Wang Hongtu and the other Elders couldn't help but twitch their eyelids at this scene.
He prided himself on having seen countless Prodigies.
But compared to this Divine Son of the Jiang Clan, they weren't even fit to carry his shoes!
He couldn't help but feel admiration for the Old Ancestors of the Academy; they truly had foresight!
Such a terrifying Prodigy's future achievements would definitely not be inferior to Empress Hongye's!
“It seems our Cloud Top Academy has truly made the right bet this time; a great resurgence is within reach!”
He couldn't help but sigh repeatedly in his heart.
The stunning woman in the highest seat saw Jiang Ye's excellence, and a deep look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.
Listening to the exaggerated praise from the Elders, she raised an eyebrow and said, “My sister's son is naturally peerless. Do any of you still dare to have an opinion now?”
The one who spoke was Su Qingmeng.
The many Elders and Wang Hongtu cupped their hands in unison, respectfully saying, “We have absolutely no objections!”
Grand Elder Li Hongtai had already disappeared.
Their own Old Ancestors also showed no signs of movement; the overall situation was set, so they naturally dared not have any other ideas.
At this moment, Su Qingmeng spoke again, “Li Hongtai's disciple, that Lin Chen, must also be rooted out. You just need to cooperate with Ye'er's actions later.”
The Elders looked at each other.
Just a mere Lin Chen, even if he was the Academy's chief, would they, these old fellows, need to cooperate?
They couldn't figure out what Su Qingmeng was up to.
But they could only agree... 【Ding! Protagonist of Destiny Shen Lian was mercilessly beaten, his bones fractured all over, his Heart-Nature plummeted to rock bottom, and his Luck value decreased by 1000 points!】
【Congratulations to Master for +1000 Villain Points!】
【Ding! Protagonist of Destiny Chu Nan was stunned watching from below, feeling fear towards Master's strength and brutality, and his Luck value decreased by 300 points!】
【Congratulations to Master for +300 Villain Points!】
Listening to the System's continuous broadcasts, Jiang Ye's heart was filled with joy, and the baseball bat he wielded became even more ruthless.
Bang! Bang bang!!
“Ah ah! Ah ah ah!!”
“Please, stop hitting me...”
Shen Lian was covered in blood, sprawled on the ground, his head swollen like a pig's, filled with regret and remorse, begging repeatedly.
He had figured it out: Jiang Ye indeed had no intention of killing him.
Instead, he wanted to torture him! Humiliate him!
The expressions of the crowd below were all extremely complex, constantly changing.
They first had an attitude of watching a show and gossiping.
Then they were shocked by Jiang Ye's powerful cultivation and Divine Ability methods.
And then, Jiang Ye overwhelmingly crushed Shen Lian, taking that bat and brutally beating Shen Lian, his actions so brutal that they were horrifying.
Bang! Bang bang!!
Jiang Ye's continuous brutal beating.
Shen Lian's skin was torn and flesh lacerated, his entire body festering, and a pool of yellow liquid flowed out into the blood on the ground.
A foul stench emanated.
“Oh my god! Too brutal, poor Shen Lian, even his SL was beaten out.”
“Shhh! Shhh!”
Everyone was silent, the atmosphere dead.
Except for Shen Lian's screams, the entire scene was incredibly quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Guan Yunyao's red lips were slightly agape.
Where had she ever seen such an utterly brutal scene?
At the same time, she hadn't expected that the seemingly elegant and handsome Jiang Ye had such a brutal and terrifying side?
“Not speaking, but observing actions, can one then see his Dao?”
“Is this his Dao?”
“I don't understand...”
Guan Yunyao was somewhat confused, muttering to herself.
Ordinarily, Jiang Ye appeared gentle and refined, with extraordinary cultivation talent, unrivaled among his peers; but occasionally he was cynical, giving people a feeling of being unapproachable; now, his temperament had become exceptionally brutal, his actions extremely ruthless and terrifying.
Completely unfathomable.
“Which one is the real you?”
A great curiosity suddenly arose in her heart.
Jiang Ye saw that it was almost enough; if he didn't stop, Shen Lian would be beaten to death.
“Two final strikes, I'll make sure your balls are shattered!”
Bang! Bang!
The two strikes showed no mercy, and Shen Lian felt an incomparably intense pain in his lower body, almost passing out from the agony.
“Ah ah ah!!”
“My Kun Kun...”
Shen Lian was in excruciating pain, even crying out.
Only then did Jiang Ye stop.
He rested the baseball bat on his shoulder, squinted at Shen Lian on the ground, and said in a deep voice, “Kneel and kowtow three times, call me Grandpa, and I'll spare your dog life.”
Shen Lian's entire body was shattered, unable to even support his knees.
His fists were clenched, knuckles white, his face pained and conflicted, his eyes unfocused as he stared at the ground.
Anger and humiliation intertwined in his heart, his inner self struggling intensely.
As a Prodigy of Cloud Top Academy, even some chief disciples couldn't compare to him.
This made Shen Lian always look down on everything; how could he have imagined such a humiliating moment?
Within a single breath, countless venomous thoughts surged wildly.
“Jiang Ye! I want you dead, I definitely want you dead!”
“I must survive, I must have revenge, one day, I will repay today's humiliation a hundredfold!”
He paused for a moment, took out a Qi and Blood Pill from his Storage Ring, and swallowed it.
After his body recovered a little.
Shen Lian slowly propped himself up, knelt on the ground, hands pressed to the earth, head bowed, face ashen, his heart filled with extreme unwillingness.
“Grand... Grandpa.”
As soon as his voice fell, he began to kowtow, making dull thudding sounds.
Bang, bang, bang.
The surrounding crowd watched this scene, all feeling shocked, and even Guan Yunyao showed a complex expression.
Shen Lian, this once mighty Prodigy.
Now forced to bow his head, and so completely.
【Ding! Protagonist of Destiny Shen Lian had his balls shattered, knelt and kowtowed, calling out Grandpa, feeling incomparably stifled, his Dao Heart showing signs of shattering, and his Luck value decreased by 1500 points!】
【Congratulations to Master for +1500 Villain Points!】
Jiang Ye had a playful smile on his face; this Shen Lian's Heart-Nature was a bit better than the previous two Protagonists of Destiny.
He knew how to endure!
He slowly walked forward, picked up the bat, and smashed it twice more.
“What is your standing?”
“Do you even deserve to be my grandson?”
“Get out of my sight!”
“Don't let This Divine Son see you again, otherwise I'll beat you every time I do!”
【Ding! Protagonist of Destiny Shen Lian was so angry he spat blood, feeling incomparably humiliated, and his Luck value decreased by 500 points!】
【Congratulations to Master for +500 Villain Points!】
【Ding! Protagonist of Destiny Chu Nan was so scared he felt a chill down his crotch, and his Luck value decreased by 100 points!】
【Congratulations to Master for +100 Villain Points!】
...As Shen Lian, dragging his crippled body, awkwardly left the martial arts stage.
This farce finally came to an end.
This bloody scene.
Left many people with lingering fears, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.
Jiang Ye, however, was completely unfazed, and leisurely returned to the pavilion stands with Guan Yunyao and the two women.
He glanced at the System and immediately broke into a joyful smile.
After that series of actions, Shen Lian's Luck value was already only 2900; after two more rounds of 'harvesting', he should be able to reel him in.
He stretched, then crooked his finger, signaling Guan Yunyao.
Guan Yunyao's stunning face revealed a hint of helplessness.
She secretly blamed the other party for being shameless.
But for the sake of the Qingxin Dao Fruit, she could only slightly hesitate and slowly step forward, extending her jade hand to begin massaging him.
“Yunyao, don't you like peace and quiet?”
“Today I helped you drive Shen Lian away, so from now on you'll have your peace.”
Jiang Ye's face showed an expression of enjoyment as he casually brought up a topic.
Guan Yunyao sighed slightly and said, “Young Master, I don't quite understand. You don't seem like someone who would easily let a tiger return to the mountains. Aren't you afraid Shen Lian will seek revenge in the future?”
“Are you concerned about This Divine Son?”
“You...”
