240: The old principal who protects his child, Lan Jingtong's past (5k)

As the figures appeared, Jiang Yuan flipped his hand, and the purple card instantly vanished.

At the same time, under the powerful pressure, the Fat Leader also instantly fell from mid-air.

"I wouldn't dare!"

"Wouldn't dare? I think you're quite daring!"

Li Yueying's tone was cold, her face completely devoid of the gentleness Jiang Yuan had seen before.

"Jiang Yuan, kill!"

"Zhao Gongming, Nezha!"

As Li Yueying's words fell, Jiang Yuan looked at Nezha and Zhao Gongming, who had already arrived in front of him, ready to protect him at any moment.

When Jiang Yuan's voice dropped, Nezha and Zhao Gongming naturally understood what he meant.

Their pupils filled with murderous intent, they charged towards the two earthen mounds, wielding their Steel Whip and Fire Tipped Spear.

Nezha was a step ahead, flinging his Qiankun Circle to smash against the earthen mound, but as it was a Skill Card used by a Seventh Realm expert, its hardness was sufficient.

The Qiankun Circle's Universe Throw only created a pit and a few cracks on the earthen mound.

However, from the looks of it, Nezha would clearly be able to break this earthen mound in no time.

With Nezha making his move, Zhao Gongming on the side naturally didn't hesitate either.

He stepped on the Heavenly Gang Step, and a ball of lightning appeared in his hand.

As his final step landed abruptly, the earth trembled, and the lightning in his hand transformed into a spear, which he threw out.

"Lightning Escape: Qilin Sharp Spear!"

The Fat Leader was startled when he saw this, thinking, 'How did he learn my card skill!'

However, compared to that, he was more concerned about Sasaki Kawasaki and Sasaki Tetsuya, and quickly explained to Li Yueying.

"I am truly sorry, I was too concerned about the two of them. After all, they are renowned geniuses of our Yamato Race."

"Genius figures?"

Li Yueying sneered, "My student is also a genius, a genius who can kill a Da Liang Initial Stage expert in the Jiang Lou Mid Stage."

"But what about you? You bullied the weak and even launched a sneak attack on him. Do you really think my Zhongyuan Academy has no one? That the Human Race has no one?!"

As Li Yueying's words fell, they carried the powerful pressure of a Tenth Realm expert.

At the same time, the Demon Race Card Spirit on the side also appeared beside Li Yueying at some point, and the pressure of two Tenth Realm experts was released simultaneously.

The Fat Leader looked up at Li Yueying's cold eyes and immediately bowed ninety degrees without hesitation.

"It's my fault, please spare them!"

He remained bowed after apologizing, waiting for Li Yueying's reply.

Li Yueying showed a hint of disdain in her eyes when she saw his posture.

The Yamato Race's usual trick!

Disgusting!

"Their matters will be resolved by them, and our matters will be resolved by us!"

Li Yueying glanced behind her, where the two earthen mounds were gradually disintegrating under the attacks of Nezha and Zhao Gongming.

"Death matches must have their rules!"

Li Yueying's face showed a cold smile, "If I remember correctly, you were the ones who chose the death match!"

"You!"

Li Yueying's words completely crushed the Fat Leader, and he couldn't help but become enraged, looking up abruptly at Li Yueying and saying,

"We still have a chance now to end this battle, and then nothing will happen."

"What if I say no?"

"Our Yamato Race isn't a weak race either!"

The Fat Leader gritted his teeth, looking fiercely at Li Yueying, "Are you sure you want to offend our Yamato Race for the sake of a student's idea?!"

"Are you sure you want Zhongyuan Academy to offend the Yamato Race because of you?"

The Fat Leader coldly rebuked, "Sasaki Kawasaki is the next clan leader candidate of the Sasaki Family. Are you sure you want to bear the enmity of the Sasaki Family for the sake of this student's idea?!"

The Fat Leader asked three questions in a row, but as his words fell, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

However, there was no other way. If Sasaki Kawasaki died here, after returning, as a member of the Sasaki Family's subordinate family, he would not survive either.

Rather than that, it would be better to try his best to save Sasaki Kawasaki.

"Then let Sasaki Takeda come find me, if he dares!"

Another person appeared beside Li Yueying, speaking calmly to the Fat Leader.

The Fat Leader looked up at the slightly hunched old man in the sky, his pupils constricting.

The Principal of Zhongyuan Academy!

A powerful expert of the Eleventh Realm Great Fire (Early Stage)!

How could he possibly show up for a student, for such a minor matter!

The Fat Leader's heart instantly turned cold.

Let the old clan leader of the Sasaki Family come find him?

He wouldn't even be enough for one hand!

One must know that the clan leader of the Sasaki Family was only at the Ninth Realm - Chunwei Late Stage.

Forget about coming to find the Old Principal, with the strength of their old clan leader, after coming to Zhongyuan Academy, he wouldn't even be able to defeat the Vice Principal.

The Fat Leader instantly knelt after the Old Principal appeared.

He had originally wanted to use the Yamato Race and the Sasaki Family to put pressure, but he didn't expect them to not listen at all.

Indeed, with the Old Principal, an Eleventh Realm Great Fire (Early Stage) expert, personally stepping forward, let alone the Sasaki Family, even using the Yamato Race to exert pressure would be useless.

After all, the Yamato Race was only a Second-Sequence Race, and still a subordinate race of the Human Race.

However, the Fat Leader couldn't understand why even the Old Principal would show up for such a minor matter between juniors?

Didn't they say the Old Principal hadn't been in charge for a long time?

"Jiang Yuan, follow the rules. Zhongyuan Academy will always support you."

The Old Principal turned to look at Jiang Yuan, his face instantly becoming kind and gentle.

After giving Jiang Yuan a few instructions, he glanced at the Fat Leader, who was prostrate on the ground, and then disappeared after leaving a single sentence.

"Zhongyuan Academy is not a place where your Yamato Race can act wildly."

Only then did the Fat Leader understand why the Old Principal would come out to support Jiang Yuan.

Supporting Jiang Yuan was a small matter; the important thing was to support Zhongyuan Academy!

Did he hear the cheers of the students nearby?

This was the meaning of the Old Principal's appearance.

The Fat Leader only understood this now. If he had known earlier, he might not have chosen to use the Sasaki Family to exert pressure.

Even as one of the top families of the Yamato Race, the Sasaki Family was not worth mentioning in front of Zhongyuan Academy.

The Fat Leader felt despair in his heart, and could only prostrate himself on the ground, kneeling and trembling with his obese body.

"Old Principal is awesome!!"

Mu Qianshan's voice rang out from below the stage, and then other students also shouted out one after another.

"Old Principal is awesome!"

"Old Principal is awesome!"

The Old Principal, who had not yet left the shadows, also trembled when he heard the deafening cheers.

However, the next second, a relieved smile appeared on his face as he looked up at Mu Qianshan, who was leading the cheers.

In the arena, Jiang Yuan also showed a smile on his face, looking up at Li Yueying.

Li Yueying seemed to sense Jiang Yuan's gaze and also turned to look at him.

Their eyes met, and after Li Yueying nodded slightly, Nezha and Zhao Gongming pulled out the disheveled Sasaki Kawasaki and Sasaki Tetsuya.

"Kill!"

As Jiang Yuan's voice fell, Nezha and Zhao Gongming raised their weapons without hesitation.

"You can't kill me, I'm the next candidate for the Sasaki Family's clan leader!"

Sasaki Kawasaki shouted, "If you kill me, the Sasaki Family won't let you off!"

Sasaki Kawasaki roared hoarsely, while Sasaki Tetsuya did not speak, only showing a bitter expression on his face.

What was the point?

Coming up to save this nominal younger brother of his?

However, if he hadn't come up, after returning to the family, the family would probably punish him for Sasaki Kawasaki, a genius, dying in front of him, right?

Sasaki Tetsuya felt a chill when he thought of the terrifying punishments at home.

He was the one who said he wanted a death match!

Forget it, it's fine if he dies.

Sasaki Tetsuya did not speak, but Sasaki Kawasaki continued to clamor.

Things like the Sasaki Family wouldn't let them off, or the Yamato Race wouldn't let them off.

However, this did not affect Jiang Yuan and Nezha.

Nezha did not hesitate at all, sweeping his Fire Tipped Spear horizontally, its sharp tip directly sending Sasaki Tetsuya's head flying.

Zhao Gongming, at the same time, used his Steel Whip to smash Sasaki Kawasaki's head like a watermelon.

They had not yet reached the Sixth Realm Shi Shen, and without their bodies reshaped, they were only slightly stronger than ordinary people without their defensive equipment, but they still couldn't withstand weapon attacks.

Sasaki Kawasaki and Sasaki Tetsuya were dead!

They died in the arena of Zhongyuan Academy!

After Sasaki Kawasaki's voice faded and the cheers of the audience erupted, the Fat Leader's heart instantly turned to ash.

“Do the fifth-year students still want to continue the challenge?”

Li Yueying waved her hand, and a Purple Quality card shone, after which the bloody ground was restored to its original state.

Li Yueying did not leave, but coldly asked the Fat Leader again.

“No, no more, we lost.”

The Fat Leader still kept his head bowed to the ground, not daring to look up, but his voice still came out.

The remaining Yamato Race members did not dare to make any movement, merely looking at this scene numbly.

“Since the challenge is over, we won't keep you. You may leave on your own.”

After Li Yueying finished speaking, she turned to look at Jiang Yuan: “Come with me.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Yuan nodded. Red light shone in front of Li Yueying, and then a pair of mechanical wings appeared behind her.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment when he saw this and quickly took out a Purple Quality card.

Purple Quality Summoning Card [Flash Speed · Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast]!

Compared to the blue quality Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast, the purple quality Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast was not only faster but also more durable.

It also gained a [Flash Speed] skill, a rapid movement similar to instant transmission, allowing it to move ten meters in the fastest instant.

Jiang Yuan did not hesitate. After mounting the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast, he gestured to Mu Qianshan and then followed Li Yueying.

After Jiang Yuan and Li Yueying left, the few people in the shadows also departed.

“This kid Jiang Yuan is good. It was a huge loss that you didn't manage to take him as your disciple back then.”

“Indeed, I remember Liu Shengshan seemed to have wanted to directly give him to you back then.”

“But how was he eventually intercepted by Li Yueying?”

Immediately after leaving the combat arena, the three Vice Principals said to Wang Wenqing with a smile.

However, the teasing in their words was evident to anyone who heard it.

And hearing the words of the three Vice Principals next to him, Wang Wenqing's face couldn't help but darken.

“I gave him the chance back then to choose freely, but he just didn't choose me in the end.”

Saying that, Wang Wenqing explained again: “After all, he is a Card Creator, so choosing Li Yueying is a normal thing.”

After Wang Wenqing finished speaking, he did not hesitate and immediately accelerated away.

The several Vice Principals behind him watched Wang Wenqing's retreating figure with chuckles and then began to discuss among themselves.

“Does anyone here know the inside scoop? Why didn't Jiang Yuan choose Wang Wenqing as his teacher?”

“Who knows? Maybe it's truly as he said. Jiang Yuan is a Card Creator, so he ultimately chose Li Yueying.”

“But I heard a rumor that Wang Wenqing because…”

“Cough cough!”

The bald Vice Principal hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Old Principal's cough.

“Gossiping about others is not a very good habit.” Old Principal still had a smiling expression, but his authoritative gaze swept over every Vice Principal.

Regarding that matter, Old Principal was also aware.

After all, it was considered a scandal in his teaching career.

However, the matter had already passed, and the punishment for Wang Wenqing had already ended, so bringing it up now was meaningless.

But he was also somewhat fortunate, fortunate that Jiang Yuan did not choose Wang Wenqing back then.

Otherwise…

If another genius was forced into the demon race, he would truly have to use bloody means to clean up the academy.

Back then, it was precisely because Wang Wenqing was at the Tenth Realm Longevity Star Mid Stage, which was not weak even among the human race.

But even so, Wang Wenqing was punished by being sent to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

He could only return after killing three demon race individuals of the same realm.

Not only that, the rewards from Zhongyuan Academy during that period were unusually good, because those were all spoils of war Wang Wenqing brought back from the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

All of these were part of his punishment, for Lan Jingtong, who was forced into the demon race.

However, it was a pity that Lan Jingtong could no longer return.

Even if Wang Wenqing had met Lan Jingtong in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield back then, he was unable to call Lan Jingtong back.

And Lan Jingtong did not disappoint his genius title. Three years ago, when Wang Wenqing met Lan Jingtong in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, Lan Jingtong was already at the Eighth Realm Quail Fire Mid Stage.

However, according to news from human spies within the demon race, after Wang Wenqing encountered Lan Jingtong in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield that time, Lan Jingtong, upon returning to the demon race, decided to sever all ties.

Sever all ties with Wang Wenqing!

He wanted to choose to re-cultivate!

Abandon the path of a mechanical Card Master he had taken previously!

With Lan Jingtong's ability, even though he had abandoned the path of a mechanical Card Master, he had successfully forged a path in another direction.

This was something Old Principal knew himself and had not told others.

Because the reason Old Principal was not at school some time ago was because of Lan Jingtong.

He had met Lan Jingtong and understood all the circumstances clearly.

However, Lan Jingtong still refused to return to the human race.

Facing this situation, Old Principal could only sigh helplessly.

But fortunately, when he was not at school back then, Jiang Yuan also did not choose Wang Wenqing.

If Jiang Yuan had truly chosen Wang Wenqing, then who could know if Jiang Yuan would also walk Lan Jingtong's old path?

After all, their situations were quite similar.

Both were geniuses, both were born with myasthenia, and both successfully forged their own paths, not being confined by myasthenia.

However, the difference between the two was that Lan Jingtong was unable to solve his myasthenia on his own and chose to use external forces.

But according to Li Yueying, Jiang Yuan already has a method to solve the myasthenia in his body.

It's just that he hasn't created that card yet.

As long as he can create that kind of card, Jiang Yuan can completely solve his problem before the Sixth Realm.

Moreover, even if he cannot create that kind of card, Jiang Yuan has already told Li Yueying that he has several heavenly material and earthly treasure that can delay the onset of myasthenia.

With these heavenly material and earthly treasure, even if he cannot solve it through a created card, he can also resolve it by increasing his strength to the Sixth Realm and reconstructing his body.

Although from his perspective, even if Jiang Yuan doesn't create a card that can solve his body's problem, he can completely reach the Sixth Realm Shi Shen in the remaining nearly one year.

He always felt that Jiang Yuan's realm advancement speed was somewhat absurdly fast.

It felt like he had cheated.

Thinking of this, Old Principal shook his head helplessly.

Perhaps this was the difference between the two of them.

Sometimes he also wondered, if the teacher Lan Jingtong chose back then wasn't Wang Wenqing, would he also have been able to walk the same path as Jiang Yuan?

At the very least, he wouldn't have walked the path he is on now.

Old Principal sighed, glanced at Wang Wenqing's retreating figure, and then left.

On the other side, the Fat Leader in the arena, after everyone had left, finally looked up in a panic.

Listening to the human students' sarcastic remarks next to him, he quickly led the remaining Yamato Race members away.

They had to return to their Yamato Race world quickly; the human race was too dangerous!

However, it was good that he brought them back.

Many of the Yamato Race people were still somewhat bewildered at this moment, even the fierce look on their faces had not faded.

Things happened too quickly, from the leader stepping forward, leading them to contend with the human race, to the final reversal of the situation, and the Sasaki Family genius being killed.

All of this happened too fast.

So fast that they didn't even react to why they had fallen into a disadvantage?

Everyone was confused, but they could only follow their leader now.

After all, this was not their world, but the world of the human race.

The First Sequence Human Race!

Their suzerain world!

...

...

The Yamato Race people left in disarray. On the other side, Jiang Yuan followed Li Yueying to her office.

“Why didn't you go to the dongtian secret treasure eruption?”

Upon returning to the office, Li Yueying asked Jiang Yuan with some curiosity.

“Uh, I was originally going to go yesterday, but something unexpected happened.”

Jiang Yuan scratched his head, somewhat hesitant about whether to tell Li Yueying about the Purple Quality Cultivation Card [Great Firmament Celestial Art].
