Deity Hero: Me! Gaining Disciples Makes Me Stronger ! - Chapter 243
Chapter 243: The Competition Begins! ! !
Back then, when Xuan Yi was about to break through the Sage realm, it was the dean who gave him guidance.
One was for the sake of benefits, while the other was for the sake of sincerity.
Naturally, Xuan Yi would choose between the two.
Furthermore, the other party couldn’t even withstand a single strike from Xuan Yi, so what right did they have for Xuan Yi to devote himself to them?
One had to know that Xuan Yi still had the Heavenly King Bing Yu by his side.
In terms of prestige, he was no less than anyone else!
Tian Kong’s expression was extremely unsightly. He held onto the beauty and gazed deeply at Xuan Yi.
As the dean of East Saint Academy, it was always others who fawned over him. Even if they weren’t ingratiating, they were still polite. He had never been treated this way by anyone before.
Even though Tian Kong attended to their departure personally, he felt that Xuan Yi made him lose face. He even injured his vice dean.
Xuan Yi’s fighting abilities struck him greatly, and at the same time left him a deep impression.
He tore through space with the beauty and disappeared with a bang.
Xuan Yi only smiled faintly. He didn’t care about the words of East Saint Academy’s principal Tian Kong at all.
Regret?
In his early stage in the Sage realm, he was already able to confront skillful masters at the summit. By the time he reaches the summit of the Sage realm, he will have overpowered them immensely.
It wasn’t even clear who will regret it!
At this moment, outside Xuan Yi’s room, the principal of the Middle Saint Academy sensed the commotion and hesitantly pushed open the door to enter.
Xuan Yi smiled and looked at the principal quietly.
“Xuan Yi, did you agree?”
The principal’s chest squeezed tight with nervousness. After hesitating for a long time, he finally could not hold it in anymore and asked Xuan Yi.
East Saint Academy’s strength and foundation were indeed far beyond that of Middle Saint Academy. If he were to train in East Saint Academy, it would indeed be more than twice as good as training in Middle Saint Academy. The way others look at him would also be different.
Moreover, it was the dean of East Saint Academy, Tian Kong, who had personally welcomed Xuan Yi. This was already an extremely respectful act.
If Xuan Yi aimed for higher, he would have probably agreed.
Xuan Yi shook his head lightly. He looked at the anxious principal with a smile and spoke about what had happened just now.
“I gave them a chance, but it can’t be helped that they were incompetent!”
“That woman couldn’t even block one strike from me, and she still wanted me to go to East Saint Academy.”
The principal of Middle Saint Academy was shocked to hear Xuan Yi’s words.
Xuan Yi had just put his heart at ease. However, after those words, he was stupefied.
Did Xuan Yi mean that the vice dean of East Saint Academy was no match for him?
The principal knew that this woman stood at the peak of the Sage Realm and was an experienced sage veteran. Although she was the vice dean, she was far from weak, and was neck and neck with him, the principal of Middle Saint Academy.
Such a veteran sage master was surprisingly any easy opponent for Xuan Yi!
The principal of Middle Saint Academy was caught in a mixture of emotions. He was in awe. Xuan Yi’s improvement was too terrifying.
A few months ago, when Xuan Yi competed with Sun Sheng, he felt that his fighting abilities were still superior. However, not long after that, Xuan Yi’s fighting abilities had already become better than his!
The progress was astounding!
After receiving the reply he had hoped for, the principal of the Middle Saint Academy walked out of Xuan Yi’s room with a complicated expression and a heavy heart.
He finally understood that a person like Xuan Yi was a truly abnormal monster. Ordinary people, even extraordinary geniuses, were far inferior to Xuan Yi!
It made sense for him to feel overwhelmed. Otherwise, why would Xuan Yi be ranked first on the Yuan Board?
In this moment, the principal even envisioned that the stronger he was, the better it would be. When Xuan Yi reaches his peak, wouldn’t he be invincible!
Middle Saint Academy would rise to prominence then!
What great news!
The principal sighed and left.
Time flew by.
Three days later, the Competition of the Five Academies officially began!
Middle Saint Academy members packed everything up and flew towards the floating island above Wu’an city.
The floating island was composed of a towering suspended island, six medium-sized islands, and many small islands that circled around slowly. Strictly speaking, this was Wu’an city’s true form.
The Competition of the Five Academies of the South Continent had a profound impact, almost attracting the attention of the entire Golden South Continent. The vast Wu’an city could barely accommodate the enthusiastic friars who rushed over!
At present, everyone was discussing fervently on the floating island. Whenever a familiar extraordinaire appeared, they would all exclaim in unison.
Golden light flashed. Beichen Academy, third in ranking, appeared.
“It’s Chun Yang, ranked first in Beichen, attaining the ninth level in the Law Enforcement Realm. The sword energy of Chun Yang extends a vast and mighty 3,000 miles, strongest in Beichen history, an undefeated prodigy!”
Whoosh!
Xixing Academy, ranked second, also appeared, drawing a wave of wild cheers.
“Shangguan Ya, who practices the art of royalty and devours the spirit of murder, is rumored to have the spiritual manifestation of a white tiger. Her battle prowess is unparalleled!”
Everyone was raptured as they stared at the champions of the two academies, as well as East Saint Academy, who emerged after them.
Red light emitted behind the ten students of East Saint Academy. They were like the rising sun, dazzling as ever.
“The number one student of East Saint, Jin Wuling!”
The entire crowd fell silent. Following which, a terrifying wave of sound erupted. The acclamation was deafening. The entire Wu’an city descended into a sea of cheers.
Amidst such a boisterous scene, Middle Saint Academy and Nanzhan Academy quietly appeared on stage. Of the two academies, one was fourth and the other was fifth. Very few applauded for them.
However, the students of East Saint Academy casted their glance towards them, their gaze fixed on the students of Middle Saint Academy.
Before the start of the competition, the dean of East Saint Academy had called them together. He told them to strike ruthlessly when confronted with students from Middle Saint Academy.
“There’s no need to hold back. As long as you don’t die, fight them mercilessly!”
Tian Kong’s expression was unsightly, his eyes gloomy as he gave the order to kill.
Although killing was not allowed in the Competition of the Five Academies, severely injuring opponents was still permitted.
The students from East Saint Academy looked at each other with interesting expressions.
They examined the students from the Middle Saint Academy and grinned, hostility in their gaze.
Wouldn’t it be a piece of cake for them to beat Middle Saint Academy, whose ranking constantly dropped?
First, a Sect Master Realm master appeared. He was the host of this competition and was currently standing on the largest floating island. His voice overflowed with spiritual essence and shook the entire Wu’an city.
“The rules of this competition will be a continuation from past regulations. We will use the select and challenge system. Each academy will occupy a battle platform. I will randomly select candidates to fight in pairs.”
The rules were very simple. The winner would remain and the loser would be eliminated.
In the end, the top ten would be decided. Academies would be ranked according to the number of their students that remained in the top ten.
The Sect Master Realm master was an experienced host. He had appeared in every Competition of the Five Academies over the years. After announcing the rules, he pulled out a pitch-black cabinet and shook it slightly.
This cabinet was made of special materials and was called the “Spirit Severing Cabinet”. Even an Emperor Realm master would not be able to project his spiritual sense inside, not to mention cheating and the use of trickery.
Using the Spirit Severing Cabinet to draw out candidates was the most impartial method.
He threw out two jade talismans. On the jade talismans, it indicated clearly the opponent, their respective academies, and their names.
On one side was Nanzhan Academy’s third place, Su Le.
At the ninth level of the Law Enforcement Realm, his eyes shone faintly with shrewd light. He held a hammer in his hand, radiating a remarkable aura.
On the other side was Yan Wei, tenth place in Middle Saint Academy!
A brief silence fell among the crowd, and then everyone began to discuss.
