Medical and Martial God

”Gongsun Shu, beat him up. He’s no match for you.”

The strange young man also egged Gongsun Shu on to beat up ”Lei Xiaoming.”

They didn’t dare kill someone in public, especially not Lei Xiaoming, but roughing him up a bit was no problem.

”This...”

Gongsun Shu hesitated.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of Lei Xiaoming, nor that he lacked confidence in beating Lei Xiaoming.

The main thing was, he was worried he’d beat Lei Xiaoming into awakening again!

”Sha Junji, you’re Third Realm too. You fight Lei Xiaoming, I’ll back you up.”

Gongsun Shu said to the strange young man.

So this guy was from the Sha Family... Ye Xiu looked at Sha Junji, and in his heart had already sentenced this guy to death.

”Gongsun Shu’s right. Sha Junji, with your strength, beating up Lei Xiaoming is more than easy. You go.”

Zhuge Xiaoxiao saw Gongsun Shu shrinking back and immediately started hyping up Sha Junji.

”Works for me!”

Sha Junji agreed readily, rolled up his sleeves, and provoked Ye Xiu:

”Lei Xiaoming, I’m challenging you right now. Do you dare accept?”

Been wanting to kill you anyway... Ye Xiu answered just as readily:

”Fine, I accept.”

Sha Junji secretly rejoiced when he heard that, viciously resolving that in a bit he’d beat Lei Xiaoming half to death to avenge his brother-in-law.

The grandson-in-law of Sha Lidong that Ye Xiu killed last night was precisely Sha Junji’s brother-in-law.

And when Zhuge Xiaoxiao and Gongsun Shu saw Ye Xiu accept, they were overjoyed. In their eyes, they were both Third Realm, and ”Lei Xiaoming” had only awakened yesterday—there was no way he was Sha Junji’s match.

The teachers and students watching saw that ”Lei Xiaoming” and Sha Junji were about to fight and immediately backed far away. Martial culture ran strong in the Royal City, and duels were common. As long as nobody got killed, the law wouldn’t interfere.

Besides, they also wanted to see just how much the Lei Xiaoming who’d been slapped into awakening by Gongsun Shu was actually worth.

”Lei Xiaoming, you only awakened yesterday. So people don’t say I’m bullying you, I’ll let you strike first.” Sha Junji said arrogantly.

”You sure?” Ye Xiu asked.

”Quit talking shit. I’m letting you strike first so you strike first. But I’m only giving you one shot. Once I make a move, you won’t have any chance to hit ba—”

Crack!

Before Sha Junji could finish, a bolt of Thunder dropped from the sky and slammed into the top of his head, forcibly blasting the words he hadn’t finished back down his throat.

Sha Junji’s whole body convulsed as he collapsed to the ground, still twitching, foaming at the mouth with blood in the bubbles as he convulsed. The strike had blasted him totally senseless.

”This...”

Gongsun Shu and Zhuge Xiaoxiao’s faces changed drastically.

Same Third Realm War God, and yet Sha Junji couldn’t even take a single move from Lei Xiaoming, who’d only awakened yesterday.

The watching teachers and students were all shocked by ”Lei Xiaoming’s” power. He’d only awakened yesterday, and today he could instant-kill someone of the same rank?

No!

Not today—last night!

Lei Xiaoming had slaughtered his way down several streets last night and killed 112 assassins.

No way!

Could Lei Xiaoming be that legendary combat genius, who, right after awakening, didn’t need to accumulate Combat Experience and already had the power to instant-kill his peers?

”Sha Junji, right?”

Ye Xiu walked up to Sha Junji, who was twitching on the ground and foaming at the mouth, and said with contempt:

”How the hell did you get into Yunluo Academy? You pay your way in through the back door? With an IQ like yours, even graduating kindergarten would be a struggle. Last night, your Gongsun Family, Zhuge Family, and Sha Family sent so many assassins to kill me, and not only did they fail, I killed 112 of them in return, including dozens of Third Realm War Gods. Did you really not grasp the gap between you and me?”

What?

The watching teachers and students almost cried out in shock.

The 112 assassins killed by Lei Xiaoming last night were actually all sent by the Gongsun Family, Zhuge Family, and Sha Family?

”Lei Xiaoming, y-you’re slandering us.”

Gongsun Shu rushed to deny and explain. Killing in the Royal City was a major crime. If ”Lei Xiaoming” exposed this in public, even without hard evidence, it would still throw the three great families right into the center of the storm.

If things blew up, the Official Family would have no choice but to step in and investigate the three great families.

”Lei Xiaoming, stop smearing us. Do you have any proof that last night’s assassins came from the Gongsun Family, Zhuge Family, and Sha Family? Without evidence, you’re just framing us.”

Zhuge Xiaoxiao was sharp; she not only refuted Ye Xiu’s words but also turned the tables on him.

Go on, show your evidence!

If you don’t have evidence, you’re just framing us. See you in court!

”Do you dare swear that last night’s assassins weren’t sent by your three families?” Ye Xiu asked.

”I do!” Zhuge Xiaoxiao said calmly.

Ye Xiu shrugged. ”Good, then swear it out loud in front of everyone: last night’s assassins weren’t from the three great families. If they were, then Zhuge Xiaoxiao will get her period four times a month, each time lasting a week...”

Uh!

Zhuge Xiaoxiao was struck dumb!

She didn’t dare make that kind of vicious oath!

The watching teachers and students clicked their tongues, staring at Ye Xiu, thinking this guy was seriously ruthless, forcing Zhuge Xiaoxiao to swear such a nasty oath.

”Swear it. Didn’t you just swear up and down that last night’s assassins weren’t sent by your three families? Go on then, swear.” Ye Xiu urged with amusement.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao: ”...”

Seeing Zhuge Xiaoxiao didn’t dare swear, Gongsun Shu hurriedly pressed her:

”Zhuge Xiaoxiao, hurry up and swear. Use an oath to show Lei Xiaoming and everyone that last night’s assassins weren’t from our three great families.”

Zhuge Xiaoxiao almost couldn’t stop herself from kicking Gongsun Shu to death. Easy for you to say. If the assassins really weren’t from the three families, then fine, I’d swear;

But the problem is, the assassins really were from the three families. If I swear and the oath comes true, then what?”

In terms of superstition, people of the Eternal Kingdom were even more devout than the people of any other country in the world!

Because the people of the Eternal Kingdom had worshipped the Temple for over two thousand years.

”Everyone saw that, right?”

Ye Xiu swept his gaze over the watching teachers and students and smiled:

”Zhuge Xiaoxiao doesn’t dare swear. That proves that the assassins who came to kill me last night were indeed sent by the Zhuge Family, Gongsun Family, and Sha Family.”

”Bullshit!” Gongsun Shu cursed angrily.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao was anxious too. ”Me not daring to swear doesn’t prove the assassins were sent by our three families. Lei Xiaoming, if you keep framing us, I—I’ll sue you.”

The watching teachers and students all sighed. From Zhuge Xiaoxiao’s attitude, expression, tone, and everything else, they already believed that last night’s assassins were sent by the Zhuge Family, Gongsun Family, and Sha Family.

But there was no real evidence!

Oaths couldn’t be used as legal proof!

”Sha Junji!”

Ye Xiu ignored Gongsun Shu and Zhuge Xiaoxiao and turned instead to look at Sha Junji, asking:

”Those assassins who came to kill me last night, were they sent by your three families?”

Sha Junji lay on the ground, endlessly twitching and foaming, ignoring Ye Xiu.

Crack!

A bolt of Thunder dropped from the sky and struck Sha Junji.

”Well?” Ye Xiu asked.

Sha Junji kept twitching and foaming, still ignoring Ye Xiu!

Crack!

Another bolt of Thunder slammed into Sha Junji!

”Were they?” Ye Xiu kept asking.

Hiss!

The watching teachers and students all felt their scalps crawl. Ye Xiu’s method of interrogation terrified them; this was straight-up torture.

Gongsun Shu roared, ”Lei Xiaoming, are you trying to kill Sha Junji? I’m warning you, Sha Junji is the grandson of Sha Lidong, head of the Sha Family. If you kill him in public, you’re challenging the Sha Family itself, and no one will be able to protect you!”

Zhuge Xiaoxiao added, ”The Eternal Kingdom’s laws clearly state: a life for a life.”

Ye Xiu looked coldly at the two of them and said, ”So you’re allowed to send assassins to kill me, but I’m not allowed to kill you?”

”You’re talking nonsense. You don’t have any evidence that last night’s assassins were from our three families.” Gongsun Shu argued.

Crack!

Ye Xiu stomped down and snapped Sha Junji’s neck, then looked down over Gongsun Shu and Zhuge Xiaoxiao, domineering and wild:

”When I kill, I don’t need evidence.”
