Supreme Dragon Seal

With this strike, the faces of the mentors and students from various academies present twitched, as if the slap had landed on their faces. Intimidated by the cold and icy aura emanating from Qi Bei at this moment, they dared not even take a breath.

Will climbed up from the ground, his eyes bloodshot, panting heavily as if an enraged beast. He staggered towards Qi Bei.

However, under the gaze of Qi Bei, as soon as he reached his front, he dared not take another step forward. The anger within him was extinguished as if doused by a bucket of icy water.

“Smack!”

Qi Bei swung his hand and slapped Will on the other side of his face. He was once again sent flying, spitting out a few teeth. Finally, his two cheeks were balanced.

“Qi Bei, you’ve gone too far!” Will growled in a low voice. His face was swollen like a pig, blood streaming from the corners of his mouth and nose, making him look quite terrifying.

“Just too far? So what? You, a useless coward, deserve to be beaten. You don’t even have the courage to look at this young master, yet you keep whining. You’re such a wimp, not even worth a step on my shoe. The heavens can’t stand the sight of someone like you,” Qi Bei sneered as he walked over, pressing his foot on Will’s face, burying his head in the sandy ground of the arena.

A feeling of humiliation surged through Will’s body, and he trembled all over.

“You call yourself one of the three geniuses of the Nord family? With your pathetic appearance, how can you compare yourself to Huai’an and Milo? You used to be arrogant, hiding behind the Nord family name and your father’s reputation. Do you know what you look like now? You’re like a puddle of mud in a stinking gutter, unable to stand up straight. Not only are you a disgrace to your father, even if he really joined the dark faction, he would still have courage and determination. The real disgrace is you, you pathetic waste,” Qi Bei mocked, continuously stomping on him with his boot while hurling insults.

Will’s trembling body became more and more intense. He had always been the pride of the Nord family and even the entire Golden Leaf Imperial City. He was arrogant and conceited, doing things that made him feel proud. But when he suddenly realized that he had lost the thing he could rely on, fear, anger, and self-doubt consumed him. He never truly had confidence; his previous so-called confidence was merely arrogance built upon a strong background.

And now, Qi Bei, the person he had arrogantly mocked as trash, was ruthlessly pressing his foot onto his face, using the truth to tell him that the real trash was himself, Will Nord.

“I’m not… I’m not a pathetic waste… I’m not…” Will’s heart was pierced with pain. His head buzzed, and he began to struggle desperately.

Qi Bei released his foot, and Will, like a mad beast, pounced fiercely towards him, wanting to tear him apart.

Qi Bei threw a punch. His control over his strength was exquisite, causing Will to fall to the ground instantly without injuring his bones.

Will got up and charged again, only to be struck down once more.

After three such encounters, Qi Bei placed his hand on Will’s chest, rendering him immobile, but his gaze still carried madness.

“Aren’t you afraid of death?” Qi Bei asked calmly.

“I will kill you even if I have to die!” Will roared fiercely.

“Very well, now you’re showing a bit of what it means to be a descendant of the Nord family. But you don’t even dare to fight for your life. How can you be worthy of the honorable name of Nord?” Qi Bei said calmly.

Will hesitated for a moment, looking at him. The madness in his eyes subsided.

Qi Bei withdrew his hand and spoke, “That guy just humiliated you. What should you do?”

Will turned his gaze to Joseph, not far away. Once again, a brutal light emanated from his eyes. His blood seemed to boil, driving away all his cowardice and fear. This power that made his blood boil was called “bloodthirst.” He let out a wild roar as he charged towards Joseph with his sword, with an unstoppable momentum.

Joseph had been thrown out by Qi Bei’s strike earlier, and his momentum had already diminished. Now, seeing the madness in Will’s eyes, a hint of fear surged within him. When brave fighters meet in narrow paths, the one with unwavering determination prevails. Even though the difference in strength between the two opponents was not significant, one held an unwavering resolve while the other hesitated, and that alone decided the outcome in terms of momentum.

Originally, Joseph had the upper hand in terms of strength, but now, with weakened momentum, the fight between them became evenly matched.

After a while, Will let out a wild roar. The longsword in his hand emitted a green battle qi, directly aiming for Joseph’s heart.

At the same time, Joseph’s sword swung towards Will’s neck. If both their moves remained unchanged, it was highly likely that they would end up mutually destroying each other.

Will howled, showing no intention of dodging, allowing Joseph’s sword to slash towards his own neck, while his longsword resolutely stabbed towards Joseph’s heart.

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. They didn’t expect such a thrilling battle to unfold before the exchange had even officially begun. This was true combat, and even just watching it, they were infected by Will’s fierce spirit, their blood boiling with excitement.

As it seemed they were about to meet their end together, Joseph suddenly retreated. He thought of his parents, siblings, his beautiful wives, and his recently born child. He still had a good life to continue, and he didn’t want to perish with this madman.

So Joseph swiftly withdrew his move, rolling on the ground, creating a bloody gash on his chest but avoiding the fatal blow at the same time.

“I surrender!” Joseph shouted loudly as soon as he evaded the attack. He knew that after the previous move, he had completely fallen into a passive position. Faced with Will’s reckless and desperate fighting style, and considering his own desire to preserve his life, even if he didn’t die, he would be severely injured.

Originally, in this kind of exchange, they wouldn’t really fight to the death, and once one side surrendered, the other was not allowed to continue pursuing. After all, this wasn’t a life-or-death arena. However, when Joseph declared his surrender, no one among the spectators made any move to stop the fight, not even his mentor from the same academy.

Therefore, Will’s attacks didn’t stop at all; one wave followed another.

Joseph couldn’t even spare a word and could only dodge the attacks desperately. After evading several waves of attacks in a sorry state, his pupils suddenly contracted. The battle qi on the tip of Will’s sword aimed for one of his eyes, and at this moment, he couldn’t evade any longer. He let out a fierce roar as he thrust his longsword forward.

“Splurt” “Splurt”

Two sounds of flesh being pierced. Will’s sword went straight into Joseph’s left eye, piercing through the back of his head. He had already lost his breath. Meanwhile, Joseph’s sword was embedded in Will’s abdomen, blood flowing profusely, but it wasn’t a fatal wound.

Suddenly, Will burst into a maniacal laughter, sweeping away the pent-up resentment and replacing it with a refreshing feeling, as if he had been reborn.

After his laughter subsided, Will forcefully pulled out the longsword from his abdomen, using his remaining energy to stop the bleeding. Then, he walked over to Qi Bei’s side.

“Qi Bei, thank you,” Will said, even though he appeared incredibly miserable, neither human nor ghost. But his gaze was sincere and filled with admiration.

“No need to thank me. It’s only because your last name is Nord,” Qi Bei said calmly. Just now, he had dispersed Joseph’s cry of surrender, so no one heard it.

“Haha, that’s right. Who dares to bully the Nord family? We can always fight to the death,” Will laughed heartily.

Everyone silently watched Will and Qi Bei. Suddenly, there was a feeling that the Nord family was not in decline after all. Their younger generation had already shown such strength.

Feng Ruoyu’s beautiful eyes filled with admiration. This was her Brother Qi Bei, who awakened the fierce blood rage of his clan brother with just a few words. His calm and commanding presence resonated deeply within her heart. No matter what, she was determined to firmly hold onto Qi Bei.

Huo Siqin felt the same way. Just the thought of being Qi Bei’s lover filled her with immense happiness

Ming Yue stood on the steps of the grand hall, watching this scene in the martial arts arena, her gaze complex.

Joseph’s body was quickly taken away. Even if he died, it was in vain.

At that moment, Emperor Han Mo walked out. Judging by his expression, he seemed unaware of what had just happened, but everyone knew that was impossible.

Qi Bei still disguised himself as Shi Liumang and mingled among the exchange group from the Sunset Royal Academy. Even though everyone knew his true identity, they didn’t know if he was bored or had other intentions.

During the theoretical exchange, Qi Bei suddenly yawned, leaned on Huo Siqin’s thigh, and fell into a deep sleep in front of everyone’s eyes.

Huo Siqin felt a bit shy, but her heart was filled with sweetness, so she didn’t care about the strange gazes of others.

With his head resting on the beautiful woman’s thigh, Qi Bei was enjoying the smooth and elastic feeling of her leg when suddenly, a force in the air transformed into a sharp mental spike and pierced towards his brow.

Qi Bei’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he released his own mental force, fiercely colliding with the attacking spike. In the moment when the mental spike shattered, his mental force enveloped a trace of its trail and followed it. Soon, in a cellar of the palace, he discovered the person who launched the mental attack on him. As the shattered force retreated from his consciousness, his enveloped mental force also entered the attacker’s mind.

Suddenly, Qi Bei’s mental force exploded within the person’s mind. They let out a scream of agony, blood flowing from their seven orifices, and collapsed, becoming a living dead.

Now, Qi Bei’s soul was unexpectedly powerful. Even a Heavenly-grade spiritual mage would fear his mental attacks. At that moment, several people rushed into the cellar and helped the fallen person up.

Qi Bei opened his eyes and glanced at the somewhat absent-minded Emperor Han Mo. While the mentors from the academies engaged in a heated debate, he got up from Huo Siqin’s leg without saying a word and walked out confidently.

Since Emperor Han Mo had turned a blind eye, the others naturally wouldn’t say anything.

Qi Bei walked out of the martial arts arena, ignoring the guards following behind him. He headed directly towards the direction of the cellar. The cellar was located in a palace courtyard where palace maids resided, so immediately guards stepped forward to block him.

“This is the residence of palace maids. Guests are not allowed to proceed,” a palace guard politely said.

“What if I don’t stop?” Qi Bei smiled.

“Clang!”

A group of palace guards drew their swords with a menacing aura, while crossbowmen and mages kept a watchful eye on him from a distance.

Qi Bei chuckled and suddenly disappeared from his original position.
