Chapter 732 - 732 732 Something Happened

Chapter 732: Chapter 732 Something Happened Chapter 732: Chapter 732 Something Happened The student’s remark instantly cast a strange atmosphere over the hall.

The faces of Chi Huang and the four from Chaotic Gods had already turned somewhat chilly.

“Chongyun, stop being impolite!”

Shangguan Yunyun’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. She tilted her head and chided Chongyun in a low voice.

Although he was indeed a student of Holy Soul Academy, he should not look down on Dragon God Palace.

As the top academy of the Mainland, they should display the courtesy and conduct befitting of a prestigious institution.

After Shangguan Yunyun’s reprimand, Chongyun stopped speaking, but the pride on his face and the disdain in his eyes remained.

To Chi Huang and the rest, Chongyun’s derisive words were tantamount to insulting Feng Wuchen.

To insult them was one thing, but to insult Feng Wuchen was unacceptable.

Besides being the Hall Master of Dragon God Palace, Feng Wuchen was also considered their second parent, his status in their hearts, unsurpassable by anyone.

Furthermore, Feng Wuchen, as the Alliance Hierarch of Dragon God Alliance, commanded immense respect from Lin Moyang and others. How could they stand by as Chongyun insulted Feng Wuchen right before them?

“I’m truly sorry, Chongyun can be blunt. I hope you will not take offense,” Shangguan Yunyun swiftly apologized, displaying none of the airs one might expect from a Holy Soul Academy instructor.

Had it been anyone else, not only might they have refused to apologize, but they possibly would have shown even greater disdain than the student.

Chi Huang fixed his gaze on Chongyun and said sternly, “One can eat indiscriminately, but words must not be carelessly spoken. As a student of Holy Soul Academy, you ought to know respect. Don’t shame the academy. In consideration for Instructor Shangguan, I won’t hold this against you.”

Even with the prestige of Holy Soul Academy, Chi Huang harbored no fear, his tone very assertive.

Had it not been for Shangguan Yunyu’s prior apology, Chi Huang and the others would not have been so lenient with Chongyun.

But upon hearing Chi Huang’s words, a towering rage surged in Chongyun’s heart, his fists clenched tightly, yet he dared not lash out in front of Shangguan Yunyun.

Another student beside Chongyun also tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to act rashly.

After all, Chi Huang was at the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, mighty and strong. Chongyun at merely the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm was no match for Chi Huang.

Chi Huang did not take offense, which caused Lin Moyang and the others to heave a sigh of relief. After all, it was Holy Soul Academy.

Chi Huang was not one to act rashly. Having heard of the might of the Holy Soul Academy, even without visiting, he acknowledged it as one of the Mainland’s heavyweights.

Thus, for matters not too serious, Chi Huang wouldn’t make too much fuss, especially since Shangguan Yunyun had already apologized. He had no reason to press the matter further. Surely he couldn’t disrespect Shangguan Yunyun, could he?

“Dragon God Palace seems to be more complicated than I thought,” Shangguan Yunyun silently speculated. Everyone knew of Holy Soul Academy’s might, didn’t they?

But seeing how assertive Chi Huang was, seemingly unafraid of Holy Soul Academy, it only made her more curious.

Just then, Nie Fengyun had obtained the medicinal ingredients and handed a Storage Ring to Chi Huang.

“Instructor Shangguan, my apologies for the disturbance. Please continue. Pavilion Master Lin, I take my leave,” said Chi Huang lightly.

“Kid, let’s go,” Huanyang said with a smile, pulling the talented young man away. He gave Chongyun an extra glance before departing.

Huanyang smiled and said, “Strive hard in your cultivation, with your talent, you won’t lose to them.”

The “them” Huanyang referred to were naturally the students of Holy Soul Academy.

As they were leaving, he glanced at those students and said with a smile, “If you can’t get into Holy Soul Academy, feel free to join Dragon God Palace. I’ll wait for you outside.”

“Damn it! You just wait and see!” Chongyun was seething with rage inside, but could only suppress it, the frustration driving him crazy.

“Don’t act rashly. This is the Wuji Domain, Xingjie City, the territory of Immortal Tool Pavilion,” a student communicated in hushed tones.

Shangguan Yunyun seemed to perceive Chongyun’s anger. With a turn of her beautiful eyes, she flashed a glance that sent a chill through Chongyun’s heart, causing his rage to instantly dissipate.

As the recruitment continued, among the more than a hundred talents, the majority did not meet the requirements. Either they reached the Seventh-Grade Martial Soul and could not attain the Eightfold Tianyuan Realm, or their cultivation reached the Eightfold Tianyuan Realm, but they lacked the talent of a Seventh-Grade Martial Soul.

“Mo Qingyun, a Seventh-Grade Martial Soul talent and a cultivation at the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, not bad, we finally have a qualified one,” Shangguan Yunyun’s stunning face finally revealed a charming smile.

“Thank you, Instructor Shangguan!” Mo Qingyun immediately became excited.

“As I expected from Young Master Mo, I knew he would definitely make it into the Holy Soul Academy!”

The other talents who had come along were filled with envy and jealousy.

“You, at the Fourth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, are also registering? And you, without the Eightfold Tianyuan Realm, need not apply!” At this moment, Chongyun berated a talent, clearly still unable to dissipate his earlier anger.

“I… I am a Fourth Rank Inscription Master!”

“I… I’m also a Fourth Rank Alchemist!”

“I’m also Third Rank…”

Those whose cultivation did not reach the Eightfold Tianyuan Realm hurriedly declared their identities, fearing they’d miss their chance.

“Fourth Rank…” Chongyun and the others were momentarily stunned.

For the recruitment of the Holy Soul Academy, special professions were required to reach at least Third Rank; the academy placed great importance on these special professions.

Being able to reach the Third Rank at a young age was already very remarkable.

As time went by and all the talents had been tested, out of twelve spots, only eight could successfully enter the Holy Soul Academy; all others were disqualified.

The cruel reality and stringent requirements left many talents deeply disappointed.

“It seems we’ll have to go to the Dragon God Palace.”

“The Dragon God Palace is good too, although I would have preferred the Holy Soul Academy. It’s a pity we weren’t destined for it.”

“Just as well I wasn’t selected. The Dragon God Palace is even better! I’ve made up my mind; I’m going to the Dragon God Palace!”

The unsuccessful talents murmured among themselves.

With twelve spots but only eight recruited, Shangguan Yunyu couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed.

“The academy may have to lower the requirements. The peak of the Seventh Level Tianyuan Realm should be enough,” Shangguan Yunyu muttered to herself, feeling some regret for the talent misguidedly taken away earlier.

“Instructor Shangguan! There’s been an incident!” Just as the recruitment had ended, a student rushed in hastily.

“What happened?” Shangguan Yunyun frowned and asked. She stood up quickly, and her beautiful face immediately turned stern as she scolded, “Is it trouble you’ve caused again?”

At these words, the student looked evasive and then said, “Instructor, you better go over there and see for yourself. Zhang Chu has been injured! If we don’t hurry, it’ll turn into a major incident!”

“Zhang Chu has been injured?” The expressions of a few students changed abruptly.

“How preposterous! Who would dare to be so bold as to injure a student of the Holy Soul Academy!” Chongyun immediately flew into a rage.

“Where is he? Take me there quickly,” Shangguan Yunyu urged hastily.

“Not far outside Xingjie City!” The student promptly said, leading Shangguan Yunyu and the others there without delay.

Lin Moyang and the three elders exchanged glances and then followed along.

To dare to injure a student from the Holy Soul Academy—how audacious must this person be?
