Chapter 2340: Chapter 2344: Jiang Chen Is Too Ruthless
"Welcome back, Elder Wine Sword Enthusiast!"
"Welcome back, Elder Wine Sword Enthusiast!"
Hundreds of students from the Main Court cheered, their gazes towards Hu Yiqiu full of admiration.
Since entering the academy, they had heard of Hu Yiqiu’s great name. His position at the top of the talent list had not been dethroned for over a hundred years. In one aspect, he was a symbol of the top genius of Changling Academy.
When they heard Ouyang Song mention that Hu Yiqiu’s Great Dao origin was injured, all the main court students felt regretful. They couldn’t imagine the pain of a genius suffering such a wound, unable to improve in strength for a hundred years.
However, when they heard that Hu Yiqiu overcame his ordeal, healed his wound, and directly broke through his realm, a sincere sense of admiration emerged from everyone’s hearts!
Hearing the deafening cheers, Hu Yiqiu’s eyes welled up with tears.
He always had a complex feeling towards the Changling Main Court, as he had glory and the carefree youth there, yet also deep wounds!
Those wounds made him leave the Main Court, and now, if not for Jiang Chen, and the desire to be Jiang Chen’s Protector, he wouldn’t have returned to that place of heartbreak.
Nonetheless, since he decided to go back, he would return with honor.
Now, Jiang Chen was his glory. Although his past achievements at the Main Court were unsurpassed, he firmly believed that Jiang Chen would absolutely become another light of Changling.
In fact, Jiang Chen would surpass him, Hu Yiqiu, of this he had no doubt at all!
Even though he never expected to receive such a welcome upon his return, given that with his current strength, he was at the bottom of the Main Court’s elder rankings; moreover, he still had some old rivals from his younger, wilder days there.
Yet, seeing the enthusiastic welcome from these main court students, he was immensely moved!
Seeing Hu Yiqiu’s excitement, Jiang Chen too felt a bit stirred. His master, who usually seemed indifferent to anything except his and his senior brother’s matters, also had a soft side deep in his heart.
With a quick turn of his eyes, Jiang Chen suddenly shouted, "Dear seniors, Jiang Chen, disciple of Hu Yiqiu from Changlin Academy, requests your examination!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen tossed twenty Space Rings into the air, and soon, a glow emanated from these Space Rings, releasing over a hundred Demon Cores from within!
"So many!?"
"Gosh, did he rob these?"
The surrounding students exclaimed, while students from Qing Hai Academy and other smaller alliance members turned gloomy.
"These were seized by Jiang Chen from those who bullied our Changlin Academy students over these three days, and these are what I personally acquired!"
Jiang Chen called out again, tossing his final examination ring into the air, releasing another hundred demon cores.
"What!?"
"Impossible!"
"Are these all late-stage level five demon cores? Over a hundred of them?"
"Wait, is that... the Demon Core of a Golden Armored Wind Leopard? Did he slay a Golden Armored Wind Leopard!?"
"How is this possible? How could he have killed so many late-stage level five demonic beasts?"
Amidst a roaring hubbub, even elders from various academies lost their composure, gazing at Jiang Chen in shock.
Hu Yiqiu was momentarily stunned, then turned to look at Jiang Chen, a gratified smile on his face.
He knew Jiang Chen was not one to flaunt, but his current actions were entirely for him, the master, to return to the Changling Main Court with more glory.
What is the proudest possession of a master? Besides one’s own realm, it’s having an outstanding disciple, and the demon cores Jiang Chen presented were a testament to his excellence and indirectly reflected Hu Yiqiu’s adept teaching.
"Hundred Forest Wolf demon cores, one Golden Armored Wind Leopard demon core, all obtained by Jiang Chen by himself, I can testify!"
Hearing the surrounding doubts, Lu Zhichen spoke loudly.
With this, all the doubt vanished, leaving everyone to stare at Jiang Chen in utter astonishment.
The hundred Inner Court students from the Main Court were awestruck, recalling tales of the Golden Armored Wind Leopard and Forest Wolves, which some among them had encountered during their trials in the Demonic Beast Forest. They understood just how troublesome that Golden Armored Wind Leopard could be and knew well the nature of the Forest Wolf’s pack.
Had this kid... wiped out a pack of Forest Wolves?
The hundred students stared at Jiang Chen, disbelief filling their eyes. Whether it was the Golden Armored Wind Leopard or the Forest Wolf pack, these were formidable demonic beasts even they found quite troublesome, yet a guy in the Mid Divine Infant Realm had taken care of them?
No matter whether it was by his own strength or other means, his deeds were enough to astonish everyone—means, after all, are part of one’s strength!
"Yun Tao, a disciple of Hu Yiqiu from Changlin Academy, requests your examination too, dear seniors!"
Yun Tao also shouted, sending twenty Space Rings flying into the sky, "These were seized by my junior brother from those bullying Changlin Academy students."
Whoosh!
Another Space Ring flew into the sky.
"This is mine!"
With two voices echoing, another hundred demon cores appeared in the air.
"Changling Academy’s Jian Cangqiong requests your examination, this is Jiang Chen’s... this is mine!"
"Changling Academy’s Sang Zhenglong..."
Except for Lei Kai and Fire Phoenix, the others threw their Space Rings into the sky, specifying that they were the ones Jiang Chen had seized from those oppressing the Changlin Academy.
Suddenly, near a thousand demon cores hovered above Jiang Chen and the others, creating a rather spectacular sight!
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that the Mid Divine Infant Realm Jiang Chen, the disciple Hu Yiqiu was so proud of, had single-handedly eliminated over a hundred examination students who allied against Changlin Academy students!
"How did he do that?!"
"Three days, only three days, and he single-handedly eliminated over a hundred students; Jiang Chen is too ruthless!"
"Better not mess with Jiang Chen! Don’t mess with Elder Wine Sword Enthusiast! Don’t mess with Changlin Academy!"
Everyone whispered in disbelief, their eyes filled with incredulity.
The eyes of the hundred Main Court students showed horror as they looked at the over a thousand demon cores, then at Jiang Chen, standing there with a calm expression, deeply shaken.
"Not surprising for the old wine lover’s disciple, certainly remarkable!"
Ouyang Song took a deep breath, exhaling slowly, his gaze towards Jiang Chen full of surprise and gratification.
He also understood that Jiang Chen’s actions were aimed at making a grand gesture for Hu Yiqiu’s return to the academy!
Let everyone see how outstanding Hu Yiqiu’s disciple was, even after leaving the Changling Main Court, he could still teach such an exceptional disciple!
