Chapter 2987 - 2990: The Riot of the Six Academies

Chapter 2987: Chapter 2990: The Riot of the Six Academies

The preparatory students of Void Nether Academy completely crushed the Academy Alliance and even received rewards from them, obtaining a massive amount of ownerless Power of the Great Dao in the Dao Source Land!

Not long after Zhu Qian and the others left, a piece of news spread through all the super forces, and the teachers and students of the Six Great Academies all came to know of it.

"I heard that when they came out of the Dao Source Land, everyone’s Domain was wrapped around with a huge amount of ownerless Power of the Great Dao!"

"Fuck! That’s shameless as hell, not just comprehending and absorbing it, they even packed it up to take away?"

"The Dao Source Land is going to open again in just over ten years. They took so much— even if we manage to grab some slots, how much Power of the Great Dao can we still absorb?"

"They’ve gone too far, they should be made to hand over the remaining Power of the Great Dao!"

"Right, make them hand it over!"

Voices of discontent echoed throughout the Six Great Academies.

Saint Realm and Integration Realm Peak elites from the other five academies, whether elders or students, all rushed toward Changling Academy.

Every one of these people was over fifty, no longer qualified to participate in the challenge.

Yet with certain people stirring the pot, they were all filled with disgust toward Jiang Chen and the others, convinced they were nothing but robbers who had stolen what belonged to them, and flocked to Changling Academy to demand answers from Jiang Chen and his group.

When Zhao Buzu learned of this, he glanced at the six Deans gathered together again and simply said: if they want to spar, let them come; but if they want the Power of the Great Dao, forget it. Whoever has a problem with that, tell him to come see me personally and say it to my face!

When the elites of the Six Great Academies heard Zhao Buzu’s words, they immediately wilted a bit. Going to demand things from a Supreme Realm Peak powerhouse—are they tired of living?

"Then challenge them—beat them so badly they won’t have the face to carry that power away!"

No one knew who came up with the idea, but the people of the Six Great Academies started setting up arenas, putting up six platforms in the Grand Martial Arts Arena of Changling Academy to challenge the preparatory students of Void Nether Academy.

On the first day, no one paid them any attention.

On the second day, still no one paid them any attention.

Hei Chong and the others weren’t idiots. Everyone the Six Great Academies had sent was over fifty, in other words, all people who had been stuck in the Saint Realm or at Integration Realm Peak for who knew how many years. How could they possibly be opponents for these youngsters?

By the third day, waves of rumors started circulating through Changling Academy.

"Void Nether Academy claims to be the number one academy, yet their students don’t even dare fight a battle in the same realm. So much for their bullshit claim of specializing in training same‑realm invincibles!"

"Exactly, and they still have the gall to go challenge the various super forces? Where’s their face?"

The rumors never mentioned that the preparatory students of Void Nether Academy were all under fifty, they only kept talking about ’same realm this, same realm that’!

"Senior Qiu, let me go up!"

In a standalone pavilion at Changling Academy, an Integration Realm Peak student looked at Qiu Wenqing, who was sitting there drinking tea.

"You’re going to go up? The Integration Realm Peak experts on the other side are all over a hundred years old and have been stuck in this realm for god knows how long. You sure you want to fight?"

Qiu Wenqing didn’t stop him, just stressed the point.

The student’s expression changed slightly, suddenly not so sure anymore.

"We’ll fight!"

Suddenly, a shout rang out as Leng Qingtian walked in with three people.

Those three were Si Huang’er, Xiang Wuhui, and Tang Jie.

Back in the Dao formation, with Jiang Chen’s help, the three of them had first used Primordial Spirit Power to condense an illusory Domain to hold the Power of the Great Dao, and then used their Primordial Spirit Power to initially condense a Domain Embryo.

This was also a cultivation method for the Domain, but before their actual realm broke through, they were unable to use the Domain!

"Senior Qiu, let us go up!"

Si Huang’er looked calmly at Qiu Wenqing.

Qiu Wenqing glanced at the three and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Your Primordial Spirits have condensed a Domain, yet your physical realm hasn’t broken through to the Saint Realm. You’re cutting corners here!"

"We only used our Primordial Spirits to condense a Domain Embryo. Our own realm hasn’t broken through—we can’t deploy the Domain, and we can’t achieve complete Unification of our strength. There’s no real difference between us and Integration Realm Peak."

Xiang Wuhui spoke with a light laugh.

"True enough. In your current state, you really aren’t much different from Integration Realm Peak. It’s just that your Primordial Spirits have reached a special realm. At the root, you still count as Integration Realm Peak!"

Qiu Wenqing nodded, then lightly waved his hand. "Go, then. Shut those Integration Realm idiots up. After that they’ll have nothing left to say. They can’t possibly be shameless enough to insist on a Saint Realm challenge. If a bunch of old Saint veterans really refuse to show a shred of face and insist on challenging, then the two of us can stretch our muscles a bit."

As he spoke, Qiu Wenqing turned his head and glanced at Leng Qingtian.

"Should’ve done this long ago."

Leng Qingtian said coldly, his face expressionless.

Si Huang’er and the other two exchanged looks, then turned and left the pavilion.

Half a day later, the three returned, and the clamor within Changling Academy had quieted considerably.

However, in less than a day, voices calling for a challenge rang out once more. This time, Qiu Wenqing’s prediction really came true—old Saint veterans spoke up, demanding to challenge the Saint Realm preparatory students who had come from Void Nether Academy.

Changling Academy’s Grand Martial Arts Arena.

Six massive arenas stood in rows across the square, with crowds of students gathered around them.

At this moment, there was one person standing atop each arena, all of them in the Saint Realm.

"Void Nether Academy, do you dare fight?"

"Do you dare or not? If you don’t, leave what you stole behind and get the hell out!"

"Come on, fight! Aren’t you the academy that claims same‑realm invincibility? Come on!"

Shouts of provocation echoed across the arenas.

"Dean, you’re not going to stop them?"

On the northern side of the Martial Arts Arena, Su Ruoyun frowned tightly at the six arenas, then turned to look at Tai Yuan.

"Stop what? It’s just students issuing challenges. What’s there to stop? Elder Su, you’re now an elder of Changling Academy, a person of the Academy Alliance. You’re no longer a student of Void Nether Academy. Watch your stance!"

Zhu Qian glared at Su Ruoyun.

"Dean Zhu, this isn’t a matter of stance. The preparatory students of Void Nether Academy are all under fifty, and they’ve only just broken through to the Saint Realm. In previous years, challenges were always between peers of the same age and realm. Now the Six Great Academies are sending old Saint veterans to challenge them—that’s already inappropriate. Furthermore, Jiang Chen and the others took the Power of the Great Dao purely as a reward. How did that turn into robbery?"

Beside him, Zhuo Bufan spoke with a frown.

"Junior, since when is it your turn to cut into our conversation?"

Zhu Qian looked coldly at Zhuo Bufan and snapped.

Zhuo Bufan’s question was one he couldn’t answer, so all he could do was use his status to suppress him.

"Zhu Qian, that’s about enough. If we really tear our face with Void Nether Academy, you’d better think carefully about the consequences."

Tai Yuan stepped sideways to block in front of Zhuo Bufan, looking coolly at Zhu Qian.

Hearing this, the faces of Zhu Qian and the others all changed.
