Chapter 598: Chapter 599: Meeting the Elder (First Update)

Yan Gu, Mukyeon Jeon.

These two genius disciples of the new batch now all lay prostrate at the hands of Chu Fengmian, kneeling on the ground.

As elder disciples, they originally came to provoke Chu Fengmian, to strut their stuff with bravado.

Yet, no one could have imagined that they would end up like this, thoroughly suppressed by Chu Fengmian.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they knelt on the ground.

Looking at the countless gazes of Beimang Academy disciples surrounding them, the humiliation in their hearts reached its pinnacle, wishing they could just kill themselves.

For these geniuses, dignity was even more important than life.

But now, under the suppression of Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Power, they didn’t even have the chance to take their own lives.

"You two just kneel here and reflect on yourselves," Chu Fengmian said with a cold glance towards Yan Gu and Mukyeon Jeon.

Ignoring them completely, he turned to Bai Xuan and said a simple, "Let’s go."

The two figures left directly, leaving only Yan Gu and Mukyeon Jeon kneeling on the ground, surrounded by the onlookers from Beimang Academy.

"Chu Fengmian’s strength... probably is sufficient to reach the level of a Core Disciple, right?"

"It’s very likely. With such strength, promotion is possible at any moment."

"Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan, I wonder what kind of extraordinary encounter they had to rise so rapidly like this."

An Inner Sect Disciple enviously raved; originally, Bai Xuan’s strength was only on par with his.

But Chu Fengmian, someone he never thought highly of.

Yet now, this minor figure had far surpassed him, and although Bai Xuan hadn’t made a move, he could feel that her strength was no longer on the same level as his.

"Don’t bother with them anymore. Once these two are promoted to Core Disciples, they will become significant figures in our Beimang Academy, their status not far below many of the elders. We can only try to curry favor with them."

Various Martial Artists began to speak.

As the saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Originally, when Chu Feng fought Yan Gu, everyone was on Yan Gu’s side.

But now, having seen Chu Fengmian’s display of strength, they all shifted to Chu Fengmian’s side, because strength was respected above all.

With strength came status, and no one dared to look down on Chu Fengmian, the Outer Sect Disciple, anymore; everyone looked up to him.

"It seems that in Beimang Academy, one cannot simply keep a low profile," Chu Fengmian commented with a smile, watching everyone’s attitudes change.

The more one tolerated in silence, the more they were bullied. Only by being assertive and displaying one’s strength would one truly establish a foothold in Beimang Academy.

People of Beimang Academy were all proud and lofty individuals; only strength could subdue them—nothing else would work.

"Now that you easily defeated Yan Gu and Mukyeon Jeon, making a name for yourself, the higher-ups of Beimang Academy will likely take note of this soon, and an elder will probably come forward to invite you to become a Core Disciple," Bai Xuan said, then suddenly shifted her tone.

"However, you shattered the Jade Talisman and made Yan Gu kneel, and with his backer, Elder Yuguai, it’s unlikely they will let this go easily."

"Is that so? Elder Yuguai, with at most the strength of a high-level Life and Death realm, if he dares to target me, he too will have to kneel," Chu Fengmian said coldly.

In Beimang Academy, strength ruled supreme. Core Disciples, and even the Core Disciples, paid little heed to the academy’s elders.

Even supreme beings like Night Heaven Lord received ingratiating gestures and flattery from many elders, and if he wished to kill an elder, it wouldn’t require much time or effort.

Strength is the supreme rule at Beimang Academy.

"That’s true. As long as we have strength, what are elders? They can be killed just the same. If we are promoted to seed disciples, we are essentially on equal footing with the elders and need not fear Elder Yu’s retaliation."

Bai Xuan spoke.

Suddenly, in the palm of her hand, a Jade Talisman flashed into existence. Opening the talisman and reading the information within, Bai Xuan’s face revealed a slight smile.

"As expected, several elders from Beimang Academy want to see us in the Merit Hall."

Now that Chu Fengmian had defeated Yan Gu in the Muyea battle, forcing both of them to kneel in suppression,

such significant news naturally spread quickly throughout Beimang Academy. It was perfectly normal for the academy’s upper echelons to take notice.

"Let’s go."

Chu Fengmian spoke casually.

This time, his show of force was precisely to be promoted to a seed disciple. Now that the opportunity had arrived, he naturally would not miss it.

He, too, wished to experience the legacy of Beimang Academy.

Two streaks of light broke through the void and left, arriving in front of an immense palace in just a few moments.

This vast palace was the Merit Hall, where disciples of Beimang Academy were promoted.

Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan stepped inside, where they immediately saw three elder figures.

Each of these elder figures exuded an aura that had surpassed thresholds, their strength immeasurably powerful, all high-ranking individuals in the realm of life and death.

In Beimang Academy, true elders were almost all high-rank life and death realm individuals. Elders like those of the life and death realm were merely outer sect elders and had some distance from the true elders.

Upon seeing Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan enter, all three elders came forward.

"Elder Blood, Elder Ink, Elder Nangong."

Bai Xuan greeted the three elders with a bow.

"Bai Xuan, there is no need for formalities. You’re about to be promoted to a seed disciple, and your status will soon be equal to ours, so be at ease," said one of the elders, Elder Blood, with a smile.

"I really didn’t expect that the ones to be promoted this time would be the two of you," another elder, Elder Ink, also spoke.

"I initially thought that Luo Changhen would be the first to be promoted to a seed disciple. It’s surprising that he perished in the Sea of Void."

Elder Ink expressed some regret.

Luo Changhen had always been ranked first on the earth list, and his promotion to a seed disciple had seemed certain.

The loss of such a talent was indeed significant.

It should be known that the seed disciples and core disciples of Beimang Academy together numbered less than a hundred, a total accumulated over countless years.

The promotion of even one individual a year was a rare occasion.

Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan’s simultaneous promotion to seed disciples had not occurred for hundreds of years.

"If that waste Luo Changhen died out there, then let him be dead. Beimang Academy has no need for wastes," coldly stated the last Elder, Elder Nangong, with words full of ruthlessness, taking a glance at Bai Xuan and Chu Fengmian, yet a smile appeared on his face.

"The two of you have done well. Now, having attained such strength through fortuitous encounters outside, your power places you far from the bottom among the seed disciples."

"Very good. Beimang Academy has gained two more seed disciples, and our academy has grown even stronger."
