My name is Wei Qing, and I want to fight the Xiongnu.

No matter which side it's from, as long as you pay money and give points, you can rent it.

Now that things have developed to this point, anyone who dares to step in and mediate is guaranteed to incur public wrath.

It's not just cutting off people's source of income, it's also cutting off their path to education.

Even the hatred for killing one's father is no greater than this.

Wei Qing led his men to the training ground, dismounted, and said to Cao Ying, "See if there's anything we need, and buy it. Even if we spend all the money, there are still more than 1,200 legions waiting for us to harvest."

Cao Ying grinned and said, "Of course. Our Han Army may not have much else, but we have money and points. If we can't kill those bastards today, we'll use money and points to crush them to death."

Wei Qing said coldly, "Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, come with me. The rest of you, wait here and await my orders."

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!"

At this moment, the students watching seemed to see in Wei Qing the unique charm of a famous general.

Wei Qing led the two men into the training ground and headed straight for the ninth grade.

He was also a student of the Martial Arts Academy, but this was his first time at the training ground.

The ninth graders were relatively concentrated in the training ground because there were indeed fewer of them.

After rounds of elimination, only one in ten students remains.

Of every hundred new students, less than five will stay for nine years.

In the entire Martial Arts Department, there are fewer than two hundred ninth-year students in total.

When the ninth-grade students saw Wei Qing arrive from afar, their eyes were all focused on the two students from the Snake Moon Tribe.

The meaning is quite clear: they've come to see you.

Both of them have reached the realm of transcendence, but there are different levels of transcendence. The ninth grader just entered the realm of transcendence. His talent is not bad, but compared to the likes of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, he is too mediocre.

Even Zhao Yun and Dian Wei today could take on two of them at once.

The ninth-grade instructor frowned slightly when he saw Wei Qing appear. Even though he knew in advance that Wei Qing would come to cause trouble today, he was still very dissatisfied.

To block the door when he's giving a lecture is practically a provocation: "Wei Qing, what are you doing here?"

Wei Qing identified the two Snake Moon Barbarians, then looked at the instructor and said, "I am a student of the Martial Arts Academy. I accidentally wandered into the wrong training ground. Is that not allowed?"

The lecturer said with displeasure, "If there's nothing else, leave immediately."

Wei Qing laughed and said, "That's how it should be, but... do I think there are two ninth-grade students who are this bad? There is a freshman behind me who is about the same age as me and has already reached a transcendent level."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun stepped forward and said, "I am Zhao Yun, a freshman. I have heard that the ninth-grade students in the Imperial Academy are exceptionally strong, and I would like to come and learn from them."

The lecturer was no longer calm after hearing Zhao Yun introduce himself.

As a lecturer in the martial arts department, I had naturally heard that a martial arts genius had come to the Imperial Academy.

Zhao Yun was a disciple of Tong Yuan, the spear master of Penglai.

Although Tong Yuan's two students were of average talent, they both entered the Zhenshanhai realm.

This Zhao Yun is said to be far more talented than his two senior brothers. Even Tong Yuan himself often says that Zhao Yun is far superior to him in terms of talent in martial arts.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun was willing to stand up for Wei Qing as soon as he entered the Imperial Academy.

The lecturer wanted to refuse, but refusing would make him seem less courageous, so he looked at the two students from the Snake Moon Barbarian Clan.

After exchanging glances, one of the Snake Moon barbarians said to Zhao Yun, "We are a few years older. If we fight you, people will say we are bullying the weak. Let's just forget it."

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "It's alright. If I were to lose to the two senior students, it would be because I am not skilled enough."

At this moment, Wei Qing interjected, "Since you feel that you are bullying the weak, and that losing is shameful and winning is not honorable, then I'll offer a small prize of 500 points. If either of these two seniors can defeat Zhao Yun, I'll give him 500 points for free, how about that?"

Five hundred points?

Upon hearing this number, many ninth-grade students present were immediately intrigued and turned to look at the two members of the Snake Moon Barbarian Clan. They were clearly showing great sincerity.

Seeing that the two remained silent, neither agreeing nor refusing, Wei Qing had no choice but to continue, "It seems that you two don't care about these points. Then I might as well add some more. Five thousand points should be enough, right?"

Five thousand!?

Many students felt their brains rush with blood and their eyes turn red when they heard this number.

The gazes they cast toward the two Snake Moon Barbarian students were filled with envy and jealousy.

Even if all the ninth-grade students combined in a year, they often wouldn't earn 5,000 points.

Wei Qing really went all out!

..........

Sorry to keep you all waiting, the climax of this volume is finally here!

Chapter 45: I'm here to cause trouble!

The ninth-grade students nearby began to worry for their classmate.

What are you waiting for? You don't have to pay if you lose, so why don't you just agree?

Wei Qing waited for a long time, but seeing that the two still refused to speak, he said with some frustration and self-pity, "Isn't five thousand points enough? How about I add some more? How about fifty thousand points? As long as you can beat Brother Zhao, I'll give you fifty thousand points on the spot!"

fifty thousand?

Not to mention the students, even the lecturers were astonished by Wei Qing's extravagant spending.

Even though he knew that the two students he had taught were probably no match for Zhao Yun, he still had a chance to fight. Most importantly, if he lost, he would only suffer some injuries.

For martial artists, getting injured is a common occurrence.

"Sheqing, Shelin, what are you waiting for? Agree to it!"

"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, we'll just lose. But if we win, that's 50,000 points!"

"Yes, I agree. I believe Wei Qing is a man of his word."

The students around them couldn't help but urge him on. It was only because Wei Qing specifically asked to find the two brothers from the Snake Moon Tribe that Snake Qing and Snake Lin hesitated.

Someone else jumped in and snatched it away a long time ago.

Wei Qing said, "Although I, Wei Qing, come from a humble background, I have never gone back on my word. Fifty thousand points is not a small amount, but I can certainly afford it. What? Are neither of you afraid to accept it?"

Even if you know there's a slight difference in strength, you still have the courage to take a gamble, right?

"We're just sparring, not a life-or-death battle. Both sides are holding their own, and there won't be any fatalities or injuries. What's there to be afraid of?"

The classmates around Wei Qing couldn't bear to watch any longer after hearing what he said.

Even though they knew Wei Qing was there to cause trouble and to put them down, Wei Qing still showed his sincerity.

If you don't dare to fight in this situation, you'll become a laughing stock among your peers.

Even some of the younger generation would laugh at the ninth-grade students of the martial arts academy for being spineless.

"Snake Green, Snake Lin, is that all the courage you have?"

"To fight or not to fight? Aren't you usually so arrogant? Why are you all mute today?"

"Say something! If you're too scared to fight, then don't fight. Are you just standing here pretending to be a stone pillar?"

She Qing and She Lin looked at Wei Qing, their hands clenched into fists in their sleeves, but they quickly relaxed them, saying with an attitude of "letting it slide," "It's not that we dare not spar, it's just that the lecturer is giving a lecture now, and making a move at this time would only damage the lecturer's reputation."

If this junior student insists on sparring, let's wait until the lecturer finishes the morning class, and then we can test our skills together.

They are waiting, stalling for time, waiting for the people backing them up to arrive.

Wei Qing took a few steps forward and walked up to She Qing and She Lin. Seeing that they had no intention of fighting, he directly tore off the mask of politeness and said in a gradually cold voice, "I can understand that it is not convenient to spar now."

However, aside from the sparring, it seems that you guys stole my things a few days ago.

I heard that there were sacred objects belonging to your Snake Moon tribe inside, so you took them back.

I can understand that. Actually, I don't know either whether those things are sacred objects of your Snake Moon tribe.

If I knew, I wouldn't have spent money to hire someone to help me find a replacement.

So, this whole thing was a misunderstanding.

It is only right that you take the things back; I, Wei Qing, have nothing to say about that.

But why did you hurt Xu Qi, the one who delivered things to me? He was just helping to deliver something.

As a result, you humiliated him and even went so far as to injure his bones. If I hadn't discovered it in time, he would probably be completely crippled.

What a cruel heart, what vicious methods!

Today I'm here not only because Brother Zhao wants to exchange some pointers with you, but also to seek justice for Xu Qi!

"Now I'm giving you a chance. Come with me to see Xu Qi, kneel down and apologize, beg for his forgiveness, and pay him several thousand or tens of thousands of points, and this matter will be settled. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

The lecturer knew his two students quite well and knew that they looked down on those who were relatively weaker.

Even among some of the Xiongnu barbarians, students from other tribes were subjected to their insults and beatings.

So I always felt that what Wei Qing said was probably pretty accurate.

However, the conditions Wei Qing set for dismissal were far too unreasonable and were not aimed at peace talks at all.

The lecturer frowned and said, "Wei Qing, this matter involves the Martial Arts Department and the Weapon Forging Department. I think it would be more prudent to hand it over to the Law Enforcement Department."

Wei Qing arrogantly retorted to the lecturer, "I don't think this is appropriate! Since we are all students of the Martial Arts Academy, let's resolve this in our own way. Why should the Law Enforcement Department get involved?"

"Snake Green and Snake Lin, I'm giving you three breaths to think it over. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

"Three, two, one... Go!"

The moment Wei Qing spoke, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei pounced on him.

We must earn points today, and we must also fight the Xiongnu barbarians!

Seeing that Wei Qing had attacked without warning, She Qing and She Lin exchanged a glance and then reached out to grab Wei Qing.

To catch the thief, first catch the king; let's take down Wei Qing first.

Wei Qing had been on guard against these two, and the moment they made their move, he let out a wolf howl.

Even though both of them were extraordinary masters, they were still a beat too slow to act when they heard the wolf howl in such a hurry.

This half-beat of time gave Wei Qing ample opportunity to retreat several steps, avoiding the two men's attacks.
