Chapter 491: Chapter 485: Relying on His Strength (4 more updates)

Lan Su didn’t utter a word, knowing that anything she said would be useless, as no one would believe her.

Only Brother Su could prove it with facts.

Without realizing it, Lan Su clenched her fists tightly, thinking to herself: Brother Su, you must work hard, you must let those who look down on you know they were wrong.

"Okay, Qiu Shui, don’t be angry," Meng Ding also spoke, comforting Gu Qiushui. "Lan Su is too naive and easily deceived, but this is Holy Spirit Academy. Not only us, but even the examiners won’t stand idly by. Isn’t it time to let the horses and donkeys show their paces? Seeking applause with the choice of the Ancestral Stone for assessment, heh..."

Gu Qiushui took a deep breath, nodded, and kept silent. As Meng Ding had said, that person was about to be exposed soon anyway.

At that same second, Su Chen raised his head and looked at Zuo Linfeng and the other two, asking, "Seniors, does the academy have a rule that those in the Hollow Void Realm First Transformation cannot participate in the assessment?"

This... The three of them fell silent. After a moment, Ding Shengshan said, "There’s no such rule, but in the over ten-thousand-year history of Holy Spirit Academy, no student below the Divine Power Realm has taken the assessment. You’re not only below Divine Power Realm, but you are merely at the Hollow Void Realm First Transformation."

"Since the academy has no such rule, then I would like to give it a try!" Su Chen said resolutely. "Perhaps, I can become the first."

"Hmph!" Jiang Haijian huffed, feeling that Su Chen didn’t know what was good for him. It was already a waste of time, not to mention embarrassing for himself, and he might even get injured. They were kindly offering advice, but it wasn’t being appreciated.

"In that case," Ding Shengshan said, looking deeply at Su Chen, "sit cross-legged on the meditation cushion in Array Space Number One!"

Su Chen nodded and walked towards Array Space Number One.

He entered.

Su Chen sat down cross-legged.

Then, he saw Ding Shengshan and the other two each take out a grey-white object, about a foot long, gleaming with a divine charm and covered with patterns, resembling a key.

The three also walked to the side of Array Space Number One, each occupying a different position.

They then raised their keys.

In an instant.

Brilliance erupted!!!

Array Space Number One actually began to spin.

And as it spun, Array Space Number One was like a door slowly opening.

An area of about ten meters in radius appeared, shaped like a round disk, bloody in color.

In the middle, there was a meditation cushion, with Su Chen sitting on it.

In front of the meditation cushion, however, was a stone.

That stone was not big, about three meters in length and two meters in width, ashen grey in color, and looked quite ordinary.

As soon as the stone appeared, a significant number of the surrounding students who had had the fortune to see this stone once or twice before all changed their expressions drastically, as if recalling the very terrifying sights they had witnessed.

However, it was still fine for now because the examiners had not yet put away their keys, and the Ancestral Stone had not begun to emit its aura—it was just the preparation stage.

But, obviously, what was to come next would be soon. The examiners would put away their keys, and the real assessment was about to commence.

Meng Ding said gravely: "The aura of the Ancestral Stone can crush a person to death! Three years ago, there was a very famous prodigy, arrogant and prideful, who insisted on challenging the Ancestral Stone! I remember very clearly, he lasted only thirty breaths, then the aura of the Ancestral Stone crushed him until he spat out ten mouthfuls of blood! All the bones in his body were crushed, and even his Dantian was shattered!"

After Meng Ding finished speaking, Gu Qiushui’s complexion subtly shifted with a tremble.

Gu Qiushui had joined the academy not quite two years ago and hadn’t witnessed someone challenge the Ancestral Stone himself, but from what Meng Ding described, he could imagine what kind of scene that was.

Lan Su also grew more nervous; she had heard many rumors about the Ancestral Stone, and her clenched fists tightened even more.

"Su Chen!!! Go for it!" Just then, when the students were all discussing the Ancestral Stone with horror and awe, an incredibly unbelievable voice rang out, filled with encouragement and excitement.

In an instant.

All the students instinctively turned towards the source of the voice, their faces showing strange expressions.

Lan Su also looked over.

It was An Wuchao.

An Wuchao, holding a metal hammer in one hand, stared at the distant Su Chen with eyes as large as a bull’s, shouting loudly.

He, too, had heard the sound of the Ancient Bell and had hurried over.

However, he had just arrived.

Unexpectedly, it was Su Chen.

An Wuchao was thrilled to pieces, Su Chen hadn’t died!!! He actually hadn’t died!

"Shut up, you’re disturbing this young master! Hmph! Are you also seeking attention?" A cold voice sounded beside An Wuchao.

The owner of that voice was a young master, handsome yet with an air of arrogance and aloofness. He frowned, disdainfully glancing at An Wuchao.

In his view, both An Wuchao and Su Chen were attention seekers.

An Wuchao looked toward the speaker.

His expression slightly changed.

It was Zhong Li.

Zhong Li from the Qian Long Institute advanced class.

Zhong Li and Meng Ding were in the same class, and he was also a presence in the Divine Power Realm Seventh Layer, a notch above Meng Ding — Meng Ding was no match for him.

All the students present to watch were from the Qian Long Institute; those from the Dragon Court, Ascending Dragon, and True Dragon courts would not deign to watch, as it was unrelated to them.

And Zhong Li was clearly one of the most powerful individuals among those who had come to watch.

The many students who saw Zhong Li were slightly flickering, filled with wariness and reverence.

"What are you looking at?! Dissatisfied?" In the same second, to everyone’s surprise, Zhong Li suddenly shouted, and without warning, took action. After being chastised by him, An Wuchao hadn’t actually said or done anything. He was about to just swallow his anger, but his gaze hadn’t been respectful; he’d glanced at Zhong Li.

It was that one look that caused trouble.

Swish!

Like thunder and lightning gone wild, blue light flickered on Zhong Li’s body, rapidly converging in a flash, and he was face to face with An Wuchao in the blink of an eye.

In Zhong Li’s hand, a metal fan suddenly appeared, its strange appearance enough to send shivers down one’s spine. It swept through the air in an instant.

Hiss...

Before An Wuchao could react, the fan had already violently grazed across his face.

An Wuchao stumbled backwards, a fan mark on his right cheek along with fresh blood.

"What are you doing?" Lan Su was shocked and furious, instinctively surging forward, ready to strike.

Unexpectedly, An Wuchao was the first to notice and, without concern for the wound and blood on his own face, quickly walked over to Lan Su, blocking her.

"Lan Su, don’t be rash," An Wuchao gritted his teeth and said.

"You!!!" Lan Su was dissatisfied, "On what grounds did he strike?"

"Because he’s strong!" Could An Wuchao not be angry? How humiliated must he feel inside? In front of so many people, he had been slapped until his face bled, without having done anything wrong.

But still, he had to endure it.

Otherwise, An Wuchao wouldn’t last three days and might die in the academy, with no one to intervene.

Including Holy Spirit Academy, none of the institutions across the entire Divine Wind Continent prohibited fighting and killing.

Fighting and killing were simply part of life on the Divine Wind Continent.

Of course, while the academies allowed internal battles, they did not permit external forces to bully or kill their students.

An Wuchao, of course, had to stop Lan Su, because if she acted rashly and confronted Zhong Li, she would certainly be no match for him, not even close.

Not far away, Zhong Li sneered, a cruel sneer, showing complete disdain for the two little ants.

The next second.

Gu Qiushui quickly rushed over and also said, "Lan Su, don’t be rash!"

Her eyes were serious, and as she spoke, she looked up at Zhong Li, "Zhong Li, the examiners are still here, you’d better restrain yourself! You’re from the advanced class, bullying a student from our intermediate class, is that fun for you?"
