Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 201-Chapter 300)

The gust of wind slammed into his face, but he felt nothing. He opened his eyes and saw how the cauldron had suddenly stopped before him, only inches away.

The giant lumberman blinked his eyes, as if he was wondering what was going on. He lowered his head and saw a young man in black. He had caught the cauldron.

The young man in black turned around, revealing a handsome face with straight, slanted eyebrows and twinkling eyes. However, his face seemed like it was forged from metal before being sealed in ice, radiating with coldness.

He said coldly, “It ends here. You’ve already lost.”

The giant lumberman became dejected, but he glanced at the young man in black gratefully. If it were not for him, he might have been dead already.

The young man in black tossed the cauldron back at Hua Chengzan. The cauldron flew into Hua Chengzan’s hand, having already returned to the size of a palm. With a spurt of true qi, it was sent into the hundred treasures pouch. Hua Chengzan said to the young man in black who had suddenly appeared, “Tieyi, what brings you here?”

Han Qiongzhi waved at him. “Yo, li’l bro!”

The young man in black did not seem to see them. He turned around and stared straight at Li Qingshan, saying coldly, “Impressive skills as a Body Practitioner.”

“Right back at you!” Li Qingshan saw it all unfold extremely clearly. The young man in black had only darted out from the side after he had thrown the cauldron. He was like an agile panther, arriving in the blink of an eye and catching the cauldron. His body was so powerful that even Li Qingshan was rather surprised. Was he a legendary Body Practitioner?

When the young man in black received the cauldron, he did not catch it forcefully. Instead, he twisted the cauldron slightly, catching it cleverly and demonstrating his extremely great martial arts.

As if he was already used to the young man in black’s coldness, Hua Chengzan introduced, “The primary disciple of the school of the Military, Han Tieyi. Those who say I’m the greatest below Foundation Establishment must have never met him.”

Li Qingshan nodded, agreeing with Hua Chengzan’s words. Not only did Han Tieyi have a powerful body, but he was also at the tenth layer as a Qi Practitioner. He practised both qi and the body. He would probably struggle to find any even opponents among Qi Practitioners. Li Qingshan clasped his hands. “Li Qingshan!”

Han Tieyi ignored him. He turned around and faced Qiu Haitang, who had her brows furrowed. “How many spiritual stones for this otherfolk? I’ll buy him!”

Hua Chengzan sighed gently. “Haitang, you’ve lost.”

Qiu Haitang clenched her fist for a while before loosening it again, as if she refused to accept this outcome. In the end, she sighed. “So be it. Li Qingshan, the Sect of Clouds and Rain cleans its slate with you. You best not appear before me again either.”

If she insisted that Han Tieyi had interfered with the match, she could make it to the third round, but she was not an unreasonable, pestering woman. And, with Li Qingshan’s performance earlier, it would be difficult for her to emerge victorious even if she made it to the third match. Instead of that, she might as well just admit defeat now. However, the Virtue Accumulation pill truly did pain her. She gritted her teeth in hatred for Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan smiled. “Let’s hope that comes true!” With several thousand additional spiritual stones to his name and the Virtue Accumulation pill in hand, he could probably go knock on that door that led to the Daemon General realm now! As for whether he would appear before her again, that would not be for her to decide anymore.

“Nice one, kid. Nicely done!” Han Qiongzhi came over and slapped Li Qingshan’s shoulder.

The contempt in the eyes of the legalist disciples completely vanished. Just from how his strength of lifting the cauldron alone, not a lot among them could match him, and it was even rarer for him to earn a word of praise from Han Tieyi. After all, that fellow was cold to the bones. No wonder Hua Chengzan valued him so much.

Even Wu Gen could not help but admit that this countryside kid was extraordinary. He glanced at Qian Rongzhi with mixed emotion and only saw her smiling. She was not particularly overjoyed at all. Her demeanour only made him even more interested in her.

With some delighted, others would obviously be concerned. With Qiu Haitang’s forfeit, the entire building was thrown into an uproar.

They had actually lost a bet that they were certain they would win, and they had lost it in such an absolute fashion. There was not even the need for a third match.

“No, this is rigged! Refund the spiritual stones!” Someone called out.



That immediately led to a chain of similar responses. Everyone demanded for the Parlour of Clouds and Rain to refund the spiritual stones. There were quite a few Qi Practitioners who threw several hundred spiritual stones into the bet. To many Qi Practitioners, this was all that they had, and it had all evaporated in an instant, so how could they accept this?

“Does anyone doubt my oversight?” Hua Chengzan’s smiled vanished. He raised his head and looked around. Wherever his gaze passed by, the ruckus immediately settled down.

……

“Brother Tian, we’ve lost.”

“Whatever. It’s just a thousand spiritual stones, right? It’s nothing at all.” The young man in white behaved like he did not care, but he bled inside. He had not brought a lot of spiritual stones with him this time to enter the Academy of the Hundred Schools. He had basically lost half of it all of a sudden. He muttered under his breath, “Li Qingshan.” before turning around and leaving furiously.

“How many spiritual stones?” Han Tieyi asked Qiu Haitang again. He was determined to purchase the otherfolk.

“Since you want him, how can I accept your spiritual stones, Tieyi? Just take him!” Qiu Haitang casually tossed out a deed.

The giant lumberman stared straight at the thin piece of paper. He was almost tempted to snatch it over, but even if he snatched it and destroyed it, it would be useless. He could not help but become dejected.

Hua Chengzan said, “Forget about my winnings. Just treat it as the payment for the otherfolk.”

Li Qingshan thought, Brother Hua sure is extravagant. A few thousand spiritual stones doesn’t even mean anything to him. Li Qingshan also saw how close he was with Han Tieyi.

Qiu Haitan shot Hua Chengzan a vicious glance. “If I said I’m giving him to Tieyi, then I’m giving it to Tieyi. As for your winnings, I wouldn’t give it to you even if you want it.”

Han Tieyi caught the deed. He remained as cold as ever, and he did not thank Hua Chengzan and Qiu Haitang either. With just a wave of his hand, the deed was immediately reduced to powder.

He said to the giant lumberman, “You’re free now. Come to the Academy of the Hundred Schools the day after tomorrow and join my school of the Military.” He said it like it was an order, cold and leaving no room for negotiation.

He glanced at Li Qingshan again and then at Hua Chengzan, but he said nothing. He strode away.

Hua Chengzan rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. “He has acknowledged me a little. At least he hasn’t directly taken advantage of me.”

You call that acknowledgement? Only then did Li Qingshan understand that it was not that Han Tieyi did not acknowledge him, but rather he was born with a stiff face and never acknowledged anyone. Li Qingshan then noticed that his strides and rhythm remained the same the entire time, without any variations at all. He was as precise and monotonous as a clock. Was this the demeanour of a military disciple?

The school of the Military might be a decent choice too.

The giant lumberman returned to his senses and growled at the figure with a strange voice, “I’ll definitely be there!”
