The gazes of countless people landed on Qin Wentian. What decision would he make?
"Bzzz!" The long spear in Orchon's hands shimmered with a terrifying light, as waves of killing intent gushed forth unabashedly. Looking at the smile on Qin Wentian's face, Orchon had a bad premonition. Qin Wentian really dared to make a move.
"Release him." Orchon's voice was filled with a terrifying coldness.
Looking at that cold countenance, Qin Wentian was exceptionally calm. "Even at this moment, you still haven't put down that arrogance of yours. Just like before, you stare at me with that gaze. Most probably, you don't care about his death at all."
As he spoke, Qin Wentian's fists shimmered with a brilliant light. At this moment, the hearts of the spectators all tensed up.
"If you make a move, I can guarantee that you won't become the third. Only the first will be your final resting place." Janus stared at Qin Wentian. The third person had become the Headmaster of the Emperor Star Academy, while the first person had been killed by the Emperor Star Academy.
"If I'm only the first, then in this vast Royal Capital, if I don't kill him, there will be no place for me to live." The smile on Qin Wentian's face remained unchanged. The first person meant that he didn't have much value to the Emperor Star Academy. If that was the case, how could he establish a foothold in the Royal Capital?
Lowering his head, Qin Wentian stared at Orfon.
Orfon stared back at him, and when he saw the look in Qin Wentian's eyes, Orfon felt true fear.
"Your life is in my hands, yet no one is willing to lower their heads for you. The person you should hate, isn't me." Qin Wentian calmly stated, causing Orfon's body to tremble. Qin Wentian's words were akin to an announcement of his death.
That's right, he had tried to take Qin Wentian's life several times, and Qin Wentian's desire to kill him was within his expectations. However, his elder brother, as well as Janus, none of them had lowered their heads to plead for him. This caused him to feel a wave of sorrow. He had once worshipped the arrogance of his elder brother. But at this moment, when this arrogance was used on Qin Wentian, it actually caused him, Orfon, to lose his life.
Qin Wentian raised his arm and punched out with the Dragon Subduing Fists. The roar of a dragon rang out as an azure dragon lunged towards Orfon's head.
"I hate it." Orfon let out an enraged roar of despair. After which, a thunderous boom rang out as his body exploded into pieces. Only that roar of unwillingness remained, reverberating through the air for a long time.
The entire space became even quieter, so much so that one could hear a pin drop.
Qin Wentian became the fourth person in the history of the Emperor Star Academy. The fourth person who dared to kill another student within the academy grounds.
Mustang, Luo Huan, and the rest felt their hearts pounding. Killed, Qin Wentian had killed Orfon on the spot.
The spectators below also drew in a deep breath. The Emperor Star Academy had produced two madmen.
Orchon's eyes flashed with an extreme coldness. He advanced towards Qin Wentian, as killing intent gushed forth from his body.
"Orchon." Janus called out, causing Orchon to halt his steps. He wanted nothing more than to pierce through Qin Wentian's head with his spear. However, Qin Wentian had already violated the greatest taboo of the Emperor Star Academy.
Orchon couldn't become the fifth person to do so. If not, although he had avenged Orfon, his own life would be in an extremely difficult position. For those who violated the ironclad rules of the Emperor Star Academy, the academy would never look at their background.
"Killing a fellow student in the ranking battle of the Emperor Star Academy? You are the first person who dared to challenge the prestige of the Emperor Star Academy." Janus stared at Qin Wentian, as though he was looking at a dead man.
"I, Janus, in the name of an Elder of the Emperor Star Academy, request permission from the Disciplinary Committee to kill Qin Wentian on the spot, in order to avenge his brother Orfon." Janus's voice was cold. At this moment, silhouettes after silhouettes leapt onto the training grounds. These people were all disciples of the Disciplinary Committee, and as they stepped onto the training grounds, they instantly dashed towards Qin Wentian.
Behind the crowd, a middle-aged man slowly walked up.
Thousand-Hands, the Disciplinary Elder of the Disciplinary Committee. He had the authority to make decisions within the Emperor Star Academy.
His gaze was emotionless as he glanced at Qin Wentian.
"During the Training Grounds of the Dark Forest, Orfon wanted to kill Qin Wentian several times. If not, the two of them wouldn't have come to the academy for revenge. I, Mustang, request for the Disciplinary Elder to be lenient with this punishment. As for Qin Wentian, I will personally accept him as my disciple." Mustang stepped forward, similarly stepping onto the training grounds.
Janus wanted Qin Wentian to die, while Mustang wanted to protect Qin Wentian.
"Elder Thousand-Hands, Mustang incited Qin Wentian to kill a fellow student, and now, he even dared to shield a murderer. I, Janus, request the Disciplinary Committee to convict Mustang of this crime." Janus took a step forward, opposing with equal harshness.
The seniors of the Emperor Star Academy all knew that Janus and Mustang had different standpoints, and were already like fire and water. Hence, they weren't surprised by the scene before them. But, how would the Disciplinary Committee handle this?
"Qin Wentian, you killed a fellow student during the ranking battle. Do you admit to this crime?" Thousand-Hands didn't bother with Janus and Mustang, only staring at Qin Wentian as he coldly asked.
The members of the Disciplinary Committee had already surrounded Qin Wentian.
Upon witnessing this scene, the hearts of the spectators trembled. It seemed like the Disciplinary Committee would not spare Qin Wentian.
"The matter of Orfon attempting to assassinate me in the Dark Forest, will the Disciplinary Committee pursue this matter?" Qin Wentian stared at Thousand-Hands as he asked.
"Nope." Thousand-Hands straightforwardly replied.
"The Disciplinary Committee will not pursue this matter. Of course I want to avenge myself. What crime is there in that?" Qin Wentian's voice was domineering.
"This fellow." Mountain, who was standing at the back, was dumbfounded. This Qin Wentian, how could he dare to talk back to the members of the Disciplinary Committee?
"I, Janus, once again request the Disciplinary Committee to allow Orchon to kill this brat personally, in order to avenge his brother." Janus spoke once more. Thousand-Hands was silent for a moment, before he waved his hands. Momentarily, the members of the Disciplinary Committee stepped aside, leaving space for Orchon and Qin Wentian.
"Elder Thousand-Hands, if the Disciplinary Committee agrees to Janus's request, I'm afraid that I will have to interfere." Mustang was extremely domineering as he took a step forward.
"Mustang, you dare to interfere with the Disciplinary Committee?" Janus coldly laughed as he walked towards Mustang. Orchon, on the other hand, emitted a murderous aura as he advanced towards Qin Wentian. Not only that, the disciples of Janus and Mustang, with Qin Wentian in the center, stood in the middle of the Martial Arena, facing off against each other.
This storm seemed to be getting more and more intense.
And at this moment, in the heart of the storm, above Qin Wentian's head, Astral Light abruptly flashed as his Astral Soul appeared. Looking at the color of the Astral Soul, one could tell that it originated from the 3rd Heavenly Layer.
This scene caused the eyes of Thousand-Hands to narrow. He wasn't acquainted with Qin Wentian, and thus, he didn't know that Qin Wentian's first Astral Soul originated from the 3rd Heavenly Layer.
"The 3rd Heavenly Layer? What kind of background does this person have? No wonder Mustang is so protective of him." Upon seeing Qin Wentian's Astral Soul, many in the crowd sighed in their hearts. This matter was getting more and more interesting. Most probably, the Emperor Star Academy wouldn't allow a genius whose first Astral Soul originated from the 3rd Heavenly Layer to perish.
An expression of contemplation could be seen in Thousand-Hands' eyes. This fellow was extremely prickly, but he did have the qualifications to be arrogant. He was considering how he should deal with Qin Wentian.
"Orchon, do it." Janus spoke in a low voice. Immediately, Orchon dashed towards Qin Wentian, while at the same time, Janus stood in front of Mustang, wanting to prevent Mustang from assisting Qin Wentian.
Mountain stepped out as he released his Astral Soul. His entire person was akin to a wall, blocking Qin Wentian's path. Punching out with his fist, it felt as though countless boulders were smashing towards Orchon.
"Scram!" Orchon roared in rage. Resplendent Astral Light radiated from his long spear, causing numerous pythons to frenziedly wreak havoc. Boulders unceasingly exploded as his long spear penetrated through everything.
Mountain's countenance sank as he was forced to retreat. Although Orchon was impudent, he was definitely a character amongst the students of the Emperor Star Academy.
Thousand-Hands, he was still observing from the sidelines.
At this moment, Qin Wentian was as calm as ever. Since he didn't want to be suppressed by the Ye and Ou Clan in the Royal Capital, he might as well prove his worth by standing on the arena of the Emperor Star Academy in front of everyone.
An even more resplendent Astral Light radiated forth. Beside the Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul, Qin Wentian released his 2nd Astral Soul, the Great Dream Astral Soul.
Thousand-Hands inclined his head as he gazed at the Astral Soul. In the next instant, his gaze froze.
The color of this Astral Soul was crimson gold. The Great Dream Astral Soul was enveloped within a crimson gold halo.
Thousand-Hands was a Yuanfu Realm cultivator, and was also the Disciplinary Elder of the Emperor Star Academy. However, he had never imagined that there would be a day where he would be able to witness a crimson Astral Soul in the body of a 16 year old youth.
But today, he had witnessed it.
Not only him, everyone else had witnessed it as well.
When the Great Dream Astral Soul with a crimson gold halo was released, all the fighting and killing seemed to have lost all meaning to its existence. The gazes of everyone were all focused on that Astral Soul.
Qin Wentian's countenance was as calm as ever, but the gazes in the eyes of the spectators were completely different.
This type of Astral Soul should be from the 4th Heavenly Layer, right?
His 1st Astral Soul was condensed from an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer, while his 2nd Astral Soul was condensed from an Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer.
Qin Wentian had made history in the history of the Emperor Star Academy, an unprecedented feat.
"Stop." In the skies above, a voice abruptly rang out, akin to the rumbling of thunder, jolting the spectators who were in a daze back to their senses.
The pupils of Thousand-Hands narrowed, as a look of reverence flashed in his eyes. After which, he commanded, "Everyone stop. Those who disobey will be punished by the Disciplinary Hall."
Everyone halted their battles in that instant. Their gazes were fixated on Qin Wentian, their countenances exceptionally fascinating. This was especially so for Janus and Orchon. The expressions on their faces could be said to be extremely rich to the extreme.
Silence, deathly silence. The young man who killed Orfon had become the focus of everyone's attention, becoming the main character of today's event.
