76: Chuxiong arrives and strikes again

When Qin Ding, in his own courtyard, felt the Aura approaching, he understood the identity of the newcomer.

His figure flickered, and he left the courtyard, arriving at the entrance of the new Disciple area.

Immediately, Qin Ding began to assess Chu Xiong's Aura; the latter's Aura was much stronger than Chu Ba's, having already reached the limit of Soul Fire Realm Fifth Level, and he should be able to Breakthrough to Soul Fire Realm Sixth Level soon.

“You are Qin Ding.” When Chu Xiong saw Qin Ding appear, he also sized him up; the latter looked about fourteen years old, yet his Cultivation Realm had reached Soul Fire Realm First Level.

“Qin Ding, why don’t you properly be the Holy Son of the Desolate Ancient Families Qin Family, instead of running to our Saintly Way Academy to bully us weak Disciple with no background?”

Chu Xiong was extremely insidious, immediately trying to push Qin Ding to be an enemy of everyone in Saintly Way Academy.

Because it was well known that the vast majority of Disciple in Saintly Way Academy did not come from good backgrounds. Although they did not dislike Disciple from major powers, they certainly did not have much goodwill towards them.

What Chu Xiong wanted to imply was that Qin Ding, as the Holy Son of the Qin Family, was using his power to bully Chu Ba.

Although this was not the truth, Chu Xiong wanted to lead people to think in that direction.

As expected, after these words were spoken, many Disciple present frowned slightly.

Qin Ding, however, showed no panic, merely smiling faintly, “I do not agree with the word ‘bully’. He brought a group of senior Disciple to block the entrance of the new Disciple area, preventing new Disciple from leaving. That is why I intervened, and I first warned him, and then your younger brother proactively attacked, so I had no choice but to subdue him.”

“So, that’s your reason for publicly hanging my younger brother here? Even if he was wrong, your punishment is too humiliating, isn't it? I think you’re using this as an excuse to do it on purpose.” Chu Xiong said with a sinister gaze.

“You also know what it means to humiliate someone, huh? He wanted to block our thousands of new Disciple and threaten us not to leave. Isn't that humiliating? Doesn't that make people feel stifled? I heard that senior Disciple used to do this before. Everyone here has been a new Disciple. What was your feeling when you were blocked back then? You should know best in your hearts.”

“To cause discomfort to so many people, I think this small punishment is completely not excessive.”

Qin Ding's words made some of the observing senior Disciple recall when they, as new Disciple, were also blocked at the academy entrance when they first entered.

At that time, they, like these new Disciple not long ago, felt stifled and indignant, and some defiant ones who tried to force their way out were injured.

They also harbored great anger in their hearts at that time.

With this empathy, some senior Disciple who had originally sympathized with Chu Ba now looked on with a somewhat cold eye.

Chu Xiong also keenly sensed the change in the senior Disciple’s emotions and inwardly cried out that it was bad.

“Senior Disciple educating new Disciple every year is just an academy tradition.” Chu Xiong had already begun to show signs of not wanting to reason with Qin Ding.

“Is it right just because it has always been so? Who said that new Disciple deserve to be bullied by senior Disciple? Who said that newly admitted Disciple must accept being beaten? I think this kind of dross behavior should have been abolished long ago. I don't know how it was before, but as long as I am in the academy for a day, I will not let such a thing happen.”

Qin Ding's words directly made the new Disciple below applaud.

“Sharp-tongued. I will ask one question now: are you going to release him or not?” Chu Xiong had completely lost his patience and no longer wanted to reason with Qin Ding.

“They blocked the new Disciple area for about three days. I will hang him for three days too. After three days, I will naturally take him down.” Qin Ding’s stance was also firm.

“What if I insist on taking him down?” Chu Xiong took a step forward, and a powerful Aura faintly threatened to burst forth from his body, his words filled with menace.

“You can try.” A sharp light also appeared in Qin Ding’s eyes.

“New Disciple are getting more and more arrogant these days. Today, let me teach you how to respect your seniors.”

Chu Xiong was furious, and a vast Aura surged out.

He felt that not attacking immediately was already giving the Qin Family a lot of Face, but he didn't expect Qin Ding to be so ignorant.

What if he was the Holy Son of the Qin Family? This was Saintly Way Academy.

Chu Xiong believed that as long as he didn't kill Qin Ding, with the academy's protection, the Qin Family wouldn't do anything to him.

So he pushed out a hand. There were no spiritual power fluctuations under this palm, yet it still gave people a suffocating sense of oppression.

“He actually Cultivated the Physical Body.” Qin Ding glanced at him indifferently.

Immediately, he also clenched his five fingers into a fist, and eighteen Divine Demon Marks circulated.

With this punch, the air directly exploded. After leaving Saints Fall Mountain, in addition to his spiritual power Breakthrough, his Physical Body had also become more refined.

The power boosted by the eighteen Divine Demon Marks now was much stronger than the power boosted by the eighteen Divine Demon Marks inside Saints Fall Mountain before.

Boom!

Under the gaze of many, the two directly clashed, and the next moment, terrifying power ripples spread out.

Amidst these ripples, a figure staggered backward. When everyone looked closely, their eyes were filled with shock.

It was Chu Xiong who had been forced back.

“Such a strong Physical Body,” Chu Xiong's Face was gloomy. He hadn't expected Qin Ding to also possess such powerful Physical Body strength.

Both the senior Disciple and new Disciple were stunned, especially the senior Disciple, who knew very well that Chu Xiong had specifically tempered his Physical Body.

Chu Xiong had once even crushed a Heaven's Chosen on the Holy Spirit Rankings with just his Physical Body, which showed how formidable his Physical Body was, yet at this moment, he had suffered a loss.

Suffering a loss in a confrontation with a new Disciple, Chu Xiong also felt a bit of a loss of Face, and then he said, “As expected of the Holy Son of the Qin Family, the Qin Family truly gave you a lot of Heaven And Earth Treasure for Body Refining. However, I was just careless.”

In Chu Xiong's view, Qin Ding's ability to possess such a Physical Body must have been due to the Qin Family spending a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure to build it up.

Thus, Chu Xiong no longer dared to underestimate Qin Ding, activating the Body Refining Cultivation Technique he Cultivated. He saw his hands begin to become transparent, emitting a jade-like luster.

When they saw the change in Chu Xiong's palms, many senior Disciple's expressions changed. They naturally knew what this meant.

“He actually activated the Profound Jade Body Forging Technique; that newcomer is in for trouble.” Many senior Disciple were aware of the Body Refining Cultivation Technique Chu Xiong Cultivated.

The Profound Jade Body Forging Technique, a very famous Body Forging Cultivation Technique within Saintly Way Academy. When Cultivated to Minor Achievement, one could begin to temper various parts of the entire body, making them like jade. Once the entire body was tempered, it meant the Cultivation Technique had reached its top Major Achievement.

It is rumored that when the Profound Jade Body Forging Technique is Cultivated to its top Major Achievement, one's Physical Body can become a Saint, and relying on this Physical Body alone is enough to contend with a Saint.

Although Chu Xiong had not yet reached that Realm, he had already begun to temper his palms, and the power of his palms was absolutely not to be underestimated.
