893: Slay, compensate

Yuan Baishan's back slammed violently into the barrier of the Life-and-Death Arena, and blood sprayed from his mouth.

Both of his palms were shattered and dripping with blood!

At this moment, his heart was completely filled with fear.

His vitality surged, and his shattered hands were instantly restored.

But just then, a golden millstone appeared not far away, sweeping toward him to devour him.

Yuan Baishan had no time to think and struck out with both palms.

Another violent roar rang out, accompanied by Yuan Baishan's scream. His palms shattered once again, and he was sent flying back.

But before he could even land, Ji Wuchang had already stepped forward, arriving in front of him and throwing another pair of punches.

"Revered Master, save me!"

Yuan Baishan's eyes were completely filled with terror!

In his Divine Soul Sea of Consciousness, his Primordial Spirit was surrounded by raging flames. A terrifying tearing force almost shredded his Primordial Spirit to pieces.

But he had no way to shatter these Scorching Suns, because after they devoured his Divine Soul power, they became increasingly formidable!

"Master Zhou, could you ask your Disciple to stop? Yuan Baishan is, after all, the Dean's Disciple!"

Long Heyuan spoke to Zhou Haotian, his tone much more polite than before!

Several other Masters also looked at Zhou Haotian and spoke up one after another; they wanted to save Yuan Baishan!

Zhou Haotian's gaze was indifferent as he said coldly, "Do you all not understand the rules of the Life-and-Death Arena?"

"I will not speak unless the Dean tells me so personally!"

Zhou Haotian's words were clear: if the Dean personally spoke, he would give the Dean that Face, but you all are not worthy!

As soon as he spoke, the expressions of Long Heyuan and the other Masters turned ugly. They hadn't expected that today's Zhou Haotian would be so assertive!

Just then, a scream rang out from the arena. Everyone quickly turned to look and couldn't help but gasp.

They saw Yuan Baishan being directly blown apart, with only half his body floating in the air as blood splattered across the arena.

Shrill screams continuously erupted from his mouth. His vitality billowed around him as his severed body rapidly regrew.

But at that moment, Ji Wuchang struck again, throwing another punch. The golden millstone slammed violently into Yuan Baishan's body.

A terrified scream rang out as Yuan Baishan's not-yet-fully-restored Physical Body exploded again, and the remaining half of his torso slammed hard against the barrier.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Over the next few breaths, Yuan Baishan's screams continued incessantly. He repeatedly used his Essence Blood to restore his Physical Body, only to be ruthlessly blown apart by Ji Wuchang time and again.

As the number of times he was blown apart increased, Yuan Baishan's recovery speed grew slower and slower. His Face aged visibly, and his hair gradually turned white.

After a few breaths, he had become a white-haired old man, his Essence Blood and Origin completely ground away by Ji Wuchang.

Countless people below the stage watched Ji Wuchang in horror. They could see that he clearly could have killed Yuan Baishan, but he chose not to do it directly.

He let him revive again and again, giving him hope only to plunge him into despair. This method was far too ruthless.

"First level of the supreme realm, it seems you're nothing special. I'll send you on your way!"

Seeing the already despairing Yuan Baishan, Ji Wuchang's gaze was indifferent as he directly triggered the twelve Scorching Suns within the other's Divine Soul Sea of Consciousness.

A terrifying tearing force erupted, completely shredding Yuan Baishan's Primordial Spirit and burning it to nothing!

Yuan Baishan collapsed. Flames surged over his body, and under the terrified gazes of the crowd, his corpse was directly reduced to ashes!

At this moment, the entire academy fell into complete silence, save for the sound of heavy breathing.

Today, they had witnessed with their own eyes someone at the first level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm kill someone at the first level of the supreme realm. The shock was unparalleled.

They could feel from Ji Wuchang that he didn't seem to have exerted much effort at all.

"Just how strong is he?"

This thought occurred to many people simultaneously. Looking at Ji Wuchang, their eyes were filled with endless awe and fear!

Not just the Students, but even many of the academy's Masters couldn't help but fall silent at this moment.

No one had expected that a mere competition for an entry slot into the Saint King Secret Realm would escalate to such a degree.

Two Supremes and two experts at the ninth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm had fallen, and a Family had been wiped out.

If this were to spread, the entire Jiangshan Province would surely be in an uproar!

Furthermore, the Dean had not shown his Face from beginning to end, leaving many people wondering what his intentions were!

"Who else wants to challenge me? Step forward!"

Just as everyone thought everything had settled, Ji Wuchang's cold voice rang out again.

As soon as he spoke, many people's gazes simultaneously shifted toward Ye Tingnan, Zhang Anhan, and the others.

Feeling the surrounding gazes, Ye Tingnan and the others instantly turned as pale as paper, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

If they were to step onto the Life-and-Death Arena, they would undoubtedly die!

"Master Zhou, we were in the wrong about this. We should not have questioned your Disciple's combat strength!"

"We are willing to provide ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones as compensation for your Disciple. What do you think?"

While the scene was deathly silent, Ye Tingnan's father, Ye Sheng, sent a voice transmission to Zhou Haotian.

He had no choice; he didn't want his son to be targeted by Ji Wuchang, especially since Ye Tingnan still had to go to Tianchen Academy.

Ji Wuchang's strength was clear. Even without the academy's slot, it would be easy for him to enter Tianchen Academy.

He didn't want his son to have such a terrifying enemy.

Otherwise, the possibility of dying at Tianchen Academy would be very high!

Zhou Haotian glanced at Ye Sheng and nodded slightly. He also knew that it wasn't wise to let this matter escalate further.

Seeing Zhou Haotian agree, Ye Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

Ji Wuchang soon received a voice transmission from Zhou Haotian. He nodded slightly, agreeing to the proposal.

Qin Qi also received Zhou Haotian's transmission. He tapped a finger on the barrier of the Life-and-Death Arena, and a crack instantly opened in the barrier.

Ji Wuchang's figure stepped out from the crack and appeared beside Jiang Qiye.

Jiang Qiye's eyes were full of admiration. He hadn't expected his Eldest Senior Brother's combat strength to have reached such a terrifying level.

He knew that today's events would surely spread throughout the entire Tianchen Continent.

Following the Yu Family, another peerless Prodigy had emerged on the Tianchen Continent.

The surrounding people watched the departing backs of Ji Wuchang and Jiang Qiye with awe. Only after they vanished did they finally breathe a sigh of relief!

Ye Tingnan, Zhang Anhan, Zhou Huashan, and the others finally relaxed their tense bodies.

They each lowered their heads and left. Today's events had given them too great a shock!

However, many of the academy's Masters suddenly realized that with a peerless Prodigy like Ji Wuchang fighting for Jiangshan Academy, the competition for the Saint King Secret Realm entry... many people became excited at the thought. They didn't have to worry about this competition anymore!
