Hunting God Era

Chapter 201 I'll settle things once I've finished beating you all.
Li Ye's words were resounding, plunging the surroundings into a moment of silence.

"Hahahaha!"

The brief silence was broken by a burst of flamboyant laughter. He seemed to be watching a clumsy farce, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt and mockery. The laughter echoed in the empty space, particularly jarring.

Li Ye slowly turned his head, staring directly at the man. "What are you laughing at?"

Startled by the sudden gaze, Zhang Yang felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and his laughter abruptly stopped.

But shame and anger quickly replaced the slight palpitation, and for a moment, he was actually frightened.

I was intimidated by a newcomer.

"I didn't expect you to be so funny."

Zhang Yang suppressed his discomfort and said in a flippant tone, "Rankings are predetermined at birth. You either have them or you don't. It's fate. You got into Tianwu, don't you even understand this simple principle?"

With the addition of newcomers, there is the departure of veterans; those who are due to graduate will graduate; and the addition of those newcomers who are geniuses can fill the top 100 positions.

Aside from the initial rankings, the number of times the rankings can change afterward is extremely rare.

Back then, Zhang Yang was also one of the top martial artists in the province. Those who could enter the top 100 were all martial artists like him.

No one stops progressing after entering the rankings; everyone is improving and getting stronger. However, from the perspective of the rankings, it's as if no one is improving or getting stronger.

Not to mention the martial artists who couldn't even get into the top 100 from the start. Generally, if they can't get in, they really can't get in, and they won't get in until they graduate.

Moreover, Li Ye's words were so arrogant and boastful.

This 'junior brother' is indeed from the countryside, full of wishful thinking.

But this is also good, as it makes it easier for Fu Chuxue to see through this person's low character.

"so?"

Li Ye continued to look directly at him, his tone calm yet carrying an invisible pressure, "What are you laughing at?"

"Of course I'm laughing at your overestimation of your abilities."

Feeling uneasy under his gaze, Zhang Yang blurted out, "After showing so much, it's time to draw your sword."

“I’ve seen many people like you. You’re very ordinary, but you’re arrogant and your desires exceed your abilities, which leads to jealousy and resentment. But this is just your limit. People should accept their fate.”

Zhang Yang said, "You are different from Junior Sister Fu. Junior Sister Fu achieved a very high ranking in the assessment. She is a natural-born expert. You are not. What was your ranking in the assessment of your eight provinces?"

It's no wonder he didn't recognize them. China is too vast. The Eight Provinces Examination is somewhat famous, but ultimately it's for Tianwu. They are Tianwu students, so not many people pay attention to these things.

If it weren't for the emergence of Yuan Chu, he would have cared even less.

As for those martial artists ranked higher, they certainly wouldn't be like Li Ye, who looked ordinary but exuded an aura of power and the presence of a strong person.

Zhang Yang could sense that Fu Chuxue was at the second realm, but he had deliberately said that before, thinking that he would praise her after she revealed her realm, thus closing the distance between them.

But this person couldn't sense anything.

Even if an ordinary person gets into one of the top four universities, they are still just a genius among ordinary people, completely different from a genius among geniuses.

"It's good that my junior brother is ambitious, but I may not live to see it. I'll be graduating next year."

Chen Lin chuckled and chimed in, "They've all been delivered here. Now, let the junior brothers and sisters explore on their own. Senior Brother Zhang, we still have a welcoming mission. Oh, and this junior brother, I don't know your name yet."

She was just there to welcome the new students and didn't want to get involved in the tumultuous love and hate dramas. The rankings had nothing to do with her, and there was no need for her to offend anyone.

Most importantly, she felt that Zhang Yang was too aggressive. There was nothing wrong with liking someone, but praising a newcomer while belittling him was a bit excessive.

She wasn't afraid of offending Zhang Yang; although they weren't ranked, their family was still quite impressive.

Make a few jokes, but stop when you've got it covered.

I agree with what you said.

Li Ye ignored the senior sister and nodded to Zhang Yang, saying, "Desire exceeding ability will indeed give rise to ugliness, and people must accept their fate. So when I hit you later, you'd better not complain."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Lin and said, "By the way, my name is Li Ye."

Fu Chuxue's shout before was too faint, and no one paid attention at the time. This time, Li Ye introduced her, so everyone could hear it clearly.

This name sounds familiar.

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then her pupils shrank, and she exclaimed, "The King of Rebellion?!"

call!
The next instant, Zhang Yang was lifted into the air, as if struck in the chest by an invisible hammer. Without warning, he flew backward, his body turning into a blurry afterimage, crashing precisely into the tightly closed doors of the central main hall.

Bang!
The heavy palace doors swung open with a thud, and the surging body, carrying immense kinetic energy, plowed a long furrow into the palace's floor tiles before finally coming to a disheveled stop in the center of the square, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Almost the instant Zhang Yang landed, Li Ye's figure appeared out of thin air beside him like a ghost, so fast it was as if a frame of the video had been cut off. He didn't even look at Zhang Yang groaning on the ground, but only swept his gaze over the startled martial artists around the square, his voice echoing throughout the hall.

"The top 100 martial artists, step forward."

He casually flicked his wrist, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority, "Give me a good beating, and we'll be even."

"you"

A martial artist, filled with shock and anger, was about to speak when Li Ye merely glanced at him. The man froze, as if struck by thin air, and crashed into the wall with a loud bang before bouncing back.

"Well, they might not all be here."

Li Ye drew his sword from his waist. The sword hummed and instantly shot out countless dazzling silver rays. These silver rays seemed to have a life of their own, transforming into hundreds of spirit snakes that emitted sharp whistling sounds as they shot out in all directions.

From the outside, the main hall looked like a silver firework exploding, with countless streaks of light scattering and flying in all directions.

Before long, some martial artists were bound and entangled by the silver light, and dragged back to the main hall square from the air. Others were chased and forced down by the flowing light.

"Eighty-three, eighty-four"

As more and more people arrived at the main hall, Li Ye frowned as he counted them. "Something's not right. Are not all the people here? Then grab some others to make up the numbers."

The silver light swirled again. This time, Li Ye no longer locked onto the aura of the second realm, but instead locked onto some third realm beings. The bursts of light did not catch anyone, but they either drove people away or made them actively chase after the light to reach the main hall.

"a hundred."

Li Ye nodded, the tip of the Heaven-Slaying Sword pointing diagonally at the ground. "That's enough."

The people who arrived later were not young. While everyone was still somewhat bewildered, a middle-aged man shouted sternly, "Who are you? Do you know what you're doing?"

"I am a freshman. I have heard that the Central Heavenly Martial Arts Academy allows people to make friends through martial arts. I think this kind of thing does not need to be based on seniority."

Li Ye laughed and said, "Whether you are a martial artist or an instructor is not important. I'm here to beat you up today. I'll let you go after I'm done."

"Insanity!"

The middle-aged man shouted again, stomped his foot, and shot forward like an arrow, covering dozens of meters in just a few steps. His claws tore through the air with a piercing whistle, aiming straight for Li Ye's face.

Since things have come to this point, there's no need for further words. Whether they're newcomers or not, they're all here to cause trouble. "Oh, impressive claw technique, with sharp power, metal element."

After glancing at it, Li Ye flicked his sword, and the sound of metal clashing against the fingers rang out. The other man's claws moved like the wind, striking the blade rapidly, trying to press it down. However, Li Ye simply swung the blade around and pressed it down, and the man's expression changed.

boom!
The immense gravity crushed his entire body, causing him to collapse to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

"Guide, mentor."

Some martial artists exclaimed in surprise, and their expressions towards Li Ye changed.

Their mentor was a martial artist at the third realm.

"come together."

Li Ye raised his sword. "It's too boring to come one by one. Or are you arrogant and self-proclaimed elites not even as good as a peasant from the countryside, and don't even have the courage to come at me all at once?"

These words clearly angered the group. Regardless of how easily the three realms were defeated, several people rushed forward, some drawing their swords and knives, others using their fists and feet.

"Yes, that's right. Back then, my master was probably dealt with in the same way."

Li Ye suddenly swung his sword, and a terrifying shockwave, combining the immense pressure of a collapsing mountain and the ferocity of a bursting flood, exploded out in a fan shape.

The martial artists at the forefront were the first to be hit, as if they had crashed into a high-speed moving steel wall. Their protective energy instantly dissipated, and their bodies were sent flying like kites with broken strings. They burst open in mid-air, blood lines, and crashed heavily to the ground, their fate unknown.

"If you're so capable, then don't use a sword!"

A martial artist exclaimed in fear, "What kind of skill is it to rely on magic weapons!"

That sword was a major factor; it could both unleash a burst of light to bind people and exert extraordinary power. This person was acting violently by relying on a magical weapon, which was hardly the behavior of a martial artist.

"it is good."

Li Ye's lips curled into a cold smile. He flipped his wrist, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword plunged into the ground beside him with a hiss, disappearing all the way to the hilt.

He took a few steps forward, bare-handed, "I don't need a sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen figures rushed in from different directions like ghosts, forming an encirclement. Swords, spears, and halberds gleamed coldly, blocking all of Li Ye's escape routes.

"The response has been good."

Li Ye praised, then precisely dodged a slash by turning his body to the side. His right hand shot out like an iron clamp, grabbing the back of an incoming broadsword in the nick of time.

With a twist and a flick of his fingers, he deflected the blade's momentum, while simultaneously striking the knife-wielder's chest with his left elbow like a battering ram.

boom!
The knife-wielder's sternum cracked with a sickening sound, and he was shot backward like a cannonball, spitting blood.

At the same time, he quickly turned to the side, formed a claw with one hand, grabbed the blade that was slashing from the side, and then flicked it to the side, delivering a powerful elbow strike to the opponent's chest. With a bang, the air burst out, and the opponent flew backward like a cannonball.

Li Ye's fingers gripping the blade quickly flipped, turning the broadsword around. He then grabbed the hilt and swung the broadsword, drawing a sharp semi-circle.

The blade, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, precisely struck the shaft of another thrusting spear.

The gun-wielding warrior felt an irresistible force mixed with the impact of a mountain torrent penetrate his body. His arms were numb with excruciating pain, his tiger's mouth was split open, and he screamed as he was sent flying.

After slashing away with his sword, Li Ye did not stop. He continued to sweep his broadsword horizontally, and the heavy sword wind formed a fan-shaped impact, which swept away the remaining martial artists who were close at hand, breaking their bones and muscles along with their weapons. They flew backward with screams.

"You don't even need to use your hands, okay?"

He tossed the knife forward, landing it beside the warrior who had been knocked away earlier, and laughed at the remaining men, "Or, not even using your feet? I can actually do it with just my roar."

"Roar!!!"

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap from the heavens, resounded. Visible ripples of sound emanated from Li Ye, spreading out like a raging tsunami. The air was violently compressed and vibrated, emitting a piercing shriek!

The remaining martial artists in the square were as if they had been hit hard by an invisible giant wave. Those with weaker cultivation were tumbling backward like rolling gourds, bleeding all over their bodies. Those with slightly stronger cultivation felt their blood churning, dizzy, and as if their internal organs had shifted. They all bent over and knelt down in pain.

The entire main hall hummed and trembled amidst the sonic boom.

"Law, the seed of law!"

One of the third-realm instructors, who had barely managed to resist, was horrified: "You are a Heavenly Origin Rank!"

Those at the second realm cannot achieve this level of internal energy. On the contrary, as martial artists at the third realm, they are more aware of the power of the third realm.

There are three levels among newcomers, and he is...
"The famous rebel leader, on his first day of reporting for duty, was extremely arrogant."

Just then, an old but powerful voice rang out from the side.

Before Li Ye could even turn his head, a figure suddenly flashed past in front of him.

An old man with a weathered face but black hair and beard, clearly well-maintained.

四境
“I am the dean of Tianwu Academy. I know you. Li Ye wants to establish his authority, but he shouldn’t do it this way, right?”

The old man said slowly, "I know that someone at your level looks down on martial arts universities, but bullying the weak is not the way of a martial artist."

Don't you know why I did this?

Li Ye chuckled: "My master is Xu Yanwu. Speaking of bullying the weak, back then they were the ones who bullied the weak."

The old man paused slightly, his pupils dilated for a moment, and after a moment of stunned silence, he sighed, "Yan Wu, those who should have been punished back then have been punished."

“But I don’t think it’s enough.”

Li Ye said, "The old habits are back; look at these."

He glanced at Zhang Yang on the ground and sneered, "Each of you considers yourselves elites from prestigious families. You've only learned a little bit of rudimentary martial arts, and you're not only arrogant but you've even started to steal by trickery and force."

"Those who want to learn from overseas are not allowed in China. I am not only studying at Tianwu, but I am also a cadre in the elimination department. When necessary, I also have the power to clean house."

Li Ye's eyes turned cold. "I think another purge would be a good thing."

“You can’t make a move in Tianwu, so consider it a favor to me, Director Li.” The old man sighed, “This is an academy, a place for martial arts advancement, where there are no such miscellaneous matters.”

"I have no interest in bullying you here. It's up to you how you discipline me. It would be a waste of effort to train you, only for you to be eliminated by me after you've made no contribution. That would be a loss."

Li Ye drew his sword, Jie Tian, ​​and sheathed it. "Alright, let's consider this my entrance ceremony."

With that, he walked straight outside.

At this moment, Fu Chuxue also pushed open the door that only those at the second realm could open. Looking at the mess on the ground, she saw Li Ye coming towards her and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"There's nothing I can learn, so I won't waste my time."

Li Ye suddenly paused and said to Fu Chuxue, "You should join a sect. I also want to warn your sect not to commit any crimes and fall into my hands. If that happens, I won't be able to say anything."

His first goal is to clean up the domestic situation!

Small sects go without saying, but large sects...
Once he's finished cleaning up, he'll naturally have the strength and means to deal with major corporations!
