Chapter 2423: Chapter 2427: Who Refuses to Accept It
When the formation was activated, sensing its power, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Buzz!
A shiver ran through him as an immense aura erupted from Jiang Chen, and the five-colored divine light burst forth.
"Five Great Daos?"
"That guy comprehended five Great Daos!?"
"Such incredible talent!"
"Jiang Chen! I remember now, he’s Jiang Chen, the top newcomer!"
Exclamations of surprise arose, and the older students who had heard about the Trial Grounds recognized Jiang Chen.
"That’s Jiang Chen?"
"Unexpectedly, he also knows formations. It seems he didn’t use his full strength in the Trial Grounds!"
"But... what’s he doing here? Doesn’t he know that because of him, all the new students in the Changlin Academy area are blocked in the living quarters?"
"Is this guy afraid to return? The Sutra Pavilion is a safe place where no fighting is allowed, maybe he’s hiding here from trouble?"
After recognizing Jiang Chen, people whispered among themselves.
"Five Elements Devouring Emperor Array, activate!"
A low shout rang out, and everyone quickly focused their gaze.
After Jiang Chen erupted with the Great Dao Divine Light, his hands began to fly again, and hand seals were cast into the space before him. The Five Elements Great Path Divine Light merged into that small space along with the appearance of the hand seals.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
With Jiang Chen’s low shout, the space five meters in front of him lit up with dazzling five-colored divine light, soaring up into the sky and transforming into five light swords. Under Jiang Chen’s control, the five swords slowly merged, finally coalescing into a single five-colored light sword!
Thud thud thud!
The moment the five-colored light sword appeared, some Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm cultivators around retreated several steps, even those in the Mid-stage of Virtual Refinement Realm avoided its peak, only a few Late Virtual Refinement Realm students watched the solid-looking five-colored light sword with serious expressions.
"Such strong oppression!"
"This formation definitely has the power of the Mid-stage of Virtual Refinement Realm!"
"I’m afraid it’s not just that. Even from above, I can feel a sense of crisis!"
"This guy is only at the peak of the Divine Infant Realm, yet he can activate formations to this extent. Could he be another Elder Su?"
People looked at Jiang Chen with surprise, their eyes filled with shock.
A young man thought to himself that this was not good, hurriedly glancing at Liu Mei. At this moment, Liu Mei’s eyes gleamed, and a slightly astonished smile appeared on her face, as captivating as a blossoming peony in spring!
Bastard! Bastard!
The young man was momentarily stunned by Liu Mei’s smile, then a wave of fury surged in his heart because that smile was not meant for him.
Jiang Chen, right? Very well! A newcomer displaying himself in front of Liu Mei, do you actually think you’re worthy?
The young man glared fiercely at Jiang Chen, his eyes emitting a cold light.
Huh?
With a slight frown, Jiang Chen sensed the unfriendly gaze, glanced at the young man’s direction, but didn’t pay much attention, as obtaining the combat technique was the most important task now.
"Slash!"
Jiang Chen’s expression turned stern, and he shouted loudly.
Swish!
The five-colored light sword instantly erupted with brilliant light, ferociously slashing toward the protective barrier.
Boom!
A roar resounded as a tiny fracture appeared on the protective barrier.
"Once more!"
Jiang Chen bellowed lowly again.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The space in front of him trembled as waves of spirit stone powder sprayed out from the space, instantly covering the ground in a thick layer. The spiritual power from thousands of middle grade spirit stones was extracted by Jiang Chen through the formation, making a more dazzling five-colored light sword appear in the air.
"Slash!"
Swish!
The five-colored light sword fell in response to the call.
Rumble!
Crash!
A massive roar echoed, and a crisp sound reached everyone’s ears, causing them to involuntarily look toward the protective barrier.
"Broken, it’s broken?!"
"Did he really slash through that protective barrier?!"
"How is this possible? He’s just a mere Divine Infant Realm cultivator; how could he unleash such powerful attacks?!"
"This kid’s accomplishments in formations probably exceed his Great Dao Comprehension!"
The onlookers couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief as they looked at Jiang Chen.
Whoosh!
Letting out a long breath, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, his gaze directed toward the direction in front of him.
On the shelf there, a purple jade slip emitted bursts of thunderous aura, and the surrounding protective barrier had already vanished.
Stepping forward, Jiang Chen took the jade slip and probed inside with his divine sense.
Roaring Thunder Palm, Earth Rank intermediate combat skill, gathers Thunderous Force into the palm; with one strike, mountains and rivers shatter!
A simple introduction, yet it contained a terrifying implication. Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction, turning to look at Yan Hu, who had just arrived: "Hu Zi, catch."
Swoosh!
Jiang Chen casually tossed the jade slip toward Yan Hu, then stepped forward, with Wu Zhengfeng following behind with a dumbfounded expression.
"This... is he giving it away?"
"I can’t believe this guy used up thousands of middle grade spirit stones just to take out a jade slip and give it away?"
"That’s quite a heavy gift, isn’t it?"
"The key is he wasted his own chance to choose!"
Seeing Jiang Chen’s actions, the crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
"But it’s truly impressive; just with a cultivation at the peak of the Divine Infant Realm, he can set up such a powerful formation, truly formidable!"
Some people couldn’t help but praise.
"Hmph! What’s so impressive about that? This method might be useful here, but if he were really in a battle, who would give him the chance to set up a formation? With his current realm, he’d be slapped to death!"
A cold scoff rang out.
The crowd paused for a moment, then collectively looked toward that young man.
Jiang Chen was also slightly puzzled, casting a glance at the young man, frowning lightly, realizing it was him who showed hostility earlier.
The young man, seeing Jiang Chen looking over, lifted his head in arrogance and said disdainfully: "What? Not convinced? Why not try it at the Martial Arts Arena?"
"Sun Tian, you’re an old student at the Late Virtual Refinement Realm, and you’re challenging a newcomer at the Divine Infant Realm, aren’t you ashamed?"
"Exactly, have some decency! Challenging new students is not impressive; if you have the guts, go challenge Senior Zhuo!"
Several Late Virtual Refinement Realm students, unable to stand it, started to scold.
Sun Tian’s face changed, glancing darkly at those who spoke, before glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen.
"Boring."
Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, turning to Yan Hu: "How’s it going? Did you get that movement combat skill?"
Sun Tian’s expression turned grim, and his eyes flashed coldly, but he said no more. With so many people here, especially in front of Liu Mei, he couldn’t go too far, but he’d remember this grudge!
"Kid, I’ll make sure your life at the academy is vibrant and full of challenges!"
"Got it!"
Yan Hu smiled lightly and nodded.
"Let’s go, it’s been days since we went back. Let’s check on the seniors, and also fulfill the promises to Feng Qingyang and handle that Fire Phoenix matter."
Jiang Chen called out, beginning to walk toward the staircase.
