章 23: This Is So Like Ye Futian

編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Mandate Sorcerer," the students of Qingzhou Academy discussed in shock. That formation, it was a Life Spirit, no wonder he was able to create the matrix so quickly.

This young fellow was not even fifteen years old, yet his matrix was so powerful that it could be a threat even to aces in the ninth Awakening Plane, the Unmaker Plane. Qingzhou Academy students were feeling threatened. With the two people before, they could still confidently say that Qingzhou Academy had students who were able to stand up to them but with this fellow, it would be difficult to find someone on his level.

"I heard that your academy just had Fall Quarter Examinations, who took first place?" the youth asked arrogantly. He did not even spare a glance at the students; they were not good enough to be his opponents. He stared straight at the important figures of Qingzhou Academy.

"Murong Qiu," someone answered him. Everyone immediately shifted their gaze towards Murong Qiu but his fellow schoolmates did not hold high hopes for him. Even though he came in first during the exams, everyone knew that Yu Sheng and Hua Jieyu were both much stronger than him.

Murong Qiu had no confidence in himself either. Everyone was looking at him, but he just stood there having no intentions of stepping up. Even Qiu Yan, who had been defeated earlier, was more capable than Murong Qiu.

The important figures of Qingzhou Academy were also watching Murong Qiu but they were quickly disappointed when it became clear that he was not going to participate in the duel.

"Yu Sheng," Cabinet Master Leng Qingfeng of the House of Swordsmen called out. It was rumored that Yu Sheng had broken into the Unmaker Plane not long ago. Plus, Leng Qingfeng had already witnessed his power at the Fall Quarter Examinations. To have him battle increased their chance of victory.

Yu Sheng glanced at Leng Qingfeng once and did nothing. He did not move, nor give a response. His expression was as cold as ice; it was like a silent protest.

"Seems like Yu Sheng is still pissed. I don't think he plans on fighting," someone said. Everyone shuddered at the expression on Yu Sheng's face. Not once did they think Yu Sheng was afraid of fighting like they thought Murong Qiu was. They felt that he was unwilling.

In the past two months, Murong Qiu had become an official disciple. Even Yang Xiu joined the School of Divination Arts but not Yu Sheng. No matter how many times the schools of martial arts and divination arts tried to recruit him, he never once accepted. Qingzhou Academy knew exactly why. It had something to do with the ban they had placed on a certain student. They knew this made Yu Sheng very angry. Some people even hypothesized that as long as the ban existed, Yu Sheng might ever choose to leave the academy altogether.

The higher ups of Qingzhou Academy had argued over this topic many times but there were still some individuals that refused to give in and lift the ban.

It was because of this that Yu Sheng refused to battle, even if the academy's reputation was on the line. In Yu Sheng's eyes, the academy's punishment on Ye Futian was incredibly insulting. Until the academy was able to provide him with a satisfying result, Yu Sheng was unwilling to do anything for the academy.

Leng Qingfeng was furious upon seeing Yu Sheng's reaction, but his anger was not directed at Yu Sheng. It was directed at Shi Zhong. He was extremely ticked off as he looked over at Shi Zhong. It was Qingzhou Academy that was in the wrong for being unjust; he had no right to punish Ye Futian for the way he had questioned the academy.

"Yu Sheng is still angry about what happened to you," said Feng Qingxue after witnessing this scene. Ye Futian nodded in agreement. Of course he knew how stubborn Yu Sheng was. If the academy had punished Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng would not have cared one bit; but because it had been Ye Futian, Yu Sheng was bound to hold a grudge. There was no way he would stand up for the academy. Ye Futian would do the same if it had been Yu Sheng who had been punished.

Feng Qingxue was disappointed. If Yu Sheng was not going to forgive the academy, there was a slim chance of him forgiving her.

"Is Hua Jieyu here?" asked one of the school's leaders. Everyone looked around in search of her. One part of the crowd moved to make a path for Hua Jieyu.

With something big like this happening at Qingzhou Academy, it did not take long for Hua Jieyu to find out. She had to have come.

"So beautiful," said the fellow from Heiyan Academy. His eyes glistened at the sight of such a beauty.

"Hua Jieyu, looks like it's up to you," said the school leader from before. All of Qingzhou Academy anticipated her reaction. In three years, no one had ever seen Hua Jieyu in action. Would she be able to defeat this genius from Heiyan Academy?

"How can I possibly fight such a beautiful lady?" The prideful youth was smiling as he looked at Hua Jieyu. "We're not too familiar with the City of Qingzhou, why don't you keep us company, beautiful? I can let Qingzhou Academy off the hook for today."

Hearing his words, his companions from Heiyan Academy began to laugh. Someone chimed in, "Junior Brother has a point. Being accompanied by a beauty is a great thing. It could turn into a beautiful story for both academies."

"How presumptuous," said someone from Qingzhou Academy.

"This group of *ssholes," everyone from Qingzhou Academy joined together to curse at their rivals. They were furious, Hua Jieyu was the perfect being to all of them and she was now being insulted by these jack*sses from Heiyan Academy.

"Shut up, you group of losers. If you don't like the things we say then come stand up to us," said the young fellow. He was dripping with pride. The students of Qingzhou Academy felt deeply insulted but they knew that they could not fight against him.

On the other hand, Hua Jieyu seemed to be at peace; she did not step up like the elders had hoped she would. She smiled and turned, her gaze falling on a certain someone. It was Ye Futian.

Not only did she see Ye Futian, she also took notice of Feng Qingxue beside him. She smiled and said softly to Ye Futian, "They're picking on me!"

When she turned toward Ye Futian, everyone was confused. The moment she spoke to him, their hearts broke.

They're picking on me... It was such a gentle voice. Their perfect goddess was whining so cutely to Ye Futian. It was a cute, flirtatious whine. If she had said this to any of them, they would have fought to their deaths; but her words were sadly not for any of them.

"My heart hurts," someone said. Everyone saw Feng Qingxue standing beside Ye Futian. First he had teased Senior Sister Qin Yi. Now, he was with Feng Qingxue. He was surrounded by so many beauties. Why him?

Feng Qingxue was shocked by Hua Jieyu's words. Feeling the countless pairs of eyes on herself, Feng Qingxue lowered her head and began to pick at the corner of her clothes. This was Hua Jieyu that she was up against.

Ye Futian could feel all the gazes on him. He rubbed his forehead. It really was impossible for him to keep a low profile.

Everyone from Heiyan Academy looked at him as well. They were trying to figure out what made Ye Futian so special that a beauty like Hua Jieyu would act that way towards him.

Ye Futian took a step forward. The people of Qingzhou Academy thought that he was really going to try his best to stand up for Hua Jieyu; but then again, any of them would have done the same had they been in his shoes. However, their results would probably have been much worse.

The prideful youth watched Ye Futian's figure. The corners of his lips lifted in a smirk as he said, "I think it would be best for you to rethink your choice. Standing up for a girl; how corny. You better be prepared for the consequences."

Ye Futian pretended not to hear him and said, "First, slap yourself a couple times and then apologize. Maybe after that I'll decide to let you guys leave Qingzhou Academy unscathed."

This.... Everyone's eyes widened. They couldn't believe what they had just heard. Even if you were trying to stand up for a girl you liked, you didn't have to be so arrogant. When he was completely defeated by their rivals, all of Qingzhou Academy was going to look so bad.

The hearts of the Qingzhou students continued to ache. How could a person like this get a girl like Hua Jieyu? What was wrong with the world?

Even the important figures of the academy could not bear to listen to Ye Futian. This rascal was exaggerating a little too much. Even though his gifts were not bad, his opponent was a Mandate Sorcerer.

"And if I refuse?" The prideful youth was looking at Ye Futian as if he were a moron. There was definitely something wrong inside this guy's head.

"Well then..." Ye Futian took another step forward. Everyone was still watching him. Just when they thought he was about to make a move, Ye Futian called out loudly, "Yu Sheng!"

Dead silence.

Wide-eyed, everyone continued to stare at Ye Futian. This was so like Ye Futian.

...

Even Hua Jieyu was wide-eyed. This was embarrassing for her.

The ground shook; snow flew around on the ground as Yu Sheng's large body approached the center of the crowd. His arrival was a threat in itself. It did not matter whether you liked Yu Sheng or not; there was no way you could deny that he was a natural born warrior.

The expressions on some of the faces from Heiyan Academy darkened upon Yu Sheng's arrival. Just from his aura one would feel suffocated by his power. He was definitely stronger than any of the other Qingzhou Academy students.

The important figures of Qingzhou Academy felt embarrassed. They could not get Yu Sheng to budge, yet two simple words from Ye Futian had been enough. It was really a slap in the face for them, but at the same time, they were relieved that he was finally stepping up for battle.

Yu Sheng looked at Hua Jieyu and said, "Leave it to me, sis-in-law."

"Huh?" Everyone was confused.

Smart guy! Ye Futian complimented him in his mind. Yu Sheng had changed; he had become so understanding.

Yu Sheng pointed at the prideful fellow from Heiyan Academy and said emotionlessly, "Scram. Let someone of a higher level come out. I don't want people to say that I pick on the weak."

He's so cool. Everyone from Qingzhou Academy complimented him. This was crazy.

Not long ago, someone else had also done something crazy like this, but everyone had thought it was embarrassing. It was the complete opposite with Yu Sheng. A shameless jerk like Ye Futian could never compare to Yu Sheng.


章 24: Who Was More Overbearing?

編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Yun Tianhao was mad. He was already arrogant enough about being a Mandate Sorcerer that he didn't expect there to be someone more arrogant than him.

However, the truth was, these two new challengers were the source of this feeling.

"Fools," Yun Tianhao spoke in a cold voice. The Spiritual Qi started to surround his body, but Mu Jiang stepped up and stopped him. "Let me take care of him," Mu Jiang said.

He then moved directly towards Yu Sheng to challenge him. He faintly felt that Yu Sheng was a threat, and he wanted to take matters into his own hands to prevent Yun Tianhao from a sudden failure. Yun Tianhao was the pride of Heiyan Academy, and they couldn't afford to lose this pride.

"Sure, take him down for me," Yun Tianhao nodded and stepped back. Mu Jiang started to control the frost energy from his surroundings, and he vibrated with all the power around him.

"Yu Sheng, make sure he has to be carried out." Ye Futian was mad about being called a fool by Yun Tianhao.

"Of course," Yu Sheng nodded, then stepped forward firmly. The earth was shaking from his sheer strength. Mu Jiang stared at the huge guy in front of him and started to get concerned. He could feel a horrifying mass of coldness flowing in front him, forming a storm to attack his enemy.

Yu Sheng stomped the ground and started to attack. Mu Jiang also initiated his spell. All of a sudden, an ice storm appeared out of nowhere, and Yu Sheng's body was covered with frost. Mu Jiang was trying to confine his enemy by trapping him in a prison of ice.

That was the spell, Ice Imprisonment.

"Look how powerful he is." People noticed that the ice on Yu Sheng's body was growing thicker. Mu Jiang was still in the Plane of Awakening, but he could already convey Ice Imprisonment without physical contact. This ability usually belonged to those in the Glory Plane.

However, a golden glow burst out of Yu Sheng's body, and suddenly, the ice shell started to shatter. He now looked like the Almighty in this golden glow, and he was unstoppable as he reached closer to Mu Jiang.

"Imprison him!" Mu Jiang shouted, and another, stronger, ice storm burst out from his body. Yu Sheng was engulfed by the storm in a second. Qiu Yan had been defeated by the same tactic.

Yu Sheng was not affected at all. He got rid of the ice on his body by merely shaking his hand. A golden glow flowed down his arm. Mu Jiang tried to retreat. As a mage, when he let a warrior into his melee range and failed to attack, he could do nothing but retreat.

Unfortunately, he was just not fast enough. Yu Sheng's hand had already clamped onto his neck, and Mu Jiang's entire body was lifted into the air. People were in awe to see that Yu Sheng did this with such ease.

"Let him go," Yu Tianhao shouted at Yu Sheng. However, Yu Sheng ignored his words. He threw Mu Jiang to the ground and smashed his whole body. After a booming noise, Mu Jiang was screaming in extreme pain, and it sounded like his bones had been shattered.

Futian wanted the guy to be lifted out so he obviously couldn't be allowed to walk.

People were awestruck and fell silent. All eyes were drawn to the young man who was just as strong as the Almighty himself.

"That is some real power." The Qingzhou Academy students felt excited.

"So hot!" some girls exclaimed.

Mu Jiang, one of the arrogant intruders from Heiyan Academy who had defeated Qiu Yan in a second and intimidated Murong Qiu, the first place student in the Fall Quarter Exam, had just lost to Yu Sheng in such an embarrassing way. He was smashed with one hand. What an overbearing gesture Yu Sheng had made.

"Yu Sheng is going to attend my college. Whoever tries to take him away is going to be my enemy, for sure." The Director of the College of Martial Arts glanced at the other directors around him. He liked this young man so much that he believed he was meant to go to his college.

"So count me as your enemy. I want him." The Director of the Hall of Metal Element ignored his threat. He also believed that Yu Sheng would be a perfect student.

Ye Futian seemed to be the only one that was not shocked by Yu Sheng's performance. In fact, Yu Sheng had been able to defeat those who were even in the higher planes of cultivation.

"Who else?" After seeing the Heiyan Academy medical team take Mu Jiang away, Yu Sheng began to invite challengers again pridefully. Yun Tianhao was going to step up, but right at that moment, a hand landed on his shoulder and stopped him.

The head of Heiyan Academy group, the man with eagle eyes, had keenly perceived the immeasurable power of Yu Sheng. He had told Mu Jiang to challenge Yu Sheng and test his power. Now he had the answer. He just could not risk the future of Yun Tianhao. Even though Yun Tianhao was a Mandate Sorcerer and able to defeat those in higher planes of cultivation, Yu Sheng was a monster. Even a powerful mage like Yun Tianhao did not have a one hundred percent chance of winning against him.

"Okay, we concede," the eagle-eyed leader said. Yun Tianhao felt reluctant to concede, but did not say anything.

"Then get out of here," a director at Qingzhou Academy uttered.

"We only lost one after you had lost three. You have thousands of students in the planes of awakening in your academy, but only one of them can fight?" the eagle-eyed leader taunted them.

"At least that one's enough to sweep you all," Yu Sheng responded.

"You arrogant fool," Yun Tianhao said angrily. "If I ever reach the ninth plane of awakening, you will bow down to my power."

"Seriously, who allowed challenges regardless of planes? What now? You want to change your mind?" Ye Futian asked sarcastically.

Yun Tianhao glanced at Ye Futian and said, "If you want to challenge me, just step up and fight. Otherwise, stay a coward and shut up."

People were now looking at Ye Futian. They didn't believe he was as powerful as Yu Sheng, so he was going to humiliate himself.

Ye Futian frowned a little at the provocation. He laughed at the words "be a coward" and then stepped forward.

This humiliation would not be tolerated.

"Yu Sheng!" Ye Futian yelled.

"Yep," Yu Sheng responded.

"It's my turn." Ye Futian stepped forward.

Suddenly, Yu Sheng started laughing and pointing at Yun Tianhao and said, "This one's for you."

Actually, he had let Yun Tianhao stay in the arena intentionally for Ye Futian to show off.

However, why did he believe that Ye Futian would win?

Besides, how dare Ye Futian challenge the pride of Heiyan Academy?

The students had witnessed in person how powerful Yun Tianhao was. He was a Mandate Sorcerer who specialized in matrices, and he had defeated multiple challengers with only one strike from his matrix.

Ye Futian continued stepping forward until he was standing in the middle of the arena. Feng Qingxue looked at him, and she experienced a moment of déjà vu. The exact same thing had happened during the Fall Quarter Exam. He had been the underdog of all the students, but he had ultimately defeated Ling Xiao and Yang Xiu, the top-ranked students.

However, he was now challenging someone even more powerful, a Mandate Sorcerer from Heiyan Academy and the pride of all the students there.

Ye Futian made a peaceful introduction. "I am in the seventh plane of awakening, the Mystery."

"Only Seven?" Yun Tianhao was surprised for a moment, then responded, "You are too weak to challenge me."

He had a strong enough talent to say that. After all, he was a Mandate Sorcerer who had never lost a challenge from anyone in the same plane or lower.

"I feel the same way about you, but since you're asking for it, I'll give you the humiliation you deserve." Ye Futian peacefully conversed with him. "I don't mind if you take the challenge or not. All of you can take this challenge. You can take me on one on one, or you can take me on all at once."

"What the…" The Qingzhou Academy students were shocked. He didn't have to show off in such a dangerous way, did he?

Ye Futian had repeated the intruders' own words.

But, what if he lost? The students of Qingzhou Academy dared not think further.

"That's not funny at all." Yun Tianhao believed that Ye Futian was imitating him to mock him.

"Words are just words. Now you're the one acting like a coward," Ye Futian kept speaking, with an odd sense of confidence. He had his hands in his pockets and looked like he despised all of the Heiyan Academy group.

Yun Tianhao was incredibly mad at this gesture. He had never seen anyone act so arrogantly in front of him. However, he had seen two arrogant fools today, and the one talking now was only in the seventh plane of awakening. How dare he talk like that to a Mandate Sorcerer!

"I'll take him on." The swordsman who had defeated Li Qingshan with three strikes stepped up. Yun Tianhao nodded and backed down. "Take him down. Remember, never let him forget this fear."

"For sure, I will." The swordsman unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Ye Futian. "Three strikes—no more, no less."

He had made the same statement before while defeating Li Qingshan.

"I don't need three. You'll be down after one strike," Ye Futian said calmly. The students of Qingzhou Academy were already used to his arrogance.

They were just curious as to how this would eventually end.

The swordsman started laughing, and wind gathered over his body. He had specialized in both sorcery and martial arts, and was in the eighth plane of awakening, the Metamorph. How could he ever lose to a cultivator in the seventh Plane of Awakening?

The swordsman took the form of a shadow and disappeared. Snow was raging, and the attack was initiated. At the same time, Ye Futian closed his eyes.

The students of Qingzhou Academy were dumbfounded. Had he lost his mind? He had just closed his eyes while facing an imminent attack?

Even though most of the students hated Ye Futian, they didn't actually want to see him die. They had had a faint hope that this guy would save the pride of their academy, but it seemed that Ye Futian had just given up.

Thunder started gathering around Ye Futian's body, and a roaring sound burst out of him. The sound was almost like a dragon. He stayed still and let his power take care of the fight.

The blade was fast approaching his neck. However, Ye Futian seemed to be ignoring this attack. His eyes were still closed, and his body had not even moved an inch.

The blade came within inches of Ye Futian without actually hurting him. This attack was a diversionary attempt to draw away his attention, but Ye Futian just didn't move at all.

"Die, you fool." The swordsman was agitated by Ye Futian. He had been counting on him to flinch and move to the side so that he could make the second attack, which was solid. However, the arrogance of Ye Futian made him change his mind. Now, the blade was rushing right toward Ye Futian's throat.

Right before the blade touched his throat, Ye Futian started moving. He turned a little bit to his left, so subtly that the sword came through the air in front of his face. The audience was holding their breath at this evasion. How had he done that? Was it a reaction or merely luck?

The swordsman frowned. His attack combo had been changed, and there was no way he could further adjust his attacks. In other words, he could no longer win this fight. However, right after Ye Futian turned away, his hand reached for the neck of his opponent. A thunder dragon was roaring and burst out of Ye Futian's palm. The dragon wrapped around the neck of swordsman and lifted his body into the air.

"Seriously…." People were shocked by what they saw. Ye Futian had not touched his opponent at all, but he was in complete control of the thunder dragon that was totally overtaking the swordsman.
