Chapter 2767 - 2770: You Are Anxious Too, Aren’t You?
"Independent now? That’s good!"
Jian Potian wasn’t too surprised; when he became the dean, Changlin Academy was already in the Mingqian Realm.
"Kid, not telling the full story?"
A light chuckle echoed, and a figure appeared in the tent.
Several people were startled and immediately clasped their fists in salute.
"Greetings, Commander!"
"Greetings, Fourth Prince!"
Si Wenhao glared at Jiang Chen: "Call him Commander in the camp."
"Understood!"
Jiang Chen responded with a soft laugh.
"You two should properly thank Jiang Chen; without him, Changlin Academy would have disappeared twice!"
Si Wenhao turned to Jian Potian and the others, speaking softly, with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"What? What do you mean?"
Jian Potian and Chen Gang exclaimed in surprise, nervously looking at Si Wenhao.
"Both incidents happened too abruptly. Changling Academy and Canglan City were organizing personnel for the Extraterritorial Battlefield and were unable to assist quickly. Luckily, Jiang Chen was there."
Si Wenhao first explained why no one aided Changlin Academy at the time and then described the two tribulations Changlin Academy faced.
"Jiang Chen! Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
Jian Potian and the others, after hearing it all, became solemn and bowed deeply to Jiang Chen.
"No need for that, you two; I’m a student of the academy, it’s what I should do!"
Jiang Chen quickly returned the bow.
"You have many others to thank as well!"
Si Wenhao gently smiled: "This kid truly regards Changlin Academy as his home. He’s usually gentle and amicable, but if anyone provokes or insults Changlin Academy, he’ll fight to the death.
In the royal city, when someone made threats against Changlin Academy, this kid fought a deathmatch, single-handedly taking on a mid-stage and late Virtual Refinement Realm cultivator in a duel and killed them right on the death stage in the royal city.
Those two were heirs to Marquises’ Mansions; this kid is indeed fierce!"
Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
"What? That strong?!"
"One against two heirs of Marquises? And surpassing their realms to kill?"
"Well done, daring to humiliate the academy - they deserved it! Such prowess, truly worthy of our Changlin Academy student!"
Mu Youlan and the others exclaimed in surprise.
Jian Potian and Chen Gang felt incredibly excited, more joyous than if they had surpassed realms to kill opponents themselves.
"Don’t rush to praise, there’s more..."
Si Wenhao recounted all the efforts Jiang Chen made gathering resources, cultivation techniques, and striving for honors for Changlin Academy.
Mu Youlan was stunned, stared blankly at Jiang Chen, not expecting that this Divine Infant Realm cultivator accomplished so much!
Jian Potian and Chen Gang fell silent, gazing at Jiang Chen deeply, feeling guilty, Jian Potian said: "Jiang Chen, the academy owes you! With your talent, the academy..."
"Old Dean, the academy doesn’t owe me anything, without the academy, without the master and teachers, there wouldn’t be me now!"
Jiang Chen smiled to reassure Jian Potian, then looked strangely at Si Wenhao: "Fi... Commander, why are you saying this?"
"If I don’t tell them everything you did, will they be willing to deploy elite forces for you?"
Si Wenhao softly laughed.
"Deploy elite forces?"
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, puzzled, looking at Si Wenhao.
"Yes, deploy elite forces!"
Si Wenhao nodded gently, stated solemnly: "Jiang Chen, after you break through to the Virtual Refinement Realm, can the Primordial Spirit be condensed?"
"It should be possible!"
Jiang Chen lightly nodded.
"Condensing the Primordial Spirit? Isn’t that only possible at the Unity Realm Stage?"
Mu Youlan and the others, surprised, looked at Jiang Chen.
"Don’t doubt this kid’s talent; if he weren’t aiming for perfect Great Dao Wheel of Light refinement, he could have condensed the Dao Seed when breaking through to the Virtual Refinement Realm!"
Si Wenhao laughed softly: "Oh right, this kid is the Son of Heavenly Dao, having condensed multiple Great Dao Wheels of Light."
"Son of Heavenly Dao!?"
"Condensed multiple Great Dao Wheels of Light Son of Heavenly Dao!?"
Mu Youlan and the others were stunned, looking at Jiang Chen dumbfounded, eyes full of extreme shock.
"Surprised already? He’s also the first in this Alchemy Dao competition, making a Seventh Grade Dao Nature Elixir, being the first pill master on Canglan Continent to create a Ninth Grade Dao Nature Elixir, and he’s the top in formation competition, able to condense over a thousand Spiritual Seals now!"
Si Wenhao appreciated their expressions, continually revealing Jiang Chen’s achievements: "Oh, he even single-handedly slew a half-Saint expert, suppressing realm to Divine Infant Realm Peak; that was nearly a year ago; now his power might have reached ordinary Virtual Refinement Realm Peak cultivator’s level!"
Jian Potian and Chen Gang’s mouths gaped open, eyes wide, nearly popped out, frozen, dumbly staring at Jiang Chen.
Mu Youlan paused, soon reacted, pulled Jiang Chen protectively behind her, cautiously eyed Jian Potian and the others, a longsword appeared in her hand, staring at Si Wenhao: "Commander, you agreed for Jiang Chen to join my legion; you can’t go back; whoever tries to take him, I’ll fight them!"
"Wait, Youlan, he..."
Jian Potian realized, hurried to persuade.
Whoosh!
Mu Youlan was enveloped in fierce flames, Fire Phoenix reappeared, stared aggressively at Jian Potian, spiritual power fully activated, a rounded flame glow brightened her brow, Dao Seed emerged, nearly ready to fight desperately.
Jiang Chen found it amusing how Mu Youlan suddenly turned into a protective hen, patting Mu Youlan’s shoulder: "Commander Mu, don’t worry, no one can take me away. Since I promised to join your legion, I won’t go back on my word."
"Your promise is one thing, their snatching is another!"
Mu Youlan replied, not looking back, staring at Jian Potian.
"Little Youlan, aren’t you disregarding me too much?"
Si Wenhao glared at Mu Youlan, solemnly spoke.
"No, Commander, I..."
Mu Youlan’s face changed, somewhat anxious, yet under Si Wenhao’s compelling gaze, she still sheathed her longsword and flame path but held Jiang Chen’s arm, ready to run.
"This girl..."
Si Wenhao speechlessly glared at Mu Youlan, stopped paying attention to her, turned to Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, can you currently master any battle array?"
"Right now? Can’t master even one!"
Jiang Chen lightly shook his head.
"Huh?"
Si Wenhao and the others all froze, surprisedly gazing at Jiang Chen.
"I haven’t condensed any Battle Formation Spirit Seal yet. I plan to condense them after breaking through to the Virtual Refinement Realm, you all... are rushing too early?"
Jiang Chen helplessly explained.
Everyone paused, realizing they argued for long enough, and he hadn’t even condensed the Battle Formation Spirit Seal yet!
