Chapter 7196 Another Advancement
“Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect, Dean Long Chen is here for justice. Feng Xinglie, get the hell out here!”
A cold shout exploded through the air as a giant battleship appeared before the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect’s majestic gates.
Long Chen led the first academy’s eight million elites. Their sharp killing intent was like an unsheathed blade pointed at the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect.
“They really did come!”
There were countless experts hidden in the vicinity. They were both nervous and excited.
Ever since Long Chen returned to the first academy, he had brought new thrills every day to these experts that were in charge of gathering information. He had led consecutive battles, each more intense and marvelous than the last. Thus, when he announced that he would be making a trip to the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect, many people immediately ran over to occupy the best vantage points.
Some went so far as to secretly sell tickets to the others after taking the best spots. After all, there were many people who hadn’t gotten to personally witness the previous few fights. It felt like a huge loss, and now they could make up for it.
Business opportunities came in all shapes and forms. Some stronger forces set up surveillance formations just so that they could sit back and relax as they watched. In fact, some seats were so extravagant and luxurious that they came with special prices, and even these high prices didn’t dissuade people from buying them.
Of course, anyone capable of selling tickets had to be able to guarantee the safety of the spectator. If the spectator was injured or died, they would have a major problem. More importantly, anyone who wanted to sell tickets here had to guarantee there wouldn’t be issues with the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect afterward. Naturally, there were hardly any individual sects and clans around that had the capability to challenge the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect. However, with them putting up a united front, the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect definitely wouldn’t be able to treat them lightly.
Once Long Chen arrived, countless formations lit up. There was a sea of people inside of them. When these people saw Long Chen, they let out a thunderous roar of cheers.
The majority of them were young disciples, and they could be considered the cream of the crop in whatever sect or clan they came from. The forces behind them had been willing to pay through the nose to get them the best spots to watch this fight, all so they could bear witness to what a true expert was. It was a chance to see the power of the peak without any direct risk.
The major forces all had headaches when it came to their greatest heavenly geniuses. No matter how they advised them, these arrogant geniuses refused to listen. Of course, a real battle with real risk of death would wake them up to reality, but if they were sent into such a battle and actually died, then the future of their sects would be in jeopardy.
Furthermore, every peak heavenly genius had a crowd of worshippers around them. They heard nothing but flattery and sweet words day in and day out. Let alone a young genius, even an old monster would probably start to get a big head in that kind of environment.
Now a chance for them to gain experience without risk had presented itself. This was a chance for them to see exactly what level they were. And although these seats cost a fortune by ordinary standards, the prices hadn’t actually hit these forces’ bottom line. Even the slightly weaker ones had gritted their teeth and purchased some tickets for their greatest heavenly geniuses. As for the really strong ones, they hadn’t even bothered buying tickets; they had directly sent some people to occupy their own spaces.
But there were many powerful forces and limited space; since they also had to leave some space for their allies, they couldn’t even bring all the disciples that they wanted to. As a result, other than a few elders who had come in order to ensure order and discipline, the rest were all youngsters. Some of these people had come from the wilderness of the Sovereign Emperor Heaven; they had traveled for days just to watch this battle.
When the battleship and Long Chen appeared, they saw that he perfectly matched the rumors. He was incredibly domineering and wild.
He had done countless miraculous deeds throughout the nine heavens and ten lands, and countless youngsters idolized him and wanted to become like him. That was especially true for those disciples who came from weaker backgrounds and had suffered abuse before managing to grow.
Even though they could be considered heavenly geniuses, they lacked the background and foundations that allowed others to rise to the very peak. Naturally, when they learned that Long Chen was merely an ascender from a lower world, they couldn’t believe it. His path had been far thornier than theirs. Thus, every time they felt tired because of their misfortune, every time they felt that they were lost in the darkness, they thought of Long Chen’s rise, and that gave them the courage to move on.
When they personally saw their idol, many people couldn’t hold back their excitement, and even Long Chen himself was surprised by their reaction. He hadn’t expected so many people to come watch, nor had he thought that he had reached such a high position in the hearts of the human race’s junior generation.
Miao Yin also saw the countless disciples cheering and waving at Long Chen. Their appearance shook her heart. This was precisely the sight that she had long dreamed of herself—she wanted to be the leader that all these people cheered for. As for the academy’s disciples, although they kept their expressions calm, they were also excited inside. They felt incomparably proud that they were able to stand by Long Chen’s side.
Long Chen’s own hot blood had been slumbering for a while, but these crazed cheers shook it awake. Even he was affected by their sincere emotions. He thus turned around and cupped his fist towards those disciples, an action that made the cheering grow to a frenzied level.
At the same time as some people cheered, however, there were others who felt immense hostility towards Long Chen. They were heavenly geniuses of the other first rate forces—more specifically, the ones who were set to become the leaders of their forces. This wild crowd cheering for Long Chen had triggered within them a jealousy they found hard to conceal.
However, there were too many people who idolized Long Chen here, and these people’s fanaticism made it impossible for the others to speak up against him. Not only would they offend Long Chen if they tried to say anything, but they would instantly be targeted by all these other heavenly geniuses. Thus, they could only swallow their ire.
Just then, a furious roar rang out from inside the sect, one that drowned out all the cheers.
“Long Chen, you really go too far! Do you think that the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect is afraid of you?!”
The gates opened and countless young disciples came flooding out, with Feng Xinglie at the front.
“His aura...!”
Quite a few experts who had witnessed the last battle let out startled cries when they saw him. Feng Xinglie’s aura was much stronger than before. That wild power that seemed to be about to burst out of him was now condensed and reserved. His icy gaze now contained a light that made their hearts quiver.
“Heavens, in just ten short days, he’s made another breakthrough!”
Everyone was shocked. Indeed, Feng Xinglie was practically a completely different person.
“This time, there’s going to be a real battle between giants!”
After a moment of shock, everyone’s anticipation grew to an even greater level.
