Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 292: Agreement

Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Agreement

Watching Ling Chen and the others leave, Ye Fan had a bad taste in his heart.

Full of remorse.

If he had known that Ling Chen’s mentor was Liu Qingcang, how could he have helped Jiang Wuyan?

What sort of person was Liu Qingcang?

He was once a contender against the current king!

How could a mere noble family’s young master compare to him!

Moreover, back then, it was Liu Qingcang who rose to prominence by defeating the Jiang Family Master!

"I’m so foolish!"

Ye Fan wished he could slap himself in the face a few times.

The talent shown by Ling Chen was definitely not something ordinary geniuses could be compared with.

When Ling Chen revealed his superior Heavenly Spirit Technique, he should have known that Ling Chen must have an extraordinarily deep background behind him.

Otherwise, how could he possess a superior Heavenly Spirit Technique?

Looking at Ye Fan’s ashen face, Chi Shen’s mouth corners slightly lifted, his eyes brimming with laughter, and within that laughter was schadenfreude.

The people of Wangxing Academy are so arrogant, huh!

This time, they’ve hit a snag, haven’t they?

He was extremely glad that he had firmly chosen to stand by Ling Chen’s side, even going as far as confronting Ye Fan. Thinking back on his initial hesitation, he felt slightly ashamed.

But thankfully, he ultimately made the wise choice.

Ye Fan from Wangxing Academy even went so far as to assist Jiang Wuyan against Ling Chen, so Ling Chen would definitely not join Wangxing Academy.

And, the only choice for Ling Chen would be Jiangxing Academy.

Not only that, but Ling Wu would also join.

Securing two super geniuses at once, Chi Shen’s heart was also filled with excitement.

Over the Xingluo River, the competition of the Eight Palaces continued.

However, Chi Shen had lost interest.

As soon as the competition ended, Chi Shen couldn’t wait to rush to Yunqi Inn.

Yunqi Inn.

In the council chamber, eleven people from True Martial Academy gathered.

At this moment, ten pairs of eyes were focused on one person, filled with intense shock.

Who could have thought, Ling Chen was this terrifyingly strong, even capable of slaying the Palace Master of Taiwu Academy who was at the sixth layer of Primordial Pill Realm?

"Young Master Ling, you really kept us in the dark!"

Mo Han said with a smile.

Today’s events, they were extremely worried about Ling Chen.

"Palace Master, there’s no need to be so formal, just call me Ling Chen," Ling Chen said with a slight smile.

It was indeed a bit awkward for Mo Han to address him as a young master.

"Alright."

Mo Han nodded his head.

In the Cultivation World, strength is the most respected.

Now that Ling Chen’s strength had surpassed his, even calling him Lord Ling would not be too much.

"About today’s incident, it was indeed my fault. I’ve given everyone a scare. However, please forgive me. Some things are not convenient to disclose to the public."

Ling Chen stood up and bowed slightly to everyone.

"We understand."

Mo Han quickly said.

As a cultivator, he naturally knew the importance of hiding one’s strength. Showing off all one’s capabilities was not a wise move.

"Palace Master, rest assured, the champion title of this Eight Palaces competition will definitely belong to our academy."

Ling Chen said with a smile.

If it were the old rules, he wouldn’t dare to say so.

But with this continuous challenge system, with his strength, no one is his opponent.

"Yes!"

Qin Wan Er and the others were visibly excited.

Their True Martial Academy was practically predetermining the champion’s position in advance!

"Hmm, with your strength, you can definitely be described as dominating the field."

Mo Han was also quite excited.

Winning the championship for True Martial Academy, as the master of one palace, he would naturally receive a reward.

But the greater reward came from Ling Chen and Ling Wu.

Each of the Eight Great Academies would receive a bonus for every genius they sent into Wangxing or Jiangxing Academy.

Such rewards were much more substantial than the prizes of a mere championship!

"Ling Chen, thank you!"

After calming his emotions, Mo Han looked at Ling Chen seriously.

Now he is in the late phase of the Primordial Pill Realm, Level Six. If he advances once more, he may even have the chance to become a high-level Cultivator of the Primordial Pill Realm!

At this moment, Chi Shen arrived.

"Lord Chi!"

Mo Han and the others quickly stood up to pay their respects.

"Master Mo, please, there’s no need for formalities."

Chi Shen took Mo Han’s hands, which were clasped in a salute, and lifted them up, expressing concern, "Master Mo, your injuries should be no problem now, right?"

"Thanks to Lord Chi’s concern, I have fully recovered."

Mo Han said.

"Mhm, that’s good."

Chi Shen let out a sigh of relief and felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

He enthusiastically patted Mo Han’s shoulder and said, "Master Mo, you have truly worked hard. For producing two peerless geniuses for our Great Xia, I, on behalf of True Martial Academy, thank you!"

"Lord Chi speaks too highly of me. It is my duty."

Mo Han hurriedly replied.

Although Chi Shen’s words were clearly directed at Mo Han, his gaze was intently fixed on Ling Chen.

Ling Chen was well aware of the implications in Chi Shen’s look.

"Thank you for your assistance today, Lord Chi!"

Ling Chen bowed slightly as he spoke.

"Young Master Ling, it is what I should do. A peerless genius like you, had you perished, it would have indeed been a colossal loss for our Great Xia!"

Chi Shen’s face revealed a satisfied smile.

Ling Chen remembered his timely help; naturally, his next step should be the expected agreement to join True Martial Academy, right?

Feeling the fervent look in Chi Shen’s eyes, Ling Chen no longer delayed and smiled, "Lord Chi, regarding the earlier matter, I have given it some thought. I am willing to accept your invitation and join True Martial Academy!"

"Good!"

A look of wild joy appeared in Chi Shen’s eyes.

His heart’s desire was finally fulfilled.

"Lord Chi, I will also join True Martial Academy."

At this time, Ling Wu’s voice rang out.

"Excellent, excellent!"

Unable to contain himself, Chi Shen clapped and laughed heartily.

By bringing these two geniuses into True Martial Academy, there might be a chance to rival the Crown Prince of the Celestial Academy in the future.

After a long while, Chi Shen finally calmed down.

He looked at both Ling Chen and said, "You two are now preliminary students of True Martial Academy. Normally, we would grant you the Jade Tokens at this stage. However, the ceremony usually takes place during the closing rites of the Eight Palaces Martial Contest."

"Understood, no problem."

Ling Chen nodded in reply.

Chi Shen glanced at Ling Chen, thought for a moment, and with a flip of his palm, took out two Jade Tokens, saying, "Come! First, imbue them with your blood to claim ownership."

After all, it was just a verbal agreement; he was worried they might change their minds, so it was better to set things in stone now.

Once they’ve claimed the Jade Tokens, they would officially belong to True Martial Academy.

Even if they wanted to join the Celestial Academy, it would no longer be possible.

Seeing that both had completed claiming ownership, Chi Shen nodded in satisfaction: "I’ll keep the Jade Tokens safe for you. I’ll return them to you during the closing ceremony."

"Mhm."

Ling Chen and Ling Wu had no objections.

"Alright, then I will be on my way."

Chi Shen spoke up.

"Lord Chi, take care!"

Everyone respectfully sent him off.

Chi Shen nodded and was about to head outside.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and looked towards Ling Chen and Ling Wu, saying, "Young Master Ling, Miss Ling, there’s no need to be so formal anymore, you can just call me Elder Chi."

Now that the three of them belonged to the same academy, there was no need for the formal address of ’Lord.’

"Alright, Elder Chi!"

Ling Chen and Ling Wu nodded together.

Only then did Chi Shen leave, feeling completely satisfied.

"Congratulations!"

Mo Han and the others congratulated Ling Chen and Ling Wu.

"Thank you."

Ling Chen smiled.

Then, he turned to Wan Er and the others and said, "Don’t be discouraged; you can still participate in the entrance assessments of the two major academies."

"Mhm."

Wan Er and the others nodded.

Just then, Chi Shen returned.
