Chu Nan instantly understood in his heart. During the Cyan Profound Competition, he noticed that there was a lot of manipulation behind the scenes. Except for the arena, almost every other place was full of underhand tricks.
Hearing the scruffy man's words, everything became clear to Chu Nan.
Then the scruffy man continued, "And Zhang Jian hasn't woken up since the Cyan Profound Competition. After being checked by a Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artist, his soul is found to be riddled with scars. Even if he wakes up, he'll probably be a fool."
Unable to hold back, Chu Nan said, "He brought it upon himself."
The scruffy man looked at Chu Nan with meaningful eyes and then said in a low voice, "Whether or not he brought it upon himself, Zhang Jian became like this after the martial fight with you. You indirectly destroyed the Zhang family's prodigy. Do you think the Zhang family will let you go?"
Chen Kaiyang had also mentioned this before, so Chu Nan wasn't surprised and replied, "Thanks for the warning, but if soldiers come, we block them; if water comes, we cover it with soil. If they want revenge, let them try."
"I'm not afraid, Chu Nan!"
The scruffy man showed a look of appreciation in his eyes and then gave Chu Nan a thumbs up, saying, "No wonder you're the first in the Cyan Profound Competition. Well said! If they want to take revenge on you, just hit them back!"
Hearing this, Chu Nan couldn't help but smile wryly but still thanked him, "Thank you, Chu Nan."
The scruffy man laughed, "No need to be so polite. I'm Wei Zhuohao, also a Battle Academy disciple, just a few years earlier than you. I'm here to carry out a Battle Academy task, so you can call me senior brother."
The way to earn resources at the Cyan Profound Martial Academy is the same as at Cyan Mountain Sword Sect. Both require completing tasks to gain contribution points and exchange them.
However, the items needing exchange here are far more precious than those at Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.
After a brief chat, Wei Zhuohao informed them of the location of their assigned courtyards, and then Chu Nan and the others took their leave.
Even though they had just entered the Battle Academy and made an enemy out of the Zhang family, Chu Nan was not worried at all.
Crisis and opportunity coexist. A martial artist wanting to grow inevitably must face bloody battles and confrontations.
A peaceful environment cannot breed strong warriors. True, indomitable martial artists emerge from mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
Just as they left the registration hall and were on their way to the assigned courtyards, three people suddenly blocked their path.
Chu Nan's brows furrowed, Jiang Yixing and Zheng Yao also showed vigilance on their faces.
New to the Cyan Profound Martial Academy, someone blocking the path was clearly not friendly!
These three were a woman and two men, wearing gold-patterned cyan battle robes unique to the Cyan Profound Martial Academy and exuding the aura of Yang Wheel Martial Artists.
But among these three, only the woman standing in the center caught Chu Nan's attention for a moment.
This woman's figure was voluptuous, her features extremely delicate, and her fitted battle robe made her look charming and alluring.
However, Chu Nan's focus on her was not because of her beauty, but because of the undisguised anger and hatred in her eyes.
"Are you Chu Nan?" the woman coldly stared at Chu Nan and asked.
Unyielding, Chu Nan responded calmly, "What if I am? What if I'm not?"
At this time, Jiang Yixing and Zheng Yao also stood behind Chu Nan. Although they were only Spirit Pills, they were not afraid of the Yang Wheel!
"How bold!" The male martial artist beside the charming woman shouted sharply, "This is Senior Sister Zhang Baimei of the Battle Academy, how can you be so disrespectful!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Nan instantly understood what was going on; the woman in front of him shared the surname Zhang, surely having some connection to Zhang Jian.
"You're here for Zhang Jian, aren't you?" Chu Nan pointed out directly, without any pretense.
Zhang Baimei's eyes flashed with anger, coldly snorting, "As long as you know. My brother Zhang Jian was such a genius. You must've used some underhanded means to barely win, causing my brother to remain unconscious till now."
"But if you think entering the Battle Academy means you're safe, you're gravely mistaken. You sly thief, I'll definitely demand justice for my brother and make you confess!"
Zhang Baimei arrogantly raised her chin, looking down at Chu Nan with utter disdain, clearly not taking him seriously.
Her cultivation had reached the third level of the Yang Wheel, slightly stronger than Zhang Jian, so she feared Chu Nan not at all.
No matter how great one's talent, or how strong, they're still just a Spirit Pill!
Chu Nan felt a stirring of anger and said, "In the martial arts arena, life and death are decreed by fate."
"He attacked me first, and thus this outcome was deserved. Zhang Jian isn't even dead, and even the Mansion Master recognized my actions. On what grounds do you accuse me?"
Even though Zhang Baimei was at Yang Wheel level three, Chu Nan was unafraid!
His current strength could defeat a Yang Wheel dual martial artist even without using Desolate Profound Transformation, and if he did invoke it, he could even slay one at Yang Wheel level three!
Upon hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhang Baimei was furious, her face flushed, "You little brat, how dare you brazenly argue against the Zhang family?"
"You'd better abolish your cultivation and obediently hand over the prizes from the Cyan Profound Competition. If not, today next year will be the anniversary of your death!"
Chu Nan immediately understood that Zhang Baimei was entirely here for the rewards from the Cyan Profound Competition.
"Senior Sister, if you're dissatisfied with my first place win, then make a move; I, Chu Nan, fear none of you!"
Chu Nan's tone was incredibly calm, not intending to bolster himself, but entirely dismissing the three.
Zhang Baimei was momentarily stunned, this newcomer to the Cyan Profound Martial Academy was so arrogant, it seemed he hadn't been properly taught yet.
Beside her, a disciple of Yang Wheel level two said, "Chu Nan is so reckless, Senior Sister, let me teach him a lesson so this young man learns a lesson!"
Zhang Baimei coldly snorted, "Fine, then you take action and teach him a lesson!"
The Yang Wheel dual martial artist, having received approval, strode over to Chu Nan, saying, "Chu Nan, you'll pay for your arrogance today."
"I've been at Yang Wheel level two for a year, far beyond Zhang Jian. I'll make sure you remember this day forever!"
Chu Nan stared back coldly, indifferent as he said, "Want to fight? Then go ahead, why waste words!"
"Bastard!" the Yang Wheel dual martial artist roared in anger, then swung his fist as he charged towards Chu Nan.
The power in this punch was solid and robust, the aura was incredibly daunting, forcing Jiang Yixing and Zheng Yao to repeatedly retreat, unable to even open their eyes.
The Yang Wheel dual martial artist sneered as though already witnessing the scene where Chu Nan's bones were shattered by his punch.
But what he hadn't anticipated was that just as his fist was about to connect, Chu Nan struck.
With dazzling lightning, the Thunderous Dominating Fist shone like celestial thunder descending, slamming hard into the Yang Wheel dual martial artist.
With just that one boom, the martial artist was engulfed by lightning, bathed in blood, and his body was sent flying, crashing tens of meters away!
With only a single move, the Yang Wheel dual martial artist was defeated by Chu Nan.
Chu Nan exhaled calmly, showing no expression. That guy, even though he was Yang Wheel level two, was far inferior to Zhang Jian with his royal-grade Spirit Martial weapon.
Moreover, his physical body was incredibly fragile, and combined with Chu Nan's Thunderous Dominating Fist that he had secretly been preparing, a one-punch defeat was nothing surprising.
