Martial Defiance Across Nine Thousand Realms

Lu Yunxiao was utterly frustrated to the extreme.

He could never have imagined that a mere menial disciple he once trampled on at will would become so strong in just a few days.

"What do you say, Lu Yunxiao? Do you admit defeat?" Ye Han looked at him indifferently.

"I do not!"

Lu Yunxiao's voice was shrill: "You must be a spy. Ye Han, I see through you completely. You're finished."

"If you don't admit defeat, I'll beat you until you do!"

Ye Han stepped forward, his fist crushing down on the spot.

Boom!!!

A violent surge of energy mixed with divine power blasted into Lu Yunxiao's body.

Lu Yunxiao screamed in agony. The power of Ye Han was beyond what a Third Layer Divine Power Realm martial artist like him could imagine.

"Still not admitting defeat?"

Ye Han threw another punch, knocking several of Lu Yunxiao's teeth out.

As Ye Han relentlessly pounded punch after punch, all the menial disciples around were stunned.

Such a scene was unheard of, let alone seen.

The proud Outer Sect disciple, Lu Yunxiao of the Third Layer Divine Power Realm, was brutally beaten by a menial disciple who had only joined the Academy a few days ago, without the slightest ability to fight back.

"What a disgrace!"

"More than ten years in the sect, and still just an Outer Sect disciple."

"Living every day as a lackey for others, showing off your might in front of a bunch of menial disciples?"

A fierce look appeared on Ye Han's face: "You've come to me, which means you're seeking death. Even if you hadn't come for me today, I would have come for you, to kill you with my own hands, to let you understand that there are some people you can provoke and some you cannot."

Lu Yunxiao's face was covered in blood, his divine power scattered, already powerless to resist. He now forced his eyes open, his gaze filled with resentment as he looked at Ye Han.

He suddenly pulled out a token from his bosom.

"Dog thing, this is senior sister Yin's token. If you dare to touch me, she will not let you off," Lu Yunxiao howled miserably.

"Senior sister Yin again?"

"Are you her grandson? So concerned about her."

Ye Han was extremely disgusted and with a raise of his hand, he directly smashed the token to pieces.

A mere broken token used to intimidate others, as if she was an inviolable existence, as if the Academy belonged to her?

With a wave of his hand, blood splattered three feet!

Lu Yunxiao's Qi Sea was shattered by a punch, his screams echoing through Divine Power Peak.

"You will not die a good death...!"

Lu Yunxiao had completely lost his mind. With his Qi Sea destroyed, he was truly crippled, and from now on, anyone could trample on him.

Ye Han no longer paid attention to him but turned to look at the many menial disciples present:

"Lu Yunxiao, relying on his seniority, acted recklessly, oppressing us menial disciples. Who among you wants to strike at him? Now is your chance."

Everyone present was silent, all bowing their heads.

"I will!"

Zhao Yijian suddenly stood up, grabbed a whip not far away, and lashed down fiercely.

The already crippled Lu Yunxiao screamed continuously, struggling and cursing.

Unfortunately, the harsher he cursed, the harder Zhao Yijian struck.

Nie Yuan and He Qingfeng exchanged glances and also stood up, gritting their teeth and stomping down on Lu Yunxiao...

The three of them were red-eyed with rage. Before Ye Han arrived, they had been tormented by Lu Yunxiao, and now they were returning the favor.

At some point, Nie Yuan was the first to snap out of it, staring at Lu Yunxiao on the ground, his expression changing.

He hurriedly pulled Zhao Yijian and He Qingfeng back: "If we continue, he'll die!"

"Don't worry!"

Ye Han looked at the three of them: "Lu Yunxiao bullied you all because of me. This matter is on me."

The three fell silent, their expressions changing, their hearts conflicted.

Suddenly, Nie Yuan spoke: "Brother Ye Han, no need for words. Lu Yunxiao was reckless and didn't treat us as humans. I only regret that I lacked the strength. Today, taking this chance to vent our anger, if the Academy blames us, I share the responsibility."

"Indeed, we've shared hardships. If you bear this alone, I wouldn't be at peace. My future cultivation would be hindered, and my path in the sword would be doomed," Zhao Yijian also said.

"I share the blame too!" He Qingfeng grinned.

The others had long since kept their distance, watching Nie Yuan and the others with mocking eyes. These few were only half a month earlier than Ye Han in joining the Academy, young and impulsive, just greenhorns.

They probably didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. It had always been the Outer Sect disciples trampling on the menial disciples. Who had ever dared to defy the hierarchy?

"You're all thinking too much!" Ye Han smiled: "It's just a small matter."

With that, he turned to Nie Yuan: "I want to advance to an Outer Sect disciple, where should I go?"

"What?"

"You're actually going to become an Outer Sect disciple?" Nie Yuan and the others looked at Ye Han in surprise.

"Indeed, I've already stepped into the First Layer of the Divine Power Realm. Otherwise, how could I have had the chance to defeat Lu Yunxiao?" Ye Han said calmly.

"Great, great, great. Ye Han, if you become an Outer Sect disciple, today's matter really is a small issue," Nie Yuan said excitedly. "Advancing to an Outer Sect disciple is simple, just go to the training ground."

Ye Han: "Lead the way."

...

Cycle Academy, training ground.

Looking around, the entire training ground covered at least a thousand acres, with countless disciples gathered, sweating profusely.

The most eye-catching in the field were the hundred purple steles, with many disciples in front of each one, some constantly throwing punches, hitting the steles as if practicing Martial Skills.

"It's so big?"

Arriving at the training ground, Ye Han was immensely shocked.

Just one training ground was as large as dozens of Ye Family estates, almost half the size of Flame City.

"Yes, and this is only where the menial and Outer Sect disciples practice."

Nie Yuan said beside him: "In the Academy, as long as one becomes an Inner Sect disciple, they will have their own mountain peak. The mountain peak has everything one needs, and there's no need to come to such a place."

"Their own mountain peak?" Ye Han looked at Nie Yuan.@@novelbin@@

"Indeed, it's said that those mountain peaks have powerful Inscription arrays that can gather the divine power of heaven and earth, the energy of the earth's veins, transforming the entire mountain peak into the most suitable place for cultivation."

"In them, you can plant medicinal herbs, raise Monster Beasts, practice martial arts, comfortably and naturally, without disturbance."

Nie Yuan spoke of these with longing in his eyes.

For most disciples of the Academy, the biggest dream was to one day become an Inner Sect disciple, owning their own mountain peak.

"Those steles, are they for practicing Martial Skills?"

Ye Han was like a country bumpkin entering the city, full of unfamiliarity and yearning.

To speak of it, he had just joined the Academy and had already been to Demon Ridge, not familiar with the Academy.

"No, those are called Inscription Steles, used for testing realms and divine power. The Inscription Steles can let us know our progress at any time," Nie Yuan explained.

"Interesting!"

A gleam of interest appeared in Ye Han's eyes.

"See them? Outside the training ground, under those nine ancient trees, are the teachers responsible for our disciples' promotion," Nie Yuan pointed out not far away.

"Good!"

Ye Han walked forward.

Approaching the first ancient tree, a middle-aged man was half-squinting, yawning listlessly.

"Elder, I wish to advance to an Outer Sect disciple and participate in the assessment," Ye Han said respectfully.

"Name, and let me see your identity token," the middle-aged man said languidly, as if still not fully awake.

"My name is Ye Han!"

Ye Han said, handing over his token.

"Hmm, that Inscription Stele beside you, punch with all your might. If you produce ten lines on the stele, you'll pass the assessment," the middle-aged man said succinctly.

Ye Han nodded, standing in front of the stele beside him, taking a deep breath, his heart somewhat excited.

He was finally going to become an Outer Sect disciple!

He had no worries about this assessment.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Ye Han was about to punch, a cold voice came from afar.
