Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Frightened to Death

Mo Han originally thought that Ling Chen, by displaying a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, would garner the attention of the two seniors.

But unexpectedly, there was no hint of an invitation for Ling Chen from them.

However, now, the prowess and talent of Ling Chen as a Divine Thought Master have finally made these two seniors restless.

They even went to the extent of threatening and beating a Palace Master!

Looking at them, it’s clear they are quite fond of Ling Chen indeed!

It seems like Ling Chen might stir up a contention for him between Wang Xing and Jiang Xing Academies just like Ling Wu did before!

The Eight Palaces Martial Contest is only halfway through, and his True Martial Academy already has two potential recruits by the two major academies; how could he not be immensely excited?

By providing these top academies with geniuses, both True Martial Academy and he, as the Palace Master, will receive generous rewards!

Xu Qing, Li Xuan, and a few other palace masters clearly understand Ye Fan and Chi Shen’s intentions, sending envious glances towards Mo Han from time to time.

Although their academies also have prospective students from the two top-tier academies, these are mostly from the children of the Eight Great Families.

Before these talents joined their academies, they were essentially reserved by the two major academies.

Joining their academies was merely to cultivate for the two major academies.

After all, at that time, they hadn’t met the criteria to enter the two major academies.

Thus, such rewards for the talents would usually be given to the Eight Great Families, not to their academies.

"Master Mo, congratulations."

They quickly communicated through voice transmission.

"Thank you!"

Mo Han replied through voice transmission.

At that moment, Zhao Tianwu, with a resentful look, glanced at Ling Chen before squeezing a smile onto his face and returned to the main observation platform without uttering a word.

Ye Fan and Chi Shen were not individuals he could afford to offend.

Even if they were to kill him on the spot, they would probably not face severe punishment.

He could only vent his anger on Ling Chen instead.

Ling Chen slightly bowed to the two seniors, saying, "Thank you both for your fairness and for standing up for me, clearing my grievances."

Their reaction was indeed beyond his expectations.

Especially the elder from Jiang Xing Academy, who slapped Zhao Tianwu across the face in public, leaving him utterly discredited.

He knew that revealing his Divine Soul at the Primordial stage would inevitably lead to their invitation.

This was also one reason why he dared to confront Zhao Tianwu directly.

Of course, the second reason is that he was Dark Night Son of the Dark Night.

His Protector must be nearby.

He would never allow Zhao Tianwu to kill him while watching.

Regarding the third reason, Ling Chen did want to try his hand against a Cultivator at the sixth level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

"Young Master Ling, no need for such courtesy. It’s truly a blessing for the Great Xia Dynasty to have a Divine Thought Master genius like yourself! I, Ye Fan, an elder of Wang Xing Academy, on behalf of Wang Xing Academy, would like to invite you to join."

Ye Fan said with a smile.

Just now, Chi Shen made the first move to relieve Ling Chen.

So, this time, he took the initiative to speak.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Shen looked towards Ling Chen, smiling, "Young Master Ling, it was a mere trifle; no need for heavy regard. I’m Chi Shen, representing Jiang Xing Academy, and look forward to your joining."

Seeing the two major academy seniors once again extending olive branches to the True Martial Academy’s students, the watching Cultivators couldn’t contain their excitement.

"True Martial Academy is really impressive! They not only have a genius who can fuse the powers of Ice and Fire but another Divine Thought Master genius?"

"Is this really the same True Martial Academy that has been at the bottom for several sessions?"

"Yes! It’s truly unbelievable!"

"Haha, this time, with Ling Chen, a top-grade initial stage Divine Thought Master, they might even have a chance to compete for the championship."

"Yes, there is a chance indeed! Ling Chen is a decisive genius who cultivates both Spiritual Power and Divine Soul."

...

The Cultivators watching by the river bank discussed excitedly.

Ling Chen hadn’t decided which academy to join yet, so he remained silent for the moment.

"Hehe, Young Master Ling, you don’t have to rush your answer. It’s better to be cautious with such significant matters; you can tell us by the time the Eight Palaces Martial Contest concludes."

This time, Ye Fan was very agreeable.

Actually, under normal circumstances, the announcement of direct admissions without examinations for any student would only be made by the elders of Wangxing Academic Palace and Jiangxing Academic Palace at the end of the Eight Palaces martial debate.

Only for some geniuses, who they had never encountered before, would they send out invitations simultaneously.

However, it is rare for the two major academic palaces to compete for one person.

Unless, this genius is exceptionally outstanding!

Just like Ling Wu’s fusion power of ice and fire.

Even in the two top academic palaces, there wasn’t a genius who could completely merge these two diametrically opposed attributes of spiritual power into one.

Previously, the most that had occurred were fusions of complementary spiritual powers.

For example, wood generates fire.

The fusion of wood spiritual power and fire spiritual power.

But such a fusion of spiritual power has limited power, at most only slightly stronger than a super spiritual body.

The spiritual power is only twice as strong as that of an ordinary cultivator.

Thus, Ling Wu’s ice-fire fusion power holds extremely high research value.

This has led to competition between the two major academic palaces.

As for Ling Chen, he relies entirely on his talent.

Such a young Divine Thought Master is unprecedented in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The previous record was becoming an upper-grade Divine Thought Master at twenty!

Now, that person has already become one of the top existences in the Great Xia Dynasty, second only to King You and Lord National Master.

And Ling Chen is only seventeen years old!

Three years younger than that person.

His future achievements are bound to surpass that person!

Even harboring the hope to advance to a King Grade Divine Thought Master!

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded, giving a faint smile towards the two elders.

"Vice Palace Master Xiao, please continue!"

After obtaining Ye Fan’s and Chi Shen’s approval, Xu Qing turned to Xiao Yun and said.

"Yes!"

Xiao Yun quickly responded: "Please let the second contestant of Taiwu Academy come on stage!"

Hearing Xiao Yun’s voice, the second contestant of Taiwu Academy looked bitterly at team leader Jiang Wusheng and said: "Team leader, should I just admit defeat?"

Like Zhang Yun, he was also at the early stage of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Ling Chen had killed Zhang Yun so easily, he feared it would be tantamount to courting death if he went up.

Thinking about the confrontation between the palace master and Ling Chen just now, he was somewhat afraid that Ling Chen would vent his anger on him.

That is a Divine Thought Master!

Even though it’s only an upper-beginner level, he has mastered the Divine Soul Attack. His spiritual power simply cannot withstand a Divine Soul Attack!

"Useless thing!"

Jiang Wusheng glared at him, then turned to Feng Yuan, the third contestant beside him, and asked: "Your turn?"

"Team leader, please spare me!"

Feng Yuan hurriedly said.

His cultivation was not much higher than Zhang Yun’s, roughly at the later stage of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Jiang Wusheng’s face instantly turned livid.

Before he could even speak, he heard the fourth contestant Wang Pan say with a bitter smile: "Team leader, I am not a match for this person either!"

"A bunch of trash!"

Jiang Wusheng yelled.

He hadn’t expected that these guys, who had been through the trials of battlefields, would be scared out of their wits by merely hearing about an upper-grade Divine Thought Master.

"Haha, just look at the people from Taiwu Academy! Their expressions are so funny! They must have been scared witless by Ling Chen!"

Mocking voices came from all around, causing the faces of the people from Taiwu Academy to lose all pride.
