Ji Fu, coldly, sneered without allowing himself to take an open rebuff.

The oppression of women was not something conceived by a narcissist, but rather a circumstance perpetuated by women themselves in the realm of martial arts for countless years. Throughout a thousand years, not to mention a female saint, even female martial artists in the King Realm were considered rare.

Was it because men were fewer than women, that men were considered higher in status? Not at all. Rather, it was because most women relied on men’s strength to survive, causing men to be held in higher esteem. This was why he dismissed Tang Fengran and the other two with contempt.

Upon hearing Tang Luo’s words, Ji Ming and the others dismissed Tang Fengran and the other two with a cold snort, leaving the three women visibly irritated.

After a while, Tang Bin arrived with three disheveled young men, providing a clear picture of their recent merriment.

It’s true that a balance between hard work and leisure is necessary, but compared to the lively looks of the five boys standing with Ji Fu, the elders frowned upon the stark discrepancies.

“What in the world!” Tang Luo shook his head in disbelief, comforting himself that strength was not heavily reliant on mental state. He then turned to the three individuals, blank-faced, and said, “You’re finally here… Get ready.” Ji Fu glanced at the disheveled boys and scoffed silently, convinced that the items from those defeated were as good as free gifts.

Upon seeing the state of Tang Xing and the others, Xu Lao’s face, with his acute sense of smell, also soured due to the lingering smell of makeup.

Tang Zheng, who was carried by Tang Bin by the collar, faced the highly irritated head instructor of the First Cultivation Ground. He could not have imagined the three individuals before him, as the pinnacle of Mortal Realm martial artists currently in the First Cultivation Ground.

Tang Zheng was the son of clan leader Tang Zhi; Tang Man, the son of mountain chief Tang Kuan; and Tang Xing, the son of Sect Head Tang Sen. All of them were from strict households, but they seemed to have treated the fall hunt as an outing.

While Tang Zheng, at sixteen years old, could be excused, thirteen-year-old Tang Man certainly could not. Tang Xing, who stayed obediently in the tent, seemed well-behaved. However, when Tang Bin went to look for him, he distinctly heard another soft breath from inside the tent, presumably belonging to a girl of a tender age.

If it weren’t for the Sect Head’s urgent summons, he would have liked to throw these three unruly kids into the disciplinary confinement for punishment!

The three young men, on the other hand, were clearly terrified. They knew they had made a mistake, but they never realized the severity of their actions. Especially upon hearing Tang Luo’s previous words, they believed it to be a signal for their punishment.

Prepare? To prepare themselves for the whip? Tang Zheng almost fainted. He understood the rules about maintaining chastity until achieving transformation. However, he had read in a book written by a martial arts grandmaster that being close to the fairer sex would not hinder one’s cultivation as long as it was in moderation. This book had even cited many examples to support the point, thereby bolstering his courage to experiment. However, he dared not mention that he had gotten this notion from a random book in front of the Council of Elders. Upon recalling the punishment meted out by the rules for those who interacted sexually before their transformation, he realized he was in deep trouble.

If it were just him, he would willingly accept the number of times he needed to be whipped and the number of days he had to be confined. But, the two caught with him were Tang Xing and Tang Man, who were thirteen and eleven respectively. Although they were both top martial artists in the Mortal Realm, their bodies were not fully grown and could not withstand the whips.

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng bit his teeth and knelt on one knee before Tang Zhi, saying, “Honorable clan leader, Tang Man and Tang Xing made their mistakes because of my instigation. If there are to be punishments today, please punish me heavily. Tang Man and Tang Xing are still young. I beg the elders to consider that they were only following my lead and not to punish them too harshly!”

Upon hearing Tang Zheng take all the blame, Tang Man and Tang Xing, who were standing behind him, were so moved that they too knelt on one knee and said, “Please punish us, clan leader.”

Clan leader Tang Zhi was already displeased with Tang Zheng and the other two for being late, and their admissions of guilt, regardless of the occasion, only fueled his anger. Coldly, he said, “This place is under Tang Luo’s jurisdiction. If you want to apologize, apologize to Elder Luo.

Already accepting the blame without even knowing what the situation was, aside from being reckless, Tang Zheng was indeed disappointing, causing Tang Zhi to feel a pang of disappointment.

“Well, they’ve done well to show themselves up this time,” Tang Luo muttered, looking past the group of kneeling teenagers towards the contemptuous looks of the others. He found it both amusing and exasperating.

He initially had no fondness for Tang Zheng, who had encouraged his brother to break the ban on women, but was too preoccupied to teach him a lesson. But now that he saw Tang Zheng trying to absolve the two boys of blame immediately after the mishap, he couldn’t help feeling admiration.

Who doesn’t have a few bad friends in their youth? The reason why these friendships often last is not just because these friends encourage bad behavior, but also because they stand up for you when you’re in trouble. It’s what brotherhood is all about.

“Get up, the lot of you!” Tang Luo waved his hand at the three of them, sighing. “Let’s put off the punishment, turn around.”

The three confused boys turned around to see the contemptuous faces of Ji Ming and his party.

-Do you see now? In a moment, you, along with Tang Fengran’s team, will compete against that team.” Tang Luo pointed at Ji Ming and his four companions and said casually.

Tang Zheng was overjoyed. Learning that the urgent summons was not for punishment but for combat, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, who would want to be whipped if they could avoid it?

“Brother … Elder Luo, do we just need to defeat them?” Tang Xing was about to call him Brother Luo but remembered the clan rules and switched to Elder Luo. Tang Luo glared at him, hummed an affirmative, and said, “If you lose, Hl throw you into the disciplinary confinement for a good kicking from the soldiers of the Slaughter Immortal Army. Do you understand?”

The three of them shivered at Tang Luo’s words and quickly replied, “Understood!”

For a moment, the eyes of the three boys were filled with a fierce determination. They looked fiercely towards the other side, emanating an impressive aura. After all, having practiced martial arts extensively, they did not consider ordinary Mortal Realm martial artists as opponents. Not even if they had to face five opponents alone.

Ji Fu watched as Tang Luo’s side finally prepared themselves. He turned to the young men next to him and said, “Don’t hit too hard during the fight. Hit the mark, that will be enough. They are all delicate young masters, they can’t withstand your fists.”

“Yes!” The five boys named Ji responded in unison, their spirits high.

The conflict between the Slaughter Immortal Army and the two teams from the Tang Clan officially began.

In contrast to the women who needed to change their clothes, the boys who participated in the spring hunt only needed to smooth their clothes, ready for combat. Led by Tang Zheng, Tang Man and Tang Xing took a step forward, followed by Tang Fengran leading Tang Ya and Tang Zhen forward.

The five boys with the surname Ji stood emotionless in a formation of two at the front and three at the back, their intentions bracing for battle.

The three teams were in a standoff position, spiritual energy coursing through their hands. Ji Ming and the others did not plan to attack first but waited for the two teams of the Tang Clan to make a move. From their point of view, as long as they could withstand the initial fierce attacks of the two Tang Clan teams, the rest would be up to them.

Except for the combined attack technique, Ji Ming deemed himself capable of fighting five Mortal Realm martial artists from the Tang Clan single-handedly..
