Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Hearing that young man's voice of surrender, Duan Gujin's eyes flashed with cold light as he said icily, "Since you've stepped onto the arena, don't casually speak of surrender! You provoked me earlier, now you want to run away just like that? It won't be easy! You must pay the price for your actions! I have already told you before! You have to pay the price!"

With a flicker of his body, he turned into a residual image and disappeared into the void.

The young man's complexion changed drastically, he didn't utter another word and tried to run under the arena; his only thought was that he must escape below the stage.

Star Moon Academy had a rule for arena fights; if a person is beaten off the arena or runs off themselves, the victor must not initiate any further attacks on the loser.

The crowd saw only a residual image flash before their eyes, and then saw that the young man was pulled back onto the arena.

A moment later, the students of Star Moon Academy heard a crisp crack, followed by an incredibly piercing scream.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the young man's arm had been broken, and he was lying on the arena wailing like a ghost or howling like a wolf.

"My god! That young man's arm has been broken!"

The crowd quickly came to a realization, and immediately looked at Duan Gujin with a trace of fear.

"What a ruthless person! It seems he's not to be trifled with!"

After Duan Gujin had personally broken the arm of the young man, his body flickered, and he descended from the stage.

He had achieved his previous objective; he wanted to use this opportunity to deter those in the Duan Family who still wished to challenge him.

If he didn't show severity towards those in the Duan Family who challenged him, there still would be many in the family attempting to provoke him!

The news of Duan Gujin defeating a young man with Eighth Level Red Innate soon spread throughout Star Moon Academy, informing the students that there was a cultivator among the new freshmen of the Genius Class who had opened up his second Martial Meridian.

In Country Gulai, a cultivator who opens up a second Martial Meridian before the age of twenty can definitely be regarded as a genius.

Therefore, Duan Gujin, not yet seventeen but having already opened his second Martial Meridian and even breaking through to the Innate First Level, was undoubtedly a devil among the genius students of Star Moon Academy!

Very soon, this news reached the ears of Cao Wentian.

"Unexpected! The true combat power of Duan Gujin is so terrifying!"

Cao Wentian analyzed carefully and knew that if he were to face Duan Gujin in a decisive battle, he would not be a match for him at all.

He exhaled a breath of air, then once again called over his subordinates, instructing them to sell some of the treasures he had collected over the years; he needed to cash in some Gold Coins.

"For the sake of getting Teacher Meng Yun, this time, I'm going to spend a fortune!"

A shimmer flashed in the eyes of Cao Wentian, as he contemplated how to allocate resources to hire a master to assassinate Duan Gujin.

As Cao Wentian pondered over how to deal with Duan Gujin, suddenly, he received a summons from his father.

"What could my dad want at a time like this?"

Filled with curiosity, Cao Wentian went to the main hall and met his father, Cao Dingtian.

Cao Dingtian was a middle-aged fat man, corpulent, his bloated face seeming like it could squeeze out water.

Beside Cao Dingtian were several young women clad in light gauze, who massaged his chest and fed him fruit pieces by piece.

"Father, you wanted to see me?"

Cao Wentian simply turned a blind eye to the scene before him.

His lascivious character derived from his father, to which he had quickly become accustomed.

Cao Dingtian asked, "Wentian, I heard that you've recently butted heads with a disciple from the Duan Family; is this true?"

"It's true, that Duan Family disciple wants to take my woman. So, I want to eliminate him!"

Cao Wentian said.

"So, that's how it is! Then I'll tell you, it's best not to alert the enemy by acting rashly now. That person from the Duan Family is a friend of one of my political rivals. To eliminate that rival of mine, I will inevitably make a move against the Duan Family sooner or later. But I still need to make more preparations right now. Don't provoke the Duan Family yet, as to not tip them off. Understand?"

"I understand!"

When Cao Dingtian spoke, Cao Wentian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was overjoyed.

"Haha! Duan Gujin, you wouldn't have expected that my father will definitely annihilate your entire family in the future!"

Cao Wentian knew how ruthless and decisive his father Cao Dingtian was, and he was sure that his father would eliminate all of his political rivals and those who were friendly with them.

Only by doing so could Cao Dingtian be at ease.

Since Cao Dingtian had plans to deal with the Duan Family, Cao Wentian stopped pondering and decided to follow his father's orders.

A day later, Duan Yi sent someone to call for Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin kept the appointment and saw Duan Yi.

Upon meeting, Duan Yi immediately asked about Ye Wanghui's matter.

Duan Gujin went over the details and said to Duan Yi, "Family Head, any family that has come to the point where the Duan Family is now is actually in great danger. One must be very careful, as there is always the risk of annihilation. I hope the Family Head will focus more on having the family's disciples cultivate to improve their cultivation, rather than engaging in infighting!"

"Yes, you're absolutely right! Gujin, if the Duan Family encounters trouble, do you think your Master can help?"

Duan Yi asked, with a flicker in his eyes.

"Family Head, tell me if there's any trouble the Duan Family might face, so I can inform my Master about it and see if he can make some preparations for the Duan Family. For example, I could ask my Master to prepare some poisonous pills to deal with enemies."

Hearing Duan Yi's words, Duan Gujin immediately tried to tease out some useful information, eager to see if he could extract anything from Duan Yi.

"It's not really a big deal. Our Duan Family has a very good relationship with a minister in the court. Recently, I received an invitation from that minister to protect him! So, in the next year or two, I will have someone else take over my current position," Duan Yi said.

Upon hearing what Duan Yi said, Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly shone brightly.

He immediately recalled everything he had experienced in the past. At the time of the Duan Family's fall, the head of the Duan Family Patriarch Duan Yi was thrown into the Duan Family Courtyard.

Although Duan Gujin eliminated the bandits who destroyed the Duan Family, who threw Duan Yi's head into the Duan Family Courtyard remained a mystery.

Duan Gujin's heart pounded violently, knowing that today he might finally learn the truth.

"Family Head, if you really want my Master to help you, then you have to tell me what your position is within the court of Country Gulai!" Duan Gujin urgently asked.

"I'm friends with the current Minister of Military Affairs, and he has invited me to join him in opposing Prime Minister Cao Dingtian!"

Duan Yi said.

Hearing this, Duan Gujin's expression changed dramatically, and he suddenly understood why the Duan Family had been exterminated.

"So, our Duan Family was caught up in the power struggle within Country Gulai! No wonder!"

Duan Gujin hadn't found the truth or the real culprit before because he had realized it too late.

By the time he had enough power to return, all the evidence had been completely destroyed by the enemy.

"That's the case! Then Family Head, rest assured, I will ask my Master to give you some Elixir Recipes for super poisonous pills, so you can make some to defend yourself!" Duan Gujin said.

"Gujin, if your Master only gives you the Elixir Recipe, I won't be able to make the Advanced Poison Pills. I do not know Alchemy, and there probably isn't an Alchemist in Country Gulai who can help me make high-grade poison pills."

"Right, right, I'd forgotten!" Duan Gujin hastily replied.

After a while, he then said, "Family Head, when will you depart for the Minister of Military Affairs' home?"

Duan Yi hesitated for a moment before replying to Duan Gujin, "In ten days!"

"Then please wait for me in these ten days, Family Head. I'll see what poison pills I can prepare for you. Family Head, I'll write down the Elixir Recipe for you later, so you can gather the Spiritual Medicine. Then I will do everything I can to help you with Alchemy. I hope the Alchemy taught to me by my Master can assist the Duan Family."

"Good! I agree!" Duan Yi nodded in response.
