Chapter 154 - Shameless


In a cunning move, Tao Wenbing demolished all the surrounding pillars, leaving only one for himself to stand on, thereby ensuring that Liu Wuxie would have no place to land.

However, Liu Wuxie calculated his landing on the pillar that was on the verge of sinking into the mud. He elegantly glided through the air for five meters before landing his right foot on the pillar. His performance was devoid of any flashy moves or potent martial techniques but was a pure demonstration of environmental control and meticulous attention to detail.

This performance drew praise from the crowd.

“Brilliant! Brilliant! I didn’t expect Junior Brother Liu’s movement technique to be so brilliant!” Wang Yonghao and the other students of Advanced Class Seven applauded. Their hearts had been in their mouths earlier, filled with anxiety that Liu Wuxie might fall into the mud.

But in a critical moment, Liu Wuxie turned the tables and returned to the pillar.

Xue Yu’s eyes were terrifyingly cold. Just when they were about to celebrate, Liu Wuxie’s return to the pillar served as a stinging rebuke to the Xue Clan, plunging the surroundings into stunned silence.

“Not bad!” Tao Wenbing’s eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness. He lightly stepped on the pillar and soared like a swallow, navigating through several pillars just a meter away from Liu Wuxie. There weren’t many pillars in the surroundings, and each step would be difficult.

Tao Wenbing launched himself into the air, rising three feet and aiming for a distant pillar. His plan was clear: if he could destroy the pillar first, Liu Wuxie would lose his footing due to the dwindling number of pillars.

The remaining pillars were few, and Tao Wenbing’s strategy was ruthless. Unable to force Liu Wuxie into the mud, he resorted to demolishing the surrounding pillars to see how Liu Wuxie would keep up.

The reality was brutal. The pillars were suitable for one person to practice, but the difficulty would increase with two people walking on the pillars simultaneously, not to mention that they had to be on guard against each other.

“Pitiful tricks!” Liu Wuxie scoffed. He ascended into the sky gracefully. Compared to Tao Wenbing, he was on a completely different level.

“Such a graceful form!” Many female disciples stood up with stars shining in their eyes.

Liu Wuxie’s body was like a celestial crane stepping on the clouds. He performed a somersault four times in mid-air before landing on a pillar.

“Show off!” Xu Lingxue muttered, but the concern in her eyes had decreased compared to before.

Tao Wenbing’s face became cold. He had underestimated Liu Wuxie’s movement technique. His Wind Blade Step was a profound-grade movement technique. There weren’t many students in the Imperial Academy who had reached greater mastery in it. Having practiced it extensively, he had come to understand the characteristics of the wind, mastering this movement technique completely.

Tao Wenbing’s gaze became cold as he charged at Liu Wuxie, planning to put his life on the line. The Xue Clan had already warned him that if he failed to kill Liu Wuxie, he needn’t bother returning.

“You’re courting death!” Liu Wuxie retorted. He had initially thought that this was a competition between movement techniques, but it turned out that Tao Wenbing wanted to kill him.

Tao Wenbing’s legs were like two pincers, forming a scissor closing onto Liu Wuxie’s neck. This proved that Tao Wenbing had trained his legs.

There was no way to avoid the incoming attack because Tao Wenbing had destroyed the surrounding pillars. However, that didn’t mean Liu Wuxie was helpless. Exerting force with his right foot, Liu Wuxie soared to the sky, using his legs to clash with Tao Wenbing’s legs.

Liu Wuxie had already traveled ten meters. Seeing this, many teachers stood up because they didn’t know how Liu Wuxie managed to do it.

“It’s not just because he has a powerful movement technique. It seems he has many secrets on him,” several teachers speculated among themselves. They, too, could travel ten meters in the air and only a hundred meters if they were gliding from a higher altitude. However, covering a hundred meters horizontally in the air was deemed impossible.

Liu Wuxie’s speed increased with his murderous intent growing. He had no intentions of letting Tao Wenbing off today.

When Tao Wenbing turned around, he was terrified. He accelerated his speed with the pillars behind him exploding.

The students of Advanced Class Seven became nervous, hoping they could render help. Liu Wuxie had traveled thirty meters and still showed no signs of falling, leaving many people in disbelief.

“This is impossible! He’s only in the Xiantian Realm! How can he possibly travel over thirty meters in the air?!” Xue Pinzhi stood up angrily.

No one could comprehend this scene, regardless of their cultivation. But that was the reality, as Liu Wuxie was like an eagle soaring in the sky. His arms resembled wings as he tapped his foot in mid-air and left behind ripples, looking like he was walking on the water's surface.

“Only a star teacher can control true essence to this degree!” a first-class teacher said with disbelief. They realized that they had underestimated Liu Wuxie.

“If this kid manages to survive, his future will be unimaginable. No wonder he managed to cause the Nine Stars Illumination phenomenon. The purity of his true essence is unmatched among his peers in the academy.”

Liu Wuxie’s true essence was known to be nine times that of ordinary people, but only he knew that the true essence in his dantian wasn’t merely nine times greater; it could even be as much as ninety times!

“Tao Wenbing, you won’t be able to escape!” Liu Wuxie increased his speed. He was like an agile swallow, while Tao Wenbing was like a clumsy bird. The destroyed pillars hadn’t fallen completely, allowing Liu Wuxie to use them as footing to increase his speed, bringing him closer, and he was only twenty meters away from Tao Wenbing.

Tao Wenbing was closer to the endpoint. As long as he crossed it, he would still be the one who won the competition.

“Liu Wuxie, come and catch me if you can!” Tao Wenbing gave it all out. He swung his right hand, throwing out darts at Liu Wuxie.

“Shameless! How despicable!” Many students stood up to support Liu Wuxie. They had no grudge against Liu Wuxie and couldn’t bear Tao Wenbing’s shamelessness. What should have been a fair competition had devolved into this.

On the other hand, Liu Wuxie followed the rules. He didn’t resort to any martial techniques or weapons, relying solely on his movement technique to outmaneuver Tao Wenbing.

“No one can escape if I decide to kill them, and I’ll start my killing spree with you tonight!” Liu Wuxie’s voice echoed throughout the venue. He wanted the Xue Clan to know he would slowly eliminate them that night. As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished, leaving everyone clueless about how he managed to do it.

Striding the Seven Dipper Steps, Liu Wuxie took seven steps, closing his distance from Tao Wenbing.

Tao Wenbing could already see the endpoint, and this brought a smile to his face. He would be safe in another two breaths.

However, a sudden sense of impending danger overcame him, and he was filled with terror when he turned around.
