Upon hearing this...

Lei Shizhong's first thought was that they were suffering from delusions.

Although he had never been to Dingtian Academy, he had heard about it from Lü Yun and Luan Zhenfeng. The Dean of Dingtian Academy was at least a Martial Emperor, a top expert on the Aotian Continent.

For hundreds of years, there have always been four fixed companies, and the strength behind them is deeply intertwined.

Their junior brother is the dean of Dingtian Academy?

It would be more believable to say that Luan Zhenfeng would become the dean of Dingtian Academy.

They're just trying to buy time, waiting for someone to come and rescue them.

Lei Shizhong was extremely certain of their intentions. He reached out and tightly gripped his tenth senior brother's neck, "Hand over the gold-plated brick! You have no ability to protect your magic treasures, yet you flaunt them in the streets. You brought this upon yourselves!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, two dazzling golden lights hurtled towards him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the tenth senior brother broke free from his restraints and escaped, rejoining his fellow disciples.

The tenth senior brother looked at the eldest senior brother... who was holding a raccoon, and sincerely said thank you.

"You're welcome."

The raccoon and his tenth senior brother were being friendly and respectful, while the second senior brother was now directly criticizing Lei Shizhong, who had already broken off all pretense of civility.

"Lei Shizhong, it is a disgrace to the Holy Capital Academy to have a peak master like you!"

Saying we don't have the means to flaunt our treasures? So you're the one with the means, huh?

You're over two hundred years old and you're still only a Martial Grandmaster. What kind of strength do you have?

"Don't even mention my junior brother Yan, all of us together could kill you!"

That's definitely enough to draw a lot of hatred.

Enraged, Lei Shizhong swung his longsword and slashed at his second senior brother.

The eleventh senior brother flashed to the front and blocked Lei Shizhong's attack.

"No wonder you're so arrogant, it turns out there's a cultivator with the strength of a Martial Grandmaster among you."

He looked at the eleventh brother with a cold gaze, gathered spiritual energy in his hand, and swung his sword at him again. The eleventh senior brother had only just broken through to the Martial Grandmaster level, while Lei Shizhong already possessed the strength of the late-stage Martial Grandmaster. In their first exchange, the eleventh brother was no match and was forced back several meters by Lei Shizhong's sword energy.

Young and impetuous, with an inflated sense of self-importance.

They thought that having achieved some success in cultivation, they could act lawlessly.

Lei Shizhong drew his sword and stepped forward, determined to show them the true power of martial arts practitioners.

"Eleventh Senior Brother, step aside, I'll take this!"

Old Nineteen, carrying a chicken, charged to the front. He picked up Tie Danhua and faced Lei Shizhong, shouting, "I'll spray him to death!"

The iron egg flower chirped and chirped, looking incredibly brave.

A great war is about to break out...

Immediately afterwards, a furious shout came from the horizon.

"stop!"

Lu Yun's voice rang out, accompanied by the oppressive aura of a Martial King: "What are you doing within the territory of the Holy Capital Academy?"

Lei Shizhong spoke first, immediately turning the tables and saying, "Dean, I'm disciplining these disrespectful disciples!"

"Dean, it was Peak Master Jin Yang who coveted the treasure. He first lied and claimed to have been granted permission by his master to borrow my tenth junior brother's magic weapon. After we saw through his lie, he even tried to use us to kill someone."

The second senior brother, not to be outdone, retorted directly. "I'll give you ten! I'll give you ten!"

Upon hearing this, the four men's expressions changed.

Given his personality, it's highly likely that Lei Shizhong deliberately left before them.

Luan Zhenfeng was furious. Taking advantage of everyone else's absence, they had tried to seize the treasure from his disciple. "Lei Shizhong, what do you mean by this?"

"You believe everything he says?"

Lei Shizhong naturally wouldn't admit it, "What treasures don't I have? Why would I steal a few disciples' magic weapons?"

How many treasures could he possibly have? Just now, when he saw his disciple take out a low-grade magic weapon, his eyes widened in amazement. It would be truly strange if he didn't care.

But now, apart from his disciples, there is no one else, so there is no evidence.

He was, after all, the leader of a peak, and without evidence, no one could touch him.

Luan Zhenfeng looked at Lei Shizhong with a cold face and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Peak Master Jinyang has many treasures, so naturally he wouldn't be interested in this mere Earth-rank magic weapon."

The other two peak masters lowered their heads after hearing this—trying not to laugh.

Lu Yun looked slightly angry, but was trying hard to suppress her anger.

"My affairs are none of your business."

Lei Shizhong was still arrogantly stubborn, saying, "Just mind your own business and deal with your group of disrespectful and delusional disciples."

"Peak Master Jin Yang."

Lu Yun silently called out to him as a warning.

"I actually think my disciples are quite good."

When it comes to his disciples, Luan Zhenfeng couldn't help but show off a bit. Luckily, he had left early, so he could remind him again, "Do you still remember Yan Qing, the little disciple I took in before? This kid quietly reached the Martial Emperor level and even became the Dean of Dingtian Academy."

Haha, a man destined for great things!

Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.

In the short span of two incense sticks' time, the names Yan Qing, Martial Emperor, and Dean of Dingtian Academy were practically glued to Luan Zhenfeng's lips. They had echoed these words countless times, their faces practically frozen from smiling.

However, they could understand the feelings of a beggar like Luan Zhenfeng who suddenly became emperor.

If their own disciples could achieve such great accomplishments, they would be no less than Luan Zhenfeng.

At this moment, some people were laughing, while others had ashen faces.

Just now, the disciples from Qing Shuang Peak said that Yan Qing had become the dean of Ding Tian Academy, but Lei Shizhong didn't believe it. But now that Luan Zhenfeng has said it, it's completely a done deal.

Who would have thought that something that seemed completely fabricated was actually true?

No wonder the disciples of Qing Shuang Peak have all made such great progress after three years.

No wonder a mere disciple at the Martial Spirit Realm could possess a weapon like an Earth-Rank magic treasure.

The disciples of Qing Shuang Peak looked at his somewhat pale face with a hint of pride and smugness.

Now you believe it, right?

Are you scared now?

"Dean, I, Jin Yangfeng, have some matters to attend to, so I'll head back now."

Lei Shizhong casually cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Lü Yun, then ascended into the air on his sword, heading towards Jin Yang Peak. The other two peak masters and the dean naturally returned to their respective destinations.

The matter of the peak master robbing his disciple was thus left unresolved.

The Qing Shuang Peak disciples, who remained where they were, looked at Luan Zhenfeng and said, "Master, it really is Lei Shizhong who tried to steal our tenth brother's magic weapon, and he even had murderous intent towards us."

The eldest brother said earnestly to Luan Zhenfeng, "Look at how he left in such a sorry state; he was clearly in the wrong!"

Luan Zhenfeng watched Lü Yun's departing figure and patted his tenth senior brother on the back reassuringly, "Let it go."

His senior brother always preferred to downplay major issues and resolve minor ones. Asking him for an explanation now would only be putting him in a difficult position.

My senior brother... he's actually not very suitable to be the dean.

Luan Zhenfeng shook his head, banishing the thought of disrespecting his senior brother, and looked at his disciples, reminding them: "Lei Shizhong is not only greedy, but also narrow-minded and vindictive. In the future, you must travel in groups when you move around the peak, or you will be afraid of his revenge."
