The Sword God of the Universe
Chapter 287 - 287 287 If You Don’t Agree, Then Fight

Chapter 287: Chapter 287: If You Don’t Agree, Then Fight Chapter 287: Chapter 287: If You Don’t Agree, Then Fight Jing Yan killed Cang Long for two main reasons.

The first reason was the vendetta between them in Donglin City, where their enmity had begun.

Moreover, Cang Long constantly yearned for Jing Yan’s death.

As for the second reason, it was to prove his strength before everyone.

Didn’t these people suspect that he cheated in the Heaven Array, thinking he had obtained the Golden Order through other means?

What now?

What could they say?

Slaying Cang Long with two strikes was enough to prove that he possessed the strength to claim the Golden Order!

These people should just shut up obediently!

Still, not convinced?

Fine, any Martial Artist below the Dao Spirit Realm, Jing Yan would not refuse a challenge!

If anyone felt aggrieved, they could come and battle Jing Yan!

“Jing Yan!” Shang Qu, standing on the high platform, roared.

“Dare you kill a deacon of Divine Wind Academy?” Shang Qu’s expression was fierce, almost twisted.

Just moments before Cang Long stepped off the platform, he had declared in front of many that Cang Long represented Divine Wind Academy.

And once Cang Long stepped down, he was slain by Jing Yan with two strikes, leaving no room for face-saving and bringing shame upon the entire Divine Wind Academy.

He had hoped that Cang Long would seize the opportunity to kill Jing Yan.

But the outcome was the complete opposite of his wish.

“Shang Qu, with your caliber, you call yourself the Director of the Outer Court of Divine Wind Academy?

Just roll back where you came from, stop embarrassing yourself here!

I already said it, a life-and-death duel with Cang Long means each is responsible for their own life and death.

Did you not also support the life-and-death duel between Cang Long and me?

Or what, are you trying to say Cang Long killing me is fine, but not me killing him?” Jing Yan scoffed.

“You…” Shang Qu clenched his teeth.

But, facing so many onlookers, he truly didn’t know how to counter Jing Yan’s words.

“Now, can I say that I didn’t cheat in the Heaven Array?” Jing Yan continued with a smile, “Shang Qu, you don’t have to be sore about it.

If you are not satisfied, let’s do it then.

What about, in three months, we have a match in Prince Manor.

Yes, I am challenging you.”

Jing Yan had thrown another bombshell—he was challenging Shang Qu.

Shang Qu, a powerful figure in the Dao Spirit Realm!

This time, Jing Yan was challenging Shang Qu, a powerhouse of the Dao Spirit Realm.

The many Martial Artists around had not yet snapped out of the shock from Jing Yan killing Cang Long with two strikes, and here he was, dropping another major bombshell.

Shang Qu was also stunned!

What did Jing Yan just say?

Challenge him in three months?

Inside the Commandery Prince Manor, challenge him?

“Shang Qu, you must really want to kill me, right?

I’m giving you the chance!

Today I first stormed the Heaven Array and then killed Cang Long, so I’m quite tired.

Yes, I need some rest.

Let’s say, three months of rest.

Three months later, you and me, let’s have a life-and-death duel!” Jing Yan curled his lips.

Talking about resting out of fatigue was obviously a lie, and everyone present understood this.

However, Jing Yan saying he would have a life-and-death duel with Shang Qu after three months was shockingly audacious.

Three months to gain strength to contend with Shang Qu?

That was absolutely impossible!

The combat power of a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse was something an Innate Realm Martial Artist could not match.

Even if Jing Yan could now kill Cang Long with two strikes and possessed the combat power of a Peak Innate Martial Artist, he could not truly contend against a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse.

For Martial Artists, three months were a blink of an eye!

“Fine!

I accept your challenge!” Shang Qu’s eyes flickered.

He truly wanted to kill Jing Yan immediately, but in the Prince Manor, he had no chance to do so.

Since Jing Yan had now proposed a challenge in three months, it fit with his wishes.

After all, it was just letting Jing Yan live for three more months.

“Jing Yan, you’re too strong, aren’t you?” Wu Shen, who had approached Jing Yan at some unknown time, said with a shocked tone, his eyes wide as he looked at Jing Yan.

Wu Shen hadn’t anticipated Jing Yan to be this formidable.

His own strength was also quite potent, as could be seen from his survival through the Heaven Array.

“Just average!” Jing Yan waved his hand dismissively.

Jing Yan had a good impression of Wu Shen.

Though Wu Shen also was a scion of a major-family in Lanqu County City, he was much more appealing than Wen Yan and other family scions.

“Don’t be modest.

I originally thought that among Innate Martial Artists, my combat power was top-notch.

But now, I clearly see that I’m far behind compared to you.

Cang Long, to slay him with two strikes!

Tsk Tsk…” Wu Shen exclaimed with admiration.

Although Wu Shen was confident, he recognized that if he were to fight Cang Long, perhaps he could eventually defeat him, but to kill him easily was decidedly impossible.

Cang Long was among the upper tier of Innate Peak Martial Artists, and for an Innate Realm Martial Artist to kill him was genuinely not an easy task.

“We can spar sometime if you’re free,” Jing Yan said with a laugh.

“No way.

I’m not looking to die yet!” Hearing Jing Yan propose sparring, Wu Shen immediately waved his hands in vigilance.

Suddenly, his eyes shifted slightly, then he asked, “Jing Yan, now that you have obtained the Golden Order, the Sealing Order from the Three Major Academies is invalid for you.

Which academy are you thinking of joining?”

Wu Shen knew it was highly unlikely that Jing Yan would join Divine Wind Academy, but between Dao Yi Academy and Red Lotus Academy, Jing Yan was probably choosing one of them.

“I don’t know yet, haven’t thought that much, and I’m not necessarily going into one of the Three Major Academies,” Jing Yan shook his head, “Hmm… I definitely won’t be entering Divine Wind Academy or Red Lotus Academy.”

Jing Yan said, laughing lightly.

On the high platform, Huang Luo’s face also darkened slightly.

At this moment, he was full of regrets.

If he had known how extraordinary Jing Yan was, how could he have issued a Sealing Order to offend Jing Yan?

If he could attract Jing Yan into Red Lotus Academy, it would be hugely beneficial for him.

But, regret was too late.

Now hearing Jing Yan say he wouldn’t consider either Divine Wind Academy or Red Lotus Academy, his face turned sour.

Jing Yan’s performance was too exceptional, described as the most outstanding young Martial Artist in thirty years was utterly fitting.

He was still thinking about how to find an opportunity to get closer to Jing Yan, but Jing Yan had publicly stated he wouldn’t consider Red Lotus Academy.

“So, are you possibly going into Dao Yi Academy then?

Haha, then I might choose Dao Yi Academy as well!” Wu Shen laughed and said.

Before this, Wu Shen had not considered which academy to join.

Hearing Jing Yan’s words, he naturally understood that Jing Yan might still enter Dao Yi Academy.

Although according to the rules, his failure in the array should have disqualified him from entering the Three Major Academies.

But since he survived the Heaven Array and failed, the Three Major Academies would definitely vie for him, not requiring him to qualify for entry.

The Three Major Acadaries all had the privilege to make exceptions in recruiting new students.
