, including the most talented from Donghai City."

"Really?" Ye Futian chuckled. "Of course I will but not now."

"Oh, I'm sure you have many things you still need to do in Donghai City. I won't pressure you but next spring, something big will happen in Nandou Nation. You must come." Minister Zuo smiled.

"What big thing?" Ye Futian was confused.

"Do you know about Nandou Nation's history?" Minister Zuo asked.

"I heard from my professor that Nandou was once ruled by the Nandou family," Ye Futian answered. "Then, Emperor Donghuang and Emperor Ye ruled over the Divine Prefectures of the East. The powers of the world were reordered. Nandou was weak and walked down from the throne, replaced by the current king."

"Yes, the current royal family is named Luo. In order to remind themselves, they have not changed the name of the country. In addition, they hold a Tingfeng Banquet every ten years. Next year will be the next full decade. At this time, not only will the East Sea Prefecture come, people from all prefectures and cities of Nandou will come. The heroes will aggregate and meet each other. You can't miss it."

"If all the strong men of Nandou are there, why should I go?" Ye Futian asked.

"The stars of the banquet are your generation. The goal is to see the future of Nandou nation. The outstanding figures of Donghai Academy would definitely be included," Minister Zuo answered.

"Oh." Ye Futian nodded. He first thought of his professor's ailment. Since the Tingfeng Banquet was important, if the king noticed and liked him, it would be easier to heal Hua Fengliu, right?

"Oh, Xia Fan is the young master of the East Sea Prefecture. With his father there, I cannot deal with him directly. After returning, I must take care of some matters. To protect you from danger, I'll keep the Decree of the Minister with you. People will treat it as if I'm there." Minister Zuo gave Ye Futian his badge and said, "You still have to be careful about assassinations."

Ye Futian looked at the badge. He needed it but he did not accept it. "Uncle Zuo," he said. He was still suspicious. Was Minister Zuo treating him so well really because he helped block the blow from the Snow Ape? He had defeated the princess with one blow because he was brash, but instead of blaming him, the minister had made the princess apologize too.

"Take it. This is useless for me. Just don't do bad things under my name," Minister Zuo said jokingly.

"Okay." Ye Futian nodded and took it. He would remember this gift. The badge was truly useful to him.

"Professor." The princess of Nandou looked at Ye Futian with jealousy. Who was the minister's true disciple?

The group advanced forward and finally reached Donghai City. Minister Zuo personally saw Ye Futian to the academy.

"Futian, remember, don't miss out next spring. Your stage shouldn't be in Donghai City," Minister Zuo advised.

"Okay, Uncle Zuo. I'm going back now," Ye Futian said. Minister Zuo nodded and watched as Ye Futian entered Donghai Academy.

"Let's go back too," Minister Zuo said.

But then, a figure walked out. He said before Minister Zuo, "Greetings, Minister Zuo. I am Nandou Ku."

"You are from the Nandou clan?"

"Yes, Minister Zuo. I have waited here for many days. My clan leader wishes for your help." Nandou Ku bowed.

After pondering, Minister Zuo nodded. "Since Nandou is inviting me, I will go with you."

"After you, Minister," Nandou Ku said politely. The group once again set off and soon arrived at the Nandou clan's home.

Hearing that Minister Zuo had arrived, the clan leader personally welcomed him to the courtyard. Other than the two, there was also a beautiful girl. It was Hua Jieyu.

"Minister Zuo, this is a descendant of the Nandou clan. Could you please tell me her fate and fortune?" the clan leader asked. Not many knew that Minister Zuo was an astrologer but he did.

"Okay." Minister Zuo nodded.

"Jieyu, please cooperate," the clan leader said. He had once asked Minister Zuo to calculate his but was rejected. Some things were better left unknown. However, Minister Zuo thought that Hua Jieyu was unimportant.

Hua Jieyu looked at him. Since Minister Zuo was back safely, that guy should be back too. He had lied saying he would be back in one or two days.

Minister Zuo walked to Hua Jieyu and cast his life chart. The light enveloped Hua Jieyu. After a count, Minister Zuo collected his life spirit. He was shocked. Staring at Hua Jieyu, he thought it was unbelievable. What kind of people were they? Why were their fates all so crazy?

The Legend of Futian - Chapter 71: Beheaded

The people of the School of Martial Arts walked up and greeted him with bow. "Greetings, Minister Zuo."

Minister Zuo nodded his head. Leng Qingfeng, the Cabinet Master of the House of Swordsmen looked at Ye Futian and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"What is my Senior Sister doing here?" Ye Futian did not answer his question. Leng Qingfeng took a look around at everyone.

"This..." he did not know how to explain the situation.

"She's your Senior Sister?" the young woman snickered. Then to Ye Futian, she said, "She's been my servant these past couple days, but it's such a pity that she doesn't know how to take care of other people. If you promise to be my underling, I'll let her go. How about it?"

"You did this?" Ye Futian glared at her coldly.

"Ye Futian, I'm fine," Qin Yi said, pulling at his sleeve.

"But I'm not fine, Senior Sister." Ye Futian looked at Qin Yi. He moved her hands away and walked towards the young woman. His demeanor was cold, but at the same time, he looked furious. Seeing him like this slightly frightened the young woman. She asked, "What do you want?"

"Didn't you say that you wanted to battle again? I'll fulfill your wish," he said. His pace quickened, racing straight towards the young woman.

"You're crazy!" She saw Ye Futian charging at her, but because he was going too fast, he reached her before she was able to defend herself. A punch was thrown at her. The young women gathered energy to defend herself, but his fist broke through her defense and landed on her chest. The young woman flew through the air and was thrown through two closed doors. After breaking the doors, she landed on the ground.

Everyone watching was dumbfounded at the scene they just witnessed. Qin Yi looked pale because she knew that this young woman was the princess of the Nandou Nation. Even Xia Fan, the Vice Chief of the East Sea Prefecture and the person who destroyed Qin Yi's family, had to kneel down in her presence. Ye Futian actually threw her in the air with a single punch.

"Princess!" someone shouted.

"Ye Futian, that was out of line," said someone from the School of Martial Arts, as a group of them went up to help the princess.

The young woman walked out of the room she had just been thrown into, with a hand on her chest. Her eyes were red, as it she was really going to cry. She had never been hit before. What's more, this was already the second time.

"Master, he's bullying me. Kill him!" the young woman ordered as she looked at Minister Zuo. The powerful cultivators of Nandou Nation surrounded Ye Futian.

"Minister Zuo, please have mercy!" Leng Qingfeng pleaded.

"Ye Futian." Qin Yi's face was pale and she placed herself in front of him.

"Step down!" order Minister Zuo. The people surrounding Ye Futian retreated.

"Master..." said the young woman. She was shocked and did not understand what her master was doing.

"Have you had enough?" In a stern tone, Minister Zuo said to the young woman, "Apologize to Ye Futian."

"Me? Apologize to him?" The young woman's eyes were about to pop out of her head as she stared at her master. She was a princess and she was the one who had to apologize after getting hit by Ye Futian?

"Are you not going to listen to me?" Minister Zuo looked at the young woman with a serious look on his face. He could not believe that this child actually ordered to have Ye Futian killed. She would know that this was for her own good some time in the future.

"Uncle Zuo, forget about the apology. I can't bear it," said Ye Futian. "All I want to know is who made my Senior Sister a servant?" General Qin Shuai, the protector of the City of Qingzhou, was disabled by Xia Fan when he offended him for the well-being of the city. Now, his daughter, who was cultivating at Qingzhou Academy, was being treated as a servant? Witnessing this with his own two eyes, it was clear that Ye Futian was beyond furious. If it was the young woman's fault, he would hold this against her, even if she was the princess.

"Hurry up and tell him," Minister Zuo ordered the young woman.

She felt wronged seeing her master side with Ye Futian. Her eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Ye Futian and told him, "It was the City Lord who sent her to take care of me. Why are you blaming me?"

"Murong Yunshan?" Ye Futian's eyes grew cold. He asked the people of the School of Martial Arts, "Is this how you treat the daughter of General Qin?"

Everyone lowered their heads in shame. They knew that City Lord Murong Yunshan was purposely picking on Qin Yi, but what could they do? Now, it was Ye Futian who would stand up against the Murong family again. Last time as well, he executed Murong Qiu in front of students of Qingzhou Academy all by himself. It was just as the Thunder Pavilion Lord had said when he left, the prestigious Qingzhou Academy was nothing compared to this one young man.

Not even a year had passed, and this young man was back in Qingzhou Academy. He was actually able to defeat a five-starred Glory Plane Mandate Sorcerer with one punch. To add to that, the person he hit was the princess of the Nandou Nation and afterwards, Minister Zuo even had the princess apologize to Ye Futian.

The world had changed so quickly. When the Pavilion Lord of the Thunder Pavilion left, he said that Qingzhou Academy would know what they missed out on when Ye Futian became known to the world. It seemed like what he said was slowly coming true. Ye Futian's growth was truly shocking.

"General Qin?" Minister Zuo looked at Ye Futian and asked, "Ye Futian, is there a story behind this?"

"General Qin is the protector of our city," answered Ye Futian. He turned to Minister Zuo and summarized the story of General Qin, and Xia Fan, Murong Yunshan and the others. When he finished retelling the story, Minister Zuo became extra cold. He said, "Those b*stards! Murong Yunshan plunged the people into misery and suffering, but has become the City Lord?"

"Uncle Zuo, I want him dead," said Ye Futian. He was out for blood.

"Go, bring him here," ordered Minister Zuo.

"Understood!" someone answered his order and flew to find Murong Yunshan. The people of Qingzhou Academy shuddered at this scene. Was the Murong family done for? One word from the prime minister of the Nandou Nation was enough to have a whole family killed off, even if it was the City Lord.

"Ye Futian," called out Qin Yi. She looked at the young man standing in front of her. It hadn't even been a year since she last saw him, what on earth had he been through? For her, he attacked the princess.

"Senior Sister, everything is okay now." Ye Futian smiled at Qin Yi.

She nodded, eyes red. In this time, she learned the truth about human nature. Many people treated her poorly. Even the people who courted her before changed their attitude towards her. As if it was not enough that Xia Fan and Murong Yunshan caused her father's disability, Murong Shan used the arrival of the princess as an excuse to suppress her growth in cultivation.

"Don't you still owe me an apology?" the young woman asked Ye Futan. She still felt wronged.

"Senior Sister, did she give you a hard time?" Ye Futian asked Qin Yi.

"No," she said as she shook her head.

"Then I'll forgive you," he said to the young woman.

"You..." The young woman pointed a finger at Ye Futian, not knowing what to say. Then she turned to look at Minister Zuo with puppy dog eyes.

"That's enough. No matter what, you were in the wrong first. Why do you need a servant when traveling? Treat this as a lesson learned," said Minister Zuo gently. He then turned to Ye Futian. "Ye Futian, I watched her grow up. Other than being a little obstinate, she doesn't mean any harm. Please don't take what she does to heart, and take care of her if possible."

"I need him to take care of me?" The young girl felt that Minister Zuo was a little strange since coming down from the mountains. What on earth happened?

"Uncle Zuo, that's too much. I was a little rash. This situation had nothing to do with the princess, so I am at fault," said Ye Futian. Minister Zuo showed much respect for Ye Futian. Even though he saved Minister Zuo on Mount Tianyao, Ye Futian knew that there was a limit to what he could do. After all, the young woman was the princess and her master was Minister Zuo.

"Is this the attitude you use in an apology?" the young woman chewed on her own lip.

"Fine, then I'll promise to battle you the next time you ask," he said.

"Who wants to fight you?" The young woman scratched her head. After that one punch, she finally realized, she could not defeat him.

Minister Zuo saw her expression and could not help but smile. It looked like her temper had dissolved. Ye Futian and the princess should have made up by now, right?"

After a little while, Murong Yunshan was escorted to them. He still had no idea what was going on. When he saw Ye Futian, Murong Yunshan saw red. His son, Murong Qiu, had died at the hands of Ye Futian.

"Greetings to Minister Zuo and the princess from Qingzhou City's City Lord, Murong Yunshan," he bowed.

"Ye Futian, what do you want to do with him?" asked Minister Zuo.

"I want him beheaded," Ye Futian answered without hesitation.

Murong Yunshan was in complete shock. He lifted his head to look at Ye Futian. What was going on?

"Off with his head!" One word from Minister Zuo and the people standing behind Murong Yunshan restrained him. In this moment, Murong Yunshan finally realized the predicament he was in.

"Please spare me, Minister Zuo! What did I do wrong?" Murong Yunshan's expression was completely different. However, Minister Zuo did not bother with him. The minister looked at Ye Futian and felt a cold shiver when he saw Ye Futian's cold eyes.

It was then that Murong Yunshan understood, the person who wanted to kill him wasn't Minister Zuo, but was the young man in front of him. He was once an outer-sect disciple of Qingzhou Academy. Murong Yunshan thought of the Fall Quarter Examinations. That was the first time Ye Futian stood up in the middle of the stage, stubborn and unwavering. Murong Yunshan never expected that the lives of both him and his son would end in the hands of Ye Futian.

"I cannot accept this!" Murong Yunshan screamed furiously. A moment later, Qingzhou City's City Lord was dead in Qingzhou Academy.

"Have the Murong family property confiscated," Minister Zuo ordered. Immediately, his people left to get things taken care of.

"What do you think of making General Qin the new City Lord of Qingzhou City?" Minister Zuo asked Ye Futian.

"Thank you, Uncle Zuo!" Naturally, Ye Futian had the same thought, but he did not feel right asking this of Minister Zuo. He was so shocked at this treatment he was receiving from Minister Zuo. Ye Futian was being treated so well, it was getting suspicious.

The casual words exchanged in this courtyard flipped the whole city upside down. First, the powerful Murong Chamber of Commerce was destroyed. Originally, the Municipal Guards tried to resist, but when they found out the prime minister of the Nandou Nation ordered the destruction, they gave up the thought of defending it. There were also many guards in the Municipal Guards who actually volunteered to clean out the Murong family house. They did not want to be suspected of siding with the Murong family. Then, out of nowhere, General Qin was invited to fill the spot of City Lord. All of this happened in such a short period of time. Very quickly the news spread all through the City of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou Academy was the first to get the news. All the students were extremely shocked. They heard that the leader of all these events was actually Ye Futian!

Limitless - Chapter 190: So what if you're a Supreme Realm cultivator?

Sun Zhangshan was a youthful Supreme Realm cultivator. Never in his wildest dreams would he expect that a King’s Realm cultivator would attack him so brazenly in front of so many people.

The slap had stunned him. He stood there, his face swelling up, but he didn’t seem to react. That slightly pandering smile was still frozen on his face.

The entire arena was stunned.

The students and teachers of the Purple Cloud School did not know what was happening, and they found it rather curious.

Why would this pill refining god, Sensei Song, slap Vice Principal Sun Zhangshan?

Many people felt their hearts in their mouths.

"You… you dare to hit me?"

Blood trickled down the corner of Sun Zhangshan’s mouth. His eyes filled with rage as he glared at Chu Yu.

"Shut up!"

Chu Yu immediately rebutted, his expression icy, "Ever since I have come to the school, you have tried to make life difficult for me and find fault with me. Do you think I am scared of you just because I didn’t lower myself to your level? I actually planned to just ignore you, but you weren’t done. Isn’t this whole incident with the Wafting Fragrance School orchestrated by you? Idiot!"

　　

Gasp!

The entire arena exploded in chatter, many students were aghast and could not believe what the had just heard.

"How could this possibly happen?"

"Vice Principal Sun Zhangshan is part of the Purple Cloud leadership! What does he gain by doing this?"

"But looking at Sensei Song’s tone and attitude, he clearly has evidence to prove his point."

"In the beginning, the Principal seemed to have raged at Sun Zhangshan…"

"Did he really bring these people here? What a treacherous person! It’s a good thing Sensei Song is powerful!"

Everyone broke out in chatter as they looked at Sun Zhangshan with suspicion.

"Slander!" Sun Zhangshan was furious, " As Vice Principal of the Purple Cloud School, why would I do such a thing? Song Hong, I admit that I doubted your abilities when you frist arrived. However, when I tried to apologize to you, you humiliated me this way, I…"

"Shut up!"

Chu Yu bellowed, then looked icily at him, "Do you want to see the evidence?"

The entire arena went silent. Even the Principal looked at Chu Yu with surprise, How can you have evidence if I don’t have? Would Sun Zhangshan leave behind evidence of his wrongdoing?

Sun Zhangshan laughed icily, "Sensei Song, please show us your evidence!"

Then, he sneered, "If you can’t, then I’m sorry… I can forget about the fact that you just slapped me. But the Purple Cloud would never keep someone like you, no matter how talented or capable you are! Scram if you don’t have any evidence!"

Sun Zhangshan was extremely confident, rage burning in his heart. If not for the fact that he had other motives, he would have murdered Chu Yu.

Even now, he had only planned on letting Chu Yu off for the time being.

When the dust settles, I’ll make sure you beg for death!

Sun Zhangshan thought to himself as he tried to swallow this humiliation.

"You want evidence huh?" Chu Yu laughed icily, "You are a very careful person. Especially in this case, when you are trying to sell out the Purple Cloud and pin it on the Principal, you took and especially large number of detours."

Sun Zhangshan chuckled, "Rubbish! Can you put more thought into it if you want to slander me?"

In his heart, however, he was shocked, How did Song Hong know so much about him?

No matter how hard he contemplated, he could not figure out where the leak originated.

The Principal and the rest of the leaders also looked at Chu Yu apprehensively.

The things that they knew far exceeded those of the ordinary populace.

According to some leads, they had already guessed that this was related to Sun Zhangshan.

But in the end, they still required evidence to prove it.

Coming to a conclusion based on your gut is generally acceptable, but with an accusation as serious as this, punishment without evidence would set tongues wagging.

The 12 girls glared at Sun Zhangshan.

Sun Zhangshan was immensely calm, "Cut the crap, get me the evidence, else, scram! Do you think that any piece of scum off the street can become the Vice Principal of the Purple Cloud?"

His voice was filled with confidence.

Chu Yu smiled, "People like you don’t trust others. With a plot as large as this, you knew that a single leak could cripple your whole plot. As such, you were afraid that they would sell you out! Everytime when you contacted those people, you would record them with a memory crystal, and after the dust settled, you would hide the crystal someplace. Of course, you also kept many other disgusting things that you did there. Sun Zhangshan you piece of trash, kneel!" noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Chu Yu continued to bellow!

His voice was like thunder!

　

Sun Zhangshan was stunned and he felt a shiver down his spine!

Then, he laughed, "Song Hong ah Song Hong, I didn’t know that you were just as good at lying as you are at pill refining! Even I nearly bought your story!"

His gaze swept over everyone present, "I am sure that everyone is clear on what kind of person I, Sun Zhangshan, am! Would I do such a thing? What a joke? I didn’t think that people nowadays are so good at concocting stories, I give him full marks!"

As he spoke, he glared at Chu Yu, his Supreme Realm aura exploding out of his body!

This was a cultivator at the Pinnacle of the Supreme Realm!

He looked coldly at Chu Yu, "Where is your evidence? If you slander me without evidence, not only will I kick you out of the school, I will kill you now! I’ll like to see who would stop me?"

Chu Yu sighed, "Do you know why I haven’t brought out the evidence?"

Sun Zhangshan looked at him icily.

The Principal could not believe what he was hearing.

Everyone from the Purple Cloud held their breath in anticipation.

Sun Zhangshan laughed coldly, "Because you don’t have it! This is slander!"

"Firstly, I must admit that the vault where you kept the memory crystals was not easy to open and require some thought; more importantly, I would like you to explain something else. This way, when I embarrass you later, it would be more painful." Chu Yu said flatly.

Sun Zhangshan’s expression changed greatly!

If Song Hong knew that these crystals were kept in a vault, this man clearly knew a lot about him!

He panicked instantly, there were many things kept in the vault.

He did not care much about the fortune inside, after all, he could earn them back.

But there was lethal evidence kept inside!

Forget about the ancient history, but in recent times, it recorded the entire chain of evidence implicating him in the Wafting Fragrance School’s arrival.

There was also incriminating evidence against him and some others in the Purple Cloud School leadership.

If these were brought to light, he would be executed beyond doubt!

No one would let him off!

Even with a powerful family backing him, his life would not be spared!

"Scum, go to hell!"

Sun Zhangshan was ashamed and angry, he wanted to kill Chu Yu off!

He did not know if the evidence was with Song Hong, but killing him would suppress the incident for now!

"How dare you!"

The Principal of the Purple Cloud bellowed, "Stop right there!"

"This man slandered a Vice Principal of the Purple Cloud School, he deserves to die!" In that moment, Sun Zhangshan lunged at Chu Yu.

His hatred for Song Hong made him not hold any punches.

　　

Boom!

He fired a slap straight at Chu Yu.

He wanted to get back at Chu Yu for the slap first.

The entire crowd erupted.

None of them were fools, who couldn’t see that Sun Zhangshan was trying to silence Song hong.

The princes and princesses raged and rushed towards the stage.

As for Liu Yuyan, she had rushed down the moment Sun Zhangshan began to move.

However, Sun Zhangshan was too quick, and too close to Chu Yu!

Even the Principal had no time to react, he could only watch Sun Zhangshan’s palm fly towards Chu Yu’s face.

His slap contained a terrifying amount of energy. If it landed, not only would Chu Yu get a mark on his face, half his brain… would be gone!

In the moment Sun Zhangshan moved, Chu Yu reacted.

A large amount of energy exploded from his vertical eye and formed a shield. Immediately after, Chu Yu used the Racing Sacred Art and charged at Sun Zhangshan.

It looked like he was going straight for his chest.

Sun Zhangshan’s palm impacted Chu Yu’s shield. With a bang, his palm was deflected by the energy shield.

The power from that deflection caused Sun Zhangshan’s arm to go numb.

As for Chu Yu, he was already in front of Sun Zhangshan. He balled up his fist and punched at Sun Zhangshan’s chest.

Then, he bent his legs and used his incredibly tough knee to viciously attack Sun Zhangshan’s private parts...

"So what if you’re in the Supreme Realm?" Chu Yu mocked as he exuded a wave of mental energy.

Kacha!

Sun Zhangshan’s Supreme Realm flesh and bones broke. As for what was below his waist… it was likely gone.

"Ow!"

Sun Zhangshan let out an inhuman scream as he was sent flying.

He landed off the stage, curled in a foetal position, blood trickling from his mouth as he howled.

Only then did the Principal and the rest of the Purple Cloud leadership arrive.

Liu Yuyan arrived next to Chu Yu and asked caringly, "Are you okay?"

Chu Yu nodded, "I’m fine!"

The others in the royal family arrived shortly after.

The entire arena erupted once again.

The Principal of the Purple Cloud ordered icily, "Arrest Sun Zhangshan immediately!"

At the same time, he looked at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu nodded at him.

There was no backing out from this. If Chu Yu did not have any evidence, this would set many tongues wagging.

Even though Chu Yu had just beaten the Wafting Fragrance School and gained great honor for the school, if he had such a clash with a Vice Principal without evidence, even the Purple Cloud Constabulary would not be able to suppress it.

However, in comparison, others were more shocked about something else.

"Isn’t Sensei Song a pill refining expert? He can refine pills so great that even people from the Wafting Fragrance School have to revere."

How is he also a battle expert?

Not only was he great in battle, he had to overcome overwhelming odds. Vice Principal Sun is a whole cultivation level above him!

How scary!

A King’s Realm cultivator managed to cripple a youth at the peak of the Supreme Realm in the blink of an eye...

The first slap may have been a sneak attack, but the battle that just unfolded was started by Sun Zhangshan!

Yet he was utterly defeated

He nearly even died on the spot!

Even now, in his current state -

Everyone winced at the thought of how his genitals must be like now.

Limitless - Chapter 189: 100,000 Top Quality Spiritual Stones

All of their eyes were glued on the lady’s expression on the screen.

The traces of awe were clearly the result of her trying to control her emotions but to no avail.

The picture on the screen was too clear, even the pores on the lady’s face could be seen clearly!

Her white and exquisite face began to twitch unconsciously as her lips trembled.

Her hands were also shivering slightly and her eyes turned red. A crystal mist began to form in her eyes.

"In this world… pills which have completely sealed all the medicinal properties within, do exist…"

The lady murmured to herself. In that moment, these ugly pills became the most perfect pills in her eyes!

Their shape… was a little awkward, but upon closer inspection, these pills were engraved extremely intricately, more beautiful than any painting in this world.

Who said that pills must be circular?

When the lady thought of what Chu Yu said, she could not help but laugh bitterly.

Indeed, who had set such a rule?

When she thought about how she had pursued perfection in her pills’ appearance previously, she could not help but feel extremely immature.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. In the end, she walked to Chu Yu and bowed deeply.

"Sensei Song, Yue Xiu was unable to see the power of what you did, please forgive me."

This was the first time the lady had revealed her name. Previously, she was too arrogant and didn’t think that she would have anymore interactions with these people.

Even though she had utterly lost the pill refining competition, the pride in her bones was not even shaved by half.

She had thought that she had lost because she was being played. She had challenged them at what they were best at.

However, in the deep sea, the dragon reigned supreme!

In the highest mountains, the tiger was still king!

So what if they lost? So what if she would be punished when she returned?

She was still a teacher in the reputable Wafting Fragrance School, and her status was far higher than most people.

Many of these people would not even reach my standing in their entire lives whilst I… will only go higher.

Now, her arrogance and confidence disappeared in front of this man.

At this point, the arena was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Even the Principal of the Purple Cloud School looked at Chu Yu, speechless.

Everyone was wondering, Is that incredibly ugly batch of pills really superior pills?

Could it be that this sensei from the Pill Refining Section really had such terrifying abilities? So much so that even the Wafting Fragrance School had to bend over backwards for him?

"Now, do you want to buy it?" Chu Yu looked at the lady, "How about this, since you provided the ingredients, you can take half of it, the rest will be mine. How about that?"

"How can that be right?" The attractive lady shook her head, "Sensei, you are a Guru, I had overestimated my own abilities and I can’t get over it. Preparing the ingredients for pill refining is a rule in the cultivation world. As such, I can’t take away half, and I must compensate you fairly for what I do take."

As Yue Xiu spoke, she retrieved a storage ring and presented it to Chu Yu with both hands, "Inside are 100,000 top quality spiritual stones. I will use this to buy the three pills. Of course, for such quality, this is not sufficient. I will get someone to send you the rest of your payment when I return."　　

Hiss!

.

Yue Xiu said this for all to hear, and her serious expression could be seen by all.

She had provided the ingredients, yet even 100,000 top quality spiritual stones were insufficient to buy three pills!

100,000 top quality spiritual stones was a fortune!

Even the Purple Cloud School Principal, with all his years at the helm of the school, was unable to produce 100,000 top quality spiritual stones.

Spiritual stones were split into four grades, low quality, mediocre quality, top quality, and best quality.

100 low quality spiritual stones contained energy equivalent to one mediocre quality spiritual stone; 100 mediocre quality spiritual stones contained energy equivalent to one top quality spiritual stone.

As for the difference between a top quality spiritual stone and the best quality spiritual stone, that disparity was even larger. 1000 top quality spiritual stones equated to about one best quality spiritual stone.

With 100,000 top quality spiritual stones, Chu Yu could exchange them for 100 best quality spiritual stones!

However, if he changed them for the ordinary low quality spiritual stones used by cultivators, one top quality spiritual stone could exchange for 10000 low quality ones.

With 100,000 on hand, wasn’t that an astronomically high number?

Yet, such a fortune was still insufficient according to what the lady had said!

The attractive lady continued, "Ordinarily, these three pills will fetch over 300,000 top quality spiritual stones at an auction. Due to their superior quality, they could be worth even more."

Her gaze swept over the entire arena and she said flatly, "This is because a single pill equates to one Divine Lord! Is one Divine Lord not worth 100,000 top quality spiritual stones?"

Worth it, of course it was worth it!

Even if it required 1 million top quality spiritual stones… it would still be worth it!

Without even considering the immense jump in power between the True Lord and Divine Lord realms, the fortune a Divine Lord could amass… was many times more!

A powerful cultivator could amass a fortune over the years.

Chu Yu took the storage ring and winced in his heart.

These people are really not easy!

News that he had such a fortune on him would spread quickly.

People are greedy by nature… he knew that many people would be jealous and tempted by his wealth of spirit stones.

Then, they would take a look at his cultivation level. He was just a King’s Realm cultivator.

Even without considering those in the True Lord Realm, even a Supreme Realm cultivator would think that he was an easy picking.

This fortune was like a hot potato.

Once you had it in your hands, countless eyes will be on you.

However, even if he didn’t accept it, he would be wanted for his abilities.

As such, Yue Xiu’s actions were clearly a set up, a huge set up to harm Chu Yu.

At this point, Yue Xiu used the Voice Transmission Technique, "Sensei can keep this fortune in various vaults. Also, if you ever have any problems, you can find me, my contact is…"

After she finished, Yue Xiu continued, "The Purple Cloud School is too small. With your ability, you should not be contained here. If you are willing, the Wafting Fragrance School welcomes you anytime!"

At this point, Chu Yu finally understood why she gave him the 100,000 spiritual stones.

She wanted him to give up staying here!

"It’s okay, we are still enemies after all." Chu Yu replied using the Voice Transmission Technique as he retrieved another two pills and handed them over.

"We were before, now we are not." Yue Xiu looked deeply into Chu Yu’s eyes, kept the three True Soul Pills and said her goodbye.

She didn’t even bother greeting the Principal of the Purple Cloud School.

The Wafting Fragrance School left in a hurry. The three True Soul Pills were the key to three of their True Lords attaining the Divine Lord Realm.

　

With such stakes, they did not want to risk news of this leaking out and they headed back home as fast as they could.

As for the nine remaining True Soul Pills in Chu Yu’s furnace… those were his problem!

In Yue Xiu’s opinion, the Purple Cloud School had no way of protecting a pill refiner of Song Hong’s calibre. However, she was not certain that Song Hong would join the Wafting Fragrance School even if he left the Purple Cloud.

Afterall, many of the events today would be leaked out. Once they spread, many of the top schools would show interest in Song Hong.

If they didn’t recruit pill refiners of such calibre, who would they recruit?

This was why she wanted to return home quickly. Firstly, she hoped that Song Hong could feel the pressure of being watched. Secondly, she wanted to communicate his talent to her leadership and have them poach him over with an irresistible offer!

As for revenge… ever since she saw the memory crystal given to her by Song Binbin, her love for Lu Tianxiang, as well as her will for revenge… diminished greatly.

Now that she found out that Chu Yu was a pill refiner capable of refining True Soul Pills, the notion was completely destroyed.

She was not cold blooded, if she was, she would not have tried to take revenge for her fiance.

However, Lu Tianxiang had disappointed her!

She had never stopped him from finding other ladies, but he had done so behind her back. Furthermore, he had spoken ill of her in front of the other lady… this was too heart wrenching.

The Wafting Cloud School arrived with their heads held high but left dejected.

This made the Purple Cloud School teachers and students immensely happy. They had never been so proud.

At this point, Vice Principal Sun Zhangshan stepped out and said, "Thank you Sensei Song for winning this great honor for us. This is a momentous step for our school. With such a talent, why do we still have to worry about our Pill Refining Section?"

Then, ignoring what the others thought, he walked to Chu Yu and bowed, "Previously, because I did not understand you well enough, I have offended you many times, I hope you do not blame me."

For Sun Zhangshan, apologizing and keeping his head low was his best choice now!

Anyways, many of his things could not be proven. As long as he could tide over this current stage, the future… could be planned!

Now, Song Hong had a fortune in spiritual stones, and nine True Soul Pills!

As long as news of this leaked out, there would definitely be more people wanting his head than wanting his pill refining skills!

A gentleman is able to accept humiliation for a greater cause. After this blows over… wait and see how I deal with you!

Liu Yuyan and the royal family continued to be immensely excited by the result.

Some of the princes were saying that countless people in the royal family would be kicking themselves for missing out such a good show.

After hearing what Sun Zhangshan said, their smiles froze and they all looked at Liu Yuyan.

Liu Yuyan frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"This young man has been pursuing you for so long, has he changed?" Princess Song Yu smiled, "Does he dare say this wasn’t orchestrated by him?"

There were many smart people around. When the Purple Cloud School Principal had targeted Sun Zhangshan, many already guessed what was going on.

However, no one expected Sun Zhangshan to be so shameless as to be the first one to congratulate Song Hong.

It is said that one should not penalize someone who realizes their mistake. If Song Hong accepts his apology… then even if the Principal wanted to deal with him, the Principal will have to reconsider.

After Liu Yuyan found out that the presence of the Wafting Fragrance School was orchestrated by Sun Zhangshan, her hate for him reached a maximum.

Seeing how shameless he was meant that her impression of him reached an abyssal low.

However, Chu Yu took one look at the apologetic Sun Zhangshan and chuckled. Then, he raised his hand, used the Racing Sacred Art, and slapped him viciously in the face!

　　

Pa!

A crisp sound echoed out, stunning the arena.

Limitless - Chapter 188: Is this even a Pill?

At this point, Chu Yu’s ability to control the fire had reached a level that was unattainable, and even incomprehensible for an ordinary pill refiner.

Chu Yu harnessed all his concentration. His edged, handsome yet animalistic face was respectful. His arms were well toned and his long silky hair rested on his shoulders.

He wore a green robe and looked like a god amongst men.

Everyone on scene went silent. They unconsciously held their breath as they stared at Chu Yu, unblinking.

The Magma Fire burned brightly one moment, engulfing the entire Immortal Crane Pill Furnace; the next moment, it was gentle as a candle, almost as if it could be extinguished any moment.

Their hearts were in their mouths.

In the end, Chu Yu used a raging fire and engulfed the entire Immortal Crane Pill Furnace.

That ancient furnace burnt bright red, almost like the sun!

The high temperature could be felt from a distance.

Even the attractive lady could not help but retreat a couple of steps.

Only Chu Yu stood in front of the furnace, unmoving, like a statue.

Pill refining… is not an easy profession!

Many people felt this way in that instant.

Chu Yu opened his vertical eye and constantly observed what was going on inside the furnace.

If he was already at the level of Pill Guru, then he would not need his vertical eye to understand every minute detail within the furnace.

However, he still had a long way to go before he could reach that level!

If not for the fact that he learnt a saint’s technique, there was no way he could refine the True Soul Pill.

From afar, the attractive lady looked on with glimmering eyes.

She smiled bitterly, she would have never thought that she would pin her last hope on her enemy.

Now she could not pinpoint her feelings towards Sensei Song. Did she hate him? It didn’t seem to be as strong. But, she still hated him… afterall, he had killed her fiance!

But now, she had a request for him and hoped he would succeed.

Else, she would return home, completely defeated, unable to take revenge, and utterly embarrassed.

He must succeed, or I would be dead!

Ever since she saw the scene in the memory crystal given to her by Song Binbin, her feelings about Lu Tianxiang had become a question mark.

　

She still had a shred of obsessiveness, after all, they had formed many good memories together.

But that was it.

Avenge him?

Forget it!

He had told her that she was the only one for him, yet he kissed and hugged girls behind her back.

The conversation between the two of them, recorded on the memory crystal, was even more disgusting.

If Lu Tianxiang was still alive, she would definitely call of the wedding and give him two tight slaps!

But… he was dead!

As his fiancee, she had to make this trip down.

She had wanted to avenge him before, but now… it was just a show.

The attractive girl sighed, feeling that she was quite the fool.

So naive it was almost funny!

Chu Yu had already reached the final stage of the refining process. He controlled the Magma Fire extremely precisely as he put the final touches on the pills.

In the end, these pills were a success!

By this point, Chu Yu was drenched in sweat!

From the spectator stand, Princess Song Yu smiled at Liu Yuyan, "This is the time when you go wipe his sweat for him."

"Go to hell!" Liu Yuyan retorted, clearly shy, but her eyes revealed that she was contemplating the suggestion.

In the end, she could not find the courage to do it.

Kaboom!

A large wave of energy crashed into the lid of Chu Yu’s pill furnace.

It was almost as if a mine was set off from within the pill furnace.

Chu Yu calmed himself down and sealed the pill furnace.

He had already expected the pills to have a Pill Spirit, and the Pill Spirit would attempt to escape.

　

As such, the moment the pill formed, he had already sealed the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace!

Chu Yu sighed lightly in his heart. He was not a pill saint and could not form a magical formation during the process of refining the pill and seal the Pill Spirit inside.

That technique really went against the will of heaven!

What he did not know was that the attractive lady was already awestruck by his skill.

The attractive lady had seen Pill Gurus in action before, and their techniques were beyond comprehension.

When a pill formed with a Guru refining it, there would be some quirky occurrences.

However, she had never seen something like this… a loud boom from within the furnace!

She suddenly thought of something and was dumbstruck: Heavenly Thief!

It was said that when some of the best pills were formed, a Heavenly Thief would descend inside the furnace to destroy these pills due to the fact that they were against Heaven’s Will.

Could it be that… Sensei Song’s pills were already that superior?

The attractive lady had her heart in her chest already, but at this point, it was in her mouth… she was about to spit it out!

This was too shocking!

Need it be so heart stopping?

Even though the True Soul Pill was one of the most superior pill… it was definitely not the most superior pill.

If even a True Soul Pill could result in such a huge commotion, all she could hope for is that the pills were not destroyed by the Heavenly Thief.

The attractive lady felt immense pressure.

Chu Yu did not expect such a thing to happen either, and he could feel the excitement in the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace.

It had been dormant for over 60 million years and had not refined such a superior pill in a long time. For a pill furnace with a spirit, this was definitely quite torturous.

Now that it had an opportunity to refine a superior pill, the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace was not going to let it go.

The furnace was like a war hardened general confined to a lackadaisical lifestyle. In the moment he picked up his spear and rode his horse into battle once more, his blood would pump through his veins and he would feel incredibly energized!

And even use too much power!

　

In this instance, the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace seemed to have used all of its power!

This was a furnace used by a saint and it had been used to refine countless legendary medicine.

When it brought its full power to bear, Chu Yu’s pill refining process became much more efficient. Else, the True Soul Pill was not so easy to refine successfully.

In the end, because the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace was too excited, the Heavenly Thief paid them a visit.

It was a good thing that the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace was powerful enough to form an energy barrier which blocked the Heavenly Thief.

Chu Yu had seen all of this unfold.

Then, the pill furnace went silent. Chu Yu retrieved his Magma Fire and let out a long sigh.

He nodded at the lady, "It’s done."

"Really… it’s done?" At this point, the lady was already sick with worry.

She looked at Chu Yu with apprehension.

Chu Yu nodded again, "Open it yourself."

The attractive lady took a deep breath. Success or failure lay just an action away. She walked over and lifted the lid.

Then she was stunned.

There was no spiritual energy, and it was a mess, with over 10 pills.

The shapes… were weird and indescribable!

There were triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons. The surface was rough. Upon closer inspection, whilst there were some engravings on the surface on the pills… what in the world were these?

The lady turned and her lips twitched. She looked at Chu Yu, "Sensei Song… are you sure that these… are pills?"

Chu Yu’s mouth twitched, "What else can they be?"

"Pills… are round!" The lady did not know what to think. She was extremely hurt, complex feelings overwhelming her.

　

She felt like she was set up, she was dead meat this time!

"Who says so?" Chu Yu said righteously, "Tell me, and I will smack him! Who told you that pills must be round? Then, tell me, what are pills used for?"

Whilst they bickered, the 12 girls could not help but take a peak.

"Wa!" Yuwen Xiaoxiao was stunned.

"Ya!" Bi Yueyue was shocked.

"Oh god!" Wang Yan was speechless.

"Oh." Ning Ling was dumbfounded.

"Hm?" Fang Xue looked at the pills suspiciously.

All in all, the 12 girls did not know how to feel after seeing those pills.

After a while, even Yan Xiaoyu and Song Binbin could not resist the temptation to take a peek.

The two of them were instantly stunned. They thought to themselves, Is it too late to beg for forgiveness… and return to the Wafting Fragrance School?

What the f*ck was this?

No one could tell what it was…

There was no aroma of medicine, no spiritual energy. The key here was… it was too ugly!

Extremely ugly!

And to think the lady had trusted Old Song this much.

No wonder Old Song never refined pills.

HAHAHAHA!

Old Song had successfully set up his enemy! He used up all of their superior medicine and refined a bunch of ugly pills!

When the 12 of them recovered from their shock, they all wanted to burst out in laughter, but they suppressed it. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

　

They didn’t care about anything else, but they wanted to leave Old Song with some dignity.

After three months studying under him, even if Chu Yu did not have any Pill Refining Skills, they would still willingly follow him.

Until now, these girls did not even care if Old Song actually knew how to refine pills or not.

The lady looked at Chu Yu, stunned. In the end, she sighed and prepared to leave.

She was prepared to accept her fate!

At this point, the Principal walked over to take a look. His face twitched, and then he looked to the sky, not wanting to say anything.

Chu Yu looked at the back of the attractive lady and used the Voice Transmission Technique, "Why, do you not want to buy… a truly superior True Soul Pill?"

The lady jerked her head backwards, and glared at Chu Yu, "This… is a truly superior… True Soul Pill?"

Chu Yu nodded, "Of course, if you don’t believe me, pick one up and analyse it for yourself. If you still can’t see it, then please leave."

The lady was stunned. She turned back and took out a single pill expressionlessly as she examined it.

At this point, with the screen in mid-air, everyone could see the shape of this pill.

The entire arena went silent, then… erupted into chatter.

"My god… is that a pill?"

"What the hell? Why is it so ugly?"

"F*ck me… it’s incredibly ugly!"

All of the Purple Cloud School teachers and students, including those from the Wafting Fragrance School were left stunned by what they saw.

Yet, on the screen, the lady’s expression slowly changed from one of fury, to calm… and then, it became stern.

On the high definition screen, they could all see traces of awe come over the lady’s face.

Each and every minor change in her expression was clear for all to see.

The crowd slowly returned to silence.
