Sizzle!
Boom!
At the summit of the Southern Maniac Mountain, streaks of lightning burst forth, and waves of Thunderous Force spread out.
The students of Changlin Academy were already used to it.
For half a month, the Southern Maniac Mountain seed to be bombarded by thunder. The only difference was that the Thunder Descent typically cos from the sky, whereas here, it was directly exploding at the mountain summit.
Initially, so students, instructors, and elders of the academy who wished to cultivate in seclusion were slightly displeased. In Changlin Academy, the only one cultivating the Thunder Path was Tong He.
The brothers Tong He and Tong Hai were resented by the academy for having once chased after Jiang Chen, despite it being clarified as a misunderstanding. Even though they had beco elders, with one being among the four Great Elders, so people in the academy were still not fond of them.
The only reason being Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen’s influence in Changlin Academy had reached an unprecedented level. Previously, Jian Cangqiong would jokingly remark that Jiang Chen’s words held more sway than his in the academy. But it wasn’t a joke; in so aspects, Jiang Chen’s words indeed carried more weight.
And now, Jiang Chen once again tily rescued the academy, once again bringing benefits for everyone. All mbers of the academy, including this year’s freshn, felt extre gratitude towards Jiang Chen, filled with reverence!
So elders approached the Southern Maniac Mountain wanting to talk to Tong He, but upon discovering it wasn’t Tong He causing the disturbance but rather Jiang Chen and his brothers, everyone quickly backed off.
No one in the academy complained anymore about the thunder from the Southern Maniac Mountain affecting cultivation or being noisy. So students had even automatically set up a periter at the foot of the mountain.
When soone unaware asked, the answer was that Senior Jiang was cultivating.
Instantly, more students guarded the foot of the Southern Maniac Mountain!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures leapt from the central position of the academy towards the Southern Maniac Mountain.
"Cangqiong, there’s no need for you to escort . You’d better hurry to Jingge Tower. This ti, the main court has indeed gone all out, even splitting so of the original Daobao. This only happens the first ti, you know. Going for cultivation will be beneficial for you. I’ll go up and see that young lad by myself. Are you worried I’ll harm him?"
Ouyang Song teased as he spoke.
This ti, Ouyang Song ca because of a report from Changlin Academy to procure new pseudo-Daobao for the academy.
Hu Yiqiu and Yun Tao, after returning from the Abandoned Plains, had all gone into seclusion. Jian Wuheng and others also received the Necro Spheres Jiang Chen sent via Yun Tao, so they all went into seclusion as well, leaving only him to co.
Jian Cangqiong smiled slightly, "Elder Ouyang, it’s not that I’m worried you’ll harm him, but without soone to guide you, you can’t go up!"
"Can’t go up? What do you an?"
Ouyang Song was taken aback for a mont as he glanced at the summit of the Southern Maniac Mountain, "Is there a Formation set up above?"
"There is a Formation, but that’s not the main point. Look over there."
Jian Cangqiong raised his hand, pointing ahead.
The two were already approaching the foot of the Southern Maniac Mountain as Ouyang Song turned his head and took a glance, suddenly freezing in place.
"What’s going on? Is that young lad even closing off the mountain for cultivation?"
Ouyang Song’s face was full of confusion and incomprehension.
At this ti, a group of students sitting in Panxi were cultivating at the foot of the Southern Maniac Mountain, with teams patrolling. Just as the two arrived, two teams were exchanging patrol duties.
"It’s not a mountain closure, it’s that the students have voluntarily co to guard, and Jiang Chen himself doesn’t even know about it."
As Jian Cangqiong landed with the two, he explained with a chuckle.
"Voluntarily organized?"
Ouyang Song was still a bit confused, full of astonishnt.
"Indeed, when the students learned that the commotion at the summit was due to Jiang Chen and his brothers’ cultivation, they spontaneously ca here to guard, intercepting so unaware who wanted to go up the Southern Maniac Mountain to cultivate - core students and even elders."
Jian Cangqiong smiled slightly, "The last ti Jiang Chen was cultivating at the academy, causing a great commotion, the students did the sa. Once they realize there’s no significant activity on the summit, these students will quietly leave."
"Quietly leave?"
Ouyang Song continued walking, still in a daze.
"Yes, I have tried to advise them, telling them it wasn’t necessary to do so, as Jiang Chen wouldn’t be disturbed during cultivation, but the students won’t listen. They said..."
Jian Cangqiong paused slightly, gently sighing, "They said they owed too much to Jiang Chen. During the academy’s great calamity, Jiang Chen turned the tide, saving the lives of all faculty and students. All the resources he gained in Mingqian Realm were given to the academy. This ti again, he saved the academy. They are endlessly grateful.
They feel they can never repay Jiang Chen and thus wish to protect him for once. They know it’s unnecessary, but they enjoy the feeling of doing sothing for Jiang Chen!"
"Enjoy the feeling of doing sothing for Jiang Chen? Because of gratitude?" Ouyang Song now sowhat understood.
"Greetings to the Principal! Greetings to Elder Ouyang!"
At this mont, a shout rang out as the two had arrived at the foot of the mountain, and soone recognized Ouyang Song.
"Principal, Elder Ouyang, are you here to find Junior Jiang?"
A youth, who had already broken through to the Virtual Refinent Realm and beca an academy instructor, looked at Ouyang Song, with a trace of vigilance in his eyes, softly inquiring.
"Don’t worry, if he’s cultivating, we won’t disturb him!"
Jian Cangqiong helplessly explained.
The youth nodded, waved his hand, and the students guarding the mountain path made way.
"Is Jiang Chen held in such high respect at your academy?"
As Ouyang Song walked, he playfully asked, "Do they know about Jiang Chen? Do they know that Jiang Chen suffered unfair treatnt at Changling Main Court and self-exiled from the academy? Would they still want to go to the main court?"
"Ah, Elder Ouyang..."
Jian Cangqiong hadn’t expected Ouyang Song to bring this up and was too late to stop him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, the two were surrounded by dozens of students.
"Elder Ouyang, what did you just say? Junior Jiang suffered unfair treatnt at Changling Main Court and self-exiled from the academy?"
The youth who had just inquired looked sternly at Ouyang Song.
"This..."
Ouyang Song froze for a mont, looking towards Jian Cangqiong, "They don’t know?"
"They didn’t know; your words are precisely the issue we were worried about, so..."
Jian Cangqiong looked helplessly at Ouyang Song and then turned to the student, "Zhang Qian, so matters are not easy to explain. You have awakened the Fire Path Bloodline; going to Changling Academy will be more beneficial for you."
"This young lad is the one who awakened the Bloodline Power and successfully broke through to the Virtual Refinent Realm?"
Ouyang Song gave Jian Cangqiong a glance and then turned to Zhang Qian, "Zhang Qian, when I leave in a few days, you can co with . You’ve been admitted directly to the main court."
This student was indeed Zhang Qian, who, after being eliminated in the main court assessnt, went back to seclusion, reactivated his Bloodline Power, and broke through to the Virtual Refinent Realm.
