Chapter 105 So you're this weak!
Ye Wangji was overjoyed to hear that someone dared to make a move in the Heavenly Prison.
"A golden opportunity!"
He had been observing Yang Wanli's reaction near the Ministry of Justice, and he most hoped that a conflict would break out between the Ministry of Justice and the scholars.
If he steps forward and handles the situation properly, he will gain fame.
The integrity of scholars, who refused to kneel before officials and were unafraid of power, has always been respected.
"I heard that there was a schoolteacher in Fujian named Hai Gangfeng. When he met the prefect, his colleagues knelt, but he did not, and his back remained straight. Therefore, he was nicknamed Hai the Penholder, which is a truly admirable name."
Ye Wangji spoke with a hint of envy. This man had already been given an important position by Emperor Xuanwu and was serving as the magistrate of Zhejiang.
Although his official rank was not high, he had already caught the eye of Emperor Xuanwu, and his future achievements were sure to be remarkable.
He also wanted to demonstrate the integrity of a scholar and catch the eye of the adults.
There are too many officials in Bianjing. People like him, without any powerful background, can only get ahead by relying on the appreciation and pity of others.
However, he was better than others, and Ye Wangji also had a good teacher.
The planning behind this matter would have required Zeng Yanqiu's help; otherwise, Ye Wangji's influence alone would have been insufficient.
It's impossible for so many people to join.
Ye Wangji was also quite curious about Shen Yan in front of him, as he had never heard of Shen Yan's deeds.
However, upon hearing that his surname was Shen, he thought to himself, "He must have benefited from Shen Moxuan's influence, but to start a fight like this, is he really not afraid?"
Shen Yan frowned slightly when he saw Ye Wangji looking around and scrutinizing him for a long time without making a move.
"What is this person waiting for?!"
"However, he has a high reputation and seems to be respected by this group of scholars."
He said, "If I beat you, can you take these people out of the prison?"
Ye Wangji was very displeased with Shen Yan's words, but in order to maintain his composure and demeanor, he could only force a smile.
The scholar behind him could no longer stand it.
"Senior Brother Wangji is a mid-level third-grade martial artist. It's not too late for him to admit defeat now. Be careful not to get beaten to death later."
"That's right, Senior Brother Wangji is the number one disciple of the 38th generation of Jinghu Academy. How can you, an ignorant and lowly official, compare to him?"
"Now kneel down and kowtow a few times to release your fellow disciples. Senior Brother Wangji is magnanimous and won't make things difficult for you."
"If you can really beat Senior Brother Ye, what harm is there in us leaving!"
"That's right!"
'
'
The noisy sounds filled Shen Yan's ears, clearly indicating that Ye Wangji was exceptionally powerful.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have gained so much support.
Shen Yan sighed, "Jinghu Academy! It was once my dream place, but now it seems it's nothing special!"
Everyone present changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Ma Danian, standing behind him, was deathly pale, thinking to himself, "Damn it, please say less!"
Ma Danian realized that Shen Yan was indeed not afraid, and that he wasn't just saying it.
Ye Wangji saw that the atmosphere had been set up quite well, and all the scholars behind him were staring intently at him.
The hopes of the entire academy rested on him, and Ye Wangji never expected that Shen Yan would cooperate so readily.
He had angered the others to this extent with just a few words.
Although Ye Wangji was secretly delighted, he dared not show it in the slightest.
He pretended to look angry as he glared at Shen Yan.
"Since you're so stubborn, let's see what you've got!"
Shen Yan saw that his aura was rising steadily, and he had now reached the level of a sixth-grade martial artist.
Reaching the middle third rank of internal energy cultivation at such a young age, and not being born into a prestigious family, truly lives up to the reputation of a genius.
Ye Wangji's attack was ruthless; his true energy enveloped his palm, and the faint blue light was dazzling in the eyes of the crowd.
The scholar behind him had already foreseen the miserable state Shen Yan would be in, and was so excited he almost shouted out loud.
This palm strike contained ten levels of his skill.
If Shen Yan were weaker, he would surely die.
Seeing that Shen Yan did not dodge, Ye Wangji looked puzzled.
"Is this person scared to death?!"
But he didn't stop, and struck Shen Yan in the chest with a palm.
It was only inches away from Shen Yan's chest, yet it could not advance even an inch further.
It turned out that he had grabbed her wrist.
His expression finally changed; his full-force palm strike couldn't even budge Shen Yan in the slightest.
A slight smile appeared on Shen Yan's lips.
"My turn!"
With the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique and the second level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, Shen Yan's physical strength alone was already incredibly terrifying.
He grabbed Ye Wangji's hand, flung him into the air, and then slammed him heavily to the ground.
The open space outside the prison was paved with bluish-gray stone slabs.
Ye Wangji's body smashed the stone slab, leaving a deep, human-shaped crater in the ground.
Everyone present was shocked by the outcome; their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Well played!"
Suddenly a scholar called out, and everyone's eyes turned to him.
Only then did he realize that the person lying on the ground was Ye Wangji.
He quickly covered his mouth, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and lowered his head, not daring to look back at the crowd.
Shen Yan looked around and saw that everyone in his sight bowed their heads.
"Alright, stop playing dead and get out of here with your men!"
Ye Wangji glared at him hatefully.
He cursed inwardly, "This guy is so strong, yet he deliberately hid his strength to ambush me. He's truly despicable."
Although Shen Yan has become quite famous recently, he is not yet a household name.
Ye Wangji was clearly unaware that there was such a person in the Heavenly Prison.
He originally thought that even if the Heavenly Prison Commander was strong, he was only at the eighth rank, and with his internal strength at the sixth rank, he should be able to defeat him with ease.
I never expected Shen Yan to be so hateful. The stage I painstakingly built has only benefited him.
Shen Yan frowned slightly when he saw that he was still lying on the ground and refused to leave.
"Didn't we agree that if you lost, you'd get out?"
He knew that Ye Wangji was not seriously injured, so he did not kill him.
Ye Wangji gritted his teeth and said, "I'm leaving now!"
Shen Yan nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, then ignored them and walked straight towards the prison.
Just then, Ye Wangji, who was about to leave, suddenly made a move and was about to strike Shen Yan's back with a palm.
Seeing his shamelessness, Ma Danian even launched a sneak attack.
His expression changed drastically: "Sir, be careful!"
Ye Wangji was consumed by rage and had long since lost his reason.
But he quickly calmed down because when he struck Shen Yan with his palm, the other party didn't react at all.
Shen Yan in front of me is like a mountain, unshakable.
Shen Yan sensed Ye Wangji's movement; the two were very close and had no time to react.
After he felt Ye Wangji's palm strike him, it was as if he had been pushed.
Unable to resist, she blurted out, "So you're this weak?!"
Turning around, she saw Ye Wangji's shocked face.
Ye Wangji had realized the gap between himself and Shen Yan and wanted to escape.
Seeing this, Shen Yan naturally didn't want to let him go.
"Tit for tat, you'll take a slap from me too."
Shen Yan no longer held back with this palm strike, and Ye Wangji watched as Shen Yan's palm drew ever closer.
For the first time, he felt death was so close.
He deeply regretted his actions; losing face was better than losing his life.
Just then.
A furious shout came from afar.
"How dare you, you thief! Stop right there!"
