Celestial Peak

At this moment a beautiful young lady who was garnering many attention was heading for the Martial Hall. This beautiful young lady looked like she was only 16 years of age and had a beauty that was as pretty as a picture.

She looked like a fairy that had descended from the heavens to this earth, like a blessing that was bestowed by the heavens. As she was walking along the roads that led to the Martial Hall, the beauty she exuded made many men gaze at her with desires in their eyes.

This young lady was one of the rising geniuses in the outer circle. This young lady was called, Liang Xinya.

It had been a long time since Liang Xinya had come to the Martial Hall. She had been in seclusion for three months now as she was trying to reach energy palace as soon as she could. At the moment she had already reached half-step energy palace but she had met with a wall in her cultivation.

"Is the person who beat Senior Tian De really there?" she was skeptical about the news regarding the new genius who had supposedly defeated Tian De.

The story regarding Wang Ling had of course reach her ears but she was still doubtful about his skills. Wanting to see for herself just what skills this man who beat someone from the inner circle possesses. She quickly went to the Martial Hall after receiving news about Wang Ling.

Liang Xinya went for it and went to the Martial Hall to see if Wang Ling was truly there. Just as she was entering, the sound of thunder was heard.

Her ears started ringing as she was caught off-guard by that loud sound. She looked around to find the area where that sound came from and found a group of people hurling curses at someone.

Liang Xinya barely managed to catch a glimpse of the banner that was in the middle of the group of people.

She read the words written on the banner and immediately frowned.

[Strongest of the outer circle: Challenge fee 500 points!!!! Rewards: 1000 points and the title of the strongest!?

What kind of nonsense is this? When did such an audacious character appeared in the academy? Wait, is the one who put that thing up Rashiki? From the three of us, he's the only one I can think of doing something like this.]

Being one of the three greatest geniuses in the outer circle of the academy. Liang Xinya has the right to claim that she is strong. But even she does not consider herself as the strongest.

While she was deep in contemplation, another piercing sound of thunder was heard. A cry of agony followed as loud bellow rang out.

"What a bunch of weaklings! That's the fifth one and none of you can even touch me! What the hell are you people doing in this academy?"

Liang Xinya did not recognize that voice, but she was sure that this voice belonged to the person who set up that audacious sign.

[What a clown. Whoever this is, he must be someone with inflated ego or something.]

Liang Xinya walked over the crowd and the one of the students saw her and immediately created a scene.

"It's Liang Xinya, she had come to take this bastard out! Haha, I knew one of the three great geniuses won't back down from the challenge this bastard was spouting!"

"I know, but don't you think news travel too fast? He had only taken on five opponent and one of the three great geniuses is actually here? Does Liang Xinya have a grudge with Wang Ling?"

"Who cares why!? The only thing that matters is that Wang Ling is going to get his ass handed to him. Miss Liang, go and break the legs of that bastard!"

The moment Liang Xinya appeared, the crowd that had been too dejected to look at Wang Ling in the eye suddenly started smiling as if hope had come. Liang Xinya was a genius and a strongest woman of the outer circle.

The only people who can match her is Rashiki and Zhenya. Seeing her appear this time had actually made them look at Wang Ling with viciousness present in their eyes. Their minds were actually beginning to emulate the outcome of the fight where Wang Ling is groveling on the ground and Liang Xinya stomping him with her foot.

Liang Xinya listened to the numerous conversations and learned a lot of things.

[Wang Ling, do they mean the Wang Ling who beat Senior Tian De?]

Liang Xinya turned her head to one of the students and made him spit out what is happening. The student gladly complied and started reciting the events that had transpired upon Wang Ling's arrival in the academy to the current situation.

Liang Xinya heard everything and with that student's exaggeration, Liang Xinya gradually come to see Wang Ling more and more in a bad light. In the end, Liang Xinya held the worst impression of Wang Ling.

Especially when she saw that the second opponent she had was actually a woman and he had actually beaten her up until her face was swollen.

"What a despicable bastard!" she actually wanted to have a conversation with someone like him? Liang Xinya felt terrible. The anger she had in her heart burst and she quickly rose to the air and landed in front of Wang Ling who was doing his usual provocative speeches.

Wang Ling took note of Liang Xinya and smiled. He noticed that she was looking at him with hate in her eyes as if he had offended her for something.

[It's working!] Wang Ling had been trying his best worsening his image just to get more opponents who bet with him out of anger. By now, Wang Ling's reputation was beginning to take a nose dive.

This beauty in front of him was someone who will become a great tool on raising his infamy. If he can make use of this lady's appearance then he will be able to make his infamy spread far and wide. If that happens, Wang Ling will have opponent until the time of his departure.

He wasn't in this academy to become buddies with other students. He came here to get resources out of them and enter the Thundergod Academy by taking the spot that was rightfully meant for their students.

Wang Ling was someone who is considered as a calamity in the past who did various things to get what he needed. There were many who saw him as an evil person and Wang Ling will not deny that he was no saint.

Although what he is doing now is a mere petty crime of taking advantage of his position as a junior in comparison to what he did on the past; he is not still someone who will make a lady like this become a tool for him to be used.

He may not know who she is, but seeing the adoration she is being showered with. Wang Ling had a good idea of her position in the academy making it suitable for her to act as the bait.

"What, are you also here to challenge me?" Wang Ling asked in a mocking tone. "Little girl, scram away for me before I make you regret coming here. Someone who look as weak as you shouldn't be here!"

Liang Xinya was offended by those words and her aura began to rise. Her beautiful face warped as her anger peaked. She wanted to crush Wang Ling here and now.

The aura of a half-step energy palace stage cultivator was revealed. Everyone felt stifled as they experienced the aura of someone that is infinitesimally close to energy palace stage.

Wang Ling looked at her and spoke in a provocative tone, "Hmm, you're someone that is a half-step energy palace stage. The fee you have to pay is higher, to fight me you need two thousand points. Don't say that I'm taking advantage of you, I'm only at sky root stage after all."

Liang Xinya snorted at Wang Ling as she said, "Didn't you fought with Senior Tian De? Do you think I am unable to see through your ploy? You're someone who fought with Senior Tian De and won, what do you me having the advantage?"

"Fighting me has conditions, other student paid so you are no exception."

"Don't worry, you won't be taking anything from me…" Liang Xinya was just about to make her move against Wang Ling when a figure right in front of her.

"I don't like it when other people try and say meaningless things when they don't even have the slightest bit of intelligence in their brains…" Wang Ling tightly clenched his fist and circulated his spirit qi to the limits. He let out a punch that was unlike what he had showed.

The manifestation of a ferocious tiger appeared as Wang Ling executed one of the Eight Tiger Maneuvers attacking pattern. The Eight Tiger Maneuver is not just any skill that can be used to shape the body, it is also a technique that hold great mysteries.

This is one of the attacking patter of the Eight Tiger Maneuvers: [Wind Tiger].

The roars of tiger was accompanied by the howling wind. Liang Xinya saw the fist of Wang Ling coming for her. She feared for her life as she saw the fist that is as formidable as tiger coming for her.

She crossed her arms as she made an attempt to block the attack, yet the instant her flimsy guard touched Wang Ling's fist. Cracking sounds immediately resounded. Before anyone could react, the aura of the half-step energy palace stage cultivator Liang Xinya disappeared.

Thud!

Liang Xinya dropped on the ground with her right arms broken. She raised her head and look at Wang Ling with a terrified expression.

"Don't mess with my business! You are nothing in front of me." It wasn't just Liang Xinya who became frightened but the other students as well.

"Hmph, they actually ignored you? Now, give me the points you owe me. You said you won't be beaten but look at you, on the ground and with a broken arm, so that means you lost right? So give me 2,000 points."

Liang Xinya didn't even try to argue as she did her best to hand over Wang Ling the points she was being asked to give. After receiving the points, Wang Ling smiled and then kept away the bamboo poles that held his banner.

Wang Ling looked at the crowd and said, "Tell this to everyone, if they want to challenge me then just visit me in my dorm."

Wang Ling left after causing such an incident.

News then travelled extremely fast and the story about Liang Xinya being injured by Wang Ling started to spread. He immediately became public enemy number one and dozens of students who wished to take revenge for their goddess started coming to Wang Ling in droves.

Wang Ling received them all and beat everyone with ease. He didn't care who they were and took 500 points every time he fought. Points started rolling in as easy as that and inside Wang Ling's mind he was celebrating the fact that he was a public enemy.

[All according to plan I supposed.]
