Chapter 24 The Threat of the First Academy

A drop of essence blood was far more potent than the blood of ordinary fierce beasts.

Ye Ningze had to rely on such precious essence blood to temper himself and enhance his strength!

He sat cross-legged in the valley, golden light swirling around him, emitting a dazzling radiance!

On his skin, golden energy waves continuously impacted his physical body, subjecting it to immense pressure and causing him pain.

His body trembled slightly, but he gritted his teeth, refusing to give up, enduring the pressure!

His body quivered incessantly, and his face contorted strangely, appearing both in agony and enjoyment, its expressions utterly inscrutable.

Meanwhile, the essence blood of the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python continued to rage within Ye Ningze.

This essence blood not only served to temper the physical body but also promoted the potential and strength of martial artists!

At this moment, Ye Ningze felt like a small boat adrift in a vast ocean, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

The essence blood of the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python was incredibly fierce, and Ye Ningze was enduring unimaginable pain.

Had it been someone with even slightly weaker willpower, they would have fainted long ago!

Such an outcome would render the tempering utterly meaningless, a mere waste of precious beast blood.

Ye Ningze was no weak-willed individual. He gritted his teeth, enduring the immense pain, and continuously circulated the true essence within his body.

Ah...

Ye Ningze roared, bearing the intense agony.

I will not give up!

Ye Ningze clenched his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead and rolling down his cheeks like tiny pearls.

Ye Ningze felt as if his internal organs were being torn apart by the pain.

Yet, Ye Ningze remained silent.

The golden light on Ye Ningze's body intensified, his skin taking on a faint golden hue.

Ye Ningze felt his body had become many times sturdier than before, with surging true essence faintly visible within.

Flashes of golden light flickered across Ye Ningze's skin, emitting a dazzling golden glow.

The essence blood of the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python had indeed transformed Ye Ningze's body!

His physique became more resilient, his skin tougher, and his strength increased significantly. His speed quickened, and his explosive power far surpassed that of ordinary individuals!

The true essence within his body also became much purer.

His strength successfully broke through from the Martial Disciple realm to become an Elite Martial Artist!

Ye Ningze was now a true Elite Martial Artist!

At this moment, Ye Ningze felt an exhilarating surge of power coursing through his body.

A pleased smile curved his lips as he couldn't help but laugh heartily towards the sky: Hahaha, a Martial Sovereign realm expert! This strength is simply unbelievable! I've actually broken through to Elite Martial Artist!

All of Ye Ningze's injuries had healed, and his body radiated formidable power.

He felt that if he were to fight the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python again, even if it were at its peak, he could easily defeat it!

Following this, Ye Ningze lowered his head slightly and activated his talent.

A line of small text appeared before his vision.

Race: Human.

Cultivation Talent: A-grade.

Special Ability: Flame Manipulation A-grade.

Blade Dao Talent A+.

Seeing this, Ye Ningze couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

His cultivation talent had actually improved to A-grade!

This was an incredibly joyous occasion for Ye Ningze!

His cultivation talent had improved to A-grade.

This was akin to opening a new door for him!

After all, A-grade talent was an extremely rare existence!

Ye Ningze's original talent was only E-grade. After cultivating in Sunset Forest for a few days and undergoing the trials of these past few days, he had managed to reach A-grade without even copying others' talents.

Instantly, Ye Ningze was overjoyed.

At this moment, a whistling sound cut through the air from not far away.

Several martial artists from the First Academy rushed over, their faces filled with disbelief upon seeing that Ye Ningze had slain the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python.

One Elite Martial Artist exclaimed in disbelief, "You... you killed the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python?!"

Ye Ningze smiled calmly, "That's right. What, you have a problem with that?!"

Li Daocheng, a martial artist from the First Academy, became furious upon hearing this: "Honestly hand over the essence blood and eyes of the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python, and we'll spare your life!"

Ye Ningze snorted, "If you want the essence blood and eyes of the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python, come and take them with your own strength. Don't threaten others. My strength is no less than yours. If you want to snatch my belongings, it depends on your abilities!"

At this moment, three other Elite Martial Artists also arrived.

"Ye Ningze, you actually killed the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python! This belongs to our First Academy. You have quite the nerve!"

"I advise you to obediently hand over the essence blood and eyes of the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python, lest you suffer torture and unbearable pain!"

"Be sensible! Hand over the items obediently! Otherwise, you'll be the one suffering!"

"Ye Ningze, if you don't hand them over honestly, you will surely die today!"

Hmph!

Ye Ningze sneered at these martial artists from the First Academy, "You guys are truly shameless to the extreme! I killed the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python, so everything on this beast naturally belongs to me! Now, you have the audacity to demand things from me?! You guys are too shameless, aren't you?!"

Ye Ningze's words were filled with mockery.

If he had been a Martial Disciple before, facing these Elite Martial Artists from the First Academy, he might have felt fear. But now, his own strength had broken through to the Elite Martial Artist level!

Facing such opponents again, he felt no fear whatsoever!

These martial artists from the First Academy were simply unreasonable.

The Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python was ownerless. You saw its essence blood and wanted to kill it but failed. Now that I've killed it, you've come to forcibly seize it?!

The essence blood and eyes of the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python were the most precious items on the beast.

These guys immediately demanded Ye Ningze hand over the essence blood and eyes of the Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python. Wasn't that the height of shamelessness?

As soon as Ye Ningze finished speaking, the martial artists from the First Academy began to curse: "You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

"You little bastard! Do you really think you can be arrogant just because you've reached the Martial Disciple cultivation? I'm telling you, in our First Academy, it's not your place to act presumptuously!"

"Our school's rule is that what we desire, we must obtain. I don't need to elaborate on how this debt should be settled; everyone understands it in their hearts!"

"Ye Ningze, be sensible and hand it over quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

The students clamored, utterly overbearing.
