Chapter 407: Godly Debate Skills!

"YOU!" Huyan Pin glared at Yun Xiao with a look that could pierce steel.

Yun Xiao withdrew his six-foot Sovereign Sword, making it look as easy as stepping off a horse. In a blink, that Sovereign Sword shrank to a three-inch Flying Sword, neatly caught in his grasp.

"Think using a Sovereign Sword for a Palm Sword technique is something? Well, feast your eyes on this." Yun Xiao, with a sly grin, flicked the Flying Sword into the air. That little blade danced and darted, whipping up a mini storm, an azure tempest in the shape of the sun!

WHOOSH! A single swipe, and Huyan Pin had new, bloody decorations on her limbs, her bones shattered, blood spurting like fountains.

"Ugh..." Huyan Pin hit the ground hard, gasping for air, her pretty face twisted in agony. Losing a fight was one thing, but this was a downright thrashing!

There wasn't a sound from outside the pagoda, meaning the onlookers, her own father included, had just had their faces and vocal cords neatly sliced by Yun Xiao's surprise double feature!

You could only imagine their faces, a picture of pure, unadulterated shock!

"I...I..." Huyan Pin's mind went blank. She'd never faced real danger in the Primordial Ruins, but now, she felt like jelly. Yet, the pride of being a descendant of the high and mighty Three True Immortals kept her heart from outright quitting on her.

WHOOSH! In a flash, Yun Xiao was right beside her, grabbing her by the collar and yanking her up.

"Hahaha..." Huyan Pin let out a laugh.

"What's so funny?" Yun Xiao asked, puzzled.

"Just waiting for you to drag me down, then kneel before my dad and beg for a light punishment," Huyan Pin chuckled.

"Still dreaming, are you?" Yun Xiao quipped.

Huyan Pin paused, then with a smirk, replied, "Yun Xiao, are you saying the Primordial Ruins, under the rule of the Three True Immortals, is all just a dream? That's rich! Even Dean Yu wouldn't dare touch me here. Believe it or not!"

"Well, aren't you the bold one?" Yun Xiao gave her a look, then suddenly pointed up and behind him, asking, "The projection source, it's in that direction, right?"

"So what if it is? My father's on his way up!" Huyan Pin retorted with a frosty tone.

"Let's liven things up a bit," Yun Xiao said with a sudden grin.

That grin sent a shiver through Huyan Pin's pride.

With a swift motion, Yun Xiao dragged her into the blind spot of the projection.

"What do you think you're doing? I'm an examiner. Lay a finger on me, and you're in deeper trouble!" Huyan Pin snarled.Folll0w current novÊls on n/o/v/3l/b((in).(co/m)

"Are you daft? I've already killed Song Bomei. What's one more charge when I'm facing the gallows in five days?"

With those words, Yun Xiao's Heaven Burial Sword Soul pierced Huyan Pin's belly and lodged into her spine.

"Aaaaah!" Huyan Pin's eyes bulged, her body convulsed in agony, her skin turned ashen, and sweat poured down her face.

"You're correct," Lian Xi conceded with a nod. "Let the Mystic Zenith Temple investigate. I trust they will be just."

"Take him away," Dharma Crown Qin ordered.

"Wait!" Lian Xi pointed at Yun Xiao, "He's earned the rank of a Level 7 Ding disciple, granting him the right to bail three times before having to face the temple."

"He defeated an imposter, not a true examiner. How does that make him a Level 7 Ding disciple?" Dharma Crown Qin retorted coldly.

"Oh?" Lian Xi smiled, blinking, "By that logic, you're confirming that Huyan Pin was indeed an imposter. That's settled then, and I trust the judgment will reflect this fact?"

Dharma Crown Qin was momentarily speechless, outmaneuvered by a young girl. They had no desire to publicly admit the impersonation.

The very foundation of the Mystic Zenith Temple was law and reason, which Lian Xi has cleverly used to her advantage, backed by the silent support of the hundred robed figures behind her.

Dharma Crown Qin was faced with a choice. Admit to yet another scandal and take Yun Xiao away, or deny it and leave empty-handed.

"Take him away," the Manor Master said coldly. As Huyan Pin's father, he publicly acknowledged the impersonation.

"So, it's settled," Dharma Crown Qin announced to the crowd. "Huyan Pin indeed posed as an examiner against the rules. So, Yun Xiao is not considered a Level 7 Ding disciple and may be apprehended."

"Wait a minute!" Yun Xiao interrupted, "Many thanks for acknowledging Huyan Pin's deception. But, imposter or not, I remain a Level 7 Ding disciple.

"Nonsense," Dharma Crown Qin's gaze turned icy.

"No nonsense here," Yun Xiao retorted, pulling out the student handbook and pointing to a set of rules, "See this? The fifth floor of the Primordial Pagoda states that all I have to do is destroy the Primordial Armor. I did just that. Whether or not the person under that armor was a real examiner is irrelevant to my passing the floor."

Dharma Crown Qin was speechless. Outsmarted by a newcomer in her own game!

The crowd fell silent, their breaths held.

The prodigies of the Pathseeker Society were seething! They were beaten in combat and outwitted in an argument by Yun Xiao!

This was the Primordial Academy, not some lawless land under the Three True Immortals' influence. Without the upper hand in a public setting, one could only swallow their pride.

"Let's go, Lil Xi," Yun Xiao said, wrapping an arm around Lian Xi's waist amidst the silence. He was off to cultivate and practice the sword, with his newfound privileges as a Level 7 Ding disciple.

And there he was, ready to stroll out right in front of the Mysterious Sword Manor Master and Dharma Crown Qin.

"What's with the arrogance? You've only got five days left to live," someone from the Pathseeker Society sneered.

Yun Xiao ignored them.

"This guy's always stirring trouble, then relying on women to clean up his messes. He's going to be Lian Xi's downfall," another voice chimed in.

Yun Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. What else could he do? It was a bit much to expect a man to do the cleaning, wasn't it?
