On the field, only Lin Mengmeng, Xuanyang, and Wang Wenjian remained with their usual expressions, showing unwavering trust in Ji Mo.
The rest were filled with burning anger, wishing they could devour Ji Mo alive.
"Elder Liu, is it? It's not that I have foresight, but your Holy Plume Academy has great foresight. Knowing that our Langya Academy is about to rise, you decisively chose to merge with us, which shows considerable courage. Don't worry, we won't mistreat you. From now on, just follow us and enjoy the good life. Our Langya Academy will lead you to greatness and help you stand at the pinnacle of the world."
Ji Mo said earnestly.
He had heard Song Zhenwei praise his three students as peerless prodigies who would surely become great figures shaking the world, and that Langya Academy would achieve glory in their hands.
Furthermore, he observed that Langya Academy's fortune had been prosperous and its progress rapid recently, truly indicating a trend of great prosperity.
Under such circumstances, it was perfectly normal for Holy Plume Academy to merge in.
"You, what did you say, cough cough..."
Liu Song was stunned, clutching his chest, so enraged that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
He felt like a complete fool being played, and roared, "Get it straight, it's our Holy Plume Academy that is annexing your Langya Academy, not Langya annexing Holy Plume."
Ji Mo frowned, "Ah? How can you be so shameless? Our Langya is about to prosper, and we're willing to give you Holy Plume a helping hand. Don't push your luck and be insatiably greedy."
Liu Song's liver ached with anger. How could this guy be even more shameless than him? Your Langya is on the verge of collapse, what great prosperity are you talking about?
"Damn Ji Mo, you made me worry for nothing."
Song Weixi chuckled, amused. She felt Ji Mo must have been deliberately teasing her just now; he was too mischievous.
However, for some reason, she inexplicably found him quite likable.
The more she looked at Ji Mo, the more pleasing he became to her eyes.
"Mr. Ji, you're awesome!"
The teachers and students of Langya Academy roared inwardly, feeling immensely vindicated.
This was a true man, daring to confront Holy Plume Academy in such a manner; he was so resolute!
Feng Wei felt his face burning. He had thought Ji Mo was a spineless fellow like himself, but he didn't expect Ji Mo to be so formidable, giving Liu Song no face at all.
In comparison, this made him seem incredibly pathetic.
"Unable to judge the situation, trying to show off and offending Holy Plume Academy, let's see how you die."
Feng Wei sneered inwardly, convinced that Ji Mo would meet a terrible end.
"You refuse to accept what's good for you. Our Holy Plume Academy annexing Langya is for your own good. If you don't know any better, Langya Academy will be finished this year."
Liu Song threatened loudly.
He had the confidence to back this up. If Holy Plume Academy was determined to crush Langya Academy, it could succeed by paying a certain price.
"It's you who refuses to accept what's good for you."
Ji Mo was unfazed by the threat and said calmly, "Didn't you say we're all trash? Then let's settle this with strength. My students will challenge your five good-for-nothings. Whoever wins annexes the other."
"It's a deal."
Liu Song agreed immediately, then looked at Song Weixi and asked, "Can this person represent Langya Academy?"
"Yes!"
Song Weixi nodded, feeling completely at ease with Ji Mo at this moment.
Liu Song's smile widened. Even Feng Wei, ranked first, was no match. What other impressive students could Langya Academy possibly have?
Victory was surely theirs, and Langya Academy would soon be within their grasp.
He cast a venomous glance at the blond-haired youth, signaling him to show no mercy and kill without hesitation.
He intended to use bloodshed to make everyone on the field understand the consequences of offending him.
"Wenjian, teach them how to behave."
Ji Mo instructed, confident that with Wang Wenjian's strength, he could handle those few students from Holy Plume Academy.
"Yes, sir."
Wang Wenjian, carrying his willow-leaf long saber, strode forward.
"Heh, a mere trash who just entered the Spirit Saint realm, I can cripple you with one slap."
The blond-haired youth sneered disdainfully, not taking Wang Wenjian seriously at all.
Even Feng Wei couldn't last ten moves against him. This person before him would surely be crippled or even killed within three moves.
"Mr. Ji asked me to teach you how to behave. Your mouth is too foul; it needs to be corrected."
Wang Wenjian said calmly, his right hand resting on the saber's hilt.
"I'll just call you trash, what are you going to do about it..."
The blond-haired youth grinned widely.
But the next second, his pupils contracted. He found that Wang Wenjian had already vanished from his spot.
When he could track the other's figure again, he saw a saber sheath, like a viper emerging from its hole, accurately shoved into his mouth.
Immediately, a surge of dark energy erupted within the blond-haired youth's mouth.
"Ah..."
The blond-haired youth screamed, his mouth full of blood. A large portion of his teeth were shattered, and his tongue was a bloody mess, almost torn into minced meat.
This was still Wang Wenjian holding back. If he had unsheathed his saber, he could have pierced the blond-haired youth's throat with a single strike, severing his head.
"Die, I will kill you."
The blond-haired youth let out a beast-like roar and lunged furiously at Wang Wenjian.
A saber gleam suddenly flashed, directly sending him flying.
The blond-haired youth crashed heavily onto the ground, a shocking wound appearing on his chest, his face ashen.
"Elder Liu, your Holy Plume Academy students are too weak, aren't they? Our side hasn't even drawn their sabers yet."
Song Weixi teased with a smile, avenging the earlier mockery.
Liu Song's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected Langya Academy to be so deeply hidden, harboring such a genius.
"Elder Liu, don't just stand there blankly. Didn't you say that whoever wins one match gets rewarded with an Epic weapon? Bring it out, don't try to renege."
Song Weixi continued to provoke, feeling immensely pleased.
"It's just an Epic weapon; why would I renege?"
Liu Song gritted his teeth and said, immediately producing an Epic-grade weapon.
"Not one, but five. I want to teach all four of your remaining students a lesson."
Wang Wenjian pointed at the other four students from Holy Plume Academy.
Liu Song staggered, staring intently at Wang Wenjian, and said with murderous intent, "Kill him, send this arrogant brat to hell."
Instantly, a young man stepped forward, "Don't be so arrogant. Junior Brother Huang was just caught off guard and you managed to ambush him. I am ranked twenty-fourth among the students of Holy Plume Academy. It is your supreme honor to be defeated by me."
This young man's aura was several times stronger than the blond-haired youth's. He felt that as long as he was careful, defeating Wang Wenjian should be easy.
He chose to attack proactively, but as soon as he got close, Wang Wenjian struck him down with a saber to the waist.
The young man curled up like a shrimp, lying limply on the ground, twitching all over, completely losing his ability to resist.
"Aren't you just fast with your saber? What's there to be so proud of? In front of my movement techniques, it's nothing, ah..."
Another student from Holy Plume Academy attacked. His movement techniques were extremely skillful, and he transformed into countless afterimages, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was covered by countless saber gleams. In an instant, his clothes were all torn, and he collapsed in a pool of blood.
The remaining two students also unleashed their most powerful divine abilities, but ultimately, they could not escape the fate of being struck down by a saber.
In a short while, all five students from Holy Plume Academy were defeated and lying on the ground by Wang Wenjian.
