17: Chapter 17 Why take so long? One day is enough! Let the blockade begin!

"Mortal Aperture Style, activate false apertures."

"However, I can open at most three. Whether in terms of quality or quantity, it cannot compare to a true Aperture-Opening Realm martial artist."

"But for a Mortal Shedding Realm martial artist, it is enough to crush them!"

Lu Qingyun flipped through the copies of the two techniques, and the panel had already cataloged them.

Although he looked down on them a bit.

However, Lu Qingyun didn't mind spending some time to master the basics.

At the very least, it was a method.

Moreover, for him, the cost of such a short-term enhancement secret technique was almost non-existent!

It could completely count as permanent combat power!

"Practice!"

Under the out-of-combat recovery mechanism, Lu Qingyun would never suffer from exhaustion or hidden injuries caused by pushing his body beyond its limits.

Furthermore, digitization ensured that every one of his training sessions resulted in real, tangible progress and improvement!

This visual pleasure made him almost forget the passage of time.

In his eyes, only the constant improvement of several martial arts remained!

...

Ding—!

Inside the Jiangcheng Second Affiliated Hospital.

Principal Mu Mingsheng watched the wounded being rushed into the emergency room, his eyes filled with an irrepressible ferocity.

His usually gentle face was now incomparably cold.

Beside him, the person dressed in military uniform was none other than Captain Yang Pinru, the administrator of the martial artist examination site!

"How is the situation?"

Captain Yang Pinru pulled a cigarette from his pocket and instinctively lit it.

But upon realizing where he was, he rubbed it out with his fingers.

"One Aperture-Opening Realm martial artist died, and out of seven late-stage Mortal Shedding Realm martial artists, three died and four were seriously injured."

"Although we destroyed this blood sacrifice by the Blood Demon Cult, some scum still managed to escape."

"The Martial Arts Bureau is currently in charge of the pursuit, but the hope is slim. Those Blood Demon brats are like rats in a sewer; they are very good at hiding."

Principal Mu Mingsheng's gaze was cold as he said this.

Among the three Mortal Shedding Realm martial artists who died, one was an acquaintance of his.

After receiving the distress call, he rushed to the scene without stopping, but he was ultimately a step too late.

Captain Yang Pinru patted Principal Mu Mingsheng's shoulder without offering any comfort.

People like them had witnessed life and death countless times and were long accustomed to the deaths of colleagues and comrades.

After all, they themselves might die one day in the future.

The only thing they could do was to avenge them as much as possible!

"Alright, we will handle the rest. You are a figure in the education sector now; it is better to return to where you belong."

Captain Yang Pinru said.

Before Principal Mu Mingsheng could speak, a phone call came in.

He quickly answered it, and after listening for a while, he said with some surprise: "What!? My uncle was injured and hospitalized?"

"Damn it! Which bastard dared to touch someone from my Yang family! Yes, I am at the Second Affiliated Hospital right now. The seventeenth floor, right? I am going over to see him now."

Captain Yang Pinru walked away, cursing.

Principal Mu Mingsheng looked at the unchanging light of the emergency room, and after a moment of silence, wanted to turn and leave.

But just as he turned, he suddenly thought of something.

Captain Yang Pinru's uncle... isn't that Teacher Yang Ting, whom he asked to teach Lu Qingyun!

So... Teacher Yang Ting was beaten into the hospital!?

Who did it!!?

After realizing this, Principal Mu Mingsheng also hurriedly rushed to the seventeenth floor.

A possibility faintly emerged in his heart.

He shook his head, actively dismissing that thought.

"Impossible. Old Yang is a veteran from the battlefield; how could he be beaten up by a student? Besides, he went to teach blade techniques, not to fight. How could he end up in the hospital after just one day?"

"Captain Yang Pinru should... have more than one uncle, right?"

...

"Uncle! Uncle!!"

"You are still so young, how did you end up like this!"

"Tell me, who did it! I, Captain Yang Pinru, will call up hundreds of brothers to kill him!"

Inside the ward, Captain Yang Pinru looked at Teacher Yang Ting, whose hands were covered in wounds and who was staring blankly at the ceiling, and his emotions flared up instantly.

This was his beloved relative and friend!

When he first joined the army, if it weren't for his uncle guiding him, he probably would have died in the mouth of some ferocious beast long ago.

Now, seeing his retired uncle not only failing to enjoy his later years in peace but instead suffering such great harm, his eyes instantly turned red.

"Who do you want to kill!!?"

"Who told you to go kill anyone!? I'll beat you to death, you brat!!"

Originally, Teacher Yang Ting did not intend to pay attention to this nephew who was ruining the Yang family's reputation.

But upon hearing that he wanted to avenge him, he immediately became furious!

Not to mention that it was his own lack of skill that led to him being beaten by a little kid.

Furthermore, if his nephew went to cause trouble and delayed Lu Qingyun's training, he would probably blame himself for the rest of his life!

He immediately wanted to get out of bed and kick the kid a few times!

Captain Yang Pinru didn't want to be kicked by his uncle in public, so he immediately pressed Teacher Yang Ting back down when he tried to get up!

"Ouch, you brat!"

"You've grown capable, haven't you? Broken through to the Aperture-Opening Realm and become a big official, thinking you're something special, right!"

"You want to go cause trouble without distinguishing right from wrong, and now you dare to lay hands on me! You wait, after my injuries heal, I will bring my blade and come find you! At that time, we will settle both old and new scores, and at the very least, I will cure you of your disgraceful bad habits!"

Teacher Yang Ting said, cursing after being pressed back down.

Just then, Principal Mu Mingsheng entered.

He had realized something was wrong when he heard Teacher Yang Ting's voice outside.

After hearing their conversation, the doubts in his heart deepened.

After a while.

Two surprised voices came from the single-occupancy ward.

"What!? You mean to say that Lu Qingyun not only cultivated the Mountain-Shaking Fist to the Grandmaster realm and possesses the Mountain-Shaking Fist intent, but he even comprehended blade intent and beat you into this state with just one strike!?"

"You mean the person who injured you is that kid Lu Qingyun!?"

Unlike Principal Mu Mingsheng's surprise, when Captain Yang Pinru heard the name Lu Qingyun, he instantly recalled the combat genius from a day ago who had led him to make a small investment.

This meant that just after he had handed over one million.

His uncle was beaten into serious injury right after!

What a disaster!!

"Principal Mu, his blade technique is already beyond what I can teach. As for martial arts... someone who can cultivate the Mountain-Shaking Fist to the Grandmaster level on their own has top-tier comprehension. I'm afraid he doesn't need my guidance; he can learn it by spending some time."

"My Thunder-Shock Blade... I won't pass it on. After he finishes cultivating those two martial arts, he should be able to pass the Martial Examination and enter a Top-tier Martial University. Compared to the martial arts there, my methods... are truly a waste of his time."

"So, I thought about it. I won't go anymore. From that one strike of his, I witnessed true blade intent. I want to see the scenery of that realm in my lifetime."

Teacher Yang Ting's eyes shone with light.

He had practiced the blade his whole life but failed to comprehend blade intent for a long time, which even made him lose the thought of practicing the blade at one point.

It was only because Principal Mu Mingsheng had done him a favor that he agreed to help.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of this experience that he witnessed how sharp, exposed, and domineering true blade intent could be!

That was the path he hadn't been able to walk down before, and now he wanted to pick it up and continue stepping forward!

"This... alright. I respect your decision."

Principal Mu Mingsheng didn't say much else.

Because he had only wanted Lu Qingyun to have more combat power initially so he could do something for him.

Since it now appeared that what he once thought were shortcomings were actually strengths in Lu Qingyun.

Then naturally, there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.

As long as he maintained his current speed of progress, when the Martial Examination arrived, there would definitely be a great hope of suppressing No. 1 High School, letting him fiercely ride on the neck of that old thing from No. 1 High School and mock him!

Ring-!

The phone rang, and Principal Mu Mingsheng answered it.

On the other end came the anxious voice of a teacher from No. 7 High School.

"Principal, come back quickly, something big has happened!"

"Lu Qingyun is currently blocking the gate of No. 1 High School in your name! He can't be persuaded to stop at all!!"
