Yang Wei narrowed his gaze as he knew Xia Tingfeng was a fool that is simply arrogant by his so-called power.
"A punch like yours after powering up is still this slow…" Yang Wei mumbled softly and sighed.
Xia Tingfeng became irritated when he heard Yang Wei continued to disregard him.
'Hmph, ignorant brat, prepare to die,' Xia Tingfeng exclaimed inwardly as he no longer cared if he killed Yang Wei.
A nobody and an outer disciple would not have a single sect elder caring about the incident.
Hence, Xia Tingfeng believed no one would dare to fault him if he, the 56 ranked outer disciple, killed nobody.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei turned solemn when he noticed the murderous intent emanating from Xia Tingfeng.
"Heh, to think I have forgotten about the unreasonable people in the outside world." Yang Wei chuckled softly as he had forgotten this important detail.
Being by Elder Jing's side who is known for her dominating behavior, there was basically no fool going against her so Yang Wei has relaxed, forgetting about the most basic thing in the cultivation world.
Yang Wei turned solemn as he no longer cared if his punch cripples Xia Tingfeng or not.
Yang Wei slowly turned his hand into a fist and started injecting his true qi into it, causing a drastic change of aura surrounding him.
The disciples turned pale when they noticed Yang Wei's emitting an aura that belonged to a 9th Qi Condensation realm.
"Y-Yang Wei is a 9th Qi Condensation realm?" An outer disciple gasped in surprise and horror soon filled his eyes.
Xia Tingfeng was only in the 7th Qi Condensation realm and to think he was picking a fight against someone two stages higher than him.
Since Yang Wei did not emit any aura of his cultivation base because he was tired, no one else has noticed his true cultivation base until now.
Meanwhile, Xia Tingfeng turned pale as he noticed Yang Wei's cultivation base as well but he was already in mid-air so he couldn't stop at all.
"You reap what you sow," Yang Wei's expression darkened as he kicked the ground softly and propelled himself toward Xia Tingfeng.
"Octane Punch"
Yang Wei shouted as his punch materialized into a deadly aura that is piercing right at Xia Tingfeng.
Xia Tingfeng widened his eyes in horror as he quickly tried to block the incoming punch from Yang Wei.
BOOOM!
Xia Tingfeng was sent flying into the sky before dropping down a few moments later.
The other disciples trembled in fear when they noticed foam popping out of Xia Tingfeng's mouth and worse, his clothes and bones seemed to be shattered completely.
"O-One hit… Yang Wei only needed one hit to knock out Xia Tingfeng who is ranked 56th."
"I-I'm running."
As soon as one person shouted about retreating, the rest quickly followed behind.
They would be a fool to stay behind and offend Yang Wei further who is clearly more powerful than them.
Although they were confused about how he advanced this quickly, they did not have the courage nor an extra life to ask such a question.
Yang Wei watched them retreat like a coward without bothering to chase after them.
Instead, he glanced at the unconscious Xia Tingfeng.
'Since you're the one who said only that rules only applied to the weak then I'm guessing you're the weak one.' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he knelt down slightly.
Afterward, he started looting the unconscious Xia Tingfeng and stripped him completely naked.
"A fool should be treated like a fool." Yang Wei then said as he dragged Xia Tingfeng out of his courtyard.
Glancing around the surroundings, Yang Wei noticed a lamppost nearby before curving his lips upward.
Yang Wei inspected the spatial ring from Xia Tingfeng and smiled when he saw there were ropes in it.
"This saved me the trouble of looking for ropes." Yang Wei mumbled softly and started tying the ropes above the lamppost.
Afterward, he tied the naked Xia Tingfeng and hung him high up.
Once he was done, Yang Wei started heading back to his courtyard to rest, leaving the unconscious Xia Tingfeng in full display for others.
The next morning soon arrived and the outer courtyard had a huge commotion with gossip everywhere.
"Hey, did you guys hear about Xia Tingfneg?"
"Heh, who didn't know about that incident? I wonder who was the one that beat the crap out of that arrogant Xia Tingfeng and hanged him in the lamppost."
The disciples continued to whisper to each other as they discussed Xia Tingfeng's hanging in the lamppost.
Even now, Xia Tingfeng was still unconscious and had not awakened after getting punched by Yang Wei.
The commotion soon became huge and a sect elder had to come and attend to this matter.
"Where is Xia Tingfeng located?" The sect elder asked a nearby outer disciple.
The outer disciple paled as he quickly bowed in respect, "E-Elder Guo, X-Xia Tingfeng is located over there."
The outer disciple pointed in a direction and Elder Guo nodded his head.
Sometime later, Elder Guo arrived at the hanging location and twitched his mouth when he noticed the condition of Xia Tingfeng.
"That injury seemed to be from the Octane Punch. However, it seemed to be in the beginner level and has not yet been comprehended fully." Elder Guo mumbled softly as he looked around the surroundings.
Since the lamppost was near the outer disciple resting courtyard, he believed some may know the actual culprit or they could be the culprit themselves.
Soon, his eyesight landed on Yang Wei's courtyard and Elder Guo pondered inwardly.
'Out of every outer disciple's courtyard that I knew, that one seemed to be most suspicious since he has been absent from the Lecture Hall and hasn't shown himself a long time.' Elder Guo exclaimed inwardly.
However, Elder Guo didn't try to rush things as he jumped up and removed the ropes that were hanging Xia Tingfeng.
"His bones seemed to be shattered…" Elder Guo diagnosed his condition thoroughly before healing him up.
Once he finished the healing, Elder Guo forcefully woke Xia Tingfeng up and asked him about the incident.
"Disciple Xia Tingfeng, who thrash you and hang you in the lamppost?" Elder Guo asked when he saw Xia Tingfeng looking at him in confusion.
