Chapter 244: Invincible

Shang Xia’s two strikes were executed perfectly. He didn’t utilize any sort of sword light, but they were more eye-catching than any type of sword light summoned by any of those present.

That was how it assisted Huang Xing in taking the final step. The perfected stabs found the weakness in his attacks, allowing him to find a way to patch up his weakness.

In order for something like that to happen, the difference between the two of them wasn’t simply large. It was comparable to the distance between the heavens and the earth!

The moment Huang Xing stepped into the grand completion stage of the Martial Extremity Realm, he understood the difference between the two of them. Admitting defeat immediately, he thanked Shang Xia before taking his leave.

The disciples who were gathered in the plaza stared at Shang Xia with a burning gaze after watching how Huang Xing broke through with several pointers. The moment Huang Xing took his leave, countless disciples swarmed Shang Xia.

“I am Liao Qingfeng of the Beihai Institution. I hope to receive Chief Shang’s pointers.” A challenge rang through the air and the disciple who spoke leaped into the air. A pair of familiar-looking copper truncheons slammed down towards Shang Xia’s skull.

Shang Xia clearly didn’t expect his simple actions of pointing out some flaws in Huang Xing’s cultivation technique to cause so many people to challenge him.

Out of the five institutions, the Tongyou Institution was the only one with a 3-6 years education period. The other four institutions had different ways of nurturing their students.

Unlike the Tongyou Institution with outer, inner, and upper divisions, the other institutions focused more on their disciple’s cultivation level. They might be split into ordinary, elite, and even direct disciples of various teachers.

Whatever it was, the greatest difference between their methods and those of the Tongyou Institution was that the Tongyou Institution could churn out many more experts every year. Now that they experienced a huge victory in the battlefield between the two worlds, they would expand their intake of students immediately while lowering the barrier of advancing into the inner and upper decisions respectively.

The other institutions were more focused on the quality of their disciples. They poured resources into promising disciples despite their already huge disciple base. Disciples would face a huge barrier when they tried to be promoted to the next level. That was also the reason disciples of the other institutions would become desperate after staying at their current level for a long time. They wanted nothing more than to improve themselves!

That was the reason behind their enthusiasm after they saw how Shang Xia assisted Huang Xing in breaking through his bottleneck. Liao Qingfeng was clearly someone who thought he was smarter than the rest by attacking without any warning. He felt that Shang Xia would have to fight him now that he struck first.

He was clearly stupid. His actions only caused Shang Xia to feel unhappy.

Willingness to point Huang Xing in the correct direction was one thing, but becoming a stepping stone for others to challenge as they like in order to break through was another.

Without any intention to give Liao Qingfeng any pointers at all, he simply sent out a ray of sword light in response.

As Liao Qingfeng slammed his truncheons downwards, the world around him started spinning. Before he knew it, his weapon was flying through the air. In his state of shock, he felt another wave of energy slamming into him and he was soaring through the air before he knew it.

It took barely a breath of time before he was sent flying. There were many people who didn’t even know what happened.

However, Liao Qingfeng’s actions started a chain reaction. A second cultivator soon jumped out at Shang Xia.

“Zheng Huaiwen of the Yanmen Institution requests your teachings, Chief Shang!” His attack was slightly more insidious than Liao Qingfeng. In the air, two flying needles shot out at Shang Xia.

With his palm trembling slightly, Shang Xia drew a circle in the air with his Jade Creek Sword. A ball of energy surrounded the needles. When that happened, the space around them seemed to turn solid and the needles found it hard to advance.

In the next instant, they were sent flying back.

Zheng Huaiwen, who was in mid air, found it impossible to dodge. He could only throw two more needles out to deflect the ones he threw earlier. Sparks flew through the air when the needles collided.

Even then, Zheng Huaiwen’s expression changed drastically and he forcefully circulated his inner qi. Risking inner injuries, he twisted his body to the side.

Two soft hisses passed his ear and two tiny holes appeared in his clothes. Flailing unsteadily through the air, he crashed into the ground below.

Just like that, he dealt with Zheng Huaiwen with one move.

Now, even more people came. The instant Zheng Huaiwen hit the ground, the third person appeared. “Su Yufei of the Jianmen Institution…”

“Jia Junle of the Wuwei Institution…”

“Junior Brother Shang, take my blade!”

Shang Xia couldn’t be bothered with the first two. However, the last one really ticked him off.

A trace of irritation filled Shang Xia’s heart.

“What’s this?! Do you think this granddaddy here is opening some charity breakthrough center?! You guys are stuck in your own bottleneck, what the fuck do I have to do with it?!” He didn’t wish to be bothered by everyone the entire time, and a strange rage filled his heart. A silver light emerged from his Jade Creek Sword and it spun once around him.

In the next instant, countless sword lights and strands of sword qi erupted with Shang Xia as the center and flooded outwards. It filled the space around him.

The three of them who leaped out at him felt the blood draining from their faces as they closed their eyes to await death. Due to the shock they felt, they completely forgot to dodge.

As the torrent of sword lights closed in on them, they turned illusory and dissipated before causing any real harm.

Only then did most people in the plaza discover the changes in the battlefield. Only a few blind souls decided to continue charging towards Shang Xia.

With the frustration in his heart reaching its peak, the restriction talisman Shang Xia placed on himself finally fell off. His strength reached the peak instantly as bolts of lightning emerged from the tip of his sword. It formed a giant web that enclosed the area thirty feet around him, forcing everyone back.
