204: vent!

Hidden Dragon Sword Qi, carrying its sharp edge, continuously descended as Lu Sheng's voice rang out.

With each descent, a gruesome wound would appear on Mei Yun's body.

Blood seeped through the wounds, flowing out and staining the entire arena.

In an instant, an extremely strong smell of blood permeated the entire arena!

Pfft!

The sound of Sword Qi tearing through flesh continued to ring out, just like a butcher raising his cleaver and repeatedly cutting pork.

At this moment, Mei Yun's face was completely contorted, but it was a contortion brought on by the intense pain.

He wanted to concede, but just as his voice began to rise and before he could finish a single syllable, Lu Sheng's Sword Qi had already descended again.

This made it impossible for Mei Yun to utter a sound.

As a result... Mei Yun lay limp on the arena floor, enduring the torturous pain of Lu Sheng's Hidden Dragon Sword Qi.

"Stop!!!"

Finally, from the Xuanji Academy's lounge, an exasperated voice rang out. A white-haired elder instantly stepped onto the arena, an extremely terrifying aura surging from his body, directly blocking the space between Mei Yun and Lu Sheng.

The terrifying force instantly pushed Lu Sheng back step by step, but when Lu Sheng stopped, his eyes also fell on the elder.

Those eyes were filled with a coldness. He calmly looked at the elder before him, even though the other party was the person in charge of Xuanji Academy, even though he was a strong practitioner in the Qi Cultivation stage.

But... Lu Sheng stood firm and unafraid!

"Old man... this doesn't seem to be a place you should be, does it?"

Lu Sheng stretched his neck and spoke indifferently.

These words instantly made the already exasperated elder feel an unnamed fire brewing in his heart.

"Presumptuous!!"

The elder let out a low growl, and a terrifying aura instantly surged out, pressing down on Lu Sheng with overwhelming force.

"I think you're the one being presumptuous!!"

From Star Academy's lounge, Lan Zhan's figure instantly shot out. His Half-step Golden Body Realm cultivation erupted. Although slightly weaker than the elder, a faint golden glow flickered, blocking the terrifying wave of Qi for Lu Sheng.

Lan Zhan's face held a hint of ferocity. He sneered at the person in charge of Xuanji Academy: "Is Xuanji Academy trying to bully Star Academy because it thinks we have no one?"

Saying that, Lan Zhan also looked towards the platform, sneering: "Elder Zhang, although Star Academy is not under the jurisdiction of the Martial Alliance and the military, the Martial Alliance must uphold the rules of this Academy Tournament, right!"

"Xuanji Academy's actions... are quite disgraceful!"

Lan Zhan's voice instantly reverberated throughout the Imperial Capital Gymnasium.

At this moment, the surrounding stands were silent. Countless spectators stared blankly at the arena. The scene unfolding before them was something they had not anticipated.

First, Lu Sheng mercilessly tortured Mei Yun, just as Mei Yun had crippled Long Tianxing before. Then, the person in charge of Xuanji Academy forcibly rushed onto the arena, followed by Lan Zhan, who directly challenged Zhang Ming.

These scenes left them speechless. Their gazes fell on the platform.

Although Star Academy was not under the jurisdiction of the Martial Alliance and the military, it was still a Martial Arts Academy of Great Xia. With such an incident occurring... what explanation would Zhang Ming give?

On the platform, Zhang Ming's eyelids lowered slightly. With his hands clasped behind his back, no expression could be seen on his face. Facing Lan Zhan's sneer, Zhang Ming finally slowly raised his head.

A faint light flickered in his cloudy eyes.

"Xuanji Academy... broke the rules!"

Upon hearing this, the expression of Xuanji Academy's person in charge changed slightly. He naturally knew he had broken the rules, but seeing Mei Yun being tortured by Lu Sheng like this, Mei Yun was the leader of their Martial Arts Academy. How could he stand by and watch?

He quickly cupped his fists towards Zhang Ming on the platform: "Elder Zhang, I was too hasty in this matter. Xuanji Academy is willing to accept any punishment, but Mei Yun has already lost his combat ability and should be declared defeated!"

At this moment, he no longer thought about whether he could weaken Star Academy; he only wanted to take Mei Yun off the stage.

"You say he's defeated, so he's defeated? Mei Yun hasn't verbally conceded. What are you shouting about, you old geezer!"

Lan Zhan immediately started cursing.

Although his cultivation was not as high as the person in charge of Xuanji Academy, when had Star Academy ever been afraid of anyone?

If you want to follow the rules, I'll follow them honestly.

If you don't follow the rules, I have a hundred ways to kill you!

This was the way of Star Academy's people!

"Enough!"

On the platform, Zhang Ming roared, and everyone could hear the intense anger contained in his voice.

He glanced at the platform and said indifferently: "Mei Yun has not yet conceded. According to the rules, the battle should continue!"

Upon hearing this, the old man from Xuanji Academy's expression changed slightly.

However, at this moment, perhaps the fear in his heart finally allowed Mei Yun to regain some sanity. He tremblingly raised his hand, looked at Lu Sheng, his eyes filled with terror.

"I... I concede!"

A faint voice rang out, bringing a hint of joy to the old man from Xuanji Academy's face. He quickly looked at Zhang Ming on the platform.

Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, then looked at Lu Sheng and said softly: "Mei Yun has already conceded. You won this match, how about it?"

Zhang Ming looked deeply at Lu Sheng, without the impatience he had shown towards the old man from Xuanji Academy earlier.

Firstly, this matter was originally instigated by Xuanji Academy; Star Academy was the victim.

As the founder of the Martial Alliance, he had witnessed too many things. He naturally saw through Xuanji Academy's intentions.

Coupled with the terrifying background behind Lu Sheng, even the head of the Martial Alliance was not very willing to offend Lu Sheng, so he asked in a conciliatory manner.

Lu Sheng slowly raised his head, his eyes filled only with coldness.

Seeing Lu Sheng's expression, Zhang Ming's heart stirred slightly. He felt that Lu Sheng would not let the matter rest so easily, but Lu Sheng's sudden words stunned Zhang Ming.

"Alright!"

Lu Sheng actually agreed.

Zhang Ming was stunned but quickly recovered, then announced Lu Sheng's victory.

Upon hearing this, the old man from Xuanji Academy quickly carried Mei Yun off the arena, but just as he stepped off the stage, Lu Sheng's voice rang out again.

"Next!"

These words made the elder's body stiffen slightly.

He turned around and looked at Lu Sheng, his expression turning gloomy again.

Yes, besides Mei Yun, Xuanji Academy still had four other team members!

Zhang Ming now understood Lu Sheng's plan.

Since he couldn't collect interest from Mei Yun, he would collect some interest from the other students of Xuanji Academy.

As Lu Sheng's words fell, in the Xuanji Academy's lounge, the faces of the Xuanji Academy students instantly turned pale.

Even Mei Yun was no match for this guy, so how could they be a match for Lu Sheng?

If they went up... they would be even more miserable than Mei Yun!

For a moment, they looked at the arena with fear, and at this time, none of them moved a step.

The person in charge of Xuanji Academy's face was also alternating between green and red.

He admitted that at this moment, he had been bluffed by Lu Sheng.

After a moment of silence, the old man from Xuanji Academy finally sighed and slowly said.

"Xuanji Academy, we concede!"

There was no other choice but to concede!

Their students would only be severely beaten if they went up, and with Mei Yun's precedent, the other students would undoubtedly be even more miserable.

This was not what he wanted to see. At this moment, a strong regret surged in his heart, regretting why he had agreed to Hidden Dragon Academy, why he had acted as the vanguard for Hidden Dragon Academy!

Xuanji Academy's concession was within everyone's expectations, after all, the combat power Lu Sheng displayed was simply too terrifying.

However, what they wanted to know more at this moment was how Lu Sheng, whose anger had not been vented, would act.

For a moment, everyone's gaze fell on Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng stood on the ring, his expression unprecedentedly calm. He slowly looked at Zhang Ming on the platform and said faintly, "Can I apply to directly face Hidden Dragon Academy?"

Zhang Ming was stunned again.

Directly face Hidden Dragon Academy?

Under normal circumstances, to ensure enough rest time, after one match, players would selectively rest for a match to display their best condition.

Therefore, continuous combat situations rarely occurred.

However, if the choosing party opted to continue directly, it was also allowed under the rules of the Academy Tournament.

But the consequences must be borne by oneself.

Thus, Lu Sheng's words were within the permissible rules.

Furthermore, since Lu Sheng was the choosing party, once he chose to continue fighting, and Hidden Dragon Academy had not yet competed, they had to agree.

It's just... Zhang Ming pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Do you really want to continue the match?"

"No need to rest?"

Lu Sheng calmly withdrew his gaze, shifting it to the Hidden Dragon Academy's lounge, revealing a hint of a sneer.

"Dealing with them... they aren't worthy of me resting!"

The faint voice, however, carried an air of arrogance, completely echoing throughout the Imperial Capital Gymnasium.

You, Hidden Dragon Academy, are not worthy!

As for whether this unworthiness referred to Hidden Dragon Academy's character or strength, it was unknown.

But the moment these words fell, Hidden Dragon Academy was already nailed to the pillar of shame by Lu Sheng.

Especially with so many news outlets present.

At this moment, in Hidden Dragon Academy's lounge, Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal's expression had completely turned gloomy.

To be honest, Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal had not anticipated everything that was happening before him.

What he had even less expected was that Lu Sheng would dare to challenge Hidden Dragon Academy directly without resting, and even utter such words.

For a moment, the Vice Principal of Hidden Dragon Academy's face also completely darkened.

A heavy pressure emanated from him as he slowly looked at a student from Hidden Dragon Academy, a hint of madness appearing in his eyes.

"Break his legs! I want him to know what fate awaits those who provoke our Hidden Dragon Academy!!"

Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal roared.

However, the Hidden Dragon Academy student he was looking at hesitated slightly. Even Mei Yun was not Lu Sheng's opponent, could he really defeat Lu Sheng?

Moreover, seeing Mei Yun's injured state made him feel a trace of fear towards Lu Sheng.

But just as he hesitated, he noticed Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal's gaze, which seemed to want to devour people, and immediately shivered. Although he was very unwilling, he still walked out obediently.

After watching that person leave, Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal's gaze fell gloomily on the ring.

He knew very well that Star Academy only had Lu Sheng with top-tier combat power.

Whether it was Long Tianxing, Gu Yun, Yu Qianqian, or Xia Kong, although their combat power and talent were prodigious, in this Academy Tournament, they could only barely be considered first-rate.

Compared to the Prodigies who were leaders of the Five Great Academies, they were still a bit lacking.

But Lu Sheng was different. Lu Sheng truly possessed the combat power of a leader, even surpassing many leaders.

To be safe, even though he knew Lu Sheng would torment his students, he still chose to use his students to weaken Lu Sheng's combat power, ultimately allowing Mu Tianyang to defeat Lu Sheng with more confidence.

All of this... was to contend for the first-place position!

As the Hidden Dragon Academy student walked out, Zhang Ming was too lazy to continue persuading and directly announced the start of the match between Hidden Dragon Academy and Star Academy.

Immediately, the Imperial Capital Gymnasium became noisy again.

Their eyes looking at Lu Sheng also changed slightly.

"Can he do it?"

Lan Zhan glanced at Lu Sheng, a little worried, but after getting Lu Sheng's affirmative nod, Lan Zhan said no more and stepped off the ring, but did not return to the lounge, instead quietly watching Lu Sheng on the ring.

Now, Star Academy only had Hidden Dragon Academy left to defeat.

As long as Hidden Dragon Academy was defeated, then the first place in this Academy Tournament would naturally belong to Star Academy, and the glory of Star Academy would be continued through these young ones!

To be honest, Lan Zhan had never imagined this scene before.

But it happened anyway.

For a moment, even Lan Zhan's heart couldn't help but surge with emotion.

As the Hidden Dragon Academy student stepped onto the ring, the surrounding referees also announced the start of the match.

In an instant, Lu Sheng's voice suddenly disappeared.

Then, a scream was heard, accompanied by the sound of bones shattering.

The next moment, a perfect parabola was directly outlined in mid-air.

That Hidden Dragon Academy student had already been sent flying by Lu Sheng.

His hands hung limply on the ground, clearly, the bones in both hands were completely shattered.

"Next!"

Lu Sheng's faint voice rang out again.

Filled with a chilling glint.

"You! Go up!"

In Hidden Dragon Academy's lounge, Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal's furious roar sounded. He pointed at a student, his eyes bloodshot, and shrieked.

That person walked out fearfully, intending to surrender the moment the match began.

But Lu Sheng's speed was simply too fast.

In an instant, he followed in the footsteps of the previous person.

Both hands suffered comminuted fractures!

"Go! All of you go! I don't care what method you use, just do your best to weaken his strength. I refuse to believe he can still defeat Mu Tianyang in the end!"

Every time a Hidden Dragon Academy student was defeated, Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal's frantic roar would echo in Hidden Dragon Academy's lounge.

However... no matter how Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal shrieked, what awaited him was always the merciless defeat of his own students.

A uniform comminuted fracture of both hands, and they... hadn't even touched Lu Sheng's clothes!

Until the fourth student was completely defeated.

Lu Sheng still stood on the ring.

Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal's eyes were already bloodshot to the extreme, and even, in those bloodshot eyes, vaguely, a trace of fear seemed to be visible.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Mu Tianyang, his breathing becoming heavier at this moment.

"Tianyang! You can defeat him, right? You can definitely defeat him, right!"

Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal's somewhat crazed voice rang in Mu Tianyang's ears.

Mu Tianyang slowly opened his eyes. He calmly glanced at Lu Sheng on the ring, slowly stood up, and said softly.

"No one can defeat me except Gu Changge!"

Leaving behind these light words, Mu Tianyang, under Chen Tianxing, Vice Principal's gaze, slowly left the lounge and walked towards the ring.

Soon, Mu Tianyang stood on the ring, quietly looking at Lu Sheng before him.

And at this moment, all the spectators in the Imperial Capital Gymnasium were staring intently at the ring.

The battle between Lu Sheng and Mu Tianyang could almost be said to be the most valuable match in the Academy Tournament.

Both of their strengths were unfathomable!

"To be able to stand before me... you are very good!"

Mu Tianyang slowly said to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng calmly glanced at Mu Tianyang, then looked at the referee, and said faintly, "Can we start?"

The referee, somewhat intimidated by the chilling tone in Lu Sheng's words, swallowed hard, then announced the start of the match.

As his voice fell, Lu Sheng's figure instantly rushed out.

The Dragon Slayer Sword instantly struck out.

Facing this scene, Mu Tianyang sneered disdainfully.

"Still using these methods? I'm already tired of seeing them!"

Mu Tianyang sneered, and just as he was about to make a move, he noticed a silver light flashing. The next moment, a huge hammer appeared before Mu Tianyang.

Wait!

A hammer?

Mu Tianyang was stunned.

And at this moment, a faint voice instantly exploded.

"Heaven and Earth... One Hammer!"
