The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 90
Although Hu Niu had yet to awaken his Spirit Base, he had already stepped into the sixth layer of the Body Refining Tier due to continuous eating.
What kind of concept is that?
An ordinary adult man, even if there were twenty or thirty of them working together, could not possibly match him!
Knowing that he was within the grasp of an unknown man, Hu Niu's ferocious nature instantly flared up. "Pa," like a tiger waving its claws, his hands were connected to the face of the big man.
"Pu," the big man's head tilted, and seven teeth and a mouthful of blood instantly spurted out; he instantly fell to the ground.
Hu Niu tipped back in the air and continued to squat on the ground. His mouth opened, revealing two canine teeth. His four limbs pushed off the ground at the same time, and like a ferocious tiger that finally escaped his limits, he pounced on the big man. His hand pressed down on his shoulder, and his mouth was already down biting his throat.
Ling Han hurriedly acted and picked up the wild little girl. He definitely did not want this little girl killed. If he did, then all his efforts and Liu Yu Tong would be in vain.
Even so, the big man who had fallen to the ground was already pale in fear. His throat let out a loud scream. If they did not see it or hear it themselves, it was truly unbelievable that a tall and sturdy man would actually be able to let go of such a sissy voice.
The other big guy is more "lucky". With a knife hand from Liu Yu Tong to his neck, he instantly fainted.
"If you yell one more time, I'll kill you!" Said Ling Han.
The big man hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, as if he was a young girl who had discovered a pervert.
Ling Han put Hu Niu back. The ferocious nature of the wild little girl was stifled with much difficulty, and she continued to flaunt her teeth at the big man, letting out a low growl. The big man shouted again out of fear, but when he recalled Ling Han's threat, he hurriedly covered his mouth again.
"I, I am a disciple of the Earth and Water Faction. If you know what's good for you, you'll be gone!" The big man was threatening, even though he did not look very confident. He shuddered in fear even as he spoke, his face pale.
Ling Han turned to look at Liu Yu Tong and asked, "What is the background of this Earth and Water Faction?"
"This is the underground party of the imperial city. Since some things cannot be done publicly, even the Eight Great Clans will sometimes use the power of this party to carry out some dirty actions," Liu Yu Tong said. He thought for a moment, then continued, "The head of the Earth Faction and Water Faction seems to be named Yang Tian Du. He was at the Spiritual Ocean Level, and mingled very well with the upper-class parties of the imperial city."
In the field of martial arts, the lines between Sects, Factions, Sects, Associations and Societies were very strictly drawn. To be able to have the name of the Faction would require powerful warriors of the Spiritual Sea Level as support.
Ling Han gave a 'oh' sign and once again looked back at the big man while saying, "I don't care if you are the Earth and Water Faction or the Heaven and Water Faction. I asked, and you gave me an answer. If I'm not happy with your answer, then I'll decide on one of your limbs. You can count how many times you can afford to pay for my own displeasure. "
The big man's face paled and he hurriedly nodded without stopping. He was not really afraid of Ling Han — but rather, he was afraid of Hu Niu. This little girl gave him the feeling that she was a fierce tiger, who had absolutely no reason to help him.
Who wouldn't be afraid of that?
"Chen Yun Xiang sent you?" Ling Han asked.
"Yes yes . "
"How many times have you helped him do something like that?"
"…" the big man hesitated for a moment, but when his eyes were fixed on Hu Niu, he could not help but shiver. He hurriedly replied, "I don't remember exactly how many times, but there must be ten times!"
There are actually ten times!
Ling Han gave a humph and hit the big man's chest with his palm. Due to the shockwave from his Original Power, he instantly broke the man's heart.
Liu Yu Tong had already developed a tacit understanding with him. He immediately charged forward with his sword thrust and killed the man who had fallen unconscious. He then sheathed his sword and said, "Just hand the old demon over to me, I will make the people from my clan deal with him."
Ling Han considered his words for a moment before nodding in agreement.
He knew that Liu Yu Tong was acting in his best interest. After all, this was an imperial city, under the direct jurisdiction of the Emperor. Even if it was the Eight Great Clans, they would have to think twice before doing anything. If he killed someone right after he arrived and the information that could be used against him was obtained by someone intent on hurting him, this might result in great anger from the imperial family.

At that time, Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan would not be able to protect him. After all, the Rain Country belonged to the Qi Clan.
However, for the two small warriors feet in front of them, even if they were to die, no one would notice this matter. Chen Yun Xiang was the boss of a business, so his influence could be small or large; for the Liu Clan, as one of the Eight Great Clans, his influence could be small or large; for the Liu Clan, as one of the Eight Great Clans, it would only be too easy if they intended to deal with an entrepreneur. Moreover, Chen Yun Xiang did not have a clean history, so just gathering information randomly about some of his bad deeds would be enough to destroy him completely.
Ling Han also did not take such a minor character seriously, so he naturally would not reject Liu Yu Tong's kindness.
The two continued on their way to Hu Yang Academy.
The imperial city was huge. It was at least ten times the size of Da Yuan City, and after an hour, Ling Han and the others finally arrived at the entrance of Hu Yang Academy.
They were stopped immediately first. This is not a place that anyone can enter.
"I'm Liu Yu Tong!" Liu Yu Tong took off a silver plaque and handed it to the four guards stationed at the entrance.
"So that's True Disciple Liu!" One of the guards examined the plaque carefully, and quickly returned it respectfully. "We didn't know it was you, so please forgive us, True Disciple Liu!"
Liu Yu Tong waved their apologies. He was currently veiled, so it made sense that they did not recognize him. He pointed at Ling Han, and said, "This is my friend, and he needs to enter the Academy for important matters. Register him for me."

"understand!" The four guards nodded.
Hu Yang Academy had very strict regulations. Academy students were indeed allowed to take visitors to the Academy grounds, but the latter was not allowed to stay overnight. After entering, they would be enrolled, and if they did not exit the Academy at night, then the disciple who brought them would be severely punished.
After enrolling, Liu Yu Tong brought Ling Han into the courtyard. This is where the teacher in charge of welcoming new students is placed. Since the New Year has just passed, there is a large group of new students coming to report here.
After Liu Yu Tong led Ling Han here, he then left with Ling Zi Xuan. The little girl came here with the registration place that Ling Dong Xing got through his deal with the Academy, and hence there was no need to go through the usual registration channels.
On the way here, Ling Han had heard many things regarding Hu Yang Academy from Liu Yu Tong.
Here, students were separated into three categories: Ordinary Disciple, True Disciple, and Core Disciple.
Ordinary Disciple was quite simple. You will be considered one since you entered the Academy. The number of True Disciples was much less, only a total of thirty. In terms of cultivation resources, they could obtain ten times the amount of resources available to Ordinary Disciples, thus they became objects of envy to Ordinary Disciples.
There are two conditions to becoming a True Disciple. First, you must be at least at the Element Gathering Tier, and second, you must be at the thirty strongest disciples in the Academy. As a result, competition is fierce.
However, Ling Han won first place in this year's Da Yuan Tournament, so he would instantly be recognized as a True Disciple by the time he entered – even though this was only valid for one year. There were also champions from thirty-six other cities who would be able to obtain such a prize, which meant that at the end of the year, thirty-six people had to be disqualified, and after that, True Disciples who were ranked from twenty-first to thirty-first place had to face the challenge of the ten strongest Ordinary Disciples. If they lost, they would be revealed to be Ordinary Disciples.
This was also why Qi Yong Ye and Jin Wuji had returned to compete for first place in the Da Yuan Tournament. Because even though they were as strong as them, they were still not True Disciples!
