Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2033: Absolutely Arrogant to the Heavens!

Many harbored deep skepticism regarding Ye Haochuan’s score, yet none dared to voice their doubts about the integrity of Half-Mountain Residence, leaving them feeling quite exasperated.

Each of them felt a surge of indignation at being outclassed by a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage, vowing to decisively deal with Ye Haochuan in the upcoming matches to demonstrate that they were far from insignificant.

"The results for this round are final. Now, let us commence the second round!" Ge Ping, emerging from a momentary trance, began to elaborate on the rules for the next stage: "This round will not focus on cultivation; instead, a grand formation will be activated to equalize everyone’s cultivation base, thereby revealing your innate combat prowess!"

This straightforward declaration concisely defined the parameters of the competition.

Before long, all participants were summoned into the elaborate formation. The instant Ye Haochuan stepped within its boundaries, he sensed his Qi level surge dramatically, unexpectedly escalating to the Immortal Transformation Early Stage.

Naturally, this elevation was only transient. The mystical formation functioned by averaging the cultivation levels of all individuals present, and as such, Ye Haochuan’s own Qi temporarily climbed to this unified average.

"You are free to select an opponent; the sole stipulation is a one-on-one engagement. Ganging up on others is strictly forbidden!" Ge Ping delivered this directive and signaled the commencement of the matches.

Damn, this is far too arbitrary!

Ye Haochuan could not help but grumble inwardly.

He had just managed to antagonize a considerable number of people, and with these rules in place, a multitude would likely seek him out as an opponent. If they were to challenge him one after another, Ye Haochuan would inevitably be exhausted.

Others also seemed to harbor reservations about this particular rule, but these hesitations quickly dissolved into anticipation. An innumerable quantity of gazes simultaneously shifted towards Ye Haochuan.

As fate would have it, the cultivator clad in gray, who had previously exchanged heated words with Cao Renshuang, coincidentally became Ye Haochuan’s first adversary. Simultaneously, Cao Renshuang also found himself targeted, initiating his own battle.

"Kid, you’re out of luck! Since you insulted this old grandpa earlier, I’ll make sure you experience what it truly means to be unforgettable!"

The gray-clothed cultivator hurled insults and then drew two daggers, launching a relentless assault upon Ye Haochuan.

The blades’ edges shimmered with a faint mist as they cleaved through the air, emitting piercing shrieks.

The Halberd of Heaven and Earth had sustained damage during the preceding engagement, compelling Ye Haochuan to wield the Divine Concealment Sword on this occasion.

Perhaps due to its recent enhancement and an eagerness to prove its mettle, the Divine Concealment Sword emitted a joyful hum as it was drawn.

Clang~

The two blades made fleeting contact before swiftly disengaging.

In the subsequent moment, the Divine Concealment Sword inexplicably materialized at the gray-clothed cultivator’s shoulder. Had Ye Haochuan so desired, he could have effortlessly severed the cultivator’s head and repurposed it as a chamber pot.

"How… how can you be so powerful?" The gray-clothed cultivator was visibly dumbfounded, utterly unprepared to be defeated in a single exchange by someone he had completely underestimated.

"You have lost!" Ye Haochuan announced calmly, a slight smile gracing his lips.

Given that this was merely a competition, Ye Haochuan exercised restraint, refraining from inflicting any serious harm. He sheathed his sword after delivering his declaration.

With only the cultivation base of a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, Ye Haochuan had previously been capable of defeating an opponent in the Immortal Transformation Early Stage with relative ease. Now, with the formation's boost, the disparity was even more pronounced.

Consequently, he barely registered the gray-clothed cultivator as a threat.

"No, I haven’t lost!" The gray-clothed cultivator suddenly snapped out of his stupor, bellowing in rage, and lunged once more with his dagger towards Ye Haochuan.

His inherent arrogance prevented him from accepting defeat at the hands of a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, fueling his impulsive actions.

Ye Haochuan observed him silently, making no move, appearing as if he were foolishly awaiting his demise.

Witnessing this, a malevolent glint appeared in the gray-clothed cultivator’s eyes. His dagger strike intensified, as if he were determined to cleave Ye Haochuan in two.

Clang~

Just as Ye Haochuan appeared on the verge of being struck down, the gray-clothed cultivator’s blade seemed to impact an adamantine surface, rebounding instantly.

"Attacking after surrender, utterly shameless!" A commanding voice resonated throughout the grand formation.

Subsequently, Ge Ping appeared to grasp at empty air, and the gray-clothed cultivator, mid-air, suddenly found his trajectory altered, swiftly pulled into Ge Ping’s grasp.

"Spare… spare me…" The gray-clothed cultivator, seemingly realizing the futility of his defiance, hastily pleaded for mercy.

"I shall not take your life!" Ge Ping stated with conviction. "However, an individual like yourself does not deserve such cultivation. Granting you power would only embolden you to inflict harm upon others!"

With those words, Ge Ping’s left hand moved decisively towards the gray-clothed cultivator’s Dantian.

"No!" Two voices cried out in near unison.

One was a mournful sound tinged with regret, emanating from the gray-clothed cultivator. The other belonged to Liu Yifei.

Despite the pleas from two voices, Ge Ping’s resolve remained unshaken. With a resounding boom, the cultivator clad in gray was reduced to a state of utter uselessness.

The gray-clothed cultivator’s face was a mask of disbelief. Mere moments ago, he was a peerless genius, celebrated among hundreds; now, he was nothing more than the lowest dregs of society. The turn of events was so abrupt and brutal that acceptance seemed impossible.

Liu Yifei’s brow furrowed slightly. “Senior Brother, isn’t that a bit excessive? They were only here to participate in the assembly…”

In the entire span of Ye Haochuan’s acquaintance with Liu Yifei, this was the first instance where her true emotions surfaced, her displeasure evident.

“Such shameless individuals, if not dealt with severely, will inevitably become a menace,” Ge Ping stated with stern conviction.

“But…”

“Enough!” Ge Ping’s raised hand halted her words. “All who aspire to join the Half-Mountain Residence’s Disciple Selection Meeting must adhere to our established regulations. Should his family harbor any grievances regarding my judgment, they are welcome to seek me out for a discussion!”

Such arrogance! It was boundless, reaching the very heavens!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but let out an internal sigh.

Ge Ping’s declaration clearly conveyed that within this world, the rules of Half-Mountain Residence reigned supreme—what incredible audacity!

While in awe of Ge Ping’s commanding presence, Ye Haochuan also began to grasp the depth of Ge Ping’s commitment to impartiality and justice.

He understood that any transgressor would face Ge Ping’s unyielding retribution, irrespective of their standing!

This dramatic spectacle served as a profound lesson for all the cultivators gathered for the Disciple Selection Meeting.

Those who had been contemplating schemes to eliminate Ye Haochuan and Cao Renshuang were compelled to reconsider. Self-destructive actions aimed at others were simply not a worthwhile endeavor.

The competition proceeded, and a cultivator, evidently close to the now-crippled gray-clothed individual, dared not direct his resentment towards Ge Ping. Instead, he channeled all his animosity towards Ye Haochuan, becoming his next adversary.

He harbored a firm belief that his own strength far surpassed that of the gray-clothed cultivator, and he was determined not to share the same fate.

Regrettably, his self-assessment was clearly inflated. Ye Haochuan effortlessly subdued him with a single maneuver. This time, unlike the previous encounter, the defeated cultivator did not lose his composure. After a moment of bewildered shock, he quietly withdrew to find a new opponent.

The rules of this chaotic melee did not mandate the expulsion of defeated participants from the arena; individuals were permitted to engage in multiple bouts, allowing ample opportunity to showcase their skills.

Concurrently, Ge Ping maintained a silent vigil, meticulously observing and documenting the performance of each participant from his vantage point outside the formation.

With this particular combat format in play, Ye Haochuan possessed an undeniable advantage. He naturally had the innate talent for overpowering opponents of a higher cultivation level. Now that all combatants within the formation shared an equal cultivation base, he wielded a dominant position, appearing virtually unstoppable.
