Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 273: Scramble

Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Scramble

At this moment, everyone’s gaze converged upon Ling Wu, their faces filled with disbelief.

Who could have imagined that Ling Wu, previously mocked and expected to self-destruct, would in the blink of an eye land Wu Jing in such a wretched state with a single sword strike?

"How is this possible?"

"How can she merge Ice Spiritual Power with Fire Spiritual Power?"

On the observation platform, there were cries of astonishment.

Having both Ice Spirit Body and Fire Spirit Body in one person was already perplexing to them.

But that was not the most shocking part.

The truly terrifying fact was that Ling Wu could actually fuse the Ice Spiritual Power with Fire Spiritual Power into one!

This completely overturned their understanding!

The elders from both the True Martial Academy and another academy had faces full of disbelief.

After a while, Elder Ye Fan from True Martial Academy turned to Mo Han and said, "Master Mo, you must have known about this all along, right?"

No wonder Mo Han was so calm before; he had known all along.

"Of course. Otherwise, how could I face being a Palace Master?"

Mo Han smiled and said, "I wonder, Lord Ye, based on Ling Wu’s talent, does she qualify to enter the True Martial Academy?"

"Yes."

Before Ye Fan could speak up, Elder Chi Shen from another academy smiled towards Mo Han.

"Lord Chi, Master Mo was asking about my True Martial Academy!"

Ye Fan’s eyes widened.

However, Chi Shen didn’t care and said, "I know! I am saying Ling Wu can surely join our academy without any exams."

Hearing these words, Mo Han became incredibly excited.

Both True Martial Academy and the other academy were among the Great Xia Dynasty’s most elite learning institutions.

Joining either would be an utmost honor.

"Thank you, Lord Chi!"

Mo Han quickly thanked Chi Shen.

"Master Mo, there’s no need for pleasantries. Selecting talents for the academy is my responsibility!" Chi Shen said with a smile.

At this moment, Ye Fan also looked towards Mo Han and said, "Master Mo, Ling Wu can also join the True Martial Academy without any exams!"

Although the two types of spirit bodies Ling Wu possessed were not among the most elite Super Spiritual Bodies.

Yet, Ling Wu had an advantage that other top super spiritual bodies did not have.

That was the fusion of Ice and Fire Spiritual Power!

Moreover, the combined Ice and Fire Spiritual Power was significantly stronger than the spiritual powers of the elite spiritual bodies!

Additionally, Ling Wu’s Spirit Art talent was also the most top-notch.

Such a talent was someone True Martial Academy had no reason to turn away.

Upon hearing this, Mo Han was even more thrilled.

Even other Palace Masters were casting looks of immense envy.

Having a talent directly join the two top academies meant both the Academic Palace and the Palace Master would receive generous rewards granted by King You.

"Master Mo, please notify Ling Wu that she has been admitted by the True Martial Academy. She should report to the True Martial Academy one month after the Eight Palaces Martial Discussion ends," Ye Fan directly said.

Clearly, he understood the importance of acting first.

Chi Shen glanced at Ye Fan, also unwilling to show weakness, and said, "Master Mo, I represent the other academy and welcome Ling Wu to join. She can report to our academy at any time within two months."

Seeing the elders of the two top academies go head to head over a student from the True Martial Academy caused several Palace Masters almost to pop their eyes out.

As for Mo Han, his face was filled with bitterness.

If an invitation from one academy was an honor, then being invited by two academies was practically a disaster for him.

Because he could not afford to offend either academy.

"Master Mo, tell Ling Wu that from now on, she is a part of the True Martial Academy!" Ye Fan said with a smile.

Chi Shen stood up, looking towards the silhouette in the sky, and declared loudly: "Ling Wu, congratulations, you have been admitted to the Shooting Star Academic Palace!"

After saying that, he gave Ye Fan a proud glance.

The goal for both was Ling Wu, but Ye Fan had been informed through Palace Master Mo. How could that compare to his direct notification in terms of sincerity?

"What?!"

The crowd was first stunned, then erupted into incredulous exclamations.

It was even more shocking than Ling Wu defeating Wu Jing.

This is the Shooting Star Academic Palace!

One of the two top-most elite academies of the Great Xia Dynasty!

They were actually extending an invitation to Ling Wu?

Ye Fan suddenly stood up, staring at Chi Shen, and said: "Chi Shen, you dare to vie with me for a person?"

"What vying for a person?"

"Damn, Star King Academic Palace invited Ling Wu to join too?"

"Good heavens? Are the high-ranking officials of both top academies really going head to head over a talent from the True Martial Academy? Am I dreaming?"

...

The observing cultivators almost went mad.

These were the very top two academies in Great Xia, and now they were nearly coming to blows over Ling Wu?

Chi Shen stood his ground and declared: "Why wouldn’t I dare? Your Star King Academic Palace may be powerful, but the Shooting Star Academic Palace is not vegetarian either!"

Being sent to attend and undertake the important task of selecting talents, both individuals were naturally distinguished figures of the academies. Why would they give up their principles because of a threat?

"Both Lords, please calm your anger!"

Palace Masters like Xu Qing and Li Xuan hurriedly went up to mediate.

Hearing this, both men then restrained themselves.

After all, they were high-ranking officials of the two top-tier academies, representing the dignity of both. They were about to come to blows in public, which would certainly damage the face of both academies.

"Palace Master Mo, I must see Ling Wu in the Star King Academic Palace, you see to it, okay?"

Ye Fan said coldly.

"I..."

Hearing this, Mo Han was immediately stunned.

He thought this would be good news, but unexpectedly, he ended up being threatened by Ye Fan.

Chi Shen sneered: "Lord Ye, such grandeur! The Star King Academic Palace always operates in such a domineering manner! Are you threatening Palace Master Mo now? However, isn’t it Ling Wu that we invited? What business is it of yours to threaten Palace Master Mo? Could it be, Lord Ye, that Palace Master Mo really has the power to decide the fate of such a talent?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan’s expression changed.

He quickly said: "I did not threaten Palace Master Mo!"

He had stayed in the Star King Academic Palace for too long, accustomed to giving orders. Even within the Royal Capital, very few people would defy him.

Chi Shen nodded and suggested: "I also believe that Lord Ye would not threaten a mere Palace Master. Since both of us wish for Ling Wu to join our respective academies, why not let her make the choice?"

Mo Han glanced at Chi Shen gratefully and transmitted his voice: "Thank you, sir."

He knew that Chi Shen was helping him out of a tough spot.

As a mere Palace Master, how could he compare to the senior ranks of the colossal Star King Academic Palace?

"I do it for Ling Wu."

Chi Shen responded: "I hope you relay today’s events to Ling Wu, Palace Master."

"Okay!"

At this moment, Ye Fanye nodded.

He looked at Ling Wu and smiled: "Ling Wu, the Star King Academic Palace also invites you to join. Between us and the Shooting Star Academic Palace, choose one, will you?"

Ling Wu was also completely dumbfounded.

Wasn’t she just participating in a competition?

How come both the Star King and Shooting Star Academic Palaces had invited her to join all of a sudden?

And they were also asking her to make a choice?

How was she to choose?

She wasn’t familiar with either academy!

And she had never considered this before.
