Chapter 2333: Chapter 2337: I Can Wait for Him to Become Strong
Hu Yiqiu glanced at Jin Shan, then turned to the group of eliminated students behind him: "Is there anyone among you who was eliminated by someone from Jinzhong Academy?"
"Elder Wine-crazed, I was eliminated by two students from Jinzhong Academy!"
"Me too!"
Two students from Changlin Academy responded loudly.
"I’m sorry, Elder Jin Shan, since you’ve taken action, you must bear the consequences!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Yiqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, responded indifferently, and then turned his gaze back to the Demonic Beast Forest, ignoring Jin Shan.
Jin Shan’s face darkened, and a sense of regret surged in his heart.
At this moment, he deeply regretted joining forces with Qing Hai Academy and Fengchen Academy against Changlin Academy.
However, it’s too late to regret now!
Now he can only hope that the more than fifty students gathered together can withstand the fierce approach of Jiang Chen!
All the elders fell silent, and some elders of other academies exchanged glances, spreading out their divine sense, locking onto a region—where the more than fifty students of the Small Alliance were gathered.
Where everyone’s divine sense was locked.
In a dense forest, more than fifty people were gathered together, each with an angry expression on their face.
"That bastard! Don’t let me encounter him, or I will definitely show him the strength of our Qing Hai Academy!"
A late Divine Infant Realm student said angrily.
"Humph! If you have the guts, stop boasting here; go out and find Jiang Chen?"
Another late Divine Infant Realm student mocked.
Among the more than fifty people gathered here, there were over ten students in the Late Divine Infant Realm, and the rest were in the Mid Divine Infant Realm.
Higher levels cannot attack lower levels, so those early Divine Infant Realm students of the Small Alliance did not gather with them.
"Alright, everyone, calm down. There’s less than two hours before the assessment ends. Let’s settle this account with Jiang Chen during the Academy Competition!"
A young man with a cold and severe expression spoke.
"Do you think he might come looking for us?"
"Hehe! If he dares to come, then we’ll just keep him here; he must have a lot of Demon Cores!"
"Exactly, it would be best if he foolishly runs over here; that way, we can divide the Demon Cores he has and eliminate him."
"Right, let’s do that. I really hope he comes looking for us!"
The crowd shouted one after another.
They didn’t dare face Jiang Chen alone, but with so many people here, they weren’t afraid at all, all looking around with cold gleams in their eyes, as if Jiang Chen had already appeared around them.
However, Jiang Chen was indeed already nearby, just a hundred meters away from them.
Concealed atop a giant tree, Jiang Chen watched the group of more than fifty people with a cold gaze.
"All gathered together? This might require some effort!"
Jiang Chen murmured softly to himself, showing no trace of fear.
It was just over fifty people of the same and slightly higher realm; he had dared to make a move when facing hundreds of cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm before, let alone these people.
Sneering at the sky, Jiang Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile; by the time he arrived here, he had already sensed more than a dozen faint auras appearing around.
And now, these auras had increased to nearly a hundred.
"Since you want to watch, then watch closely. Since you’ve already taken action against my Changlin Academy’s students, I hope you can bear the consequences!"
A consciousness filled with icy intent shot into the sky, directly reaching the hundreds of auras.
Swoosh!
With a flash of his figure, Jiang Chen vanished from his original spot.
"That kid really has the guts to directly provoke those academies’ elders?"
In the Central Region, Jin Peng said with a look of surprise.
"Although I haven’t interacted with him much, I’ve learned some things from An Na. He’s very kind to his friends, and even to his subordinates, he doesn’t have any airs. But..."
Medusa’s expression turned complicated: "Deep down, he has an arrogance that others cannot reach, and he’s very protective. Any friend or thing he guards will not be tolerated to be harmed by anyone. Now that those academies have joined forces against Changlin Academy and employed such despicable means, they’ve completely angered him!"
"I don’t know what method this kid plans to use to eliminate those people; although his combat power is quite high, there are more than fifty people there, and he might not be able to win alone!" Su Ruoyun watched the light screen with interest.
"Su girl, don’t you remember how he dealt with that Forest Wolf pack?"
Elder Shi chuckled softly.
Su Ruoyun was slightly taken aback and focused her gaze. At this moment, on the light screen, Jiang Chen had appeared twenty meters away from the gathering point of those more than fifty people and had already taken out a Spirit Stone.
"This kid has gotten within twenty meters of those people, and they haven’t noticed a thing?"
Jin Peng blinked, showing a trace of disdain in his eyes: "Those people really are useless!"
"Can’t you see the Dao Rhythm on Jiang Chen’s body? Using the Dao Rhythm to conceal his aura, unless a human cultivator has a Great Dao Comprehension stronger than his, it’s impossible to detect his movements."
Su Ruoyun glanced at Jin Peng, clearly disinterested in chatting with this brute who only knows fighting and never uses his brains.
However, by calling those participating in his academy’s assessment useless, wasn’t that implying that the academy selected its students from among the useless? This definitely warranted a counter.
"You two stop arguing, the result will soon be revealed!"
Shi Yan spoke softly, watching the constantly shifting figure on the light screen with anticipation.
"Shi Yan, I’m sensing something off about you?"
Jin Peng raised an eyebrow, looking at Shi Yan.
"That kid... maybe he can help me return to my tribe, though at the moment, he might not be able to!"
Shi Yan hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly.
Three days earlier, when Su Ruoyun appeared in front of Jiang Chen and the others, Shi Yan had sensed a bloodline pressure; when Jiang Chen’s Blood Fiend Aura was suppressed, that pressure became more evident and vast.
This filled Shi Yan with deep anticipation for Jiang Chen.
"What?"
"What do you mean by that?!"
Elder Shi and the others were taken aback; they knew what had happened to Shi Yan, and returning to that tribe was quite difficult.
"I’m not sure right now, but once he grows strong enough to fully control the Blood Fiend Force he emitted that day, maybe I can confirm it!"
Shi Yan shook his head slightly, speaking with uncertainty, though the anticipation in his eyes showed no signs of diminishing.
It’s been hundreds of years since he left the tribe. No one could imagine how much he wanted to return. Although he was just a low-level existence in that tribe, he still wanted to go back because that was his home!
Elder Shi and the others exchanged glances, then collectively turned to Su Ruoyun.
Su Ruoyun was slightly stunned but quickly understood, speaking softly: "With his talent and his relationship with that old drunkard, he will certainly receive significant training once in the academy, so there’s no need to worry about that."
Elder Shi and the others nodded, turning to Shi Yan, their eyes filled with envy.
Among the four of them, except for Medusa, the remaining three had been expelled from their tribes.
Like Shi Yan, they constantly wished to return to their tribes, but the hope of doing so was rather slim.
Now that Shi Yan might have a chance to go back, they all felt happy for him.
