Xuanwu War Sovereign

In the shadows, three venerable masters from All Stars Academy watched Ao Fang, who had been on the ground for some time, unable to get up. One of them spoke with a frown.

"Isn’t that little fellow being a bit too ruthless? Should we stop him?"

Another master shook his head. "These are the rules set by the Dean. As long as no one dies and no underhanded methods are used to damage a person’s foundation, it’s fine!"

The master who had spoken first said, somewhat displeased, "But is this really okay?"

The last master, a man with a jujube-red face, sneered. "What’s not to like? Our All Stars Academy is a place that produces experts. We cultivate the strong. These youths are like wolf pups; they grow up and sharpen their claws and fangs by fighting their peers. I’m sure the families who sent them here don’t want them to become so-called ’experts’ who are all talk!"

The first master to speak nodded. "You have a point. The path of a Martial Artist is filled with hardships and thorns. This is nothing but a minor scene in comparison."

"As long as that little fellow doesn’t use some technique to ruin the foundation of that little thing on the ground, or kill him, we don’t need to intervene."

The first master then shook his head. "But the disciples we raise this way will all be predatory beasts!"

The red-faced master sneered. "I would rather we cultivate predatory beasts that devour men without spitting out their bones than sheep that get devoured by them!"

Qin Feng lifted his foot and walked over to Ao Fang. He looked down at him as he was wracked with excruciating pain and convulsing violently.

"Call me Elder!"

"In your dreams! You’re a lowlife who stole the Elder’s position through despicable means! I will never yield to you!" Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ao Fang’s eyes turned crimson, his venomous hatred burning like a flame.

"Hopelessly stubborn." Qin Feng shook his head, then lifted his foot and stomped on Ao Fang’s face, grinding it into the mud with force.

A vicious glint flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. If not for the rules of All Stars Academy, he would have already crushed Ao Fang’s skull with his foot.

Seeing that Ao Fang remained obstinate, Qin Feng sighed, lowered his head, and spoke to him.

"Ao Fang, you keep saying I used despicable means. With which one of your eyes did you see me steal the Elder’s position? Are you genuinely stupid, or just pretending?"

Qin Feng sighed internally. ’To think this guy is a Prince from the Imperial Palace. It’s a miracle that such a self-righteous weirdo has managed to stay alive this long.’

In truth, Qin Feng was mistaken about Ao Fang. From a young age, Ao Fang had displayed extraordinary talent in the Martial Dao. He had been spoiled by several old eccentrics in the Violet Kingdom’s Royal Family, which was how he developed his proud, arrogant, and self-righteous personality.

Coming to All Stars Academy was this Prince’s first time traveling far from home.

"How is it not theft? You’re clearly only at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Middle Stage. If you didn’t use despicable means, how could you..."

"So what if I’m at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Middle Stage? I, at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Middle Stage, still beat you, a so-called expert of the Martial Arts Ten Heavens, to a pulp!" Qin Feng sneered, lifting his boot off Ao Fang’s face. "Does a Martial Arts Realm truly represent one’s absolute strength?"

"I see now. You’re not pretending to be stupid, you’re genuinely stupid. You’re hopeless!"

Ao Fang threw his head back and roared. "Qin Feng, you dare humiliate me, a Prince! I will never submit to you in this lifetime! For the humiliation you’ve given me today, I will surely repay you tenfold, a hundredfold, in the future!"

"He’s still hopelessly stubborn."

Qin Feng looked up at Du Pingxia and asked, "Are all the disciples from the Royal Family this stupid?"

Du Pingxia rolled his eyes, glanced at Ao Fang, and said with a wry smile, "He’s just an exception. If we were all like him, the Empire would have been overthrown long ago!"

"See? I’m not the only one who says you’re stupid. Do you know that if this weren’t All Stars Academy, after saying something like that, your head would have already been completely crushed!"

Qin Feng’s gaze was filled with pity. "How pathetic. So tall and strong, yet you’re just being used as someone’s pawn. No wonder they chose you. You’re stupid, and easy to manipulate!"

SPUTTER!

Ao Fang’s face turned a deep, purplish red. He pointed at Qin Feng, unable to speak, then after a moment, let out a sharp cry, "AHH!" A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and he fainted from sheer rage.

The surrounding onlookers watched with cold detachment. After being tormented like this, Ao Fang would surely develop an inner demon. If he couldn’t overcome it, he would be completely ruined.

Qin Feng moved his foot away.

"Young Master Ao!" Yu Hong finally broke free from Yu Yao’s grasp and hurried forward to check on Ao Fang’s injuries.

With a pained look at the injured Ao Fang, Yu Hong, her pretty face flushed, glared angrily at Black Robe and yelled, "Qin Feng, how could you treat Young Master Ao like this? He is our fellow disciple, after all! Aren’t your actions far too vicious?!"

"Cousin!" Yu Yao’s expression changed, and she quickly pulled on Yu Hong.

"Seventh Sister, stay out of this! Even though Qin Feng is the Elder of Cyan Dragon Academy and wields immense power, I, Yu Hong, am just a simple girl, but I am not afraid!"

"Even if I have to risk my life today, I, Yu Hong, will get justice for Young Master Ao!"

"Justice?" Qin Feng looked at the furious Yu Hong and sneered. "Yu Hong, in your eyes, would it be justice if your beloved Young Master Ao stomped me under his foot and seized the position of Elder Cyan Dragon?"

"You’re lying!" Yu Hong shouted. "Young Master Ao is kind-hearted and honorable! He would never be as brutal as you!"

"I’m brutal? He’s kind?" Qin Feng was so angry he laughed. ’This woman really knows how to twist the truth.’

Qin Feng was getting truly disgusted. He had originally been willing to let things slide with this woman since they were from the same hometown, not wanting to argue with her.

But she didn’t know what was good for her, pestering him relentlessly again and again.

A nameless rage began to burn in Qin Feng.

His gaze turning icy, Qin Feng sneered and demanded, "Let me ask you, how do you know Ao Fang is kind-hearted and honorable? Do you know him that well? Do you have some kind of special relationship with him?"

Yu Hong’s face paled slightly. She was a lady from a prominent family, known to be pure and chaste. If she were to admit to having some kind of relationship with Ao Fang now, her reputation would be ruined.

Qin Feng pressed on. "As far as I know, you are a young lady of the Yu Family from Mountain and River City, a respectable maiden, while Ao Fang is a Prince of the Violet Kingdom. The two of you are worlds apart!"

Qin Feng stared her down. "For you to know him so well... unless you’re a born ****, a promiscuous **** who has slept with him, why else would you know so much about a man you barely know!"

Yu Hong’s face turned deathly white. She was speechless.

The moment Qin Feng’s words left his mouth, Yu Hong felt countless suspicious gazes fall upon her, tinged with a lecherous light. A terrifying fear grew in her heart.

’This concerns a woman’s honor!’

Once she was labeled a ****, her entire life would be ruined.

Yu Hong was so anxious she was on the verge of tears, with no idea how to explain herself.

"Elder, my cousin was agitated from her cultivation, so she’s speaking carelessly and talking nonsense. How could we have any relationship with this person? If there’s any relationship, it’s that of an enemy!"

Yu Yao stepped forward, pulling Yu Hong behind her. She gave a signal with her eyes, and two cold-faced young women came forward, knocked Yu Hong unconscious with a chop to the neck, and carried her away.

Yu Yao said sincerely, "The Elder is a friend of our Princess, so naturally, you are our benefactor. How could we possibly be your enemy?"

Qin Feng glanced at Yu Yao, snorted coldly, and decided not to pursue the matter further.

Yu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly had her people carry Yu Hong away.

Qin Feng’s gaze swept the area. Noticing that Wen Hong and Qin Tianjiao had already left, he snorted to himself. His eyes returned to the Sword Testing Platform, just as the sky above it filled with roiling clouds and changing colors. One after another, phenomenal visions began to erupt.

Someone was already standing on the Sword Testing Platform.

This person was none other than the Elder Black Tortoise, Zhao Sikong!
