Chapter 435: He Must Be a Senior From My Academy!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the high seat, Chang Zizai felt somewhat disappointed when he noticed that Jiang Hao hadnât arrived.
He always felt like there was something more to discover with him. It might not be significant to others, but it was crucial to him.
One sentence from him had made their morning readings better. Such a person happened to be a senior at that.
Otherwise, there were many ways to get him to join the academy.
âChang Zizai, are your people still competing in movement techniques?â asked Qingshan.
âProbably not. I heard they were badly defeated, and going there would just result in ridicule. Everyone would say scholars should go back to their books,â Chang Zizai said helplessly. Then, he looked curious. âWhy are you suddenly asking about this?â
âSome of our sectâs people also competed, and some elders asked me to keep an eye on a disciple. Unexpectedly, he went to compete in movement technique. It seems he finds that interesting,â Qingshan said in annoyance. âIt is said that one disciple only studied for less than two years and then escaped from the sect, and heâs still missing. I remember he told his master that he wanted to play hide and seek, and then they couldnât find him. Iâm a bit worried that the same thing might happen this time.â
âWhy would disciples of Clear Sky School escape?â Chang Zizai couldnât understand.
Qingshan had no idea what those people were thinking.
At this moment, they looked at the area where the movement technique competition was taking place.
Sure enough, they saw a man with extraordinary bearing and an air of ease about him.
Chang Zizai was stunned for a moment. âWhy are there people from the academy?
His gaze fell on a woman. She was also a scholar who sought knowledge and enlightenment.
He was surprised. Then, he saw the others around her, which shocked him even more.
âIsnât that Disciple Jiang?â Qingshan stared at him.
He was still using his cultivation realm at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Why was that senior here?
Was a movement technique competition really that interesting?
They paid attention to the competition.
Meanwhile, Hua Han came to serve tea once again.
When she saw the seniors watching the competition so seriously, she looked in that direction.
âHuh?â She saw Jiang Hao and stopped to watch.
âWho do you think will win?â The seniors discussed. Jiang Haoâs participation had made the competition more interesting.
âOf course, that disciple. After all, we canât lower ourselves to bullying children,â someone said helplessly.
âItâs hard to say. Movement techniques donât necessarily depend on high cultivation. Many people specialize in agility, like Light and Dust from the Astronomical Academy. Thatâs why they were the weakest and the slowest,â said a man carrying a sword.
Chang Zizai was speechless.
He had been ridiculed so many times because of the worthless disciples.
âIf this Disciple Jiang loses, wonât he be embarrassed? Even if he wins, itâs nothing special,â said a woman.
Hua Han didnât speak. In theory, that was correct, but it depended on how this senior would win.
âI donât know about the others, but Iâm sure Light and Dust Technique will fall behind.â
âLight and Dust Technique is famous, so he wonât be the last.â Chang Zizaiâs face changed, but he couldnât refute them.
He had to stop those old men from making fun of the Light and Dust technique. It had become a constant joke now.
At this moment, Jiang Hao looked ahead. He was ready to start.
Suddenly, a spell bound them, and then the spell dissipated.
In an instant, everyone rushed. Jiang Hao didnât fall behind.
However, he didnât rush to exert himself but instead followed the others with the same calm and ease as Light and Dust taught him.
But what surprised him was that a woman next to him used a spell somewhat similar to his.
âLight and Dust from the Astronomical Academy?â Jiang Hao guessed.
The woman also looked at Jiang Hao with some astonishment. She felt that the Light and Dust Technique he used was somewhat similar and yet different. She couldnât describe it.
At this moment, Jiang Hao looked at a young man on the right. He had a smile on his face, and his aura displayed a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation. Yet, he seemed as free as the wind. He seemed unbound and unrestricted.
âPretty impressive!
It seemed that agility was also related to oneâs state of mind.
âYou guys are a bit slow. Iâll leave you behind,â he said, then quickly moved ahead.
The remaining people were struggling to catch up.
Jiang Hao smiled and suddenly felt that this was getting interesting.
No matter who his opponent was, it didnât affect his inner peace.
His steps were steady and balanced, and his aura was restrained.
The scholars from the Astronomical Academy felt somewhat helpless. They thought this time they could earn otherâs respect.
The woman from before wanted to greet her fellow disciple nearby and let him continue, but when she looked at the person next to her, she was stunned.
There was a faint light on him as if merging with sunlight yet appearing as tiny as dust.
In the next moment, he disappeared, and then it seemed like he reappeared around them.
Under the sunlight, he seemed to be everywhere and nowhere.
âIs that really the Light and Dust?
For a moment, she was rooted to the spot. She forgot to even compete.
Her gaze was locked on Jiang Hao. In just a few blinks, he had already reached the front.
He stood on the same line as the leading two.
At the high seat, the powerful seniors were stunned when they saw Jiang Hao use the Light and Dust Technique. Some felt that he was intentionally trying to lose. It was even more humiliating for the Astronomical Academy.
But when Jiang Haoâs figure was covered by the light and seemed to be everywhere, they were all stunned, especially Chang Zizai.
He looked at Jiang Hao with excitement without saying a word. He knew what technique that was.
Light and Dust Technique. The real deal.
âI understand now,â Chang Zizai said excitedly. âThis senior might be an elder from our academy. He recently returned from seclusion, comprehended the Light and Dust Technique, and encouraged us to continue our morning readings. He must be from our academy. Who else would use that technique? Maybe he saw that our academy was being insulted by all of you, so he personally chose to compete to let you all witness the glory of the Light and
Dust Technique.â
Everyone felt that it made sense.
âDonât praise yourselves too much. Itâs obvious that this senior has comprehended the Light and Dust Technique and is kindly demonstrating it to your academy, which is in such a sorry state,â Qingshan said.
âItâs definitely our academyâs senior! â Chang Zizai insisted.
At this moment, Jiang Hao was still chasing behind someone.
He observed the man whose blood was burning strangely.
The man exuded a hostile aura as if he wanted to surpass the Golden Core Realm cultivator ahead of him.
That wasnât easy. Jiang Hao could clearly feel that the Golden Core Realm cultivatorâs movement technique was flawless.
âYour movement technique makes me feel like Iâve seen it somewhere before, yet it also feels unfamiliar. But it doesnât matter,â the young man from the Clear Sky School said as he moved on.
Jiang Hao paid no attention to him and continued to observe the man with the blood aura.
The man noticed someone overtaking him and his gaze turned hostile.
âSomethingâs strange.â
Jiang Hao used his Daily Appraisal ability.
