Chapter 515: Beaten into Submission

"Are you... Xia Yang?"

Wang Longyang's pupils constricted slightly, a brief flash of astonishment in his eyes.

But very quickly, the astonishment turned into killing intent.

Beside him, Liu Baxian and that guest advisor hurriedly stood in front of Wang Longyang.

Liu Baxian spoke up: "You dog-bold wretch, how dare you disturb the Young Master.

Young Master, I shall break him in today!"

Seeing Liu Baxian, Wang Longyang nodded with satisfaction: "Good."

Liu Baxian was a Fourth Grade martial artist.

A Fourth Grade martial artist could already be considered a great expert.

Ordinary people, even a dozen of them, could not get close to him.

And what about Xia Yang?

He was nothing more than a student from the academy.

He was no more than eighteen years old and had always been practicing Literary Arts.

Even if he had some martial arts skills, what kind of achievements could he possibly have?

Liu Baxian looked at Xia Yang, a cruel smile on his face: "If it were elsewhere, seeing a pretty boy like you, I might play with you for a while.

But today..."

Liu Baxian slowly walked toward Lin Chao.

His physique was extremely burly, his arms as thick as Lin Chao's thighs.

His fists seemed as large as Lin Chao's head.

He projected an extremely strong sense of intimidation.

Wang Longyang sat on a grandmaster chair, squinting his eyes, picking up his tea to sip it slowly.

Yet the next instant, the teacup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the scalding tea splashed onto his face.

Because, with a single strike, Lin Chao had sent the burly Liu Baxian flying, and the shockwave of the impact had left him unable to stand steady.

The guest advisor nearby was also filled with horror; they looked at Liu Baxian, their faces full of shock.

Because that incomparably overbearing Liu Baxian now lay limp on the ground as if he had lost his bones, and there was no longer any breath in his body.

"You..." Wang Longyang was seized by fear and wanted to shout.

But Lin Chao did not give him the chance at all.

He first kicked out; a nearby chair flew like a cannonball, smashing directly into the guest advisor's head, the chair leg piercing through his eye and straight through his skull.

Lin Chao paid no heed to the two dead men nearby; his figure flashed, and his hand clamped onto Wang Longyang's throat, lifting him straight up.

"How does it feel?"

Lin Chao looked at the struggling, pained Wang Longyang, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.

"Save..."

Wang Longyang wanted to speak, but with his throat gripped, he could not make a clear sound at all.

"Now, your life is in my hands; as long as I give a gentle squeeze, you will die," Lin Chao said nonchalantly.

He did not like violence, but many things required violence to be resolved.

"Do you regret it?" Lin Chao looked at Wang Longyang.

Wang Longyang whimpered, but he could not speak at all.

Seeing this, Lin Chao said softly: "My apologies, I forgot, you cannot speak right now."

He loosened his hand, and Wang Longyang instantly fell to the ground.

Having fallen to the ground, Wang Longyang gasped for air.

And at this moment, a pungent smell of urine wafted up from the floor.

Lin Chao secretly rejoiced that he had let go early.

Otherwise, wouldn't this Wang Longyang be using chemical weapons to attack him?

This was the kind of thing he had only heard of in his past life in Dali, Yunnan.

Lin Chao looked at Wang Longyang with an expression of disgust.

"You snatched my quota; if you were sensible and returned it to me, everything would be fine.

Now... are you willing to return the quota to me?"

"I will! I will! I will!" Wang Longyang was already scared out of his wits; where was his previous arrogance?

And at this moment, suddenly, a strange taste came from his mouth.

It turned out that just a moment ago, Lin Chao had flicked a small pill into his mouth.

Lin Chao's voice came.

"If you want to live, swallow it."

Wang Longyang immediately understood that this was poison; he instinctively resisted and did not want to swallow.

But with Lin Chao standing right there and the threat of death at his side, he had no choice but to resign himself to swallowing it.

A smile appeared in Lin Chao's eyes: "This is a poison I refined; now your life and death are in my hands. As long as I wish, you will die at any moment."

Following Lin Chao's words, Wang Longyang on the ground suddenly clutched his stomach, letting out a miserable cry of pain.

Lin Chao's voice was like a demonic incantation: "There are twelve doses of the antidote here; take one each month, otherwise you will die.

The subsequent antidotes are in my hands, do you understand?"

Having experienced so many worlds, it was easy for Lin Chao to create some peculiar poisons.

"I understand." Wang Longyang resigned himself to his fate, lying on the ground like a dog.

Lin Chao looked at him and continued, "You are free to find a physician to examine the problems with your body."

Lin Chao did not choose to kill Wang Longyang now.

Offending the Prefect was, after all, a troublesome matter.

This would affect his subsequent advanced studies at Tailin Academy.

Of course, Wang Longyang was actually already a dead man.

He would not necessarily give Wang Longyang the subsequent antidote.

Lin Chao's figure dissipated, and only then did Wang Longyang tremble as he stood up.

He looked at the two corpses in the room, the look of terror in his eyes not yet dissipated.

"Father..." Tears welled up in Wang Longyang's eyes.

Outside Tailin Academy, many students were coming and going.

Today was the final registration time, and also the time for all students to enter the academy.

After entering the academy, these students would begin their studies.

Liu Wenli looked at the crowd, a hint of nervousness in his eyes: "Brother Xia, today is the last day..."

Lin Chao smiled: "It's fine, I have already obtained a spot."

"Ah?" Liu Wenli was a bit bewildered; he did not know what had happened in the past few days.

Lin Chao also did not tell him.

"Young Master Wang is very easy to talk to; I went to find him, and he returned the spot to me," Lin Chao said indifferently.

Liu Wenli was even more bewildered.

He had heard that the Prefect's son was arrogant and domineering, and not a good person at all.

Liu Wenli followed Lin Chao to the registration desk.

Seeing that Lin Chao had truly succeeded in registering, a look of joy appeared on Liu Wenli's face.

"Young Master Wang is truly a good person!"

Lin Chao also smiled.

He was indeed a good person.

When he left Wang Longyang a few days ago, he had even taken several thousand taels of silver banknotes.

As of now, he could also be considered wealthy.

Together with Liu Wenli, Lin Chao entered Tailin Academy.

Tailin Academy was very large, and the entire thing was built on a mountain.

From time to time, one could hear the sound of bells.

Liu Wenli said: "There are a total of three thousand students in Tailin Academy.

The course of study lasts ten years; within ten years, if one cultivates Literary Arts to the Nascent Soul realm, one can graduate and obtain a position in the imperial court.

If one cannot graduate normally, one can only seek another path."

"One can graduate at Nascent Soul?" Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He was currently at the Nascent Soul realm, and furthermore, at the Nascent Soul Mid-stage.

"Sigh, it's a pity; every year, a large number of students are expelled because they cannot graduate normally.

I am currently only at the Golden Core Initial-stage; I don't know if I can enter the Nascent Soul realm after ten years," Liu Wenli's eyes were full of nervousness.

"Is the Nascent Soul realm very difficult?" Lin Chao asked.

"Difficult," Liu Wenli said firmly, "The Nascent Soul is a threshold; its cultivation relies not only on talent but also on grinding through time.

Even for the top geniuses, it takes three years to step from Golden Core into Nascent Soul."

Hearing this, Lin Chao muttered to himself.

His talent was increasing attribute points every day.

Therefore, the part about grinding through time was unnecessary for him.

Stepping into the Nascent Soul realm would naturally be faster for him than for others.
