97: Without some skills, how can I teach people to cultivate immortality?

As Liu Lian's voice rang out, the entire Martial Arts Training Ground instantly erupted.

"Get him!"

"Spell Cultivators, prepare for indiscriminate coverage!"

"Sword Cultivators, find an opening and cut through his middle!"

The suppressed desire for battle, held by hundreds of students who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, completely exploded at this moment.

Multicolored spiritual energy clusters, Spells accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, and dozens of incomparably sharp Sword Qi, all came crashing down from all directions, overwhelming the twisted black shadow.

With this kind of Formation, let alone a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage enemy, even a small mountain could be instantly leveled.

Tian Yu Zhong Main God's Clone was completely bewildered.

What's going on?

How could there be so many Cultivators here?

Moreover, the cultivation of these people... all of them had Broken through the shackles of Qi Refinement!

Its mind was in chaos.

When the Ancient Demons taught Cultivation Techniques to the Human Race, they had clearly tampered with both the Cultivation Technique and the Bloodline, ensuring that the strength ceiling for Human Race Cultivators could only reach the ninth layer of Qi Refinement, never able to touch higher Realms.

This was to ensure that the Human Race, these "farmed livestock," could never resist.

But everything before its eyes completely overturned its understanding.

Amidst shock and fury, its battle instinct as an Ancient Great Demon still made it react instantly.

"Foolish ants!"

It let out a sharp mental roar, and its entire body exploded, transforming into a dense, impenetrable black mist that instantly enveloped half of the Martial Arts Training Ground.

All attacks missed, striking the ground and stirring up clouds of dust.

"Holy crap, it dodged?"

"Is this bastard a loach?"

The students were all somewhat stunned that their concentrated fire had missed.

Just then, Zhang Qiqi and Fang Yuan in the crowd exchanged glances.

"Thunder Spell!"

The two spoke in unison, simultaneously forming hand seals.

One had a Water Element Heavenly Spiritual Root, and the other a Thunder Element Heavenly Spiritual Root; their control over Five Elements Spells far surpassed ordinary people.

"Five Thunders Orthodox Law!"

Two equally pure streams of lightning power shot up into the sky, converged in mid-air, and instantly wove into a giant blue electric net that descended over the black mist.

Sizzle!

Amidst the ear-piercing crackle of electricity, the black mist violently churned, constantly dissipating as it was scorched by the pure Yang thunder power within the electric net, finally letting out a miserable shriek as it reformed into the twisted phantom.

It was forced back to its original form!

"Formation, activate!"

Xie Wangsheng, who had been observing calmly, seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and gave a deep command.

The Formation System students, who were already prepared, stomped their feet in unison, channeling spiritual energy into the ground beneath them.

Buzz!

A complex Formation, composed of dozens of Formation bases, instantly activated, its light flowing to form a gigantic transparent cage that firmly trapped the newly revealed Tian Yu Zhong Main God Clone in its center.

"Well done!"

"Nowhere to run!"

The students cheered.

But they quickly realized something was wrong.

Although their cultivation was similar to this evil spirit, the difference in battle experience and the application of power was like heaven and earth.

Even with a hundred of them attacking simultaneously, using all sorts of methods, they almost let it slip away with a single secret technique.

If not for Zhang Qiqi and Fang Yuan, these two Heavenly Spiritual Roots, coupled with Xie Wangsheng's precise command, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

At this moment, Li Heng, who had been standing silently on the high platform, slowly spoke.

His voice was calm, yet it clearly reached every student's ears.

"Do you feel it? The gap between you and it."

"This is merely a wisp of Divine Thought Clone left behind by an ordinary Great Demon from ancient times."

"Your understanding of strength is too shallow. Cultivation is just the foundation. What truly determines life and death are Cultivation Techniques, secret arts, and even more so, the battle experience honed through hundreds of life-and-death struggles."

The excitement on the students' faces slowly faded, replaced by solemnity and contemplation.

And Tian Yu Zhong Main God, trapped within the Formation, trembled violently the moment it heard Li Heng's voice.

It suddenly looked up at the man standing on the high platform.

This man's strength... how could it be!

This unfathomable aura was actually comparable to its own during its ancient peak!

It instantly overturned its previous judgment.

This person was definitely not a Mortal of this era!

He was also an old monster who had survived from ancient times!

It was just that he had used some secret method to perfectly preserve all of his strength!

"So it's you!"

Tian Yu Zhong Main God's Clone let out a resentful hiss.

"I didn't expect to encounter a peer in such a place!"

"I remember you! I remember the aura here! When my true body descends, I will devour you and all these blood sacrifices!"

Before it finished speaking, its entire body began to swell, and a destructive energy began to gather frantically.

It wanted to self-destruct this wisp of its Clone!

Even if it couldn't kill the opponent, it would make these youngsters pay the price!

"Heh."

Li Heng let out a light chuckle.

He merely lifted his eyelids and glanced at the phantom.

The next moment, Tian Yu Zhong Main God discovered in horror that the energy within its body, which was about to erupt, was forcibly suppressed back by an irresistible mighty power.

It couldn't even self-destruct!

"You want to run wild on my academy's territory?"

Li Heng's figure instantly vanished from the high platform, and in the next second, he appeared in the center of the Formation, standing before Tian Yu Zhong Main God's Clone.

He reached out and patted the constantly trembling phantom.

"Without some strength, how would I dare to open an academy and teach students Immortal Cultivation?"

After speaking, he gently flicked his wide sleeve.

"Universe in the Sleeve."

A vast suction force appeared out of thin air, and the Ancient Great Demon's Clone didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was instantly sucked into Li Heng's sleeve, disappearing without a trace.

The entire Martial Arts Training Ground was silent.

The students all stared dumbfounded at their dean.

That move just now had completely exceeded the scope of their understanding.

Li Heng put away the Clone, scanned his group of stunned students, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This thing is a good sparring partner."

"Later, I'll build a demon suppressing pagoda, throw it in there, and let you fight it every day to give you some practical combat experience."

The silent Martial Arts Training Ground, two seconds later, erupted in cheers like a mountain roaring and a sea surging.

"Holy crap! A demon suppressing pagoda!"

"Dean is awesome! This benefit is too good!"

"Fighting a boss every day! I feel like I'm about to reach Late Stage Foundation Establishment!"

Li Heng waved his hand, quieting the crowd's clamor.

"Alright, today's practical combat class ends here."

"Dismissed, class dismissed!"

The students then dispersed in twos and threes, still excitedly discussing the battle and the future demon suppressing pagoda, looking as if they hadn't had enough.

Soon, the vast Martial Arts Training Ground was left with only Li Heng.

He pulled out his phone from his pocket, skillfully unlocked it, and found a name in his contacts.

Then, he dialed.

The call connected, and he put the phone to his ear.

"Hello? Is that Boss Zhang? It's me, from Kunlun Cultivation Academy."

"Yes, I have a big project, and I'd like to discuss it with you."
