281: Chapter 281: The Final Ranking!
“You do know when to comply!”
Yan Cangtian released Tong Chengtai’s collar and directly reached into his pocket, fumbling for a while before producing an “Old Mud Ball.” With a large hand, he smacked it directly into Tong Chengtai’s mouth, forcing him to swallow it.
“What…
what did you make eat?” Tong Chengtai retched violently, his entire body shaking.
“Don’t worry, as long as you obediently comply, rember not to trouble Ling Feng from now on, be good to Ling Feng, let him take advantage when there’s benefit, and let him hide when there’s danger, I can assure you a long life of a hundred years; otherwise,” hehe…
Yan Cangtian grinned, “You know my alchemy skills.
The Poison Elixirs I refine can’t even be neutralized by the Divine Country Imperial Physician.
If you don’t believe it, feel free to try.
Without the antidote I provide every six months, you will definitely die a horrible death, your intestines ruptured.”
“You… you’re despicable!” Tong Chengtai’s old face turned purplish red in anger, but no matter how he clawed at his throat or retched, he could not expel that “poison.”
“Heh heh heh…” Yan Cangtian laughed heartily, raising his eyebrows, “You’re despicable, so I’m despicable.
Co on, Vice Dean Tong, there’s not much ti till dawn.
If Ling Feng doesn’t make it to the top ten tomorrow, tsk tsk tsk, I have a thousand ways to kill, and you can pick any.”
“You should know, even if I, this Old Madman, kill a vice dean or sothing, even that old man Mu Yun Sang can’t do anything to .”
As Yan Cangtian spoke, he patted Tong Chengtai’s shoulder and gave him a “take care of yourself” look.
The next mont, Yan Cangtian’s figure flashed and disappeared from the courtyard, completely gone without a trace.
A Half-step Emperor was indeed extraordinary.
“Yan Cangtian, rember this!”
Tong Chengtai was on the verge of madness, but no matter how unwilling or disgruntled he was at heart, he had to follow Yan Cangtian’s orders and revert the scores back to their original state.
Quickly dressing himself, Tong Chengtai threw on a large cloak and hurried back to his office.
…
Spiritual dicine Garden.
Ling Feng sat on the steps in front of the hall, sitting cross-legged, slowly activating the “Xuanyuan True Technique.”
Finally, Yan Cangtian returned looking very pleased.
He slapped Ling Feng on the shoulder and laughed heartily, “Kid, there’s definitely no problem now.
Just wait for the good news tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Elder Yan!”
Ling Feng bowed deeply to Yan Cangtian.
Even without asking about the process, Ling Feng trusted completely in Yan Cangtian’s words that everything was resolved.
“You, kid, everything about you is good, it’s just that you’re always so formal.” Yan Cangtian flung his sleeves, turned, and walked towards the hall, laughing loudly, “So, can you now join in refining the ‘Black and White Rhinoceros Elixir’?”
“Sure, I’d love to!”
With his concerns resolved, Ling Feng smiled wryly, ready to focus entirely on refining elixirs.
…
The next day, the results of the current beast hunting competition were announced.
Among all the new disciples, in the top ten, there were eight A-class Disciples, one Earth Character Disciple, and surprisingly, a Yellow Character Disciple, Ling Feng!
Ling Feng’s final result was seventy-two Middle Upper Grade Fourth-rank Demon Cores, narrowly outperforming Lee Bufan.
Tong Chengtai, in the end, to save face, did not record Ling Feng’s true score.
Instead, in accordance with his promise to Su Qingxuan, he ranked Ling Feng tenth.
After all, as long as one was in the top ten, they could receive the final mysterious reward, regardless of the exact position, and it also sowhat concealed Ling Feng’s true potential.
Such ranking, undeniably, sparked a heated discussion among everyone.
Ling Feng had recently joined the East Courtyard Sword Team, and thus, the rumors about him beca even more rampant.
Ling Feng had almost beco another legendary figure at Heavenly Position Academy.
When Su Qingxuan received the ranking results, she excitedly bowed to Tong Chengtai and said, “Then, Vice Dean Tong, I’ll be leaving first!”
“Uh-huh,” Tong Chengtai nodded slightly, only finding it odd that today this fellow was clad in a tightly wrapped cloak.
It was clearly a hot day, so why had Vice Dean Tong beco so susceptible to the cold?
Shaking her head, Su Qingxuan clutched her results and hurriedly left the Vice Dean’s office, eager to share the good news with the students of the East Courtyard.
Not long after Su Qingxuan had left, Lin Xian’er rushed into the office, her eyes brimming with hot tears, passionately saying, “Teacher, I was wrong about you, you really aren’t a hypocrite at all.”
Lin Xian’er also clutched a copy of the ranking list.
Seeing Ling Feng’s na, she initially thought that Tong Chengtai had a change of heart and corrected Ling Feng’s rank.
“Hehe…”
Tong Chengtai’s mouth twitched, swearing by all that is holy, if it weren’t for that damned Yan Cangtian, he would never change the rankings!
Never!!!
However, he hadn’t expected Lin Xian’er to change her opinion of him because of this; that had to be considered a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.
“Hehe, Xian’er, you are right.
I reflected a lot yesterday, and indeed, we really should seek the truth from facts.”
Tong Chengtai clenched his fist and sternly lectured Lin Xian’er, saying, “You really are my most outstanding student; only you would dare to speak so frankly with !”
“Hehe, so you were testing , teacher.” Lin Xian’er’s tears turned into smiles, when suddenly she rembered that Ling Feng was still “misunderstanding” the teacher, it seed necessary to clarify things to him tonight.
“All right, you may leave now.”
Vice Dean Tong’s face still bore the imprint of a slap; he certainly didn’t want his students to see that and embarrass himself even further!
“Uh-huh, then I’ll be leaving first, teacher.
You’re busy.”
Lin Xian’er left the office giddily; that great and noble teacher had co back to her.
Yes, this feeling was truly wonderful!
“Ah…”
Seeing Lin Xian’er leave eagerly, Tong Chengtai touched his burning face, silently murmuring to himself: Maybe, had he really made a mistake before…
Tong Chengtai, who had gradually beco blinded by power and wealth, suddenly began to examine his own heart.
Perhaps, as ti passed, his edges had gradually softened, and the self who had once dared to advocate justice, unafraid of power, had slowly been stifled by himself.
“How foolish, truly foolish…”
Tong Chengtai shook his head and bitterly laughed, “Yan Cangtian, oh Yan Cangtian, perhaps this lesson, for , is not really a bad thing…”
He was secretly curious about this young man nad Ling Feng.
It seed that this wasn’t the first ti he had heard this na.
“If possible, I really should et this youngster nad Ling Feng and see for myself what makes him extraordinary, even that old madman Yan Cangtian is willing to stand up for him…”
Tong Chengtai muttered to himself.
