My Cultivation Was Wasted at the Beginning, and My Side Effects Were Transferred

14: Threaten, compensate.“Lu Fengming, I don’t care where you got the courage to cause trouble at my Tianqing Academy; I will never tolerate you.”

“Surrender obediently and await the judgment of my Tianqing Academy.”

Zhang Zhigang narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint appearing within them.

According to his knowledge, the Lu Family and the Sky Flame Dynasty Royal Family had already formed an alliance to scheme and seize Lu Fengming’s Divine Dragon Luck.

Wasn’t Lu Fengming supposed to have had all his cultivation crippled, been expelled from the Lu Family, and become a discarded pawn?

A good-for-nothing with no cultivation, yet in less than two months, he managed to break through to the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm.

Evidently,

Lu Fengming must have obtained an extraordinary opportunity during this time.

An opportunity that could allow a cripple to leap to the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm.

From this, one could imagine just how terrifying such an opportunity truly was.

Even Zhang Zhigang, a powerful expert in the Nascent Soul Realm, was tempted by it.

He already had a plan.

While he wouldn’t go as far as killing Lu Fengming, he would definitely imprison him and interrogate him through torture.

He would extract the secret of the opportunity from him.

Zhang Zhigang was about to utter a harsh threat, but Lu Fengming mercilessly interrupted him.

“Old man, shut your mouth. What if it’s Tianqing Academy? My rules are the rules of Lu Fengming.”

If your Tianqing Academy’s people provoke me and don’t offer compensation today, then don’t blame me for being impolite to your Tianqing Academy’s people.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience erupted in an uproar.

“My heavens, what am I seeing? This is simply outrageous!”

“Lu Fengming is nothing more than a discarded son of the Lu Family. How dare he speak to our Dean like that?”

“Arrogant, simply arrogant and overbearing! He still thinks he’s the eldest son of the Lu Family. Even the Lu Family Old Ancestor wouldn’t speak to our Dean in such a tone.”

“Who would have thought that Lu Fengming, a discarded son of the Lu Family, would actually turn the tables, not only acting arrogantly at Tianqing Academy but now also demanding compensation from Tianqing Academy?”

...

Everyone began to chatter and discuss animatedly.

No one had expected Lu Fengming to be so arrogant and conceited.

He even dared to be so presumptuous in front of Zhang Zhigang, the Dean of Tianqing Academy and a Nascent Soul Realm expert.

Zhang Zhigang was so angered by these words that he laughed, then sneered, “Lu Fengming, you are the boldest junior I have ever met. I wonder if you can withstand my wrath.”

“You’ve got that backwards.” Lu Fengming smiled calmly, “What you should be considering now is whether your Tianqing Academy can withstand the wrath of Lu Fengming.”

As Lu Fengming’s voice faded, he flashed, carrying Nangong Wan’er, and appeared before the Seventh Prince.

With one foot each, he stomped the Seventh Prince and Nangong Wan’er under his feet.

“Zhang Zhigang, you are a powerful expert in the Nascent Soul Realm, so what?”

“I’d like to see if you’re faster, or if Lu Fengming is faster.”

Lu Fengming’s gaze was sharp as he stared intently at Zhang Zhigang, saying, “Go ahead and make a move if you dare, but I guarantee that the first to die will definitely be the Seventh Prince and Nangong Wan’er.”

“Lu Fengming, what exactly do you want? Release the Seventh Prince and Nangong Wan’er immediately, or I will tear you to pieces!”

Zhang Zhigang’s gaze also became somewhat panicked.

Threatened!

It had been years since anyone dared to use such tactics to threaten him.

Now, he was actually being threatened by a junior like Lu Fengming.

Although Nangong Wan’er had a noble status and her family also held some influence,

even if Lu Fengming killed her, Zhang Zhigang wouldn’t be too afraid.

The problem was the Seventh Prince; he was a Prince of the Tianyan Dynasty.

If he truly died at Lu Fengming’s hands, and at Tianqing Academy,

the relationship between Tianqing Academy and the Sky Flame Dynasty Royal Family would become strained.

Especially at such a crucial moment, such an accident absolutely could not occur.

Lu Fengming did not answer him, merely increasing the pressure of his foot.

The Seventh Prince and Nangong Wan’er were already grimacing and looking extremely pained, trampled by Lu Fengming’s physical strength.

The Seventh Prince, being trampled under Lu Fengming’s foot, felt his resentment towards Lu Fengming grow even more.

“Damn you, Lu Fengming, just you wait. You are courting death.”

“I will definitely have my revenge, and I will repay the pain you inflicted upon me a thousandfold, ten thousandfold.”

Under duress, even with all his unwillingness, the Seventh Prince could only roar in his heart, not daring to show any resistance on the surface.

Nangong Wan’er had long since surrendered under Lu Fengming’s oppressive might, and could only silently endure everything.

“Lu Fengming, that’s enough.”

Zhang Zhigang gritted his teeth.

Being threatened to his face was like a slap to his dignity.

Where would he be able to put his old face from now on?

“It’s only just begun, how can it be enough?”

“Dean Zhang, if you have the guts, strengthen your aura, but if the Seventh Prince and Nangong Wan’er are suppressed and killed under the shroud of your aura, then it’s not Lu Fengming’s fault.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhigang could only retract his aura and say through gritted teeth, “Speak, what exactly do you want?”

“Very simple, compensation!”

“Compensation!”

...

With that, Lu Fengming presented a long list of compensation.

All of them were poisonous pills and poisons with very strong side effects.

Although they could, to some extent, enhance a cultivator’s strength,

if so many pills were consumed, even a stomach of copper and iron would be thoroughly poisoned to death.

Therefore, these pills were completely useless to cultivators.

They were the kind of existence that was useless to keep but a pity to discard.

Being insulted so nakedly by Lu Fengming, Zhang Zhigang was both angry and hateful, yet helpless.

To preserve the life of the Seventh Prince, he was forced to agree to Lu Fengming’s humiliating demands.

The system’s notification also rang in Lu Fengming’s mind.

“Ding! The host has threatened and blackmailed Zhang Zhigang. The host has gained ten thousand evil points.”

“Ding! The host has humiliated and threatened the Seventh Prince and Nangong Wan’er. The host has gained four thousand evil points.”

As expected of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.

After this wave of harvesting, Lu Fengming’s heart could only sum it up with one word.

Awesome!

“Dean Zhang is truly a straightforward person. In that case, I’ll leave these two good-for-nothings to you.”

With that, Lu Fengming grabbed with both hands, channeling all his strength, and hurled the Seventh Prince and Nangong Wan’er towards Zhang Zhigang’s location.

Then, his figure transformed into a streak of light, swiftly departing the area.

Only a livid Zhang Zhigang and several bruised and battered individuals remained.

Zhang Zhigang reached out and caught the Seventh Prince and Nangong Wan’er, his old face already a mosaic of green and purple.

In his extreme anger, it had become twisted and distorted.

The dying Seventh Prince’s eyes held an undisguised killing intent.

At this moment, he was utterly miserable.

His entire body was soaked in blood.

Even his intestines had been beaten out by Lu Fengming.

He was merely a step away from death.

Lu Fengming did not directly kill the Seventh Prince.

To slay such a useless person would have been as easy as turning over his hand.

If Lu Fengming had truly done so, that old fellow Zhang Zhigang would probably have fought Lu Fengming to the death.

Although with Lu Fengming’s current strength, even if he couldn’t defeat Zhang Zhigang, self-preservation would be more than enough.

But if he were targeted by such a Nascent Soul Realm expert and his progress was delayed,

then when the experts of the Sky Flame Dynasty Royal Family and the Lu Family arrived, a dead end also awaited Lu Fengming.

In any case, today Lu Fengming had already gained tens of thousands of evil points.

And he had extorted a large pile of pills from Zhang Zhigang.

It could be considered a bountiful harvest.

Not being greedy for immediate results, he knew when to stop.

Anyway, with a steady flow, Lu Fengming was not in a hurry.

Sure enough, not long after Lu Fengming retreated, two extremely powerful auras swiftly descended.

Two old men arrived beside Zhang Zhigang.

If Lu Fengming were still there, he would certainly recognize them.

These two old men were the Lu Family Old Ancestor and the Tianyan Dynasty Royal Family Old Ancestor.

Two Nascent Soul Realm experts.

Their strength was far superior to Zhang Zhigang’s.

“Damn it, failing to beat the tiger and getting bitten instead. We should have killed Lu Fengming directly back then, and we wouldn’t have caused such trouble.”

The Tianyan Dynasty Royal Family Old Ancestor, after learning the full story of the incident.

Knowing that Lu Fengming not only hadn’t died but now possessed the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm, he couldn’t help but let out a roar of anger.

“It’s no use talking about that now. Quickly issue an order to fully apprehend Lu Fengming. Capture that scoundrel.”

The Lu Family Old Ancestor narrowed his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

From a cripple to a powerful expert at the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm, who knew what extraordinary opportunity Lu Fengming had gained?

It was probably an even greater opportunity than the Divine Dragon Luck on Lu Fengming’s body. If his Lu Family obtained it,

the Lu Family was originally the number one family in the Tianyan Dynasty. After annexing half of Lu Fengming’s Divine Dragon Luck, the Lu Family’s strength grew even greater.

If they were to seize the opportunity on Lu Fengming’s body, they might even have the ability to replace the Sky Flame Dynasty Royal Family and become the new Royal Family.

As soon as he thought of this, the Lu Family Old Ancestor became excited.

Regardless of what the Sky Flame Dynasty Royal Family thought, the Lu Family Old Ancestor returned and mobilized all the power the Lu Family could muster to relentlessly pursue Lu Fengming.

The Sky Flame Dynasty Royal Family also had similar thoughts and issued a wanted order in the name of the court.

For a time, Lu Fengming became the target of a full-scale manhunt throughout the Tianyan Dynasty.
