Chapter 125: Compare

In the Third Education Building.

By now, there were over forty students present. The arrival of Lian Ying and his companions didn't cause much of a stir.

After a brief wait, Yu Chijie, the instructor, arrived. Before the students could say anything, he immediately began, "Today, we will discuss the relationship between Force and the circulation of qi and blood—"

"Enough with the lectures! We've memorized these lessons by heart. Grandmaster Yu, let's get straight to fighting."

"Yeah, Grandmaster Yu, you promised us practical class. But we've only had nineteen matches in ten days. That's hardly enough! Grandmaster Li next door has twenty matches a day. Your progress in ten days can't even match his one day."

"Didn't you rest yesterday? Why are you resting again today? Are we going to fight or not? You grandmasters are so fussy. You treat each match like you're going to the execution ground. There's no urgency at all."

The students urged him on, with no sign of respect in their words.

The sight of the students behaving this way gave Lian Ying, who was eagerly awaiting a practical match with Yu Chijie, a bad feeling.

Zhang Shan couldn't help but mutter, "Only nineteen matches in ten days? This practical class is so lame."

"Tell me about it," a student seated next to him immediately agreed and complained. "Is it that hard to admit you can't do it? If you're not up to it, why hold a practical class? I should have signed up with Ran Jinghua. He is a Martial Saint. His teaching quality should be far superior."

At that moment, another student chimed in into the conversation. "Brother, if you think highly of Martial Saint Ran's teaching quality, you're too naive. Let me tell you about it; up to now, he has only fought sixteen matches. That's fewer than Yu Chijie."

The student was a bit surprised. "Sixteen matches? But I heard he fought about ten matches a day."

"Nine out of ten matches are just drills, can you believe it? They hardly even use their Aura Force. No one so much as spits blood! The teaching content is incredibly watered down!"

The student who joined the conversation last complained, "Now that I think about it, Grandmaster Li is more reliable. At least his fights were real."

Zhang Shan found it hard to believe. "Things are actually so bad with the other teachers?"

"You didn't know?"

"No, I've been studying under Grandmaster Li for the past ten days."

"Wow, brother, how did you manage to get lessons with him for ten days straight? Teach me your ways."

"Well... I don't really know. Maybe it's because our names are simple and easy to remember for him?"

The group whispered among themselves, causing the classroom order to deteriorate. However, Yu Chijie couldn't say much in response. This was because the instructors in Astral Hall didn't hold as much authority as those in outside schools.

Yu Chijie knew that if he let the students continue like this, the class wouldn't proceed smoothly. In the end, he reluctantly said, "Let's have a practical combat lesson then."

His organs still ached even after taking the medicinal supplements.

His mouth couldn't but twitch. How exactly does Li Pin conduct his classes? Does he have a piece of healing astral equipment at home? But even astral equipment can't restore the primordial qi depleted from Blood Core Eruption. Could It be that he is taking the Pill of Rebirth like candy every day?

Yu Chijie regretted starting a practical combat class just because he couldn't stand Li Pin taking their students.

If he wasn't careful, he might end up biting off more than he could chew.[1]

Pondering, he quickly scanned the students. His eyes soon landed on Lian Ying and brightened up immediately.

He knew Lian Ying. Half a month ago, Li Pin had beaten him along with two other students alone. From this, it was evident that, while he might possess some skills, his overall level was likely limited. Moreover, he looked like a pushover.

Yu Chijie quickly suggested, "Since we have a new face here, why don't we have him demonstrate to us his practical combat skills first?"

Lian Ying was momentarily stunned. He tentatively pointed at himself with a little surprise. "Me?"

Yu Chijie's pupils dilated. It's unstoppable!

Having just unleashed one burst of force, Yu Chijie had no time to launch another. In this situation, his only option was to retreat.

He fell back violently!

However, having retreated, he lost the initiative.

Lian Ying had experienced many brutal battles and was far more adept at combat than before. He would not miss this opportunity.

As Lian Ying strode forward, he leveraged his pure strength alone to close the gap between him and Yu Chijie. His palm, infused with immense force, followed Yu Chijie's retreat and struck with devastating impact.

The palm strike surged like a floodgate opening, unleashing a torrent of power akin to a thousand galloping horses, crashing down relentlessly.

Not good!

At the crucial moment, Yu Chijie had no choice but to guard with his arms.

Bang!

The force exploded. The impact shook the Aura Cultivation Grandmaster violently.

Lian Ying's qi and blood were far superior to Yu Chijie's. Having already been in a disadvantageous position, Yu Chijie's arm twisted unnaturally as he blocked against the fearsome strength. The overwhelming power hit his arm and slammed it against his chest.

"Thousand Kills! Break!" Lian Ying roared.

He leaped up and, like a ferocious beast charging forward, crashed into Yu Chijie with a terrifying momentum.

Under this violent onslaught, Yu Chijie felt as though he was being crushed by the Atomic Will, and his eyes filled with fear.

Bang!

The sheer force of the impact made Yu Chijie feel as though he had been hit by a speeding truck. He was thrown ten meters away and flew off the stage, still shaking from the blow.

"Ha!"

Lian Ying roared, instinctively mimicking Li Pin. He took a giant stride forward, ready to chase after Yu Chijie and deliver another powerful blow before Yu Chijie had the chance to touch the ground.

However, Lian Ying saw Yu Chijie spewing blood in the air, forming a mist of crimson blood.

Lian Ying instantly halted his pursuit.

Bang!

The pause allowed Yu Chijie to crash heavily to the ground with a dull thud. He continued to slide backward for several meters

"Cough, cough..."

He struggled, trying to stand up and maintain his image of an instructor. However, before he could rise, he hacked out another mouthful of blood.

"Ugh..."

Seeing the tragic and pitiful sight, Lian Ying stood there, stunned.

For a moment, the only thought in his mind was... Grandmaster Yu... is he really this fragile?

1. suggests that if you take too much risk, you might end up in a worse situation than before. ☜
