"Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword!"
A surge of sword qi transford into a brilliant arc, rging sword intent and fiery martial intent to erupt with dazzling brilliance, slashing towards Zhou Yuan with overwhelming force.
The clash between blade qi and sword qi tore the blue brick floor apart with its terrifying waves of impact.
However, at this mont, no one cared about who would win the battle. Their eyes were fixated on Chu Nan, furiously rubbing their eyes.
"Am I... am I seeing this right?"
"Nine... nine... nine... nine Martial Wheels!"
"How is this possible? How could a Yang Wheel martial artist forge nine Martial Wheels? How did he do it, how did he do it!"
For a mont, everyone was deeply shocked by the nine mighty Martial Wheels behind Chu Nan.
Let alone nine Martial Wheels; even six Martial Wheels in the Battle Academy are exceedingly rare, and nine Wheels are nearly legendary.
They looked at Chu Nan as if observing a rare creature, wishing they could reach out and touch him.
Even Zhou Yuan widened his eyes, shaken to the core upon seeing Chu Nan’s nine Martial Wheels, unable to comprehend how one could achieve crafting a full nine Martial Wheels!
Crack!
At this mont, the sword qi and blade qi simultaneously crumbled, yet Chu Nan and Zhou Yuan remained evenly matched!
Unbelievably, Chu Nan had forcefully withstood a profound-grade martial skill!
Zhou Yuan’s mind was shaken, especially seeing Chu Nan’s nine Martial Wheels, surging with a hint of killing intent as he thought about how such a prodigy, if allowed to grow, would leave no room for them in Qingxuan Province or the Canglan Sect.
It was known that grudges between the Canglan Sect and Cyan Mountain Sword Sect had accumulated over many years.
Just as Zhou Yuan intended to attack again, Chu Nan’s aura suddenly surged once more.
Boom!
The nine Martial Wheels behind him emanated a radiant light, the aura of Yang Wheel’s third tier pervading the entire Mission Hall.
Under the imnse pressure of Zhou Yuan’s profound-grade martial skill, Chu Nan finally fused his intense spiritual power within him, successfully completing the last step to break through to the Yang Wheel third tier.
His spiritual power and physique began to transform instantly, causing Chu Nan’s strength to surge once more.
The battle intent in his eyes grew more vigorous, and with a casual punch, he explosively unleashed even more terrifying power than before: "Zhou Yuan, use whatever moves you have!"
Seeing Chu Nan break through during battle, everyone widened their eyes again. Nine Martial Wheels and breaking through on the spot—it’s sothing many martial artists wouldn’t even dare dream of, yet Chu Nan had achieved it so effortlessly.
Their anger towards Chu Nan for taking Zhang Baii as a maid dissolved into admiration, realizing they have no right to be jealous given Chu Nan’s exhibited talent.
Even Zhang Baii looked at Chu Nan differently, her eyes showing a trace of struggle.
Zhou Yuan, however, gritted his teeth, feeling the huge threat of Chu Nan’s breakthrough, gripping his long blade intending to attack again.
This ti, even if he couldn’t kill Chu Nan, he wanted to seriously injure him!
Just as Chu Nan and Zhou Yuan were at each other’s throats, a loud shout erupted from outside the Mission Hall: "Stop!"
A terrifying aura descended, causing everyone to change their expression.
"Law Enforcent Hall, mbers of the Law Enforcent Hall are here!"
"Private battles are a major offense; they’re likely to face significant punishnt this ti."
Amidst the discussions, a group of martial artists clad in blue battle robes rushed into the Mission Hall, led by a stern and awe-inspiring elder emanating authority.
Radiating the aura of a Divine Light Realm Martial Artist, even Chu Nan’s mind slightly trembled.
In Cyan Mountain County, one might never encounter a Divine Light Realm Martial Artist in their lifeti, but there are many opportunities in Cyan Profound Mansion.
Upon seeing the elder, Zhou Yuan imdiately pointed at Chu Nan, stating:
"Elder Xing, it’s Chu Nan. Chu Nan attempted to forcibly take Zhang Baii as a maid. Zhang Baii refused, so he severely injured her. I couldn’t stand by, so I stepped in to diate, yet he still remained stubborn!"
"Such audacity warrants punishnt, Elder Xing."
Elder Xing’s expression turned angry, astonished that such matters occurred within the Battle Academy, and his gaze towards Chu Nan changed instantly, secretly thinking, "Am I seeing things wrong due to my old age?"
After rubbing his eyes, he confird the sight of Chu Nan’s nine Martial Wheels.
At that mont, he felt as if struck by five thunderbolts—when did the Battle Academy take in such a prodigy capable of forging nine Martial Wheels, practically snatching creation from the heavens!
Originally intending to reprimand Chu Nan, Elder Xing suddenly shifted to a calm tone: "You are Chu Nan, correct? Did Zhou Yuan speak of you?"
In the Battle Academy, strength reigns supre, especially favoring talented disciples. As long as there’s no mortal grudge, preferential treatnt for prodigies is common.
Elder Xing bypassed asking Zhang Baii directly, turning instead to Chu Nan, providing him another chance to explain himself so he could openly "favor" him sowhat.
Chu Nan produced a betting agreent and openly recounted the entire situation to Elder Xing.
Starting from Zhang Baii’s provocation to setting the wager, Chu Nan won the bet, yet Zhang Baii remained unsatisfied, among other details.
Elder Xing nodded repeatedly upon listening, then turned angrily to Zhou Yuan: "What right do you have ddling in the wager between Chu Nan and Zhang Baii?"
"Relying on superior cultivation to bully your junior, simply despicable!"
"I now punish you to face the wall at the Cliff of Reflection for three days, as an instructive lesson!"
Upon hearing, Zhou Yuan’s face displayed fear: "Elder Xing, I was rely pursuing righteousness~"
The Cliff of Reflection is perpetually surrounded by thunderbolts; spending three days there would leave him half-dead even if he survived, and he naturally didn’t want to accept this punishnt.
Seeing Zhou Yuan still dare to resist, Elder Xing felt his authority challenged, shouting angrily: "Defy punishnt further, and it’ll be seven days facing the wall!"
With this directive, Zhou Yuan dared not speak further, fearing continued resistance may extend his wall-facing sentence to a month, making death preferable.
Following this, Elder Xing turned to Chu Nan: "Though you had a prior wager, initiating conflict doesn’t adhere to regulations."
"I’ll punish you to face the wall at your own estate for seven days without leaving!"
Chu Nan promptly responded: "Thank you, Elder Jin."
This punishnt for him was essentially no punishnt at all.
Next, Elder Xing looked at the injured Zhang Baii and stated: "You’ve defied the wager, unforgivable. From now on, you must fulfill it, or face the wall at the Cliff of Reflection for a month."
This pronouncent left Zhang Baii’s expression pale as paper, knowing Elder Xing’s decree ant she’d struggle to escape from Chu Nan.
Chu Nan once again stated: "Elder Xing is fair and bright, disciple respects!"
Elder Xing was quite satisfied with Chu Nan’s attitude, gently stroking his beard: "Chu Nan, you’ve just joined the Battle Academy; don’t beco complacent."
"The path of a martial artist is endless. Any slight laxity leads to lost efforts; heed this wisely."
Although wanting to build rapport with Chu Nan, Elder Xing was after all a Divine Light Realm martial artist, with his pride and status intact, unwilling to lower himself.
Showing so favoritism was the limit of what he could do.
"Disciple heeds the counsel," Chu Nan responded gratefully, following which Elder Xing and the Law Enforcent Team took Zhou Yuan away.
Zhou Yuan glanced back at Chu Nan, secretly gnashing his teeth, intending not to let this matter rest.
He was determined to settle the grudge of facing the wall at the Cliff of Reflection for three days!
