Chapter 259 - 259 252 Cruelty

259: Chapter 252: Cruelty 259: Chapter 252: Cruelty Taixuan Academy.

Beneath the Luo Yun Tian Mu Chains.

At this moment, as Ao Hong turned to leave, Zhang Zhe and the others from the Ao Alliance also quickly departed.

The curtain falls!!!

The shock and fear brought by the Ao Alliance quietly came to an end; many who were scared to even breathe finally let out a sigh of relief…

The pressure Ao Hong brought was too immense.

“When your son arrives at Taixuan Academy, tell him he owes Ji Linger a favor…” The next second, Ji Linger looked towards Wan Jun and others, said a sentence, and also left.

Wan Jun and the others nodded vigorously, truly grateful to Ji Linger from the bottom of their hearts; Leng Mang had after all not died.

Thanks to Ji Linger, he had picked up a narrow escape, a great favor was owed.

“Now, begin traversing the Luo Yun Tian Mu!” Just then, suddenly, a deep and forceful voice came from above.

Elder Yoo’s figure, strangely appeared before everyone.

Elder Yoo.

One of the members of Taixuan Academy’s Elders Council.

Taixuan Academy has an Elders Council, with a fixed membership of ten.

Any elder possesses tremendous strength and formidable influence; in Taixuan Academy, an elder is an existence you cannot afford to provoke.

Even the academy president, when making certain decisions, needs the approval of the Elders Council.

Elder Yoo, named Yoo Tianteng, is said to be one hundred and thirty years old this year, dedicating his entire life to Taixuan Academy.

Yoo Tianteng started as a reserve duty student, later became an Outer Courtyard student, and after that, entered the Inner Courtyard.

Eventually, he stayed at Taixuan Academy to become a Martial Cultivation Instructor.

Twenty years earlier, not long after his breakthrough to the Grandmaster Late Stage of the Mysterious Qi Grandmaster Realm, he finally replaced an original elder and became one himself.

His life has been legendary, with a considerable influence within the academy.

Yoo Tianteng didn’t talk much, and unlike other elders who usually have their own descendants or closed-door disciples, up to now, he has remained solitary.

But precisely because of this, Yoo Tianteng focused on cultivation, and his strength kept increasing.

Rumors said that amongst the Elders Council, his strength was firmly among the top three.

With the appearance of Yoo Tianteng, Huang Guochun naturally also appeared in front of all the students.

One could see Huang Guochun was fawning and respectful, standing beside Yoo Tianteng.

No one would look down upon Huang Guochun; facing an elder, such an attitude was within reason.

“Today, Elder Yoo personally supervises the battle.

Try your best and strive for a good performance; if Elder Yoo takes notice of you, it might just be your chance to ascend to the heavens!” Huang Guochun said loudly, and amid his speech, he gave He Jin a deep look.

He Jin understood Huang Guochun’s meaning instantly, and, shaking with excitement, he silently nodded in agreement, having already decided he would perform well.

“Alright, form five queues, each with two hundred people, and five individuals will traverse the Luo Yun Tian Mu at a time!” Then, Elder Yoo stated the rules, his voice very cold: “As long as the traversal is successful, you pass.

However, there is a time limit; exceeding the time it takes for an incense stick to burn counts as failure, even if you have not fallen.

And within the time of a burning incense stick, the faster the traversal, the better…”

The rules were simple, yet also fair.

As everyone anticipated.

“Sister-in-law, we…” Hou Li softly said with a somewhat dim voice, “Originally, Brother Mang…”

They were a group of newcomers from Chengfeng University.

In fact, only Leng Mang might have a chance to traverse; the rest of them were not even in the Mysterious Qi Inner Strength Realm.

Moreover, since they didn’t get the opportunity to try the Luo Yun Tian Mu Chains yesterday, one could imagine what the result would be.

How sad it was that Leng Mang, the only one with a sliver of chance, was nearly killed by Ao Hong.

Though his life was saved thanks to the Elixir of the Immortal God given by Ji Linger, he still lay in critical condition, not even awakened.

How could he possibly participate in the competition?

“Everything will be fine when Su Chen returns,” sighed Mu Ziling.

Without Su Chen, every step was a struggle, and that was with them already swallowing their pride.

“When will the young master return?” Wan Jun asked with a wry smile, truly wishing that Su Chen would appear before them right now.

“Maybe, soon enough!” Mu Ziling herself didn’t know.

Before his departure, Su Chen had said he would return within ten days.

Now, those ten days were almost up.

If Su Chen was a man of his word, he would be back in the next few days.

While Mu Ziling, Wan Jun, and Hou Li were conversing in hushed tones, people had already begun crossing the Luo Yun Tian Mu Chain.

But to see it.

The Luo Yun Tian Mu Chain swayed!!!

It swayed ferociously!

It looked terrifying.

Not only that, there were no safety measures at all.

If anyone fell, even as Martial Cultivators, they wouldn’t die but they were bound to be injured!

There was also another demanding challenge.

Five people had to cross at once, and it was impossible for them to move in sync.

Each person shifted their footsteps, causing the already swaying chain to tumble and swing like a pendulum.

Suddenly.

“Ah…”

An exclamation rang out.

Clearly visible, a figure fell from the Luo Yun Tian Mu Chain.

The faller was a young woman, about the same age as Mu Ziling.

In the moment she fell, she completely lost control, unable to make any defensive moves in time.

Within two breaths.

Thud…

The woman landed heavily on the hard rocky ground.

The sound was muffled.

Falling to the ground, the woman didn’t get up for a long while, obviously having taken a serious fall.

If one looked carefully, it seemed that one of her legs had gone limp, likely broken from the fall.

Such a scene further intensified the atmosphere of fear.

Elder Yoo, however, was cold and merciless as Cold Iron, snorting indifferently, “Trash, a chain tens of kilometers long and fails to cross even a kilometer before falling down.

And that was not all; she even broke her own limbs.

Hmm, joining the reserve would be an insult to the reserve itself!”

The girl was scared, wronged, and in pain, but she dared not make a sound, nor did anyone dare to help her up.

She just trembled, propping herself up from the ground, almost crawling away from the area below the chain.

Staying there was too dangerous.

If someone else fell later, they might land on her.

Even if she had to crawl, she had to get away.

“Can we just forfeit directly?” Wan Jun whispered.

“We can’t.

I’ve asked around; forfeiting is a disgrace to the academy.

Even if you make it to the reserves later, you’ll be ostracized, ridiculed, and suppressed.

Besides, the academy’s Armory Pavilion, Elixir Pavilion, and the like would all be closed to you.

When buying Martial Cultivation Resources with academic credits, no one would sell to you.

In simple terms, once you forfeit, everyone in the entire Taixuan Academy, whether it’s instructors, students, or the Elders Council, would all want to force you to be unable to stay, to leave the academy on your own,” Zheng Bu whispered back, shaking his head as he spoke.

As Zheng Bu spoke, the faces of Wan Jun, Hou Li, and Mu Ziling all turned a shade paler.

“Ah, ah…” Just then, there were two more screams in succession.

Two more people fell from the Luo Yun Tian Mu Chain.

And more tragically, these two had already crossed to about the halfway mark.

Since the chain slanted upwards from below, the halfway point was naturally much higher in elevation, approximately five to six kilometers above the ground.
