In the Jin Nation Academy’s combat arena.
Thousands of people gathered there.
It looked extremely grand.
One by one, the newly matriculated disciples of the fifth generation looked at Ye Ping and Mo Xuan who were in the combat arena.
In their eyes, it wouldn’t be long before Ye Ping and Mo Xuan collapsed onto the ground.
Although they were a bit repulsed by the rules that the newly matriculated students of Jin Nation Academy were subjected to, most of the cultivators were still gloating after all.
Since they had been beaten up, they naturally wanted to see others getting hit too. Otherwise, they would find it unjust.
At this moment, Li Yan interjected, “Ye Ping, Mo Xuan!”
As Li Yan’s voice sounded, the two of them unanimously looked at him.
Everyone was astonished.
“Ye Ping?”
“What’s his name?”
“Ye Ping? Do you mean Ye Ping from Qingzhou?”
“Is he that nephew of the Qingzhou Ancient City Lord?”
“Is he that Ye Ping?”
“Ye Ping’s name sounds so familiar, but I just can’t remember who he is now.”
“Is he the person Senior Brother Fang Lei mentioned?”
“Oh, oh, oh, I remember now.”
The people started discussing again and Li Yan looked over, only to see that everyone had suddenly fallen silent.
They didn’t dare to continue the discussion for fear of getting into trouble.
After the crowd had completely quieted down, Ye Ping and Mo Xuan spoke up.
“We’re here.”
Both of them spoke in unison and looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan continued to speak.
“The two of you are cultivators who have been specially recruited by the academy. Although I don’t know how you managed to enter, there are rules in the academy that you have to follow.”
“Next, we, your Senior Brothers of the fourth generation will have a friendly match with you. Let me brief you on the rules before that. Do not strike any fatal moves and you are not allowed to rip each other’s clothes either. Do you understand?”
Li Yan repeated the things that he said that day.
After hearing that, Mo Xuan spoke up.
“Can I surrender?”
Mo Xuan did not have any backbone at all and decided to surrender before anything else.
However, her words made many of them burst into laughter.
“No!”
Li Yan answered straightforwardly.
However, after some thought, he added, “However, since there are two of you, we can go easy.”
After all, since there were only two of them, Li Yan couldn’t let everyone attack together. Otherwise, they would be bullying them.
Of course, he was just making a casual remark by saying that they would go easy on the two of them. No matter what, Ye Ping and Mo Xuan would not escape the beating.
Mo Xuan’s face became sullen. She wanted to cry but was unable to.
As for Ye Ping, his expression had been very calm.
Even he was ready to fight.
“Do you guys have any more questions?”
“If not, we can begin now.”
Li Yan looked at the two people and continued to ask.
As soon as he said that, the fourth generation disciples began warming up one after another with joy in their eyes that they could not conceal.
At this moment, Ye Ping’s voice sounded.
His gaze was calm and he looked at Li Yan.
“What if we end up hurting someone accidentally?”
Ye Ping asked.
The reason being, he had carefully surveyed the cultivation level of the fourth generation disciples and learned that they were basically all at the Foundation Establishment realm. Although they were full of vigor and energy, they were inferior to him.
Besides, Ye Ping did not feel that the cultivators of the Jin Nation Academy were very strong.
If it were not for the Jin Nation Academy’s supreme sword intent, Ye Ping would not have gone to the Jin Nation Academy at all.
He was not looking down on this group of people, but rather, the difference in their strength made Ye Ping feel worried that he might hurt them, instead of the other way around.
After he said that, everyone burst into laughter.
Even Xu Chao and the others couldn’t help but laugh.
No one would have expected that Ye Ping would actually dare to say such a thing.
They could also see that Ye Ping’s realm was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
All the fourth generation disciples were at least in the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm and some were even cultivators who had perfected the Foundation Establishment realm.
Even if one was a genius, it would be no big deal to defeat one of them.
However, there were more than 400 Foundation Establishment realm cultivators. How many could he beat?
‘You want to hurt us?’
‘You should count yourself lucky if we don’t hurt you.”
“As long as you don’t beat them up to death or cripple them, it won’t matter. There are fifth-rank apothecaries in the academy who can heal those who are injured as long as the wounds are not fatal. You don’t need to worry about that.”
Li Yan did not laugh and instead seemed extremely stern. However, it was not that he thought that Ye Ping was very strong, but rather, he wanted to assert dominance. If he laughed easily, it would seem like he wasn’t impressive enough.
“It’s not that I want to hurt others, it’s just that since we have to fight, we have to put in all our effort and do our best. I’m just scared I may not be able to control myself.”
Ye Ping continued.
He was very serious and was afraid that he might get into trouble for hurting others.
However, in the eyes of the crowd, he was just bragging.
“Wow, this person is pretty arrogant.”
“I guess he’s afraid and is deliberately stalling for time.”
“I think so too.”
“This guy has so much crap to say, I must teach him a lesson later.”
Everyone was discussing.
Some of the fifth generation disciples spoke up too.
“Senior Sister Li, is this the expert your brother invited? He looks handsome and speaks arrogantly, but he somehow seems less competent than he makes himself out to be.”
“Yes, I’d believe it if he said that he’s a scholar and a prodigy in poetry, but I don’t think he can fight well.”
The few of them discussed and couldn’t help but look at Princess Taihe.
“Just watch quietly, don’t make a sound lest you attract attention.”
Among the crowd, Princess Taihe was at a loss for words because she did not know about his strength. Hence, she could only brush them off.
In the combat arena, Li Yan could not help but frown.
‘This kid is being too pretentious.’
However, he still answered.
“If you have what it takes, just fight.”
Ye Ping couldn’t help but ask again,
“I have one more question.”
This time, the crowd couldn’t help but frown.
‘Why does he have so much crap to say?’
‘Is he going to fight or not?’
“Is it true that I can advance if I beat everyone?”
Ye Ping glanced at the people and asked with some doubts.
Li Yan was speechless.
Xu Chao too.
Everyone was speechless.
If Ye Ping’s previous words were pretentious, he was now going overboard with the pretense.
“Fight!”
Li Yan did not waste any more time. In his opinion, Ye Ping was just deliberately stalling for time, and thus, with that thought, he instructed everyone to attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As Li Yan’s voice sounded, the fourth generation disciples jumped onto the battlefield at this moment.
The hundreds of people surrounded Ye Ping.
Seeing this, Mo Xuan was frightened and she turned pale.
On the other hand, Ye Ping’s expression remained unchanged throughout.
After all, in Ye Ping’s opinion, the Jin Nation Academy was a completely different concept compared to his own hidden sect.
“Kid, you shouldn’t have come to the Jin Nation Academy. This is not the place for you.”
“You’re too arrogant, the Jin Nation Academy doesn’t like arrogant people.”
“It’s okay to be arrogant, but you must have what it takes to be arrogant. If you concede defeat now, we can go easy on you.”
The group of fourth generation disciples surrounded Ye Ping and the hundreds of people blocked him. Once the fight started, Ye Ping wouldn’t be able to escape at all.
“I concede, I concede!”
Mo Xuan’s voice sounded and she immediately conceded defeat. She was very straightforward and didn’t have any concern for her pride.
However, Ye Ping struck at this moment.
Roar!
A dragon roar filled the air.
It was loud and clear, and everyone in the combat arena could hear it clearly.
In the next moment, Ye Ping turned into a lightning bolt and struck the Ancient True Dragon Fist.
Boom!
A fourth generation disciple was sent flying like a kite with a broken string and even crashed into the fence.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
No one could have expected that Ye Ping would actually dare to make the first move, and even really send a fourth generation Senior Brother flying away with a single punch.
“Strike, don’t give him a chance.”
“Don’t let him off.”
“Kid, how dare you launch a sneak attack?”
“It seems you really don’t take us, your Senior Brothers, seriously, huh?”
“Fight!”
In just a moment, the group of fourth generation disciples screamed.
Boom!
In an instant, all kinds of fist techniques were thrown. The dragon roar made the place quake and the hundreds of people attacked.
Getting defeated by a newly matriculated disciple was the greatest shame of their life, so they naturally couldn’t tolerate it.
They put all their fist techniques to use.
However, at this moment, Ye Ping clenched his fists and roared continuously like a dragon.
“Torch Dragon Ancient Seal.”
Without any nonsense, Ye Ping directly activated the Torch Dragon Immortal Aperture in his body, followed by the Torch Dragon Ancient Seal.
Hundreds of cultivators of the same realm were attacking, and even Ye Ping did not dare to be reckless.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He activated the Torch Dragon Ancient Seal.
Ye Ping immediately turned into a Godfiend with black hair and strong fists while black Dharmic powers engulfed his body.
His Confucian immortal aura instantly turned into the aura of a Godfiend.
Ye Ping struck with his fist menacingly, his eyes full of an ancient vibe. It was the Ancient True Dragon Fist.
The True Dragon fist techniques were executed entirely. Ye Ping was as quick as a bolt of lightning, and each punch of his sent a fourth generation disciple flying away.
The sound of vomiting blood, coughing blood, constantly resounded.
The entire combat arena was also completely torn apart.
In the combat arena, all the disciples looked dumbfounded, especially the newly matriculated disciples who didn’t expect Ye Ping to be that ruthless.
‘This is so damned absurd.’
Defeating one Senior Brother was not a glorious thing.
However, the problem was that he managed to defeat tens of Senior Brothers despite being besieged by hundreds of fourth generation Senior Brothers. That was rather outrageous.
Ye Ping took several punches to his body, but he wasn’t hurt at all. It was as if the punches had landed on a rock. Instead, their arms began to hurt.
They were hopeless and astonished.
“Gather and attack him altogether, fight with me.”
“Kill!”
“What kind of constitution does this guy have? What cultivation technique did he use? Why is his physical body so terrifying?”
“Damn, it’s indeed true that the specially recruited cultivators are all freaks.”
“Cut the crap, fight!”
In the combat arena, the only remaining fifty or so fourth generation disciples frantically bombarded Ye Ping in a frenzy.
After all, being defeated by a newly matriculated disciple would do great damage to their reputation as fourth generation disciples.
“Kill!”
However, at this moment, Ye Ping became even more aggressive and brave.
Like a Godfiend, his fists formed the True Qi of a dragon.
The dozens of people were blasted away, and one by one, their ribs were all broken, leaving them in a terrible state. Those who were stronger could still hold on for a while before passing out while the weaker ones simply blacked out.
“All fourth generation disciples, fight!”
In the combat arena, Li Yan’s face became extremely sullen.
He did not expect Ye Ping to be a freak whom the hundred fourth generation disciples could not beat.
However, Li Yan didn’t spout any nonsense and simply instructed everyone to fight together and defeat Ye Ping. They had to defeat him or else, their reputation would be marred.
As Li Yan’s voice sounded, more than 200 fourth generation disciples rushed up at this moment.
They also knew that if they couldn’t suppress Ye Ping, they would be embarrassed.
They would be humiliated and ashamed.
In fact, at this moment, Xu Chao couldn’t help but frown.
He came over because he wanted to gain some attention, but he didn’t expect that this would actually turn out this way.
“Senior Brother Xu, what should we do?”
Someone tried to ask Xu Chao what to do.
Xu Chao remained silent, but after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, “Go!”
Xu Chao decided that they had to step up.
In case Li Yan’s underlings couldn’t fight and they got defeated too, the word of the fourth generation of disciples of Jin Nation Academy failing to defeat the newly matriculated disciples would bring them shame.
It would be a disaster for them.
Hence, Xu Chao let them step up for the greater good!
They had to bite the bullet and do it.
“Kill!”
“Fight!”
“Senior Brothers, don’t hold back, go for it.”
In an instant, various people started shouting.
The entire combat arena suddenly became noisy.
After the fourth generation disciples stepped on the arena, Ye Ping became even more aggressive.
The Ancient True Dragon Fist seemed invincible and Ye Ping’s fists formed the dragon-shaped Qi. A golden dragon figure appeared and he managed to blast more than ten people away with a single punch.
However, there were clanging sounds of iron when their fists landed on Ye Ping’s body.
The scene made everyone present dumbfounded.
‘His physical body is too terrifying.’
‘If this is a normal cultivator, he ought to react in a siege of hundreds of people even if he doesn’t die, right?’
However, Ye Ping’s body was like a piece of divine iron as no one could shake him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dozens more figures flew across the arena and Ye Ping managed to punch all of them, sending them flying like a tyrant.
Every single fourth generation disciple who was blown away by Ye Ping started vomiting blood.
“Xu Chao!”
At this moment, Li Yan’s voice sounded in the combat arena.
He clenched his fist and shouted Xu Chao’s name.
The latter couldn’t help but look at Li Yan with apprehension in his eyes.
“Strike together and suppress him!”
Li Yan had an indifferent expression as he gazed coldly at Ye Ping on the battlefield.
Hearing these words, Xu Chao faintly froze.
He and Li Yan were the strongest existences among the fourth generation disciples. During such events, it was usually impossible for them to make a move. If they attacked, things would escalate to an uncontrollable extent.
Xu Chao hesitated silently because even if he won, it wouldn’t be a glorious victory.
However, at this moment, Li Yan’s voice sounded again.
“Xu Chao! If you don’t make a move, there will be more trouble!”
Li Yan looked at Xu Chao coldly.
The meaning of his words was simple.
If the two of them didn’t make a move, there would be trouble once all the fourth generation disciples lost.
Not to mention the entire Jin Nation, probably all the cultivators of the Ten Nations would know about it.
When that time came, they would become the joke of the Ten Nations.
Hence, Li Yan almost hollered.
“Go!”
Hearing Li Yan’s roar, Xu Chao gritted his teeth as he stepped out and joined the battle.
Li Yan did not waste any more time and entered the battlefield at the same time.
Boom!
All sorts of light converged, and in the middle of the battlefield, Ye Ping was like an unbeatable Godfiend as his fist techniques were just simply too horrifying. Being domineering and extremely fast, he avoided almost everyone’s attacks. But under the siege, he had taken some beatings.
However, in this situation, Ye Ping threw a punch and dozens more people were knocked away.
Each punch was accompanied by a dozen figures being blasted away.
The fifth generation disciples were completely dumbfounded.
They had only seen such scenes in their dreams.
They didn’t expect that a freak had really come to the Jin Nation Academy.
In particular, a small group of people in the corner was astonished.
“Senior Sister Li, the person your brother invited here is really ferocious.”
“Senior Sister Li, what kind of freak have you invited here?”
“He’s really outrageous.”
Shell-shocked, they swallowed their saliva.
Previously, they thought that the person Princess Taihe had invited might be strong, but they felt that it would be impossible for him to defeat all the fourth generation disciples.
However, they didn’t expect Ye Ping to be like a god of war who sent more than ten Senior Brothers flying at once.
That was extremely exaggerated.
Even Princess Taihe was a bit confused.
She also did not expect that her brother, who was not very reliable even in normal times, could really invite such a ferocious person.
‘This… is a little too exaggerated, isn’t it?’
Everyone was shocked.
They all looked astonished.
They knew that even if Ye Ping lost, this battle was definitely going to shock the entire Jin nation.
It was a battle between disciples of the same realm but he fought a hundred of them alone.
Who wouldn’t be shocked?
However, at this moment, Li Yan and Xu Chao had already joined the battlefield.
The aura of the two was very powerful. They were cultivators of the perfected Foundation Establishment realm and were powerhouses who practiced physical cultivation.
Although they were fourth generation disciples, their strength was not even weaker than some third-generation disciples.
The two of them were powerful and in fact, they could also fight a hundred people on their own.
Of course, they had never had any battle results, so no one knew how strong the two of them really were.
On the battlefield, more than 400 fourth generation disciples were sized down to less than a hundred.
They were all shocked and staring at Ye Ping, not daring to act rashly.
However, after Li Yan and Xu Chao went on the battlefield, they regained some confidence.
“You are very strong, I would like to honor you as the strongest of the five generations. But if this is all, you’re going to lose.”
When Li Yan stepped up, he did not attack directly and instead stared at Ye Ping before speaking up slowly.
He could sense Ye Ping’s current strength.
He was very powerful!
He was indeed very powerful!
He was in the early-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.
However, Li Yan knew that he was stronger.
If that was all Ye Ping had, he would lose.
“Even if you hide part of your strength, you will definitely be defeated once we join forces. However, your strength is beyond our expectations. Not bad.”
At this moment, Xu Chao spoke up.
He couldn’t help but praise Ye Ping.
Ye Ping was indeed very strong.
However, Xu Chao agreed with Li Yan.
If Ye Ping’s power was only that level, everything would be over for him.
As soon as they finished…
All of a sudden, a powerful aura emanated from Ye Ping’s body.
At this moment, Li Yan and Xu Chao’s expressions changed.
All the disciples were astonished.
‘He was really holding back?’
