On the battlefield, in the air, Orchon's father had an expression of agony on his face.
Orchon's talent was extraordinary, and he was extremely outstanding in the Ou Clan. But now, he had died in the hands of Qin Wentian. He would never forget that Orfon had suffered the same fate.
At this moment, his veins were bulging as his killing intent surged.
"It's useless, Janus." Orchon's father howled in rage in his heart. Janus was Orchon's teacher and had a close relationship with him. He had secretly provided Janus with a large amount of cultivation resources, and as long as Janus could kill Qin Wentian, he would allow him to escape to a faraway place, and at the same time, reward him handsomely.
However, Janus had failed, resulting in Orchon's death today. His heart was filled with hatred. If he had valued Qin Wentian earlier, he would have long sent powerful Yuanfu cultivators to assassinate him.
Now that Qin Wentian was at the Arterial Circulation Realm, if he wanted to kill him, only a Yuanfu cultivator would be able to do so. However, Chu Tianjiao didn't want to break the stalemate so quickly.
The Royal Academy's momentum grew weaker and weaker. Although they had the advantage in numbers, it wasn't easy for them to kill their opponents in a short period of time. But Qin Wentian and the others were different. Whenever he saw someone powerful in the Royal Academy's camp, he would kill that person. If this continued, the Royal Academy would be defeated sooner or later.
Upon seeing this scene, Ou Fu's father felt joy in his heart as he whispered, "Your Highness, if Qin Wentian doesn't die, it would be extremely difficult for us to win."
Chu Tianjiao glanced at his father, and naturally understood his thoughts. His eyes flickered as he commanded, "Retreat."
As the sound of his voice faded, the Royal Academy's cultivators retreated as they fought. The Emperor Star Academy's morale soared as they chased after their opponents. However, they didn't overdo it. After all, there were still many Yuanfu cultivators on the battlefield. If they chased after their opponents, who knew what would happen?
Both sides retreated back to their respective camps. In the middle of the battlefield, countless corpses could be seen, as fresh blood dyed the ground red.
In this short period of time, 70 to 80 people had died on the battlefield. This was war.
The eyes of many from the Emperor Star Academy and Royal Academy turned red. Among those who died were their friends. Not long ago, they were still playing around with them, but now, they had become ice-cold corpses. Only now did they realize how cruel the world of cultivation was. In the future, if they wanted to grow stronger, they would have to experience even more.
Qin Wentian stood in front of the crowd from the Emperor Star Academy. Inclining his head, he stared at the skies, his eyes filled with a demonic killing intent.
The students of the Imperial City were all young people. It should have been a paradise for cultivation, but now, because of the struggle for power, it had become a cold-blooded battlefield.
Chu Tianjiao and the rest also saw Qin Wentian, as killing intent flashed in their eyes. Evidently, Qin Wentian had already been included in the list of people who had to be killed. However, they were worried that the Emperor Star Academy would go crazy, and thus, they didn't dare to act rashly.
"Retreat." Chu Tianjiao coldly commanded, as the students of the Royal Academy began to retreat.
"Return to the academy." Ren Qianxing shouted, as the students of the Emperor Star Academy also left.
Although the Emperor Star Academy had won this battle, no one felt relaxed. Everyone felt as though they were carrying a huge mountain on their backs, and their hearts were heavy. This was only the beginning of the battle.
In the Royal Academy, Xiao Lan, Chu Tianjiao and the rest were gathered together. Even the Ye Clan, Ou Clan, and the other clans were present.
Xiao Lan's fingers drummed on the armrest of his chair, as his expression turned gloomy. He was extremely dissatisfied with the result of the first battle.
"I don't wish to stay in Chu for too long. At most, I will take down the Emperor Star Academy within three months." Xiao Lan's indifferent voice was like a command. The secret of the Azure Emperor was hidden in the Emperor Star Academy, and the first thing he had to do was to make the Emperor Star Academy submit. If they didn't submit, he would destroy them. But even so, he didn't have much time to stay here.
He had too many competitors in the Nine Continents. If he stayed here for too long, it would be hard to guarantee that he wouldn't be left behind. If that happened, it would be extremely shameful.
"Young Master Xiao, at the Arterial Circulation Realm, it would be extremely difficult for us to suppress our opponents." Ou Fu's father stated, "If we can't suppress the Emperor Star Academy, the only way to make them submit is through a Yuanfu battle."
Xiao Lan's countenance was calm as he listened to his father's words. After which, he turned to Chu Tianjiao and asked, "What do you think?"
Chu Tianjiao was silent for a moment before replying in a low voice, "I will send some Arterial Circulation Realm cultivators from the army to mix in with the students of the Royal Academy, and conduct another Arterial Circulation Battle."
"What if they still can't win?" Xiao Lan asked.
"In that case, we can only proceed with a Yuanfu battle." Chu Tianjiao calmly stated. Yuanfu cultivators were the elites of Chu, and if he could avoid such a battle, he would definitely do so. Once the battle started, the deaths of Yuanfu cultivators would undoubtedly cause the strength of Chu to decline.
"Qin Wentian, he …" Ou Fu's father intentionally reminded Chu Tianjiao.
"If we use Yuanfu cultivators to kill Qin Wentian, I'm afraid that the Emperor Star Academy would be angered. Not only that, if we were to infuriate the Emperor Star Academy, who would bear the consequences?" Chu Tianjiao murmured, his gaze fixed on Ou Fu's father. He naturally understood his father's intentions.
Chu Tianjiao naturally wanted Qin Wentian to die, but he had to consider the possible consequences.
"We don't have to kill him." Someone from the Ye Clan spoke. This person was Ye Liuyang.
"Old Ye, what do you think?" Chu Tianjiao looked at Ye Liuyang.
"There are secrets on Qin Wentian's body, and we can capture him alive. If we fail, the Emperor Star Academy wouldn't go crazy. But if we succeed, we won't kill him, and the Emperor Star Academy would hold back in fear of harming the innocent. In the future, when the Emperor Star Academy fights back, we can release Qin Wentian. However, this period of time is sufficient for us to do many things."
Ye Liuyang revealed a scheming expression, causing Chu Tianjiao's eyes to flash with a bright light as he laughed, "Old Ye's plan is indeed brilliant. However, how should we execute it?"
Ye Liuyang cast a glance at Chu Tianjiao. From the calm countenance of Chu Tianjiao, he couldn't see anything amiss. However, he understood that Chu Tianjiao had long since wanted to capture Qin Wentian alive. Yet, Chu Tianjiao chose to wait for someone else to speak.
The relationship between Qin Wentian, the Ou Clan, and the Ye Clan was extremely poor.
"Let the Ou Clan execute it, with the Ye Clan as support." Ye Liuyang spoke, as he and Chu Tianjiao turned their gazes onto Ou Fu's father.
Ou Fu's father silently cursed at the shrewdness of these people, but he hardened his heart and agreed, "Fine."
"Since this is the case, you guys can discuss the details." Chu Tianjiao smiled. "Regardless of the outcome, I will not allow the Ou Clan and Ye Clan to fall into danger."
Seeing the smile on Chu Tianjiao's face, Ye Liuyang and Ou Fu both expressed their gratitude.
After returning to the academy, Qin Wentian began his cultivation. Such a frenzied battle was extremely exhausting. He could only use Yuan Meteor Stones to replenish his Yuan Energy, and at the same time, continue to condense his Divine Energy. When his energy recovered, Qin Wentian could clearly feel that his arterial pathways were about to undergo a transformation. It was as though they had widened a little. It was extremely obvious that such a frenzied battle would greatly increase his strength.
In Qin Wentian's heart, he was extremely anxious. Ultimately, his strength was still too weak. If he could condense his arterial pathways into a Yuanfu and condense the Yuan Energy in his body into a liquid form, storing it within the Yuanfu Pool, then this little bit of exhaustion would be nothing.
At the Yuanfu Realm, Astral Energy would condense into liquid droplets. Every single droplet contained a large amount of Astral Energy.
At the same time, an ocean of Yuan Energy would appear within his body, also known as the Yuanfu Pool. The Yuan Energy droplets would then be stored within the Yuanfu Pool, as though it was inexhaustible.
And as one's cultivation grew stronger, the Yuanfu Pool would expand as well, storing even more Yuan Energy droplets. When one's cultivation reached the peak of Yuanfu, the Yuanfu Pool would transform into a true ocean of Yuan Energy, and within it, Astral Souls would be born.
As for the later stages, Qin Wentian wasn't too clear. Maybe it would be the same as the memories he obtained from the tiny Astral-Being. Outside the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, there was a terrifying constellation. He didn't know if that was the realm after Heavenly Dipper. Sometimes, he would wonder, how strong was his old fogey's cultivation base? Most probably, even the current him wouldn't be able to reach that level.
Thinking of this, Qin Wentian would occasionally feel depressed in his heart. That old fogey's old fogey's father was an extremely powerful character, yet he himself was constantly facing danger. However, this was merely a thought. To truly be strong, one had to take things one step at a time. He believed that he would be able to reach that level sooner or later.
After his cultivation ended, Qin Wentian went to the Divine Weapon Pavilion. He wasn't worried about his own safety, as Qin Wentian knew that there were people in the Emperor Star Academy protecting him from the shadows.
An Liuyan personally received him, and Qin Wentian called for several weaponsmiths to assist him in forging weapons. He himself was inscribing Divine Imprints on his weapons, and started to forge Divine Weapons in batches.
Today, some of the weaponsmiths in the Divine Weapon Pavilion were truly shocked. Before this, they had heard many rumors about Qin Wentian, but today, they truly admired Qin Wentian, to the point of worship. In the entire Chu Country, there weren't many people who could forge Divine Weapons in batches.
However, Qin Wentian's thoughts were different. To forge Divine Weapons in such a frenzied manner, the consumption of materials was also extremely shocking. However, An Liuyan didn't hold anything back and cooperated with him, disregarding the results. This caused Qin Wentian to remember this favor in his heart.
After returning to the Emperor Star Academy, Qin Wentian and the Elders distributed the Divine Weapons, and at the same time, made sufficient preparations for the next round of battles.
Finally, the Royal Academy and the Emperor Star Academy walked out once again. And as though they had some sort of tacit understanding, they returned to the location where the previous battle took place.
The experts of the two sides faced off against each other. This time around, the Royal Academy had more people than the Emperor Star Academy. Their numbers were more than twice that of the Emperor Star Academy.
In the air, the silhouettes of the Royal Academy stood loftily, gazing down with disdain as killing intent permeated the air.
Qin Wentian stood on the ground, his acute senses telling him that there were many people staring at him. Inclining his head, he stared at the air in the distance, and saw several pairs of eyes flickering with killing intent.
Xiao Lan also calmly glanced at Qin Wentian, the look in his eyes was like he was looking down at an ant. As someone from the Xiao Faction of the Nine Mystical Palace, he naturally wouldn't place Qin Wentian in his eyes. This person actually rejected the opportunity he had given him. In that case, his ending was already destined. If it wasn't for the fact that there was a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign protecting him, he would have long since ordered his subordinates to kill Qin Wentian.
In his eyes, although Qin Wentian had talent, he didn't know how high the Heavens were. He also didn't know what position he stood at.
