Chapter 1131 - Lin Jue Comes for Revenge, Inksnow Academy Dean’s Suggestion, the
Boom!
Lin Xian’s head suddenly exploded, with blood and brain splattered everywhere!
Some of the blood, mixed with faint signs of sword intent, landed on that young man’s body. Overcome by shock, he screamed uncontrollably.
That headless body fell onto the ground with a thud, twitching a few times before becoming still.
Lin Xian… was dead!
His screams attracted the attention of everyone around him. A crowd quickly gathered around and started gossiping.
“W-What happened?!”
“These… are traces of sword intent! There’s sword intent mixed in this person’s blood. The one who did this is certainly a sword cultivator. However, who could it be?”
“I didn’t see anyone attacking him earlier.”
“This sword intent didn’t come from the outside. Instead, it exploded from within. Someone imbued a strand of sword qi inside him and ignited it later on.”
“It’s Chu Kuangren!”
The young man, who was following Lin Xian, suddenly thought of something and exclaimed as he recalled what Chu Kuangren did earlier.
Chu Kuangren pointed his finger at Lin Xian’s forehead just now. Then, only a few steps out of the Scripture Sea, Lin Xian’s head exploded.
Who would possibly believe that Chu Kuangren was not responsible for that?
During that time, Chu Kuangren was sitting by a window in the Scripture Sea with the sun shining on him, reading a book leisurely.
Judging from his handsome appearance, otherworldly aura, and peaceful demeanor, Lin Xian’s death did not matter to him at all.
Everyone looked at him with a cautious expression.
To their surprise, Lin Xian, a Sixth-grade Earthen Immortal, was killed by him using some unknown technique.
A move like that made everyone cautious of Chu Kuangren. They even felt… afraid!
“It seems like Chu Kuangren has hidden his strength well.”
“Sure enough, a Heavenly Champion is not someone to be messed with.”
Everyone was engaged in a discussion.
Meanwhile, the manager of the White Deer Academy’s Scripture Sea arrived. He looked at Chu Kuangren and asked sternly. “Do you have anything to do with Lin Xian’s death? Was it you who killed him?”
Chu Kuangren nodded gently. “Yeah.”
He answered blatantly without denying it.
He did insert a strand of sword qi inside Lin Xian by pointing his finger on the latter’s forehead earlier, and he also carefully timed when it would ignite.
With his level of sword qi control, it was not hard for him to do something like that. Moreover, judging by Lin Xian’s abilities, there was no way he could defend himself from it too.
“You have violated one of the rules of the Hundred Academy.”
“According to the Hundred Academy’s rules, we’re not allowed to harm anyone inside the Scripture Sea. However, as you can see, I didn’t kill him inside the Scripture Sea but outside,” Chu Kuangren said calmly.
“You…”
The Scripture Sea’s manager did not know how to refute him.
Meanwhile, the young man with Lin Xian earlier immediately took a deep breath and left in a hurry.
Perhaps he was afraid, or perhaps he was going to report it to the higher-ups.
However, Chu Kuangren could not care less as he did not violate the Hundred Academy’s rules. Furthermore, the Scripture Sea could not do anything to him as he was a Heavenly Champion.
Hence, he continued reading inside the Scripture Sea.
Over the last three years, he had read through almost all the collection of books inside the White Deer Academy’s library. With the help of his Scholarly Snowpeak Heart, his learning rate had increased to an unbelievable level.
Three months later, a young man arrived hovering outside the White Deer Academy.
That young man had a cold expression, with ferocious qi swirling around him. Seeing him, everyone could not help but gasp and keep a distance from him.
“If I’m not mistaken, he must be Lin Jue of Inksnow Academy.” One of the students recognized him.
“You’re right. It is him.”
“What is he doing in the White Deer Academy?”
“Don’t you know? A few months ago, when Lin Xian came to our academy looking for reference material, he got into a conflict with Chu Kuangren, who killed him. I suppose Lin Jue, as his elder brother, must be here to take revenge.”
“Well, it sure seems that way.”
“It looks like things are going to get interesting now.”
Standing outside the Scripture Sea with his dense ferocious qi surging everywhere, Lin Jue said coldly, “Chu Kuangren, come out and meet your end!”
From asking around, he learned that Chu Kuangren was still inside the Scripture Sea. He must take revenge for Lin Xian’s death no matter the cost.
Following Lin Jue’s challenge to battle, the students inside the Scripture Sea began talking about it, and they all looked at Chu Kuangren sitting in the corner.
At that time, Chu Kuangren was sitting with his legs crossed and his Immortal Consciousness wandering within the Scripture Sea, learning all sorts of knowledge.
He turned a deaf ear to Lin Jue’s challenge.
Frankly speaking, he could not even bother with it.
When the students saw his non-existent reaction, more of them inside the Scripture Sea started talking about him. They were debating whether Chu Kuangren was afraid to go out or not.
“Silence.” Just then, the Scripture Sea’s manager uttered.
It was only after that everyone quieted down.
“Not coming out, are you? Very well. Let’s see how long you intend to hide inside the Scripture Sea!” Outside the Scripture Sea, Lin Jue snorted before sitting down on the ground as if blocking the exit of the building.
No one was allowed to harm anyone inside the Scripture Sea.
Since that was the case, he decided to sit and wait until Chu Kuangren came out. He was confident that Chu Kuangren could not hide inside for long.
He refused to believe that a Heavenly Champion would cower from battle and do nothing after being the academy’s laughingstock.
The manager looked at Lin Jue. When he realized that the latter would not leave until he killed Chu Kuangren, he frowned. “It looks like this matter is getting quite serious. I should notify the White Deer Academy’s Dean and others so that they’ll come to handle this.”
He could not make decisions rashly since the matter involved a Heavenly Champion.
With that, the manager sent a message to the White Deer Academy’s Dean.
Soon after, the clouds in the sky tumbled as a white Immortal Deer glided in the air. On its back, an elderly man was riding it.
The elderly man was wearing white Daoist robes and holding a whisk in his hand. He was the White Deer Academy’s Dean.
Besides the White Deer Academy’s Dean, Inksnow Academy’s Dean and Planquilon Academy’s Dean arrived right after.
After all, the two parties involved in the matter were people from those two academies.
“Greetings, honorable Deans.”
“Greetings, honorable Deans.”
The students quickly greeted.
However, mostonly greeted the White Deer Academy and Inksnow Academy’s Dean. As for the Planquilon Academy’s Dean, he had seemingly become an invisible man to them.
That was because, besides Chu Kuangren, there was no one else worth mentioning in Planquilon Academy, and that included their Dean.
That academy was the weakest overall…
It was not a joke.
Unlike the Inksnow Academy, which was at least on the lower average among the nineteen academies, the Planquilon Academy was much weaker than them.
“Alright, you two. Tell me how we should settle this,” the White Deer Academy’s Dean said calmly.
Since it was not his students causing trouble, he naturally pushed the responsibility to the Inksnow Academy’s Dean and Planquilon Academy’s Dean.
“A life for a life. It seems fine to me.” The Inksnow Academy’s Dean, who was an elderly woman, looked at the Planquilon Academy’s Dean and said coldly.
“Oh, but according to what I know, Lin Xian insulted Master Chu first,” the Planquilon Academy’s Dean said.
Although he was not as strong as the Inksnow Academy’s Dean, he would not allow her to bully him. After all, he did not think Chu Kuangren was at fault here.
“Killing someone just because of what they said, and someone who was one of the most excellent students of my Inksnow Academy at that? Chu Kuangren is way too arrogant. If you ask me, I say we abolish his status as a Heavenly Champion and hand his will of the Immortal World to someone else,” the Inksnow Academy’s Dean said.
“You want his identity as a Heavenly Champion.”
“Hmph. Just look at what he’s been up to all these years, burying himself in those books in the Scripture Sea for so long, and he hasn’t even cultivated. I bet he must be crippled of his cultivation. Why doesn’t he just hand out the will of the Immortal World now? I bet many more are more qualified than him to be the Heavenly Champion. Look at Lin Jue here. He seems like the right fit. I shall raise this matter with the Famed Master Pavilion,” the Inksnow Academy’s Dean said.
However, as soon as she said that, a sudden powerful burst of Dao fluctuation erupted from the Scripture Sea.
From the void, a mighty and majestic snow-capped mountain appeared. A surge of freezing qi emerged and spread everywhere, enveloping the whole White Deer Academy within it.
The eyes of the few academies’ Deans widened, their faces full of astonishment.
“T-This is…”
Chapter 1132: Mastering the Two Great Conjurations, There’s No Need to Trouble Master for This, I Should Be Enough to Kill You
Inside the Famed Master Pavilion, Mister Lu and a few Famed Masters were discussing something.
Just then, a mysterious Dao fluctuation suddenly erupted from afar, carrying with it a refreshing scent of freezing qi.
“This freezing qi…… What’s going on?!”
“This energy fluctuation…… It’s the fluctuation of a transformation!”
The other Famed Masters also noticed it, and their expressions shifted.
Among them, Mister Lu suddenly thought of something and looked toward the source of that mysterious energy fluctuation in shock. “It’s coming from the White Deer Academy!”
Everyone looked at each other and then dashed into the distance.
Meanwhile, inside the White Deer Academy, the three Deans were now looking above the Scripture Sea, puzzled.
Countless Daoist patterns were intertwining in the void, forming the conjuration of a majestic silvery snow-capped ridge.
“I-It’s the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart!”
“How’s this possible? The Scholarly Snowpeak Heart Conjuration hasn’t been seen in the Hundred Academy for many years!”
“Who is it?!”
Only a handful of people in the academy could produce a Scholarly Heart Conjuration, let alone a Scholarly Snowpeak Heart Conjuration, which was the most powerful Scholarly Heart Conjurations and no weaker than the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram too.
“Could it be……”
Seemingly recalling something, a smile gradually appeared on the face of the Planquilon Academy’s Dean. “It must be Master Chu.”
He was almost a hundred percent sure that Chu Kuangren caused that conjuration to appear……
Long ago, back in the Planquilon Academy, Chu Kuangren had mastered the Plentiful Knowledge Elegance conjuration and then upgraded it into an Enlightenment Source energy. After that, he also mastered the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram. Hence, it was possible for him to have gained another conjuration, which was the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart.
“Master Chu is someone who regularly creates miracles. I knew it. All these years he spent inside the Scripture Sea was not in vain.”
“Haha! So that’s what it is.”
The Planquilon Academy’s Dean laughed heartily with his head high.
Meanwhile, in the Scripture Sea, most students were looking at Chu Kuangren, who was surrounded by countless intertwining Daoist patterns while emanating waves of freezing qi. They were all stunned speechless.
Even the Scripture Sea’s manager was shocked.
“I can’t believe it’s the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart……”
Not long after, Mister Lu and the Famed Masters of the Famed Master Pavilion also arrived on the scene. They looked at the towering range of mountains in the void and were astonished
“It really is the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart.”
“Who is it?”
Mister Lu and the others mobilized their Immortal Consciousness, which soon locked on to Chu Kuangren inside the Scripture Sea. Then, a weird look appeared on their faces.
“It’s him.”
“I can’t believe this bookworm has managed to comprehend the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart.”
They, too, were aware of Chu Kuangren’s fame.
After all, he was the only Heavenly Champion who had been immersed in books instead of cultivating. It was hard not to notice someone like him.
“He seemed so immersed in the Scripture Sea that I thought he could not pull himself out of it. I can’t believe he has comprehended the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart Conjuration,” Mister Lu mumbled.
He was a little ashamed as if being dealt a slap in the face.
Fortunately, he had only told Bai Rui about it the other day, so he looked at Bai Rui with a deep gaze.
Bai Rui shuddered upon sensing his gaze and recalled their conversation a few days ago. He quickly signaled a look, promising not to speak of that ever again.
Inside the Scripture Sea, Chu Kuangren slowly opened his eyes, which looked like there were snow-capped ridges with heavy snow falling inside them. “So this is the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart Conjuration, huh? Its strengthening effects are almost on par with my Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram.”
He had finally read through every single book inside the White Deer Academy’s Scripture Sea, so he took the chance to comprehend the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart Conjuration too.
The Scripture Sea’s manager standing beside him was shocked.
What did he just hear?
‘Did he just say the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram?!’
‘So Chu Kuangren hasn’t only mastered the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart Conjuration but the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram too?’
‘H-How is this even possible?!’
Outside the Scripture Sea, Mister Lu looked at the Planquilon Academy’s Dean and asked, “I heard that Chu Kuangren has previously mastered the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram. Is that true?”
The Planquilon Academy’s Dean nodded gently. “It’s absolutely true.”
He knew that the Famed Master Pavillion’s evaluation of Chu Kuangren had been worsening every year. Some people were even scheming behind the scenes, seeking to take away his status as a Heavenly Champion like the Inksnow Academy’s Dean.
Therefore, he must gain and fight for enough foothold for Chu Kuangren.
At the very least, he must ensure that Chu Kuangren’s status as Heavenly Champion was protected.
Most of the people inside the Planquilon Immortal World would know of Chu Kuangren’s Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram, and one would only investigate a while to verify that fact. There was no point in hiding it.
“The Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram and the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart, huh? If this is true, Chu Kuangren will be the first person in Hundred Academy to ever master those two conjurations since the ancient Immortal era,” Mister Lu said seriously.
The others also knew the importance of that.
“It looks like it’s time we raise Chu Kuangren’s evaluations.”
“He is the only one who can display two out of the three most famous Hundred Academy conjurations. Something like this is just too rare.”
The three most famous conjurations in the history of Hundred Academy were the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram, the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart, and the Golden Rule Order.
Throughout history, those who could master one of those three would have the potential to become a Holy Late Teacher of the Hundred Academy.
However, Chu Kuangren had already mastered two of them.
If Chu Kuangren could stay alive long enough, it was almost certain that he would become one of the Holy Late Teachers in the academy.
At the entrance of the Scripture Sea, Lin Jue was a little dumbfounded.
After seeing the Famed Masters of the Famed Master Pavilion praising Chu Kuangren unanimously, his expression became even more unpleasant.
“How is this possible?”
“How can this nerd possibly master the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart? D*mn it! D*mn it! How am I going to take revenge?!”
Lin Jue was extremely angry. He only had the guts to seek revenge because of the Famed Master Pavilion’s low evaluation of Chu Kuangren, and he planned to take over Chu Kuangren’s place as a Heavenly Champion.
However, now that everyone in the Famed Master Pavilion was impressed by Chu Kuangren, his chances of taking revenge had become incredibly slim.
“Who was looking for me to take revenge on earlier?”
At that time, an indifferent voice sounded from the Scripture Sea.
Chu Kuangren slowly walked out.
Lin Jue’s body instantly trembled upon hearing his words.
If he were to back down, he would surely become a laughingstock of the entire academy. Although he knew that the Famed Master Pavilion would not allow him to fight Chu Kuangren, he still gritted his teeth and stepped out.
“It’s me! Chu Kuangren, for killing my younger brother, I must take revenge for him no matter what! If you still possess the pluck of a Heavenly Champion, I challenge you to a fight till death!” Lin Jue said coldly.
Although Chu Kuangren was a Heavenly Champion, he did not cower.
A Heavenly Champion only represented a person’s eligibility to participate in the Battle of Heavenly Champions, not a person’s combat strength.
Besides, despite not being a Heavenly Champion, he was already at the Eight-grade Earthen Immortal Realm and was extremely close to reaching the Ninth-grade now.
Even if he were to face a Heavenly Champion in battle, why should he be afraid?
“A fight till death? You’re too weak for that.”
Chu Kuangren shook his head in reply. “You’re not even worth my effort.”
“You arrogant pr*ck! So what if you’ve mastered the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart Conjuration? A person’s combat strength doesn’t depend on their conjurations.”
“That’s right. I don’t need to activate a conjuration to kill you,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
Lin Jue’s eyebrows raised. “Did you obtain the title of a Heavenly Champion by talking?”
“Wherever. Killing you won’t take much anyway.”
Chu Kuangren shook his head and was about to end Lin Jue on the spot.
Mister Lu and the others were watching the scene from a distance. They did not intend to stop Chu Kuangren as they wished to see the extent of his power.
Just then, a white beam of light suddenly came down from the sky!
A figure in silver-white armor with a pair of wings emerged from that beam of light. It was none other than Lan Yu. She looked at Lin Jue and said indifferently. “There’s no need to trouble Master for this. I should be enough to kill you.”
