Chapter 48 (1/2)
He hadn’t finished his sentence when he came to a stop.
It was because when that figure gradually became clearer to him, he had sunken into a state of disbelief.
“Xia… Xia Qingchen?”
There was no way that Zhao Tianyu would have predicted that the person who had surpassed the record of the phenomenal genius would be Xia Qingchen that he looked down upon!
He had thought that Xia Qingchen had been in the cultivation chamber on the outer zone, and after cultivating for a few days, he had left in a sorry state.
Little did he know that not only was this not the case, but Xia Qingchen had even cultivated in the central cultivation chamber for 100 days consecutively.
This… was impossible!
Given the central cultivation chamber’s terrifying fire qi, Xia Qingchen, a junior student, would have been incinerated into ashes if he were to cultivate in there for 100 days.
There must be a problem somewhere!
“Stop right there!” Zhao Tianyu stopped Xia Qingchen who had wanted to leave, letting out a cold bellow, “Speak up. How did you cheat?”
Other than cheating, Zhao Tianyu couldn’t think of a second possibility.
Xia Qingchen had just ended his training and was in a very good mood. He found it very strange to be yelled at all of a sudden.
“You’re talking to me?” Xia Qingchen pointed to himself.
Zhao Tianyu let out a cold laugh and pointed at the stone tablet. “Stop it with the acting! I do hold admiration for you. Not only had you cheated, but you even made it such that your results from the cheating reached an unattainable height, as if you fear that others won’t be able to find out!”
En?
What cheating? What results?
Xia Qingchen threw a glance at the stone tablet Zhao Tianyu was referring to. He saw that the first name on it was Yu Qingyang, and there was a 99 inscribed behind it.
“What rubbish are you talking about? Stop blocking the way!” Xia Qingchen frowned.
He didn’t have a good impression of Zhao Tianyu at all.
“Hmph! As a member of the martial pavilion, as well as your senior, I have a need to oversee the fairness at the Fire Lake!” Zhao Tianyu grabbed Xia Qingchen by the collar, tugged at him, and said, “Come with me to meet the martial pavilion’s upper echelons. Let them see what an ugly face you have.”
He wasn’t just speaking harshly but had even made a move?
Xia Qingchen’s gaze slowly turned cold, and he spoke up in a cold tone, “I would advise you to stop while you’re ahead. I’ve tolerated you for more than just once or twice.”
A person’s tolerance was limited, and this was the same for Xia Qingchen.
“You’re threatening me?” Zhao Tianyu spoke with contempt. “You’re just a toad trying to eat a swan’s flesh. So what if you’ve gotten together with Zhen Zhilan? This is the martial pavilion’s territory. I’d advise you to take a good look at yourself! Cheating at the Fire Lake… haha… you really have guts! Come with me!”
Saying that, he pulled Xia Qingchen strongly.
However, what that was beyond his expectations was that he didn’t manage to make Xia Qingchen, who he looked down upon, budge at all.
“En?” Zhao Tianyu was stunned for a moment, then he exerted force again. “Kid, you have some strength…”
He had just finished his words when Xia Qingchen suddenly put out his right fist, grabbing onto the wrist that was grabbing him by the collar.
“My strength is greater than you imagined it to be.” Xia Qingchen’s gaze had already turned icy cold.
His fingers locked onto Zhao Tianyu’s wrist, and he suddenly exerted force!
Kacha——
The slight sound of cracking rang out.
Zhao Tianyu let out an agonizing cry, and his hand that was holding onto Xia Qingchen’s collar naturally let go.
“You… you…” Zhao Tianyu was someone at the first fold-level of the medium constellation stage.
To think that he had been hurt by Xia Qingchen who was at the minor constellation stage?
“I told you that I’ve been tolerating you for a very long time,” Xia Qingchen said indifferently, lifting up one leg and kicking him, sending him flying.
Zhao Tianyu quickly scrambled up to his feet, feeling both surprised and enraged. “You b*stard! So what if you have some strength? You dare raise your hands against a senior student? Alright, I’ll teach you a lesson!” A fierce gleam shone in his eyes as he blamed the matter of his father being forced to kneel and humiliated, as well as the reason for his clan’s sorry plight, onto Xia Qingchen.
“I’ve wanted to kill you for a long time. Since you come knocking on the door yourself, then don’t blame me!” Zhao Tianyu let out a fierce bellow, and silver inner force flowed out from all over his body.
“Evil Tiger Biting Corpse!”
His fists were like two ferocious tigers that were let out of their cages, striking straight for Xia Qingchen’s critical points.
His inner force extended out three feet beyond his fists, radiating out from his body.
This was the sign of having reached the medium constellation stage—to be releasing the inner force!
Xia Qingchen’s gaze turned cold. Not only did he not retreat, but he even took a step forward. “Barbaric Elephant Gallops in the Wild!”
After devoting hard work in his training for three months and ten days…
