South Maniac Mountain Peak.
Though it had been less than a year since he left, Jiang Chen was filled with emotion upon returning here once more.
During his ti at Changlin Academy, it truly felt like ho, but once he ventured out, he realized this world still adhered to the principle of might makes right, utterly and completely, and the sa goes for other academies!
Looking at the four cabins in front of him, Jiang Chen rembered past events, his lips curving slightly with a touch of reminiscence in his eyes.
Jin Ming and Jin Ang exchanged a glance. Without disturbing him, they sat at the stone table beneath the old locust tree.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Jin Ang’s expression changed slightly. He turned to glance at the old locust tree, a mysterious light appearing in his eyes.
At this mont, the old locust tree was sprouting a few new shoots, though it was still blackened in appearance. In Jin Ang’s eyes, however, the tree was filled with Thunderous Force, specifically pure Tribulation Lightning Force!
Jin Ming paused briefly, glanced at Jin Ang, then at Jiang Chen, and said softly, "Supre Third Elder, this belongs to Mr. Jiang."
"I know!"
Jin Ang rolled his eyes at Jin Ming, knowing that Jin Ming must have noticed as well. Although the old locust tree concealed the thunder, anyone with a saintly aura could detect it.
Yan Hu, too, was looking at the old locust tree, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Thunder Path Body... I wonder if Mr. Jiang would part with it?"
Jin Ang glanced at Yan Hu, then at Jiang Chen, a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
If Jiang Chen were unwilling, would it damage their brotherhood?
"What’s going on?"
A puzzled voice rang out, and Jiang Chen approached the stone table, looking at Yan Hu in confusion.
"Young Master, this tree gives a feeling... like I should consu it?"
Yan Hu said uncertainly.
"Consu it?"
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned. "Do you an to absorb it?"
"I think so, but... I haven’t detected anything."
Yan Hu nodded, the confusion still in his eyes.
Jiang Chen blinked and turned to Jin Ming and Jin Ang. "Can you two seniors identify anything?"
The two exchanged a look, and Jin Ang transmitted his voice, "Mr. Jiang, this tree contains Tribulation Lightning Force, very pure. If soone on the Thunder Path absorbs and refines it, it could support them to the Integration Realm Peak, possibly even to sainthood. The purity of the Tribulation Lightning Force within it is nearly on par with the Thunder Domain in the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
Jiang Chen’s eyes imdiately brightened, and he quickly turned to Yan Hu. "Hu Zi, go train on the tree, cultivate with all your might!"
"Yes!"
Yan Hu responded, his figure flashed as he leaped onto the tree stump, sat down cross-legged, and began to channel his spiritual power.
The old locust tree, once struck by lightning, had over the years been reduced to a trunk only half a ter tall. Now, as Yan Hu cultivated, a subtle Thunderous Force began to emanate from within.
"Thunderous Force?"
A startled shout rang out, and several figures approached from the mountain path—it was Jian Cangqiong and others.
"Esteed teachers, two seniors."
Jiang Chen cupped his hands in respect to Jian Cangqiong and others.
Jian Cangqiong and the others returned the gesture to Jin Ang and Jin Ming, then glanced at Yan Hu.
"Jiang Chen, you can dispose of this old locust tree as you see fit."
Jian Cangqiong said straightforwardly.
Changlin Academy lacks practitioners on the Thunder Path. Since Jiang Chen’s friend can utilize this old locust tree for cultivation, they might as well give it to him, especially since Jiang Chen himself has comprehended the Thunder Path.
"Thank you, teacher."
Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude, then softly said to Yan Hu, "Hu Zi, co down."
Whoosh!
Upon hearing this, Yan Hu leapt to Jiang Chen’s side.
"You should stay here from now on. I’m going to participate in the grand competition and enter the Extraterritorial Battlefield. You can’t go in with , so stay here and make use of the old locust tree to train!"
Jiang Chen gently advised.
Hearing this, Yan Hu hesitated briefly, a flash of reluctance in his eyes, but he nodded in agreent.
He wanted to stay by Jiang Chen’s side, but he understood that, at present, his ability to help Jiang Chen was limited. Since he didn’t et the qualifications to enter the Extraterritorial Battlefield, it would be better to stay here. From just that brief mont of cultivation earlier, he clearly felt the benefits of training here, which would allow him to enhance his power faster!
"Don’t just focus on advancing your realm, make sure to build a solid foundation, understood?"
Jiang Chen understood Yan Hu’s thoughts and spoke sternly.
"Yes!"
Ceasing to concern himself with Yan Hu, Jiang Chen turned to Jian Cangqiong. "Principal, may Hu Zi train here?"
"Certainly, your friend now holds more sway than , the principal! If I disagreed, the academy mbers would have my head!"
Jian Cangqiong joked.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, warmth filling his heart.
He glanced at Sun Yao and the other five and waved his hand.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A vast expanse of five-colored glows appeared, with nearly a million five-colored pearls appearing in the air.
"These are..."
The crowd showed astonishnt, as each pearl in the air contained the abundant Power of the Great Dao.
"These are Necro Spheres from the Abandoned Plains, and since the academy mbers practice these five Dao attributes, I’ll leave it to the five deans to distribute them."
Jiang Chen softly explained.
"Necro Spheres? These are the Necro Spheres purer than those from Source Pearls?!"
Sun Yao exclaid in shock.
"Yes, but these Necro Spheres are divided by strength level. The ones here are below the Unity Realm Stage, the five deans should be able to discern them."
Jiang Chen nodded and explained further.
"This... Jiang Chen, we can’t accept these!"
Jian Cangqiong’s expression turned serious, and he spoke solemnly, "Your extraordinary talent needs more Power of the Great Dao. These Necro Spheres..."
"Principal, as you said, I am extraordinarily talented—these things aren’t very useful to . Besides, I’m a student of the academy, is exchanging goods for points possible? I’ll trade these for so ten to eight million points, that’s all I ask!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"You..."
Jian Wuheng and the others had looks of gratitude and helplessness in their eyes.
They understood that the point exchange Jiang Chen ntioned was rely a way to ensure they wouldn’t feel too burdened with accepting his offer. After all, Jiang Chen wasn’t training at the academy anymore, what use did he have for points?
"Oh, let use those five pseudo-dao treasures, this should compensate for that!"
Jiang Chen suddenly rembered and spoke gently.
"No need, the academy was attacked, and using pseudo-dao treasures for defense is permissible. Last ti, we failed to utilize them properly. We can turn to Changling Academy to restock them; they won’t refuse!"
Jian Cangqiong lightly waved his hand.
"Changling Academy..."
A complex look flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes. He then frowned and said, "Last ti, no one from Changling Academy ca to assist, and it seems like no one would co this ti either—what are they planning?"
