The outcome is decided.

The tenth senior brother put away the gold brick and stood on the stage, full of pride.

The person opposite them is a direct disciple of Jin Yangfeng.

There was a time when he could only watch these proud sons of the Holy Capital Academy from below, but now he had actually defeated them with his own hands.

The tenth senior brother looked down at the audience and saw the raccoon being held by the eldest senior brother.

I'm so grateful that I listened to Xitong's advice back then, and that's how I got such a treasure as the gold brick.

Several peak masters also noticed the tenth senior brother's magic weapon.

That's a level 1 magic weapon!

None of the peak masters with the strength of Martial Grandmasters possessed Earth-rank magic treasures, yet a mere disciple held one!

Lei Shizhong's first reaction was to disperse the disciples who were watching, and then suggested that the remaining people return to the main hall. He then couldn't help but make his request, "What kind of magic weapon did you use to defeat Wang Sheng just now? Show it to us."

"This is a gold-plated brick, a treasure that my fellow disciples and I obtained in a secret realm."

The tenth senior brother, still a bit carried away after winning the battle, generously took out his magic weapon to show off, "This is a level-earth magic weapon, used for throwing attacks, and its power is unparalleled. I even used it to kill a demonic beast with the strength of a Martial Grandmaster."

"Not bad, not bad."

The dean nodded with a smile, then looked at Luan Zhenfeng and said, "Your disciples have gained a lot from their trip."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Luan Zhenfeng showed a rare humility as he waved to his disciples, "You can go back first, I still have some things to do here."

He hadn't told Lü Yun the bombshell yet, but he hadn't forgotten the important matter.

After dismissing a group of disciples, Luan Zhenfeng straightened his clothes and cleared his throat. "I'm here today mainly because I have something important to tell everyone."

Just as he was about to announce Yan Qing's news, Lei Shizhong suddenly stood up and said, "Jin Yangfeng has some things to attend to, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, he left without looking back, ignoring the others' attempts to stop him.

Luan Zhenfeng was stunned for a moment as he watched him leave without giving him any face, then turned to the others and said, "Let's ignore him. It's his loss if he doesn't listen."

##

Lei Shizhong's hasty departure was indeed for a reason.

He accelerated on his sword and caught up with his fellow disciples from Qing Shuang Peak.

"stop."

He blocked the path of the Qing Shuang Peak disciples and their group, his gaze sweeping over them before finally settling on the tenth disciple. "You shall come with me."

Apart from this fight with Lei Shizhong's personal disciple, the tenth senior brother has never had any relationship with Lei Shizhong.

Today he suddenly wanted to leave alone with his tenth senior brother, and of course the others wouldn't listen to him.

"Peak Master Jin Yang, may I ask what brings you here?"

The eldest brother stepped forward to ask questions.

"Do I have anything to explain to you?"

Lei Shizhong said coldly.

They're just a bunch of disciples. Even if they went to Dingtian Academy and had many fortuitous encounters, in his eyes they're nothing more than a group of martial arts cultivators who haven't even grown up yet. "Do you dare disobey me?"

What's there to be afraid of?

"Reporting to the Peak Master, we at Qing Shuang Peak have always respected our teachers and elders. However, in our actions, we only obey the words of our Master and the Dean."

He's the peak master of Jin Yang Peak, why should the disciples of Qing Shuang Peak listen to him?

The second senior brother retorted neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I think you're tired of living, daring to be so disrespectful to the Peak Master!" Lei Shizhong glared sternly at his second senior brother, as if he wanted to kill him.

Seeing this, the eleventh brother stood in front of him, and a group of people looked at Lei Shizhong with a look of serious concern.

Although Lei Shizhong looked fierce and menacing, he deliberately ran out when no one else was around, not wanting to make a big fuss at all.

"Alright, why are you so nervous? I've only come to borrow those gold bricks from you to take a look."

He extended his hand and said, "I have already informed your peak master, Luan Zhenfeng, that it will be returned in a few days."

borrow?

This word instantly put the tenth senior brother, who had been quite excited, on alert.

One cannot simply give away one's own personal magical artifact to others.

Not to mention that Xi Tong often reminded them that what belongs to you is yours only when it's in your own hands; if it's in someone else's hands, it might not become theirs. The alchemy furnace on Xianlong Peak is a perfect example. Even Qu Haifeng, the dignified dean of Dingtian Academy, couldn't get his alchemy furnace back after lending it out, let alone someone as insignificant as him.

"This...this..."

The tenth senior brother looked at the eldest senior brother, unsure how to refuse.

"What's wrong?"

Lei Shizhong's face darkened when he saw that he wouldn't give in.

The eldest brother stepped forward righteously, "Reporting to the peak master, the tenth junior brother has a close connection with his magic weapon and cannot be lent to others at will."

"What close connection? You're not trying to fool me."

Lei Shizhong snorted coldly, "Your master has already promised me, do you think I'm afraid I'll take the magic weapon and not return it?"

Of course I'm scared!

The tenth senior brother carefully took the talisman containing the gold-plated bricks.

The bond between master and disciple can be severed, but I won't give him the magic weapon!

The atmosphere became heavy.

Lei Shizhong had brought Lü Yunluan Zhenfeng and the others on his back, naturally intending to obtain a low-grade magic weapon. Seeing their stubbornness, he coldly snorted, "Give it to me!"

Now that he's in this state, it's even more unacceptable to take it.

Just then, Lei Shizhong suddenly unleashed his spiritual power and attacked the crowd. This caused the unsuspecting crowd to scatter in panic, and he grabbed the tenth senior brother.

The tenth senior brother was only at the Martial Spirit level; how could he be a match for him?

"Where's the stuff? Give it to me!"

Everyone finally realized that the Peak Master of Jinyang Peak was determined to obtain the gold-rubbing brick from his tenth senior brother.

If you can't trick them, just rob them.

"Peak Master Jin Yang, aren't you afraid that we'll inform our master and ask him and the Dean to uphold justice by forcibly taking this from us?"

Seeing this, the second senior brother disregarded the need to maintain appearances and shouted at Lei Shizhong.

"Heh, you're welcome to give it a try."

Would Lei Shizhong not have considered this?

It was precisely because of their consideration that I came alone and acted first and informed them later.

The treasures of the Aotian Continent are meant for those with the ability. Now that he's already got the treasure, does Luan Zhenfeng really think he can get it back for his disciple?

As long as he insists that there is no truth to it, should the dean believe a group of ordinary inner disciples or him, the master of this peak?

Or they might kill someone to steal their treasure, but the dead can't file a complaint.

Thinking of this, his expression turned fierce.

The senior brothers sensed the subtle killing intent and became secretly on guard. The second senior brother, being the most eloquent among the twenty senior brothers, stepped forward and went straight to the heart of the matter.

"Peak Master Jin Yang, I assure you, let alone stealing Junior Brother Ten's gold-polishing brick, if you harm even a single hair on the head of one of our Qing Shuang Peak disciples, we will make sure you regret it!"

Wow!

What a boastful tone.

Lei Shizhong felt like he'd heard a huge joke. "You guys?"

They've gotten some benefits outside and now they're arrogant and don't know their place.

"Yes, just us."

The second senior brother said confidently, "It's all because we have a junior brother who's miles ahead of you and is the dean of Dingtian Academy."
