The commotion in front of Qin Xin's courtyard attracted the attention of the students living nearby, who all gathered around.
"This is going to be good!"
"It seems Ruan Yang and his group have run into a tough opponent today."
“Every year, new students have their points taken away by older students when they enroll; this has become a tacitly accepted rule.”
Qin Xin leaned against the courtyard gate and heard the surrounding discussions. He knew that the three people in front of him were repeat offenders, and it seemed that quite a few freshmen had lost points to them.
"Kid, you're a bit ungrateful. In the Eastern Wilderness Academy, if you're a dragon, you'd better coil up; if you're a tiger, you'd better lie down!"
Seeing Qin Xin's disdainful actions, Ruan Yang, who was leading the group, felt somewhat dissatisfied. He actually stepped forward and attacked Qin Xin, intending to capture him and seize the identity token from his waist.
"Don't mess with me, or you'll be in big trouble."
Seeing Ruan Yang approaching him, Qin Xin slowly raised his head, revealing a somewhat handsome face, but his dark eyes revealed a resolute determination.
"You want to wrap things up, huh? Once we get rid of this troublemaker, things will naturally fall into place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Yang strode forward, his true energy causing his robes to flutter, an aura that drew gasps of surprise from the surrounding students.
"Ruan Yang, as a veteran student, is now in Class 13 and his strength has reached the eighth level of the Innate Realm. It seems that this troublemaker among the new students is going to have a hard time."
Hearing the surrounding people's discussions about the person in front of him, Qin Xin smiled slightly. With the trump cards in his hand, subduing a martial artist at the eighth level of the Innate Realm was a piece of cake.
"Let's see if your tough talk is up to you!"
"Dragon-Capturing Claw!"
With a mocking laugh, Ruan Yang's hands suddenly transformed into claws, reaching directly for Qin Xin's chest.
What seemed like an ordinary strike actually revealed a faint purple light. In Qin Xin's eyes, this claw was incredibly powerful, and if it hit him, he would probably lose his fighting ability immediately.
Faced with his opponent's attack, Qin Xin dared not be careless.
"Crimson Flame Blade!"
Qin Xin gave a light shout, and a fiery blade shot out from his palm.
"break!"
With a soft shout, Ruan Yang's smug face appeared behind the fire blade. Qin Xin's fire blade had been caught by him and instantly extinguished.
"This Dragon-Capturing Claw is a Xuan-rank martial art. Junior, you're still being stubborn with this much strength!"
Without any hesitation, Ruan Yang reached directly for Qin Xin's collarbone.
"So verbose!"
Qin Xin gave a light rebuke, his true energy trembled, and the martial spirit of the black staff in his hand condensed, a pale yellow fire blade slashing straight forward.
"Pong!"
With a single blow, Ruan Yang was sent flying backward. The aftershocks from the intense collision of true energy caused the onlookers to quickly retreat, fearing they would be caught in the blast.
You! Bastard!
Ruan Yang, who was defeated by Qin Xin in one blow, felt extremely aggrieved. Because of his underestimation of his opponent, he was defeated by a new student in one move. Although he was not injured, he felt his face burning with embarrassment as he looked at the gazes of the surrounding students.
"Hmph! If you want points, then come at me all at once!"
Qin Xin thrust a black staff straight into the ground, raising dust and causing the surrounding students to pause slightly.
"Did I hear that right?!"
"This kid must be crazy!"
"They're actually challenging three veteran students!"
"Ruan Yang, Jing Hong, and Luo Guang are all from Class 13. Jing Hong and Luo Guang are both at the seventh level of the Innate Realm!"
A murmur arose around them. They could clearly sense that Qin Xin's true energy fluctuations were only at the third level of the Innate Realm, yet he dared to challenge three veteran students. They admired his courage, and they seemed to have already guessed the outcome.
Qin Xin knew that his cultivation level was low and his true energy recovery and sustainability were poor. If he were to exchange blows, he would probably be at a disadvantage after a few moves. As for the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern, it was his trump card and he would not use it easily. Therefore, he wanted to use a low-level martial art to defeat several people in one move, so as to establish his authority and prevent some petty people from coming to his door.
“Every year there are a few troublemakers, and they all end up the same way, but this is the first time I’ve seen such an arrogant troublemaker.”
"Ruan Yang, Luo Guang, since he's spoken up, let's teach him a lesson about what it means to respect your seniors!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Hong and Luo Guang, who were standing to the side, walked over and, as they rubbed their hands together, martial spirits condensed in their hands.
Listening to the surrounding discussions, the man holding a red-tasseled spear was Jing Hong. He had a fierce look and a scar on his arm. As for Luo Guang, he held a large knife with a cold and sharp blade.
"Alright, this brat needs to suffer a bit!"
Ruan Yang's face was burning hot. He immediately took the long sword from his waist. With the infusion of true energy, the long sword seemed to be surrounded by flowing water, flexible yet full of killing intent.
Qin Xin examined the longsword in Ruan Yang's hand. It was a third-grade spiritual weapon. Although martial artists with a weapon spirit could directly condense their true qi into a spirit to use as a weapon, their true qi was easily dissipated under powerful attacks. Spiritual weapons, on the other hand, could inherit the characteristics of a martial artist's spirit and reduce the consumption of true qi in battle. Some high-grade spiritual weapons even possessed their own consciousness and could better assist their masters in battle.
Seeing that all three of them had revealed their martial spirits, Qin Xin did not dare to be careless. He poured all his true energy into the black staff martial spirit, and as he swung the black staff, pale yellow flames rose up.
"Let's go!"
Ruan Yang gave a soft shout, preparing to take down Qin Xin in one strike and then thoroughly humiliate him.
Students are strictly prohibited from killing each other within the Eastern Wilderness Academy. If it is a life-or-death battle, they can apply to the academy to enter the academy's arena. Therefore, although Ruan Yang's attacks seem fierce, he deliberately avoids vital points.
"Wildfire Hundred Slashes!"
Seeing the three approaching, Qin Xin did not retreat. He suddenly slashed forward with his black staff, and the scorching fire blades instantly slashed down from the sky. Ruan Yang and the other two hurriedly used their martial spirits to defend themselves.
"burst!"
Although Qin Xin's internal energy was severely depleted, a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
The fire blade released waves of scorching true energy outwards.
"boom!"
A sudden, muffled thud rang out, and the surrounding students stared blankly, as if they had all witnessed an unbelievable scene.
Because they had all witnessed firsthand how a new student at the third level of the Innate Realm had directly injured three veteran students.
At this moment, blood trickled from the corners of Ruan Yang's mouth, and his eyes were full of surprise. None of them could believe that they had been injured by a new student.
"Want to try again?"
With a slight tremor of his martial spirit, the black staff in Qin Xin's hand suddenly unleashed a torrent of scorching true energy that surged outwards.
Qin Xin is merely putting on an act. The Earth-rank martial art he is using at full power has already drained his internal energy. If the three of them rush up again, he will likely suffer some hardship.
However, Qin Xin sensed a powerful fluctuation of true energy emanating from the surrounding crowd.
