Chapter 2975: Chapter 2978: Responsibility

"In this battle, Jiang Chen wins!"

Su Ruoyun cast a deep glance at Jiang Chen, softly announcing the result, and then turned to wave at Lu Qingxiang’s Primordial Spirit.

Whoosh!

Lu Qingxiang’s Primordial Spirit transformed into a golden light, flying towards the high platform.

On the high platform, Lu Qingxiang’s mentor, with an unpleasant expression, reached out to catch the Primordial Spirit, glanced at Jiang Chen on the arena, and then swiftly flew towards the depths of the academy.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen leapt down from the arena with a single jump.

"Next!"

Su Ruoyun ascended again, softly calling out.

"Zhuo Bufan from Changling Academy challenges this friend!"

A voice sounded, Zhuo Bufan leapt onto the arena, motioning to Hei Chong below.

Hei Chong glanced at Zhuo Bufan, turned his head to look at Tang Jie, and finally looked at Jiang Chen.

Noticing Hei Chong’s gaze, Jiang Chen said softly, "As long as it’s not insult or mockery, do as you please!"

"Understood!"

Hei Chong nodded, jumped onto the arena.

This scene, falling into the eyes of the elders on the high platform, left many elders showing expressions of surprise.

"Zhao Zun, Jiang Chen’s status in Void Nether Academy..."

Fu Zhujiang, the Chancellor of Cangming Academy, looked puzzled towards Zhao Buzu.

"This Jiang Chen kid was targeted after the entrance exam of Void Nether Academy, and in a fit of anger, made all the new students submit!"

Zhao Buzu vaguely explained.

The chancellors and elders were all shocked. All the new students? The new students of Void Nether Academy are top cultivators under fifty from the Five Continents, excluding superpowers, and all were made to submit. This...

Subduing is not the same as defeating. Defeating is easy, but to make someone submit requires far superior combat strength, meaning Jiang Chen’s combat strength had already reached the pinnacle of an initial Saint!

However, thinking of Jiang Chen’s domain strength, everyone was relieved. With such a powerful domain, it’s indeed not something these initial Saint Realm cultivators can contend with.

To rival Jiang Chen, it would probably require a strong presence at the Peak of Saints!

...

"Sky-Cleaving Strike!"

A loud shout came from the arena.

A cold light appeared on Zhuo Bufan’s Sky-Cleaving Spear, within which was the Power of the Great Dao of the compressed Dao of Wind!

The battle between Zhuo Bufan and Hei Chong was nearing its end, both using their full strength.

The domains of the two were not much different, and after a collision of domains, they decisively opted for a Great Dao Attack.

"Fiery Sun Manifest!"

Hei Chong shouted sternly, flames burst out from his whole body, condensing into a dazzling golden sun above his head, fiercely crashing towards Zhuo Bufan.

Rumble!

A loud rumbling sound arose, the entire arena was covered by Kuang Feng and flames, and the violent Qi Force spread outward from the arena.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The formation on the arena surfaced, blocking the violent Qi Force.

Everyone widened their eyes, nervously watching the arena.

Especially the people from Changling Academy, with only two slots for each realm in each of the Six Great Academies. If Zhuo Bufan lost after Lu Qingxiang’s defeat at the hands of Jiang Chen, Changling Academy would be completely wiped out!

Under everyone’s gaze, the Kuang Feng and flames on the arena gradually dissipated, revealing two figures.

Hei Chong was covered in blood, his body littered with numerous wounds, some deep enough to expose bone, his face pale and frightening, kneeling on one knee and gasping heavily!

Zhuo Bufan, holding the long spear and leaning on the ground, stood there charred, yet his eyes lacked any spirit.

Whoosh!

Su Ruoyun flickered onto the arena, checking the injuries of both.

"Senior Zhuo... lost!"

Jiang Chen sighed lightly.

"Zhuo Bufan lost?"

Tang Jie spoke in surprise.

"Senior Zhuo lost on foundation!"

Jiang Chen explained softly, "Hei Chong’s great sun didn’t just consist of the Power of the Great Dao, it must have some spiritual objects refined into it, significantly boosting its attack, and coupled with Senior Zhuo’s pride, not willing to leverage the agility of the Dao of Wind to prolong the battle.

If the battle dragged on, with Senior Zhuo’s combat experience, he’d surely seize the chance to deal a fatal blow to Hei Chong, but... he chose to fight head-on. Against a great sun empowered by spiritual objects, Senior Zhuo couldn’t defeat Hei Chong with just his strength alone!"

"Why didn’t he retreat temporarily?"

Tang Jie frowned slightly, speaking in a somewhat puzzled manner.

"In this battle, Hei Chong wins!"

At this moment, a voice announced, Su Ruoyun cast a complex look at Zhuo Bufan, who at this point had lost consciousness, standing on the arena only by sheer will!

"Senior Zhuo is mighty!"

"Senior Zhuo, you are our pride!"

A chorus of shouts arose, members of Changling Academy looking at the defeated but still standing Zhuo Bufan, shouting profoundly.

"Senior Zhuo did it for the honor of Changling Academy!"

Jiang Chen looked at Zhuo Bufan on the arena and spoke softly, "He’s the top Inner Court Student; if he retreated temporarily, it would affect the morale of Changling Academy. If it weren’t for Lu Qingxiang’s earlier actions, he could have fought that way.

But because of Lu Qingxiang, the morale of all the students at Changling Academy has dropped significantly. It’s not about this challenge, but all academy students have been somewhat affected. After all, Lu Qingxiang’s methods were not very fair, and he attempted to sneak attack later, staining Changling Academy’s reputation."

"Senior Zhuo needed to fight a strong battle, even if he lost, he had to stay strong to ignite the spirit of the Changling Academy students. He... seems to be shouldering the future of the academy!"

"Indeed!"

A gentle voice arose, Su Qingluan, who was healing nearby, stood up and spoke, "Senior Zhuo is Taiyuan Chancellor’s disciple, and has always been a leading figure for the students. If you were still at the academy, there’d be someone to share the burden with him, but... now only Senior Zhuo alone bears this responsibility!"

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, gently shaking his head, "My ambition is not here; even if I were still at Changling Academy, I couldn’t help share the burden. In his heart, he wants to support Changling Academy, while I, I simply strive to become strong!"

"You mean... Senior Zhuo is the successor Taiyuan Chancellor is cultivating?"

Tang Jie looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen nodded, his form flickered as he leapt onto the arena.

"Saint Elder, let me take care of Senior Zhuo!"

Jiang Chen raised his hand to stop Su Ruoyun from moving Zhuo Bufan off the arena, speaking softly.

"Alright!"

Su Ruoyun nodded, passing Zhuo Bufan to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen carried Zhuo Bufan, leapt off the arena, and took out an Elixir to heal Zhuo Bufan.

Hei Chong also leapt off the arena, glanced at Jiang Chen, hesitated for a moment, then walked over, "Brother Jiang, let me handle it. He has solar power within him; if not removed, it will be very troublesome!"
