71: Chapter 71 Miracle! Reaching the Ninety-Nine Steps

Boom!

A loud explosion rang out, as if heaven and earth were about to be destroyed!

In the sky, one could faintly see traces of space shattering!

High in the sky, Su Changying's delicate body was sent flying backward, not stopping until she had flown several hundred zhang.

On the ground, Zhao Kailai stamped his feet, creating two deep pits, but he did not retreat.

It seemed that in this clash, Zhao Kailai had gained the upper hand.

"This..."

"Is Dean Zhao really that brave?"

"He just advanced to Martial Saint and actually repelled Su Changying of the Tianqi Guild?"

"Dean Zhao is the Dean of the Weaponry Academy and possesses extraordinary strength; he has been an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster for a very long time!"

"His Dao of the blade has been honed to a masterful level!"

"Entering the Martial Saint Realm in one move, his explosive Dao of the blade is unstoppable!"

"Even though Su Changying has been a Martial Saint for a long time, she cannot gain an advantage!"

...

Su Changying's expression changed drastically in the sky.

Although the previous strike was not her full power, this clash revealed that Zhao Kailai's strength was far greater than she had imagined.

In particular, the surging Saber Intent that Zhao Kailai unleashed made Su Changying feel chilled!

"This Zhao Kailai has actually achieved such great accomplishments in the Dao of the blade!"

"Once he entered the Martial Saint Realm, his sharp edge was exposed, making him difficult to withstand!"

...

Su Changying's expression became extremely serious.

"Zhao Kailai, it's not easy to fully display our skills here. If you have the guts, come with me outside the city for a real fight!"

Su Changying's Battle Intent had been ignited, and she challenged Zhao Kailai.

"Sure!"

Zhao Kailai had just advanced to Martial Saint and was looking for a Martial Saint to have a good fight with, to see how his current combat power measured up.

"Alright, that's enough!"

Suddenly, an old man's voice rang out.

Everyone turned to look and discovered that the old man speaking was none other than the Principal of Magic Capital University, Principal.

Principal looked at Su Changying and Zhao Kailai and slowly said:

"It is the good fortune of the entire Human Race to have one more Martial Saint!"

"Is there anything worth praising about fighting among our own kind?"

"Zhao Kailai, Jiang Ling did not die at the hands of the Tianqi Guild after all. You have caused enough of a scene here; stop now!"

"Su Changying, your Tianqi Guild is indeed a bit too arrogant and overbearing!"

"Consider today a lesson!"

"If you dare to act recklessly in Magic Capital University again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Although your Tianqi Guild is strong, it hasn't reached the point where it can run rampant in my Magic Capital University!"

...

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing Principal's words, Zhao Kailai put away his Tyrant Blade and said coldly, "If I see the Tianqi Guild being so overbearing at Magic Capital University again, I'll let you taste my Tyrant Blade again!"

After speaking, Zhao Kailai turned and left.

Su Changying stood in the Void Realm, her face full of anger, but she dared not say anything more.

She dared to challenge Zhao Kailai, but she dared not challenge Principal.

Although the Tianqi Guild was a massive force, it was ultimately a private organization, while Magic Capital University belonged to the Great Xia Federation.

When Principal spoke, it represented the official stance of the Great Xia Federation!

This was a warning to them!

In the end, Su Changying snorted coldly and left with Guild Master Huangfu Hao.

An intense conflict thus came to an end, with the Tianqi Guild's Magic Capital University branch being hacked to pieces by Zhao Kailai.

The students of the Tianqi Guild were also heavily injured and would likely not recover in a short time, suffering a major loss of Origin Qi.

After this battle, the influence of the Tianqi Guild at Magic Capital University would inevitably be greatly reduced.

Ye Honglian followed Zhao Kailai back, and looking at his back, she realized for the first time that her teacher was so domineering.

To vent her anger for his Disciple, he had actually bloodied the Tianqi Guild directly.

Zhao Kailai's promotion to Martial Saint was of great benefit to her.

With such a Martial Saint as a teacher, she could walk sideways in the academy from now on.

It's just a pity, Jiang Ling...

Ye Honglian's expression dimmed.

This matter quickly spread across various networks.

Most people were overjoyed that the Human Race had gained another Martial Saint.

With one more Martial Saint, the safety of the Human Race would have an extra layer of protection.

Do not think that just because the Human Race's society is prosperous now, one can let their guard down; the threats of those Secret Realms are always present.

Many people applauded Zhao Kailai for standing up to the Tianqi Guild.

Relying on its massive influence, the Tianqi Guild had indeed been too overbearing these years.

Many people disliked the Tianqi Guild!

Inside the Creation Secret Realm.

Jiang Ling, whom everyone thought had fallen, was still climbing toward the peak of the Heavenly Ladder at this moment.

"Ding! Your Qi and blood have been subjected to intense forging and pressure, triggering the circulation and operation of the Black Tortoise Breathing Technique. Your Black Tortoise Breathing Technique has reached the 67th level!"

"The ninety-ninth step!"

"I have finally stepped onto the highest ninety-ninth step!"

Jiang Ling took a step and arrived at the highest ninety-ninth step of the Heavenly Ladder.

He could not help but reveal a look of wild joy on his face.

Stepping onto the ninety-ninth step brought not only an increase in his Realm and Rank, and an improvement in his Cultivation Technique, but his entire body had undergone a complete rebirth.

Whether it was his muscles, bones, spinal marrow, or Primordial Spirit, they had all received a permanent increase of several times to over ten times.

This was a complete transformation of his body!

Coupled with the ten-fold basic attribute effect of his Chaos Sacred Body, his body had reached a monstrous level.

Although he was Level 22, even someone in their 30s could not compare to him.

If he were to encounter Dong Fang now, he could easily defeat him!
