"If you’re unconvinced, we can duel. As a man, you should solve problems like a man," faced with Lin Kewu’s anger, Linsan chose the most direct method. Qi Bing Academy does not allow private fights. However, if someone makes the first move, it’s a different story, especially if the person making the move is not from the Academy. Even if Lin Kewu were to be killed here, no one would say anything was done wrong. "Qingyi, you..." Suddenly, Wanyan’s voice came from behind, and Lin Kewu immediately turned back, just in time to see Wanyan break free from the grasp of a woman named Qingyi. Lin Kewu was delighted. Linsan and the others’ expressions suddenly stiffened. "What’s wrong?" Qingyi was a bit bewildered, not understanding why Wanyan, who always listened to her, was behaving this way, "Wanyan, I’m doing this for your own good. Look at those big figures, who among them befriends ordinary people?" However, the explanation was met with a strange look from Wanyan, as if Qingyi were some kind of alien. After a moment of silence, Wanyan began to speak, "Qingyi, I never expected you to say something . I remember when I first met you, you were willing to befriend anyone, regardless of who they were or what their status was. You treated them as if they were long-time close friends." Telling Lin Kewu not to waste her cultivation time is something she could say. Because Lin Kewu wouldn’t mind. Because she and Lin Kewu are friends. Moreover, she said it with no ulterior motives; she simply wanted to cultivate. But Qingyi’s words had a different taste. This made her reassess the woman, who had always been so kind to her, standing before her. Lin Kewu immediately picked up the conversation, "Wanyan, do you remember what my mother told us? You have to be careful of people because one day, in her eyes, you will also become that ’ordinary person,’ and then you’ll be abandoned." As he spoke, Lin Kewu grabbed Wanyan by the wrist and was about to leave. Qingyi’s expression immediately froze, about to get angry, but was pulled back by Linsan, who was beside her. "Wanyan, this is a misunderstanding. Qingyi didn’t mean it that way; she was just trying to say that birds of a feather flock together. You should understand what kind of people to befriend to get further ahead." Linsan quickly walked in front of the two, blocking Lin Kewu’s path, while simultaneously shoving Lin Kewu with one hand. Startled by the shove, Lin Kewu staggered back two steps before steadying himself. Lin Kewu immediately flew into a rage and charged forward. Right behind him, Akun and the others surrounded him, waiting for Lin Kewu to make a move, so they could all pounce on him. The purpose of their visit, called upon by Linsan, was to deal with Lin Kewu. Lin Kewu being unwilling to back down meant they would simply eliminate him. "Kewu, this is Qi Bing Academy." Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, Wanyan quickly stopped Lin Kewu. Lin Kewu was usually very amiable, but once angered, he could become quite reckless. This is Qi Bing Academy, not Bright Mirror Lake. If things got out of hand in a moment of impulse, the consequences would be unthinkable. "Yes, Wanyan is right, this is Qi Bing Academy. Kid, if you’re scared, hurry and get lost. Any one of us here could punch you to death." This was said by Akun. Akun understood that these words could not come from Linsan. Otherwise, it would give Wanyan a bad impression of Linsan, especially since Wanyan had just quarreled with Qingyi for Lin Kewu. It was enough to prove that Wanyan and Lin Kewu had a deep relationship at Bright Mirror Lake. "Kewu, let’s go. Didn’t you have something to say to me?" With that, Wanyan immediately pulled Lin Kewu away. Meanwhile, with her red lips slightly parted, she warned Lin Kewu not to speak any further. Otherwise, with his strength in the Body Refining Twelfth Layer, the consequences would undoubtedly be severe. This isn’t Bright Mirror Lake, and no one would give face to the Lin Family. However, Lin Kewu still spoke, his voice extremely cold, "Even all of you together don’t scare me." Upon hearing this, Wanyan’s expression changed. She silently thought it was troublesome. Linsan and the others, on the other hand, looked excited because they had been waiting for Lin Kewu’s retort. "Want to try the arena? If you don’t dare, then let it be. Next time, don’t let us see you in Qi Bing Academy, or we’ll hit you every time we see you, and I won’t even give Wanyan any face." The one who spoke was still Akun. At this moment, Lin Kewu ignored Wanyan’s pull, turned around, and coldly said, "Sure, but I don’t have much time to waste on you guys. All ten of you can come at once." He liked people who were stubborn to save face. That way, fighting felt satisfying. Qi Bing Academy Arena. Because it was Linsan and Akun’s group entering the arena, many students put down what they were doing and came over. Upon hearing that someone who wasn’t from Qi Bing Academy was challenging Linsan’s group of ten, they chose to give up their cultivation even more. "Is that the person challenging Linsan and his group?" "Can’t tell the Realm." "Look at his age, though. I heard he’s a friend of Wanyan and then with Linsan..." "Competing with Linsan over a woman and stubbornly insisting on facing Linsan’s group all at once, is this guy crazy?" Amid the discussion, Lin Kewu raised his hand to cover Wanyan’s mouth, which was about to dissuade him. He leaped into the arena. Amidst cheers, Linsan and his group also walked in, though most stood in the back, with only Akun leading at the front. It didn’t seem like a group ganging up on one person. "Kid, in the arena, for those not from the Academy, life and death are not considered. Even Wanyan doesn’t know this rule." Akun looked at Lin Kewu with a smug expression. "Come all at once. I have things to do!" The Sect Leader is only waiting for five days. Wasting even an hour now made him feel pained. "No need, to beat you, I’m enough alone." As soon as the words fell, the Vibrating Vein Sound was heard. A blue Meridian Gate was released at the left hand. "Lower Profound Realm?" Accompanied by his own mutter, Wanyan’s voice followed from behind, but at this moment, Lin Kewu pretended not to hear it. He then spoke, "With your temper, I thought it was the Upper Profound Realm." "At this point, still talking nonsense, I’ll make you..." He initially wanted to say he would make Lin Kewu pay with his life for stubbornly saving face, but suddenly saw a flame manifest in Lin Kewu’s hand. Akun exclaimed in surprise. Lin Kewu casually waved, and the flame suddenly flared up, immediately transforming into a thirty-foot-long fire serpent. Under the scorching heat, the fire serpent flicked its tongue. Suddenly, the fire serpent lunged. Akun quickly vibrated his Vein Gate, raising his hand to grip a spear formed by Vein Qi, but just as he was about to perform the follow-up action, the fire serpent was already upon him. At this point, he could hear the exclamations from behind, and he knew the terror of the fire serpent, but it was too late to dodge. The fire serpent exploded right in front of Akun. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
