29: Chapter 29: Resolving the Final Feud, Powerful Combat Strength!

Returning to the cultivation room of No. 7 High School.

While popping blood nourishing pills, Lu Qingyun recalled the information about the Tianjiao Camp that Principal Mu Mingsheng had just told him.

Jiang City was a small city located in the borderlands.

It was under the jurisdiction of Beihuai City, Lanchuan Province.

Compared to the entire Lanchuan Province, Beihuai City was nothing, and Jiang City was an even more inconspicuous area.

As for the Tianjiao Camp, it was an official prodigy training camp held annually by the authorities of Lanchuan Province.

Its purpose was to select the most powerful geniuses!

Due to its official nature, there were many resources in the training camp controlled solely by the authorities, making even the children of powerful families flock to it.

Most importantly, if one performed exceptionally well in the training camp,

the treatment they would enjoy after entering a Top-tier Martial University would be much more special than that of regular students!

Yet, over the years, Jiang City hadn't been able to produce a single proper student for a Top-tier Martial University, making the Tianjiao Camp even more of a distant dream.

"The Tianjiao Camp not only has abundant resources... but most importantly, there are many geniuses there, right?"

What Lu Qingyun loved most was places where the strong gathered.

[Level EXP +20... Level EXP +20...]

[Congratulations! The EXP bar is full. Level up successful!]

A wave of air erupted from Lu Qingyun's body, and his aura suddenly surged!

However, he didn't pay it any mind.

Instead, he continued to pop blood nourishing pills. The EXP gained did not decrease, steadily rising in an orderly fashion.

...

One day later.

Jiang City No. 3 High School.

The place was bustling with crowds and extremely lively.

A few young and beautiful girls gathered together, occasionally letting out crisp, bell-like laughter.

Among them, one was extremely eye-catching.

She had fair skin and a sweet smile.

Her clear, bright almond eyes sparkled with starlight. When she smiled, the corners of her eyes curved, and with two shallow dimples, it made people instinctively feel a protective urge.

"Linlin, you are amazing. It's only been how long, and you've already broken through to the fourth layer of the Mortal Shedding Realm."

"Hehe, not at all. Grandpa prepared quite a lot of blood nourishing pills for me. I feel like even if I burp, a puff of medicinal fragrance will drift out."

Wang Linlin waved her hands, a sweet and pure smile permanently gracing her face.

But in the next moment, she saw a gentle and elegant man holding a large bouquet of flowers ahead.

Her willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly.

The other party was a young master from a prominent family, with a good image and background.

Unfortunately... at present, she could not accept a life of losing her freedom after establishing a relationship.

Her eyes searched around, and suddenly, she saw a boy not far away who was blushing, shyly stealing glances at her.

Her eyes lit up instantly.

She quickly walked over to the boy and smoothly linked her arm through his.

Sensing the arm that instantly stiffened against her chest, she smiled slightly.

With a pure and moving gaze, she whispered, "Classmate, can you help me out? Just let me hold your arm like this for a little bit. Please."

The boy whose arm was held had never experienced such a thing. The softness from his arm and the faint fragrance so close at hand caused a rush of blood to his head, leaving him completely speechless.

He could only let Wang Linlin hold his arm, walking stiffly toward the gentle and elegant man.

As they passed by the man, Wang Linlin clearly noticed a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

But she simply ignored it.

After all, her grandfather was the principal of Jiang City No. 3 High School!

A powerhouse of the Tongqiao Middle Stage!

No matter how angry the man in front of her was, he would never dare to do anything to her.

As for this tool she had casually used... she didn't even know him, so what did he have to do with her?

She remembered that not long ago, a fool who hadn't even become a martial artist seemed to have had his legs broken.

But it was just two legs. Since he hadn't even become a martial artist at this age, he was destined to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life anyway.

"Thanks."

Having achieved her goal, Wang Linlin instantly released the boy's arm, casually dropping a word of thanks before turning to leave.

Right at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from behind her.

"Is a simple 'thanks' enough?"

Hearing this, Wang Linlin's brows instantly furrowed.

In her eyes, she had merely used him.

She had already let him take such a huge advantage, and he was still not satisfied?!

If a 'thanks' isn't enough, what else do you want?

Frowning, Wang Linlin turned around.

Only to see that another boy had appeared beside the previous one.

Furthermore, this newly appeared boy... gave her a sense of familiarity, as if she had just seen him not long ago.

Just as she was trying to recall, a sudden, sharp pain struck her abdomen!

Bang—!!

Her already slender waist suddenly bent double!

A mouthful of blood, along with several blood clots, sprayed from her mouth. Clearly, that punch had damaged her internal organs!

This person actually dared to lay a hand on her at No. 3 High School!

How dared he?!

Wang Linlin couldn't understand. With such a cute and pure face,

even if she accidentally did something wrong, he shouldn't have directly resorted to violence!

Couldn't they talk things through nicely?

What on earth was wrong with this boy?!

"Oh? It seems you still haven't remembered who I am."

"But didn't you personally claim before that I was your boyfriend?"

Lu Qingyun grabbed her hair, instantly pulling her head up.

Looking at her eyes, which turned from blankness to shock, he knew this pain-induced memory method had worked.

"Come, I'll give you a chance. Say my name."

Lu Qingyun slapped his final enemy across the face, swelling her fair cheek, and spoke in a cold tone.

Such a sudden turn of events had long left Wang Linlin in a state of utter confusion.

Besides, her memory of Lu Qingyun was only of his wails after his legs were broken. How could she possibly know his name?

Wang Linlin struggled, striking at Lu Qingyun with all her might.

But to her disbelief, as a fourth layer Mortal Shedding Realm cultivator, her punch landed,

yet Lu Qingyun felt absolutely nothing!

Instead, it felt as if she hadn't struck a body of flesh and blood, but an alloy steel plate!

"I'm... I'm sorry... I really didn't know..."

Wang Linlin's eyes grew red from crying, and a fear of the unknown welled up in her heart.

She didn't know how this boy in front of her could possess such terrifying strength in such a short period of time!

In fact, the feeling he gave her was just like her grandfather of the Tongqiao Middle Stage—completely matchless!

Remembering what she had done, she could not suppress the dread in her heart!

From beginning to end, she had always known what kind of fate her "playful" actions would bring upon those boys.

But she didn't care at all.

After all, she had a grandfather at the Tongqiao Middle Stage, so no one could do anything to her!

But now that she was in such a perilous situation, she finally felt a trace of regret!

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used you as a shield and caused your legs to be broken."

"It's all my fault. I'll compensate you, okay? Anything is fine. I can even be your real girlfriend. Please let me go..."

Wang Linlin took another punch from Lu Qingyun, and her consciousness began to blur. Yet, her desire to survive drove her to even start tearing at her own clothes.

She wanted to use this method to trade for a sliver of a chance to live.

However, she was facing Lu Qingyun.

Seeing Wang Linlin's pathetic little act, Lu Qingyun only felt like laughing.

He couldn't feel the slightest impulse toward a woman like this.

Someone like Jiang Yanqiu would be more like it.

He raised his hand, preparing to completely finish off this final enemy.

Just then, a voice filled with summoned courage suddenly rang out.

"L-Let go of that girl!"

Turning around, he saw the boy, who hadn't even comprehended Qi and Blood Power, taking a stance of the Mountain-Shaking Fist against him.

Looking at his stance, his Mountain-Shaking Fist seemed close to the mastery level, which wasn't bad.

It was just that... his brain didn't work very well.

Lu Qingyun smiled.

What was this?

A hero saving the beauty?

Or rather, saving the same beauty from the hands of this former "hero"?

Such innocent passion and bursting sense of justice made Lu Qingyun involuntarily recall his former self.

And so, he lifted Wang Linlin in his hand and walked over to the boy.

He handed Wang Linlin over, gesturing with his eyes for the boy to take her.

This scene was completely unexpected to the boy; he hadn't thought it would go so smoothly.

He didn't know what had happened between Wang Linlin and this boy, nor why his goddess kept crying out apologies.

But he knew that if he didn't stand up bravely at a moment like this, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life!

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

So, he did it.

Even though he knew that with his strength, not even having become a martial artist, it was basically impossible to change anything.

Yet, who would have thought, reality... seemed to have changed because of his sincerity and courage!

He reached out, his heart racing, to the point where his hands were trembling slightly.

He wanted to take his goddess back from the hands of the man before him.

However, the moment he just touched her waist...

Bang—!!

Blood splattered all over his face.

From Lu Qingyun's hands, he received Wang Linlin's body, and... only the body remained...

"I've put her down, so you can't put her down now, okay."

Lu Qingyun patted him on the shoulder, the threat in his tone completely undisguised!

Immediately, he raised his head.

He looked in a certain direction.

In his mental perception, an enraged expert was rushing over!

[LV12 Wang Jianshu]

[HP: 1724 / 1724]

[Physical Strength: 24.3]

[Mental Strength: 4.5]

[Skills: Cloud-Palm...]

...Before the person arrived, the frame appeared in Lu Qingyun's eyes first.

Before coming to resolve this final grudge, Lu Qingyun had naturally done some investigation.

He knew that behind Wang Linlin was the principal of No. 3 High School, an expert in the Tongqiao Middle Stage at his peak!

As his only granddaughter, Wang Linlin was deeply doted upon by him.

If there was even the slightest mishap, it would definitely be a grudge that would only end in death!

So, his original plan had already included Wang Jianshu as a target!

As for his reliance...

[Host: Lu Qingyun]

[Race: Ordinary Slime Warrior (Green)]

[Level: LV10 (Early Tongqiao) (12 / 10000)]

[HP: 6214 / 6214]

[Physical Strength: 35.7 (Congratulations, you have successfully shed the title of a combat-five-scum!)]

[Mental Strength: 36.2 (Your soul is relatively unique, causing your strength to be naturally stronger than existences of the same level. Now that you have a bit of strength, perhaps you can try growing limbs of varying lengths with it.)]

[Technique: Blood Fiend Arts (Merged with seven similar techniques): The upper limit for opening acupoints has been raised to 144, and the technique's level cap is LV14!]

[Martial Skills: Mountain-Shaking Fist (Master, 2154 / 10000), Nine-fold Collapse Fist (Master, 512 / 15000), Bronze Armor Body (Master, 5217 / 20000)... A Slime who knows martial arts is not a good magical beast! Although you are a non-elemental Slime, you can drown enemies by spitting on them!]

[BOSS Initial Mechanics: 1. Out-of-Combat HP Regen (After leaving combat, your status will recover to its peak at a speed of 20% per second!) 2. Infinite Growth (As a BOSS, your HP bar should be long enough to make the world tremble! Each time you defeat/kill a living being, you can absorb a portion of its HP based on its strength, permanently strengthening your HP bar!) 3. Execution (As a BOSS, any living being in an unhealthy state is not qualified to appear before you! Ignoring armor, damage reduction, and all protective means, attacks will directly cause the death of targets with HP below 20%!)]

...He was now a true Aperture-Opening Realm martial artist!

And his attributes were far superior to those of martial artists at the same level!

He even dared to have a 1v1 true man solo with Principal Mu Mingsheng!

Of course, if the opponent were Captain Yang Pinru, then never mind...

"The best way to resolve hatred is, naturally... to make the whole family neat and tidy!"

Lu Qingyun stood quietly in place, watching Wang Jianshu rushing over from the distance.

"Linlin!!"

Wang Jianshu was extremely anxious; after learning what had happened here, he had rushed over as fast as he could.

But from far away, he saw that familiar headless corpse!

Immediately, he let out a roar of extreme pain!

Wang Jianshu knew very well about Lu Qingyun's existence and what his granddaughter had done.

However, he had always felt that this was just children's play.

Even if Lu Qingyun had suddenly become powerful, befriended various experts, and even taken strong revenge by killing the Xing Family members, he still felt it was because the No. 1 High School principal had given him the opportunity.

Furthermore, Xing Li was just a relatively ordinary young master in the Xing Family; even if he were killed, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But his granddaughter Wang Linlin was different.

Not to mention that there was no direct grudge between them, just consider Wang Jianshu's long-standing image of being overprotective of his own.

Everyone knew that touching Wang Linlin was equivalent to fighting to the death with him, Wang Jianshu.

He had thought that this would be enough to keep things safe.

Yet, he never expected that this Lu Qingyun would be so bold as to come to his door directly and forcibly kill his granddaughter!

"You little beast! I want you to pay with your life for my granddaughter!"

Intense killing intent flashed in Wang Jianshu's eyes, and he never even considered that Lu Qingyun was being so unscrupulous simply because his rate of strength improvement far exceeded his imagination!

"Pay with my life? Heh—!!"

Facing Wang Jianshu's palm force, which was like a mountain toppling and a sea overturning, Lu Qingyun did not dodge at all!

He didn't actually know what level his strength was at now.

But he knew that a mere Tongqiao Middle Stage expert could be suppressed with a turn of his hand!

If he didn't have the confidence brought by such strength, he wouldn't have come to pick a fight on his own!

A simple punch was thrown!

Palm met fist, and the terrifying force caused the surrounding airflow to surge!

But at that moment, Wang Jianshu's figure flew out like a rag, landing heavily on the ground!

Lu Qingyun remained in place, motionless.

Not even his aura had fluctuated in the slightest!

The huge gap between the two was obvious!

"No... impossible! I, a dignified Tongqiao Middle Stage expert, have roamed Jiangcheng for decades, and you—how many years have you lived!"

Wang Jianshu's entire arm and half of his body had almost turned into a puddle of mush; he lay weakly on the ground, his eyes full of disbelief!

He had practiced bitterly for decades to reach the Tongqiao Middle Stage.

He could even be considered a big shot in the entire Jiangcheng!

Yet a mere student, a student who wasn't even a martial artist a week ago, could possess the strength to easily suppress and kill him in such a short time!

How unfair this was!

"Heh—!! If it's about living long, then what's the use of talent?"

Lu Qingyun sneered, walked up, raised his foot, and stomped down!

Ending Wang Jianshu's life completely!

[Killed LV12 Wang Jianshu, Level EXP +432, Max HP +324...]

After killing both of them, Lu Qingyun did not stop there.

He keenly sensed a gaze full of hatred locked firmly onto him!

Turning back, he met the eyes of that ignorant boy, which were filled with hatred.

He was clutching Wang Linlin's corpse tightly; someone who didn't know better might think that corpse was his mother.

Seeing Lu Qingyun's gaze turn toward him, he tightened his grip on Wang Linlin's corpse.

Even though he was terrified to the extreme, he still said tremblingly: "You... you kill the innocent so indiscriminately, you won't have a good end!"

"Oh? You mean you intend to uphold justice, right? Just because this woman rubbed her chest against you a few times?"

Lu Qingyun's words were very blunt.

He had no intention of understanding the psychological activities of such people.

After all, his predecessor, whom he despised the most, was also this type of person.

So, from the beginning... he never intended to let go of this boy who dared to step forward and wanted to protect Wang Linlin.

He stepped forward and tapped with his hand.

The two headless corpses fell together.

And after falling, perhaps due to the downward inertia of Wang Linlin's corpse, it actually broke free from the boy's embrace and rolled to the side.

Seeing this scene, the smile on the corner of Lu Qingyun's mouth could not be suppressed.

After re-checking to prevent any of these people from suddenly resurrecting, Lu Qingyun finally left.

As for the subsequent handling, he had already reported it to Jiang Yanqiu.

There would be specialized personnel coming to deal with it.

And all he needed to do was to devote himself entirely to the Tianjiao Camp and win a good ranking for Jiang Yanqiu!
