Chapter 8 - Humiliations Beyond Limit (1/2)

That upper house disciple appeared to be masculine and also around fifteen or sixteen years old; despite this, he seemed to be as strong as a grizzly bear. His kick landed very hard on the back of Zhong Yue's knee, and its strength was so strong that it could smash rocks into pieces and break trees in half.

Boom!

A loud sound followed, and Zhong Yue's body swayed. He was almost brought to his knees. At the same time, the force from the two totem pillars also pressed him down harder, causing him to bear even more pressure!

"Tian? Tian Feng Clan? Could it be the old examiner of the Cloudless Hall?"

Zhong Yue figured it out with lightning speed. Tian Feng Clan held significant clout in the Swords Gate, and that old examiner was the one who was in charge of the Cloudless Hall in the outer house. This meant that Tian Feng Clan could unscrupulously provide benefits to the Tian Feng Clan's disciples under the table.

But now, due to the incidents that happened during the examination, Zhuo Xiangsheng realized that he had to be the one in charge of Cloudless Hall to provide a fair environment for the peasant disciples. Therefore, he challenged the old examiner from Tian Feng Clan and took over the Cloudless Hall.

This incident only happened because of Zhong Yue, causing the Tian Feng Clan to lose their power over the Cloudless Hall. It was natural that Tian Feng Clan would retaliate!

"Huh? My totem pillars are carved with the totem of the mountain tortoise; they would weight a mountain once cast, and you can still stand under the pressure?"

The upper house disciple kicked again, and after seeing Zhong Yue was still able to stand, he praised him in shock, "No wonder you could pass the test with sheer strength. But you are asking for more suffering by resisting. You should just obediently kneel down outside of the Knowledge Teaching Pavilion and in front of the upper house disciples for a couple of hours. After this, my Tian Feng Clan will generously forgive you for what you did."

Hu!

Another kick landed on Zhong Yue, and the upper house disciple laughed, "You just had to resist didn't you?! I'm afraid that you might have to suffer even more then!"

Zhong Yue's legs bent even more after the kicks, and the pressure from the totem pillars placed an even greater burden on him!

"You must be wondering why there aren't any Qi Practitioners that are willing to teach you in these past few days eh?"

Kick after kick landed behind Zhong Yue's knee and an ever-increasing number of disciples surrounded them without any sign of interfering.

"This is because after our Tian Feng Clan lost Cloudless Hall, the other Qi Practitioners were afraid that it would offend our clan if they were to take you in. And because of that, I'm afraid that there will no longer be any Qi Practitioners to teach you."

Dong!

Zhong Yue was forced to kneel on one leg with his hands supporting him on the ground, trying as hard as he could to not kneel on both legs. On his forehead, veins were seen bursting out because of the immense strength he used to resist.

"You will not be taught or guided by anyone in the Swords Gate! As a result, your path ends here, and I wouldn't even think of becoming a Qi Practitioner anymore!"

The upper house disciple landed another hard kick on Zhong Yue's right knee and said, "Our Tian Feng Clan did not let out any words in this matter, it is that they're afraid of taking you in. This is because our Tian Feng Clan are one of the top ten clans in the Great Wilderness! Even without us uttering a word, you will never have any chance of success in anything after offending us! Today, all you have to do is kneel down here for a few hours, and if you are smart enough, you should leave Swords Gate."

Outside of the pavilion, the other upper disciples looked at the situation and shook their heads. A female disciple shook her head and said, "The Tian Feng Clan is one of the top ten clans in the Great Wilderness, offending the Tian Feng Clan and causing them to lose their power on Cloudless Hall… There might not be any more room for him in the entire Great Wilderness, not to mention in the Swords Gate…"

"What happened?" asked by someone who had no clue of what happened previously.

"They said that a few days before, Junior Martial Uncle Zuo and Senior Martial Uncle Tian fought because of this Zhong Shan Clan's junior martial brother. Junior martial uncle severely injured senior martial uncle and wrested away control of Cloudless Hall. The Tian Feng Clan lost control over Cloudless Hall, and the clan elders were displeased, they pressured Junior Martial Uncle Zuo, but things didn't end up well."

"I see, Junior Martial Uncle Zuo is the rising young Qi Practitioner within Swords Gate, there are a lot of elders backing him. The Tian Feng Clan couldn't do anything to him, but the Zhong Shan Clan junior martial brother is only a peasant, being in the middle of this issue will only find him in deep trouble..."

"Not only deep trouble, look, the Senior Martial Uncle Tian of the Cloudless Hall is here too, coming in the name of imparting his teachings, but he is most probably here only to see how the Zhong Shan Clan member will end up."

Zhong Yue groaned silently and looked toward the pavilion, only to see that old examiner from Cloudless Hall sitting in one of the training room staring at him emotionlessly.

Booom——

Zhong Yue felt as if something exploded in his mind! Shame, anger and an unyielding will all gushed out in his heart.

"Tian Feng Clan…"

Suddenly, a cracking sound emanated from his body and his bones vibrated incessantly. In between his eyebrows, a massive wave of psyche could be seen surging out. It formed a pair of dragon claws and a dragon's body that was replete with hard and sharp scales.

"Roar——"

A dragon's roar could then be heard, and the roar became louder and louder. The cacophony threatened to shatter everything around it. As the roar became deafeningly loud, the dragon formed from Zhong Yue's psyche became even more corporeal and detailed. Zhong Yue also got up bit by bit while resisting the immense pressure coming from the two mountain tortoise totem pillars.

The situation looked as if there really were a Jiao Dragon swimming in the air around his body with its scales standing angrily.

The Tian Feng Clan upper house disciple received a shock, and he quickly murmured. The carvings on his two mountain tortoise totem pillars soon became even clearer, and waves could be seen being emitted from the pillars, forming a mountain that looked like a tortoise, slamming onto Zhong Yue heavily!

The power and potential of the two pillars had been fully exploited by the upper house disciple as he tried his utmost to crush Zhong Yue!
