Chapter 25 - Easy Win (1/2)

Outside of the Knowledge Teaching Pavilion, a commotion was sparked among the upper house disciples as shock overtook them. The first time when Zhong Yue defeated Shui Lingshan, it could be attributed to luck as he caught may have caught Shui Lingshan off-guard, taking advantage of the fact that Shui Lingshan was unaware of his immense strength.

But the second time, when the second Shui Tu Clan's disciple controlled his totem god pillar to suppress the strong bodily strength of the physique refiner. Zhong Yue was still able to defeat the disciple without any difference in difficulty, finishing off the disciple with the same ending as Shui Lingshan, this would then go beyond the realm of mere luck… this was his own ability!

The core members of the Shui Tu Clan were not just profligate scions at all. They were all disciples that had gone through countless battles and withstood the trials and tribulations concomitant with cultivation. Using the totem pillar to restrain Zhong Yue was the most suitable method to counter a physique refiner, this was the optimal stratagem generally agreed upon by the disciples. But a single stomp and Zhong Yue could eradicate the influence of the totem pillar. One could tell only surmise the heights to which his physique and strength had reached!

"You want to fight ten? You are too presumptuous!"

Someone recognized Zhong Yue and said, "This is the Zhong Shan Clan member, no wonder he is so presumptuous! He is a man of arrogance, he once pummeled a Tian Feng Clan senior martial brother with his fists, not only that but he even lambasted the Tian Feng Clan in front of an elder. It's only been a month since then, and his strength has increased this much, even the Shui Tu Clan core disciples couldn't escape from his fists, I'm afraid that he's now stronger than most of the upper house disciples!"

From the side, someone whispered, "Does this dude harbor any animosity toward the top ten clans? Why is he always fighting against a member of the top ten clans? First the Tian Feng Clan, now the Shui Tu Clan, then the next time will it be the Tao Lin Clan and Li Shan Clan?"

One of the Li Shan Clan disciples sneered, just when he was about to intervene, he was stopped by another disciple of his clan. The latter shook his head and said, "The Shui Tu Clan and the Li Shan Clan are competitors, we will surely meet with each other two months later in the Lawless Battle, it is a good chance to gather some information about the prowess of our competitors."

The Li Shan Clan disciple nodded, he took a step back and said, "I thought the upper house disciples are all weaklings, but it seems like there are still quite a number of strong competitors, it's just the right time to see what these upper house disciples are capable of!"

Ting Lanyue was carried out of the training room by a few Elder Pu's disciples, He Chengchuan quickly went over and asked, "Senior martial sister, are you alright?"

"A few broken ribs and some impacts on the internal organs, I consumed a medicinal pellet, so I am still surviving."

Ting Lanyue struggled to get up, and she looked at Zhong Yue who was standing at the center of the upper house disciples' gazes. She thought to herself, Junior Martial Brother Zhong is acting too presumptuous, too dominant and too insolent, I'm afraid he will be overwhelmed by the Shui Tu Clan disciples, but he is just trying to help us...En? Wait a minute, his little lover Shui Qingyan is from the Shui Tu Clan, could it be that he broke up with his little lover and is now trying to release his anger on the Shui Tu Clan disciples?

"Fighting with ten of our clan's disciples? Who is this arrogant man?"

The core disciples of the Shui Tu Clan was initially watching the incident in a training room of their clan's Qi Practitioner. The moment Shui Lingshan was carried into the training room, they quickly approach him, even before they could apply any medicinal pellets to Shui Lingshan, Zhong Yue had already pummeled the second Shui Tu Clan disciple.

Right at this time, Zhong Yue's words reached them, and the Shui Tu Clan core disciples were enraged. One after another, they stood up, and with obvious killing intent, they gazed out of the Knowledge Teaching Pavilion.

The core disciples were undoubtedly different from the ordinary ones. They are usually descendants of the clan leader or the Qi Practitioners in the clan. Their status and identity were far more significant than the ordinary disciples. They were ones that could cultivate under a Qi Practitioner and could be said to be the elite of the elites among the youths of Shui Tu Clan!

Cultivating under the Qi Practitioners of their clan, among them, which one was a disciple that failed to grasp the true quintessence of the techniques? Without the ability to perceive the true quiddity and teachings, one would have no such qualification to cultivate under a Qi Practitioner!

Besides, the Shui Tu Clan as one of the top ten clans, their core disciples had access to a ready supply of medicinal pellets. With the endless number of medicinal pellets, even an ordinary disciple could be forcibly raised to the level of a formidable cultivator!

Ordinarily, these disciples felt a sense of superiority and elitism over the upper house disciples. This arrogance of theirs stemmed from the fact that the upper house disciples didn't have the privilege of being imparted with the true quintessence of cultivation techniques, and that the upper house disciples were inherently weaker than them. Even though their purpose here today was to get a clearer picture of the strengths and prowess of the upper house disciples, deep down in their hearts, they still viewed the upper house disciples in contempt and didn't really take them seriously.

It was true that when they have reached the upper house and after just a few rounds of duels, they were able to trounce the upper house disciples. Up until now, they had yet to meet a formidable opponent, and they became increasingly barbaric and unruly.

But right now, the elites of the Shui Tu Clan disciples were challenged, a peasant physique-refiner of the upper house actually dared to challenge ten disciples of the Shui Tu Clan!

"How dare an inconsequential upper house disciple that trains on physique-refining arts have the audacity to act arrogantly in front of us, showing no respect and taking the inner hall elites as tiny little ants… presumptuous, so presumptuous!"

The eyes of one of the female disciples flashed, she stood up and walked out of the training room. Her clothes fluttered in the air, and she cut the figure of a valiant heroine. She declared, "I will enlighten him on the immensity of heaven and earth!"

She had already started visualizing before walking out of the training room. Her psyche turned into flowing waters around her body forming cohesive a stream of river water that swirled around her like a soaring dragon and a slithering snake!

"Water Sword Qi, [Sword Thirteen Styles]!"

The female disciple of the Shui Tu Clan whispered, within the river water appeared Water Sword Qi. One after another, the Sword Qi aligned themselves around her into an exquisite array, she had cast a profound sword skill!

Clearly, she was very cautious, the countless battles she had gone through had empowered her the combat awareness and instilled within her the proclivity of not taking her enemies lightly. This prudence was a result of witnessing her two martial siblings face terrible defeats due to their carelessness when facing Zhong Yue. Hence, before she even engaged with Zhong Yue, she had already started visualizing her technique so that she wouldn't be caught off-guard by Zhong Yue who was ostensibly merely a physique-refiner.

One of the Shui Tu Clan disciples smiled and said, "Senior Martial Sister Shui Sheng is indeed one of the most talented disciples and is regarded highly of by the clan elders. What a cautious disposition she has. This time, we will definitely show that upper house brat our strength!"

Before he could finish his words, a dreadful and terrifying air burst out toward the door, a ferocious Jiao Dragon soared in front of the training room and clashed with the female disciple!

The Water Sword Qi [Sword Thirteen Styles] and the Jiao Dragon collided with each other. Flashes of lightning formed a miniature sun that enveloped the Jiao Dragon. The Jiao Dragon fluttered around toward the river water, with a single flip, the river was torn into pieces, and the Water Sword Qi was reduced to mist!

The female disciple let out a shrill scream as she was flipped into the air by the tail of the Jiao Dragon, she flew across the training room and smashed into a wall on the other side!

The wall quivered drastically and crushed rocks crumbled onto the floor, Shui Sheng was embedded into the wall surface with her limbs spread-eagled, the surface of the wall around her fissured as if someone had ornamentally engraved the wall with a cobweb-like mural!

One could intimate the strength of Zhong Yue's punch!
