Chapter 2424: Chapter 2428: Powerful Killing Intent (Extra Chapter for ’Changing Mindset’)
"Are you heading back to the residence district?"
A soft, alluring voice sounded. This voice was filled with fragility and charm, making one want to hold onto it and pity its owner.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen turned his head, his gaze involuntarily stirred.
The woman was about twenty years old, with straight long hair casually flowing behind her. Her beautiful eyes seemed to flicker with lightning at any moment. Her delicate nose and cherry lips added a touch of innocence to her exquisite face. Her slender figure was alluring even under the loose long dress.
She wore a long dress, the hem swaying with the wind, revealing a pair of fair legs. She exuded a conflicting aura of allure and innocence, making her even more tempting.
"Is there something you need?"
Jiang Chen slightly frowned, glanced at Sun Tian, and turned his head towards Liu Mei. He could feel that Sun Tian’s hostility towards him was mostly because of this woman.
"It seems you really don’t know."
Liu Mei carefully observed Jiang Chen’s expression and let out a sigh of relief internally.
If Jiang Chen knew about this matter and remained here, she would have been disappointed. These past days, she had heard Su Qingluan frequently speak of Jiang Chen’s prowess.
"What is it?"
Jiang Chen sensed something was off and inquired again.
"Li Yunluo and Lin Guanghui have blocked the freshman area with people, and all five hundred freshmen from Changlin Academy’s district have been blocked in the residence area, not allowed to go out and train, for three days now!"
Liu Mei relayed softly.
Buzz!
Jiang Chen’s gaze suddenly turned cold, an overwhelming killing intent instantly filled the third floor of the Sutra Pavilion.
He wasn’t afraid of others causing him trouble, but he truly despised when it affected others!
"Such strong killing intent!"
"How many people has he killed?"
"Oh my, looks like there’s going to be some excitement in the freshman area!"
Everyone around focused their gaze, surprised at Jiang Chen. The killing intent chilled their hearts.
Sun Tian’s pupils shrank slightly, his brow furrowed, and looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of caution, no longer underestimating him like before.
Liu Mei was startled, looking at Jiang Chen in astonishment. The sudden burst of killing intent made her heart palpitate.
Seeing Jiang Chen’s killing intent erupt, Yan Hu’s eyes also turned cold.
"Thank you!"
Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude, his figure blurred into a stream of light, rushing towards the staircase.
Zzz!
A rumble of thunder sounded, Yan Hu turned into lightning, closely following Jiang Chen.
"Is that the Thunder Taoist Body!?"
"Is he the Yan Hu with that Taoist Body?"
"I heard this Yan Hu is Jiang Chen’s guardian!"
"Go, go, go, there’s a show to watch!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of interest, all rushing out of the Sutra Pavilion.
"Oh no!"
Wu Zhengfeng’s expression changed, urgently following them. Although he hadn’t known Jiang Chen for long, the fact that Jiang Chen used his privileges to exchange combat skills for Yan Hu showed his deep loyalty. Now with Li Yunluo and others presuming Jiang Chen blocked the freshman area; this was likely a taboo for him.
...
In the freshman area.
"It seems Jiang Chen really isn’t going to show up."
"Yes, it’s been three days, and today is almost over!"
"I thought well of Jiang Chen initially, causing such a commotion at the Trial Grounds to celebrate Elder Jiu’s return, but it turns out he’s someone afraid of trouble!"
"Sigh! Now Elder Jiu will be subject to criticism again! A disciple’s character is much more important than their ability!"
Voices of chatter rose around, as the onlookers all showed expressions of disappointment.
Although the matter did not concern them, Jiang Chen’s disturbance at the Trial Grounds was so great it spread all over the Inner Court.
Upon hearing Li Yunluo and others caused trouble for Jiang Chen by blocking the freshman area, they came immediately, wanting to see who this Jiang Chen causing such a stir really was. But they were greeted with a disappointing outcome. Even if knowing they were outmatched, showing up was better than hiding as this was the academy with no life-threatening danger!
"Haha, what rubbish first freshman, just a cowardly rat!"
Li Yunluo shouted loudly: "Tell Jiang Chen when he returns to prepare ten thousand points every month, those are not for someone like him to take from the Talent List!"
Yun Tao and others were bitter but had no power to refute.
At this time, Yun Tao, Lei Kai, and several others were all injured, due to Li Yunluo’s increasingly harsh words that angered them into a fight. But only one person from Li Yunluo’s side needed to step out to knock them all down!
And Li Yunluo was still shouting for a duel, Yun Tao confronted him but ended up severely injured.
"Fine! From today, Li Yunluo, prepare ten thousand points for me monthly, or I’ll beat you whenever I see you!"
An icy shout rang out as two figures shot rapidly from a distance!
"Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen has returned!"
"Yan Hu is back too!"
"Looks like they just found out what happened here!"
"We misjudged Jiang Chen!"
Watching the approaching figures, the new students started shouting out. Those who thought Jiang Chen was hiding felt a surge of guilt.
They didn’t blame Jiang Chen for bringing a powerful enemy, but they couldn’t accept that after causing trouble, Jiang Chen hid and left them to bear the consequences.
After all, Jiang Chen was the first freshman and had considerable prestige among them. That journey to the Divine Infant Realm Peak Area had shaken them significantly!
"Haha! Didn’t expect you to actually show up! You want me to prepare points, do you have the qualifications?"
Li Yunluo’s expression darkened, coldly staring at the thin figure landing next to Yun Tao and others, mocking him: "Since you’re back, hand over the points in your identity card as interest for taking my senior’s Talent List position, and remember to obediently send the ten thousand points reward from the Talent List every month. Otherwise, you’ll suffer physical pain."
Jiang Chen ignored Li Yunluo, turned his head to look at Yun Tao and the others, and seeing the blood on Yun Tao’s mouth and the injuries of Lei Kai and others, a cold, terrifying killing intent surged to the sky.
"Such strong killing intent!"
Everyone around was startled, looking at Jiang Chen in astonishment.
Lin Guanghui, standing behind Li Yunluo, sharply narrowed his eyes, a mocking look appeared: "The killing intent is strong, looks like you’ve seen some scenes, but with no strength and only killing intent, you’ll still only be humiliated!"
"Are you alright?"
Jiang Chen took out a bottle of elixir, handing it to Yun Tao: "Share this with everyone."
"Junior Brother, staying alive is more important than fighting fire with fire, don’t be reckless!"
Yun Tao accepted the elixir, gripping Jiang Chen’s wrist. The killing intent emanating from Jiang Chen made him anxious.
"Yes, Jiang Chen, they are much higher in realm than us, don’t fight them head-on!"
Lei Kai and the others also began to advise him.
