Zhou Yan laughed heartily. A mocking expression appeared on his face, as if he could already see the scene of Wang Teng being defeated by him.
"Hmph! You can't possibly succeed."
Wang Teng snorted coldly. He once again unleashed the Black Wind Spear, and streaks of terrifying black spear shadows swept towards Zhou Yan.
"Bang bang bang!"
The spear shadows collided with the long sword, emitting fierce sounds. Both figures were sent flying backward. Wang Teng's clothes were torn, and a wound deep enough to see bone appeared on his chest. Blood streamed out, dyeing his clothes red.
"This... this..." Zhou Yan was stunned.
He never imagined that Wang Teng's physical body could be so strong, capable of withstanding his attacks.
"What, are you still planning to resist?" Wang Teng sneered, his gaze towards Zhou Yan filled with mockery.
"I admit I am no match for you, but you can't defeat me either," Zhou Yan gritted his teeth.
"Heh, I wouldn't dare defeat you, after all, I'm only at the Half-step Condensing Core stage. I only wish to survive now, and hope you let me go. Otherwise, I will die here."
Zhou Yan said with bitterness.
"Don't worry, we have an agreement, you won't deal with me. As long as you let me leave, I guarantee I won't pursue your responsibility."
Wang Teng said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He believed Wang Teng's words; Wang Teng wouldn't dare to kill him within the academy, or the consequences would be severe. Not only would he suffer, but the entire academy would be implicated.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll let you off for now. However, I hope you remember your words today. If you dare to seek revenge on me in the future, I will make sure you wish you were dead, but cannot die."
Zhou Yan said fiercely. He hated Wang Teng to the core, but at this moment, to save his life, he could only endure humiliation.
"Good, I promise you!"
Wang Teng nodded. He knew that at this moment, Zhou Yan was already somewhat wary of him.
"Hoo!"
Zhou Yan exhaled a breath of stale air. He glanced at Wang Teng and said coldly, "You can scram now!"
"Thank you, I'm leaving," Wang Teng said with a faint smile.
"En."
Zhou Yan nodded, without looking at Wang Teng again, he turned to leave.
"Wait, kid, this is a forbidden area of the Sky Cloud Sect, not a place you can come to casually. So, you'd better behave and don't wander around, otherwise, I will kill you."
Zhou Yan suddenly turned his head and sneered at Wang Teng.
"Are you a disciple of the Sky Cloud Sect?" Wang Teng raised an eyebrow and asked doubtfully.
"That's right."
Zhou Yan nodded, his eyes filled with pride. This Sky Cloud Sect was one of the top dozens of major powers in Tiannan City, and he was its disciple. Every disciple of the Sky Cloud Sect had terrifying cultivation, and could even fight beyond their level.
"Oh."
Wang Teng nodded and asked no further questions, turning to leave.
"You wretched brat, I just saved you, and you want to leave without even saying thank you?" Zhou Yan shouted at Wang Teng's retreating back.
"Heh, you didn't say you wanted me to thank you just now."
Wang Teng stopped and turned around, saying playfully. The expression on his face was full of amusement, as if mocking Zhou Yan.
"You..."
Zhou Yan was instantly enraged, not knowing what to say.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, a female disciple of the Sky Cloud Sect suddenly appeared on the plaza. Her figure was graceful, her face charming, and her pair of beautiful large eyes were as captivating as stars.
"Senior Sister, this fellow was trying to deceive Junior Brother and recommend me into the Sky Cloud Sect. Fortunately, I was clever and he failed to deceive me."
"I see. Continue your fight, I will handle this matter."
The female disciple said, her gaze sweeping over Wang Teng and Zhou Yan, her eyes filled with strong disgust.
Her name was Li Yao, and she was a disciple of the younger generation of the Sky Cloud Sect. Zhou Yan was merely a handyman disciple, so how could she place him in her eyes.
After Li Yao finished speaking, she prepared to leave.
"You damned slut, how dare you humiliate me like this! You're seeking death."
Zhou Yan was furious, his aura surging madly. He was a genius, a core disciple of the Sky Cloud Sect, with a noble status, and had never suffered such humiliation. Even the elders of the Sky Cloud Sect treated him with courtesy.
"Seeking death?"
Li Yao scoffed, her gaze carrying a hint of disdain.
"Little slut, you dare to look down on me? I will definitely let you know the consequences of offending me!" Zhou Yan, enraged, suddenly lunged at Li Yao.
"Bang bang bang..."
Zhou Yan's fists, carrying terrifying force, rained down on Li Yao.
"Mere petty tricks!"
Li Yao smiled dismissively. She flicked her right hand, and a long sword shot out. The tip of the sword glinted with cold light, releasing a chilling sword intent.
This sword was of extremely high grade, a spiritual artifact. Zhou Yan was startled upon seeing this. His attack could not possibly break through the defense of a spiritual artifact, let alone the fact that Li Yao's strength was greater than his.
Without a second thought, Zhou Yan immediately retracted his palm and turned to flee.
Zhou Yan's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Wang Teng's sight.
"Heh, truly a waste." Li Yao sneered and retracted her spiritual sword.
Wang Teng watched Zhou Yan disappear into the distance, shook his head, and turned to walk out of the academy.
Wang Teng didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't linger and quickly left the Sky Cloud Sect. However, before leaving, he paid special attention to Zhou Yan's movements.
"Hmph, I'll let you off this time. Next time, you won't be so lucky to encounter a powerful expert like me."
Zhou Yan sneered.
"Buzz!"
Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly emanated from a mountain peak in the Sky Cloud Sect. Immediately afterward, a stone door, entirely purple-blue, appeared at the summit of the peak.
This stone door exuded an ancient and weathered aura. It was covered with dense patterns, appearing somewhat strange.
"Sky Cloud Stone Door. It is the treasure of the Sky Cloud Sect, and only core disciples within the Sky Cloud Sect can use it," a hoarse voice rang out, carrying a sense of pressure.
"The Sky Cloud Stone Door is opening, and those with destiny will have the qualification to receive a reward. This reward, for you, might not be unfamiliar. It is the treasure of the Sky Cloud Sect, the Sky Cloud Lightning Sword."
"Although the power of the Sky Cloud Lightning Sword is a notch below the Sky Cloud Thunder Sword, it is also a treasure of the Sky Cloud Sect, a top-tier martial art, capable of allowing you to reach the Heavenly Immortal level from the Great Perfection of the Body Refining Realm."
"Of course, only core disciples are qualified to use the Sky Cloud Lightning Sword. Others, even if they obtain the Sky Cloud Stone Door, will likely not be able to control it."
The ancient voice spoke again, this time with a hint of excitement.
Clearly, the owner of this voice was very excited, because the emergence of the Sky Cloud Stone Door gave them a premonition that something good was about to appear.
"What? The Sky Cloud Stone Door is opening, and something good will appear?"
