Chapter 2971: Chapter 2974: The Challenge Begins

Certainly! Here’s the translation of the given text:

Changling Academy.

"Have you heard? That legendary Void Nether Academy has emerged!"

"Void Nether Academy appeared? Is it true?"

"Of course, it’s true! Haven’t you seen that the deans of the other Five Great Academies have come in person?"

"Yes! They haven’t just come, they even brought their academy’s best students. It seems Void Nether Academy is truly coming to challenge!"

The entire academy was in a frenzy, everyone was discussing the upcoming challenge.

Academy Alliance, one of the four superpowers on the Canglan Continent.

The challenge to the superpowers by Void Nether Academy begins with the Academy Alliance.

Grand Martial Arts Arena of Changling Academy.

The center of the arena featured a massive platform, shrouded by a magnificent grand formation.

Surrounding the platform were students from the Six Great Academies. Today, Changling Academy opened the arena to the other Five Great Academies, allowing people from various academies to witness the upcoming battles.

To the north of the platform stood a high platform, upon which were dozens of figures. In front were six elders exuding authority without anger, the chancellors of the Six Great Academies of the Academy Alliance, with elders above Saint Monarch Realm from the Six Great Academies standing behind them.

Below the high platform stood twenty-four figures, students chosen by the Six Great Academies to accept the challenge, twelve at the Saint Realm, twelve at the Integration Realm Peak, all under fifty years of age.

"Why aren’t they here yet!"

"Yeah, the chancellors have been here for long. The people from Void Nether Academy really have a big ego!"

"Well, they’re the number one academy in the Domain. Just don’t know if their students are worthy of the name!"

"I heard that those coming aren’t official students, but some who wish to enter Void Nether Academy. As long as Senior Zhuo and the others defeat those people, they can replace them and enter Void Nether Academy."

There were continuous noises around the platform, with students from the Six Great Academies looking around the sky, awaiting the arrival of Void Nether Academy’s representatives.

"Here they come!"

Suddenly, Taiyuan Chancellor, who had been silent on the high platform, abruptly looked towards the eastern sky.

All the elders turned their heads to look.

Swish swish swish!

There was the sound of something piercing the air, and twelve rapidly enlarging black dots appeared in the eastern sky.

"Here they are!"

"They’ve arrived!"

Shouts rang out in the arena, and everyone raised their heads to look towards the east.

"Hey! Isn’t that Tang Jie from the Tang Royal Mansion?"

"That’s Yue Muchen, son of Lord Yue!"

"Oh wow, the little princess is also here?"

"Is that... Jiang Chen!?"

"It’s Jiang Chen! The self-banished Jiang Chen is also here! Is he joining Void Nether Academy too?!"

As those twelve figures approached, everyone clearly saw the faces of the newcomers, causing an immediate outcry.

Swish swish swish!

Twelve figures flew to the arena, landing simultaneously on the high platform.

"Void Nether Academy, Qiu Wenqing."

"Leng Qingtian!"

Leading the group, Qiu Wenqing and Leng Qingtian introduced themselves, cupping their hands towards Taiyuan and the others.

"Changling Academy, Taiyuan!"

"Canghai Academy, Zhu Qian!"

"Cangming Academy, Fu Zhujiang!"

"Cang..."

The chancellors of the Six Great Academies returned the gesture of respect, introducing themselves.

"Ruo Yun pays respects to Senior Qiu, Senior Leng!"

Su Ruoyun stepped forward from among the elders and came to Qiu Wenqing and Leng Qingtian, offering a salute.

"Haha, Ruo Yun, girl, you’ve broken through to the Saint Monarch Realm? Congratulations!"

Qiu Wenqing laughed aloud.

Su Ruoyun smiled faintly and turned her gaze to the ten people behind Qiu Wenqing and Leng Qingtian, her eyes lingering on Jiang Chen.

"These ten are the students who came to challenge this time!"

Qiu Wenqing gestured towards Jiang Chen and the others.

"Greetings, seniors!"

The ten saluted by cupping their hands.

"Greetings, Elder Su!"

After paying respect to the six chancellors, Jiang Chen gave a separate salute to Su Ruoyun.

"I didn’t expect you would go to Void Nether Academy."

Su Ruoyun looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression: "It’s a good choice, but it’s not easy to earn a formal student qualification."

"I will try my best."

Jiang Chen replied softly.

"Jiang Chen, do you still bear a grudge against me for what happened back then?"

Taiyuan Chancellor also looked at Jiang Chen with a complex expression.

"I wouldn’t dare! What happened is in the past!"

Jiang Chen cupped his hands towards Taiyuan, his expression unusually calm.

The chancellors and elders of the Six Great Academies looked at Jiang Chen with some peculiarity. Jiang Chen had banished himself from Changling Academy years ago, causing quite a stir in the Academy Alliance.

However, it’s been years since the incident, and no one had the mind to delve into it now. Seeing Jiang Chen standing in the Void Nether Academy’s lineup, they were somewhat eager to see how far this once indignant student of Changling Academy had progressed now!

"Taiyuan Chancellor, let’s begin!"

Qiu Wenqing proposed softly.

Although he wasn’t clear on the past events between Jiang Chen and Changling Academy, it seemed they weren’t pleasant, so he deliberately changed the topic.

"Alright!"

Taiyuan nodded gently, taking one last look at Jiang Chen with a hint of regret or perhaps something else in his eyes.

"You all, head to the platform!"

Qiu Wenqing turned to look at Jiang Chen and the others.

"Yes!"

Swish swish swish!

Jiang Chen and the ten responded and quickly leaped onto the massive platform ahead.

"Go ahead."

Taiyuan nodded towards Su Ruoyun nearby.

Su Ruoyun nodded in response, and quickly flashed to the sky above the platform.

"Students."

Floating in the air, Su Ruoyun looked at the twenty-four elite students on the northern side of the platform: "These ten are the Void Nether Academy’s prospective students here to challenge. You can freely challenge any one of them in the same realm, and by defeating them, you can replace their place and become a prospective student of the Void Nether Academy, bringing glory to our Academy Alliance!"

"If anyone wishes to challenge a student who just underwent a battle, they need to wait for a quarter of an hour."

"In this battle, students don’t need to hold back; I will act as the referee for this challenge, intervening to stop the battle when your lives are at risk!"

"There are no rules for this battle; no matter what method you use, defeat or knock the opponent off the platform, or if someone concedes, the battle ends!"

"Does anyone have any questions?"

After explaining the rules, Su Ruoyun glanced at the students of the Six Great Academies and Jiang Chen and the others on the platform.

"No!"

Everyone responded unanimously.

Jiang Chen glanced at the twenty-four elite students of the Six Great Academies, his eyes showing a hint of a smile as he nodded towards two of them.

Among the crowd of the Six Great Academies stood Zhuo Bufan and Su Qingluan.

"Alright, now the challenge begins. Unity Realm students will start the battle first!"

Su Ruoyun called out softly.

Swish swish swish!

As Su Ruoyun finished speaking, Jiang Chen and five other Saints leaped off the platform, standing beside the elite students of the Six Great Academies.
