The battle was one-sided.
Under Song Weixi's assault, Ge Ming had no power to resist, coughing up blood and screaming in pain.
Meanwhile, Lin Mengmeng and the other two were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, decimating the dozen or so people from Yifan Academy.
They were beaten to the ground, lying in disarray.
The worst off was the Venerable Demon Emperor. Initially, it hadn't taken Ya Zi seriously, but upon sensing Ya Zi's dragon aura, it was terrified and flew upwards, attempting to escape.
However, it was easily pounced upon by Ya Zi, who snapped both its wings on the spot.
The group from Yifan Academy, who had been so proud not long ago, were all defeated in a short period.
Ge Ming suffered the most. His previously hunched back was straightened, and countless bones were shattered. He lay on the ground like a puddle of mud.
His face was filled with terror as he looked at the miserable state of his side, unable to comprehend the reality before him.
Was this still Langya Academy, ranked last?
Why were they so fierce? This was unreasonable!
"See, you can't even defeat Langya, which is ranked last, so what face do you have to participate in the Hegemony Competition?"
Ji Mo walked up to Ge Ming and looked down at him. "We are helping you, preventing you from embarrassing yourselves in the Hegemony Competition. We are doing this out of kindness."
Ge Ming was so angry he spat blood. He had said something similar just moments ago, and now Ji Mo had returned it so quickly.
The slap in the face came swiftly!
"I believe you are also a grateful person. Since we've helped you so much, how about you give us this bird to eat?"
Ji Mo revealed his true intentions.
The Demon Emperor was so scared that it fainted on the spot.
The teachers and students of Yifan Academy trembled. Eating a Demon Emperor? These people from Langya Academy were too ferocious.
"Alright..."
Ge Ming dared not refuse. He was like meat on a chopping block. If he refused, he didn't know what fate awaited him.
At the same time, he was shocked. What had happened? Song Weixi's strength had surged, but when did Langya Academy produce such powerful students?
Soon, the Demon Emperor was slaughtered, cleaned, and roasted over a fire.
The group from Yifan Academy watched with their scalps tingling. The opponents' actions were swift and decisive, flowing like water. It was clear they were experienced, definitely doing this often.
They glared at Ge Ming, clearly blaming him for being too talkative and provoking these ruthless individuals for no reason.
A mouth-watering aroma soon filled the air.
Ji Mo and the others, like starving ghosts, surrounded the roasted Demon Emperor and devoured it.
Simultaneously, the benefits quickly manifested.
Song Weixi, who was at the late stage of the Spirit Emperor realm, just a step away from the peak, finally broke through and advanced to the peak Spirit Emperor.
Ya Zi ate the most, swallowing even the bones. Its cultivation also recovered to the late Emperor realm.
The Treasure Snake's body became crystal clear. It shed a layer of old skin on the spot, its body becoming like jade, appearing extraordinary.
Lin Mengmeng, Xuan Yang, Wang Wenjian, and others all experienced improvements to varying degrees.
The people from Yifan Academy who witnessed this scene were deeply shaken and dumbfounded. They had never imagined that improving cultivation could be so simple.
They had eaten monster meat before. Besides nourishing blood and strengthening the body, it couldn't directly increase cultivation.
Why did the monster meat roasted by Langya Academy have such magical effects?
After eating their fill, Ji Mo's group did not pay attention to Yifan Academy and continued on their journey.
Only then did the group from Yifan Academy dare to breathe a sigh of relief and quickly take out medicinal pills to heal their injuries.
They were devastated. Their injuries would likely take two to three months to heal, and they clearly couldn't participate in the Academy Ranking Hegemony Competition.
Even if they notified the academy to send another team, there wouldn't be enough time.
As a result, Yifan Academy would be forced to miss this Hegemony Competition, and undoubtedly, the last-place ranking would be taken by them.
Yifan Academy had always looked down on academies at the bottom. Now, as fate would have it, retribution had arrived.
"Langya Academy, this is not over. I will take revenge and make you pay a heavy price."
Ge Ming roared at the sky, then instructed the dozen or so teachers and students to spread the news that Langya Academy could improve their cultivation by eating monsters.
He wanted to make Langya Academy a target of public criticism.
...
The sixth and seventh leaders of the Seven Fiends Alliance finally arrived in the Southern Region and entered Qianlong City.
Although they had reservations about Sun Zhi, they dared not disobey his orders.
Meng Qi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately berated them upon meeting, blaming them for their slow actions. Ji Mo and that Heaven-Suppressing Tyrant Body had already left Qianlong City and were heading to Chizhang City.
Now, they had to flatten Langya Academy first before dealing with Ji Mo.
"Meng Qi, mind your status."
The sixth leader said coldly.
If it were in the past, he would have given Meng Qi some face. But now that Meng Qi was crippled, and given Sun Zhi's personality, it was unlikely he would spend a huge price to heal him.
It could be said that Meng Qi was no longer what he used to be and would eventually become Sun Zhi's discarded pawn.
"Sixth Leader, don't forget, I am the Alliance Leader's mount."
Meng Qi invoked Sun Zhi to pressure them.
He relied on being Sun Zhi's mount and being favored, never putting the leaders of the Seven Fiends Alliance in his eyes.
"With your current state, do you still have the right to be Boss Sun's mount?"
The seventh leader cruelly struck him down. He had suffered Meng Qi's bullying many times before.
"Heh, you two are too naive. Do you think I'll be abandoned by my master just because my cultivation is lost?"
Meng Qi revealed a mocking expression and continued, "My master has ordered that you two must obey my command. If you refuse, you will be dealt with according to the alliance rules."
The sixth and seventh leaders exchanged glances, finding it hard to believe that Sun Zhi was so loyal and valued Meng Qi so highly under these circumstances. This was very strange.
However, they didn't know that Meng Qi was the one who connected Sun Zhi with the demon race.
Therefore, Meng Qi's position was crucial, and he could not be easily discarded.
"Impossible."
The sixth leader did not believe it and immediately took out his communication jade pendant to inquire with Sun Zhi.
However, he received an affirmative reply, clearly showing that in Sun Zhi's heart, Meng Qi's weight far exceeded theirs.
"Sixth Leader, I know you have a Great Returning Pill, which has a good effect on repairing damaged dantian. Can you lend it to me?"
Meng Qi directly extorted them.
He then claimed to be weak and asked the seventh leader for several precious herbs.
The sixth and seventh leaders' faces turned red with anger, but they dared not speak out. They could only obediently submit to his blackmail.
From this, their dissatisfaction with Sun Zhi grew.
Meng Qi immediately consumed the Great Returning Pill and took several precious herbs, and his injuries recovered significantly, allowing him to transform back into human form.
His face contorted with ferocity, and he gritted his teeth, roaring, "It's time for a thorough reckoning. Let's go flatten Langya Academy and leave no one alive."
