"Then let's have some fun."
Yi Shuihan responded calmly.
"Don't worry, I'll be very careful and I definitely won't let you lose so quickly."
Lian Kuang moved his hands and feet, his face full of ill intent.
Lian Kuang is indeed very strong, and he is considered a strong person in the Karma Realm. Ordinary Karma Realm people don't even have the qualifications to hurt him. To put it another way, if we compare the strengths of all the evil realms, Lian Kuang has a defense that is almost invincible below the level of a Chaos Emperor. Only attacks at the level of a Chaos Emperor can cause him a fatal blow; otherwise, they will only cause minor injuries.
Yi Shuihan didn't show off too much, and didn't even launch any attacks. He simply exchanged blows and dodged, and was quickly dragged away by Yi Zhu Xiang.
Clearly, Yi Shuihan was not using her full strength, and the fact that Lian Kuang, who was going all out in this state, failed to achieve any results is enough to demonstrate Yi Shuihan's formidable strength.
"I'm annoyed, really annoyed, I never want to fight you again."
Lian Kuang looked at Yi Shuihan with frustration. Fighting Yi Shuihan felt terrible, like he had used all his strength but hit cotton.
Despite the discomfort, Lian Kuang acknowledged Yi Shuihan's strength; at least he couldn't defeat him. Therefore, Yi Shuihan had passed the first test of strength, and even the other school leaders didn't continue to make things difficult for him.
Chapter 1441, Crisis? Not at all.
After passing the skills test, Yi Shuihan and his group moved to a hall that was similar to the setup of a talent show.
The five leaders of the schools of thought sat on chairs on one side, while Yi Shuihan sat on a small table on the other side.
"Please begin your speech."
Yi Shuihan almost heard it as "Please begin your performance." It was really too much. He never expected that the explanation of such a high-level academic theory would be in this way. It was no different from an ordinary talent show, or even worse. There were only 6 people in the whole audience, including Yi Shuihan, and there were no spotlights.
Although he was somewhat unaccustomed to the current situation, Yi Shuihan quickly adjusted his state and began to expound on the theories of the school of thought he had created.
"The school of thought I founded is the Unity School, whose core theory incorporates the strengths of various schools of thought, takes facts as its main purpose, and practice as its means..."
Yi Shuihan's words caused the expressions of the people above to change slightly. If the school of thought that Yi Shuihan mentioned were to be established, it would have a significant impact on other schools. After all, the Unity School sounds like it can learn anything. In that case, one would not necessarily have to go to the Boxing Games to learn boxing, nor would one necessarily have to go to a school of body refinement to learn body refinement.
For most people, it's impossible to commit to one path from the start; they'll definitely want to try many different things. In this case, the Unity School is a good choice. If Yi Shuihan can fully develop the Unity School, other schools in the Holy Academy will basically be unable to recruit anyone. Over time, they will weaken and eventually be removed from the list of schools.
As the leaders of the school, they could naturally understand such a simple principle. Therefore, their eyes were full of hostility when they looked at Yi Shuihan. Even though they did not believe that Yi Shuihan was really capable of developing the Unity School, they were still unwilling to see the Unity School actually appear in the Holy Academy.
In the past, there have been other schools of thought that tried to establish themselves, but each time they were suppressed by other schools of thought and never really gained a foothold in the Holy Academy.
"That's quite a big deal, but even so, it won't have much impact on me."
Rong Shi Huang is very confident in his food. Even Yi Shui Han can't compare to him in this regard. There's no need to worry about those who love cooking joining the He Yi faction. Besides, everyone who joins the Gourmet Association will be under his control, so there's no need to worry about betrayal.
In fact, Yi Shuihan's creation of the Unity Sect will not only fail to affect Rongshihuang in the short term, but will also become an ally of Rongshihuang. Other schools will certainly not want to see Yi Shuihan grow stronger. When their attention is focused on Yi Shuihan, Rongshihuang can develop rapidly. And when other schools are no longer viable, seeing Rongshihuang standing strong, they will definitely try to win over Rongshihuang and gain some benefits.
Even in Rong Shi Huang's mind, if Yi Shui Han wasn't powerful enough, it wouldn't be impossible for him to join forces with other schools of thought to eliminate Yi Shui Han.
Ideas are just ideas. Back in reality, Yi Shuihan elaborated on his theory for more than three hours, which can be described as very detailed and can serve as theoretical support for the school of thought.
"That's about it. Of course, if you want to know more details, I can continue."
Yi Shuihan was quite impressed with himself for being able to talk for three hours straight without taking a breath. There was a time when he envied those who could talk for hours on end.
In a typical initial review, this is when they start to scrutinize the theory, find its flaws, criticize it, and denigrate it.
Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan's explanation was so perfect that they couldn't find any loopholes. As a result, they all looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, Quan Zhifeng spoke up and said that the preliminary review was over, and that Yi Shuihan should go back and wait for further notice.
Apart from the Food Emperor, the other school leaders left hastily after the event, as if they didn't want to see Yi Shuihan at all.
"If you have time, Fellow Daoist Yi, you are welcome to visit me more often and enjoy my delicious food. I believe my culinary skills will not disappoint you."
"The Emperor of Melting Foods said with a smile."
"I'll remember that. Just don't kick me out when I come here next time."
Yi Shuihan also smiled.
The two continued their conversation for a few more minutes before Rong Shihuang took his leave. As a member of the preliminary review panel, he also needed to report on the situation.
The academic conference was held again. The preliminary review panel reviewed Yi Shuihan's performance in the preliminary review and put Yi Shuihan's theory on the recording stone.
Knowing the core of Yi Shuihan's theory, most of the school leaders frowned, wanting to simply pass on Yi Shuihan, but no one dared to bring it up.
Nobody wants to be the first to speak out. Being the first to speak out means offending Yi Shui Han and leaving others with the impression that you are unreliable and petty. After all, Yi Shui Han hasn't even been established yet and you haven't even had any interaction with him, so why start suppressing him?
Another point to consider is what excuse they need to use to prevent Yi Shuihan from establishing the Unity School. As far as the rules for establishing a school of thought are concerned, Yi Shuihan has not made any mistakes.
The entire venue was silent for more than ten minutes before the moderator of the academic society finally spoke.
"So who supports the creation of the Unity faction?"
To create a school of thought, one needs the approval of a certain number of school leaders; if no one approves, it cannot be created.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the creation of the Unity faction."
"I also agree with the creation of the Unity faction."
The first one to speak was not the Meat-Eating Emperor, but the True Emperor of Painting; the second one was the Meat-Eating Emperor.
The two school leaders' words immediately broke the deadlock. Amidst the varying expressions of the other school leaders, the host announced that Yi Shuihan's Unity School had passed the school council's review and entered the final review stage.
The so-called final review is actually a trial review of a school of thought. Within one month, Yi Shuihan's He Yi School needs to recruit a certain number and quality of students. If the standard cannot be met, the He Yi School will ultimately fail to be established.
Clearly, other schools of thought would intervene in this final stage, and a message quickly spread throughout the Holy Academy.
"If anyone joins the Unity School, they will be refused entry to other schools of thought after the Unity School disappears."
This news wasn't official, but it wasn't entirely baseless either, and it had a certain impact. Suddenly, many people who originally just wanted to learn about the Unity Sect began to hesitate.
For half a month, not a single student from the Unity faction came to visit, plunging them into a crisis.
"Crisis? There is no such thing. Since you won't come, I'll come to you instead."
Chapter 1442, Forced Joining?
Yi Shuihan's every move was under the surveillance of other schools of thought. After discovering that Yi Shuihan had left the school's headquarters, all the schools of thought took it seriously and kept a close eye on Yi Shuihan's every move.
Not only those within the academy, but also ordinary students from the Holy Academy were curious about what Yi Shuihan would do next, watching the spectacle from afar.
Because of the informal atmosphere, these people didn't dare to approach Yi Shuihan. In fact, they would run away as soon as they saw Yi Shuihan coming, for fear of being misunderstood.
In an instant, Yi Shuihan seemed to become a raging flood, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.
"That's going a bit too far!"
Yi Shuihan looked at the people fleeing in a hurry, some even running away with their shoes and fans. Even though he had expected it, he was still slightly dissatisfied.
Damn it, if Yi Shuihan created a school outside, the number of people who wanted to join would probably require several teams from the Great Worlds. With the level of these students from the Holy Academy, there wouldn't be any room for them even if they wanted to join.
In fact, these people weren't running very fast, and Yi Shuihan could easily catch up with them. In fact, if he wanted to, he could simply wave his hand and bring them back.
Yi Shuihan is currently mainly concerned about saving face, and he's not in a particular hurry either. There are still about ten days left, so he can take it slow. In the end, he will definitely let go of his pride.
"Ouch!"
"Fuck!"
"boom!"
Because he was running too fast, a fat man lost his balance and fell, causing a chain reaction of rear-end collisions, which also affected the three people on his side.
Those who can join the Holy Academy are at least at the cultivation level. Normally, if they fall down, they won't get hurt at all. It might look bad, but they can just get back up. It won't waste more than a few seconds.
"Who is it?! They can't even run away properly, and they've dragged me into this mess."
"Yang Dapan, it's you, damn it."
One of the students who was implicated made a move to kick the fat guy who had initially fallen, but he stopped before his foot could fully kick out, staring in horror at what was behind Yang Dapan.
"Dear students, how could you be so careless! You fell down and got hurt! Come here, let me take a look at where you're hurt. Our Unity Party is very knowledgeable in healing, I guarantee it will be fine in one look."
"Um... I'm fine, really fine, no need to look, you can look after them, I'll go now."
The person furthest away had just stood up and, without even having time to tidy their appearance, was speaking as they backed away.
“You’re in trouble, and I think they think so too.”
"Yes, yes, he must be injured. I can tell, it's so obvious."
"That's right. It's impossible for him not to be injured after such a bad fall. Why don't you take a look at him first? He's probably just putting on a brave face right now, and his injuries might be even more serious than ours."
This is awkward. The guy who was quick to react and had a good idea actually tricked the others with his words. He was trying to please Yi Shuihan, thinking that Yi Shuihan would let him off if he was in a good mood. But Yi Shuihan clearly wouldn't let him off the hook.
"Well, since you all know you're injured, then come with me. I didn't even bring my tools."
Tools? What tools? Everyone present knew there was no injury at all; at most, they just fell to the ground and got their clothes dirty.
The group that had already stood up exchanged glances and fell silent. They didn't want to leave with Yi Shuihan, but they didn't dare to confront him directly. Yi Shuihan had passed the initial review and was now in the final review stage, so his strength was definitely at the Ye Realm level, which they couldn't afford to offend.
If they dared not openly resist, a silent resistance was acceptable. When Yi Shuihan told them to follow, their feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, and they did not move an inch.
"Let's go! Could the injury be so bad that you can't even walk?"
"Yes! We're too badly injured to walk. Don't worry about us, someone will come to help us later."
"That's it!"
It was obvious that these people were determined not to go with Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan looked at them with a slightly somber expression. Being looked at like that by Yi Shuihan put them under considerable pressure, both physically and mentally.
"tick"
A drop of sweat slid to the ground and quickly vaporized before it could even splash.
The small area where Yi Shuihan was located was experiencing abnormal temperatures. Not far away, there were many scouts watching this area, gloating over the unlucky few people in front of Yi Shuihan. They were not worried that Yi Shuihan would forcibly recruit people. On the contrary, they would be happy if Yi Shuihan did so. The Holy Academy's schools of thought cannot force students to join. Once discovered, they will be severely punished.
If the Unity Faction, which is in the final review stage, is found to have forced students to join, then the Faction will have grounds to determine that Yi Shuihan has failed.
In fact, some schools of thought have arranged for people to join the Unity School and then stage a play to have those who joined report Yi Shuihan for forcing them to join. However, this arrangement has not yet been implemented.
"Pfft!"
Yang Dapan, the fat guy, was the first of the three culprits who were blocked by Yi Shuihan to faint from the pressure.
"Oh well, the person has fainted. How could I, a kind person, just stand by and watch them die?"
Yi Shuihan released the pressure, walked up to Yang Dapan, stretched out his hand, and a rope slipped out of his hand, automatically binding Yang Dapan.
"Are you going to do the same as him, or will you go on your own?"
"Go by yourself...go by yourself."
There's no escaping this situation. Since there's no way to resist, the only option is to obediently submit. It's slightly better to walk away than to be tied up.
So Yi Shuihan walked ahead, followed by three walking corpses, moving incredibly slowly, as if they were heading to the guillotine. Yang Dapan was being dragged along the ground by a rope; it was fortunate that he had fainted, otherwise he would surely be filled with shame and indignation.
The spies who witnessed this scene reported the news, and after receiving the information, some schools of thought began to take action and implement their plans against the Unity Faction.
"Damn it! This Yi Shuihan actually forced students to join his school. This trend cannot be allowed to continue. I suggest that the Unity Faction be immediately declared the final verdict lost, and that people be sent to detain him and expel him from the Holy Academy."
“Yes, our Holy Academy doesn’t need people like that, and the Unity Faction has no reason to exist.”
"There is no evidence yet to prove that he forced people to enroll, but it would be better to go and check it out first."
"Then let's go and see, everyone go, and see what he has to say then."
Chapter 1443, The First Disciple to Join the Sect
While other schools of thought were still on their way to demand answers, Yi Shuihan had already returned to the temporary territory assigned to the Unity School by the academy.
Upon arriving at the destination, he casually sat down on a chair, and the rope binding Yang Dapan was taken back.
"Sit down, everyone. Make yourselves at home and don't be shy."
Yi Shuihan smiled and spoke gently, but to the three students it sounded like the whisper of a demon.
"Sir, could you spare our lives? What you're doing is wrong. The academy doesn't allow forced joining of sects."
"Yes! Sir, please have mercy and let us go!"
"Actually, we are not qualified. We have been in the academy for so long but have not found a school to join. We are not qualified to join such a powerful school as the Unity School."
Faced with the desperate pleas, Yi Shuihan felt a bit uncomfortable; he was truly unaware of his good fortune.
"Did I say I wanted you to join? I've never liked forcing anyone. If you show the slightest reluctance later, I absolutely will not force you."
Once you see my true skills, I don't believe you won't submit.
Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words, the three brothers in distress lit up, determined not to join the Unity Faction no matter what happened.
"Before that, I'll heal this little guy first."
As he spoke, Yi Shuihan waved his hand, scattering a patch of morning light. The light fell on Yang Dapan, who was lying on the ground, and the minor injuries and dust on his body caused by being dragged around quickly disappeared.
A moment later, Yang Dapan regained consciousness, but he fainted again when he saw Yi Shuihan, making the scene somewhat awkward.
