    Zi Yuan took a deep breath and quickly stepped forward, cing herself between David and his instructor. She tried to maintainposure, but the turmoil in her eyes was unmistakable.

    “Fellow Daoist Chen, it’s true that our Divine Kingdom student was at fault in this matter, but amputating someone’s arm in public is rather extreme.

    The Guardian holds a high position in the Divine Kingdom, and if this matter bes public, it won’t benefit you.

    Why don’t we have the academy’s physician treat this student’s injuries first? I’ll report any further matters to the King and handle them appropriately. How’s that?”

    She no longer dared to treat David as a mere pawn.

    A cultivator who could crush a seventh-grade Earth Immortal with his first-grade Earth Immortal Realm and eloquently expose the hypocritical etiquette of the Divine Kingdom, even if he truly had power behind him, was undoubtedly the central figure.

    This kind of person must not be offended, at least not before understanding his motives.

    David nced at Zi Yuan but didn’t respond. Instead, he looked at Wei Feng, who was clutching his wound, his face pale. He said calmly, “You just called me useless? Now it seems you’re the real loser, unworthy of my full strength.”

    “You!”

    Wei Feng trembled with anger, but he dared not move forward. He could only re at David with gritted teeth. “My father won’t let you go! Just wait!”

    “I’ll wait,”

    David said calmly, as if the threat had fallen on deaf ears. “But if you dare to speak so arrogantly again, it won’t be as simple as cutting off an arm.”

    With that, he turned and walked towards the entrance of the academy, ignoring the others present.

    His figure stood tall and proud. Though he was only a first-level Earth Immortal, he made all the divine cultivators present feel as if he was the master of this world, and no one dared to stop him.

    Zi Yuan watched David’s back, feeling a mixture of emotions.

    She had originally hoped to use her visit to the Divine Capital to gradually uncover the forces behind David, but it now appeared that not only had she found no leads, but David had instead severely pped the Divine Kingdom in the face.

    First, he crushed them in knowledge, then used force to intimidate them, and finally, he shattered the Divine Kingdom’s facade of “noble etiquette.

    ” “What are you still standing there for? Take him to heal!”

    Zi Yuan red back at the gathered students and instructors, lowering her voice. “This matter must not be spread. If the King knew of this happening at the academy, none of you would be able to bear the consequences!”

    Everyone quicklyplied, and hurriedly carried Wei Feng to heal his wounds.

    Zi Yuan hurried after David. By the time she reached his side, her tone was no longer scrutinizing, but now more serious. “Fellow Daoist Chen, weren’t you too hasty just now?

    The Guardian is a key official close to the king, in charge of the Divine Capital’s defense. If he were to pursue this, even with me here, I wouldn’t be able to protect you.”

    “Protect me?”

    David tilted his head and nced at Zi Yuan, a hint of a smile in his eyes. “Miss Zi, do you think I need protection?”

    Zi Yuan choked, unable to speak.

    The moment David swung his sword, she had clearly sensed the murderous aura emanating from it, a murderous aura not possessed by ordinary cultivators.

    This murderous aura, honed through countless life-and-death battles, was far more potent than those cultivators of the Divine Kingdom who cultivated in a greenhouse.

    As the two walked side by side through the streets of the Divine Capital, the Divine n cultivators instinctively avoided David, for he exuded a subtle killing intent.

    “Miss Zi, is this the kind of student your Divine Kingdom’s academy cultivates who ‘cultivate both inner and outer qualities’?” David suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. “They rely on their advanced realm to look down on others, and use their family background as a threat when they lose. Is this what you call ‘nobility’?”

    Zi Yuan’s expression turned grim, but she forced herself to maintain her pride and said, “Fellow Daoist Chen, the mistakes of individual students don’t represent the entire Divine Kingdom. The Divine Kingdom has been passed down for thousands of years, and it emphasizes ‘propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, and trustworthiness.’ It’s just that some young people are still immature, and they can inevitably be a bit arrogant.”
