Chapter 2972 - 2975: Sudden Targeting

Chapter 2972: Chapter 2975: Sudden Targeting

Boom!

A rumbling sound echoed across the massive arena, spanning a thousand meters.

A figure flew backward off the stage.

"So strong!"

"Indeed, even Elder Su was defeated!"

"No wonder he’s a reserve student of Void Nether Academy! Twelve fights and twelve wins, truly impressive!"

Exclamations of amazement arose, as people from the Six Great Academies around the arena looked in surprise at the figure onstage.

This was the final battle of the Unity Realm Stage — Su Qingluan was defeated by one move while facing a cultivator from the Origin Continent’s Unity Realm.

Whoosh!

A figure soared up and caught Su Qingluan, landing in the northern part of the arena.

Taking out a God Nourishing Elixir, Jiang Chen fed the elixir to Su Qingluan.

At this moment, Su Qingluan’s face was extremely pale, her breath weak and her body faintly emanating Primordial Spirit Aura, clearly showing that her Primordial Spirit had sustained some injury.

"Elder Su, it’s time to break through!"

Feeding her the elixir, Jiang Chen supported Su Qingluan to sit down and gently spoke.

"If not for this challenge, I would have broken through long ago!"

Su Qingluan replied, giving a gentle smile without expressing thanks.

She and Jiang Chen no longer needed to be overly polite.

With her eyes slightly closed, Su Qingluan began to regulate her breathing right beside Jiang Chen.

Whoosh!

A figure landed nearby; the student who defeated Su Qingluan glanced at Su Qingluan, then at Jiang Chen, and nervously said, "Senior Jiang, I didn’t know she was..."

"It’s okay."

Before the person could finish, Jiang Chen gently waved his hand and said, "Cultivators have no fear of injury, as long as it’s not deliberate humiliation!"

"The Unity Realm Stage challenge is over; the Academy Alliance... was completely defeated!"

Su Ruoyun announced loudly, looking somewhat displeased at the twelve Saint Realm students from the Six Great Academies: "This challenge involved only reserve students from Void Nether Academy. Let’s hope everyone gives their all and doesn’t shame our Academy Alliance!"

"Yes!"

"Elder Su, don’t worry, we won’t!"

"We will win!"

The students shouted loudly.

"Alright! Next, the Saint Realm challenge begins!"

Su Ruoyun responded loudly, announcing.

Whoosh!

"Jiang Chen, get up here!"

As soon as Su Ruoyun finished speaking, a figure rushed onto the stage, shouting loudly.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, turning to look at Jiang Chen.

"Brother Jiang, is that your enemy?"

Ren Cangsheng asked, puzzled.

Jiang Chen’s actions during his comprehension of the Bodily Path had brought them closer.

"I don’t recognize him!"

Jiang Chen replied in confusion and leaped onto the stage.

"Does Lu Qingxiang have a grudge against Jiang Chen?"

On the high platform, Taiyuan Chancellor was dumbfounded, asking a Saint Monarch Elder behind him, the master of the one challenging Jiang Chen.

"He’s never mentioned it!"

The Saint Monarch Elder responded, puzzled.

To the south of the arena, Changling Academy students looked complexly at the two on stage, worry visible in the eyes of some Void Refinement Realm and Unity Realm Stage students.

"Why is Senior Lu challenging Senior Jiang?"

"They don’t have a grudge, do they?"

"Why is he fighting one of his own kind?"

"What’s Senior Lu up to?"

These students were part of Jiang Chen’s cohort; even though Jiang Chen had left for years, they remained impressed, especially after hearing about his actions on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, proud to have once resisted older students with him.

Now seeing their Saint senior challenge Jiang Chen, they felt somewhat displeased!

To the north of the arena, Zhuo Bufan also had a somber expression, muttering, "This bastard! I’m afraid he’s up to something amusing again!"

"Brother Zhuo, who is he?"

Tang Jie approached Zhuo Bufan and softly asked.

"That’s Meng Vice-Chancellor’s disciple. He went through a lot to be accepted as Meng’s disciple; just after becoming his disciple, Meng was sent to the Extraterritorial Battlefield because of Jiang Chen’s matter and died during the battle."

Zhuo Bufan explained softly, "He’s always resented Jiang Chen, believing Jiang ruined his future. This time, he probably wants to embarrass Jiang Chen. He’s just fifty now, and ten years ago, Meng helped him reach the Saint Realm. Jiang Chen might not be his match."

"Brother Zhuo, you went to the Extraterritorial Battlefield with Jiang Chen, and yet you have so little faith in him?"

Tang Jie scoffed at Lu Qingxiang on stage, disdainfully saying, "Want to embarrass Jiang Chen? I think he’ll shoot himself in the foot; watch, challenging Jiang Chen, he’ll regret it!"

Zhuo Bufan was slightly taken aback, looking surprised at Tang Jie.

This guy has such faith in Jiang Chen?

The Unity Realm stage is very different from the Saint Realm!

On the stage.

"Jiang Chen, you expelled yourself from Changling Academy, yet now return to challenge. Are you deliberately trying to oppress Changling Academy?"

Seeing Jiang Chen on stage, Lu Qingxiang spoke righteously, "Don’t think you can be arrogant just because of some achievements on the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Changling Academy is not to be insulted as you please!"

Jiang Chen’s expression changed slightly, looking at Lu Qingxiang full of curiosity.

"This..."

The crowd was also taken aback by Lu Qingxiang’s shout.

"When did I insult Changling Academy?"

Jiang Chen asked, somewhat baffled.

"You say you didn’t? You expelled yourself from Changling Academy, now running to Void Nether Academy—just to make your way there, you’ve come back to challenge Changling Academy. Isn’t that belittling our Changling Academy?"

Lu Qingxiang shouted angrily.

Some students furrowed their brows slightly; uninformed students thought over the reasoning, which somewhat made sense!

"My challenge to Changling Academy involves the Academy Alliance, not only Changling Academy."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, puzzled.

This guy feels a bit too attached to Changling Academy?

"Hmph! Just because you say it’s not directed doesn’t make it so? Today, I’ll clear you out for betraying students of the Academy. Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you hold a position in the Extraterritorial Battlefield; this is Changling Academy!"

Lu Qingxiang shouted again.

"Lu Qingxiang, what nonsense are you talking? Jiang Chen expelled himself, not escaping; stop twisting facts here!"

Su Ruoyun frowned, shouting.

Taiyuan, Zhuo Bufan, and others from Changling Academy, as well as Tang Jie and Cheng Huang’er, all furrowed their brows, watching Lu Qingxiang on the stage with a cold gaze.

This is going too far!
