CHAPTER 212: CHAPTER 212: I BLOCK YOUR WELL OPENING (FOURTH UPDATE)

Wow!

Suddenly, everyone’s eyes were on Qin Zi.

Everyone knew that the Lu Family harbored a grudge against Qin Zi. After all, the Lu Family being expelled from Purple Cloud Academy had Qin Zi as the catalyst.

Yes, the catalyst.

It wasn’t just a day’s cold that formed ice three feet thick; the Lu Family’s expulsion from the Academy couldn’t be merely because of their conflicts with Qin Zi. It was due to their long-standing improper conduct, which made it intolerable for many top figures within the Academy.

Of course, this catalyst was also very significant. At least for the Lu Family, Qin Zi served as an outlet for their resentment.

If they couldn’t shake the Academy, they would target you, Qin Zi!

At this moment, Qin Zi suddenly became nervous.

Since learning of Senior Brother Jin’s feat of "holding up the sky," he began comparing the strength gap between them.

He realized that even at the same realm, he couldn’t confidently say he’d defeat this freak, not to mention... the opponent was five small realms above him.

Jin Zhi was a Saint at the Seventh Heavenly Layer!

If the other party chose to sacrifice him to avoid conflict with Lu Qian, his resistance seemed somewhat futile...

However!

Jin Zhi wasn’t even looking at him.

Instead, he looked expressionlessly at Lu Qian and said calmly, "I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."

"Heh, what misunderstanding?"

Lu Qian raised an eyebrow, a playful look appearing on his face — trying to cozy up to me? Naive!

However, the next moment, a cold light shot out from Jin Zhi’s eyes as he said coldly, "I told you to step aside, not to negotiate with you! When did I say you could start bargaining?"

Wow!

Lu Qian’s smile froze abruptly!

His mouth twitched slightly, feeling like a slap in the face came out of nowhere at his most triumphant moment.

It was a feeling of profound humiliation!

"Jin Zhi!!"

He shouted angrily, a wild aura soaring into the sky, rebuking, "Do you really think you’re invincible among your peers?!"

"I don’t dare claim invincibility, but handling you is more than enough."

Jin Zhi said blandly.

"Good!! Jin Zhi is indeed Jin Zhi, still as arrogant as ever! But I must tell you, no one can be undefeated forever. You are improving, others are improving too. Never remain complacent!"

Lu Qian said forcefully.

"What complacency are you talking about? I haven’t read books, I don’t understand your bookish expressions."

Jin Zhi frowned slightly, then said blandly:

"However, for a frog in a well, I just need to block its well mouth to let it never see the light of day."

"You!!!"

Lu Qian was utterly furious.

Back in the Academy, this person always stole his spotlight. Although dissatisfied, he never fought for those false reputations.

Now, this person was still so arrogant, did he really think Lu Qian was just ordinary fodder?!

"Both of you are top prodigies of the Purple Cloud Domain, don’t ruin harmony over trivial matters."

At this moment, a silvery voice rang out.

Everyone turned to look.

It was a girl in a white dress, like a fairy stepping on water waves, her presence ethereal.

"Luo Shuixian!"

"The Celestial Maiden of the Luo Family!"

Everyone exclaimed, showing envy and admiration. This girl held a noble status, with unmatched beauty and top talent.

"Miss Shuixian."

Lu Qian, who was just flushed with anger moments before, showed a smile as soon as he saw this girl.

While Jin Zhi looked at her blandly and asked, "What do you mean by trivial matters?"

Luo Shuixian was slightly stunned, then smiled and said:

"I misspoke. Although these matters are not trivial, they don’t warrant such tension between the two. How about both take a step back?"

"Of course, that’s fine."

Lu Qian gave a sycophantic smile to Luo Shuixian, then looked at Jin Zhi with a condescending look and said blandly:

"For Miss Shuixian’s sake, I won’t argue with you today. The previous condition still stands; agree to it, and this main leaf will be yours."

"Thank you, Young Master Lu."

Luo Shuixian gave Lu Qian a gentle smile, then looked at Jin Zhi and smiled, "And what about you, Young Master Jin?"

Jin Zhi looked at her calmly.

After a long while, he asked mildly, "Why should I take a step back when it’s effortless for me to move forward?"

This!!!

That one sentence left everyone dumbfounded, and the sweet smile on Luo Shuixian’s face froze.

She never imagined someone could reject her so directly because this had never happened before.

"Heh... haha..."

Her embarrassment broke into an awkward smile after a long pause, she said, "Just a little face for this girl, could you?"

Jin Zhi looked at her and asked, "Are we close?"

Pa! Pa! Pa!

This statement was harsher than the previous one, like an invisible slap resounding on Luo Shuixian’s face.

Luo Shuixian was completely stunned.

She assumed her grand entrance carried weight and that everyone would give her some face, but the other party completely disregarded her.

You think you’re a celebrity.

But at most, you’re just a name.

There was nothing more face-slapping than this.

Thus, the proud daughter of the Luo Family’s face changed colors, red and white with embarrassment, wishing to vanish on the spot.

"You, Jin, are too much!!"

Lu Qian couldn’t bear it any longer, his sycophantic roar resounded, with glows from seven Laws rising to the sky, illuminating the heavens.

Yet Jin Zhi remained unfazed, saying blandly:

"Many people value self-awareness; what makes her think her presence is more important than my junior brother’s dignity?"

Wow!

Behind him, Qin Zi trembled violently.

Junior brother?

This seemingly indifferent Senior Brother Jin, who never spoke to him, actually considered him a junior brother?

But he quickly understood — that term signified not emotion, but responsibility!

Senior Brother Jin was the leader of this Purple Cloud Academy expedition, naturally responsible for looking after the junior brothers and sisters, and a person with a sense of duty would not let those they protect suffer grievances.

Suddenly.

This stern youth in golden attire became towering in Qin Zi’s mind — he held up more than just the lower half!

"Less talk, defend yourself!"

Lu Qian was done speaking, the anger from his goddess being humiliated drove him into a frenzy, leaping up, attacking Jin Zhi.

"Seven Kill Sky-breaker!"

His fist moved, turning the power of seven Laws into the Big Dipper, then the seven stars moved, overlapping; eventually, the seven Laws... fused!

Suddenly, a terrifying aura that sent chills through one’s heart spread out, causing many to show expressions of horror.

"Law Fusion!"

"What a terrifying Divine Technique; is this the depth of the Lu Family?"

"Let’s get to cover!"

The oppressive force from this punch made everyone present uneasy, a feeling akin to suffocation.

Qin Zi’s entire body was tense.

He felt heavy-hearted; this level of power was indeed beyond his current reach.

The gap was too vast.

"Buzz!!"

Suddenly, a surge of overwhelming blood energy rose into the sky, like red clouds everywhere, then a pillar of blood light pierced through the sky, directly passing through the seven-colored Law light.

"Bang!!!"

The next moment, the seven laws shattered, like fireworks, and a figure plummeted like a meteor.

Thud!

It was Lu Qian, kneeling on one knee, his right fist on the ground, his left hand clutching his chest as he spewed fresh blood.

"Pfff!!!"

Jin Zhi stood proudly in the sky, his back to the crowd, his blood energy slowly retracted, returning to calm.

He turned his head slightly, saying blandly:

"I told you, for a frog in a well, just block its well mouth, and it won’t see the light of day."
