Chapter 4170: The Battle God Palaces Master
This heavenly genius had not expected Long Chen to get right up next to him just to slap him.
Furthermore, Long Chen had laid a trap with his words. He was precisely waiting for this response.
The next moment, Long Chens slap sent him tumbling into the distance, leaving him dazed. As he struggled to regain his footing, he raised a trembling finger to point at Long Chen, intending to unleash a barrage of curses. However, before he could utter a single word, a sudden burst of blood sprayed from his mouth. He then felt the world spinning around him, and his eyes rolled back, causing him to collapse on the group.
You...! How despicable! This was a sneak attack! One of his friends hastily went to support him and shouted at Long Chen angrily.
Even without sneak attacks, none of you are my match. I cant be bothered to waste words with you. You think you’re a badass? Then why did you come to the High Firmament Academy? Who granted you the audacity to display such arrogance while seeking our knowledge? If you really were a badass, you wouldnt have come to our High Firmament Academy. Since youve come to learn, then you better cultivate some humility. If you can manage that, then you can stay. Otherwise, scram. Slapping you is a light punishment. If you really anger me, you wont get to live another day. Long Chen smiled coldly at those arrogant heavenly geniuses.
Those people had to be stupid. They had come here to learn but still had such an attitude? Were their brains replaced with crap?
Who are you?! Do you think the High Firmament Academy is your home?! shouted someone stubbornly.
Correct, this is our home. You dont like it? Even if you dont like it, you have to accept it. If you want to study in the High Firmament Academy, you have to take the attitude of a student and respect the rules here. Starting now, anyone who disobeys the academys rules will be kicked out. Mercy will not be given. If anyone from a certain faction breaks the academys rules, then they will all be kicked out, declared Long Chen. He then ignored these people and continued on with Bai Shishi.
These heavenly geniuses were all shaken, unable to imagine just what kind of status this black-robed fellow had to say such big words.
Walking alongside Bai Shishi, Long Chen eventually reached the core of the ruins. He saw quite a few disciples from other factions and not many from the actual academy.
What is going on? Has the High Firmament Academy been occupied by other factions? Long Chen couldnt help frowning.
Long Chen saw quite a few jealous gazes on the way, as well as quite a few provoking ones. He truly did want to kick them all out.
However, before understanding what was going on, he should endure for a bit. But his patience was wearing thin.
It doesnt count as occupied yet!
Just then, the kindly-looking Bai Letian appeared in front of Long Chen. Long Chen and Bai Shishi immediately bowed.
Bai Letian laughed and said, When the High Firmament Academy was founded, we had the support of various major powers. Like rolling a snowball, the academy grew stronger and stronger. Only then did it come to possess its vast sea of knowledge. So, it could be said that the High Firmament Academy belongs to the entire world, and we cant be selfish. Our hearts have to be a bit wider.
But these people are taking advantage of our kindness. Im not happy about it. Long Chen couldnt help but frown.
Youre not happy about it? Haha, I share your sentiment, but I must abide by our founders will. My authority is limited. However, you earned your position through merit rather than inheritance, so you aren’t bound by our ancestral traditions. Also, I’m not here for the Sage King Convention; I have a separate mission. Therefore, everything here is up to you, said Bai Letian with a smile.
Youre saying...? probed Long Chen.
Im not saying anything. Its all up to you. Bai Letian smiled profoundly.
Long Chens jaw dropped suddenly. He recalled that Bai Letian had the aura of an Immortal King, and the latter had even fought Enpudas clone like that. However, now he noticed that Bai Letian not only had the Immortal King’s aura but also the aura of a World King and a Heaven Venerate. Long Chen was utterly incapable of discerning Bai Letian’s true cultivation level. It was his first time encountering such a thing.
Seeming to grasp Long Chens thought, Bai Letian said, Sometimes, what you see in this world is only what other people want you to see. Your eyes might not see reality. This time, the Sage King Convention descended rather suddenly. Its a bit odd, so I had no choice but to personally take a trip. But now that youre here, I feel good about leaving. Everything here will be up to you.
Dean, you cant! I still have a great deal of affairs to deal with! Long Chen jumped in shock. Before the convention actually started, he still had a lot of work to do.
No problem. The Battle God Palaces master is overseeing this place personally, so the High Firmament Academy is in no danger. However, the palace master doesnt like to deal with politics and is only in charge of the safety here. He won’t meddle in other matters, so your main duty is to maintain order here. Feel free to pursue your own objectives! said Bai Letian.
But... Long Chen still didnt want this burden. He was very busy with the matter of the auction right now.
If he were to be here, he would be acting as a dean of the High Firmament Academy. Then it wouldnt be convenient for him to scam people.
No buts. Youngsters should follow their desires instead of becoming like us, always burdened by excessive caution and worry. If a youngster doesnt have a youngsters drive and daring, they wouldnt be called a youngster. Do what you want. Status and position are nonsensical constructs. Since I still have matters to deal with, Ill take my leave. Go greet the palace master. Bai Letian left and directly sent them off.
Long Chen and Bai Shishi could only leave. Looking at Long Chens bitter expression, Bai Shishi couldnt help but laugh.
What is it? Youre not the Long Chen I know. What happened to that fearlessness of yours?
Shishi, Im about to do something very bad. Im worried about damaging the academys reputation, said Long Chen finally.
Bai Shishi laughed. As if youve ever done anything good.
Long Chen was speechless. But thinking back, it truly did seem as if he had never done anything good in the presence of Bai Shishi.
Its fine. Whatever you do, Ill be with you. Whether you become a hero or a villain, Im not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Bai Shishi blushed slightly after saying that. It was embarrassing for her to disclose the words of her heart.
Hehe, is this the saying if you marry a chicken, you must follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, you must follow the dog? laughed Long Chen.
Who said that Id marry you?! Shameless! Bai Shishi snorted and turned away.
Cough...
Just as the two were talking and laughing, they heard some awkward coughing sound. Unbeknownst to them, three people had silently appeared before them.
One of them was Bai Shishis father, Bai Zhantang, while the second one was a large, muscular man. However, it was the person standing between them that caused Long Chen to startle.
Greetings, palace master!
Bai Shishi dragged Long Chen to bow toward this person together.
Palace master?
Long Chen was shaken. The palace master was actually an expert of the dragon race.
