School flower's personal master

Chapter 12695

Aren't you afraid he'll beat you to death?

Yuan Chu looked at him with a half-smile.

Xia Qinghou said with a serious expression, "For the sake of our Beast God Academy's grand plan, my life or death is nothing to worry about."

Yuan Chu scoffed, "Let's save the slogans for when we get to the Beast God Academy."

If anyone believed even half a word of this nonsense, he wouldn't be Yuan Chu.

Xia Qinghou showed no embarrassment whatsoever and naturally changed the subject: "Brother Yuan, when are we setting off for the Beast God Academy?"

The others all perked up their ears.

So far, they haven't paid any price.

But now Tianjun is Lin Yi's Tianjun after all. They took advantage of Tianwu Hall for nothing, and then openly betrayed Lin Yi. Who can guarantee that they won't be punished later?

Every single one of them had the most urgent thought at that moment: to hurry to the Beast God Academy and fulfill the benefits that Yuan Chuxu had given them.

Yuan Chu looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, I've already made contact with the academy. However, we still don't have enough people. The Beast God Academy is personally poaching people, yet we couldn't even empty out the mere Tianwu Hall. Wouldn't that make us a laughing stock?"

The establishment of the Beast God Academy in Tianjun is an unchangeable plan.

If he were to stand by and watch Lin Yi use the Tianwu Hall to consolidate Tianjun, Yuan Chu's value as a pawn of the local tyrant would be greatly diminished. Whether for public or private reasons, he could not sit idly by.

No matter what, Tianwu Hall must collapse!

Xia Qinghou tentatively asked, "Then I'll go again tomorrow?"

Yuan Chu casually replied, "That works too."

"..."

Xia Qinghou's face darkened.

The whole thing was already a huge risk. If they keep pushing their luck and Lin Yi really slaps him to death, he won't even have a proper burial site to cry to.

He joined the Beast God Academy for a bright future, not to become cannon fodder.

Xia Qinghou awkwardly tried to smooth things over, saying, "However, the remaining people are stubborn and incorrigible. Tianwu Hall will definitely intensify its brainwashing efforts on them. I'm worried that even if we go tomorrow, the effect may not be very good."

Yuan Chu glanced at him sideways: "Then think of another way? If you can't think of one, you'll have to go and recruit people tomorrow."

Xia Qinghou quickly said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible?"

"Tell me."

Yuan Chu looked at him with amusement.

He saw through this person's true nature perfectly. Despite his current respectful attitude, the person could betray him in a heartbeat once given the chance.

He's just a simple little guy.

Yuan Chu looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, but as a temporary tool, he was just the right size.

Xia Qinghou said solemnly, "I believe the best way to destroy the Tianwu Hall is to expand its influence."

"Since the secret techniques they teach are all castrated versions, while we have more powerful advanced versions, the difference is indescribable."

"Why don't we just have a grand competition of secret arts!"

Yuan Chu became interested: "What kind of secret arts competition is it?"

Xia Qinghou's eyes lit up as he said, "Let's go all out to create momentum and invite all the important figures from all sides of Tianjun to come. Let's have a good fight with those people from Tianwu Hall in front of them!"

"Let's use the same secret technique to show everyone the difference between their Heavenly Martial Hall and our Beast God Academy!"

"Once they suffer a crushing defeat, Tianwu Hall will naturally become a laughing stock and collapse on its own!"

"By then, even the dumbest person will know what to choose."

Yuan Chu pondered for a moment: "This method is not bad."

With his current strength, even with the Beast God Academy backing him, he has no way to go head-to-head with Lin Yi.

The last time served as a cautionary tale.

Starting with public opinion is indeed a good approach.

Most of the media outlets in Tianjun obeyed Lin Yi, but with the Yuan family's resources, it wouldn't be difficult for him to create some momentum.

After a pause, Yuan Chu took out a bottle of pills and tossed it to Xia Qinghou: "These are secret technique enhancement pills. They can stimulate potential in a short time and quickly improve your mastery of secret techniques. You guys can share them."

"Thank you very much, Brother Yuan!"

Xia Qinghou was overjoyed and accepted it.

Yuan Chu instructed, "I will have someone create momentum right away. You all need to master the secret technique as quickly as possible in the next two days. When the time comes, I want you to demonstrate absolute strength and completely crush their confidence!"

Xia Qinghou and the others responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Three days later, at the Tianwu Hall martial arts arena.

All the important figures in Tianjun were present.

The open rivalry between the Beast God Academy and the Heavenly Martial Hall is a major event concerning the future of the entire Tianjun County, and no one can afford to be absent from such a matter.

Most importantly, Lin Yi did not deliberately send people to suppress it; instead, he went with the flow.

Otherwise, given his current influence, even if he couldn't completely suppress the gossip, he could at least ruin this so-called secret arts competition and greatly diminish its influence.

However, it does not.

"Brother Lin's willingness to agree so readily is a testament to your magnanimity, which is worthy of your title as the Lord of Tianjun."

Yuan Chu arrived with his entourage and greeted Lin Yi with a smile.

Behind him, Xia Qinghou and more than forty others stood in a row, each wearing the iconic wolf-head cloak of the Beast God Academy, each exuding confidence and arrogance.

On the other hand, the people from the Tianwu Hall were noticeably more reserved and calm.

The contrast is striking.

Lin Yi said calmly, "It's good to have a competition. If you just shut yourself in and work in isolation, you'll inevitably fail to recognize your own position and become a frog in a well, which would be troublesome."

Yuan Chu raised an eyebrow: "Brother Lin, are you perhaps referring to yourself?"

Lin Yi smiled slightly: "Let's encourage each other."

"To be honest..."

Yuan Chu hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lin, if you are willing to leave this small pond of Tianjun, I can make a deal with the higher-ups and recommend you to the Beast God Academy."

How much sincerity was behind those words remains to be seen.

However, if Lin Yi is truly interested, the Beast God Academy would definitely be happy to see it happen.

Lin Yi asked playfully, "Brother Yuan, aren't you afraid I'll steal your ecological niche?"

Yuan Chu's greatest value to the Beast God Academy was as the local strongman of Tianjun.

Once Lin Yi becomes an even bigger pawn, Yuan Chu will either be kicked out or become a marginal nobody.

If they try to extract resources from the Beast God Academy later, it won't be so easy for them to do so.

"ecological niche?"

Yuan Chu realized what was going on and his expression changed immediately, but he still smiled and said, "Do I look like such a petty person?"

That being said, they never mentioned that suggestion again.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the grand competition of secret arts officially began, witnessed by various influential figures.

Yuan Chu gave Xia Qinghou a look.

Xia Qinghou was the first to step forward: "I practice the Three Forms of the Ephemeral Flower. I wonder which brother from the Heavenly Martial Hall would like to offer his guidance?"

No one responded from Tianwu Hall for a moment.

Although there were more than fifty of them, very few of them had mastered the Three Styles of the Ephemeral Flower, as this secret technique was indeed quite difficult to learn.

Even those who had mastered the Three Styles of the Ephemeral Flower had made limited progress.

They had absolutely no confidence in taking the next step. (End of Chapter)
