Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 269: Lesson

```

Faced with such a domineering punch, Qinchuan remained unaffected, still just serenely shaking his head—it seemed the other party had not taken his words to heart.

While speaking, Qinchuan once again extended a single finger, firmly stopping Lei Heng’s fist about a foot away from his chest.

Then with a light tap, Lei Heng was sent flying backward, landing rigidly upon the stairs.

Seeing this scene unfold before them, the surrounding disciples couldn’t help but let out a chorus of gasps!

"What!"

"Still blocked with a single finger!"

"Is Brother Lei going easy?" At this moment, a junior disciple suddenly realized and exclaimed.

Hearing this, the onlooking disciples murmured among themselves, each saying, "Right, Brother Lei must be holding back! Even if this kid could win, it shouldn’t be this easy!"

Another disciple sighed and said, "Why would Brother Lei do this? But I must say, his acting is truly convincing; he almost fooled me too!"

The crowd went from initial astonishment to disbelief, and now to resignation, convinced that Lei Heng had deliberately held back.

Lei Heng, hearing the diverse discussions among the disciples, felt both embarrassed and ashamed.

He wished it was him intentionally holding back; that would be less awkward than this situation.

Lei Heng knew that in that punch, he had used one hundred percent of his True Qi Strength; such power was not something even a cultivator of the Dao Palace Realm could easily block.

"What kind of monster is this kid in front of me? Could he be some old freak who has concealed his Qi!"

Qinchuan lightly flicked away Lei Heng as if he had done something trivial, not bothering to continue with the other disciples. He proceeded towards the Burning Heaven Hall.

While passing by Lei Heng, Qinchuan finally made an indifferent comment, "Dao and Shang are moving in reverse, True Qi is in chaos; these are signs of backlash from over-cultivating the Nine Yang True Intent. To dispel the backlash is simple enough; circulate True Qi from Lingxu to Shang Qu..."

Upon hearing these words, Lei Heng’s originally reddened face instantly changed color, his eyes widening in shock as he stared at Qinchuan.

He had practiced the Nine Yang True Intent for over a decade without any issues, but just recently, when cultivating it, he suddenly noticed that the Qi in the Nine Palaces and Shang Qiu meridian points showed signs of occasional reversal and chaos.

He had assumed it was due to over-cultivation and, after taking a few elixirs to recuperate, did not think much of it.

Yet no one else knew of these matters. How could Qinchuan know? Connecting this to Qinchuan effortlessly defeating him earlier, Lei Heng became contemplative.

Getting up with a kip-up, he grasped his sword, attempting the method Qinchuan just described, practicing the Nine Yang True Intent stroke by stroke.

"It’s true! There’s no reaction from the Nine Palaces and Shang Qiu anymore!" After completing a set of the sword technique, the Qi in those two spots indeed stabilized—Qinchuan’s words were proven true!

And at this time, Qinchuan’s distant voice came again.

"Remember, for the Nine Yang True Intent, first refine the heart, then attend to the path; neither can be neglected."

Lei Heng understood that Qinchuan was far from simple on the surface; getting his guidance was certainly a stroke of fortune, and he took note of it in his mind.

His attitude towards Qinchuan underwent a drastic change.

The remaining onlookers watched as Qinchuan walked away, then they came together around Lei Heng.

"Brother Lei, why were you holding back?"

"Yeah, Brother Lei, that kid is too arrogant, you should’ve taught him a harsh lesson!"

Lei Heng murmured dismissively, "Rubbish, do you think I don’t want to teach him a lesson? But who knew this kid would be such a monster!" Enjoy more content from novelbuddy

But then he straightened up, standing tall and proud with a chest puffed out, shamelessly claimed, "Didn’t you see he was personally brought back by the Sect Leader? It’s likely he’s a Direct Disciple, your future senior brother. If I had made him look bad, who knows how he might make things difficult for me later!"

The disciples suddenly realized, so that was it!

Some disciples gave a thumbs up, praising, "How did we never realize our brother was so thoughtful? Reliable!"

```

Of course, many disciples also despised Lei Heng’s actions, huffing, "Has our brother also begun to grovel and pander?"

Even more disciples were filled with righteous indignation, "As long as that kid behaves himself from now on, it’s fine. But if he keeps being so arrogant, if I catch him, I’ll surely give him a good lesson!"

Lei Heng silently scorned the fellow disciples in the courtyard, thinking to himself, "You lot are not even as good as me, and yet you think of teaching him a lesson!"

He didn’t make a sound to remind them and instead patted the shoulder of the disciple who had threatened to teach Qinchuan a lesson, pretending to be serious, "Well done, brother. I believe in you. In a few days during the sect competition, you will definitely get your chance to properly teach this brat a lesson!"

...

Qinchuan strolled leisurely along the stone steps between the mountains.

A hundred thousand years have passed, and if it were the mortal world, everything would have changed beyond recognition, like seas changing into mulberry fields.

But the Burning Heaven Sect, after all, is a sacred place for cultivation, and has not changed much.

Qinchuan ascended the mountain with a familiarity bred of habit.

On the way to Burning Heaven Hall, there were nine checkpoints.

Yet he, holding Chi Shan’s token, passed through unhindered, quickly arriving above a Dao field in front of the great hall.

Currently, the Dao field in front of the hall was empty, devoid of any human presence.

Only a disciple was cleaning up the fallen leaves in front of the hall. Upon seeing the unfamiliar face of Qinchuan, he couldn’t help but take a couple more glances before returning to his task.

Above the clouds, the sound of distant chanting continued intermittently.

Finding himself with some free time, Qinchuan began to wander around the vast Dao field.

"Oh, this Seven Heart Begonia has actually blossomed."

"Eh, why is there only one Freestyle Brahma Fish left in the pond? Didn’t Chi Tian that fellow eat it?"

...

Qinchuan wandered in front of the hall for quite some time until he had looped around the Dao field several times, yet he still did not see Chi Shan and the others.

Growing a bit impatient, he shook his head to himself, muttering, "What is Chi Shan and those fellows doing, can’t they even deal with a mere Fusang Red Luan?" With that thought, he headed towards the area behind the great hall.

"Brother, be careful with your words. How can you call the sect leader by his name so casually!"

The disciple who was cleaning the Dao field did not recognize Qinchuan, but seeing that he had managed to pass through the nine checkpoints below to get here, he must not be an ordinary disciple. At the very least, he must be a direct disciple of some elder. Although he had seen Qinchuan disturbing flowers and teasing fish on the Dao field, he did not interfere.

Now, hearing Qinchuan’s words, he couldn’t help but speak up to remind him.

"Let alone Chi Shan, even Chi Tian and Chi Hai are happy for me to call them by their names." Qinchuan pursed his lips, a look of indifference on his face as he responded.

"You..." Jiang Yan’s face turned cold, about to lash out, but at that moment, he finally realized Qinchuan was actually heading towards the prohibited area behind the great hall.

No longer caring about Qinchuan’s disrespectful words, he quickly followed, attempting to stop him while loudly calling out, "Brother, the area behind the great hall is a prohibited area, you must not go there."

But before Jiang Yan had taken two steps, Qinchuan’s figure had already appeared at the entrance to the prohibited area, his steps light.

Flashes of light passed by the outside of the prohibitions, and his figure had already disappeared from view.

Leaving behind a flabbergasted Jiang Yan.

"What’s going on? Isn’t this prohibition only accessible to elders and above?"

"Could this kid be one of our sect’s elders?"

Jiang Yan quickly dismissed this unrealistic thought from his mind.
