Reborn in the Great Yan Dynasty: I Cultivated to Become a Martial Saint Through Telekinesis

Chapter 51 Stripped Naked

After suffering defeat after defeat, You Chendong had completely lost the will to compete with Mo Zheng.

Not only him, but who else is confident they can defeat Mo Zheng?

Even if they were all unharmed, given the speed and power Mo Zheng just displayed, he would absolutely crush them.

Moreover, the opponent had another sword that had not yet been drawn.

"Don't argue."

Zhao Teng clutched his shoulder; the force of that sword strike was too great, exceeding the limits of the Stone Skin Realm and breaking his shoulder bone.

He asked unwillingly, "Did you use the heart blood of the Azure Flame Bird to increase your strength so quickly?"

Mo Zheng nodded. There was no need to hide it; everyone had seen him slip away with the Azure Flame Bird's heart and demon core.

"Is the heart's blood of the Azure Flame Bird really that potent? Your strength far surpasses ours," Li Zhujie said, somewhat incredulously.

According to ancient records, the blood of the Azure Flame Bird can help temper the flesh and skin, but it is mainly for martial artists at the Ox Skin Realm. Once used, they can usually break through the level within a few months to a year. It is not as helpful for martial artists at the Stone Skin Realm.

Therefore, they abandoned the Azure Flame Bird's heart blood and focused solely on obtaining the Blood Awakening Grass.

To everyone's surprise, Mo Zheng's strength was terrifying. His first-tier armor and stone skin were as fragile as paper and tore through in an instant!

Previously, this kid was just like He Liangcheng and the others, completely at his mercy. But now that the Azure Flame Bird Blood has grown to this level, he is unwilling, extremely unwilling!

Both Zhao Teng and Li Zhujie wore expressions of grief and regret, clearly deeply remorseful for not taking the Azure Flame Bird back then, which led to this current situation.

However, what they didn't know was that Mo Zheng had indeed just broken through to the Stone Skin Realm. But with the help of his mental power, he had built a solid foundation for each realm, starting from the Blood Qi Realm. This step-by-step accumulation had brought him to the Stone Skin Realm, where his strength was unmatched by ordinary Stone Skin Realm cultivators.

"You all seem to be dissatisfied?"

Mo Zheng smiled and said, "If you still have designs on the Blood Awakening Grass, then bring it on."

The crowd fell silent once again.

If it were possible to compete for it, who wouldn't want to compete for the Blood-Awakening Herb?

However, in the current situation, everyone was injured. Although You Chendong and the others dared not kill, they did not hold back. The five martial arts hall disciples who were at the Bull Skin Realm had all had one arm and one leg broken, making it difficult for them to even move, let alone fight.

As for You Chendong and the other two, they had already been defeated when they joined forces. Now, with new injuries inflicted by Mo Zheng, what could they do even if they attacked again?

"Why wouldn't I choose the Blue Flame Bird...?"

He Liangcheng pursed his lips, feeling a dryness in his throat.

He was the one who discovered the Azure Flame Bird and the Blood Awakening Grass first, but in the end he got nothing.

If he had chosen the Azure Flame Bird back then, would everything have been different?

Regret, jealousy...

This wasn't just his thought, but the thought of almost everyone present.

If they had chosen the Azure Flame Bird, would the outcome be different now?

But time cannot be reversed, and they have no chance to choose again.

Zhao Teng looked at the Blood-Awakening Herbs with reluctance.

He sighed and said, "Junior Brother Mo, I admire your strength."

After all, he turned around and wanted to leave.

If you are not as skilled as others, being unwilling to accept it is useless.

Seeing this, Li Zhujie snorted coldly, put away his two short swords, and was about to leave as well.

The matter of the Azure Flame Bird is over, and we haven't even managed to get a single Blood Awakening Grass. What's the point of staying here?

"Wait a minute, do you intend to just leave like this?" Mo Zheng suddenly interrupted.

The two stopped at the same time, and when they turned around, their faces were full of anger.

Li Zhujie angrily retorted, "I've already given you the Blood-Awakening Grass, what more do you want?!"

"The use of the word 'let' is somewhat biased."

Mo Zheng smiled and said, "I remember that just now, my senior brothers didn't want to give me a single one."

Zhao Teng said irritably, "Everything is yours now, why bring up what happened earlier? What do you want with us here?"

"The abbot has stated that within the secret realm, there are no taboos as long as there is no killing among ourselves. Since you have all been defeated, although I cannot kill you, surely you should leave behind your belongings?"

Mo Zheng's meaning is very simple: two words, robbery!

Everyone naturally understood the meaning behind it. Li Zhujie opened his mouth to curse, but at this moment, with a "whoosh," You Chendong, who was lying on the ground, had already jumped up and fled frantically into the distance with a look of terror on his face.

Others were not quite clear about the meaning behind what Mo Zheng left behind.

He had met Qu Fei and Liu Changfeng, but he knew all too well the shamelessness and terror of the boy behind them.

If he hadn't had the beast-attracting incense before, he would most likely be in the same situation as those two guys, wearing animal skins.

"run?"

Mo Zheng laughed. Even if the opponent wasn't injured now, he would still have a hard time escaping in front of him, whose strength had greatly increased, let alone now.

In the blink of an eye, he had caught up with You Chendong and kicked the young master of the You family hard in the waist. The irresistible force sent You Chendong flying, rolling several times on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust before finally stopping.

So fast!

Seeing You Chendong being caught up in an instant, Li Zhujie and Zhao Teng, who had originally planned to take this opportunity to escape, were greatly alarmed.

He was much faster than everyone else; there was no way he could escape!

"Wow……"

Severely injured, You Chendong coughed up a mouthful of blood, his vision blurred, and he could barely move, let alone escape.

Mo Zheng stepped forward and reached out to peel off his soft armor.

A second-tier suit of armor is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and a better one can be worth even more.

"No...don't..."

You Chendong said weakly, "The armor is yours... all of it is yours... but please keep the clothes..."

He was almost in tears.

The master is watching from outside. If he loses three times and is stripped naked, what face will he have left?

He didn't want to experience the way Liu Changfeng and Qu Fei hid in the bushes.

Mo Zheng completely ignored him. You think you can just tell me to stay and I'll stay? What are you going to say when you tell me to kneel down?

What if there's silver hidden in the clothes?

He expressionlessly pulled at his clothes, and in just a few breaths, You Chendong was completely naked.

"I...I...you..."

Looking at the horrified gazes of the crowd not far away, You Chendong felt a surge of shame and indignation. With so many people watching, this matter was bound to spread. How could he explain this to his teacher, the You family, and his brothers in the Qianlong Society?

Disgrace, an utter disgrace!

Overwhelmed with anger, You Chendong let out a muffled groan and fainted.

"Three thousand taels of silver notes and three bottles of pills. Senior Brother You did bring some with him when he went into the secret realm... Hmm?"

Mo Zheng was calculating his gains when he suddenly saw You Chendong faint, which surprised him.

Did she faint from anger?

That's incredibly petty.

Didn't you see Qu Fei and Liu Changfeng? They were naked and still using animal skins to cover themselves, and they came to kill the Azure Flame Bird despite being injured. This Senior Brother You is far too fragile.

What he didn't know was that the animal skins of Qu Fei and Liu Changfeng were hunted by You Chendong; otherwise, the two would still be hiding naked in the jungle, not daring to show themselves at all.

You should know that everyone who can get into the Liangzhou Martial Arts Academy is a chosen one of heaven. Who can accept such a humiliation?

"run!"

Originally despondent, Li Zhujie and Zhao Teng, upon seeing that Mo Zheng's so-called left-behind items were left in such a way, disregarded whether they could escape and frantically fled.

They would rather die than have their clothes stripped off in front of teachers and so many people!

"Haha, you two senior brothers should stay."

Seeing that the two were trying to escape, Mo Zheng was not about to let the silver that was already in his mouth fly away, so he immediately chased after them.

He pushed the movement techniques of the Wind Shadow Sword Technique to their limit.

Afterimages appeared, layer upon layer, as if swept past like a gust of wind.

Before the two men could run more than a few steps, Mo Zheng's figure caught up with them like the wind. After only a few clashes of weapons, Li Zhujie and Zhao Teng were lying on the ground, with new wounds on their bodies.

Forget about escaping, they can barely even move now.

Even at their peak, they are no match for Mo Zheng now. Moreover, after a fierce battle, they have exhausted a great deal of energy and were even injured by Mo Zheng. How could they possibly escape?

"My apologies, senior brothers!"

Without wasting words, Mo Zheng quickly stripped them of their clothes and armor, and collected all the valuables.

Two more naked bodies lay on the ground, filled with tears, shame, and anger.

After packing the items into the package, Mo Zheng wielded his sword, tearing the remaining clothes into pieces.

After doing all that, he turned his gaze to the other five martial arts hall disciples who were lying motionless on the tree and the ground.

"What...what are you going to do?!"

"We didn't lay a hand on you!"

"Are you going to strip us naked?!"...

The five men panicked when they saw the look in Mo Zheng's eyes. They hurriedly shouted and yelled, fearing that Mo Zheng would make them suffer the same fate as Li Zhujie and the others.

The two female disciples, in particular, were almost in tears. Who would have thought that this young-looking boy would have such a fetish?

Some even thought of Qu Fei and Liu Changfeng, who were wearing animal skins. They had asked each other why they were doing this before, but now it seemed that it was all Mo Zheng's ruthless act.

Looking at the panicked crowd, Mo Zheng laughed and said, "Senior brothers and sisters, don't be anxious. Since you haven't attacked me, I won't strip you of your clothes."

"However, since the inner sect assessment task has changed, there's no use for you keeping the Rejuvenation Grass. Why don't you give it all to your junior brother?"

He has principles.

Since no one did anything, the clothes should naturally be kept. However, a thief never leaves empty-handed, and having finally stumbled upon the thief, one should naturally try to gain as much as possible.

A single Rejuvenating Grass can be worth a thousand taels of silver, which is about the same price as hunting an ordinary first-tier demon beast. It's roughly enough to buy two Qi Gathering Pills, which is no small sum.

"for you!"

The woman who had initially rushed out to grab the Blood-Awakening Grass threw out several Rejuvenating Grasses without hesitation, saying, "Take them all, but don't touch me!"

With her taking the lead, everyone else rushed to throw out the rejuvenating herbs they had picked, and in an instant, the ground was covered with them. A rough count showed no less than twenty or thirty plants.

Compared to being stripped naked and displayed in public, the mere Rejuvenating Grass was something these martial arts disciples naturally knew how to choose.

"Thank you very much then."

Mo Zheng put away the Rejuvenating Grass, overjoyed. This was tens of thousands of taels of silver in his account, much easier than dealing with the demon beast.

After finishing all this, he went forward to pick the Blood Awakening Grass. In no time, all thirteen Blood Awakening Grasses were in his bag.

As for the Blue Flame Bird's egg, he didn't touch it.

The cubs and eggs of these first-tier demonic beasts have little value other than being eaten, and even if they hatch, they won't recognize their owner.

It's not that no martial artist has tried to deal with demonic beasts; however, although demonic beasts are intelligent, they are extremely cruel by nature and cannot be tamed at all.

During this time, everyone present watched quietly, and no one had any other thoughts about the Blood-Awakening Grass, nor dared to have any other thoughts.

Li Zhujie and his two companions serve as a cautionary tale.

"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, now that this matter is settled, I will take my leave!" Mo Zheng said with a smile and cupped his hands.

Nobody paid any attention to him.

The three naked bodies lying on the ground looked at him with eyes that seemed to want to devour him alive, while the five people in the Bullhide Realm dared not speak out in anger, but at least managed to force a smile, secretly wishing he would leave as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Mo Zheng didn't say anything, and quickly left with his bags.

Just as his figure disappeared, a series of curses and shouts came from behind, clearly suppressed for a long time.

……

"Revenge! I must avenge this!" Li Zhujie roared.

I dared not say before, but at this moment, what is there to worry about?

Not a single Blood-Awakening Grass was found, and we suffered such a great humiliation!

"Revenge? How?"

Zhao Teng said with a bitter expression, "His strength has surpassed ours in every aspect. Even putting aside the increased power due to the Azure Flame Bird, are you confident you can withstand his swordsmanship? You must know that he can use two swords like Lan Jun, but he only used one sword against us."

A sword.

Thinking about the boy's swordsmanship, Li Zhujie's face became even uglier. That sword strike was not only fast, but also very strange. It was impossible to grasp the sword path, which was why he was easily injured by the boy.

One sword could easily deal with him, two swords would be even easier.

The others also looked displeased upon hearing this.

Everyone has the desire for revenge, but the key issue is that the current gap in strength between them is too great.

"He has only been in the Martial Arts Hall for two months, yet he has performed so well in this secret realm. The hall will surely do its utmost to cultivate him, and his future achievements will undoubtedly surpass ours. You should all abandon the idea of ​​revenge," Zhao Teng advised.

He had a clear understanding of the situation.

Mo Zheng did indeed humiliate them.

But what can be done?

My physical cultivation is inferior to his opponent's, and my external martial arts skills are also far behind. Not to mention that his opponent is young and has unlimited potential. Once he goes out, he will definitely be sought after by many teachers. How can I take revenge?

Would you rather be stripped naked and humiliated?

"That's not necessarily true. If he encounters a bottleneck in his external martial arts skills, and it takes him ten or twenty years to make further progress, then we might still have a chance!"

The speaker was You Chendong, who had already woken up.

Of all those present, no one hated Mo Zheng more than he did.

He was defeated three times in a row, and even stripped naked, causing him such a humiliating defeat that he wanted nothing more than to skin Mo Zheng alive!

There are many examples of people encountering a bottleneck in their external skills and being unable to make any progress.

However, those are ordinary martial artists. Would a genius like Mo Zheng be stuck at a bottleneck and unable to break through?

Nobody has the answer.

However, the three of them were the ones whose hatred ran the deepest.

The Blood-Awakening Grass, worth millions of taels of silver, was snatched away just a step away from them. Anyone would be heartbroken, not to mention the part about being stripped naked and paraded in public.

Yuan Shouxin and his group, however, did not feel much of a difference; they only lost a few Rejuvenating Herbs.

They were even somewhat relieved that Mo Zheng had kept his promise and hadn't stripped them naked.

"You are the young master of the You family, so naturally you can deal with whomever you want. If you want to deal with Mo Zheng, go ahead and do it yourself; I don't want to get involved."

Zhao Teng, being the most level-headed, didn't respond at all. Instead, he said to Li Zhujie, "Let's go get some Rejuvenation Grass together. We still have a day left; we can't go into the secret realm empty-handed, can we?"

"good!"

Li Zhujie also understood and agreed. The two of them limped towards the edge of the woods, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

"you……"

Seeing that the two had no intention of joining forces with him, You Chendong frowned, clenched his fists, slammed them on the ground in anger, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't fight..."

……
