Chapter 0087: Tianxing Tower

Jiang Lang possessed a legendary martial soul and was at the sixth level of martial body, yet he was defeated in one blow—utterly humiliated!

In the silent Martial Arts Field, people from the Blue Spirit Star Palace and the Jiang family rushed onto the stage.

"His inner essence and martial soul have dissipated..." The head of the Jiang family spoke with a trembling voice, on the verge of tears.

The people from the Blue Spirit Star Palace were also ashen-faced, their expressions filled with grief.

The Empress, standing below the stage, looked at the calm Qin Yun and felt a shiver of inexplicable fear.

Jiang Lang, whom she had highly regarded, was crippled by Qin Yun's single strike!

"The Xuan-level martial art, Qi Explosion Technique, and you've mastered it to the realm of great perfection, capable of creating thunderous explosions. Where did you learn this?" An elder from the Blue Spirit Star Palace glared at Qin Yun, roaring angrily.

Qin Yun was secretly alarmed that his Qi Explosion Technique had been identified, but he remained expressionless and coldly replied, "I have nothing to say!"

He had used his oscillating martial soul to release oscillating inner essence throughout his body.

When the sound waves struck, they were all dispersed by the oscillating force, leaving him unscathed.

The oscillating force completely countered Jiang Lang's sound waves!

"Do you realize what you've done?" The elder from the Star Palace roared in anger.

A student with a legendary martial soul had his martial soul and inner essence shattered!

Qin Yun snorted and said, "In such a competition, life and death are inevitable. Didn't Jiang Lang kill several students before? Why didn't you show any anger or regret then? Besides, Jiang Lang is still alive!"

"Jiang Lang has a legendary martial soul!" The elder shouted fiercely, his voice trembling. If not for Dean Zhang standing nearby, he would have attacked Qin Yun.

Qin Yun sneered, "Survival of the fittest; competition is brutal. Jiang Lang is extremely vicious. In every match, he strikes mercilessly, never giving anyone a chance! He always says that weakness equals death. Now, I'm merely returning his methods."

"But unlike him, I gave him a chance to live!"

Even though Jiang Lang was alive, he would suffer more than death!

"He couldn't even defeat me, who only has one meridian. What use is his legendary martial soul? It's laughable that you treat him like a treasure!"

The people from the Blue Spirit Star Palace and the Jiang family were furious. They were heartbroken and now being mocked by Qin Yun.

Everyone could see that despite Qin Yun's overwhelming victory over Jiang Lang, he was still looked down upon by the Blue Spirit Star Palace due to having only one meridian!

Dean Zhang hurried over and announced loudly, "The final examination for new students is over. Qin Yun wins and receives ten Upper Yuan Pills as a reward. He can stay in the Qi Gathering Courtyard for two months and will have his tuition waived for the next semester."

The rewards were excellent, especially the opportunity to stay in the Qi Gathering Courtyard.

Inside the Qi Gathering Courtyard, there was a Qi Gathering Formation where teachers practiced and meditated. Even the head dean resided there.

After receiving the ten Upper Yuan Pills, an elder from the Blue Spirit Star Palace shouted, "He destroyed the only student with an awakened legendary martial soul in Hualing Martial Arts Academy. He must be punished!"

"You must understand that most of the martial arts in Hualing Martial Arts Academy were provided by our ancestor Lan Xiao. Follow my demands immediately!"

Several elders tried to grab Qin Yun, but Dean Zhang intervened.

"He must be punished, or we'll shut down the entire Hualing Martial Arts Academy!" The elder from the Star Palace was adamant, clearly demonstrating his power.

Suddenly, a distant, ethereal voice echoed through the air, layer upon layer, making everyone gasp.

The voice said, "Qin Yun recklessly crippled a precious student with a legendary martial soul. However, Jiang Lang's actions were also unforgivable. He is cruel and bloodthirsty."

"Confine Qin Yun in the Tianxing Tower for ten years, where he can repent. Is this punishment acceptable?"

Though the speaker did not reveal himself, everyone knew it was the mysterious head dean of Hualing Martial Arts Academy, Qin Yonghe!

Tianxing Tower was the tower that no one except the head dean could open.

Inside, there was no spiritual energy. Being confined for ten years would effectively waste ten years of cultivation time.

"If you ensure he remains inside for ten years without releasing him, we accept," said the elder from the Blue Spirit Star Palace, his tone softening as he sensed Qin Yonghe's aura.

"The rules of the Tianxing Tower were established by our ancestor Lan Xiao. If he manages to escape on his own, he regains his freedom. Therefore, if Qin Yun leaves the tower within ten years by his own means, there's nothing I can do about it."

Qin Yonghe remained unseen, transmitting his voice using inner essence from afar.

Such profound inner essence left even the Blue Spirit Star Palace members in awe.

Qin Yun gritted his teeth, feeling deeply resentful about the punishment!

"Qin Yun, I know you're not satisfied, but this is for the continued operation of Hualing Martial Arts Academy!"

"I, Qin Yonghe, promise that after ten years, when you leave the Tianxing Tower, if I am still alive, I will compensate you for your lost decade." Qin Yonghe's words left the Empress and others uneasy.

Qin Yonghe was mysterious and powerful, and he would keep his word. If Qin Yun emerged after ten years and received compensation, he could rise quickly.

"With us, the Blue Spirit Star Palace, this region will be turned upside down in ten years." The elder from the Star Palace scoffed dismissively.

Qin Yun clenched his teeth. Dean Zhang stood behind him and sighed softly, "Qin Yun, I'll take you to the Tianxing Tower!"

Thus, everyone watched as Qin Yun was escorted away to the Tianxing Tower.

The people from the Blue Spirit Star Palace, the Jiang family, and the Empress followed, wanting to witness Qin Yun being locked inside the tower.

...

In the central area of Hualing Martial Arts Academy, surrounded by high walls and heavily guarded, lay the Huawu Bookstore, the Tianxing Tower, and the Qi Gathering Courtyard.

Tianxing Tower is not far from the Huawu Bookstore. It stands five stories tall, with a green exterior marred by rust, as if it were made of ancient bronze. Covered in dust and cobwebs, it hasn't been opened for a long time.

A group followed Dean Zhang and Qin Yun to the entrance of Tianxing Tower. The large door opened automatically, revealing pitch darkness inside. A chill wind carrying a musty smell blew out, making everyone uneasy.

"Qin Yun, if you can manage to destroy this tower from the inside, you won't need to be locked up for ten years!" Qin Yonghe's voice came through, much clearer now, as if he was nearby.

The elder from Star Palace sneered, "Tianxing Tower is a king-grade spirit artifact crafted by our Blue Spirit Star Palace. It is incredibly sturdy; how could it be so easily destroyed?"

Qin Yun took a deep breath, surprised that the tower was actually a king-grade spirit artifact.

After a moment of shock, he asked, "Dean Qin, if I do manage to get out, can I receive some compensation?"

Qin Yonghe paused for a moment before saying, "Yes, but the compensation will be determined by me!"

"Fine!" Qin Yun strode into the tower, and the door slowly closed behind him.

"There's no spiritual energy or food inside. Whether he can survive ten years is uncertain, let alone destroying Tianxing Tower. He’s dreaming!" Seeing Qin Yun enter, the people from Star Palace felt relieved.
