Chapter 15 - Retaliation (1/2)

“Why?” Ye Shang asked indifferently to Qi Ming, knowing that it would be very difficult to kill Qin Hai today. However, he also knew that if he couldn’t kill him right now, it would be difficult to get another chance in the future.

“During the apprenticeship ceremony, no one is allowed to fight!” Qi Ming thundered fiercely at Ye Shang and Qin Hai, both who seemed thirsty for each other’s head.

“If it’s not allowed, then where did the footprint on my body come from?” Ye Shang held the spear in his right hand and pointed to the footprint on his waist with his left hand.

“That was an accident. We couldn’t stop it. It doesn’t give you the right to go after him. Look around us, there are many people here are watching you, you can’t deliberately violate the regulations.” Qi Ming loosened his right hand that held the black iron spear and explained it.

Ye Shang nodded since he knew that it was useless to argue anymore. If he wanted to enter Medicine Valley, he must follow what ever rules they had.

“Ye Shang, I am not done with you.” Qin Hai, who stood up, spat some blood, staring at Ye Shang wickedly. Ye Shang’s cultivation base was low, so his kick obviously couldn’t destroy Qin Hai’s dantian, but it still managed to inflict some noticeable damage to his body. His clavicle was broken rendering his dantian unstable. He might barely have a chance of passing the upcoming fourth round.

“Fine, just remember, not to give me another chance.” Ye Shang returned back to the queue.

“Martial Uncles, he seems a bit extreme, should we deprive him of his qualifications?” A man dressed in a distinct blue robe uttered sarcastically as he sat down on a wobbly chair. He was Lu Jing, the disciple of the leader of the Wangyun Peak, Yuantai. He was also the representative from Wangyun Peak.

“Brother Lu Jing, your comment on him doesn’t resonate with the conducts of a warrior. Should he pretend as if nothing happened? Such disciples have no future. His behavior was a bit rash but he is at least humble and straightforward.” Not waiting for Yan Arctic and Liu Yangyu to speak, Chu Lingxiao interceded for Ye Shang since he was pleased with his act of protecting his own honour.

Like most he also paid a lot of attention to the performance of Ye Shang in all three rounds. During the second round, what initially caught his eye about Ye Shang was his remarkable enthusiasm, and not hesitating to injure himself in order to complete the assessment.

During the third round, he showed his flexibility and shocking endurance. With the cultivation base of Qi-Refining Level 3, he still kept up with the first echelon, not only showing his endurance, but also a performance enriched with perseverance and quality.

“Too impatient? I don’t think so. If there is a chance to take revenge, he should take the shot. It’s a pity, he did not succeed.” Liu Yangyu, who was silent for a while, looked at Lu Jing and shoveled the firm words on his contemptful face.

Lu Jing clasped his hands to Liu Yangyu and the Yan Arctic, who did not get up, and then sat down. He had to respect Liu Yangyu’s opinions since Liu Yangyu was a top figure in the Medicine Valley.

Chu Lingxiao got up and announced the names of members who passed the assessment, and Ye Shang was among them at the bottom of the list. It could be said that he barely managed to pass behind the first echelon.

“Martial Uncles, it’s late now and there are two injured participants, should we send them to rest for one night and continue the assessment tomorrow?” said Chu Lingxiao, as he looked at Ye Shang. He was very optimistic about Ye Shang, so he didn’t want Ye Shang to enter the fourth round with an injured body. As for Qin Hai, he didn’t really care about him.

“Well, it’s up to you.” Liu Yangyu closed his eyes after he finished speaking, and it looked as if the matter of the apprenticeship ceremony was none of his concerns.

“Martial Uncle Yan, what do you think?” Chu Lingxiao looked at the Yan Arctic.

“Fine, the remaining ones are all good seedlings. You have to send some people over to the Grass Valley to inspect and petrol, we do not want any unnecessary complications tomorrow.” Yan Arctic stood up, said his point of view and then left with Qin Zen.

Since Yan Arctic had left, Chu Lingxiao got up and announced his decision that the assessment would be carried out tomorrow while throwing a bottle of pills at Qi Ming, “Give them each a Vein Pill. Also take some people from enforcement team to the Grass Valley for patrolling today, We do not want to see any unexpected accidents that can affect tomorrow’s assessment.”

Without looking at anyone, Liu Yangyu got up and left.

Qi Ming came over to Qin Hai, gave him one pill and then gave the rest of the bottle to Ye Shang.
