Chapter 2991 - 2994: Tai Yuan’s Decision
"Amazing, so powerful!"
"Incredibly powerful! How can Jiang Chen’s domain be so strong?!"
"The combat strength of the others is also impressive! Are these the recruits selected by the Void Nether Academy?"
"Exactly! Damn, these are just recruits, what kind of power would the official students possess?!"
Outside the Martial Arts Arena, the members of the Changling Academy looked at the situation in the arena with utter shock, thinking about the official students of the Void Nether Academy, and couldn’t help but look up to the sky.
Those powerful warriors battling in the void between realms—when will they determine a victor?
Whoosh!
Just as everyone looked up, a space fissure appeared in the sky.
Swish, swish, swish!
Thud, thud!
Over twenty figures plummeted out of the space fissure.
The members of Changling Academy froze for a moment, then focused their gazes, their expressions changing dramatically, and felt a fierce shock in their hearts.
The ones falling were all Saint Monarch experts from the Five Academies, each with pallid complexions, covered in blood; several were missing limbs, and even those physically intact had cracked bodies, with their Great Dao Aura and Primordial Spirit Aura dissipating—a state near death.
Swish, swish!
Qiu Wenqing and another flew out of the fissure, landing beside Zhao Buzu.
"Greetings, Great Elder!"
As soon as they landed, Qiu Wenqing and his companion saw the Flame Emperor hovering in mid-air and bowed in respect!
"No need for formalities!"
The Flame Emperor waved his hand, glanced at Jiang Chen and the others, then turned to Zhao Buzu: "Third brother, does he need a challenge?"
"He does!"
Zhao Buzu cast a glance at Jiang Chen, chuckling: "The Holy Lands of those powers can still be of significant help to him!"
The Flame Emperor was briefly stunned, chuckled lightly, and shook his head, then looked deeply into Changling Academy, speaking quietly: "The decision’s been made?"
"It has! The Academy Alliance has lost the original intention it had at the start of its founding, and no longer needs to exist!"
Zhao Buzu nodded, turning his gaze to the edge of the Martial Arts Arena where Tai Yuan stood.
Tai Yuan was momentarily surprised, his figure flashing as he leaped in front of Zhao Buzu, clasping his fists and bowing: "Master."
"Back when Second Sister founded Changling Academy, the essence was to make it a subsidiary of Changlin Academy. Now the Academy Alliance has disbanded. I want Changling Academy to merge into Changlin Academy, thanks to the bright star Jiang Chen, so you can have greater opportunities to enter the Battlefield Realm. What do you think?"
Zhao Buzu spoke softly.
Tai Yuan’s eyes subtly changed, taking a glance at the crowd from Changling Academy, pondering briefly, then soaring upwards: "Elders, students, with the disbandment of the Academy Alliance, Changling Academy standing alone is bound to be targeted. Now, I propose merging into Changlin Academy to avoid being isolated, rejected, or even targeted by the Five Academies. Are you all willing?"
Without waiting for everyone to respond, Tai Yuan continued: "Should you choose otherwise for the safety of everyone, Changling Academy will have to disband; those willing to merge into Changlin Academy may stay behind, and I’ll discuss with Jiang Chen when he awakens."
"Principal, is there no other choice?"
One Changling Academy elder showed a trace of forlorn in his eyes.
All the elders and students showed varied reactions in their expressions.
"Perhaps you all don’t know this?"
Tai Yuan smiled slightly: "Changling Academy was initially founded to become a subsidiary of Changlin Academy. Later, the Extraterritorial Battlefield was discovered, and all strong warriors of Changlin Academy went to fight there, originally thinking it wouldn’t last long, yet unexpectedly, it lasted a hundred thousand years, leading to Changlin Academy’s decline.
And I was actually from Changlin Academy, waiting for Changling Academy’s system to mature enough to merge it as a subsidiary of Changlin Academy."
"What?!"
"The Principal is from Changlin Academy?"
"Our academy exists merely to become Changlin Academy’s subsidiary?!"
"This..."
Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with astonishment looking at Tai Yuan.
"Everyone can make their own choice; if unwilling to enter Changlin Academy, you may leave. Honestly, our joining Changlin Academy now doesn’t necessarily mean they’d accept us.
Let’s not forget, Changlin Academy is now a super force on the Canglan Continent, the sole academy of the Battlefield Realm, and the strongest force other than the Realm Lord in the Battlefield Realm. Many powers from the Five Continents wish to join but can’t; let’s not regard them as the initial startup academy anymore!"
Tai Yuan admonished loudly.
Everyone froze momentarily, suddenly understanding.
Right! Changlin Academy isn’t the same as before!
They hadn’t transitioned their impression of it yet, but hearing this, they must reevaluate Changlin Academy.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the sky trembled with a scarlet hue, a phantom figure appeared in the sky.
"No!"
Panic-stricken shouts echoed through the heavens, everyone looked up, their expressions changing.
Supreme falls, phenomenon appears!
The phantom figure now appearing in the sky is Zhu Qian, Principal of Canghai Academy!
Tai Yuan’s heart trembled slightly, glancing at Jiang Chen, then at Zhao Buzu, thinking they didn’t spare him, did they? It seems the Master won’t allow any danger to come to Jiang Chen, not even a hint!
"Principal!"
"Principal!"
The Saint Monarchs, Saints, and those Integration Realm cultivators of Canghai Academy cried out desperately, seeing the shattered phantom in the sky, eyes filled with terror.
The members of Changling Academy stood in fright.
Crashed?! The Principal of one of the Six Great Academies, Canghai Academy, actually crashed?!
At this moment, all forces on the Canglan Continent were shaking with queries about what happened, what led to the Supreme falling!
Jiang Chen, during his healing, opened his eyes, glanced at the sky, showing a complicated expression.
He felt Zhu Qian’s targeting, but didn’t foresee Zhao Buzu would have someone directly eliminate Zhu Qian for this matter.
Those Void Nether Academy Supreme Experts must’ve been warned by Zhao Buzu beforehand, otherwise, they wouldn’t rashly kill an academy principal from the Six Great Academies.
Whoosh!
Not long after Zhu Qian fell, a space fissure appeared in the sky, Fu Zhujiang and others fell out, each with a pale face, aura in disarray, blood flowing uncontrollably, eyes still showing a deep fear.
Liu Changfeng and another then leapt out, their faces slightly pale, but without obvious injuries.
"This..."
"Are they all that strong?"
Everyone was dumbfounded; Supreme Realm, Saint Monarch Realm, Saint Realm, Integration Realm Peak, battles across four realms, the Five Academies completely defeated!
"Daoyuan’s location, reclaim Void Nether Academy, the people of Five Academies must leave immediately!"
Zhao Buzu commanded coldly.
Fu Zhujiang and the others’ expressions changed, checked Zhao Buzu, dared not utter a word, carried everyone from Five Academies, flew upwards, departing from Changling Academy.
