If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

After saying this, Zong Ze brandished his mountain-splitting staff, and instantly countless staff shadows appeared before Zhang Dashan's eyes!

"this!"

Zhang Dashan was stunned for a moment, and his forward steps stopped. Just when Zong Ze pointed out the flaws in his staff technique, he already knew that Zong Ze was quite familiar with the "Cloud-Dispelling Staff Technique".

However, even so, when Zong Ze truly unleashed his inescapable net, Zhang Dashan realized just how different he was from Zong Ze.

Dacheng!

Zong Ze had actually mastered the Heavenly Net technique to a high level. The shortcomings that Zong Ze had pointed out in his staff technique were completely invisible in his hands. The staff shadows filled the sky with order, as if he could find any flaws at any time.

However, anyone who actually tries to exploit those weaknesses will suffer a terrible fate, as those so-called weaknesses are actually all traps.

Although Zhang Dashan's training was not yet at a high level, he was extremely familiar with this staff technique!

"Bang! Crack..."

Just as Zhang Dashan hesitated for a moment, a stick suddenly landed on his left shoulder with a cracking sound that was clearly heard by the audience. Zhang Dashan's left shoulder bone was shattered by that blow!

"Ah! Bang! Crack!"

Just as Zhang Dashan felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder and cried out, another stick flew out and struck Zhang Dashan's knees hard.

"Pfft!"

With his knees shattered again, Zhang Dashan could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony.

To be honest, as a martial arts practitioner, Zhang Dashan shouldn't have been in such a state, crying out in pain after being injured. He was just genuinely scared!

Zhang Dashan could tell from Zong Ze's eyes that Zong Ze really wanted to kill him. On this life-or-death arena, he had signed the Life-or-Death Bamboo Contract. If Zong Ze really wanted to kill him, he really didn't have any good way to deal with it.

Therefore, Zhang Dashan's desperate cries were three parts true and seven parts false.

He needed to scream in agony to evoke sympathy from some people, or even the attention of some mentors. Only under such circumstances, perhaps with the intervention of outsiders, could he truly survive the clutches of Zong Ze, this killer!

Now, Zhang Dashan personally experienced why those freshmen called Zong Ze a demon, because Zong Ze really was a jinx!

"Call?"

The barrage of sticks finally disappeared, and Zong Ze's slender figure reappeared before everyone's eyes.

Hearing Zhang Dashan's scream, Zong Ze smiled slightly, stepped forward, and stomped on Zhang Dashan's face!

"I told you before that if you released my friend, I would spare your life. But you didn't fight for it. You thought you could take advantage of me, a freshman. So, what happened today is entirely your own fault. Remember, in your next life, keep your eyes open when you're bullying others!"

Having said that, Zong Ze raised the mountain-splitting stick high in his hand.

"No, you can't kill me! I'm from Shimen. If you kill me, Shimen won't let you get away with it, and neither will Panmen!"

Seeing the murderous intent in Zong Ze's eyes, Zhang Dashan could no longer scream in agony. He quickly shouted, "My Shimen is a branch of the Panmen. Don't be fooled by your strength; the Panmen is not something you can shake!"

"Panmen?"

Zong Ze sneered: "Do you think the people from the inner court would really stand up for you, a mere outer court student? Even if they did, do you think I would care?"

You must pay attention!

Just then, a cold voice came from the back of the crowd: "If you dare not care, then you are destined to be a dead man, I guarantee it!"

As the crowd dispersed, a tall, slender man walked in, squinting his eyes.

Upon seeing this person, Zhang Dashan's eyes lit up. He knew that he was saved today. Although this person was extremely arrogant, he admired Liu Tianyang immensely, and was therefore completely devoted to Shimen!

"It's him? How did a battle between an outer sect student attract this mad wolf?"

An older student muttered to himself. It was clear from his tone that he did not belong to the Stone Gate.

Upon hearing the senior's words, the freshman next to him quickly asked, "Senior, do you know this person? From what you're saying, he's very famous and capable?"

"It's more than just fame and ability?"

The old man shook his head slightly: "It seems that Zong Ze has run into a brick wall. Perhaps he has some grudge against Shi Men, otherwise the inner sect would never have let this wolf out!"

"Senior, you've been talking for so long, but you still haven't said who this person is!"

The new student, Kaba Kaba, had eyes full of curiosity, but his eyes also revealed a hint of worry. Clearly, he was worried about Zong Ze!

"Ni Haotian!"

The old man slowly uttered these three words: "Have you heard of it?"

"Is he Ni Haotian?"

The freshmen were stunned the moment they heard those three words!

Although he is a freshman and has only been at the university for a short time, many people already know this guy named Ni Haotian!

Ni Haotian, an inner student of the academy, possesses the strength of the early stage of Divine Wrath, is a member of the Stone Gate, and ranks thirty-first on the inner academy's ranking list.

This is Ni Haotian's profile, a profile that couldn't be simpler.

However, despite the seemingly simple introduction and the mere 31st ranking, there's a saying in the academy: "Better to offend Qi Xiutian than to be disrespected by Ni Haotian!"

Qi Xiutian, with the strength of the late stage of Divine Wrath, is ranked first among the inner disciples and the sect master of Panmen. He is also the only person who is not from Tianmen but occupies the top spot on the list.

Qi Xiutian is terrifying—his cultivation and strength are terrifying. If we're talking about these two aspects, even if Ni Haotian gave him a hundred horses, he still couldn't catch up with Qi Xiutian.

However, even if Qi Xiutian was terrifying, he was still a normal person, while Ni Haotian was a madman, a complete and utter madman.

Once, right there in the academy, a freshman from the outer academy glanced at Ni Haotian, and Ni Haotian actually took it as a reason to accuse the freshman of provoking him, and insisted on going to the life-or-death arena with the freshman.

The freshman disagreed, and Ni Haotian actually threatened him that if he did not go to the life-or-death arena, Ni Haotian would leave the campus to find and kill his family!

Although the new student had some influence, it was far inferior to Ni Haotian's. With no other choice, for the sake of his family, the new student agreed to Ni Haotian's Bamboo of Life and Death.

As a result, needless to say, the freshman was torn apart by Ni Haotian in less than a second after stepping onto the stage.

Thus, the Water God Academy came to have this proverb: "Better to provoke Qi Xiutian than to be disrespected by Ni Haotian."

If you offend Qi Xiutian, you might still have a chance to survive, but if you offend Ni Haotian, the result will be certain death!
