"Two old dogs, you still think you can leave here alive," Zhou Hong said with a cold laugh.
"Zhou Hong, I advise you not to be rash," Zhang Wenbo's grandfather warned.
"You can't even move your fingers now, what right do you have to threaten me?"
"Hmph, if you push us too far, we can self-detonate our Nascent Souls. Do you think you'll survive? If our Nascent Souls self-destruct, how many of these onlookers, teachers and students, will be caught in the blast and die?"
"Do you think threatening me with the self-detonation of your Nascent Souls is useful?" Zhou Hong snorted.
"Is it not useful?" Wanyan Protector also snorted with confidence.
"Two old dogs, why don't you recall what just happened? With such a powerful explosion, why did it only occur in this dormitory and not spread outwards?"
Suddenly, the faces of the two old dogs changed. After Zhou Hong's reminder, they finally remembered. That's right, with such a strong explosion just now, the entire dormitory building should have been flattened. However, it seemed to be contained within this single dormitory, with no impact on the outside.
"Two old dogs, do you think the power of your Nascent Souls self-detonating is stronger than what I did earlier? If you want to explode, hurry up. I guarantee that no one will be affected."
At this moment, Zhou Hong was not panicking at all, because he had already prepared for this. Before he entered, he had already considered that if they were to self-detonate their Nascent Souls, it would also endanger his life. Therefore, Zhou Hong had already sealed the space of this dormitory with a formation. If Zhou Hong could contain a nuclear explosion, how much more so their Nascent Souls self-destruction.
"Zhou Hong, let's talk properly," Wanyan Protector suddenly changed his tone.
"Heh heh, Wanyan old dog, if you have any last words, hurry up and say them."
"Zhou Hong, actually, there's no deep hatred between us. I only confined you for a few days and nights. For such a trivial matter, it's really not worth it."
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, you think it's a trivial matter, but I consider it an irreconcilable one."
"Zhou Hong, consider it me begging you. It's better to resolve enmity than to perpetuate it. If you spare me this time, I will definitely repay you with all my might. With my cultivation experience, I can definitely help you greatly." Wanyan Protector said almost pleadingly.
"Sorry, I don't need it. Your death is the best help I can get. Perhaps with the death of you two old dogs, my heart will be at ease, my mood will be greatly improved, and I'll break through another level."
"Zhou Hong, why must you be so ruthless?" Wanyan Protector roared in anger. This roar, however, only made him weaker.
Zhou Hong suddenly thought of a way to make them turn on each other.
"Alright, if you really want to live, then you have to completely fall out with this old dog Zhang. You have to curse him fiercely. If I'm satisfied, I might spare you. Anyway, this old dog Zhang is doomed to die."
Upon hearing this, Wanyan Protector did not hesitate much, as his life was on the line. What were friends compared to that?
"Old dog Zhang, you piece of trash, the reason I ended up like this is all thanks to your grandson, that little dog, and you, old dog," Wanyan Protector said, looking at the old dog Zhang.
"Brother Wanyan, to save your own life, you're willing to betray a friend. You've disappointed me greatly," Grandpa Zhang Wenbo said with disappointment.
"Old dog Zhang, please don't call me brother. I have nothing to do with you anymore. You are just an old dog. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you."
"Hahaha, hahaha." Old dog Zhang let out a loud laugh, for reasons unknown.
"Old dog Zhang, shut up!"
At this moment, Zhou Hong's lips curved slightly. In fact, the reason he made them turn against each other was not to satisfy his own inner desires. Zhou Hong guessed that if Wanyan Protector and old dog Zhang fell out, old dog Zhang would definitely self-detonate his Nascent Soul and take Wanyan Protector with him in death.
Therefore, Zhou Hong retreated outside the room.
As expected, old dog Zhang was enraged to the extreme.
"Wanyan old dog, do you think that just because you listened to dog Zhou's manipulation, he will really let you go?"
"Old dog Zhang, you old dog, you've caused me to be in this situation, and you don't even have a shred of remorse. If it weren't for your grandson, would I have offended Zhou Hong?"
"Hmph, Wanyan old dog, I never expected that our friendship of thousands of years would be so fragile. You want to live? Dream on." With that, old dog Zhang immediately self-detonated his Nascent Soul.
"Boom!" Within the limited space of the room, a dazzling light once again erupted, not much different from the previous commotion.
The self-detonation of a Nascent Soul of a late stage Soul Splitting cultivator was truly terrifying.
Fortunately, Zhou Hong had anticipated this and retreated outside the room.
Of course, the most important thing was that Zhou Hong's spatial sealing formation was incredibly powerful.
As the dust settled, the dormitory room was empty. Both old dogs had vanished into thin air.
Zhou Hong snorted slightly, feeling a surge of exhilaration. He had finally gotten rid of these two old dogs.
Meanwhile, the onlookers, in their horror, also felt a sense of dread towards Zhou Hong. Someone in the late stage of Soul Splitting who offended Zhou Hong was still found a way to be eliminated by him. Zhou Hong was only in the Nascent Soul stage, yet he managed to defeat someone in the late stage of Soul Splitting.
Originally, some teachers and students in the Primordial Academy were very jealous of Zhou Hong's strong cultivation talent, and some senior students even thought about eliminating Zhou Hong if they had the chance. But now, seeing Zhou Hong's immense power, those people no longer dared to entertain such thoughts.
Zhou Hong swept his gaze across all the onlookers, as if warning them with his eyes.
"Stop looking, everyone. Go back to what you were doing," Zhou Hong commanded sternly. If it were in the past, someone would have certainly cursed him, saying, "Who do you think you are?" But now, no one dared to speak and everyone dispersed.
However, Zhou Hong's feat of eliminating two late stage Soul Splitting cultivators single-handedly today would surely spread throughout the entire Tianyang Continent, and would even be recorded in the history of the Primordial Academy. Even students thousands of years from now would know of this legendary student who, in less than two months of enrollment, had achieved such heaven-defying progress.
It was unknown whether students thousands of years from now would lament with a sigh, "Such immense talent was ultimately stifled." Or if they would worshipfully wonder, "To what extent has this former senior student's cultivation reached now?"
Just then, Lu Qianqian flew over.
"Zhou Hong."
Zhou Hong turned to look at Lu Qianqian and smiled slightly, "Instructor Lu, did you see it all?"
"Yes," Lu Qianqian nodded, her heart pounding. She had also been among the crowd of onlookers and still found it hard to believe that Zhou Hong had actually managed to eliminate two late stage Soul Splitting cultivators.
