Chapter 6 The Eldest Disciple

  Zhang Shan arrived at the martial arts arena in the backyard and decisively defeated Bai Shaohai with a swift kick, greatly boosting his confidence.

  However, Bai Shaohai's older brother, Bai Shaoyang, was indeed a formidable character. Zhang Shan thought to himself that he was definitely not his match at present, so speeding up his cultivation was the most urgent matter for now.

  In the following days, Zhang Shan devoted himself to practicing, and the Sen Luo Wan Xiang Jue indeed lived up to its reputation as a divine-level technique. Half a month later, he broke through again to the seventh level of Qi Wu Jing.

  Just after finishing his practice, Gao Peng and Lei Meng found him in the backyard under the leadership of Zhang Cheng, the housekeeper.

  "A Shan, something's wrong, Bai Shaoyang is back."

  Gao Peng said as soon as he saw him.

  "This morning he came to the school and asked about you, I think he's looking for trouble with you."

  Lei Meng continued to say in a low voice.

  Zhang Shan calmly asked: "Has he advanced to the Spiritual Martial Realm?"

  "He seems much more formidable than before, I reckon he's really leveled up. Ashan, why don't you take a long leave from the academy and lay low for a while?"

  Gao Peng thought for a moment and then proposed with some concern.

  "Escaping is not an option. Bai Shaohai and I are in a life-and-death duel, and I've even shown mercy. Even if Bai Shaoyang is the head of the academy, he can't use this matter to attack me."

  Zhang Shan shook his head and thought for a moment before saying.

  After noon, Zhang Shan and his two companions arrived at the Wen Tian Academy.

  When they saw them, many students started winking and making faces.

  Zhang Shan walked calmly into the inner courtyard, only to feel a sharp gaze fall upon himself.

  As he looked up, a slender young man with a face as white as jade and narrow eyes was standing among a group of students looking at him, it was Bai Shaoyang, the top disciple of the academy.

  "As expected, this aura should be the promotion to Lingwu Realm."

  Zhang Shan thought for a moment and then came to a conclusion.

  "Zhang's surname, you have a big dog's gall, dare to lay poisonous hands on my second brother."

  At this time, Bai Shaoyang let out a loud roar and walked towards him with a cold smile on his face.

  "Master Bai probably made a mistake. If it wasn't for your brother's aggressive behavior, trying to drive me to death, then this wouldn't have happened."

  Zhang Shan's demeanor was calm and composed, neither arrogant nor humble.

  Bai Shaoyang said sternly: "Nonsense! At that time, you had already gained the upper hand and could have stopped, but instead you went ahead and crippled his Qi Hai."

  Zhang Shan calmly said: "Is that so? Then before this, how can I say that I almost died at his hands?"

  Bai Shaoyang hummed in a low and gloomy tone: "But you didn't die in the end, did you?"

  Zhang Shan's mouth twitched: "According to Bai Shixiong's meaning, you can take my brother's life, but I can only nod in agreement?"

  "Not bad, can a person from your kind of trashy family compare with my second brother's status?"

  Bai Shaoyang stared at him coldly and snorted disdainfully.

  "It seems I was wrong, I shouldn't have spared your second brother's dog life."

  A flash of anger flickered in Zhang Shan's eyes.

  "Are you looking for trouble?"

  Bai Shaoyang shouted angrily and flashed forward, throwing a punch with strong momentum at Zhang Shan.

  Zhang Shan had long been prepared for his attack. At this moment, seeing his fist coming, he also raised his fist to meet him.

  "Boom!"

  The two exchanged blows, and Zhang Shan retreated three steps in a row, his arm numb.

  "So strong, is this the power of the Spiritual Martial Realm?"

  Zhang Shan took another step back, his true energy circulating throughout his body, his eyes fixed intently on Bai Shaoyang.

  "Qiwu boundary sevenfold? Nine thousand jin of force? It seems like he hasn't used his full strength yet..."

  Bai Shaoyang's eyes flashed, his aura suddenly surged, and his body swayed, already standing in front of Zhang Shan. His palm emitted a faint glow, carrying the momentum of wind and thunder as he slashed forward.

  Zhang Shan let out a loud shout and raised his hands with all his might to meet the attack head-on.

  Another dull thud, Zhang Shan was shocked by the tremendous force and flew backward, his arms transmitted intense pain, and a surge of blood gas churned in his chest.

  "The cultivation of the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining Realm can actually withstand my Ninth Succession Fist, his strength surpasses that of a martial artist of the same level. Hmph, if he advances to the Spiritual Martial Realm, he will become a great enemy."

  Bai Shaoyang's eyes narrowed, and a thought flashed through his mind. His killing intent grew stronger.

  He stretched out his hand and the sword on his back fell into it.

  "Mengzi, it's likely that someone with the surname Bai is planning to make a move."

  Gao Peng, who was standing by and watching the battle, turned pale with fright and shouted at Lei Meng.

  "How dare he disregard the rules of the school?" Lei Meng said in a deep voice.

  "With his status as the top disciple of the Academy and the backing of the White family, he would at most receive some punishment."

  Gao Peng clenched his fists and his breathing quickened.

  "Damn it, let's go together and fight him."

  Lei Meng took out a pair of golden silk boxing gloves and put them on, let out a loud roar, then charged towards Bai Shaoyang.

  Gao Peng gritted his teeth and pulled out a soft sword from his waist, following him as they charged forward together.

  But this little guy rushed forward and let out a loud roar with all his might.

  "Someone come and save us! Bai Shaoyang is going to kill people in the school!"

  Bai Shaoyang's anger was uncontrollable: "Since you two useless things want to accompany him in death, I'll take care of you first."

  With a wave of his hand, countless sword lights burst forth from his hands and shot straight at Gao Lei and the other.

  Zhang Shan was shocked. Gao Peng and Lei Meng's strength was only at the fifth level of Qi Wu, the same as his before he awakened his Martial Soul. Bai Shaoyang could heavily injure them with just one encounter.

  With a loud roar, the Stone Tablet Warrior Soul suddenly appeared behind him. He launched himself forward with both feet, shooting towards Bai Shaoyang like a meteor. In the midst of his wildly violent fist winds, a faint tiger's howl echoed out.

  If Bai Shaoyang dares not to change his move, Zhang Shan is absolutely confident that he will be injured.

  "It really is an epiphany like a sudden enlightenment."

  Bai Shaoyang's eyes flashed, not daring to slack off. He took a step back and let go of Gao Peng and Lei Meng. The sword lights in the sky changed direction and collided with Zhang Shan's fist.

  A loud clang.

  Zhang Shan was knocked back a zhang by the power of the sword transmission, but Bai Shaoyang's body bent and he also retreated three or four steps.

  "Has your martial soul been summoned? Is this your trump card? Unfortunately, it's only at the Qi Refining stage."

  He stood still and looked at Zhang Shan with a cold gaze.

  He observed the illusory shadow of Shi Bei's Wu Soul and sneered disdainfully.

  "The short-lived ghost's awakened martial soul is quite bizarre, a tombstone? It really has a fate with death."

  As he spoke, a sword shadow appeared behind him, and the air within three feet around him seemed to solidify, filled with an extremely sharp and piercing sword aura.

  Gao Peng and Lei Meng were forced back by this sword energy, retreating seven or eight steps in a row before they could stop after exiting the range of the sword energy.

  Zhang Shan felt the other's powerfulness and secretly felt a chill in his heart.

  "This is the pressure of the Lingwu realm? Now I'm absolutely no match for him."

  Thinking of this, his mind suddenly turned around and he let out a loud roar.

  "Your surname is Bai, aren't you afraid of being punished for violating school rules?"

  "Punishment? Others might get expelled, but I'm the chief of the Academy. At most, I'll just be confined for half a year. What's the big deal?"

  Bai Shaoyang smiled gloomily.

  "It's fine at other times, but this year is the sect's trial period. If you're closed for half a year, you won't be able to participate in the sect's trial. But if you wait another three years, you'll be overage and can forget about entering the Wentiangong for life."

  Zhang Shan's eyes flashed as he resisted his imposing aura and said.

  Bai Shaoyang was shocked, three months later, it would be the day of the Tian Xiang Sect's 800 Academy Grand Trial, where disciples would be selected from various academies.

  If selected, you can join the sect and become a true disciple of the Xuantian Sect.

  The big test that takes place every three years has an age limit, which is no more than 20 years old. He is 18 this year and if he misses the test this year, he will be overage in three years.

  Thinking of this, Bai Shaoyang suppressed his killing intent and stared at Zhang Shan with a cold smile, slowly sheathing his sword.

  "Let you live three more months."
