"Jiang Chen, I’ve already handed over my Identity Jade, what more do you want?"
A voice filled with terror echoed from within the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Everyone snapped out of their shock and turned to look.
Lin Guanghui handed over his Identity Jade, yet the Bloody Radiance continued to assault the azure Great Dao Wheel of Light, showing no sign of stopping.
"Senior Dong, do I need to prove myself further?"
Jiang Chen ignored Lin Guanghui and instead looked calmly at Dong Zhenhua.
"No! No, no, no! No need!"
Dong Zhenhua’s heart trembled, and he hurriedly waved his hand, a bitter feeling rising within him.
This remark by Jiang Chen would surely make Lin Guanghui harbor grudges about his Divine Ring being nearly destroyed. Dong Zhenhua understood this was Jiang Chen venting dissatisfaction, because they didn’t stop Lin Guanghui from bullying Yun Tao and others.
Though he understood it clearly, there was nothing he could do. What was originally thought to be just a minor dispute to temper the new students turned into a confrontation between the new and the old, and things really escalated.
Dong Zhenhua was certain many elders were watching from afar, and once back in the Discipline Hall, he couldn’t avoid severe reprimand.
Snap!
A snapping sound was heard, and the Bloody Radiance within the furnace vanished instantly.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, the Heaven and Earth Furnace transford into a flaming palm, slamming Lin Guanghui toward the dozen or so older students. At the sa ti, a beam of light flew toward Jian Wuheng.
"Guanghui!"
A dozen older students scrambled to catch Lin Guanghui, while Jian Wuheng caught the flying jade token.
"Now it’s your turn!"
Jiang Chen glanced at the dozen older students.
"Jiang Chen, what do you an by this?"
The dozen older students’ expressions changed, and they all looked at Jiang Chen warily.
Swish!
Jiang Chen’s figure vanished into thin air, reappearing instantly behind the dozen older students.
"Spatial Path!?"
"He... he even comprehended the Spatial Path!?"
"Six kinds of Great Dao already; is he even human?"
"What kind of demon is this!"
A series of exclamations rang out as everyone clutched their chests, feeling their hearts couldn’t take it!
Whosh, whosh, whosh!
Seeing Jiang Chen appear behind the group of older students, the new students followed closely, led by Yun Tao and others, surrounding the dozen older students completely.
"Jiang Chen, what are you trying to do? We haven’t even made a move!"
The dozen older students panicked, a look of fear in their eyes.
"Two choices: one, enter my furnace to be refined, or two, remove the restrictions on your Identity Jade and hand it over!"
Jiang Chen looked at the dozen people indifferently, expressionless: "Don’t tell you didn’t make a move; you know why you’re here."
Pausing, he chuckled coldly, continuing: "Since you want to oppress us new students, be prepared to pay the price. Today, I want you older students to know: we new students aren’t born to be oppressed by you. You want to oppress us? Even if our realm isn’t as high as yours, we will bite off a piece of your flesh and leave you with an everlasting impression!"
"Yes! We new students aren’t born to be oppressed by you!"
"Well said! If you dare bully us, you must pay the price!"
"Hand over the Identity Jade!"
"Hand it over!"
Two thousand new students shouted in unison, their montum like a fierce storm, blowing furiously at the dozen older students.
Faced with the excitent of the new students, the dozen older students turned pale, feeling the not-so-strong Great Dao aura overwhelming them.
Each of these auras was not much to fear individually, but when two thousand of them combined, it beca a formidable force.
In truth, if a fight broke out, the dozen mid-stage Void Refinent Realm cultivators wouldn’t truly fear two thousand cultivators of the Divine Infant Realm, as the gap between these realms was a vast chasm.
But would they dare? They didn’t!
With Lin Guanghui’s precedent, if they dared to act, several of them could be held back by Yan Hu and other cultivators at the peak of the Divine Infant Realm, risking severe injury. By then, if Jiang Chen got angry, those left behind would certainly et a miserable fate.
Moreover, if they thoroughly provoked these new students now, when they grew stronger in the future, there would be no escape. No one could guarantee they’d always be stronger than all these freshn!
Exchanging glances, the dozen older students shared a bitter smile, reluctantly throwing their Identity Jade tokens towards Jiang Chen, including Li Yunluo, who dared not cause any more trouble, knowing this all stemd from his previous actions.
Seeing the dozen or so Identity Jades flying towards him, Jiang Chen waved a hand, sending them all flying to Jian Wuheng.
"Wu Hen, transfer all their points into your Identity Jade."
Jiang Chen spoke lightly.
Jian Wuheng paused slightly, glancing around at the new students, realizing why Jiang Chen was asking him to clear out the points in the Identity Jades.
With a soft laugh, Jian Wuheng stretched out his hand to take the Identity Jades, transferring all the points into his own.
"Everyone."
Jiang Chen turned to the two thousand new students: "As new students entering the academy, facing oppression is common, but do we have to endure it? I don’t think so!"
"Although our realms are lower, our potential is greater. ’Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side, never underestimate a youth because of poverty!’ This saying implies that although weak in youth, nothing stops one from becoming strong in the future."
Switching his tone, Jiang Chen’s eyes flashed fiercely:
"But what I want to say is, if a youth doesn’t fight, are they truly a youth? Continuous tolerance will only bolster the arrogance of the older students. Today, I can make them bow and admit their mistakes; can’t you?"
"If one person can’t, then ten, twenty, a hundred, a thousand can. If we don’t want to be oppressed, let’s unite and make ourselves strong!"
"From today forward, I hope everyone, from any beginner academy, rembers this one identity we share: we are new students of Changling Academy. If anyone gets bullied, I hope everyone will lend a hand."
"Think about it: if you had united like this when these older students first ca, two thousand standing against them, with our montum pressing down, would they dare make a move against us even if they’re stronger?"
"Cultivators refine strength, body, and mind! If you compromise now, can your state of mind truly reach perfection? By resisting here, you won’t die, but you will temper your mindset."
"If everyone compromises here, what will you do when facing the countless challenges and obstacles on your path of cultivation outside, in the future?"
"If you keep compromising, then I must ask: what path are you cultivating? What heart are you practicing? Where is your Dao Heart?"
His powerful questioning left the field instantly silent.
