81: Second level intermediate

Thud.

Ye Liuyun threw aside the headless corpse he was holding, paused, then turned and unleashed a powerful Atomic Breath onto the body.

This was what was meant by 'destroying the evidence,' as Wang Mang had told him.

Master's words must be reasonable.

"Big Brother, he just said his Master is the school's vice-principal, and we didn't even know about it!" Ye Xiong said, a bit ashamed.

He truly hadn't known about this matter.

"It doesn't matter. Since he's already dead, what's there to say? If his Master comes looking, then we'll deal with it. It's not like he's the only one with a Master!" Ye Liuyun said indifferently.

It sounded as if everyone had one.

His Master was Wang Mang.

Hearing such arrogant words, both of them were secretly speechless.

People with connections certainly speak with more confidence.

"Ye Xiong, hit me with your ability!" Ye Liuyun said, looking at Ye Xiong.

"Alright, Big Brother!"

Ye Xiong wasn't foolish; Ye Liuyun saying this surely meant he wanted to test his own abilities.

He immediately condensed a Five Yang Orthodox Thunder and unleashed it upon Ye Liuyun.

Bang!

Ye Liuyun's body staggered slightly.

A slight pain on his body made him frown.

Only absorbing the power of flames? Or is it only Netherflame that works?

He was very curious now.

From the looks of it, he definitely couldn't absorb the power of lightning; he could only endure it.

Ye Liuyun dispelled his Armed State and took out a set of clothes to put on.

This skill was good in every way, except it was a bit hard on clothes.

It was a good thing he had dozens of sets stored in his ring.

"Let's go, let's get some late-night snacks," Ye Liuyun exhaled softly.

He had once said he was invincible below the Fourth Realm, which was a bit modest.

Now it seemed that even against a genuine Early Stage Fourth Realm, he had the power to fight.

Tsk!

How exhilarating!

Xu Beichen's gaze swept over the large pit behind them.

An Early Stage Second Realm Martial Artist had overwhelmingly crossed two major Realms to kill an Early Stage Fourth Realm Chen Qingshan. Although the opponent's Foundation was unstable, this was still astonishing enough!

He believed there wasn't a second person in the entire National Martial Arts University who could achieve this.

It was truly exaggerated.

"Don't we need to deal with this? It would be easy to find the place where you fought by following the surveillance cameras."

Xu Beichen asked hesitantly.

If Chen Qingshan's backers and the Qiu Family wanted to investigate, it would be too easy.

Ye Liuyun shook his head: "As long as it looks good on the surface, that's enough. In reality, who doesn't know what happened? If we tear off the Face, there's a different way of handling it."

In this era, who still thinks they can truly hide something?

No one can hide it.

It's just that this matter isn't discussed openly.

He was the killer.

So what!

He led the two away from the mountain peak, which was now mostly scorched bare.

The next day.

After waking up, Ye Liuyun went to the training ground; he had already felt the opportunity for a Breakthrough.

This feeling followed him like a shadow.

He had to seize it.

During training, he received a message from Wang Mang.

He already knew about Ye Liuyun killing Chen Qingshan and had communicated with National Martial Arts University about it.

Outwardly, they would say Chen Qingshan died in the Ferocious Beast Zone.

Perhaps some people would be puzzled, but that wasn't important at all.

Even if someone knew, it didn't mean everyone dared to speak up.

After all, Wang Mang stood behind Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun told Wang Mang the news that Chen Qingshan had a Master who was the school's vice-principal.

Upon receiving this news, Wang Mang was quite surprised because he hadn't known about it either.

If what Wang Mang said was true, then the other party was very likely allied with the Qiu Family.

This kind of invisible infiltration was quite formidable!

Before hanging up, Wang Mang told him a piece of news.

That was, he might be sent to the Western Front at some point.

It was possible they would directly confront the Qiu Family, so he should be mentally prepared.

Ye Liuyun was overjoyed upon hearing this news. Forget which front, as long as it was a front, he was happy!

After hanging up, Ye Liuyun immersed himself in the training hall for an entire day.

He slept that night, and the next day, he naturally reached the Intermediate Second Realm.

At the same time.

The Freshman Competition also arrived at its opening.

When the school announced that Ye Liuyun would be the chief invigilator, many students, whether from the heart or instigated by others, jointly wrote to protest.

They claimed Ye Liuyun got in through the back door, and his strength was shady, and so on.

This kind of almost baseless rhetoric was directly quashed by the school's release of the combat video between Ye Liuyun and Ye Xiong.

Furthermore, the school's high-ranking officials made a statement.

If anyone was unconvinced, the school could revoke Ye Liuyun's chief invigilator status and let him participate in the Freshman Competition.

This news instantly deflated the originally agitated students.

Ye Liuyun's strength was undoubtedly the number one among freshmen.

Not allowing Ye Liuyun to participate was to avoid putting too much pressure and comparison on them.

But they were ungrateful. If that's the case, then Ye Liuyun would participate.

Then they would see if it was real or fake.

Ultimately, this matter was left unresolved.

However, this incident also made Ye Liuyun sense an unusual meaning; this matter certainly wasn't done by the Qiu Family.

They wouldn't do something so idiotic, as this matter, even if successful, would have no impact on him.

Other than annoying him, it had no effect whatsoever.

"Big Brother, the students who led the protest have all been found. There are thirty-six people in total, all freshmen, and they were the ones who spearheaded it," Ye Xiong said, handing a list to Ye Liuyun.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Ye Liuyun saved the list. Tomorrow, during the Freshman Competition, he would use this list to find people.

As the chief invigilator, he certainly wouldn't play dirty; that would be an insult to his status, but!

His responsibility was to protect the students' safety. At that time, for these people on the list, even if they didn't want protection, they wouldn't be able to refuse!

He would also be protecting their safety.

No one could say anything about that!

"Big Brother, I've asked everyone I could about them, but they're all tight-lipped!" Ye Xiong snorted coldly.

He was very displeased with these people.

He had now become Ye Liuyun's loyal fan!

"Where's Xu Beichen? Did he go to the wilderness area?" Ye Liuyun wasn't that angry.

What these people said had no effect on him.

It couldn't even annoy him.

"No, Big Brother, he's preparing for a Breakthrough recently. He's in the training hall every day!"

"He's so diligent, what about you?"

Ye Liuyun asked, looking at Ye Xiong.

Since following him, Ye Xiong had been completely letting loose; he hadn't seen him Cultivate...

"Big Brother, I've really had enough. Before, the Qiu Family forced me to move forward, with daily Cultivation and Family assessments.

Now I feel incredibly relaxed. Just let me relax a bit longer!" Ye Xiong collapsed onto the sofa, stretching his body.

He had no great ambition, nor any desire to achieve great things. He just wanted to Cultivate slowly according to his talent, be a bit stronger than his peers, and that was enough.

Why work so hard!
