Chapter 245: Boss Fight

Silence returned to the plaza once again.

“Everyone.” Shang Xia spoke, drawing everyone’s attention once again. “I’ve been in seclusion this whole time and I heard that led to many misunderstandings between the disciples of the other institutions and students of our Tongyou Institution. Now that I have emerged from my seclusion, I am here to clear up these misunderstandings. I can’t do this alone. I hope you are also willing to cooperate with me, and those who hope to break through by challenging me can refrain from stepping out. I don’t have time to play around with you guys. Why don’t the various senior brothers and sisters here who have entered the Martial Intent Realm step out instead?”

The moment he spoke, the expressions of many disciples of the Tongyou Institution turned complicated.

In the days that passed, Shang Xia had been getting ready for his breakthrough. The most talented disciples of the Tongyou Institution were mostly stationed in the battlefield between the two worlds and were unable to return on short notice. As such, most of the disciples left in the institution had been mercilessly suppressed by the disciples of the other institutions. They were in a miserable state indeed.

One had to know that they were currently in the Tongyou Institution! Being suppressed in their home turf wasn’t exactly a glorious matter.

That was precisely the reason why they had a really bad impression of Shang Xia. They felt that he wasn’t taking responsibility for the trouble he had caused.

Even though he had been preparing to enter the Martial Intent Realm, many disciples still felt that he was using it as an excuse to avoid taking responsibility for the situation.

Despite their feelings, many of them subconsciously anticipated the scene where he suppressed the disciples of the other institutions when he arrived. Even though their gazes were filled with disgust, they were silently hoping for him to deal with the injustice they were facing. They wanted nothing more than for him to teach them a serious lesson.

The contradiction caused many of their expressions to change now that he was challenging the Martial Intent Realm experts of the other institutions.

When he appeared, he suppressed his cultivation to the large completion stage of the Martial Extremity Realm and managed to defeat Huang Xing in two strikes. That wasn’t the end. Not only did he defeat the other party, but his moves also allowed Huang Xing to be enlightened, stepping into the grand completion stage of the Martial Extremity Realm. Next, he easily dealt with several disciples of the other institutions jumping out at him.

With his strength, he suppressed the entire plaza singlehandedly, venting the frustrations the disciples of the Tongyou Institutions had been festering in their bellies for the past month or so.

Cheers for him eventually emerged from the lips of several disciples of the Tongyou Institution. They only fell short of calling him their invincible leader.

…

When Shang Xia challenged the Martial Intent Realm disciples of the other institutions, the Martial Extermination Realm experts who were observing the situation silently in the building beside the plaza started their discussion again.

“This kid seems to be a little cocky now that he defeated several Martial Extremity Realm disciples in succession. Hmph, didn’t he break through not long ago?” Elder An Baimei of the Beihai Institution frowned.

He didn’t like disciples who liked to show off. In fact, he preferred those who progressed steadily while maintaining their humble attitude.

In his eyes, Shang Xia’s actions were a little too presumptuous.

.

Speaking of breaking through not too long ago, Han Chongwei of the Weiwu Institution from the Liang Continent also entered the Martial Extermination Realm not too long ago. He had a fierce and mighty appearance, but in reality, he was the most junior member among those present.

When he heard what Elder An said, he chose to express his displeasure too. “Hah, when he kid sealed his cultivation earlier, not even Martial Intent Realm disciples will be able to match up to him. Now that he released the seal on his cultivation, he’s even stronger than before.”

Glancing at Han Chongwei from the corner of his eye, An Baimei muttered indifferently, “Elder Han, do you not have confidence in your own disciples? The difference between cultivators in the Martial Extremity Realm and the Martial Realm is huge, much less the distance between a Martial Extremity Realm cultivator and one in the Martial Intent Realm. He might be an outstanding disciple at the Martial Extremity Realm, but after entering the Martial Intent Realm, he might not be stronger than those who had consolidated their foundations and reached higher accomplishments. Which one of our disciples here isn’t geniuses? Do you think ordinary Martial Intent Realm cultivators can compare to them? Much less some kid who barely broke through.”

Chuckling in response, Han Chongwei decided not to argue with An Baimei.

Deputy Patriarch Yu Chengjin of the Jianmen Institution of the Shu Continent spoke up at that moment to address Ji Wenlong. “Brother Ji, what do you think?”

A smile appeared on Ji Wenlong’s face as he laughed in amusement, “They’re just kids playing around, why do we care so much about who’s going to come out on top?”

Chang Huaiwu of the Yanmen Institution from the Bing Continent turned to Ji Wenlong with a crafty smile and suggested, “Since that’s the case, why don’t we make a few friendly wagers?”

…

Due to the lack of bountiful resources, the Tongyou Institution focused on letting their students fend for themselves. The other institutions had a different way of education. When the disciples of the other institutions reached a certain level, the path of advancement would become fairly narrow.

The method the other institutions adopted was to focus on inheritances. Elite disciples would accept a teacher and receive their inheritance.

Even though the higher leveled disciples of the other four institutions took a huge hit in numbers, those who remained were able to experience a rapid increase in strength once they received their teacher’s inheritance. They would also be specially nurtured by the institution, allowing them to maintain a high level of combat strength.

When Shang Xia challenged the Martial Intent Realm disciples of the four institutions, four individuals stepped out.

One had to know that they were currently in the Tongyou City. There was no way the other institutions brought everyone they had. With four of them present, the difference between the institutions was clear.

The number of disciples in the upper division of the Tongyou Institution who had reached the grand completion stage of the Martial Extremity Realm was high. However, Shang Xia only knew one of those who had broken through to the Martial Intent Realm recently, Sun Haiwei.

Before he returned from the battlefield between the two worlds, he heard that Tian Mengzi was preparing to attack the bottleneck of the Martial Intent Realm too. However, he hadn’t heard anything since. He wondered if Tian Mengzi succeeded.

Despite the difference in teaching styles between the Tongyou Institution and the other four institutions, one couldn’t say that the Tongyou Institution was worse. After all, the institution had a rule to state the longest one could remain as a student was six years. There were many who completed their education in the Tongyou Institution in three short years, and they would leave to begin their own adventures.

The disciples of the other institutions were clearly receiving different treatment. Elite disciples who found a master in the institution could remain for a long time. As long as their master didn’t recognize their ability and strength, they wouldn’t be allowed to graduate.

That was the reason behind the lack of Martial Intent Realm disciples in the Tongyou Institution. In contrast, Martial Intent Realm disciples were easily seen in the other institutions.

Seeing the four disciples who came from their respective institutions, Shang Xia raised an eyebrow in surprise. “How may I address senior brothers and sisters?”

“Disciple of the Jianmen Institution, Song Yuzhi.”

“Yanmen Institution, Qin Daxing.”

“I am Tan Xinya of the Beihai Institution.”

“Ma Jianfan of the Weiwu Institution.”
