Ding—Player Wei Yi has triggered the quest "An Eye for an Eye."
Quest Requirements: Seek vengeance on those who have previously bullied or insulted you.
Quest Duration: Three days.
Quest Rewards: 5,000 cultivation experience, 5,000 martial arts experience.
The game system seemed intent on not allowing Wei Yi a moment of rest. Just as one task concluded, another new one was immediately issued.
The rewards of cultivation experience and martial arts experience were substantial, and Wei Yi naturally would not let such an opportunity slip by.
For him, experience points were the foundation of his ascension, the most crucial path to enhancing his strength, and thus, he would never find himself begrudging them.
"However, who should I seek revenge on from the past?"
Wei Yi pondered over his potential targets in silence.
"Ah, of course."
"Sun Wen Zong and his brother!"
Upon recalling the misdeeds of these two brothers, Wei Yi immediately abandoned all other considerations.
He had originally planned to take revenge on them once his strength had increased. However, his expulsion by Qian Tong He had delayed his plans, and it was evident that Qian Tong He had been influenced by Sun Wen Zong and his brother to take such drastic measures. Now, with this new quest, he could settle both old and new scores simultaneously—a perfect opportunity.
Once Instructor Hu's martial arts class concluded, Wei Yi bid farewell to Zhu Linger and Yang Qingqing, then stealthily slipped away.
Although Sun Wen Zong was not in the same campus as him, his brother, Sun Wen Yuan, was at the same campus.
However, Wei Yi had greatly underestimated Sun Wen Yuan's level of cowardice.
After witnessing the intense battle between him and Qian Tong He the previous day, Sun Wen Yuan had been terrified of Wei Yi's possible revenge. He had fled then, and never returned.
"Sun Wen Yuan isn't in class, nor is he in the dormitory."
"He left yesterday, probably went to see his older brother. You could try the North Campus," someone casually shared the information.
"To Sun Wen Zong's place?"
"Ha! The monk might run, but the temple is still here. I'll go look for Sun Wen Zong then."
Hearing that Sun Wen Yuan had fled, Wei Yi didn't care. Compared to the already beaten Sun Wen Yuan, the real person he wanted to punish was Sun Wen Zong.
This was because many of Sun Wen Yuan's actions had been instigated by his older brother.
The true enemy, the one who bore the grudge, was Sun Wen Zong.
"Looks like the Sun brothers are in for some misfortune."
As Wei Yi turned to leave, his expression dark and determined, the person who had spoken couldn't help but shudder and whispered to those around him.
"The Sun brothers aren't easy to deal with, especially Sun Wen Zong. He's a third-year student, and it's said he's already reached the tenth tier of Martial Disciple, with advanced cultivation techniques and martial skills," someone nearby couldn't help but counter.
"But can he be stronger than Wei Yi?" The person on the far left chuckled.
At that moment, everyone fell silent.
Indeed, could anyone be stronger than Wei Yi?
Even Qian Tong He, a ninth-tier Martial Master, had been defeated by Wei Yi. The Sun brothers were certainly no match for him.
"The tide turns, and the Sun brothers, who have been so arrogant for so long, are bound to meet their comeuppance."
...
When Wei Yi arrived at the North Campus, class had just finished.
With his growing reputation at True Martial Academy, the sight of him entering caused many to look on in surprise.
"Wei Yi? What's he doing here?"
"Don't know."
"Didn't he challenge Instructor Qian Tong He yesterday and win? Is that true?"
"Seems like it. Maybe he's here to challenge some other instructor today?"
True Martial Academy, being a martial arts school, was renowned for its strong martial spirit. To help students gain combat experience, the academy not only allowed duels, but actively encouraged them, as long as no permanent injuries were sustained.
However, such challenges typically occurred between students.
A student challenging an instructor?
Wei Yi was the first to set that precedent.
As Wei Yi walked in with purposeful strides, the instructors in the North Campus couldn't help but feel uneasy, fearing that he might challenge one of them. A match with a student held no benefits for them, but a loss would result in the same humiliation as Instructor Qian Tong He.
Fortunately, Wei Yi didn't stop before them, which allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Third-year, Class Nine."
Wei Yi knew exactly where Sun Wen Zong's class was and didn't waste any time.
He soon arrived at the Martial Arts Training Hall for Third-Year, Class Nine.
At this time, many students were still lingering around, and Sun Wen Zong was among them, chatting and laughing with a few of the boys.
"Wei Yi?"
Sun Wen Zong hadn't noticed his arrival, but the others in the training hall immediately did, and some couldn't help but exclaim.
Hearing the exclamation, Sun Wen Zong lifted his head, and when he saw Wei Yi suddenly standing at the entrance, his expression darkened immediately.
"Wei Yi, what are you doing here?"
"Heh, what do you think I'm here for?" Wei Yi grinned, asking with amusement.
Seeing Wei Yi's bold demeanor, Sun Wen Zong's heart sank slightly.
He was already aware of Wei Yi's dramatic victory over Qian Tong He the previous day. His younger brother Sun Wen Yuan had even come to find him, but Sun Wen Zong hadn't taken it seriously, believing Wei Yi wouldn't dare do anything to him.
Yet, he hadn't expected that after boasting about it yesterday, Wei Yi would show up at his door the very next day.
"Wei Yi, this is North Campus, Class Nine, not your East Campus. Don't get too arrogant," one of the Class Nine students barked threateningly.
"Exactly, don't think you can act recklessly just because you had some success yesterday. You can still leave peacefully, or else you'll regret it," another student chimed in with a similar threat.
Wei Yi shot a glance at the two who had spoken, completely uninterested in engaging with them.
"Sun Wen Zong, speak. Do you want to settle this outside the arena or right here? Choose one."
"Either way, you're not getting away today. Our grievances need to be settled once and for all."
At these words, Wei Yi revealed a toothy grin, but there was no mirth in his eyes.
Sun Wen Zong's face turned pale with rage.
He had always been the one bullying others. When had he ever been treated with such arrogance, especially by someone like Wei Yi? His anger surged to the boiling point.
"Wei Yi, don't push it."
Sun Wen Zong squinted his eyes, gritting his teeth as he coldly spoke.
"Push it?" Wei Yi chuckled softly, "No matter how much I push, it's nothing compared to what you've done. You know full well the kind of things you've done. Don't pretend like you weren't the one manipulating Qian Tong He behind the scenes."
"Like I said, you can't escape today. Whatever you did to me in the past, it's time to repay that debt."
"You can either lose face outside in the arena, or you can be carried out of this classroom. You don't have a third option..."
As Wei Yi finished speaking, the crowd exchanged looks in silence.
Sun Wen Zong's eyes flickered as he exchanged glances with the others. They subtly nodded to one another.
"To hell with it, let's take him down!"
"Go!"
Sun Wen Zong shouted, and with that, five or six boys, including him, charged at Wei Yi.
Two of them grabbed chairs and hurled them at Wei Yi with all their might.
The others flanked him from all directions, moving with the speed and agility of predators, each of them locking their sights firmly on Wei Yi.
"Hmph, they won't cry until they see the coffin."
Wei Yi showed no fear at all. With a cold snort, he leapt into the air, delivering two powerful kicks that shattered the chairs into pieces. At the same time, he activated the Purple Mist Manual, and his inner energy surged with force, instantly enveloping the entire training hall in a powerful martial aura.
The bodies of everyone present involuntarily sank, and their faces shifted in shock.
"All of you together? Even if he's a Martial Master, we can still overwhelm him!" Sun Wen Zong barked in fury.
At the same time, he threw a punch at Wei Yi.
