"Haha, Qian Tonghe, you are no match for me. It's better for you to admit defeat now, or my Green Scythe Sword will show you no mercy!"
Wei Yi grew more confident with each strike, continuously taunting Qian Tonghe with his words.
Seeing Wei Yi still having the energy to speak, Qian Tonghe's anger and humiliation reached their peak.
If he couldn't even defeat Wei Yi, a mere student, how could he ever show his face again at the True Martial Academy as a teacher?
Without hesitation, he quickened his assault, gritting his teeth as he spoke,
"Wei Yi, don't get too cocky. If you wish to defeat me, you'll need a few more years of training."
"I am a ninth-tier Martial Master. No matter what, my inner energy is far deeper than yours. You're only a first-tier Martial Master. How long do you think you can last?"
"I'll show you who will have the last laugh..."
As a teacher relying on his profound cultivation to wear down his student in order to secure victory, Qian Tonghe's actions were undeniably disgraceful. Many of the surrounding instructors couldn't help but frown and shake their heads in disapproval.
The truth was, Qian Tonghe had few martial techniques in his repertoire, with his most powerful move being the Wind Shadow Palm.
But even the Wind Shadow Palm couldn't defeat Wei Yi. Wei Yi's Storm Swordsmanship was versatile, able to both attack and defend. With the addition of his Black Water Body Technique, a supreme skill of the mundane tier, Qian Tonghe simply couldn't harm him. His only option was to rely on stamina, but he had no other way to win.
However, his inability to win didn't mean that Wei Yi was powerless to claim victory.
"The last laugh? Qian Tonghe, you overestimate yourself."
"In three moves, you will be defeated!"
While the Storm Swordsmanship could block Qian Tonghe's Wind Shadow Palm, it was not a defensive technique but rather an offensive one.
To Wei Yi, the best defense was always a good offense.
"First move!"
As he spoke, Wei Yi immediately unleashed the ultimate move of the Storm Swordsmanship.
With a swift thrust, his sword shot out like a comet.
The sword's light flashed, and a burst of terrifying inner energy erupted, shattering Qian Tonghe's Wind Shadow Palm. Not only did it destroy the attack, but it also sent Qian Tonghe stumbling backward several paces.
Qian Tonghe, humiliated and furious, gritted his teeth and unleashed all of his remaining inner energy. The Wind Shadow Palm reached its extreme, and a thunderous roar followed. Countless dark palm shadows appeared, crashing toward Wei Yi like an overwhelming torrent.
"Second move!"
Wei Yi's eyes gleamed with sharpness. Facing Qian Tonghe's all-out attack, he didn't dare to be careless. He immediately pushed the Storm Swordsmanship to its maximum potential, while his bloodline power surged wildly within him. The Green Scythe Sword flicked and danced, creating numerous sword shadows that screamed through the air like a storm.
Palm shadows!
Sword shadows!
The two forces clashed in a vicious struggle, each martial skill reaching its peak.
In this moment, a sly grin spread across Wei Yi's face.
The Black Water Body Technique was activated instantly. He had been holding back until this point, but now he unleashed it at full speed. His body flowed like a stream of black water, swiftly dodging the raging palm shadows. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Qian Tonghe, his Green Scythe Sword flashing like a snake, thrusting toward him.
Qian Tonghe's eyes widened in shock, his face draining of color.
Without hesitation, he staggered backward, panicked.
"Get back..."
As a Martial Master, Qian Tonghe instinctively punched out in response.
"Haha, third move!"
But Wei Yi's Green Scythe Sword twisted and coiled like a serpent, wrapping around Qian Tonghe's arm, and the tip of the blade pressed directly against his throat.
Time stood still.
Everything froze in an instant.
Qian Tonghe's eyes bulged in disbelief.
The onlookers were equally stunned.
No one expected the fight to end so smoothly—Wei Yi had said three moves, and it was truly three moves.
Wei Yi spoke coolly, "You lost."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the last remnants of his inner energy poured into his sword. The Green Scythe Sword trembled, transforming its thrust into a strike that slammed into Qian Tonghe's chest, sending him crashing off the platform, tumbling helplessly to the ground below.
Wei Yi won!
Qian Tonghe lost!
In that moment, the entire academy, once filled with noise and chatter, fell into complete silence. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. A thousand students and instructors stood frozen, eyes wide, staring at the scene before them.
They looked at Wei Yi standing triumphantly on the platform.
They also looked at the fallen Qian Tonghe, lying dazed on the ground below.
The looks in their eyes were complex and unspoken.
...
"How is this possible?"
"Wei Yi... how did he become so powerful all of a sudden?"
As everyone stood in shock, many couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. Among them were Sun Wenxuan, Wang Zitao, and the students from Class Eight...
They had all, at one point, mocked and ridiculed Wei Yi when he was at his lowest.
Back then, they all believed that Wei Yi's cultivation path was blocked, and he would remain a worthless failure forever. They didn't think much of him.
But now, to their astonishment, Wei Yi had not only turned his life around but had exploded with remarkable talent and power. Even Qian Tonghe, a teacher, couldn't handle him. If Wei Yi harbored any grudges and sought revenge, what would they do?
"I need to head to the North Campus immediately and inform my brother."
Sun Wenxuan gritted his teeth and rushed toward the North Campus.
He didn't dare to remain in this campus any longer. With Wei Yi's current strength, he was sure he wouldn't be able to withstand even one strike. He didn't dare to face Wei Yi anymore...
"How is this possible? Wei Yi, that waste... he actually defeated Instructor Qian."
"If my sister finds out..."
Zhang Xueqian's younger sister, Zhang Xuelian, turned pale with shock.
After a brief pause, she, like Sun Wenxuan, rushed to the campus where her sister was.
Of course, they weren't the only ones reacting.
Many people connected to Wei Yi quickly reacted in various ways.
The news of Wei Yi's rise, and his victory over Qian Tonghe, quickly spread like wildfire throughout the True Martial Academy.
The higher-ups in the academy soon learned the news.
It was clear now that Wei Yi had solved the problem of his bloodline and could cultivate. Moreover, his cultivation talent was at an extraordinary level, and he had even awakened his bloodline power.
Such a genius could not be expelled. Instead, the academy would do everything in its power to retain him.
The first to arrive was one of the vice principals, Zhu Yuanhe, who happened to be Zhu Linger's uncle.
"Wei Yi, regarding the false rumors, the academy will resolve them as soon as possible."
"You don't need to worry. Focus on your studies and cultivation. With your extraordinary talent, the academy won't expel you. On the contrary, we'll offer you every possible support."
Zhu Yuanhe gave Wei Yi a direct assurance.
As vice principal, he had the authority to make such promises.
"Of course, if you have any other requests, feel free to bring them up. The academy will do its best to accommodate you."
The academy's attitude towards cultivation failures and geniuses was obviously very different.
But this was only natural, and Wei Yi didn't pay it much mind.
"Thank you, Vice Principal Zhu. I don't have any other requests, just a class transfer."
Wei Yi spoke.
After all that had happened, he naturally didn't want to stay in Class Eight.
"Join Class Three."
Before Zhu Yuanhe could speak, Zhu Linger immediately spoke up.
In an instant, both Wei Yi and Zhu Yuanhe turned to look at her.
Zhu Linger's face flushed crimson, and she shyly added, "Well, I was just saying it casually…"
Zhu Yuanhe glanced at Wei Yi and then at his niece, smiling, "No problem. Instructor Hu from Class Three would be more than happy to accept such a talented student."
With the vice principal personally making arrangements, Instructor Hu would have no choice but to accept Wei Yi.
Ding! Player Wei Yi has completed the mission [Stay in the Academy]. Would you like to claim your reward?
At the same moment, a system notification rang in Wei Yi's mind.
