Slap!!!

In an instant, a harsh slap landed on Lu Yunxiao's face.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Lu Yunxiao collapsed onto the ground, his situation pitiable.

Now a cripple without divine power to protect his body, he could only endure the pain silently, not daring to let out a cry.

If Ye Han were here, he would find it hard to believe that the once formidable Lu Yunxiao, now less than a pet dog, was being brutally beaten.

The arriving woman had a curvaceous figure, with long hair cascading down and a beautiful face, but her eyes held an innate arrogance and a deep disdain for both Lu Yunxiao and Xiao Chen.

"Please, ask senior sister Wang to plead on my behalf for an Elixir of Destruction from senior sister Yin!"

Lu Yunxiao spoke, looking at the woman before him with a fawning expression, showing no shame even after being slapped, instead taking it as a badge of honor.

"Worthless, get lost!"

Senior sister Wang glanced at Lu Yunxiao:

"The Elixir of Destruction, a Heaven Level superior elixir, how precious is that? You can't even handle a trivial matter properly, and you think you deserve senior sister Yin's intervention to obtain such an elixir for you?"

"But... but I was doing it for her," Lu Yunxiao said, his face a mix of confusion and pain.

"It's useless no matter how long you kneel here. Don't embarrass yourself. If you displease senior sister Yin, you'll bear the consequences." After saying this, senior sister Wang turned to look at Xiao Chen.

Lu Yunxiao was utterly hopeless, his spirit crushed, knowing his life was over.

After being crippled by Ye Han and beaten again by several people, he was barely clinging to life.

But from now on, he would be a cripple unable to cultivate, utterly ruined, all due to his own doing.

"Xiao Chen, speak."

Senior sister Wang looked at Xiao Chen: "You, a six-fold Divine Power Realm practitioner, have been beaten to this state. Could it be that there's someone else protecting Ye Han?"

"No!"

Xiao Chen's face was pale: "That Ye Han, he has mastered the Divine Power Explosion technique, and his strength is formidable. I'm no match for him."

"Worthless!"

Senior sister Wang spat out these two words decisively.

But her eyes then shone with a sharp light: "What did you say? Divine Power Explosion?"

"He... truly is the successor of the Human Path, and he has cultivated Divine Power Explosion to the twenty-eighth explosion," Xiao Chen said through clenched teeth, unwilling to accept this fact.

"Twenty-eighth explosion?"

Senior sister Wang's pupils contracted, and without paying any more attention to Xiao Chen and Lu Yunxiao, she turned and went back to the mountain behind her.

At the peak, within a majestic hall made of purple-gold stone.

Senior sister Wang hurried into the hall, addressing the figure on the central throne above: "Senior sister Yin, that Ye Han defeated Xiao Chen by using Divine Power Explosion, and he has reached the twenty-eighth explosion."

"Does that mean he is the chosen successor of the Human Path master of this era?" Another female figure spoke from the throne.

This woman was shrouded in a fiery red mist, ethereal like smoke, her face indistinct and very mysterious.

Senior sister Yin, Yin Tianxiu!@@novelbin@@

The unparalleled genius ranked first on the Inner Sect's Yin Yang List!

"Yes!"

Senior sister Wang nodded.

The woman above snorted coldly: "The Academy's Six Paths, the Human Path has been declining for years, already fallen. Although the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Record is a Heaven Level technique, no one has been able to master it."

"I thought Xiao Chen had the potential to join the Human Path, to be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Feng Wuliang in the future, to secure a Child of Reincarnation status for me. But it turns out Xiao Chen is nothing but trash."

The hall fell silent, senior sister Wang, who was so dominant in front of Xiao Chen and Lu Yunxiao, didn't dare to breathe too loudly in front of Yin Tianxiu.

After a while, senior sister Wang suddenly made a throat-slitting gesture: "What if we...?"

"Shut up!"

Yin Tianxiu's voice was sharp: "The Academy's grand meeting will begin in three months, and after the meeting, the competition among the Six Paths is imminent. The Human Path master is desperate, hastily appointing a successor."

"But the Human Path master is thinking too simply. This time, Feng Wuliang has gone to the Red Dragon Realm to awaken the Dragon-Human Body. Given his way of doing things, since he has set out, he will surely succeed. Once Feng Wuliang returns, the trend will be irreversible, and the Human Path master will ultimately have to bow down."

Hearing what Yin Tianxiu said, the senior sister Wang below was shocked: "The Dragon-Human Body? How is that possible?"

"Feng Wuliang is the reincarnation of an ancient god, a being destined by heaven, beyond our imagination. Whatever he wants to do, no one can stop him, and there is no failure."

Yin Tianxiu's gaze flickered as she continued: "As for Ye Han, he's just a minor character with a mere two-fold Divine Power Realm, insignificant. Not only must he not be killed, but he must also be well protected."

"Protected?"

Senior sister Wang was puzzled.

"He is Mo Qingrou's disciple. Whether we can obtain the half-piece of Nine Yang Fire Jade in Mo Qingrou's hands, Ye Han is the key."

"A few days ago, the demon tide erupted in Demon Ridge, and Luo Tianzheng took Ye Zhixuan into it to obtain a ninth-rank Monster Beast King's core and blood essence. But on the way back, it was snatched by Ye Han. There's a deep-seated hatred between them, and Luo Tianzheng has been in seclusion these past few days to break through his realm and become an Inner Disciple."

"Once he comes out, Ye Han's death is certain, and we certainly can't allow such a scene to occur."

Yin Tianxiu spoke calmly, her words and demeanor exuding a sense of calculation, as if she could orchestrate everything and calculate it all in her heart.

While these two women were discussing their plans, at the peak of Bamboo Melody Peak, in a training ground, Ye Han, Mo Qingrou, and Elder Gu Yunzhu gathered.

In the training ground, Ye Han continuously threw punches!

Each punch was fierce and powerful, his blood boiling, creating bursts of sonic booms.

"Good, Ye Han, it seems you've mastered the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Fist," Mo Qingrou said.

"Back in Flame City, you were really buried. Your talent is not inferior to anyone here in Cycle Academy."

"Not at all, it was only in Demon Ridge, amidst life and death, that I had a breakthrough."

Ye Han smiled wryly and shook his head, knowing that his teacher Mo Qingrou was trying to comfort him.

Cycle Academy was full of geniuses, and Ye Han was gradually realizing this.

He wasn't even a match for outstanding Outer Sect disciples like Luo Tianzheng, let alone the countless formidable Inner Disciples and the mysterious True Disciples.

Mo Qingrou didn't say much more but handed a book to Ye Han.

"Soul-Shattering Thunderous Voice!"

Ye Han muttered the title of the book, curiously looking at Mo Qingrou.

"Soul-Shattering Thunderous Voice, an unrated martial skill!"

Mo Qingrou smiled at him: "I had you practice the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Fist as a foundation for this. Soul-Shattering Thunderous Voice relies on a breath that reaches the heavens, killing with sound waves. A single shout is like thunder, directly shattering the opponent's will to fight, even their soul."

"What does unrated mean?" Ye Han was extremely curious.

"Unrated means that the upper limit of this martial skill is incredibly high. As long as your foundation is strong enough and your breath powerful enough, the might of this martial skill can be infinitely enhanced. Conversely, if your foundation is weak, even if you master Soul-Shattering Thunderous Voice, it will be in vain, with no lethality," Mo Qingrou explained.

"I understand!"

Ye Han put away the Soul-Shattering Thunderous Voice.

Then he asked, "Teacher, I came to see you for another reason, about that Yin Tianxiu."

Just as Ye Han was about to continue, suddenly, he felt Bamboo Melody Peak shake violently.

Elder Gu Yunzhu's expression changed slightly, she closed her eyes as if sensing something.

After a moment, Gu Yunzhu looked at Ye Han: "Your big trouble seems to have arrived!"
