Chapter 2223: Leverage (Third Update)

The Grandmaster struck with fury, the force was terrifying, cracking giant stones was a mere trifle.

If it were an ordinary person.

Faced with such a slap, they would definitely be smashed to pieces!

Even.

Even a Martial Arts Master would likely be killed by such a strike!

At this moment, Zheng Jie was enraged!

Getting his face hit on the spot, his old face simply couldn’t hold back!

He directly attacked Lin Tian!

Bang~

But before his palm could reach Lin Tian, a terrifying force sent him flying first.

Zheng Jie flew through the air, over the railing of the second floor, plummeting downward.

With a loud bang, Zheng Jie’s body slammed hard onto the middle of the Martial Soul Garden’s arena.

With a spat, Zheng Jie coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He was severely injured but not in mortal danger!

After all, as a Martial Arts Grandmaster, his resilience was quite formidable!

Who dared to attack Zheng Jie!

Many turned to look in shock.

The group of Gale Martial Arts Academy students accompanying Zheng Jie were already furious.

But upon seeing the assailant clearly, they hurriedly retreated in fear.

“It… it’s Lady Wang!”

Within Martial Soul Garden, many were startled.

They realized the person who acted was Wang Yiyi!

At this moment, Wang Yiyi stood beside Lin Tian, causing many to glance at each other in suspicion.

Meanwhile, some sensed trouble and quickly quieted down.

Zhuang Youxian himself was also bewildered.

Wang Yiyi attacked, what did it mean?

He looked at Wang Yiyi, who seemed like an immortal stepping out of an ancient painting, his heart both blazing hot and full of doubt.

“Lady Wang, you are…”

Zhuang Youxian frowned, speaking in confusion.

Hong Shenhao, standing behind him, upon seeing Wang Yiyi strike, let out a long sigh of relief.

Only he understood that the young man before them was actually a Golden Core Ancestor!

Better to offend Wang Yiyi than to provoke such a figure!

At least, if they offended Wang Yiyi, relying on Nine Immortals Mountain, they still had room to maneuver.

But if you angered a Golden Core Ancestor of unknown origin, and were killed on the spot, that dead would be in vain!

By then… how would Nine Immortals Mountain intervene?

Even if they could intervene, what could they do?

Mobilizing the full sect against one Golden Core Ancestor would naturally not be an issue!

But there was absolutely no way to take them down!

If they infuriated them and became mortal enemies, the ones to suffer might just be Nine Immortals Mountain!

Facing the wrath of a Golden Core Ancestor, the sect might pay a very heavy price!

This was something Hong Shenhao absolutely did not want to see!

Previously, offending Lin Tian, surviving, he already felt like he had narrowly escaped death!

Now encountering him again, his heart was all over the place!

With Wang Yiyi present, he felt like a savior had appeared!

As thoughts raced through his mind, Hong Shenhao swallowed hard, still not daring to speak.

And Wang Yiyi looked coldly at Zhuang Youxian, saying, “What exactly happened just now?”

Seeing Wang Yiyi ignore his words, Zhuang Youxian dared not press, quickly saying, “This brat spoke rudely…”

Immediately.

He roughly recounted what happened a moment ago.

Around them, many also began to speak one after the other.

Though.

Many put a bit of a spin on it, especially Zhuang Youxian.

Lee Suxi hurriedly stepped forward, recounting the earlier events once more.

At least to prevent Wang Yiyi from hearing one-sided accounts.

“Sister Wang, it was my fault earlier! This… junior brother doesn’t truly understand you, so he spoke some nonsense. I was reprimanding him!”

Yao Bingyuan also stepped forward, nervously bowing to Wang Yiyi.

With that.

Wang Yiyi understood what had happened.

Turns out.

It all started because of her.

Though.

Regarding Lin Tian’s evaluation of her talent as average, she was left speechless.

Now she understood, Lin Tian simply did not know what kind of existence she was.

Perhaps, he only saw her as a Martial Artist!

How laughable!

Wang Yiyi silently shook her head and smiled.

At the same time, she was filled with many questions, like how Lin Tian came to Martial Soul Garden, how he became a Rose Martial Arts Hall student.

But she did not immediately ask these questions, instead looking at Zhuang Youxian.

“Perhaps… he spoke without intention! His name is Lin Tian, my middle school classmate!”

Wang Yiyi had no affection for Zhuang Youxian, coldly said: “Any more questions?”

Hiss~

My God!

This… this is incredible!

Middle school classmates!

He’s a classmate of Wang Yiyi!

Wang Yiyi’s words suddenly stunned countless people, who all stared wide-eyed.

The entire Martial Soul Garden fell silent in an instant.

But soon, many reacted, quickly retreating from Zhuang Youxian’s side.

This brat in front of them was Wang Yiyi’s classmate; many who spoke for Zhuang Youxian earlier would be courting death if Wang Yiyi got angry!

Especially the people from Gale Martial Arts Academy, who were terrified.

Below, the injured Zheng Jie stared wide, his eyeballs nearly falling out.

“Lady… Lady Wang… I really don’t understand this…”

Zheng Jie was terrified, his teeth chattering, voice trembling, incoherent.

“Don’t understand? And you dare to strike! Little Martial Arts Grandmaster, quite imposing, huh?”

Wang Yiyi’s beautiful eyes filled with coldness, looking at Zheng Jie below, speaking coldly.

Although now regarding Lin Tian, Wang Yiyi was thoroughly disappointed from the bottom of her heart.

Initially finding Lin Tian, upon seeing Lin Tian, she wanted to use her present power, her present achievements to crush this youth, to let him realize the regret of rejecting her confession in the past!

But upon seeing Lin Tian’s minor success and arrogance, upon seeing Lin Tian’s ignorance of her level, she suddenly felt empty!

All that remained was deep disappointment and monotony!

But the old feelings for Lin Tian couldn’t be erased!

At least in Wang Yiyi’s mind, she could scold Lin Tian, severely humiliate him, but… from her unwavering obsession, she couldn’t allow others to touch Lin Tian!

She could slap Lin Tian dead, but others were not allowed to touch even a hair of him!

“Lady Wang… I was wrong…”

Zheng Jie looked frightened, shakingly apologized.

“Asking your Gale Martial Arts Academy to come was truly a mistake!”

Wang Yiyi shook her head, coldly said: “Take your people and get out of Martial Soul Garden! Don’t wait for me to act again!”

“Thank you… Lady Wang for sparing me!”

Zheng Jie no longer hoped to remain; hearing Wang Yiyi not acting further was a relief, he repeatedly thanked, then left hastily.

But before leaving, he looked back at Lin Tian, seemingly etched him deeply in memory.

“Classmate!”

Opposite Zhuang Youxian was also dumbfounded; he never expected the youth before him was Wang Yiyi’s classmate, utterly unexpected.

Only now did he understand why Lin Tian was so arrogant, turns out he had Wang Yiyi as backing!

“Old classmates! Any more questions?”

Wang Yiyi coldly looked at Zhuang Youxian, asked again.

No one feared Zhuang Youxian, but she certainly did not!

“Lady Wang, apologies!”

Zhuang Youxian took a deep breath, apologized, quickly retreated.

Having been slapped, he could only swallow it temporarily.

“Xiao Xian, today Lady Wang is teaching, no need to persist here; find another opportunity later!”

Returning to his seat, Hong Shenhao said to Zhuang Youxian: “Your cousin specifically advised me multiple times, if you can avoid provoking those you shouldn’t, take a step back!”

“I understand!”

Wang Yiyi was not worth provoking, Zhuang Youxian knew clearly, he nodded with a somber face.

As Zhuang Youxian walked away, Wang Yiyi turned back.

She frowned, coldly said to Lin Tian: “Earlier when I gave you my contact info, did you think I could be your backer, and then act recklessly?”
