Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Then let's get started! This time I'll give you plenty of time to prepare!"

Yang Xian cracked his knuckles and said lazily, "So that you won't make excuses for me attacking you after you lose."

Upon hearing this, a sinister glint flashed across Carden's face.

But he suppressed his anger and immediately left the arena, leaving behind only the dark silver fourth-realm demon.

Standing offstage, Carden felt safe and confident again, and his posture straightened a bit more:

"Let's make this clear beforehand!"

"This time, you're not allowed to attack me; you can only fight my 'battle pet'!"

"And one more thing! You can only start after I say 'begin'!"

"Enough with the nonsense! Let's get started!" Yang Xian urged impatiently.

Carden sneered inwardly.

Kid! I'll let you be smug for a little while longer!

You won't be so smug for long!

I'm going to let everyone see you torn to shreds by my 'Blade Demon'!

The students in the audience were on the edge of their seats.

"No way, Yang Shen is really going to fight a fourth-realm demon? That's a fourth-realm demon! The suppression from that realm is too great!"

"Don't panic! Since Yang Shen dared to agree, it means he's definitely confident. Let's just wait and see!"

"Exactly! I don't care about anything else, go Yang Shen! Yang Shen is awesome!"

Nan Shunian, with a lollipop in her mouth, leaned against the railing and yawned boredly: "Tsk, this guy is showing off again."

Below the ring, Carden wore a cruel smile and suddenly waved his hand:

"The battle begins now!"

"Blade Demon! Chop that person in front of you into mincemeat!"

On the arena, the dark silver blade demon received the command and its previously still body instantly moved.

It crouched slightly, its bone blades crossed in front of its chest, assuming a standard fighting stance, the sharp edges gleaming with a sinister light.

A terrifying pressure belonging to beings from the four realms suddenly spread out, causing many of the weaker freshmen below the stage to feel suffocated.

However, in the very next moment...

Without warning, the sky above the competition venue suddenly flashed.

"Boom—!"

It was accompanied by deafening thunder.

A thick bolt of purple lightning seemed to tear through space, descending from the sky with earth-shattering power, striking the Blade Demon with perfect accuracy.

A sudden burst of bright light blinded everyone, causing them to instinctively close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, the sight on the ring left them speechless.

The Blade Demon, who had been so menacing just moments before, was now lying stiffly on the ground.

Its dark silver body turned charred black, and countless tiny arcs of electricity jumped incessantly on its broken body, making a "sizzling" sound.

The smooth, mirror-like head was split open, wisps of smoke rising from it, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning protein.

"..."

"..."

After a brief period of deathly silence, a deafening roar erupted.

"That's... the end?"

"The monster wasn't even attacked yet, and it was already dead?"

"My God! That was a fourth-realm demon! And it was just killed by a bolt of lightning?"

"What fourth-realm demon? Utterly pathetic! In front of Yang Shen, they're no different from paper!"

On the stage, Yang Xian slowly retracted his index and middle fingers, which were joined together, and the last wisp of electricity on his fingertips quietly dissipated.

He looked down at the stunned Carden below the stage and spoke calmly:

You lost.

"Get out of Chengwu University now."

"I'm only giving you one day. If I see you at school again tomorrow, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"No! Impossible!" Carden snapped out of his shock.

"How could I possibly lose!"

"Blade Demon! Get up!"

Unfortunately, a corpse cannot respond to him.

Kaden abruptly raised his head, pointing a finger at Yang Xian on the stage, his eyes bloodshot: "You cheated! You definitely cheated! That attack just now wasn't your doing at all; someone must have been secretly helping you behind the scenes!"

"Don't use your narrow-minded understanding to speculate about a martial artist's strength." Yang Xian's voice carried a hint of pity.

A frog at the bottom of a well can never imagine the vastness of the sky.

Back when he was in the second realm, Yang Xian used his fully mastered Thunder Prison Demon Suppression Technique to kill a heavily injured fourth realm demon head-on.

He has now firmly entered the late stage of the third realm, and his strength is now completely different from what it used to be, undergoing a tremendous change.

Killing a mere early-stage fourth-realm demon in an instant is not a big problem for him at all.

Yang Xian leaped and landed lightly on the ground, walking step by step toward Carden.

"What? You're trying to renege on your debt?"

His pace was slow, but every step he took terrified someone.

"No, don't come any closer!" Kaden was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, eventually tripping over himself and falling to the ground, scrambling backward on his hands and feet.

"I'm leaving now... I'm leaving now..."

He was truly terrified; this Chinese martial artist was simply a monster!

Several members of the exorcism cult rushed forward and helped Kaden up.

Then the group fled in a disheveled manner toward the stadium entrance.

Watching them leave, the Chinese students in the audience finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"Why didn't you do this earlier? You had to be beaten to a pulp before you'd behave."

"Look at the state he's in. He's been beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him."

"I think he has masochistic tendencies; he'll get itchy if he doesn't get a beating!"

"That doesn't mean you can just come out and disgust people! What bad luck!"

"Don't worry, you'll never have to see him again..."

Carden was being supported by his companions, and with every step he took, his face felt like it was burning.

He gritted his teeth, and because he exerted too much force, the wound at the corner of his mouth reopened, and blood kept dripping down his chin.

Hearing the harsh laughter around him, the resentment and anger in his heart grew deeper and deeper, almost threatening to devour his reason.

As he approached the entrance to the arena, Carden abruptly stopped and turned around.

"Yang Xian! Don't think that..."

But before he could finish speaking, he saw a fist grow larger and larger in his field of vision.

"Bang!"

Another muffled sound.

He was knocked to the ground by another solid punch.

Yang Xian's figure had appeared there without anyone noticing.

He muttered to himself, his eyes cold.

"I knew it would turn out like this..."

When dealing with someone who never learns from their mistakes, there can be no leniency whatsoever.

With a flick of his wrist, Yang Xian conjured a long whip made of lightning, which instantly wrapped around the opponent's neck.

The next moment, he suddenly pulled upwards.

Carden flew up uncontrollably and was eventually grabbed by the neck by Yang Xian.

As the feeling of suffocation came over him, Kaden began to struggle violently, his hands futilely scratching at Yang Xian's arms, his legs kicking wildly in the air.

"Unrepentant!" Yang Xian said coldly.

"However, you won't have another chance!"
