Chapter 24: First Place on the Earthquake Rankings!

  The iron railing opened again, and Qin Yi stepped up step by step.

  This was the first time he deeply felt the exhilaration of power overriding everything.

  The disciples waiting for testing around him looked at himself with eyes of reverence and awe.

  The shock Qin Yi brought to them was beyond their acceptance.

  Wu Peng was even more shocked and his mouth was agape.

  Those who thought Qin Yi was dead for sure almost had their jaws drop to the ground at this moment.

  The old man stumbled and staggered, constantly retreating.

  He didn't dare look directly at Qin Yi now, because the oppressive force that Qin Yi brought to him was too strong, like an abyss, making him feel chilled to the bone.

  Qin Yi stood ten steps away from Wu Chen Lao, his eyes coldly staring at him.

  This guy actually wants to put himself in a desperate situation, Qin Yi's killing intent is evident.

  "Qin Yi, calm down!" Wu Peng knew from his interactions with Qin Yi today that he was a decisive and ruthless person. At the very least, whoever provoked him would definitely be made to pay for it.

  But in Tiansheng College, beating an elder is a serious offense punishable by burning the perpetrator to death, let alone killing an elder!

  That would probably mean suffering the most severe punishment in the history of Tian Sheng College, never to be reincarnated for eternity.

  Qin Yi naturally knew that if he really killed the Wucheng elder now, he would stir up a huge disaster. However, they had no prior acquaintance, and if it weren't for his extraordinary strength, he might have already died several times today. This grievance, how could he swallow it?

  Qin Yi's fist was tightly clenched, with streams of air flowing around it, condensing into a small storm that surrounded his fist, whistling loudly like a fierce beast roaring.

  This scene is even more astonishing.

  Just then, a woman in a yellow cheongsam walked in from outside the door.

  The young woman's appearance was elegant and refined, looking to be only twenty years old. However, in her eyes, there was a faint hint of purple energy, which was the mark of an emperor's destiny. Her temperament was also noble and majestic, transcending the mundane world, making one feel ashamed of their own inferiority at first glance.

  She seemed to be strolling leisurely, but her footsteps were mysterious and subtle. In just a few breaths, she traversed a thousand paces and appeared in the midst of the crowd.

  Seeing Wucheng Laozu being forced by Qin Yi like a street rat, the woman asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

  The sound is like pearls falling onto a jade plate, like celestial music ringing out, making people's hearts feel expansive and their spirits delighted.

  The woman's voice suddenly made the scene tense and nervous, and the suffocating tension relaxed a little.

  The crowd of onlookers all gazed at the woman, but only for a moment. They couldn't help but lower their heads, feeling that to look at her again would be an insult to her.

  Wu Peng looked up and exclaimed: "Luo Luo Shifu!"

  Qin Yi also came in the morning and took a look at the person. With just one glance, Qin Yi felt the heavy pressure emanating from him.

  Although Sister Luo was just standing there, her aura was vast and majestic, like a boundless ocean, making people feel insignificant as ants.

  However, compared with other disciples' subservience, Qin Yi's eyes were clear and bright, his waist still straight as a pen.

  Cultivating the Black Python's Space-Shattering Strength, this divine ability allowed Qin Yi's breadth of mind and temperament to be greatly elevated. Even when facing a god or demon, he would not yield or show weakness.

  Taking advantage of the silence, Wu Peng quickly whispered to Qin Yi: "Luo Huan is the number one expert on the Earthquake List! And it's been two years in a row, consecutively ranked first. Her strength is at the seventh level of the Jie Dou boundary, and she is the most promising among the 600,000 low-level disciples in the college to advance to the Yan Hun Great Boundary. She is far beyond Chen Haofeng."

  When Wu Peng said this, Qin Yi was also secretly surprised in his heart.

  The highest state of human cultivation is the Soul Refining Realm, which is the limit of human physical potential. Upon reaching this realm, one's strength can rival that of a hundred ferocious bears, and when running, it's as if a hundred horses are galloping. A single person can easily slaughter an elite army of three to four thousand soldiers.

  Beyond the Soul Burial Realm is the Flame Soul Great Realm, but to advance from the Soul Burial Realm to the Flame Soul Great Realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Not only does it require one's own diligent cultivation, but also opportunity and heavenly fate.

  Seeing no one answering her question, Luo's gaze swept across the faces of everyone present.

  Under Luo Xiao's gaze, these people all had a feeling of being stripped bare, as if they were transparent.

  Luò's gaze swept over Qín Yì, finally stopping on the trembling Wú Chén elder.

  "Luò Huò, you've arrived just in time!" The elder Wú Chén was like a drowning man grasping at a straw, and he rolled and crawled to Luò Huò's side, pointing at Qín Yì: "This disciple dares to assault an elder, seriously violating the sect's rules. Quickly disable his meridians and send him to the Punishment Elder!"

  "Is this really happening?" Luo Xi looked at Qin Yi.

  "Sister, listen to me explain, things aren't like that." Wu Peng stepped forward and clasped his fists.

  "Did I ask you to speak?" Luo's scrutinizing gaze swept over Wu Peng, rendering him speechless.

  Her aura was simply too overwhelming, and everyone in the room except for Qin Yi was completely suppressed by her.

  Qin Yi took a step forward, looking straight at Luo Xue without fear: "Sister, things are not as Elder Wu Chen said."

  "Luò huò, don't listen to his nonsense." The elder Wú chén waved his hands and feet, spitting stars of saliva everywhere, "Quickly take him down."

  "Shut up!" Qin Yi suddenly let out a loud shout, the air waves churned, Wudeng Lao issued a strange cry, his eyes rolled back, retreated several steps, his face turned red and white, covering his chest, unable to speak.

  This was still Qin Yi showing mercy; if he had made a ruthless move, a loud roar would have been enough to shatter the eardrums of Wucheng Elder into pieces.

  Luohuo looked at Qin Yi with a bright gaze and asked: "Then tell me, what just happened?"

  Luò opened his mouth, but Wú Chén Lǎo covered his chest and hesitated, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't say anything.

  Seeing this scene, Qin Yi understood that Luo Huan was a low-ranking disciple, but in the academy's hierarchy, he was higher than Wu Chen.

  This was also Qin Yi's first experience of what it means for power to be respected.

  Taking Na Luoxu as an example, she is the first in the Earthquake Rankings and a master of the Soul Burial Realm. Even though Wu Chen was an elder, because his strength wasn't comparable to hers, at this moment he could only rely on Na Luoxu's benevolence.

  This further ignited the heroic spirit in Qin Yi's heart, yearning to control great power and send all those who spoke of benevolence and morality but did despicable things into reincarnation.

  "Return to the words of Shifu sister." Qin Yi cupped his hands and said: "I came to participate in the apprentice disciple test, but this Wucheng Lao seems to have listened to someone's instructions, and when it was my turn to take the test, he released a mother earth fire spider."

  "Spider Mother?" Luoluo exclaimed in surprise, "That's a monster that can rival the Blood Sacrifice Boundary, you..."

  Luò Huǒ's body moved slightly, a strong gust of wind blew by, and she was already on the sandy field thousands of steps away.

  At a speed like lightning, it made all the people present extremely astonished.

  Qin Yi's eyes shone with a fierce light, his fists clenched tightly as he thought to himself that one day he would also possess such swift and fierce speed.

  In an instant, everyone's eyes widened in shock as Luo Hua returned with a gust of wind, her face filled with uncontrollable surprise. She stared at Qin Yi: "You killed the Spider Mother?"

  "Yes." Qin Yigang nodded, and Luo Huan suddenly rushed towards Qin Yi, with an overwhelming momentum, forming a huge whirlpool.

  Wu Peng was startled and wanted to stop him, but it was too late. The elder Wucheng's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he glared at Qin Yi with resentment.

  Qin Yi didn't move, allowing Luo Hua's slender fingers to press against his brow.

  "Why aren't you moving? Can't react in time?" Luo Xiao frowned and asked.

  "Sister Shī doesn't have a murderous aura." Qin Yì's gaze was calm and peaceful as he exchanged glances with Luò Huò.

  Luò's eyebrows relaxed and she smiled slightly: "I just wanted to test your skills, don't be nervous."

  Seeing Luo Luo was just a test for Qin Yi, Wu Peng finally put his mind at ease, but the face of Wucheng Lao turned extremely ugly, as if it had fallen from the clouds.

  "Don't be nervous, what's your current state?" Luo asked, a thread of true energy entering Qin Yi's body and wandering through his meridians.

  When the true energy flowed to Qin Yi's heart position, Qin Yi felt that the Huangquan Jidan in his heart had shrunk and hidden in the deepest place, which was not discovered by Luo Hua.

  "In response to Shi Jie's words, I am now at the first level of the Blood Sacrifice Realm." Qin Yi spoke up, instantly drawing a burst of astonishment from those around him.

  Wu Peng's eyes widened in shock, and Wu Chen Lao's eyeballs nearly popped out.

  "The first layer of the Blood Sacrifice Boundary is not enough to easily kill the Spider Mother, do you have any other tricks?" Luo asked.

  "I was once struck by lightning, and my meridians were widened, so although I'm only at the first layer of the Blood Sacrifice Realm, my actual strength is equivalent to the third or fourth layer." Qin Yi's words were the same as what he told Wu Peng, but he didn't reveal his true strength. In fact, he was now capable of fighting against a ninth-layer cultivator of the Marrow Cleansing Realm!

  Luò Huò investigated and found that Qin Yi's meridians were indeed wider than those of ordinary people, so she didn't suspect anything and immediately believed Qin Yi's words.

  "Sister Master, what I just said is true, every word of it. The disciples here can all bear witness for me." Qin Yi added.

  "Luo Hua Shijie, my name is Wu Peng, I'm an outer disciple. Qin Yi was brought in by me, and I can also testify that today's test indeed had the Spider Mother, it was too suspicious." Wu Peng observed the situation and knew that Qin Yi surpassed him, so he had even more intention to make friends with him. Since he could still show his face in front of Luo Hua, he didn't hesitate at all and was willing to testify for Qin Yi.

  "Alright, I know," Luo Xiao nodded, "You're called Qin Yi, right? Your strength is indeed at the Blood Sacrifice Realm. According to the rules of Tian Sheng College, you should be an outer disciple."

  Luò Huò grasped at the void, and her true energy surged. The jade token at Qin Yī's waist suddenly flew into her palm.

  Luò's fingertips quickly brushed across the jade plate, waves of true energy surging and gathering, as if steaming, and after a moment, a yellow light flashed by, and the characters on the jade plate had turned yellow.

  Taking the jade token, Qin Yi was both surprised and delighted. He hadn't expected to have such good luck, and Luo Hua had directly helped him advance to an outer disciple!

  "Thank you, Sister!" Qin Yi hastily expressed his gratitude.

  Being promoted to an outer disciple means having more cultivation resources than an inner disciple and a much better living environment.

  Moreover, among the outer disciples, there are also upper and lower ranks. Qin Yi's current strength is obviously one of the best among the outer disciples. Now that he has gotten to know Luo Hua, the number one on the Earth-Shaking List, although it doesn't mean he has a powerful backer, at least in Tian Sheng College, Chen Huafeng will have to think twice before finding trouble with him.

  Those apprentices who were still waiting for their turn to take the test looked at Qin Yi with eyes full of envy that they could not suppress.

  They would have liked to become Qin Yi one by one, doing great things like killing the Spider Mother, intimidating the elder, and forming a contract with Luo Lu.

  At this moment, the one with the worst complexion is probably Wú Chén Lǎo. Originally, he still wanted to use this matter to fawn on Chen Huáng Fēng, after all, in the test, having a disciple die was nothing that anyone would care about. But who could have predicted that this time they kicked an iron plate, and Luo Lu just happened to be here.

  At this moment, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. How could he be so cheap? Chen Huafeng told him to get rid of an apprentice himself, and he hastily agreed.

  "Wudeng Elder, the disciples' assessment has brought about a transcendent demonic beast. Although there were no unexpected events, you're also aware of the consequences, aren't you?" Luoxiao said coldly to Wudeng Elder, "At that time, it'll be troublesome for you to personally go to Punishment Elder's place."

  The old man's face was ashen, as if he had aged ten years in an instant. He moved his lips to argue, but in the end, only softly uttered a single word: "good".

  "Qin Yishi, from now on, you should focus on your studies at the academy. I hope to see your name on the Earth Ranking List in half a year."

  Farewell Lu Luo, Wu Peng led Qin Yi out of the testing arena.

  Wu Chen Lao at this moment was like a stray dog, not daring to look at Qin Yi again, and his previous arrogance was gone, like two different people.

  "Are you going to punish Elder Long? This punishment is too light, isn't it?" Qin Yi spoke up as they walked further away.
