Just like that, Qin Wentian left in a dignified manner, rushing into the territory of the Knight's Association and killing the number one student, Murong Feng.
The members of the Greencloud Association began to retreat, only to see Luo Huan speaking to Orchon, "There's no need for me to say anything more about the outcome of this battle. Where's the wager of the Knight's Association?"
"Wager?" Orchon's countenance was ice cold. "Qin Wentian has killed his fellow students multiple times. If the Emperor Star Academy doesn't punish him, where would the prestige of the Disciplinary Board go?"
"I still remember that before the battle started, Murong Feng and Du Hao had already expressed their stance. If they died in battle, it would be because of their incompetence, and there was no need for the academy to pursue the matter. I'm sure that all the students and Elders of the Emperor Star Academy who were present heard this. Luo Huan laughed as she continued, "Naturally, if the Knight's Association wants to renege on their debt, our Greencloud Association would have nothing to say. However, the lesson this time around was truly satisfying."
After speaking, Luo Huan led the members of the Greencloud Association away, her heart filled with worry. That little fellow was truly crazy. This time around, the one he killed was a genius. Who knew if the higher-ups of the Emperor Star Academy would be infuriated by this?
Qin Wentian didn't think too much about it. He was only a 16 year old youth, and when he saw his own brother suffering such a heavy injury in order to save him, he had already lost his rationality. His only goal was to kill Murong Feng. Very obviously, he had accomplished it.
After which, Qin Wentian handed Fan Le over to Mustang. Murong Feng's punch was extremely ferocious, and although Fan Le had blocked a portion of the force, he had still suffered heavy injuries.
Qin Wentian followed Mustang to his residence. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the training grounds. The terrifying energy within his body felt as though it wanted to devour all of his internal organs, causing his entire body to turn bright red. The energy was simply too tyrannical, and his body was currently unable to withstand it. Qin Wentian had no choice but to follow Mustang to his residence.
"Before breaking through to Yuanfu, you are not allowed to use acupuncture." Qin Wentian recalled Uncle Black's words. He only felt a burning sensation in his throat as he coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. With a groan of misery, Qin Wentian fainted.
Although Qin Wentian had fainted, the storm had not yet subsided. It was still brewing, and even Thousand-Hands was under immense pressure. He had no choice but to look for Mustang and bring Qin Wentian away.
Two days later, when Qin Wentian woke up, he felt pain all over his body as if it was about to fall apart.
Sitting up, he saw Mustang standing there with his back facing him.
"Teacher." Qin Wentian called out. Mustang turned his head as a smile appeared on his face. "You've finally awoken. It's best if you don't use that secret art again in the future. Your body isn't able to withstand it, and if it weren't for the fact that you managed to suppress it with medicinal pills in time, I'm afraid you would have been in grave danger."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. "Thank you, Teacher. How is Fan Le?"
"Nothing serious happened to him." Mustang shook his head. "You should worry more about yourself. Janus's faction has exerted quite a bit of pressure on the Academy. Currently, there are two different voices in the Academy, and there are many who wish to punish you."
Upon hearing that Fan Le was fine, a smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face. As for the punishment from the academy, he didn't really care about it.
Seeing the smile on Qin Wentian's face, Mustang rolled his eyes. "Aren't you worried at all?"
"It's useless even if I'm worried. Since I've already done it, I'll admit it. Whatever happens next, I can only face it head-on." Qin Wentian shrugged his shoulders.
"What a good 'admit it', I hope you can bear the consequences'." At this moment, a cold voice drifted over. After which, Qin Wentian saw several people walking in.
Only now did Qin Wentian survey his surroundings. This place was the Disciplinary Hall of the Disciplinary Hall. It was extremely spacious, and there were many seats on both sides of the hall. The main seat was for the Disciplinary Elder, but at this moment, there was no one there.
Very quickly, quite a number of people arrived. Qin Wentian's sharp senses discovered that these people were divided into three camps. Janus was in one camp, Mustang and the other Disciplinary Elders were in another camp, and Thousand-Hands and the other two Disciplinary Elders were in another camp.
Evidently, Janus and the others were pressuring the academy for this matter.
"Killing fellow disciples twice, and both of them were geniuses of this year's batch. Not only that, Du Hao was heavily injured. Qin Wentian's character isn't righteous. Either he's crippled, or he's expelled from the academy. If not, he will only become a scourge in the future." Janus coldly stated, wanting to push Qin Wentian into a corner.
"The first time, we've already investigated. Orfon wanted to harm Qin Wentian and Du Hao in the Dark Forest. Since Qin Wentian had done so, what crime is he guilty of? The second time, during a fair duel, Murong Feng and Du Hao consumed medicinal pellets to increase their combat prowess. If they only wanted to obtain victory, that would be fine. But from Qin Wentian's injuries, it's clear that their goal was to kill Fan Le and Qin Wentian. What crime is Qin Wentian's actions?"
Mustang stared at Janus as he refuted.
"He didn't respect the elders of the academy, and even threatened them with words. What's the point of teaching such a scoundrel?" Janus coldly retorted.
"You taught me?" Qin Wentian laughed as he looked at Janus, causing Janus's countenance to stiffen.
"Am I very familiar with you?" Qin Wentian continued, "You allowed your disciple to kill me, and even used all sorts of methods to get the academy to punish me. And now, you still have the cheek to ask me to respect you? Your skin is really thick."
Just like what Qin Wentian had said, since Janus had plotted so much to deal with him, there was no need for him to be polite with him.
"Elder Thousand-Hands, listen to this yourself." Janus coldly snorted.
Thousand-Hands and the other two turned their gazes onto Qin Wentian. After which, the elder standing beside Thousand-Hands asked, "If your strength was stronger than Janus, would you have killed him when he obstructed you from killing Murong Feng?"
"I would." Qin Wentian replied without any hesitation, causing Janus's countenance to turn extremely ugly to behold.
"Why?" That elder asked again.
"Murong Feng injured my brother. Whoever obstructs me will be my enemy." A resolute expression could be seen on the face of the youth.
That elder nodded his head, before turning his gaze to Thousand-Hands.
Thousand-Hands swept a glance at the crowd before saying, "Leave, the disciplinary committee will handle this matter."
"What does the disciplinary committee intend to do?" Janus inquired.
"This is a matter for the disciplinary committee to handle, please leave." Thousand-Hands' words caused Janus to furrow his brows. From Thousand-Hands' tone, it was highly possible that he wouldn't do anything to Qin Wentian.
"I hope that the disciplinary committee can give us an explanation." Janus flicked his sleeves and left, appearing extremely displeased.
Mustang patted Qin Wentian on his shoulder as he left as well. He believed that the disciplinary committee wouldn't do anything to Qin Wentian. At the very least, a genius like him wouldn't be expelled from the academy.
After they left, Thousand-Hands spoke to Qin Wentian, "Follow me."
As he spoke, he slowly walked out of the disciplinary hall. Qin Wentian could only follow behind, not asking any questions.
After exiting, Qin Wentian discovered that the back of the disciplinary hall was against a mountain. Thousand-Hands actually led him up the mountain, arriving at a courtyard at the waist of the mountain. This courtyard was actually built on the edge of a precipice, and standing at the edge of the precipice, one could overlook the entire Emperor Star Academy.
At this moment, there was a silhouette with his hands clasped behind his back, staring down at the Emperor Star Academy.
"I've brought him here." Thousand-Hands gazed at the back of the silhouette, as traces of respect could be seen in his eyes.
"Little fellow, come here." That person's back was still facing Qin Wentian as he calmly spoke.
Qin Wentian glanced at Thousand-Hands, only to see him laughing, "Little fellow, your luck isn't bad."
After speaking, Thousand-Hands turned and left. His mission was to send Qin Wentian here.
Qin Wentian walked towards the edge of the precipice, arriving at the side of the silhouette. Only then did the silhouette turn and look at Qin Wentian.
This silhouette was an old man. He looked calm and peaceful, with a few strands of white hair on both sides of his temples. His eyes were immeasurably deep, as though he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
At this moment, a hint of a smile could be seen flickering in his eyes.
"I like people who don't abide by the rules. You suit my personality very well." That silhouette laughed as he continued, "My name is Ren Qianxing. You might not have heard of my name before, but you should have heard of my deeds. Because, I once did the same thing as you."
"What did you do?" A puzzled expression appeared on Qin Wentian's face.
"Killing a fellow disciple." Ren Qianxing laughed as he continued, "That was something that happened many years ago. I still remember when I was young, I entered the dreamscape of the Dreamsky Forest and discovered a lecherous fellow. He raped a female student in the Dreamsky Forest, causing her to have a mental breakdown after she woke up. In a fit of rage, I killed that person."
Qin Wentian's countenance trembled as a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. Humiliating someone in the dreamscape of the Dreamsky Forest? How vicious.
"In that case, Senior was one of the three people who killed that person. Since you killed someone because of that, the academy has no reason to punish Senior, right?" Qin Wentian asked.
Ren Qianxing shook his head, "I'm not like you. Back then, my talent was mediocre, and the person I killed had a higher talent than me. In this world, what others see is not fairness and justice. Not only that, the Emperor Star Academy has its own rules. In the Dreamsky Forest, you can do anything you want. Even killing someone is a common occurrence."
