Chapter 319: Chapter 318: I Really Can’t Tell If You’re Smart or Stupid! (5th Update)

"Since that’s the case, then I ask everyone to be the judge!"

Lin Fan nodded slightly.

Then.

He turned around.

In front of everyone, he bellowed, "Everyone, please be the judge. We hold genuine recommendation letters, and just because we didn’t offer a bribe, this teacher claims our letters are fake and refuses us entry into Central Continent Academy. Is there any sense in that?"

Lin Fan’s voice, mixed with mana, boomed.

And so.

It thundered like a rumbling storm.

Boom!

The sound spread throughout the entire plaza of Central Continent Academy.

"Buzz!"

All the cultivators at the plaza looked over, driven by curiosity.

The crowd surged forward, quickly surrounding the already crowded entrance of Central Continent Academy, making it packed and impregnable!

"Kid, have you lost your mind?"

Wu Jianrong’s face turned ashen, his complexion switching between pitch black and deathly pale, his eyes flashing with intense panic.

His act of accepting bribes was indeed against the rules.

But he had been receiving bribes for three to four years, others had too before him.

He had never seen anyone, like Lin Fan, expose him publicly!

If the higher-ups in the academy were to find out, Wu Jianrong would undoubtedly not escape punishment!

If this affected the academy’s reputation, he might even be expelled from Central Continent Academy!

"What’s going on?"

"Shh! Keep it down, let me tell you. Just now this Teacher Wu openly accepted a bribe. This man and woman refused to pay, so they publicly uncovered Teacher Wu’s deeds!"

"Damn it, I’ve always been annoyed with these people. They all take a salary from Central Continent Academy, aren’t they already paid? Why do they still extort money from us?"

"That’s right! When I registered, that damn clerk took a thousand Spirit Stones from me!"

"I’ve always been displeased with these people, but to enter Central Continent Academy, I had no choice but to comply!"

"..."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion.

Listening to everyone’s words, Lin Fan realized that such matters had long since caused public outrage and resentment.

"Disperse! All of you, disperse! What are you looking at?"

Wu Jianrong unleashed the aura of his Nascent Soul, trying to disperse the crowd.

Right there.

A beautiful figure emerged from the main gate of Central Continent Academy, speaking coldly, "Wu Jianrong, what is everyone doing? Why is such a crowd blocking the entrance of the academy? What kind of decorum is this?"

She was wearing a water-blue long dress, its hem trailing on the ground, her appearance impeccable.

Especially that demeanor, which made countless women feel utterly inferior!

"So beautiful!"

"Who is this?"

"Don’t you even know her? She is Su Lan, the most famous beauty and teacher from the Inner Court of Central Continent Academy. She’s not even a hundred years old, yet her strength has already reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!"

Central Continent Academy is divided into the Outer Court and the Inner Court.

The Outer Court is for students with average talent.

While the students in the Inner Court are the cream of the crop.

Or those who have cultivated for three years in the Outer Court and have reached the Nascent Soul Realm, they all become students of the Inner Court.

"What? Nascent Soul Middle Stage? Isn’t it said that teachers in the Inner Court have to be at least at the early stage of Divinity Transformation? How can a woman at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage become a teacher in the Inner Court?" The people present found it unbelievable.

"That’s what you’re unaware of! Teacher Su Lan does not teach cultivation. She teaches Alchemy Skill. Don’t be fooled by Teacher Su Lan’s youth; in reality, she is already a Ninth-Grade Dan Venerate!"

"What? A Ninth-Grade Dan Venerate!"

"No wonder!"

The people at the plaza suddenly understood.

Low Rank Elixirs are classified from First Grade to Ninth Grade.

Being able to refine Ninth Grade Elixirs, one can be considered a Dan Venerate!

Above Dan Venerate, there are Dan Saint, Dan Emperor, and Dan Imperial!

Similarly, each realm is divided into nine grades.

"Eh? Wait! It’s said that the Dean of Central Continent Academy is a First Grade Dan Emperor. Could it be... this Teacher Su Lan..."

"Correct! This Teacher Su Lan is indeed the daughter of that mysterious Dean Su..."

"Hiss!"

A collective gasp of shock rippled through the crowd!

Wu Jianrong’s entire body trembled as he turned around nervously to look at Su Lan, his complexion somewhat unsightly as he explained, "Teacher Su!"

"Teacher Wu, what happened?" Su Lan’s beautiful eyes showed no sign of disturbance, her face remaining completely calm.

"Cough cough! It’s nothing major, just a minor accident, I can resolve it immediately!" Wu Jianrong hurriedly explained.

Suddenly.

Lin Fan spoke up again!

His words were astonishing!

"I certainly don’t think it’s a minor accident, after all, this involves a teacher from the Central Continent Academy accepting bribes!"

This time, everyone heard it clearly!

Lin Fan’s words, like a tsunami, caused a huge uproar among the crowd.

"Nonsense! You’re talking nonsense!"

Wu Jianrong was nearly scared out of his wits; he had never anticipated Lin Fan would disclose this matter in public!

"Accepting bribes?"

Su Lan’s pretty face suddenly turned grim, instantly as cold as an iceberg as she gave Lin Fan a deep look,

Then, her gaze turned towards Wu Jianrong as she demanded, "Explain!"

Just two words.

Arrogant.

Unemotional.

Unquestionable!

"Teacher Su... it’s all a misunderstanding! All a misunderstanding!" Cold sweat poured from Wu Jianrong’s forehead, but as he met Su Lan’s indifferent eyes, he trembled and cried out in fright: "It’s like this, this youngster brought a forged document, that’s why I didn’t allow him to enter the academy, he’s falsely accusing me!"

"Falsely accusing? Haha!"

Lin Fan shook his head amusedly, shrugging his shoulders, "I had thought that teachers at Central Continent Academy were of high moral standing. Seeing this! It appears to be nothing more than a nest of rats and dogs! You can turn black into white? Not daring to admit to accepting a bribe in public? Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!"

Lin Fan spoke while shaking his head.

Su Lan’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, the document was just thrown away by this person. Why don’t you pick it up and see for yourself if it’s real or fake?" Lin Fan scoffed.

Even in the face of Su Lan, he showed no sign of retreating.

Su Lan’s gaze swept over and indeed, not far from Wu Jianrong’s feet, she saw a document.

Subsequently.

With a raise of her hand, the recommendation document flew directly into Su Lan’s hands. After a glance, her face turned ashen.

The document was real!

As the person in charge of receiving new students, Wu Jianrong could not have been unaware of the document’s authenticity.

Given that the document was real, and he had discarded it, while also preventing Lin Fan and the others from entering the academy.

There was only one conclusion!

What Lin Fan had just said was also true, Wu Jianrong had indeed taken a bribe!

"Wu Jianrong, you’ve got some nerve! These are the rules that have been established by the Central Continent Academy for tens of thousands of years since its founding. Do you, a mere Outer Court teacher, dare to defy them? Are you seeking death?" Su Lan shouted fiercely, her expression steely.

"Thump!"

Wu Jianrong was thoroughly terrified, collapsing to his knees with a thud, continuously kowtowing, "Teacher Su, I realize my mistake! I truly understand my wrongdoing, I’ll never dare to do it again!"

Wu Jianrong’s heart burned with hatred for Lin Fan.

He wished he could slap Lin Fan to death on the spot!

After all these years, others took bribes without consequences, so why couldn’t he? Moreover, he had been caught red-handed by Su Lan!

"Hmph! From now on, Wu Jianrong’s status as an Outer Court teacher is revoked, demoted to a regular instructor! For the next ten years, all your wages will be nullified! If you offend again, you’ll be expelled from the Central Continent Academy!" Su Lan snorted coldly, delivering judgment without mercy.

Having said this, she turned to Lin Fan and asked, "Are you satisfied with this punishment?"

The difference between teachers and instructors at Central Continent Academy, though both teach students, could not be more different!

One is in the heavens, the other on the ground!

"Acceptable."

Lin Fan nodded lightly.

"It’s all over! Completely over!"

Wu Jianrong collapsed on the ground, his face ashen, utterly desolate!

"All right! Since you have the recommendation document, then follow me inside!" Su Lan turned around and walked towards Central Continent Academy.

Lin Fan and Nolan Yanran followed closely behind her.

Just as he was about to step onto the staircase, he heard Yu Hexuan’s voice from behind: "I really can’t tell if you’re smart or stupid!"
