Chapter 1376: Chapter 1307: Immortal Fall Academy
"Reincarnation Divine Eyes? I’ve heard about it too. It seems that some time ago, a well-known Sword Cultivator from the Emperor Realm Third and Fourth Layers had a conflict with Helian Su over a treasure. In the end, Helian Su defeated him in just a few moves, with the Reincarnation Divine Eyes playing a significant role."
"Speaking of which, Helian Su is a True Disciple of Sky Pool Academy, right? I wonder if we will have a chance to see her at this exchange competition?"
"If Helian Su attends, it might be troublesome for Immortal Fall Academy."
"Hehe... Not only is Helian Su coming, but I have heard a rumor that Thunder Demon Feng Qianli, the top-ranking True Disciple of Sky Pool Academy, will also be here."
"Seriously? Is Sky Pool Academy really going all out this time? That promises to be a good show."
.........
Soon,
the stone gate of Immortal Fall Academy opened with creaks.
Suddenly, the vast crowd gathered around Immortal Fall Lake quieted almost entirely, turning their heads to look.
The first to catch the eye was naturally the dean of Immortal Fall Academy, the elusive and mysterious Yuan Zhen.
Yuan Zhen, in fact, is not exceptionally famous in the Great Thousand World for a simple reason: he rarely acts and seldom appears.
Yet, among the elder generation, mentioning Yuan Zhen always evokes great respect.
Yuan Zhen once suppressed an entire era of evil single-handedly at the end of the Ancient Era, an unparalleled feat.
What realm and power Yuan Zhen truly holds are unknown to most, but if the Great Thousand World lacked the oppressive World Will and objective constraints, Yuan Zhen might not reach emperorhood, but would undoubtedly be a Half-step Emperor.
Behind Yuan Zhen stood the renowned eight elders of Immortal Fall Academy, all possessing immortal bones and at least 3000 years of age. Their Martial Arts Realm is similarly obscure to ordinary people.
These eight elders are not the entirety of Immortal Fall Academy; it is said there are as many as twenty-one elders.
The depth of their foundation is truly intimidating.
Behind them were the stewards, a total of 49 in attendance, divided into internal and external affairs stewards. There are nine internal and forty external, with internal stewards being far superior in status and power, also known as Transmission Stewards, like Wu Qingcang among them.
However, Wu Qingcang’s expression was not particularly good. Days ago, he was reprimanded once more by the higher-ups, simply because of Qin Molin. Though Qin Molin had seemingly died after jumping off Wentian Cliff, ending the matter, a significant young person dear to Qin Molin’s heart appeared. A remarkably young man, he killed several students of Immortal Fall Academy, including Gu Mang, at Wuyin Mountain — an unprecedented event. Killing students of Immortal Fall Academy so brazenly was akin to slapping the face of this ancient and fearsome Half-step Transcendent Force. Though afterward, the young man seemingly committed suicide by jumping off Wentian Cliff for love, it also ended the matter, yet the trouble was all caused by Wu Qingcang. Naturally, he faced further criticism.
Behind the stewards were the students.
Students of Immortal Fall Academy.
There were only 10 students.
After all, it was an exchange competition, so only the best students were selected to represent them.
is quite a lot.
Every one of these students is an exceptional prodigy.
Each is a genius that has achieved various miracles and divine feats.
In ordinary times, these 10 students seldom appear.
Of course, all 10 are Direct Disciples, known as such because they are eligible to stay at the academy as stewards or even elders after graduation.
With all the high ranks and geniuses of Immortal Fall Academy appearing, silence filled with gasps:
"Nine of the top ten on the Monster List from Immortal Fall Academy’s Inner Court have shown up, only the first-step Cang Mang is absent."
"What a fearsome lineup; I remember last exchange competition, only six of the top ten of the Monster List appeared."
"It seems rumors of Sky Pool Academy sending Helian Su and Feng Qianli are not without basis."
"This exchange competition should be exceptionally spectacular."
"Wow, can you feel it? None of Immortal Fall Academy’s 10 students is below the Emperor Martial Realm!!!"
"Incredibly strong, especially Yuan Tianheng, second on the Monster List, when he glanced over, I nearly collapsed with shattered Divine Soul."
"Yuan Tianheng is indeed terrifying; it’s rumored that he comes from the Netherworld Palace, one of the three Transcendent Forces, but left due to certain suppression, becoming a student of Immortal Fall Academy instead."
"Yuan Tianheng is only 30,000 years old, yet he’s reached the Fifth Layer of Emperor Realm! Sky Pool Academy’s only match is probably Feng Qianli; others, including the newly ranked third on the Fairy List, Helian Su, are no match for Yuan Tianheng!"
"Bah, Yuan Tianheng is formidable, but don’t underestimate Helian Su; remember, Helian Goddess is only 3,000 years old, a tenth of Yuan Tianheng’s age. Compared at the same age, Yuan Tianheng still pales next to Helian Goddess."
.........
Next moment.
Under eager chatter and reverent, expectant gazes, Immortal Fall Academy’s leaders and students seemed to glide on clouds, settling calmly atop the battle platform at the center of Immortal Fall Lake.
The platform was large, divided into colors, one side red, one side blue.
As usual, Immortal Fall Academy occupied the red side.
Just then, "Hahaha... Brother Yuan, long time no see." A hearty, robust voice resonated through.
Soon after,
a cloud gently landed on the battle platform.
It was Sky Pool Academy’s leaders and students arriving.
Compared to Immortal Fall Academy being the host with more leaders present, the Sky Pool Academy side had fewer high-ranking attendees.
Only Sky Pool Academy’s dean Zhao Fengnian, Great Elder He Bucun, and several stewards were present.
Zhao Fengnian naturally...
Zhao Fengnian is bald, unremarkable-looking with coarse linen clothes, seemingly far less intimidating than Yuan Zhen from appearance.
Yet no one dared underestimate him.
In fact, Zhao Fengnian’s current fame in the Great Thousand World vastly eclipses Yuan Zhen’s.
Especially for Zhao Fengnian’s sword!!! Zhao Fengnian is also known as the "Sky Pool Sword God."
There’s a rumor that Zhao Fengnian’s Sword Intent has reached the Returning to Simplicity level, utterly terrifying.
The progression from micro level to Spiritual Movement is a hurdle.
From Spiritual Movement to Sublimation is another hurdle.
From Sublimation to Returning to Simplicity is an even greater hurdle.
In the entire Great Thousand World, those who can cultivate their realm to the Sublimation Realm level are rare.
Let alone Returning to Simplicity.
And it’s the Sword Intent, the most horrifying attack level in realms.
Moreover, Zhao Fengnian, despite his unremarkable appearance, in fact, among the deans of the Four Great Academies, is known for having the most ruthless killing intent. The other three deans, like Yuan Zhen, have mostly refrained from violence in this era.
Only Zhao Fengnian, even in recent years, has frequently dirtied his hands with blood. While Zhao Fengnian commands respect and fear, it’s undoubtedly the ten students from Sky Pool Academy who draw the most attention.
Especially among them, the stunningly beautiful, crane-like woman in a black silk dress—Helian Su.
Helian Su’s beauty is such that one glimpse creates an urge to protect.
With enchanting brows, Qiushui eyes.
Despite the serene expression, she exudes a captivating allure.
A delicate oval face perfectly matched delicate features.
Unforgettable, truly a breathtaking beauty, the third-ranked on the Fairy List, well-deserved.
