The entire arena fell into dead silence.
Peak Spirit Gathering strength!
And yet, someone was kicked fifty or sixty meters away!
Just what kind of monster was this instructor, who looked far too young?
An Yi said lazily, "You so-called senior students really don't make things easy for your instructor, do you?"
The members of the Eastern Mystic Society stared blankly at the relaxed An Yi, then suddenly shuddered, their legs trembling slightly.
How strong Wan Feng really was, these colleagues who spent every day with him naturally knew.
Though he was only at Peak Spirit Gathering, when you factored in all his trump cards, he could even handle a Heavenly Pillar early-stage spirit user with ease.
No one expected that this guy had just casually kicked him away with a single blow!
"Haha, Instructor An Xiang is awesome!"
"Time to put these arrogant scumbags in their place."
The students from the special recruitment class were shouting and whistling, looking as if they'd seen this outcome coming all along.
Back then, their entire class combined couldn't even beat this guy, let alone just one Wan Feng.
The onlooker students in the training ground also finally understood.
This instructor named An Xiang—on the surface, a spoiled rich kid—was actually incredibly strong!
Damn it! He clearly had the strength to rely on, but instead, he insisted on playing the background card.
"You... bastard..."
Wan Feng's face was filled with fury as he staggered up from the ground.
That kick just now felt like it had shifted all his internal organs.
An Yi couldn't be bothered with him anymore.
Just a mere Peak Spirit Gathering!
Was that supposed to be impressive?
"Instructor!"
Zhang Qi and the others immediately became respectful when they saw An Yi arriving.
For these proud, heaven’s favored children, gentle or strict teaching methods were useless.
The best approach was to be more talented than them and stronger than them. Only then could you truly earn their respect from the bottom of their hearts.
"How is it? Anyone hurt?"
An Yi glanced around at the group and asked.
Houzi scratched his head and sighed, "We're all fine, but Old Black..."
At that, the other students also looked downcast.
An Yi noticed Yan Kui lying in the corner of the training ground.
That guy's face was completely wrecked.
Half of his facial bones were broken, his face was utterly disfigured, and his skull had suffered severe damage.
If he were an ordinary person without spiritual energy, he'd probably be dead by now.
Qiansui's eyes were red, tears streaming down uncontrollably: "It's all because of me that Old Black ended up like this..."
Initially, it was just a personal grudge between her and Wan Feng. Yan Kui had stepped in to help, and that led to Wan Feng beating him up.
Yan Kui had already woken up and, in a barely audible voice, laughed, "Ice Girl, I'm fine. I'm tough. That Redhead's punches were like a mosquito bite."
"Still acting tough—your face is practically pulp."
An Yi patted him on the shoulder and slowly stood up, his gaze turning icy cold.
The special recruitment class students looked at An Yi with eager eyes, clenching their fists.
An Yi's face was expressionless: "Get to it! If anything happens, I'll take the blame!"
"You got it!"
Upon hearing this, the students' eyes turned fierce, and they swarmed Wan Feng.
Wan Feng, who had just gotten up, barely realized what was happening before he saw a crowd of people charging at him with fists raised.
"What are you trying to do?"
"Ah! Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Pitiful screams echoed across the training ground.
The Eastern Mystic Society members watched Wan Feng being beaten, unsure whether to help or not, stuck in a dilemma.
The sunset painted the sky.
Outside the training ground, the special recruitment class students walked out with high spirits. Though their faces were bruised, it didn't affect their soaring morale in the slightest.
"Haha, that felt great! That Wan Feng won't be getting out of bed for at least half a year!"
A student wiped the blood from his nose and said proudly.
Houzi boasted, "And that's not all—I even gave him a crotch shot!"
"Haha, Houzi, you sneaky bastard, that was ruthless!"
"Dammit, I've been pissed off at those Eastern Mystic Society guys for a long time. Acting all high and mighty just because they're five or six years older than us."
"Pah! Give me five or six years, and I'll reach Heavenly Pillar stage."
The special recruitment class students were all arm in arm, laughing and joking.
They were geniuses from all over the Eastern Ling Empire, each incredibly proud of their own talents and strength.
After joining this special class, they'd looked down on each other, constantly at odds.
But this battle had made the previously estranged students much closer.
It brought out an unprecedented sense of unity.
For men, anyone you fight alongside is a brother!
As for pride... no one dared to be proud in front of An Yi.
Five top-grade spirit meridians!
A strength that was unfathomably deep.
If nothing else, the power he'd shown so far was at least Heavenly Pillar mid-stage!
And that was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Even if they were given three years, they could never reach that level of power.
Faced with such a monstrous instructor, what right did they have to be arrogant!
Zhang Qi looked at them and chuckled, "Stop bragging. Go wash up and apply some medicine."
"What about... Old Black...?"
Liu Yu's gaze turned worried as she looked at Yan Kui.
"It's fine. Instructor An Xiang said he'd reshape my face. Once it heals, I might even look more handsome than before," Yan Kui said casually, waving his hand.
His head was wrapped in layers of bandages, making it look several times bigger.
Qiansui said apologetically, "It's my fault. I'll take care of you for the next few days."
"Haha, now that's what I'm talking about! Is this a marriage proposal?"
Yan Kui rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Don't get any ideas. I'll just help you eat at most."
The other students chimed in with teasing and cheers, making Qiansui's pale little face blush red.
Zhang Qi lightly bumped shoulders with Ye Tian, who was carrying a halberd, and said with a smile, "Didn't expect you'd actually step in. That wasn't easy."
Ye Tian shot him a glance.
To him, who had lived two lifetimes, these were all just kids.
So, he tended to act a bit more mature among the students.
"By the way, where's Instructor An Xiang?"
Ye Tian looked around, raising an eyebrow slightly.
The others shook their heads, saying they hadn't seen him.
Qiansui thought for a moment, "Come to think of it, Xu Qianqian is missing too."
The rosy sunset clouds on the horizon faded.
Night was approaching.
In the sacred little grove of the Eastern Mystic Academy.
"Instructor An Xiang, do you have a crush on anyone?"
Xu Qianqian stepped closer to An Yi, her voice sweet and sticky, characteristic of her age.
An Yi said seriously, "Yes, several, actually."
Xu Qianqian didn't mind at all, her eyes flirtatious as she looked at him: "So, would you mind adding one more?"
An Yi frowned.
Had this little girl tricked him into the grove just for this?
That's not okay...
Fifteen years old! Not quite a 9 out of 10! Plus the whole instructor-student thing!
This loli was out! Completely out of the running!
Seeing An Yi a bit stunned, Xu Qianqian thought she had charmed him with her beauty, so she pressed on, taking another step closer, her voice drippingly sweet: "Instructor An Xiang, do you think I'm pretty?"
An Yi shook his head: "Not really."
Xu Qianqian: “…”

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
