70: Chapter 70 Shocking! Zhao Kailai Advances to Martial Saint!

"Zhao Kailai, enough!"

A teacher approached Zhao Kailai, attempting to pull him back.

However, a burst of Saber Qi erupted from Zhao Kailai, forcing the teacher to stumble back several steps.

"Zhao Kailai, you..."

Ignoring the teachers' pleas, Zhao Kailai swung his blade at Guild Master Huangfu Hao once more.

Crack!

The yellow light surrounding Guild Master Huangfu Hao finally shattered.

Next, he would have to face Zhao Kailai's Saber Qi head-on!

He turned to flee, but how could he outrun Zhao Kailai's Saber Qi?

Zhao Kailai brought a wave of Saber Qi crashing down upon Guild Master Huangfu Hao.

"Ah!"

Guild Master Huangfu Hao let out a miserable scream and slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with despair and terror.

Just then, a figure streaked through the air at incredible speed, creating a sonic boom cloud.

A fiery red spear light shot out, striking Zhao Kailai's blade directly.

"Zhao Kailai, how dare you!"

"To dare attempt to kill a branch president of my Tianqi Guild!"

A lithe and enchanting woman with a slender figure appeared beside Guild Master Huangfu Hao, glaring at Zhao Kailai.

Seeing the woman, Guild Master Huangfu Hao seemed like a deflated balloon, collapsing weakly to the ground.

"Heh!"

Zhao Kailai looked at the woman with a face full of disdain. "The Tianqi Guild certainly puts on quite the air of authority!"

"Our Tianqi Guild indeed has such authority!" The woman held a fiery red spear that flickered with cold light and was wreathed in runes, exuding a murderous aura.

"Zhao Kailai, do you think I won't touch you just because you're the Dean of Modu University's School of Weaponry?"

"Then why don't you try and see!" Zhao Kailai showed no fear, and the phantom of his Tyrant Blade began to manifest behind him.

"Who is that person with the fiery red spear?"

"She looks like a real powerhouse!"

One of the students watching the commotion asked.

"Of course she is! She's a Martial Saint!"

"The President of the Modu Branch of the Tianqi Guild, Fire Cloud Spear Su Changying!"

"Holy crap!"

"That's Su Changying?"

"How is that possible?"

"She looks thirty at most!"

"That's because she's youthful!"

"Su Changying has been a Martial Saint for years; her reputation is legendary!"

"Years ago, when the Werewolf Clan rampaged through the K35 Secret Realm and slaughtered almost all the human bases, Su Changying stood alone with her spear. She left the Werewolf Clan with fields of corpses and rivers of blood, even killing their Wolf King. She forced them back three thousand miles, and they haven't dared to cross the human border since!"

*Hiss!*

"With Su Changying personally intervening, Dean Zhao might be in trouble!"

"Dean Zhao is only an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster!"

"Don't worry, our Principal definitely won't let one of our own be bullied!"

"Su Changying is indeed strong, but compared to our Principal, she's still far behind!"

"Our Principal... that old guy... is he really that amazing?"

"Heh..."

"Let me put it this way: there's a huge gap even between different Martial Saints!"

"Our Principal is at the Peak of the Martial Saint rank. I wouldn't say he's number one in Great Xia, but he's easily in the top five!"

...

"President Su, kill him! Kill him..." Guild Master Huangfu Hao sprawled on the ground. Feeling the wetness in his crotch, his heart was filled with extreme shame and rage.

In his entire life, he had never suffered such humiliation!

"Zhao Kailai, it seems you truly don't know the meaning of death!" Su Changying was also completely enraged by Zhao Kailai.

She swung her spear, and a burst of flames swirled around, emitting a powerful aura of destruction.

"Today, I will make you realize that the Tianqi Guild is not to be profaned!"

Su Changying's Fire Cloud Spear erupted. In an instant, the entire sky turned fiery red, and the clouds above became sunset-hued fire clouds.

"Kill!"

Su Changying thrust her spear, which transformed into a fire Dragon that lunged at Zhao Kailai, hideous and terrifying, seemingly ready to devour everything.

Facing Su Changying's strike, Zhao Kailai showed no fear. With his Tyrant Blade in hand, he slashed violently at the fire Dragon.

Boom!

The fire Dragon collided with Zhao Kailai's Saber Qi, triggering a massive explosion.

The Tianqi Guild building completely collapsed, reduced to rubble.

In the sky, Saber Qi and spear light clashed, and the resulting shockwave shattered the clouds.

For a moment, fiery red droplets rained down from the sky, a beautiful sight to behold.

Zhao Kailai stood tall like a mountain, Tyrant Blade in hand, while Su Changying, who was gripping Guild Master Huangfu Hao in the air, was knocked back several yards.

"You..."

Su Changying looked at Zhao Kailai in shock. "You've ascended to Martial Saint?"

"Hmph!"

"It's just the Martial Saint rank. Did you think you were the only one who could reach it?"

Zhao Kailai held his massive Tyrant Blade across his chest, exuding an overbearing aura that caused many nearby students to collapse to the ground in fear.

"This... Dean Zhao has ascended to Martial Saint?"

The entire school broke into an uproar.

Though only one rank separated a Great Grandmaster and a Martial Saint, they were worlds apart.

Take that step, and the world becomes vast, free to roam!

If one fails to take that step, they are destined to a life of mediocrity, unable to achieve transcendence!

Moving from an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster to a Ninth-Rank Martial Saint is like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, transforming into a Dragon and riding the wind, peerless and unmatched.

"Magic Capital University has another Martial Saint! Haha..."

"Incredible!"

"Dean Zhao is amazing!"

The teachers and vice-principals of Magic Capital University had been sweating for Zhao Kailai, some even running to find the Principal.

They hadn't expected Zhao Kailai to give them such a massive surprise.

For Magic Capital University, gaining a Martial Saint was no small improvement.

From now on, Magic Capital University's ranking could finally rival Kyoto University!

"No wonder you're so fearless!"

Su Changying's face was grim.

"But do you think that just because you've ascended to Martial Saint, you can compete with me?"

"Naive!"

"Ascending to Martial Saint is only the beginning!"

"The path ahead is where the true tempering lies!"

"Let me show you the true power of a Martial Saint!"

Flames burned in Su Changying's eyes as she was enveloped in fire. The Fire Cloud Spear in her hand seemed to transform into a great Dragon, letting out a roar!

"Fire Dragon Strike!"

Su Changying roared as the Fire Cloud Spear swept across hundreds of yards, turning into a fire Dragon that surged toward Zhao Kailai.

This strike seemed capable of destroying the entire Magic Capital University campus.

"Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor!"

Facing Su Changying's Fire Cloud Spear, Zhao Kailai roared. He didn't use any of his usual blade Martial Skills; instead, he used the Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor taught to him by Jiang Ling!

The massive fifty-six-meter Tyrant Blade suddenly seemed to enter another dimension, becoming somewhat ethereal.

Then, as Zhao Kailai slashed down, ripples actually formed in the Void Realm.
