On the Sky Continent, in Arumanis City, within the territory of the Han Family.
A fifteen-year-old teenager ran while clutching his swollen face. He had just been beaten by several people from another family. At that moment, another teenager watched from a distance, narrowing his eyes. He approached and asked, “What happened to your face? Who dared to hit you?” This teenager was named Han Tian, a cultivation genius who was also the older brother of the boy. Anger truly rose within his chest upon seeing his younger brother hurt like this, but he restrained himself and wanted to hear what had really happened. The boy’s name was Han Nian. He was utterly useless—the complete opposite of his praised older brother. He was nothing but despised trash. In this world, strength was everything. If you were not strong, it was better to die! Han Nian was born with a sealed Dantian, making him completely unable to cultivate. He started training very late, only after the age of ten. Because of his inability to store energy, he could not break through his limits. Fortunately, his older brother was kind-hearted and continuously provided care as well as many medicinal resources. Because of that, he was finally able to cultivate. However, due to his late start, he could only train up to Bronze Level, One Star. Meanwhile, normal children began training at the age of seven. As for those born geniuses, they did not need much time to adapt to energy. At the age of four or five, they could already absorb it. The difference was extremely striking! Thus, those who had started cultivating earlier, or were the same age as Han Nian, had already reached Bronze Level, Eight Stars. Meanwhile, the talented young geniuses had reached Silver Level. The cultivation levels in the Sky Continent consisted of nine realms, each divided into nine stars. They were: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Earth, Sky, King, Emperor, and Saint. However, since the end of the Era of Destruction thousands of years ago, when a cataclysmic battle took place, no one had been able to reach the Saint Level. The world seemed to be sealed, or perhaps cultivation itself had regressed. “Brother, luckily I have you. I don’t know where else to complain!” He indeed looked foolish, and Han Tian understood that. “Calm down. Big Brother is here. Tell me the truth,” Tian said. “It was Feng and his friends, Brother! They saw me walking with Young Miss Qin at the market and immediately beat me. They also said that I, useless trash, am not worthy of being close to a beautiful woman. That I only ruin the view.” Nian repeated exactly what those people had said in their tone while still holding his aching cheek. Han Tian was furious upon hearing that. Even if members of the Han Family called his younger brother trash, he would teach them a lesson—let alone outsiders. He said, “You go back first and find the Family Physician. Brother will give them the lesson they deserve.” His fists clenched, ready to strike. “Alright, Brother!” Han Nian knew his brother’s personality and strength. Otherwise, he would not have complained to Han Tian. Feng alone would definitely be defeated. He was fully confident in that. Still, he reminded him, “Be careful, Brother!” Tian smiled, ruffled his younger brother’s hair, and turned away. Step by step, it was as if the earth trembled beneath him. A gentle breeze blew, making the leaves sway as though cheering Han Tian on. Upon arriving at the market, Han Tian finally found Feng walking with three members of the Feng Family. He immediately blocked their path, leaping directly in front of Feng. Feng was quite surprised by Tian’s arrival, but he quickly composed himself and folded his arms across his chest, trying to analyze Han Tian’s current strength. “What did my younger brother do wrong? Why did you hit him?” Tian still maintained a calm tone and asked for the exact reason. “Oh, so that trash went and complained too. I thought he wouldn’t say anything to anyone. I forgot he has a so-called genius older brother. You want to know, right? There are two reasons. First, he dared to flirt with Clarissa. Everyone knows she is my fiancée. Second, I really don’t like seeing trash on the road, so I threw him back to where he belongs.” The laughter of his friends followed Feng’s laughter. Their faces were full of delight, as if celebrating something amusing. They paid no attention to the expression on Tian’s face upon hearing the insult. As an older brother, he had to act even more ruthlessly. “Hmmm. You are indeed good with words. Very well, I will also give you a lesson so that you remember never to touch my brother again.” After saying that, Han Tian stomped the ground and leaped forward. A distance of two meters was nothing, and his fist shot straight toward Feng. Feng stepped back several paces, and his three companions tried to block Han Tian’s punch. However, the three of them were sent flying three meters away. How could they possibly withstand a punch containing Silver Level, Three-Star Spiritual Energy with their mere Bronze Level? It would only bring destruction. Taking advantage of the moment, Feng attempted to flee, but Han Tian’s speed far surpassed his own. His effort was clearly futile. Feng’s cultivation was also at the Silver Level, but the difference lay in the stars. Feng was only at Two Stars, one star below Han Tian. This caused the disparity. Even though it was just one star, the gap in strength was enormous—like Heaven and Earth. However, it should be noted that every cultivator possessed their own skills and combat techniques. This was also a distinguishing factor. So even if their realms were the same, it did not mean their strength was equal. That could not be used as a benchmark. Bang! Bang! Bang! In just an instant, Feng was sent flying by three punches from Han Tian that landed on his face, shoulder, and waist. Han Tian did not forget the other three. One of them said, “I was only following Young Master Feng.” But Han Tian said nothing—only swung his leg in a powerful kick. Bang! The man was sent flying again. Turning to the others, Han Tian showed no mercy. He beat them until they were bruised and battered, collapsing onto the ground. His heart was satisfied seeing that.Latest Chapter
Chapter 364: Han Nian Challenges Ming Li
His gaze was sharp and cold, as though he wanted to carve Han Nian's face into his memory. He no longer made any effort to conceal the killing intent hidden in his eyes. To Ming Li, Han Nian was not merely the person who had ruined his plans, but also someone who had turned the Black Star Sect into a laughingstock in front of countless people.However, Han Nian simply stood there with a relaxed expression. He showed no fear whatsoever, even when facing the pressure of a powerful sect leader.Ming Li snorted coldly before addressing the referee. "Since none of you dares to take action, I'll consider this matter settled. I'm taking my disciple away now. If you still want to pursue this matter, think carefully about whether you can bear the consequences."After delivering that threat, he began walking away from the arena with Chang Ye.However, after they had taken only a few steps, a calm voice suddenly rang out from behind them."Wait a moment."Ming Li immediately stopped.Chang Ye, w
Chapter 363: Ming Li's Arrogance
The referee took a deep breath before speaking.“Leader of the Black Star Sect, we understand that you wish to protect your disciple. However, Chang Ye has been proven to have violated the tournament rules. We do not impose punishments based on personal feelings, but on evidence and the laws in effect. Using Muscle-Relaxing Powder to weaken an opponent is a serious offense. Therefore, the punishment is clear. Chang Ye's cultivation must be crippled, and no one should be exempt from the law simply because they come from a powerful background.”He paused briefly before continuing in a firmer voice.“I hope Leader Li can consider this matter with a cool head. If you disagree with our decision, you may file an objection through the proper procedures. However, you cannot simply disregard the decision of the judges and referees just because the person who committed the offense happens to be your own disciple.”Unfortunately, those words only made Ming Li even angrier.“So what if he violate
Chapter 362: Ming Li Defies the Tournament Rules
"After considering the evidence discovered and confirming that Chang Ye used a prohibited item to weaken his opponent, I, as the referee responsible for this match, hereby declare Chang Ye disqualified from the tournament! His actions constitute a serious violation of the competition rules and cannot be tolerated. In addition to losing his right to continue participating in the tournament, he must also accept punishment in accordance with the applicable laws. According to the tournament regulations, any participant proven to have used dishonest methods to secure victory must face the consequences of their actions. Therefore, Chang Ye's cultivation must be crippled!"As soon as the decision was announced, the arena erupted into an uproar once again.Although most spectators had already expected Chang Ye to receive a severe punishment, they were still shocked to hear that his cultivation would actually be crippled. For a cultivator, cultivation was not merely a source of strength. It re
Chapter 361: Chang Ye's Cheating Is Exposed
One of the judges finally stood up and spoke. “This young man's words make sense. We were so focused on his sudden appearance that we overlooked the cause of Mei Xue's condition. If a prohibited item was used, we must find it before making a decision. Everyone, examine the battle area carefully. Do not overlook a single clue!”The judges and referee immediately got to work. They inspected the arena floor, the spot where Mei Xue had previously been standing, and the location where the small bottle thrown by Chang Ye had shattered. Some of them circulated their Qi to sense changes in the surrounding energy, while others examined the surface of the stone floor for any remaining fragments.Not long afterward, one of the judges who was inspecting the area where Mei Xue had lost her strength suddenly exclaimed.“Ah! Wait a moment!”Everyone immediately turned toward him.The judge frowned and raised his hand, sensing an extremely faint trace of energy in the air.“Something is wrong here. A
Chapter 360: Han Nian Exposes the Unfairness
“That's enough!”The referee's voice finally rang out, interrupting the increasingly heated argument. He looked at Han Nian with a serious expression before continuing, “Young man, I understand that you're worried about your disciple, but there are rules we must follow. You cannot arbitrarily interfere in someone else's match, especially when both contestants agreed to a private wager before the battle began. They willingly accepted the consequences of that wager. If everyone were allowed to enter the arena simply because they were worried about someone, then what would be the point of holding a tournament with clearly established rules? You should have allowed them to finish their fight instead of suddenly appearing and breaking one of the contestants' hands.”Han Nian turned toward the referee. He did not answer immediately, merely staring at the man for several moments with an expression that suggested he had just heard something utterly ridiculous. He then shifted his gaze toward
Chapter 359: Han Nian Steps In
“What happened?” Mei Xue muttered in shock.She tried to summon her strength once again, but the result remained the same. Her Qi continued to weaken before she could even understand the cause.In the seating area reserved for the sect leaders, Ming Li finally revealed a faint smile.Good, Ye'er. You've finally used the item I gave you.His eyes narrowed as he watched Mei Xue gradually lose her strength.The Muscle-Weakening Powder was no ordinary poison. It could disrupt the flow of energy within the body and temporarily weaken an opponent's strength. Most importantly, no one could easily detect it. Even if someone noticed the powder, they might not necessarily know what effect it had. As long as Ye'er took proper advantage of this opportunity, victory would belong to him.Ming Li did not care how Chang Ye obtained his victory. As far as he was concerned, as long as his disciple defeated Mei Xue and preserved his cultivation, any method he used could be considered part of the battle.
