Super War God in the City

Lei Ming and his companions felt a mighty tremor in their hearts when Ling Fan turned his attention to them. Their knees buckled, and they knelt to the ground.

Qi Xiumin's complexion was ashen as she stood nervously to the side, feeling as though she hadn't offended Zi Qiong's people too much. After all, she had only secured her entry slot into Zhongnan by clinging to Wu Cai.

"There shouldn't… be any issue concerning me, I suppose!" Qi Xiumin's chest heaved as she spoke.

Luo Ta stood by without kneeling, for in his view, to kneel was to face death.

The surrounding crowd turned their gaze to the few in front of the Fighting Stage, sneering. Setting aside others, the trio led by Lei Ming was particularly loathsome, always acting like flatterers. Now they were indeed getting a slap in the face.

"Pah, traitors, what trash!" someone spat vehemently.

"Damn it, get the hell out of our Martial Arts Academy. We don't harbor garbage bootlickers, idiots!" the academy's crowd rebuked them in unison.

As the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. With Zhu Qing's death, Lei Ming's group of bootlickers had completely fallen from grace. They had failed as sycophants and now had to face the consequences.

"Ling... Great God Ling, we were wrong. We won't dare do it again. Please, let bygones be bygones and spare our lives!" Lei Ming begged, his forehead touching the ground repeatedly, though his heart was bleeding.

This time, their dignity was completely lost, scraping the ground of every last shred of self-respect.

"Hmph, you should've known better than to do what you did!" the crowd jeered.

Zhao Yin and Shen Li trembled on the ground like chaff, terrified that Ling Fan would kill them with a single palm strike.

"Boss, such trash doesn't deserve your effort. Just give the order, and decide whether these fools should live or die!" Jiang Shi said, stepping forward with a three-section staff in hand.

Seeing this, Lei Ming and the others were petrified, knocking their heads on the ground furiously like pounding garlic.

The onlookers in the stands remained silent, with Qi He and others naturally respecting any decision Ling Fan made.

However, the academy's president and Director Shen hesitated. Reasonably, the school forbade fatalities, at least it didn't allow student casualties on campus.

Faced with Ling Fan, the two could only heave a sigh internally, giving up the idea. It was more practical to think about how to handle the aftermath if Ling Fan decided to kill these men.

Ling Fan found these minions too uninteresting to bother with. Killing them seemed too dirty for his hands, yet not punishing them appeared to let them get off far too easily!

Suddenly, he flashed toward them, and in the blink of an eye, he was near. Raising his foot, 'bang, bang, bang,' he kicked them away, then swiftly appeared in front of Luo Ta.

Luo Ta was profoundly shocked and ready to counterattack, but he was no match for Ling Fan and was similarly sent flying.

Watching the men being kicked away as if it was an insignificant act, Ling Fan said indifferently, "Today is just a punishment. First, I'll ruin your energy channels and cultivation so you can forget about cultivating martial arts in the future. If there is a next time, you will die!"

Luo Ta felt an excruciating pain in his stomach and watched as the vital energy within him disintegrated and vanished, turning his face pale as paper. In his eyes, being deprived of cultivation made him no different from a cripple.

"My… my cultivation has been destroyed?" Luo Ta muttered numbly.

Lei Ming and the others curled up like cooked shrimps, bowing on the ground, their dreams of advancing as martial artists dashed. Their energy channels had been directly destroyed by Ling Fan's True Essence Power.

However, their cultivation was so weak that beyond the acute pain in their bodies, they felt nothing else.

"Roll back to your Zhu Family and deliver a message. In three days, I will annihilate your Zhu Family!" Ling Fan said with a faint glance at Luo Ta, then paid him no further attention.

Hearing this, Luo Ta looked completely ashen, soulless. "The... Zhu Family is doomed too?"

"Old Qi, I suppose this assessment is over, isn' it?" Ling Fan looked toward Qi He.

"Cough cough... I have twenty slots available, whom would you like to bring? However, if their cultivation is too low, going might not be a good thing," Qi He coughed lightly, reminding him.

Ling Fan nodded. "When do we leave?"

"Immediately!" Qi He responded.

"Give me a moment to consider, wait for me!"

"Sure, take your time," Qi He replied.

Ling Fan turned and scanned the crowd of the Martial Arts Academy, finally resting his eyes on Fan Zhan and two others. "You three, come here!"

The other eager attendees of the Martial Arts Academy, skilled in their own right, looked on with earnest faces. Ling Fan couldn't possibly take up all twenty slots; there were still several vacancies.

Zhongnan Academy was said to be incredible, who wouldn't want to get in?

```

Qi He in the stands noticed the eager anticipation among the crowd and shook his head, then couldn't help but remind them once more, "Although there are twenty places available, the minimum entry threshold is a First Grade martial artist. Those below First Grade need not even consider it!"

Upon hearing this, the originally hopeful crowd below instantly felt a sense of loss, completely dismissing the thought.

Even Su Qiong, Zhou Siyu, Xu Miaotong, and the others from Zi Qiong, filled with longing in their eyes, were now utterly disappointed.

Ling Fan saw this and shook his head as well, speaking indifferently, "In the Martial Arts World, it's survival of the fittest, the weak are prey to the strong. If your cultivation isn't enough, don't entertain any superfluous thoughts. To go would simply be courting death.

In the Secular World, murder is still a crime, but in the Martial Arts World, human life is no more significant than grass. This is why people like Zhu Qing, because they are from the Martial Arts World, meet such fates.

So, when I kill them, I don't have to bear the legal consequences, but I will face their families' pursuit of vengeance and retaliation!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone felt a chill and thoroughly extinguished any thoughts of going to Zhongnan.

Fan Zhan and the other two who had initially hurried over with excitement couldn't help but have their expressions change slightly, "Boss, does that mean we are..."

"Don't worry, you guys can still go. When the time comes, just focus on cultivating well!" Ling Fan nodded lightly, offering reassurance.

Upon hearing Ling Fan's encouraging affirmation, the three of them finally relaxed.

After pondering for a moment, Ling Fan glanced at Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu, "Do you two want to go?"

The two looked at each other, both surprised and delighted, stammering, "We... Are we capable?"

Ling Fan had always felt guilty toward Su Qiong's family and was willing to lend a hand when he could. After all, advancing at Zhongnan Academy would be beneficial for them.

As for Zhou Siyu, the girl was from the Zhou Family, and their loyalty towards him was reliable; helping her was simply a matter of convenience.

Wu Rao on the stands sneered inwardly, murmured critically, "Hmph, men are all the same!"

She had noticed that these two girls hadn't reached the martial artist realm, and yet Ling Fan was willing to take them with him. It must be because they were pretty, harboring the same intentions as with that Zhu Qing before.

Qi He seemed hesitant to speak, finally sighing. He had already given his warning.

Nevertheless, considering Ling Fan's abilities, protecting them at the academy wouldn't be a problem!

"Ling Fan, their cultivation is too weak. They aren't even in the martial artist realm. If you forcibly take them, you'll only end up harming them.

Besides, once at the academy, the Elders won't agree to it!" Wu Rao couldn't help but speak out to remind Ling Fan.

Hearing this, Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu immediately showed disappointment and nervously said to Ling Fan, "Ling Fan, forget it. We won't go."

Ling Fan smiled faintly, "You two, come here!"

As he spoke, he took out two elixirs from his belongings and passed them over, "Swallow these and stay close to me!"

The two women took the elixirs without doubt and consumed them right away.

Ling Fan didn't say another word. His True Essence flowed within him as he placed his hands on their shoulders. A scorching True Essence Power infused their bodies, guiding the medicinal effects to manifest.

It took no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea for the two women to seem transformed, as if they had undergone a rebirth.

"See, now they're in the martial artist realm, aren't they?" Ling Fan said with a light smile.

He then threw three more elixirs to Fan Zhan and the others, "Take these. By the time we reach the academy, your injuries should be healed, and your cultivation will have further improved!"

The onlookers were baffled, with Qi He and Wu Rao on the stands also staring agape.

Although this method of using external forces to boost cultivation was not a novel concept, achieving it in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea was unheard of.

Helping someone advance their cultivation safely and across the threshold of the martial artist realm without damaging their foundation, would usually be impossible without a month's time!

"You... By doing this, you're hastening their growth at the expense of their foundations. It will damage their future cultivation!" Wu Rao swallowed and couldn't help but point out.

This guy was infuriating; he was willing to compromise the foundations of two beauties just to have them accompany him to the academy. He was no better than Zhu Qing, his character just as despicable!

Ling Fan chuckled softly, indifferently replying, "My methods are harmless to their foundations, beyond your comprehension!"

Wu Rao, "...."

Qi He, "...."
