Chapter 142 - If Ye Ping Is My Disciple, I’ll Lead The Academy To The Moon!



Chapter 142: If Ye Ping Is My Disciple, I’ll Lead The Academy To The Moon!

In the main hall of the Jin Nation Academy.

All the elders were dumbfounded, Li Mocheng in particular.

‘I just said that there has never been a single genius in the Jin Nation Academy ever since its establishment decades ago. Yet, there’s one now? Are we that lucky?’

“Elder Sun, what do you mean? Can you make yourself clearer?”

“He condensed the Blood and Qi Furnace even though he’s only in his twenties? Were your eyes playing tricks on you?”

“He defeated all the third generation and fourth generation disciples alone? Really?”

“Elder Sun, liars are to be punished, you know about that, right?”

After the elders came back to their senses, people began to speak up.

They were a little dumbfounded.

“What else can it mean? A demon has come to the Jin Nation Academy. I was preaching to the third generation disciples previously.”

“Yet, someone suddenly appeared and said that a newly matriculated disciple has defeated all the fourth generation disciples in one go and the third generation disciples were called to provide aid.”

“I was surprised when I heard it, and the third generation disciples who were listening to my lecture all scurried over. I decided to follow them too.”

“Do you guys know what I saw?”

“Ye Ping is just like a Fiendcelestial who managed to defeat more than ten third generation disciples with a single punch, and his Blood and Qi Furnace is really powerful.”

“I took a look at Ye Ping with the Qi-watching technique, do you know what I saw?”

Elder Sun was extremely agitated and his words made the hearts of the other elders pound rapidly, especially Li Mocheng who was full of expectations.

“What did you see? Quickly tell us!”

“Yes, hurry up and tell us. Don’t keep us in suspense.”

“Stop arguing, let Elder Sun speak slowly.”

The elders were so anxious that they wanted Elder Sun to finish up quickly. Amidst the commotion, Li Mocheng couldn’t help but roar loudly and tell everyone to quieten down instead of interrupting Elder Sun.

Elder Sun swallowed saliva again.

“I saw a dragon!”

“This new disciple Ye Ping has the power of the True Dragon. His Dharmic powers, Qi, blood, and vitality formed a Dragon of Luck.”

“Academy Master, Senior Brothers, and Junior Brothers, I have been practicing the Qi-watching technique for 350 years, but I have never seen a Dragon of Luck before.”

“Do you guys know what that means?”

“It is written in the ancient books that when one’s physical body is perfected, it can be transformed into a furnace. When one’s Dharmic powers are perfected, they can be turned into the four seas. When one’s vitality is perfected, it can be transformed into a dragon form, when the Qi is supreme and one’s life is like a True Dragon, the Dragon of Luck can be formed.”

“This Dragon of Luck signifies that the Dharmic powers, physical body, vitality, and luck are all perfected. Only then can it be condensed. He’s a true demon, I’ve never heard of this all my life.”

“The Jin Nation Academy has really produced an elite this time.”

When he said the last sentence, Elder Sun was even more excited, so much that his Qi and blood were surging and his heart was pounding rapidly.

He mainly cultivated the Qi-watching technique and could rely on the Qi-watching technique to observe each and every person accurately. In fact, they could even see a person’s luck using it.

A Qi-watcher had an esteemed and prestigious status among the sects and academies as they had a pair of wise eyes that no genius could escape.

Hence, the crowd believed every word that Elder Sun said.

However, they did not understand it very well.

“Elder Sun, just tell us, how strong is this Ye Ping? In a way that we can understand.”

Li Mocheng spoke up. He didn’t really understand either and just felt that Ye Ping was very powerful, though he didn’t know how powerful exactly.

As Li Mocheng said that, the other elders felt the same. They couldn’t help but all look at Elder Sun.

The latter pondered for a while.

Immediately afterwards, his expression became extremely stern.

“Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, it is recorded in the Qi-watching technique that there are seven types of geniuses; one in a hundred, one in a thousand, one in 10,000, Inherent King, Inherent Emperor, Inherent Thearach, and Immortal-like.”

“Do you still remember Sikong Jiantian? He is fated to be a king and Ye Ping is at least born with the fate of an emperor. After all, the seventh is basically impossible to exist.”

“To put it more simply, with a few tips from us, Ye Ping will be able to defeat and outshine the geniuses of the Ten Nations and even the Great Xia Dynasty’s academy. Do you understand now?”

Elder Sun said seriously, but halfway through his sentence, he discovered that Li Mocheng and the others still didn’t understand. In the end, he gritted his teeth and described Ye Ping’s aptitude.

As expected, after the elders heard what he said, they were astonished.

They didn’t understand the large chunk of things that Elder Sun said just now.

However, they understood the latter half of the sentence.

‘He just needs a pointer and he can defeat the geniuses of the Ten Nations?’

‘Damn it, why is it so terrifying?”

“Elder Sun, is what you said true or not? Don’t lie to me, I can’t stand this agitation!”

Li Mocheng swallowed some saliva and recovered from the shock immediately.

The Ten Nations Grand Tournament was just around the corner. Although they would not be kicked out by the Ten Nations Grand Tournament even if they came in last place this time, there was an issue.

If they failed repeatedly, the academy would be disbanded.

In particular, he still had ten more years to go before he stepped down. If they lost this time, Li Mocheng would be extremely embarrassed.

Hence, Li Mocheng was the most nervous and most anxious for the Jin Nation Academy to have a new genius.

“Academy Master, what would I lie to you for? If you don’t believe me, just go to the combat arena and take a look. All the third generation and fourth generation disciples are now still lying there.”

Elder Sun was a bit perplexed.

However, as soon as he said that, various figures vanished on the spot and flew towards the combat arena.

To be honest, it was not that the people didn’t believe Elder Sun, but rather, Elder Sun was being too much of a braggart.

The saying that involved the Dragon of Luck, Inherent Thearch, random pointers, beating the geniuses of Ten Nations, and trampling over the elites of Great Xia Dynasty was just too exaggerated.

Hence, in order to verify what Elder Sun said, they could only see it for themselves.

Right after, only Elder Sun was left alone in the entire hall.

The latter froze for a moment, and he also immediately followed them.

In the combat arena.

In less than three breaths, all the elders arrived at the combat arena.

They saw hundreds of injured people lying inside the combat arena while all the newly matriculated disciples were supporting them and sending them to have their wounds healed.

With the appearance of the elders, the group of disciples were a little surprised.

“Greetings, Elder.”

The newly matriculated disciples greeted one after another.

On the other hand, the third generation and fourth generation disciples dared not speak. Some couldn’t while some were too embarrassed to do so.

Seeing this scene, the elders looked at each other.

At this moment, they completely believed what Elder Sun said just now.

In an instant, the elders fell silent, and immediately afterwards, someone stopped directly in front of Li Yan.

He asked agitatedly, “Who beat you up?”

He was Li Yan’s master and seemed to be very anxious.

“Huh?”

Li Yan was slightly stunned, but he nonetheless subconsciously answered, “Master, it’s a newly matriculated disciple called Ye Ping.”

Li Yan answered truthfully and did not dare to lie at all.

“Indeed, it’s really Ye Ping. Where is he now?”

The latter became even more excited.

“Where? It seems that he went to the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion. Master, I was too incompetent this time. Don’t blame Ye Ping, please don’t make things hard for him.”

At the same time, Li Yan mistakenly thought that his master was going to exact revenge on Ye Ping after seeing his injuries. Hence, he spoke up, lest his master went to look for Ye Ping and ended up embarrassing him.

However, the latter couldn’t help but speak up afterwards.

“You’re thinking too much. I’m just going to go take him in as a disciple. And you, Li Yan, couldn’t even beat a new disciple. You’ve truly embarrassed me. You’re not allowed to leave the Jin Nation Academy again this year. If I find out that you’ve left, I’ll break your legs.”

Li Yan’s master berated furiously before running towards Kṣitigarbha Pavilion.

Indeed, he was going to take Ye Ping as his disciple.

A newly matriculated disciple managed to defeat the third generation and fourth generation disciples with the power of his own body. He was simply a demon.

If he took Ye Ping as his disciple, wouldn’t he ascend?

Just like what Elder Sun said, one or two pointers were all Ye Ping needed to defeat the geniuses of the Ten Nations and trample on the Great Xia Dynasty.

If that was really the case, when Ye Ping became invincible in the future, people would not only remember who Ye Ping was but also his master.

Who would refuse the chance to indirectly rise to fame?

However, after watching Li Yan’s master leave, the other elders also snapped back to their senses.

All of a sudden, all the elders vanished and flew towards Kṣitigarbha Pavilion.

They were extremely excited and were casting their Mystical Abilities, feeling as if they were going to snatch some treasures.

Inside the combat arena, the disciples were a little confused.

However, Li Yan and the others were the ones who were the most upset.

When they saw their masters coming, they thought that their masters would show them some concern, but they didn’t expect to be reprimanded.

In the end, they even vied to take Ye Ping in as their disciple. How could they not be upset?

Comparison really makes one’s blood boil.

In the Jin Nation Academy, dozens of rays of light were flashing.

Soon, the elders arrived at the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion in groups.

They scrambled to get into Kṣitigarbha Pavilion and argued while running.

“When I was gazing at the sky yesterday, I discovered that there was an extra star beside mine. Previously, I was confused, but now, I understand that Heaven wants me to take in one more disciple. Senior Brothers, Junior Brothers, will you let me?”

“Senior Brother Xu, I counted my fingers yesterday and discovered that I’m going to have an extra disciple and I reckon it’s Ye Ping. Senior Brothers, Heaven’s will is not to be defied, so let me have Ye Ping.”

“Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Zhang, you are so shameless. How many disciples have you taken in these years? You still don’t have enough? I haven’t received a single disciple in the past ten years, I must make Ye Ping my disciple.”

“You? Who do you think you are? Are you qualified? Don’t end up leading the disciple astray. You’d better let me have Ye Ping.”

“Are you asking for trouble? I’m not qualified? If I’m not qualified, who else is? Don’t blame me for being harsh, but how many people can teach better than I do?”

“Senior Brother Deng, you really aren’t fit for it.”

“Screw you, I’ll make myself clear today. This Ye Ping must become my disciple. Otherwise, I’ll leave Jin Nation Academy.”

“Sure, hurry up and leave. I’ll have one less competitor then.”

“Great, inform the kitchen to cook for one less person today.”

In the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion, more than thirty Jin Nation elders were bickering incessantly and mocking each other, all just to become Ye Ping’s master.

“Silence!”

However, just at that moment, Li Mocheng’s voice sounded.

His voice was extremely loud, and all of a sudden, the elders quietened down.

Standing in front of the elders, Li Mocheng frowned and looked at everyone with anger in his eyes.

“Outrageous!”

“Outrageous!”

“This is outrageous!”

Li Mocheng roared three sentences in a row, his eyes full of anger as he glowered at them.

At that moment, everyone fell silent and stopped arguing.

“You elders are all influential figures of Jin Nation.”

“Yet, you’re getting into a heated argument and fighting over a disciple. Do you take me seriously?”

Li Mocheng pointed at the crowd with the dominance of an Academy Master.

“Academy Master, I don’t mean anything else, but please make a judgment. All the geniuses of the academy have been snatched away, and now that there’s one, they still want to snatch him away. Is that even fair?”

Some elders couldn’t help but speak up in disgruntlement.

“A talented person chooses a patron of integrity. Elder Xu, the geniuses choose us, not the other way around. You’re incompetent, so those geniuses chose not to take you as their master. Do you want to take in disciples even though you’re a bad teacher?”

“Yes, I agree with what Elder Wang said. Besides, the disciples we took in before can’t be considered geniuses at all. If you like, you can have all of them, let me have Ye Ping.”

“What do you mean let you have Ye Ping? Aren’t you going to ask for my opinion?”

“A talented person chooses a patron of integrity? What a joke, you people? Are you worthy?”

“Why not? You don’t seem very convinced. Why don’t we go out for a fight? Do you dare to step up?”

“No way, you guys don’t think I’m too scared to fight, do you?”

“No one really thinks you dare to fight, right?”

All of a sudden, the crowd began to argue again and they were all furious.

It was really hard to imagine the scene of a bunch of old men, who were hundreds of years old, getting into a fight.

However, that was very normal too. There was indeed no genius in Jin Nation Academy, and now that there was a peerless genius like Ye Ping, everyone wanted to take him as their disciple.

“All of you, shut up.”

Seeing that the group of elders were about to argue again, Li Mocheng couldn’t help but scold them and tell them to shut up.

However, Li Mocheng, the Academy Master, did have some authority in Jin Nation Academy. As soon as he spoke, the crowd once again fell silent and did not bother to argue.

“Your ages add up to more than 10,000 years old, and yet you’re still arguing like three-year-old children. You are simply disgracing the Jin Nation Academy.”

“Ye Ping is extraordinary and indeed a supreme genius, but if he were to see you all like this, it’d be better for him to take a stone as his master than you guys.”

“You don’t act like elders and experts at all. Don’t end up making a fool out of yourselves and embarrassing the Jin Nation Academy.”

Li Mocheng’s words rendered the crowd speechless.

Indeed, if Ye Ping were to see the scene that they had created, it might really make Ye Ping look down on the Jin Nation Academy.

However, that could not be blamed on them. After all, they had seen geniuses but not supreme geniuses.

To them, there was no future for their cultivation anymore and teaching was their only hope, and they were counting on their disciples to surpass themselves. In this case, it was considered a different way of pretending to be impressive.’

“Academy Master, what do you say we should do? We will listen to you.”

“Yes, we’ll listen to you. Tell us.”

The elders nodded and understood that they had lost some of their composure just now.

Hearing their answer, the anger in Li Mocheng’s eyes gradually vanished.

“You’re going to obey me, right?”

“In this case, let Ye Ping learn from me for a period of time and stabilize his foundation. We’ll let Ye Ping choose for himself in a year or two from now on, okay?”

Li Mocheng said, voicing his thoughts.

However, after he said that, the gazes of the crowd became… a little peculiar in an instant.

That made Li Mocheng a little embarrassed.

‘What do you guys mean by looking at me like that?’

‘Is my solution not good?’

‘If you have an opinion, raise it.’

‘Why don’t you guys say anything?’

‘What do you want to do by staring at me like this? Want to fight?’

Li Mocheng was looking more and more embarrassed.

“Well, Academy Master, I thought you were a decent person, but I didn’t expect you to take us for fools, huh?”

“Do you take us for fools? First let Ye Ping follow you for a year or two? Wouldn’t that make him your disciple?”

“I thought you had a good solution. Academy Master, that’s all you have?”

“Academy Master, if you say so, I will object.”

“I object too.”

“Academy Master, you’d better go away. You’re not suitable for being a teacher.”

The elders spoke out. They were not fools. If they let Li Mocheng take Ye Ping under his wing, wouldn’t that make him Li Mocheng’s disciple?

“Gentlemen, how about this? Give Ye Ping to me and I can guarantee that within three Ten Nations Grand Tournaments, I will definitely let Jin Nation emerge as champion. How about that?”

“Three? I want two!”

“I can do it in one then.”

“Your goal for such a genius is only the Ten Nations Grand Tournament. Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, if Ye Ping becomes my disciple, I will lead the Jin Nation Academy to glory and become on par with the Great Xia Academy within a hundred years.”

“You want to brag, huh? I’ll achieve that in ten years!”

“How much have you guys been drinking? Fine, I’ll make the Jin Nation Academy take off within a year.”

“Hah, all of you are such braggarts. Sure, if Ye Ping becomes my disciple, I will not only lead the Jin Nation Academy to become the best in the world of immortal cultivation, but also take off to the moon and establish a branch.”

“I support Elder Li, he said he will lead us to the moon.”

The elders began to argue again.

One by one, they were dead set on harping on it.

On the other hand, Li Mocheng was so angry that he was speechless and simply looked at them.

“You’re projecting your shortcomings on me. Do I seem like such a person?”

“You guys are belittling me.”

Li Mocheng cursed.

“Academy Master, you are almost 300 years old. Stop getting up to these tricks, we know what kind of a person you are.”

“Exactly, exactly.”

“Why don’t we fight and the winner can be Ye Ping’s master?”

“Sure, I’m good at fighting.”

“I object, we are all educated, how can we fight? How about a literary battle?”

“Screw you, let’s just fight.”

The elders were arguing outside the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion.

However, at this moment,

Elder Sun suddenly spoke.

“I’ve got an idea.”

As his voice sounded, everyone couldn’t help but look at Elder Sun, their eyes filled with curiosity.

They wondered what good idea Elder Sun had.
