    Zi Yuan’s face darkened. David’s sword had just been so swift that she couldn’t even stop it.

    The surrounding Divine n students, already pale with fear, were now silent and instinctively shrank back. They

    had grown up in the Divine Kingdom and were ustomed to witnessing sparring between fellow cultivators, but they had never witnessed such brutality. Without a word or hesitation, with a single strike, he severed the arm of a seventh-rank cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

    The coldly gleaming Dragon ying Sword looked ordinary, but the moment it swung, they hadn’t seen David’s movements clearly. They only felt a sh of silver light before their eyes, followed by a stter of blood.

    A First-Rank Earth Immortal easily severing the arm of a Seventh-Rank Earth Immortal—if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.

    Zi Yuan’s pupils shrank sharply. She had always believed David was a pawn pushed by a backing force, a lowly cultivator who only dared to escort the princess back thanks to the support of others.

    But the scene just nowpletely overturned her perception. A First-Rank Earth Immortal severing the arm of a Seventh-Rank Earth Immortal—this wasn’t just luck or a powerful weapon.

    The control of spiritual energy, the precise timing, and the absolutemand of the situation in that sword swing were simply beyond the reach of an ordinary First-Rank Earth Immortal cultivator.

    “We agreed not to seek retribution. Do you Protoss cultivators talk like you’re talking nonsense?”

    David slowly retracted the Dragon ying Sword. The blood on the de flowed along the de’s veins like a living thing, instantly returning to its original brilliance.

    And these words made everyone present blush!

    They had just heard David and Wei Feng agree that even if they were injured, no retribution would be sought.

    Now Wei Feng is actually using his own identity to pressure others, which is obviously ack of credibility.

    .David nced over the Divine n students present

    . Wherever his gaze fell, all the students subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

    The young men, whose faces were filled with disdain just moments ago, now felt his gaze as piercing as ice, as if one more nce would lead to the same fate as Wei Feng.

    “We, the cultivators of the Divine Kingdom, believe in ‘convincing others with reason.’ How dare you hurt others so easily?”

    A middle-aged cultivator in a cyan Confucian robe stepped forward from the crowd. He was an instructor at the academy, with a cultivation level of the eighth rank in the Earthly Immortal Realm. His face was sullen.

    “Fellow Daoist Chen, this is the Divine Kingdom Academy, not the ce for you to act recklessly! Why don’t you apologize immediately? Come with me to see the Lord Weiwei and exin this matter clearly!” the middle-aged cultivator demanded.

    “Convince him with reason?”

    David scoffed, his eyes filled with mockery. “Just now, your student, relying on his advanced realm, humiliated me in every possible way, calling me ‘a barbarian without education,’ and saying I was ‘unworthy of entering the academy as a first-grade Earth Immortal.’ Why didn’t youe out and ‘convince him with reason?’ Now he’s been injured after failing to attack, and you’re the one who’s trying to enforce the rules?”

    He stepped forward, and an invisible pressure suddenly dissipated. The instructor was forced back half a step, horrified.

    This aura was clearly that of a first-grade Earth Immortal, yet it carried an overwhelming dominance, as if facing not a low-level cultivator, but a powerful and long-standing one.

    “Doesn’t the Kingdom of God advocate ‘cultivating both the inner and the outer’?”

    David’s voice was low, but it reached everyone clearly. “Didn’t your books teach ‘Do not do to others what you do not want done to you’? Didn’t they teach ‘Do not bully others’? Or is it that the ‘etiquette’ of your Kingdom of God is only for those weaker than you?”

    The instructor was speechless. He opened his mouth, but couldn’t find a rebuttal.

    He had indeed been present when Wei Feng had provoked him, and he even felt that David, a human cultivator, deserved a lesson for daring to be so presumptuous in the Kingdom of God’s academy. But now that David had used their own “etiquette” to challenge him, he waspletely speechless.
