Chapter 0040: Come and Fight If You Dare

Ding Tianchun, with his eyes closed as he tended to his wounds, said slowly, "I encountered a Lin Steel Tiger. It’s already fortunate that I managed to escape alive. My injuries have nothing to do with Qin Yun."

President Zhang frowned and said, "I also saw an eighth-rank bird beast flying out from the sky earlier. It seems something is happening deep within the Yunlong Mountains."

Yang Shiyue watched quietly from the side, feeling that this matter wasn't so simple.

"Doesn’t that mean Class Seven’s Qin Yun has no achievements?" a plump teacher laughed.

Because up until now, this plump middle-aged teacher had led the class with the worst performance. If Qin Yun had no achievements, then it wouldn’t be his class at the bottom anymore.

"No!" Ding Tianchun stood up and began pulling out the corpses of five demonic beasts from his storage bag.

"The Flame Spear Chicken is a fifth-rank demonic beast, and the other four are fourth-rank! A fifth-rank beast counts as ten, so this is equivalent to fourteen!" Ding Tianchun glanced at the plump middle-aged teacher and continued, "All these were killed by Qin Yun alone. I was only responsible for tracking the beasts and providing guidance on the side!"

President Zhang came over, nodded, and said, "There are traces of the Flame Light Fist on the beasts’ bodies. He didn’t even use any weapons. It seems his Flame Light Fist has improved significantly!"

The three or four hundred students present erupted in discussion!

Qin Yun could kill a fifth-rank demonic beast with his bare hands, a feat unimaginable to those at the Fourth Level!

Many students looked at Qin Yun with envy, jealousy, and resentment, feeling extremely unwilling!

The teachers were speechless; they all knew that Ding Tianchun was honest and wouldn’t lie for Qin Yun.

The students gnashed their teeth in jealousy because once again, Qin Yun had taken the top prize all by himself!

"Now we just need to wait for Class Three!" Yang Shiyue smiled slightly and nodded approvingly at Qin Yun.

Only Qin Yun and Ding Tianchun knew that the people from Class Three would never return!

Because they had all been killed by Qin Yun alone!

Thinking about this, Ding Tianchun felt a mix of emotions!

As night fell, everyone set up camp and continued waiting for the people from Class Three.

Now it was the final deadline.

"President, aren’t they coming back?" asked an elderly man, who was the original teacher of Class Three.

"I don’t know. Let’s wait one more day. If they don’t return, you should go back first, and I’ll go in alone to find them," President Zhang said with a heavy expression.

...

The next morning, President Zhang announced that Class Nine had won.

The reward this time was ten days of cultivation inside the Nine Sun Spirit Gathering Formation!

The Nine Sun Spirit Gathering Formation was located at the peak of Hualing Peak. Ten days of cultivation there was equivalent to absorbing spiritual energy for one or two years under normal circumstances!

"President, we object. The Nine Sun Spirit Gathering Formation opens only once a year, and it’s fine if a dozen people enter. But now, only Qin Yun, a single-veined individual, gets to enjoy it alone. That’s such a waste!" a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes complained. He was the teacher of Class One.

Several other teachers also protested!

Qin Yun remembered that these teachers had good relations with Master Wei.

Yang Shiyue sneered and said, "Qin Yun can kill so many demonic beasts on his own. Why shouldn’t he get to enjoy the Nine Sun Spirit Gathering Formation alone?"

"He’s just a lucky single-veined waste. You must have secretly helped him, which is why he progressed so quickly," Yan Yun shouted loudly.

Backed by the Yan family, her fiancé being Master Wei’s son, and with Master Wei present at the Hualing Martial Arts Academy, she dared to challenge Yang Shiyue like this.

"You... shut up. Brother Kun is a future Runes Master. He has devoted all his energy to runes and can already create talismans. When we return, Master Wei will host a banquet for all the students of the Hualing Martial Arts Academy and the major families of Tian Qin to celebrate!" Yan Yun’s voice was full of pride and anger.

When she mentioned that Wei Xuankun could create talismans, everyone was surprised and exclaimed.

"So what if it’s just creating talismans?" Qin Yun said casually. He could create talismans too, and he had made quite a few powerful fire talismans.

Everyone laughed when they heard his words.

"Uneducated fool! Do you know what it means to be able to create talismans?" a teacher mocked. "It means Wei Xuankun has stepped into the threshold of becoming a Runes Master! Many old scholars have spent decades trying to cross this threshold without success!"

Hearing this, Yan Yun raised her head proudly. Other students came over to congratulate Wei Xuankun, showering him with flattery...

"President, we really object to Qin Yun enjoying the Nine Sun Spirit Gathering Formation alone. Please understand our feelings!" Yan Yun said. "Master Wei plans to hold a celebration banquet at the Hualing Martial Arts Academy. When other prestigious families learn about it..."

"Enough! If anyone disagrees, come fight me! I earned this reward through my own strength. It’s mine by right. What grounds do you have to object? By your own strength? Are you stronger than me?"

"Just because you have more spirit veins and powerful families backing you, you still can’t surpass me, a single-veined individual. Why? Isn’t it because you’re useless and don’t work hard enough, spending your days idling around?"

Qin Yun, now enraged, pointed at the group of dissatisfied students and shouted loudly.

None of the students dared to speak further. Qin Yun had defeated even Wei Xuankun, someone they couldn’t handle!

"I’ll fight you!" a tall youth walked out, wearing expensive soft armor, his expression arrogant.

"Zheng Yuanqing, the Zheng family’s son with the Five Sun Spirit Veins and the Gold Tiger Martial Soul? He’s from Class Two!" a student whispered, admiration in his eyes.

"He’s already reached the Fifth Level of the Martial Body Realm and possesses a rare Beast Martial Soul."

"According to Yan Yun, Wei Xuankun isn’t a fighter, which is why he lost to Qin Yun. But Zheng Yuanqing has a Beast Martial Soul and focuses on combat. He might be able to defeat Qin Yun!"

"A life-or-death battle?" Qin Yun asked coldly.

"Qin Yun, if you lose, you’ll allow their class to enter the Nine Sun Spirit Gathering Formation. If he loses, all the demonic beasts captured by Class Two will belong to you!" President Zhang said. "This is a friendly match. Stop when one is injured."

"Good!" Qin Yun responded.

Class Two killed ten fourth-stage demonic beasts, each worth two thousand crystals, totaling twenty thousand, which was quite impressive.

Zheng Yuanqing secretly gloated; if he defeated Qin Yun, his fame would surely soar, greatly helping his status within the family.

Everyone made way for them to begin their duel.

"Begin!" Dean Zhang shouted.

Zheng Yuanqing's body trembled, and a ferocious beast's aura surged out!

As he unleashed his momentum, he charged at Qin Yun like an enraged beast, his hands suddenly transforming into tiger claws during the sprint!

This was a manifestation of the technique he had learned, looking incredibly realistic and powerful.

"It's the Lower Tier Spirit-Level Tiger Claw; previously, he tore apart a fourth-stage demonic beast alive."

"I wonder how Qin Yun will respond?"

Two students exclaimed in amazement.
