Zhou He was nothing more than a mere mortal.

Insignificant.

Yet since he dared to scheme against Qin Heng, that was a grave sin. And with sin comes the need for punishment.

This was only right.

Fierce, scorching flames flew towards Zhou He.

Zhou He immediately went weak in the knees and knelt on the ground, wanting to continue kowtowing to Qin Heng for mercy, but he no longer had the chance.

The flames unleashed by Qin Heng were terrifyingly powerful.

In the instant they touched Zhou He, they completely engulfed him, flickering only briefly before reducing Zhou He to nothingness!

That's right!

Absolute nothingness!

Not even ashes remained; it was as if Zhou He had never existed at all, erased from existence!!

HISS!!

The onlookers couldn't help but gasp, staring at Qin Heng in utter disbelief. All of them were extremely shocked; nobody had thought he would actually dare to kill Zhou He!

That was a living person, after all!

Gone, just like that??

However, recalling how Qin Heng had just burned a half-step Innate expert to ashes, the death of a mere ordinary person seemed quite trivial.

For the first time, the students of Beijing University truly felt the power of Martial Artists, especially the power of high-level Martial Artists!!

Above the masses!

Their lives and deaths in their hands!

They were beings that towered above ordinary society!

Martial Artists!

Martial Dao!!

So overwhelmingly powerful!

Those blade slashes tens of meters long, the blazing inferno covering an area of more than a hundred meters, and that finger strike, conjuring a sun-like brilliance, unleashing power that could crush everything!

Even if the modern military were to come, it's doubtful they could do anything against it!

Moreover, this was the power of one individual, their own inherent strength, capable of such terrible might regardless of their location or whether they had weapons in hand!

This was starkly different from modern armies, which relied on technological firearms for powerful attacks while their soldiers remained individually vulnerable!!

Power!

Something to long for deeply!

So, after a brief moment of shock, everyone who looked upon Qin Heng was filled with unparalleled envy and aspiration.

The mighty!

Truly, the mighty can do whatever they wish!!

"Let's go," Qin Heng said indifferently.

To him, whether it was killing Cheng Longting with a finger or burning Zhou He alive, it was all but a trifle.

Not even worth mentioning.

Zhuo Yutong and Xun Hanyan both nodded dumbly, instinctively following Qin Heng as he left.

They were both stunned.

This was their subconscious reaction, but since they were always on Qin Heng's side, leaving together was normal.

After Qin Heng left with Zhuo Yutong and Xun Hanyan, the onlookers who had gathered there began to return to their senses and fully realized what had just happened.

"Holy shit! Is this what Martial Dao masters are like!? So awesome! Really so awesome!!"

"Cheng Longting was actually killed by a single poke of his finger! How is that possible? Oh my God!!"

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!!"

Many people began to exclaim. What had just occurred was truly shocking for them, almost shattering their established view of the world!!

Many wanted to take out their phones to post a status, share on their social circles, and express their astonishment about what they'd experienced today.

But at that moment, a familiar figure suddenly approached.

It was none other than the President of Beijing University.

Tan Wenhe!!

This President held significant prestige within Beijing University.

Instantly!

Everyone stopped what they were doing and started murmuring in low voices.

"Shit! The President! It's the President!!"

"The President! Why is the President here? Could he have been here the whole time!?"

"But why didn't he step forward to stop the fight?"

He must have been afraid...

The battle just now was truly terrifying, akin to a legendary battle between Immortals; normal people would hardly dare to intervene.

Tan Wenhe frowned upon hearing the students' conversations and seeing the mobile phones in their hands. He said sternly, "Don't say I didn't warn you! What just happened, keep it to yourselves. Absolutely do not tell anyone else, or there will be severe punishment! If discovered, you will be directly expelled from Beijing University, and your eligibility for retaking the college entrance examinations will be revoked!!"

Having said that, Tan Wenhe turned and left. He now considered himself solely as Qin Heng's servant.

In his view, if word of today's battle spread, it could potentially cause Qin Heng considerable trouble. Therefore, it was his duty as a servant to step forward at this moment, to fully exert his power and ensure Qin Heng experienced no discomfort.

With his status as the President of Beijing University, keeping the news under wraps would be very easy.

Indeed.

After hearing Tan Wenhe's words, those who had planned to post or share their amazement online all put away their phones. Even those who had taken photos silently deleted them.

Better safe than sorry, after all!!

Tan Wenhe's words were exceedingly severe—no one dared to test the waters!!

Expulsion from Beijing University!

Eligibility to retake exams revoked!

This effectively meant plummeting from being esteemed top talents at Beijing University, Heaven's favored, to possessing merely an ordinary high school diploma—a fall no one could bear!!

Nobody dared to take the risk.

「…」

"Qin Heng, just who exactly are you?"

"Don't stay silent. You used to be so talkative, didn't you?"

After Qin Heng left that spot, Xun Hanyan and Zhuo Yutong flanked him, one on each arm, bombarding him with questions, their affection quite evident.

This made the passing male students green with envy.

After all, both Xun Hanyan and Zhuo Yutong were top-notch beauties, rare sights indeed, and now they were fawning over one guy—truly inspiring envy, jealousy, and hate.

"I'm just an ordinary practitioner," Qin Heng said lightly. In his view, he indeed was just an ordinary practitioner, perhaps one who cultivated a bit faster, that's all.

Xun Hanyan and Zhuo Yutong were immediately stunned, their expressions bewildered and complex as they looked at Qin Heng!

You??

An ordinary practitioner!?

You just easily killed a half-step Innate with a single finger!!

Is that ordinary??

"Alright, it's almost noon. Yutong, shall we find a place to have lunch?" Qin Heng looked at Zhuo Yutong; his memories of her still lingered from middle school.

Zhuo Yutong was already a budding beauty back then, and now she had blossomed to become even more attractive.

However, he didn't have any particular thoughts about it.

It was just old classmates meeting to catch up.

"Sure! Han Yan also wants to talk to you about the Martial Dao Club," Zhuo Yutong answered joyfully. "Let's go to Jinyang Restaurant next door. Their dishes are affordable and good value."

"I also like the dishes at Jinyang Restaurant," Xun Hanyan nodded. "It's been a long time since I had their pork knuckle and fish slices."

"Jinyang Restaurant?" Qin Heng recalled for a moment—it seemed to be a restaurant he had frequented during middle school. It seems Zhuo Yutong was quite thoughtful. He then nodded and smiled, "Alright."

As they spoke, they had already reached the gates of Beijing University.

"Taking two beauties to Jinyang Restaurant? Isn't that a bit too shabby?"

Just then, a young man in his twenties, wearing sunglasses and casual clothes, walked over. He glanced at Qin Heng, sneered, and said, "A pauper trying to pick up girls? Hilarious! I've taken a liking to the two chicks with you."

FLUTTER!

Saying this, the young man pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and threw it at Qin Heng. Banknotes flew everywhere, at least thirty to forty thousand!!

"Take this money and scram!"
