Chapter 235: The Academy Trembles

"Aaaah!" Jin Wuhui's cry immediately turned into the Demon Beast's howl.

Ye Liuyun kept striking without pause, a fist punching a hole through Jin Wuhui's chest, shattering his heart completely as well.

Then Ye Liuyun delivered another fist, smashing down on Jin Wuhui's head!

Ye Liuyun was worried that some old man might intervene, so his punches came faster and faster.

"Boom—" a blast instantly pulverized Jin Wuhui's skull.

Immediately, he also withdrew his Divine Sense.

Some timid female disciples shrieked and dared not look up at the stage again.

The other disciples fell silent.

Everyone witnessed Ye Liuyun's ferocious battle.

Ye Liuyun's rise has become unstoppable, destined to awe the Academy.

Even the Protector of Clear River Pavilion was eliminated. Next, only the Pavilion Master of Clear River Pavilion remains. It seems Ye Liuyun now truly has the strength to confront Clear River Pavilion.

If Ye Liuyun continues to grow for a while, no one will be able to stop him.

In the distance, Pavilion Master Zhou Qingjiang of Clear River Pavilion sensed the threat and was about to rush over.

Suddenly, the Grand Elder's oppressive aura pressed in from afar. He sent a Transmission Voice with his Divine Sense, coldly asking Zhou Qingjiang, "What? Do you still intend a wheel battle against my disciple?"

Zhou Qingjiang froze on the spot, daring not move. It seemed he could not seize the opportunity now and would have to devise a way to deal with Ye Liuyun later.

The Grand Elder also realized that Ye Liuyun's few punches had exhausted him greatly, which is why he intervened to block Zhou Qingjiang.

Ye Liuyun called Lei Ming, retrieved Jin Wuhui's Storage Ring, and then cheerfully led everyone back to Lingyun Pavilion.

Many disciples immediately followed, expressing a desire to join Lingyun Pavilion, and Ye Liuyun assigned the Iron Army to handle it uniformly.

He went to the Merit Hall, exchanged some pills and Transmission Talismans used by the disciples, then sent them back to the Iron Army to devise reward and punishment measures, distributing them appropriately to contributing members.

Then he inspected the Storage Rings of Jin Wuhui and Li Xuanbing, keeping only a few Holy Artifacts and False Holy Artifacts; the rest—Flying Boats, pills, Crystal Stones and other items—were given to the Iron Army.

Inside Jin Wuhui's Storage Ring there was also a map. Ye Liuyun glanced at it; it bore the words "Xuan Kong Secret Realm". He didn't know its purpose, so he temporarily kept it.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun took Lei Ming back to his residence and began cultivating in peace.

He felt that after this battle, Clear River Pavilion would no longer dare to trouble Lingyun Pavilion directly. Moreover, since he remains within the Sect, they can simply shout a Transmission Talisman if anything arises, and Ye Liuyun can come over easily.

After this fight, his realm became more stable, so further breakthroughs will no longer worry him about instability.

Thus he will seclude himself to prepare for a breakthrough, then go to Crimson Soul Cave and Rift Sky Gorge to cultivate Spiritual Soul and Blade Intent.

After returning, he immediately swallowed the Bone‑Marrow Purifying Pill, using its power to cleanse his Bloodline Power and body again.

He had used the Bone‑Marrow Purifying Pill before, so a second use wouldn't be as effective. Fortunately, this one is a Heaven Tier premium, so it still works somewhat, expelling many impurities from his Bloodline Power and Physical Body, making both purer.

At the same time, the pill promotes the condensation of his True Essence. He also uses True Essence to reinforce the Qi Sea Barrier and expand the Qi Sea as much as possible.

Now his residence is rich in spiritual energy, and he worries not about a shortage. Moreover, the Cultivation Room is extremely sturdy, so he need not fear his breakthrough's aura affecting others.

With full effort in the breakthrough, the sixth Qi vortex within his Qi Sea slowly formed, then rapidly absorbed surrounding spiritual energy; six spiraling vortices of spiritual energy appeared beside him, pouring into his body in a torrent.

Breakthrough to the Sixth Sea Transformation realm!

At this moment, the liquefied True Essence has almost filled his Qi Sea, leaving little space. When he reaches the Seventh Sea Transformation, he will truly only be able to condense and solidify True Essence.

Originally he could have broken through in the Ice‑Fire Secret Realm, but he was suppressed until now. Yet this suppression has its benefits; his True Essence is much more condensed than others', ensuring he can continuously challenge higher realms.

He now feels that challenging four realms at once is already taxing, requiring frequent Spiritual Soul Attacks for assistance.

Therefore he must condense True Essence as much as possible and not rush the breakthrough, lest he lose his advantage in cross‑realm challenges.

He could actually rely on accumulated spiritual energy and various rare treasures to break through to the Eighth or Ninth Sea Transformations, but that holds little meaning, as his actual combat power would not increase significantly.

Just as he finished the breakthrough and solidified his realm, the Grand Elder's Divine Sense suddenly reached out, summoning him over, saying there was good news for him.

He hurriedly stopped cultivating and went to see his master.

"Master, I wonder what the good news is?" Ye Liuyun asked directly upon seeing the Grand Elder.

"Hehe, don't be impatient, follow me; the Dean wants to see you! He has already witnessed your Bloodline Power! That's good for you. He values you, so you'll be safer in the Academy," the Grand Elder said cheerfully to Ye Liuyun.

"Understood," Ye Liuyun replied, then followed his master to see the Dean.

The Grand Elder did not accompany him, wanting to see how fast Ye Liuyun could soar through the air on his own.

But he found that Ye Liuyun was not much slower. Ye Liuyun's Lingkong Art greatly aided his aerial movement during the Grand Elder's idle soaring.

Although he cannot command the sky like a saint, each of his aerial leaps covers a distance several times that of an ordinary Martial Cultivator in the Sea Transformation realm, so his speed is not slow.

The Grand Elder now looks at this disciple with increasing satisfaction, feeling his efforts in cultivating him were not wasted.

Ye Liuyun not only advances his realm quickly, but also improves in all other aspects at a rapid pace.

Thus the Grand Elder guessed that Ye Liuyun's Bloodline Power still has hidden reserves, and quite a lot of it.

So he used his Divine Sense to remind Ye Liuyun: "Bloodline Power, you have already shown enough. Revealing more would not benefit you further. Whether to expose it all is up to you."

"Disciple understands! Then from now on, when I'm outside, I will only display the Bloodline Power unleashed by that one punch; the rest need not be shown," Ye Liuyun answered with his Divine Sense.

The Grand Elder nodded in agreement and said nothing more.

He directly escorted Ye Liuyun to the Academy's main peak, entered the Grand Hall to report, then led him to the Dean's residence.

The Dean's residence was quite ordinary, like a common household courtyard, fenced outside, with a white‑haired elder watering plants inside.

"Dean!" the Grand Elder bowed respectfully to the white‑haired elder watering the plants.

"Huh? So this is the Dean?" Ye Liuyun wondered. He sensed no cultivation aura on the elder at all.

Nevertheless, he still bowed to the white‑haired elder.

"Don't be formal, come in and sit!" the elder finally set down what he was holding and invited them into the courtyard.

They arrived at a stone table; the Dean and Grand Elder sat down, while Ye Liuyun stood beside the Grand Elder.
