Dong Qitian looked first at Yun Yang then at Shi Wuchen, Shi Bujia, and Kong Luoyue. He was exceptionally aware of the savagery that was pouring from the latter. He clicked his tongue and grinned, saying, “Not bad. You children have decent physiques, all right. Yun has the best foundation but the three of you are fine as well, all certainly above average. In this case, it’s worth my time and effort to be the chief instructor.”
The corners of Shi Wuchen and the other two men’s lips were tugged upwards in an insincere smile that turned into a sneer as they crossed their arms after hearing what he had said.
” More words just won’t do if you want to be our chief instructor. You’ve got to be capable to train us. Boasting is worth nothing, that’s what empty tins do.”
Dong Qitian was first taken aback before he smiled meaningfully and replied with mild interest, ” It Iooks like I must impress all of you before I officially start the training. Come at once, all four of you. I shall let you find out your chief trainer’s level, where high as heaven is, I am there!”
Yun Yang shook his head like a rattle drum.
“No, no, no, I don’t need such knowledge. I’ve long been impressed by you, wholly so.”
Yun Yang was not stupid. He would never jump into such a deep pit. Dong Qitian was at least the level of a Supreme Saint based on what he had shown and what was he? A newly ascended Saint! The difference between them was more than heaven and earth..
Dong Qitian’s exhalation could probably blow him away.. Why would he create more trouble for himself? If he had gone for it, he would be digging his own grave, inflicting pain upon himself - it was not what a wise man would do!
Shi Wuchen cast doubtful eyes at Yun Yang. Based on his understanding of Yun Yang, he instinctively felt that something was not right.
Yun Yang spoke seriously, “Senior Dong, these three men are three of the Residence of Nine Supremes’ founders. Their cultivation base isn’t ordinary at all. While you’re a senior, I would still advise you to watch out.”
Dong Qitian nodded in equal seriousness.
“I know. I haven’t met experts for a long time. I’ll treat this seriously, very seriously.”
The trio guffawed when they heard him, one laughing, one bellowing, and one more smirking. They asked with barely contained bravado “Are you sure you want to go one against three?”
Dong Qitian blinked, answering, “A chief instructor should behave like one..”
“Let’s go!”
Shi Wuchen unsheathed his sword with squinted eyes.
“Chief trainer, my sincerest apologies!”
The sword light was threatening, Shi Wuchen’s build was tall and lofty, while his gaze was at least as sharp as his sword.
Shi Bujia held a long whip in his grip, his weapon gleaming in gold. He took a few steps back slowly, smiling with his arms on his back. “Careful, chief coach.”
Two strange-looking weapons the shape of cones glinted icily in Kong Luoyue’s hands as he smiled and said, “Chief instructor, my weapon is a peculiar one. Do watch out..”
“Certainly,” Dong Qitian replied, nodding calmly.
With a piercing cry, the trio launched their attack in unison, besieging Dong Qitian from three directions. The latter looked collected as he made no move to avoid the onslaught, quietly waiting for the three-pronged attack to reach him.
Then, there was a loud boom as he unleashed a counter-attack.
Clang!
As Shi Wuchen felt a powerful force hitting his sword, he actually lost his grip on his weapon. The smug look was still on his face when he flew like he was riding on clouds. As he drifted through the air, he coincidentally saw a whip in Dong Qitian’s grasp. That was Shi Bujia’s weapon. As for said man, he was just slightly behind him, soaring in the same direction he himself was flying in, with probably a few millimeters’ difference in distance.
Watching in disbelief, Shi Wuchen continued to witness as Dong Qitian threw the whip on the ground like it was a dead snake, but his hand was yet to be empty. The latter’s gaze was still flickering coldly as Kong Luoyue’s ‘peculiar weapon’ that he had introduced earlier appeared in his hand. Kong Luoyue himself followed after Shi Wuchen and Shi Bujia, flying closely behind them.
The trio who had been flung away and were still flying managed to exchange looks, seeing the mirrored shock and disbelief that was reflected on each other’s face. They dared not believe it!
Indeed, other than being shocked and in disbelief, they dared not believe it.
It.. seemed like.. What had happened? Why had they suddenly..
How could something like this possibly happen in real life? It was absurd - there was no way this could be taking place!
Right then, Dong Qitian transformed into a devil with thousands of arms and legs as he gave chase and launched a series of violent blows, with each battering raining down on the trio like a storm.
“Are you impressed now - are you impressed now - are you..”
Thwack, thwack, thwack..
The rapping sound of each strike meeting flesh was continuous and intimidating. The trio stayed hovering in the air for nearly an hour, unable to land, while Dong Qitian walloped them for the same period of time like he was practicing on a punching bag.
Forget counterattacking or trying to avoid the blows, the trio did not even have time to fall with gravity and could only take the punishment that was being meted out.
Time!
Dong Qitian flickered like a ghost, already returning to the ground quietly. He proudly stood with arms behind his back, saying coldly, “From tonight onwards, anyone who dares slack off will be punished ten to hundred times, based on today’s penalty. You’re welcome to try!”
Before his words echoed, he was long gone.
After a moment, there were three thuds resounding from the trio’s fall back to earth. The men were unable to pick themselves up for some time.
Laughter almost tore through Yun Yang’s throat when he scrutinized them, after his initial uncertain assessment. All three men looked like they had expanded more than double their original size. Initially, they were three lean and sculpted middle-aged men who had an elegant flair; their nobility was entirely gone now. Yun Yang only felt that there were three of Qian Duoduo’s brothers in front of him!
The three of them could no longer be described as sporting a bruised lip and broken nose. They were bruised and swollen all over, yet it was funny and easy on the eyes because the swelling was unusually balanced across each part of their body!
It was like a fermenting bun that was slowly expanding outwards.
The three men who were thoroughly beaten had no tears to cry as they laid sprawled on the ground, staring back at Yun Yang with bleary eyes.
“Boss.. you’ve dug such a big hole.. You could’ve told us earlier that the chief trainer is so skilled.. You should’ve told us earlier..”
Shi Wuchen looked utterly resentful, but Yun Yang remained oblivious to it as a certain someone did look completely different from usual. It would be strange if he could see the resentment from his expression.
The trio knew now, no matter how stupid they were, that this was Yun Yang’s trickery - a huge pit. He knew the level of this chief instructor but he had cunningly said nothing and even goaded the three of them into challenging him..
Looking back at their flesh that was almost transparent from being swollen, it felt as if their scalp was swollen too.. The trio had no tears despite wanting very much to sob bitterly.
How could there be such a blackguard in this world? Where was the so-called good faith of this human realm? Worse, this blackguard was their superior..
