The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 46 Punch a Hill!

In the Canglan Hall, Canglan College.

Inside the hall, everybody sat around the table. From time to time, Ye Xuan and his sister would bring a dish to the table. Each dish was not very delicate, but all of those dishes smelled really delicious and gave them an appetite.

On the side, Ji Anzhi licked the chopsticks. She tried to move her chopsticks several times, but she was stopped by the looks from Mr. Ji, Bai Ze and Mo Yunqi.

If they let this woman move her chopsticks now, they could not even get a bone to chew.

After a while, the dishes were finally ready.

Twelve dishes!

Meat and vegetarian dishes!

Ye Ling sweetly gave everyone a bowl of rice, and then sat down beside Ye Xuan meekly.

Mr. Ji took a sip of his wine and said, “You were too impulsive today.”

Everyone was silent.

Ye Xuan thought for a while and said, “They were going to bully us!”

Mr. Ji said, “You could endure it for a while!”

Ye Xuan asked, “If I endured, would they let us go?”

After he said that, he shook his head. “No, they wouldn’t. The more we endure, the more vicious they will become. I had come across some fierce and violent people when I was in Qing City. The weaker I was, the more they would bully me. You had to fight with them until they were hurt. Then they would respect you and dare not bully you easily.”

Mr. Ji fell silent.

Mo Yunqi fell silent.

Ji Anzhi was busy eating.

At this time, Bai Ze suddenly said, “He is right. I often fought with monsters when I was in Mang Mountain. When you run into monsters, you mustn’t run. Because the faster you run, the fiercer it will become and the more likely it will come to attack you. You only have to fight with it until it is scared. So the next time it sees you, it won’t easily pick a fight, or it may even retreat.”

After he finished, he lifted his wine glass next to his rice bowl and proposed a toast to Ye Xuan. “Well done!”

Ye Xuan also picked up his wine glass. He glanced at Mo Yunqi next to him. The latter thought about it, and also picked up his glass. Three of them looked at each other and then drained the glass with one gulp!

They were strangers once, but now they had a common identity, that is, the student from Canglan College!

Mr. Ji didn’t say anything further and he began to eat.

The few people around were like starving ghosts. In less than a quarter, the food on the table had been swept away.

After eating, Mr. Ji plied himself with a suck of wine, and then he said, “Come to the back mountain at midnight tonight.”

After that, he turned and left.

Ji Anzhi put down the chopsticks and glanced at Ye Xuan. “Can you cook more?”

Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched slightly. He pointed to the side. “We saved you some in the kitchen.”

Ji Anzhi nodded. “Thank you!”

With that, she immediately took her chopsticks and turned to walk away.

Ye Ling cleared away the bowls and chopsticks left on the table docilely. But Bai Ze and Mo Yunqi snuck right away after they finished eating... Something like washing the dishes would actually kill them!

Seeing the two run away, Ye Ling covered her small mouth and smiled.

Ye Xuan felt helpless. He helped clean up and said, “Let’s go, I will help you do the dishes!”

When Ye Ling was about to speak, there suddenly came a sound outside the hall.

Ye Xuan turned around. Outside the hall appeared a wheelchair, and a woman wearing a black dress sat in it.

“Let’s have a chat?” the woman in the black dress suddenly said.

Ye Xuan pointed to himself. “Me?”

The woman in the black dress nodded.

Ye Ling smiled at Ye Xuan sweetly. “Brother, just go! I will tide up.”

Ye Xuan tenderly rubbed the small head of Ye Ling. “Be careful!”

Ye Ling nodded and walked to the side with the bowls and chopsticks.

Ye Xuan went up to the woman in the black dress. “What’s the matter?”

The woman in the black dress stretched out her right hand, and a golden medal flew from her palm center to Ye Xuan.

“What’s this?” Ye Xuan asked in some perplexity.

The woman in the black dress said, “At the King’s command, you are now a National Warrior!”

A National Warrior!

Ye Xuan froze.

After a while, Ye Xuan shook his head and returned the medal. “I didn’t do anything to deserve this.”

But the woman in the black dress did not take it. She explained, “In Frontier City, it was you who stood out to resist the army from Tang Country.”

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “Is that all?”

The black-dressed woman made no reply.

Ye Xuan sat before the stone steps on one side. “That was a long time ago, but you didn’t make me the National Warrior until now... With all due respect, do you have any other purposes?”

The black-dressed woman remained silent.

Ye Xuan said again, “Now I joined Canglan College and scuffled with Cangmu College... Let me guess, if I guess correctly, the royal families intend to break the dominance of Cangmu College. Because the bigger and stronger Cangmu College has become, it will be even worse for the Royal Household and the imperial power. And now, seeing that Canglan College seems to have the ability to confront Cangmu College, you want to help Canglan College and make the two colleges fight with each other. Am I right?”

The black-dressed woman put her hands on legs with her fingers interlaced. “You are much smarter than I thought.”

Ye Xuan looked straight at the black-dressed woman. “I don’t want to be manipulated by people!”

The woman in the black dress shook her head. “The moment when you joined Canglan College, you are doomed to be burdened with the hatred left between Canglan College and Cangmu College. There is no right or wrong in the feud, only a matter of standpoint. As you have just said, the man in charge of Jiang Country truly hopes that there will be some people who can check and balance Cangmu College. Though, it is not the real reason that he made you a National Warrior.”

Ye Xuan walked up to the black-dressed woman and asked, “Then, what is the real reason?”

The woman in the black dress looked up, but she still didn’t open her eyes. “There is a person. He dared to confront thousands of Black-Armored Cavalries from Tang Country alone outside Frontier City.”

Ye Xuan was silent.

The black-dressed woman suddenly grabbed Ye Xuan’s right hand and placed the golden medal in his palm. “No matter it’s Canglan College or Cangmu College, as a matter of fact, all people from the two colleges are from Jiang Country. It’s a pity that many people have forgotten this. Only competent people who put their country in the heart and take their country as their first priority can be called National Warriors. You can live up to this title. This title will not put limits on you. Instead, you can get help from the state in all parts of the country in the future.”

After that, a mysterious person appeared behind the woman. The person pushed the black-dressed woman away.

Just when the mysterious person and the women in the black dress went down the mountain, they stopped because not far from them lay a drunken old man.

The woman in the black dress bowed slightly. “Mr. Ji.”

Mr. Ji still did not speak.

The woman in the black dress added, “Although the King has the intention to use him, he means no harm.”

Mr. Ji rolled over. “The news that he has become National Warrior mustn’t get out. He now cannot bear too much attention.”

The woman in the black dress slightly bent over and said, “Got it. Thank you!”

After that, the mysterious person pushed the black-dressed woman away.

Mr. Ji was already sound asleep.

Around 12 o’clock at midnight.

Ye Xuan, Bai Ze, and Mo Yunqi arrived at the back mountain. There was a waterfall in the back mountain, about thirty meters wide, the water of which flowed very rapidly.

However, at this point, Mr. Ji and Ji Anzhi had already waited here.

Mo Yunqi grinned. “Mr. Ji, will you impart some peerless Martial Art Skills to us?”

At this time, Mr. Ji blew a whistle. The next moment, a perfectly black fierce wolf suddenly ran out from the distant forest.

The wolf was tens of meters tall, the hair of its whole body was like sharp swords, and it had a pair of chilling and fierce eyes!

“An Evil Wolf!”

Bai Ze looked very alert. “In the Ascending Realm!”

The old man pointed to Mo Yunqi, who was a little stunned and asked, “Mr. Ji, what do you mean?”

While he was asking, the Evil Wolf dashed right to Mo Yunqi. Its speed was so fast that even Ye Xuan could only see its ghost image...

“Damn... Mr. Ji, are you crazy?!”

Mo Yunqi immediately turned to run. He was very fast too, at the same speed with the Evil Wolf. However, in terms of physical strength, Mo Yunqi was certainly not comparable to the monster.

At this moment, Mr. Ji looked to Bai Ze abruptly. Bai Ze expanded his chest, and there was no fear in his eyes. He was not at all afraid of monsters! When he was in Mang Mountain, he fought with monsters every day!

Mr. Ji unexpectedly grabbed Bai Ze, and Bai Ze subconsciously wanted to resist. But when he exerted himself, he was shocked to find that he couldn’t put forth even the slightest strength of him!

In the Ye Xuan’s astonished eyes, Mr. Ji put an iron chain as thick as an arm in diameter on Bai Ze’s feet. He lifted Bai Ze and threw him to the waterfall in the distance, and the whole body of Bai Ze was directly knocked into the waterfall.

Meanwhile, there appeared another Evil Wolf. It jumped beside the waterfall, grabbed a chain on the mountainside, and then pulled it down hard.

In the waterfall, Bai Ze went against the current along the waterfall. The powerful current instantly washed his upper body and left red streaks on it... At first, everything was alright, but after this process repeated two or three times, a mourning voice of Bai Ze came from the waterfall.

Not to mention Bai Ze, even Ye Xuan’s scalp was a bit numb at the sight. His physical body was also strong enough, but those currents were too urgent, plus he went upstream, so the water streams became even more horrible than blades!

At this point, Mr. Ji looked toward Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan’s eyelids jumped instantly and he thought to himself, “The training way of this guy is a bit abnormal!”

The old man looked at Ye Xuan and then shook his head. “In terms of foundation, you are better than anyone else except National Warrior An in the whole Imperial Capital.”

Ye Xuan smiled embarrassedly and said, “It’s just okay, not that good!”

Mr. Ji fell silent. He seemed somewhat at a loss because this guy in front of him had a really good foundation. And the realm couldn’t get improved by force.

After a moment of hesitation, Mr. Ji suddenly asked, “Did you comprehend the Conceptual Battle Skill?”

Ye Xuan nodded.

Mr. Ji nodded. “Then, that makes everything just fine.”

After he said that, he walked to the side. “Follow me!”

Ye Xuan hurriedly followed up, and Ji Anzhi also followed closely.

Soon, under the leadership of Mr. Ji, Ye Xuan came down a hill. It was a hill not particularly large, nor very small. Anyway, it was at least ten times larger than Canglan Hall.

The old man pointed to the hill in front of him. “Which punch you do the best?”

Ye Xuan said, “Punch Collapse! It’s just a low-level Martial Art Skill.”

The old man pointed to the hill before them. “Use your Punch Collapse to hit the hill, hit it hard until the hill is broken.”

Ye Xuan was petrified there.

“Is there any problem?” asked Mr. Ji.

Ye Xuan’s throat tightened. Then he pointed to the hill. “Mr. Ji... You... Are you drunk tonight? Or, can we talk about the cultivation tomorrow?”

The old man looked at Ye Xuan for a long long time, and finally, he turned around and said, “Leave with your sister!”

After he said that, he walked to the distance.

“Fine, I’ll do it!”

Then Ye Xuan said all of a sudden, “I am to hit the hill right away!”

After that, he rushed to the hill in the distance...

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

After a while, Ye Xuan’s hands became bloody piles of flesh.
