Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 439 Breaking Up the Troublesome Person

"I, with my self-discipline, can cleave the heavens and kill one with a single stroke."

"Riding a white deer, I charged in and out seven times, and with each swift stroke of my blade, what did it matter if a hundred or eighty Blood Shadows surrounded me?"

"Even if a thousand or eight hundred more came, they wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from me."

His words clearly indicated that he was after the Marquis of Hanshou, and that everyone else was just a target for his scheme.

This is an old postwar custom: Ji Rui is just bragging.

Although he had experienced countless grand occasions, in the past, either his classmate Zao or Ning Caichen had put on a terrible show. This time, it was finally his turn to put on a real show.

In short, when faced with the rampage of the Blood Demon, the monk wept and the students were terrified, but he stepped forward to turn the tide and save the collapsing building.

This story could go on for seven or eight days, and it would go through three or four revisions in no time.

However, this time there was one more that was also packed in the same way.

"The Yue Maiden Sword Technique was personally taught by Master Xu, capturing the power of heaven and earth and fully embodying the essence of swordsmanship. If my training hadn't been so short, I certainly wouldn't have allowed that Blood Demon to act so recklessly yesterday."

Zhu Yingtai's smugness was also justified.

With the Nanming Yehuo Sword and the Yue Nu Sword Technique, he wreaked havoc on all sides, his power even surpassing that of Ji Rui.

After all, the characteristics and special effects of the Karmic Fire are more eye-catching. Facing the Blood Shadow, one would die if one grazed it or even if one touched it.

Looking back, it's perfectly plausible to boast about it, and anything associated with Xu Xuan is bound to be high-class and prestigious.

All three agreed that Zhu was undoubtedly a kendo prodigy.

Until Xu Xuan returned.

"Very good, they are all here."

In the blink of an eye, five people were hanging on the back mountain, their black iron chains wrapped around the big trees, lined up in a row, which was quite a sight.

In someone's eyes, men and women are equal, so punishment should also be equal.

Looking at the young people with their various expressions, Xu Xuan smiled gently.

I finally have some time to deal with them.

It's impossible to expect students not to cause trouble; it's just fate.

Once the fortunes of these five special individuals converge, unless they remain within the academy's grounds and do nothing, they will likely encounter trouble whenever they venture outside.

What's more, this time they went to the most stable cause-effect refresh point in Qiantang.

However, encountering the Blood Demon was truly a stroke of incredible luck. Could it be that the effects of Liang Zhu were so remarkable?
Since that's the case, let's help these guys improve their skills and give them some tasks to do this time.

Xu Xuan will now focus on cleaning up the waterways in Jiangnan and will no longer allow these five people to wander around freely.

So the first student to be assigned was Zao.

"Going to West Lake for help was the right thing to do, and your cultivation of the Haoran Sword Qi is also very good, but taking the junior students to the painted boat is not right."

It's understandable that young people enjoy romance and poetry, but your body can't handle the strain.

I've spoken to Lord Yu about this. Starting tomorrow, I'll be going to the Jintian Academy for a month-long exchange program to properly hone my spirit and physique.

Zao nodded in shame, admitting that as the leader of the Three Wonders, he had made a mistake by not keeping an eye on Ji Rui and by leading two new classmates into a trap.

As for building up physical strength, just think of Yu Gong's robust physique to know how powerful his body is.

With Professor Xu's special care, this advanced study might be tough.

Then their gazes turned to Ning Caichen.

"He has excellent control over the demonic thoughts within the zither; he can even fight against the Blood God Child."

Ning felt a chill run down her spine; these weren't pleasant words.

In fact, Xu Xuan didn't quite understand whether the male protagonist's demonic nature was a bit excessive.

The Blood Demon being no match for the Qin Demon is truly defying the norms of the cultivation world. Could it be that love is limitless, hence power is limitless? The Demon of Emotion, not the Qin Demon, is even more superior.

"I heard that you have already grasped the joy of childhood, so it's time to learn some more respectable tunes."

"You can begin learning Professor Shi's many ancient pieces and the Three Pure Ones' music."

"Remember, the trials in your life are not over yet, so don't let your guard down."

Upon receiving intelligence from Yangzhou, Fu Tianchou had already set off from the capital and would arrive soon, accompanied by his wife, children, and family.

In principle, high-ranking officials of the imperial court should not bring their families out of the capital unless they are appointed to a post outside the capital.

However, due to the Emperor's great favor, the Imperial Censor, who was in charge of supervising inspections, was allowed to leave the capital with his wife and children.

This act of kindness is chilling.

Ning Caichen looked somewhat grave. If Master Xu said there was a calamity, then it was coming. He would discuss with a few friends in private how to get through it.

As for fear, there was none at all.

To put it bluntly, they were all ruthless people who had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The next gaze turned to Ji Rui, beside Zhu Yingtai.

Ji, who had been ignored, felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He was doomed.

Everyone knows that the law does not punish the masses, but it would be too much to handle if it were targeted individually.

Zhu also felt the indescribable gaze, and his previously arrogant temperament was immediately shattered. Hanging on the tree, he looked like a little rabbit being bled.

"The academician's wife said that you were able to come to study because you had a three-point agreement with your family."

Zhu Yingtai felt ashamed, realizing that she had almost completely forgotten everything since arriving at the academy.

"What I'm saying is that those things are not important. What's important is to take care of your own life, otherwise the academy will be in a very difficult situation."

"Zhang Hua was burned by karmic fire once before using the Nanming Karmic Fire Sword, and almost failed the test and turned into ashes in the underworld."

"This time, taking a shortcut also involved a huge risk."

"This sword will not only harm others but also harm itself. You were imprisoned in a cage before, so you didn't have much karma, and you were also foolish, which is why you escaped this calamity. Once you come into contact with more worldly affairs and read more books, you will naturally burn yourself in the fire."

"Practice your swordsmanship well, and I will find a suitable weapon for you separately."

Xu Xuan felt he should take better care of this impulsive female protagonist; this girl always seemed to get caught up in danger inexplicably.

This time they even dared to touch the karmic fire; it's a case of ignorance breeds fearlessness.

Zhu Yingtai was initially frightened; she hadn't expected that the bright red divine sword to be so dangerous.

But he forgot about it in less than a moment, replaced by a feeling of surprise and joy. We're going to get a new divine weapon too?!

However, this way of learning is indeed somewhat skewed.

When I got home, my mother asked me what I had learned at the academy. I told her I learned the Yue Maiden Sword, killed a few Blood Gods, and made some friends in the martial arts world.
It sounds absurd, but so what?

She has seen another way to break free from the cage.

Zhu Yingtai's thoughts were quite unpredictable, while the gaze from the infinite heights had already settled on Liang Shanbo.

Hanging from the tree, Liang Shanbo looked bewildered and somewhat aggrieved.

He was a conscientious scholar his whole life, always the model child in other people's families.

Who would have thought that their first trip to the pleasure boat would end in such an accident?

Then they were drawn into a battle that was enough to shatter all conventional wisdom.

Actually, he had already shown signs of this when he first entered the academy. He met a mad monk on Feilai Peak with Sanqi, and at the time he thought he was just an ordinary eccentric hermit.

Looking back now, wasn't this a warning sign, a premonition that my future academic career would be life-altering?
