"What an arrogant brat! Do you think you can disrespect your elders just because you have won the championship?
Today, I will teach you a lesson. Let's see if you can leave the inheritance behind! "Yang Fenglin shouted angrily as he bypassed Situ Qing and slammed his palm towards Yao Yue.
Yang Fenglin had used 70% of his strength in this attack. He felt that it was enough to deal with a junior like Yao Yue.
However, before his fire palm could touch Yao Yue, Yao Yue casually waved his arm and dispersed the fire origin energy of the palm.
"Elder Yang, you think too highly of yourself if you think you can hurt me with this little bit of strength!" Yao Yue said disdainfully.
When Yang Fenglin heard this, he felt his face burning uncomfortably!
He was one of the Ten Great Elders. Although he was ranked last, he was still a late-stage mid-grade Yuan Monarch. His combat strength was not to be underestimated. Now that he was being looked down upon by Yao Yue, he could not tolerate it any longer!
"Very well, you have angered me. I will let you see if I can hurt you!"
Yang Fenglin replied faintly as he flipped his palms. Numerous fire palms flew towards Yao Yue.
Every fire palm was formed and burned like a wall of fire, surrounding Yao Yue and making it difficult for him to escape.
The power of each fire palm was 90% of Yang Fenglin's strength. It was enough to defeat an ordinary mid-grade Yuan Monarch.
"Yao Yue, be careful!" Situ Qing could not help but shout at Yao Yue.
However, her worries were completely unnecessary!
Yao Yue sneered as he casually punched out with both his fists. The fire palms dissipated immediately and did not even touch the corner of his clothes!
"That's not the case!" Yao Yue said disdainfully.
Yang Fenglin was so angry that he finally pulled out his Spear of Rathalos and stabbed it towards Yao Yue.
Fire Dragon Overturning the Sky!
Yang Fengtian's Fire Spear Radiance was like a Fire Dragon as it roared and pounced at Yao Yue.
This was a true king-level skill, and when Yang Fenglin used it, its power was incomparably terrifying.
Some of the ordinary elders in the surroundings could sense that this power was not something they could withstand. They rejoiced inwardly, How dare you provoke Elder Yang? You must be tired of living!
However, in the next moment, their expressions became extremely exaggerated. Their eyes seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets, and their mouths were so wide that a fist could fit in them.
This was because they actually saw Yao Yue capture the fire dragon with his bare hands and tear it into pieces!
Such a scene was simply too shocking!
This was a powerful attack from a mid-grade Yuan King. Yao Yue had actually broken it so easily and crudely. It was truly unbelievable!
Yang Fenglin gritted his teeth and continued his pursuit. Fire Spear Radiance was condensed into one hundred and twenty percent of his strength. He swore to teach Yao Yue a lesson!
"You think you can bully the weak with such little strength? Bah!" Yao Yue continued to mock Yang Fengtian as he blocked the attacks with his bare hands.
Since others were being rude to him, he would not be polite to them either!
He did not want to continue fighting, and his aura suddenly changed!
Demonic Astral Art, Astral Twist!
Yao Yue's body was surrounded by many beast shadows, and a tyrannical aura rushed towards Yang Fenglin. His palms turned into claws, and his aura and claws intertwined to form a powerful twisting force, tearing the space into countless pieces!
Yang Fenglin, who was fighting with Yao Yue, seemed to have entered a chaotic space. The Fire Dragon Spear in his hand was shaken off by the force, and the terrifying force continued to twist Yang Fenglin's body.
"Ahhh!"
Yang Fenglin's body was covered in wounds from Yao Yue's powerful force, and he could not help but cry out in pain.
Yao Yue did not continue his pursuit after his attack succeeded. Instead, he looked at the crowd and said, "Who else wants to force me to stay? Come at me!"
At the same time, he looked at Ouyang Changming with a provocative expression.
At this moment, he could sense Ouyang Changming's cultivation. He had just become a high-grade Yuan King.
However, Ouyang Changming was confident that he could fight Ouyang Changming. Even if he could not kill Ouyang Changming, he could at least protect himself.
"It seems like you don't care about the elders of the academy. As the vice principal, let me see if you can disregard us!" Ouyang Changming shouted as killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Just as Ouyang Changming was about to attack, Situ Xiang said, "Alright, let me say something!"
Since Situ Xiang had spoken, Ouyang Changming had no choice but to obey.
Situ Xiang stared at Yao Yue and asked seriously, "Yao Yue, I want to ask you something. You must answer me truthfully."
Yao Yue nodded. Inwardly, however, he thought, The Divine Nine Supremes Technique is of great importance. I can't leak it to others. Otherwise, it will cause a huge disaster!
"Did you really not obtain any incantations or secret techniques?" Situ Xiang stared at Yao Yue and asked.
The other elders also stared at Yao Yue without blinking. It was as if they were trying to discern the truth from Yao Yue's eyes.
Yao Yue calmly faced the many Xiantian experts and said, "I only obtained the inheritance of strength. I have nothing else. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter."
"That's impossible. How can the records be wrong?"
Ouyang Changming thought in disbelief. Then, he thought, Fine. I'll let him off for now. When the time comes, I'll personally take it back. The inheritance must be mine!
Situ Xiang and the others stared at Yao Yue, causing Yao Yue's hairs to stand on end.
"Fine, we'll believe you for now. However, the inheritance is only left to the people of the academy. You have already graduated, so the academy can't restrict your actions. However, I feel that you should still be an elder in the academy. In the future, if anything major happens to the academy, you must help the academy.
If you can't do that, I will take back the inheritance on behalf of the academy, "Situ Xiang said sternly.
Yao Yue narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Fine, I'll be an elder then. However, I hope that the academy head won't restrict me too much. I can go to war at any time, and I won't have much time to stay in the academy."
"You don't have to worry about that. Our academy is also working for the imperial court. If you go to war, you will represent our academy's glory," Situ Xiang replied.
Inwardly, he thought, This kid's luck is too good. He just told me that he wants to become an emperor, and now he has obtained the stone pillar's inheritance. Looks like he really has a chance to do that.
If that's the case, it won't be a big deal for Little Qing to follow him.
"Can I leave now?" Yao Yue asked.
"There's no rush. Follow me back to the academy. I'll give you an elder token and tell you some things to take note of before you leave," Situ Xiang said.
Yao Yue hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Fine."
When the others saw Situ Xiang's decision, they didn't know what to say.
After all, Situ Xiang was the academy head. He was the most powerful person in the academy. Who would dare to openly oppose him?
However, there were a few greedy fellows who looked at Yao Yue vaguely. It was likely that they all harbored evil thoughts about Yao Yue.
Since Yao Yue had become an elder of the academy, Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei also made the same request.
Given their innate Yuan Monarchs' strength, it wouldn't be a problem for them to become an ordinary elder of the academy. Moreover, they were in the top three of the martial arts competition, so they deserved to be rewarded.
Yao Yue had obtained the inheritance of the nine stone pillars, causing a sensation in the academy. Everyone was talking about it.
"Yao Yue has profited greatly this time. He actually obtained the inheritance of the nine stone pillars and became a mid-grade Yuan Monarch. Even Elder Yang, one of the top ten elders, is no match for him. He's too powerful!"
"He's really heaven-defying. Legend has it that since the academy was established, only one or two people have obtained the inheritance of the stone pillars. Moreover, they all obtained it from a single stone pillar. However, Yao Yue has comprehended all nine stone pillars at the same time. Comparisons are odious!"
"Yao Yue has already become an elder of the academy. It's better to be respectful to him in the future. If he takes a liking to you, you'll benefit immensely from his guidance."
"Don't even think about it. He doesn't even care about the vice principal. Why would he care about us?"
Yao Yue didn't care about what others thought. After obtaining the elder token from Situ Xiang and learning about some things to take note of, he bade farewell to his two brothers and returned to the imperial city.
Before he left, Situ Xiang tried to find out if Yao Yue had lied to him.
However, Yao Yue remained tight-lipped and didn't say anything. Situ Xiang couldn't do anything about it.
After Yao Yue left, Situ Xiang sighed inwardly, "Everyone thinks that I reached my current level because I obtained the stone pillar's inheritance. Who would have thought that I didn't obtain any inheritance at all? It's just a misunderstanding. Otherwise, how could I have been stuck at this level for so many years?"
Many people said that Situ Xiang had obtained the stone pillar's inheritance, but it seemed like he hadn't.
While Yao Yue was leaving the academy, in another courtyard, Ouyang Changming had a gloomy expression as he discussed some matters with several Elders sitting in front of him.
Ouyang Changming was only second to Situ Xiang as the vice principal. His prestige in the academy was not low, and he had roped in many people.
Elder Ouyang and the other elders discussed for a while and then sent them away.
Then, he called his grandson, Ouyang Zhentian, and Ji Youran over.
Ouyang Zhentian and Ji Youran were heavily injured, but Ouyang Changming had already given them spirit spring water and medicinal pills. Their injuries were much better now.
"You know what happened just now, right?" Ouyang Changming asked the two.
The two nodded lightly, indicating that they knew.
Ouyang Zhentian revealed a ruthless expression and said, "That brat is really lucky. He actually obtained the stone pillar's inheritance!"
"His dogshit luck might just be the beginning of our good fortune!" Ji Youran's swollen face flashed with a sinister look as he replied.
"Youran is right. If he didn't obtain the inheritance, the stone pillar's secret would never have been discovered, and we wouldn't have known about it. Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, we can't miss it. It might be an emperor-grade chant or an origin martial technique!" Ouyang Changming narrowed his eyes and sighed.
