Cheng Longting was now routinely patrolling the school.

As the vice president of the student council and the head of the discipline department at Beijing University, his most common task was to patrol the school with his team. Whenever anything suspicious happened, he would summon the involved parties to the office of the discipline department and give them a good dressing-down.

Just now, he had noticed a crowd of dozens of people gathered here, seemingly watching some excitement, and immediately came over with his team.

Unexpectedly, as he approached, he heard someone talking about expelling a member of his discipline department.

Instantly, Cheng Longting was infuriated!

In Cheng Longting's view, the student council's discipline department was his private domain. Even teachers, even the principal, had no authority to question the comings and goings of its staff!

Because he was a Grandmaster of Transcendence!

Because he had the backing of an incredibly powerful sect!

And now, some unknown kid who popped up from nowhere was actually trying to expel someone from his discipline department. This meant war!

"Chief! Chief!!" Zhou He spotted Cheng Longting coming over and immediately rushed toward him like he'd seen a savior, pointing at Qin Heng and saying to Cheng Longting, "Chief! This is the guy who said he wanted to challenge you earlier! Qin Heng! He actually said he wanted to expel me! He even said he wanted to banish me from setting foot in Beijing ever again! He's too arrogant! Truly too arrogant!!"

"What a big talker!" Cheng Longting looked at Qin Heng, sized him up, and said, "So you're Qin Heng, the Half-step Grandmaster who wants to challenge me? You've got guts. Tell me, how do you want to die?"

He seemed even more arrogant than Zeng Yuechong, not even bothering to conceal his murderous intent. It was clear that if Qin Heng answered incorrectly, Cheng Longting might just kill him on the spot.

HISS!

The people around took a sharp breath when they heard Cheng Longting's words, looking at him with a mix of shock and doubt!

Dominance! Truly too dominant! Asking someone straight out how they want to die… probably only Cheng Longting could pull that off.

Cheng Longting's tyranny was notorious at Beijing University. Not only students, but many teachers and even school leaders were wary of him because his background was truly terrifying—even more so than Zeng Yuechong, who hailed from a millennium-old Martial Dao family!

"Cheng Longting, don't be too arrogant!" Xun Hanyan stepped forward, standing right beside Qin Heng. She glared at Cheng Longting and said sternly, "Qin Heng is also a Grandmaster of Transcendence, and he has just defeated Zeng Yuechong. Do you think you are strong? I doubt you are a match for Qin Heng."

"That's right!" Zhuo Yutong nodded and said, "Both being Grandmasters of Transcendence, you're only on par with Zeng Yuechong, yet Qin Heng easily defeated him. What gives you the right to be so arrogant in front of Qin Heng?"

The people around also seemed to find this reasonable and started murmuring among themselves.

"It really seems to make sense. No matter how powerful and tyrannical Cheng Longting is, he's just a Grandmaster of Transcendence, not necessarily better than Qin Heng!"

"It's not a question of 'not necessarily.' I think he's definitely not as powerful as Qin Heng. Keep in mind we didn't even see Qin Heng's movements clearly before Zeng Yuechong was crippled—that's amazing!"

"Besides, Qin Heng even forced Zeng Yuechong, a genius from a millennium-old Martial Dao family, to kneel and beg for mercy. I think Cheng Longting is in big trouble this time!"

These people weren't fools; they had witnessed Qin Heng's strength already and naturally wouldn't consider him a pushover anymore. Many even believed Cheng Longting might not be a match for Qin Heng.

"Bullshit! All of you are spouting bullshit!!" Zhou He exploded, pointing at the people around him and shouting, "You have no idea how terrifying the Chief is! With the Chief's strength, he could crush this piece-of-crap Qin Heng with just one finger!!"

"Alright, calm down." Cheng Longting, however, raised his hand slightly to calm him, his gaze returning to Qin Heng. "So you defeated Zeng Yuechong," he said with a smile. "No wonder you're so arrogant. What a pity. Out of the five Grandmasters at Beijing University, only Zhong Tianxiu, who ranks first, is worth my attention. As for Zeng Yuechong, he's nothing but an ant in my eyes."

His tone was casual and his expression arrogant. He was the picture of condescension, evidently not taking Qin Heng and Zeng Yuechong seriously at all. Others, however, weren't so sure. After all, most people's understanding of Martial Dao was rather superficial. Knowing about Grandmasters of Transcendence was already quite impressive. To them, the gap between Grandmasters of Transcendence shouldn't be significant. For someone like Qin Heng to defeat another Grandmaster of Transcendence, his strength must be exceptionally formidable. Therefore, in their eyes, Cheng Longting was simply boasting.

"Heh. Now that Zeng Yuechong has left, you can say whatever you want. I can boast too!"

"You're both Grandmasters of Transcendence. What gives you the right to treat Zeng Yuechong like an ant?"

"I never expected such a renowned figure as Cheng Longting to be nothing more than a braggart."

Many people disdained Cheng Longting. Moreover, they figured that with so many people speaking up, Cheng Longting probably wouldn't dare to do anything to them, no matter how capable he was! How could he possibly dare to be so audacious on campus?

"Some people just have a death wish," Cheng Longting shook his head and said, "It seems that if I don't make a move for a while, people forget my prowess."

As he spoke, Cheng Longting suddenly took a step forward. His aura surged monstrously, as if a supreme and mighty Vajra had burst forth from him, awe-inspiring and dominating, pressuring everything around him! It was as if a god had descended into the mortal realm, instantly making the air around him thick and oppressive—a fearsome aura beyond everyone's imagination.

"My heavens! How is this possible!!" Xun Hanyan's face paled the instant she felt this aura, exclaiming in shock, "Martial Dao's fist intention aura! Half-step Innate!?"

This was a spiritual presence that only Martial Artists surpassing the pinnacle of Transcendence Realm could muster, immensely powerful and terrifying; a mere thought from them could cause ordinary people to faint from fear! Only such a formidable will could break through the Heavenly Earthly Bridge, establishing a connection between the human body and heaven and earth, manifesting the inner scene outwardly, drawing breath into the body, and stepping into the Innate Realm. To condense the aura of Martial Dao's fist intention was almost equivalent to setting one foot into the Innate Realm, even capable of commanding the mighty forces of nature to some extent! A Martial Artist of this caliber… was known as a 'Half-step Innate,' capable of easily crushing any Grandmaster of Transcendence! Cheng Longting! He was actually a Half-step Innate!

The realization flooded Xun Hanyan's heart with boundless terror.

Though a Half-step Innate hadn't truly become an Innate Grandmaster, they had one foot through heaven's gate and were fundamentally different from those in the Transcendence Realm, capable of effortless domination!

As for the others, they were petrified by Cheng Longting's intimidating presence. Many were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, eyes rolling back and frothing at the mouth, passing out cold!

"Anyone who just spoke up for Qin Heng, carry them away. If anyone resists, cripple them!!" Cheng Longting stood with his hands clasped behind him, an icy smile on his face, a faint golden glow radiating from his body like a Buddha statue. He threw a challenging glance at Qin Heng and said, "From now on, anyone who speaks for Qin Heng will be my enemy, Cheng Longting! Do you all understand? You too, Xun Hanyan. Come stand by my side right now. Otherwise, starting today, the Xun family, with its legacy of over a thousand years, may not survive this year!"
