He’s fought several rounds already and needs a rest. What’s the matter? You’re allowed to use a revolving lineup, but we can’t switch a fighter? Is this the standard of Seven Gods Collegium students?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If my friend wishes to take his place, of course that’s fine,” Tian Yiqing said after a short pause, smiling faintly. “Just don’t complain to the Chancellor if you lose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo laughed softly. It seemed that Feng Buxiu hadn’t told them about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they knew that Hong Yu had died by his hand, they might not be so eager to challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You go recover first,” Xu Zimo said, gesturing for Xie Changliu to step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at Tian Yiqing and beckoned. “You can make the first move.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re confident,” Tian Yiqing said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his right hand, and the calm void around them began to ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that void, a longsword slowly emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sword glided through the air, its reflection split into countless overlapping shadows that surged toward Xu Zimo like rolling clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within those shadows lay the rhythm of drifting and gathering clouds, soft yet deliberate, never missing their mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo clasped his hands behind his back, lightly tapping his foot as he drifted backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Tian’s Sevenfold Cloud Shadows are getting more refined,” one of the students whispered from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, though it’s called sevenfold, in truth it’s endless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yiqing’s sword grew faster and faster until even the afterimages blurred out of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clouds rolled and scattered; sword shadows gleamed like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s eyes narrowed. With a single tap of his finger in the air, a crushing pressure fell downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored how many shadows there were and simply broke them all by sheer force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions burst through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yiqing’s body was hurled backward, his sword carving a long trench across the ground before he managed to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad,” Tian Yiqing said with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One Breath Moves Mountains And Rivers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shout rang out, and the sword in his hand transformed into a stream of qi that surged forward with the might of collapsing mountains and flooding seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That strike pressed down upon Xu Zimo, tearing the air apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo gave a cold snort and drew his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade light pierced the sky, unleashing a world-splitting power that clashed violently with the oncoming mountain-sea qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another explosion shook the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The void shattered, and Tian Yiqing was blasted backward once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it?” Xu Zimo said with a faint smile and shake of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yiqing didn’t respond. He was silent for a moment before red spirit energy ignited around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, a pair of blazing crimson wings formed out of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Heavenly God Feathers,” someone whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yiqing took to the air, his sword now wrapped in dazzling flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blazing Sun Burns Sky!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword swept out, the flames flaring even brighter, surging toward Xu Zimo like a tidal wave of heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo sidestepped, and the fiery stream smashed into the ground beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth cracked apart, white smoke billowing as the ground itself burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yiqing darted through the air with terrifying speed, his flaming wings propelling him like a comet. The flames in his hands moved as fluidly as if they were extensions of his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dodging several strikes, Xu Zimo frowned slightly and then raised both hands toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come down,” he commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless spirit energy poured into his palms, coalescing into a massive hand of light that reached upward, seized Tian Yiqing midair, and slammed him violently into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a thunderous crash. The cracked earth quaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough...” Tian Yiqing spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his insides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… you’ll pay for this,” he snarled, his eyes bloodshot and feral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun mark on his forehead flared a deeper crimson, and his entire face turned red as blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair ignited like fire, and power surged endlessly into his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“World-Burning Fire Lotus!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames twisted and coiled, condensing into the shape of a lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lotus expanded rapidly, thousands of times its original size, illuminating the entire sky in a fiery red glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go, Fire Lotus!” Tian Yiqing roared, hurling it toward Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Refine everything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before the lotus reached him, the air was already scorching hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many students nearby found their robes catching fire and screamed as they scrambled backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Playing with fire?” Xu Zimo chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, who had mastered the Zhurong’s Fire God Ancient Dao, the highest of all flames beneath heaven, had nothing to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, and a small flame appeared in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was faint, yet one glance was enough to know it was no ordinary fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the usual crimson of flames, this one was a chaotic, colorless glow, pure and formless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the fire lotus bloomed, attempting to incinerate all, Xu Zimo flicked his small flame toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two met in midair, but the explosion everyone expected never came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they hung in stalemate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the fire lotus blazed fiercely, trying to consume the tiny flame, but it couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the lotus weakened, its brilliance dimming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, to the horror of everyone watching, the small flame began devouring the great lotus piece by piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How… how is this possible?” Tian Yiqing gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to control the fire lotus, shouting, “Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the lotus no longer obeyed him. It was completely beyond his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his disbelieving eyes, the tiny flame consumed the entire lotus and grew even larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo flicked his hand, and the flame obediently returned to his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a flick of his finger, he sent it forth again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive lotus of devouring fire descended from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yiqing screamed, his crimson wings flaring as he tried to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But beneath that lotus, his wings disintegrated instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The searing heat swept downward, and in terror, Tian Yiqing threw his arms over his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a figure descended from the sky, stepping across the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Feng Buxiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His robes billowed as he appeared before Tian Yiqing, both hands thrusting forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A formation activated, the main array of Seven Gods Collegium flared to life, glowing brightly as it enveloped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chancellor’s spirit pressure burst out like a storm as he forced the devouring lotus to dissolve completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please stay your hand, Young Master Xu,” Feng Buxiu said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward the students, his expression hardening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disgraceful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chancellor…” Tian Yiqing said weakly, his tone carrying a hint of grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I hadn’t intervened, you’d already be dead. If this happens again, no one will be able to save you,” Feng Buxiu said flatly. “All of you, disperse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the students withdrew in silence, Xu Zimo smiled faintly. “Chancellor Feng, quite the plan you had. You’ve been watching for a while, haven’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Buxiu chuckled. “Young Master Xu understands my position. I may be the Chancellor, and though having you represent the academy suppresses dissent for now, it’s not a lasting solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes,” he said, glancing at the retreating students, “it’s better to let them learn the hard way.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1249,"2026-06-06T01:07:12.426Z",1,"novelbin.me","fb217c60a7ec66e424b9bd113fda5a963f5b364c4dcfcef8a696e53282d7c01e","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1207","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1205",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
