Chapter 172 Joint suppression
In a flash, a plan quickly took shape in Yang Zheng's mind.
He swept over Wu Jinrong without a trace, looked at Luoyang again, and his eyes fell back to Sima Jian.
Seeing him silent, Sima Jian said coldly, "Yang Zheng, don't think that if you become a guest, we will be afraid of you! The Academy brings together a variety of schools of thought and is a communication platform that encourages competition and exchange. Here, there is only a difference between strength and weakness, but no matter what position you are!"
Yang Zheng sarcastically said, "Isn't it a joke to say the word "strong and weak" from your mouth? Just a few days ago, you were my defeated general and were knocked out in public. What kind of face do you have to come and show off your power with me?"
He didn't believe that in broad daylight, these people really dared to rush forward and openly attack the guest officials in the school.
Sima Jian's face suddenly looked ugly, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Diet to the point of death, you still dare to speak stubbornly! To tell you the truth, in order to inspire everyone's desire to strive for progress, the Academy set a rule at the beginning of its establishment, people in the same realm can challenge each other, and can only admit defeat, not refuse."
The gap in strength between the same realm is not too big, and there is no situation where the weak is bullying. If the strength is not good and you think you are not as good as you can take the initiative to admit defeat, but this will lose face and you will not be able to raise your head in front of the winner.
The Academy uses this method to inspire everyone to practice hard. If you can't beat it, then practice hard to become stronger, surpass your opponent, strive to win back one next time, and save your face. In this way, everyone will feel a sense of crisis in their hearts and will not live in a negative state.
The academy is full of talents. Unless they are the peak strong people, there are often as many as thousands of people in the same territory and the competitive pressure is huge. Theoretically speaking, a person has thousands of potential opponents, so this challenge is also called the battle of thousands.
From the moment I entered the academy, this battle of thousands began.
Sima Jian was arrogant and said, "In the winter test, you relied on your cultivation to be higher than me and won the championship by chance. What's so great about it? Since you are at the lowest level of the fourth level now, then according to the rules, you have to accept the challenges of the fourth level. Even if you are a guest minister, it is no exception!"
This is true. Yang Zheng was able to defeat all the heroes in the winter test because his opponents were all in the third realm, and he would not suffer much loss in the realm. But now, he has broken through and faces no longer the same class candidates, but a huge group of disciples in the academy.
He was at a disadvantage before the war started. Many senior brothers with higher cultivation are not like freshmen who are new to the beginning, but their school age is at least one year.
What does this mean when studying in the academy for a year? Not to mention anything else, they have experienced many battles just for a thousand people. It can be said that they have rich combat experience and will no longer be as weak and immature as when they first entered the academy.
Yang Zheng is at the bottom of the fourth realm, and he has to face too many enemies and is too strong.
He finally understood why the helpers Sima Jian brought were all four realms of cultivation. It turned out that this kid wanted to use the rules of a battle of thousands of people to openly oppress him, making him unable to bear it, and he could only bow his head and admit defeat.
Sima Jian was aggressive and continued to provoke, "Yang Zheng, you are lucky. After entering the academy, you have been hiding in the back mountain, making it impossible for us to challenge. Since you have already appeared today, you can't escape anymore, so let's face the storm!"
He originally wanted to scold Yang Zheng as a turtle, but the back mountain was Xunzi's residence, and it involved the majesty of a saint. He did not dare to speak out loud, so he could only take advantage of this rare opportunity to block Yang Zheng halfway and send someone to challenge him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a big man walked out of his back, staring at Yang Zheng coldly, and said in a stern voice, "Military, Congratulations to Zhengzong, challenge Yang Zheng!"
He deliberately activated his internal force to spread the voice out and swayed in the nearby space.
Today's battle between thousands of people is clearly intended to make Yang Zheng look disgraceful and feel ashamed in public. Naturally, he should be widely publicized to attract more people to watch Yang Zheng's ugly appearance.
Immediately afterwards, another person left the list and made the same decision.
"Military, Pei Qian, challenge Yang Zheng!"
"Military genius, Yao Jinbo, challenge Yang Zheng!"
"Soldiers, Lei Dongtian, challenge Yang Zheng!"
...
All the young people in the four realms brought by Sima Jian took turns to challenge.
The voice of the strong murderous aura quickly spread throughout the school, making everyone realize that there was a good show. The outstanding juniors of the military ranks joined forces to challenge the youngest guest official. Isn't this a good show?
People everywhere stopped the busy things and ran to the sound. They saw a large group of people posing in a striking manner and facing Yang Zheng with great momentum. This scene was terrifying.
Sima Jian stood proudly with his hands behind his back, glanced at the more and more onlookers, and felt more proud. He mobilized all the troops to surround Yang Zheng just to clear the humiliation of the day. If Yang Zheng easily admits defeat and turns around and leaves, it will be a shame.
Now, attracting teachers and students to see with your own eyes, it’s different.
As a guest official in the school, Yang Zheng did not have the courage to challenge the apprentices and directly admitted defeat. How could he be worthy of being a guest official in such a cowardice? This is not only a shame for Yang Zheng, but also a slander for Xun Sheng, who recommended him.
Sima Jian's move was to put him on the fire, make it difficult for him to take the lead, and he could only accept the challenge and then be trampled on in turn.
After everyone launched a challenge, Sima Jian sneered, "Guest Master, they are all ordinary apprentices. I want to learn your skills. It depends on what magical powers you have that can surpass us and occupy this position. I think, as you are, I will not refuse students' advice, right?"
When the onlookers heard this, they thought to themselves that Sima Jian is so cheap. This is to use Yang Zheng’s identity to block his retreat. The Supreme Saint once said that if virtue is not worthy of his position, there will be disaster. Now, Yang Zheng is indeed facing a huge disaster!
Yang Zheng frowned and was about to answer, but at this moment, a laugh suddenly came from behind the crowd, harsh and sinister.
"How can I lose my big scene like this without Tian Yuan?"
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly gave way to the visitor.
Yang Zheng looked over and saw a large group of people coming over, surrounded by a luxuriously dressed young man, coming to him.
The man's face was fair and weird, and his eyes were flashing with strange splendor. He looked at Yang Zheng, pretending to be regretful, "You are Yang Zheng who hurt my brother? Alas, even such a guy lost. He really lost all the face at home!"
Yang Zheng was independent there, without saying a word, and didn't even look at him. No matter who you are, as long as you dare to provoke me, you will end up worse than your brother!
The young man saw it and said, "I have seen such arrogant geniuses. Since you are not tactful, I will stop talking nonsense. Just grab Brother Sima's limelight and vent my stupid brother!"
He took a step forward and his face turned gloomy, like a terrible poisonous snake.
"Taoist, Tian Yuan, challenge Yang Zheng!"
