Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Succeed

High in the sky.

Ling Chen looked around with a commanding gaze, his voice loud as he said to all the students of the Academic Palace, "I’ll ask you, are you not trash?"

The moment these words were spoken, the expressions of the students turned bitter, their previous arrogance nowhere to be seen.

Ling Chen was a high-grade middle-level Divine Thought Master, after all!

Once a Divine Soul Attack was executed, no one under the seventh level of Primordial Pill Realm could withstand him.

Among them, not even a single cultivator was at the sixth level of Primordial Pill Realm, how could they dare to challenge Ling Chen?

Even if Ling Chen insulted them further?

They could only endure in silence.

Because this is a world where strength reigns supreme!

Without strength, being bullied was only to be expected!

"If you think you aren’t trash, then come up and fight me. If you win, I’ll admit you’re not trash, and gift you a thousand high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones!"

Ling Chen’s voice echoed across the square.

Regrettably, the students all bowed their heads, none daring to utter a word.

Looking at that spirited silhouette in the sky, a murderous intent flashed through Ye Fan’s eyes.

He knew Ling Chen was a Divine Thought Master.

It had been only two months since they last met, and Ling Chen had already reached the level of a high-grade middle-level Divine Thought Master, an alarmingly fast cultivation speed.

If Ling Chen were allowed to grow, his own life would surely be at risk!

"It seems, I must suppress this youngster quickly, not letting him grow any further," Ye Fan thought to himself.

Should Ling Chen become a high-grade senior Divine Thought Master, he would be utterly powerless to resist.

"Alright, since none of you dare to challenge me, then you’ve tacitly admitted you are trash. Since you’re trash, from now on, I don’t want any trash bothering me."

Ling Chen spoke coldly, then descended from the sky.

"Let’s continue with the previous matter."

Ling Chen continued, "Ye Fan, you’re not admitting it, I take it? Elder Chi Shen, Ling Wu, Qin Shi, and others were all witnesses to this matter—are you still trying to deny it?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan sneered, "These people are from your Academic Palace, of course, they would cover up for you."

Master Lan from the Academic Palace also spoke, "Ling Chen, words alone are not proof. You need solid evidence and witnesses."

He had heard about the dispute at the Eight Palaces Conference.

However, since he belonged to the Academic Palace, without undeniable proof, he naturally sided with Ye Fan.

Ling Chen looked towards Lin Fuyao and Shen Xiao, only to see both of them bowing their heads.

Clearly, these two were grateful for Elder Ye’s care and didn’t want to seem ungrateful.

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded and said, "Master Lan, you must have seen the talents of me and my sister Ling Wu."

"With such talents, we should be several times stronger than Lin Fuyao and Shen Xiao, right?"

"But have you ever wondered, Master Lan? Everyone knows the Academic Palace is stronger than the Academic Palace, so why did we choose to join the Academic Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Master Lan nodded, "Indeed, as Young Master Ling said, there seems to be some mystery."

Then, he changed his tone, "However, choosing an academy is ultimately a very personal matter. To deduce from this that Elder Ye intended to murder you might be rather arbitrary, wouldn’t it?"

He adhered to one principle: without ironclad proof, he would absolutely not accept such a charge. After all, Elder Ye, the person involved, had not admitted anything.

Hearing this, Ling Chen smiled slightly.

From the beginning, he had no intention of getting the Academic Palace to agree with him.

His statement was merely to expose Ye Fan.

"Today, I am here to seek an explanation from Elder Ye. Previously, the Crown Prince had promised me a resolution, but to this day, there’s been no word. So, I had to come myself."

Ling Chen’s voice gradually became colder.

"Young Master Ling, what explanation do you want?"

Master Lan smiled.

Even if Ling Chen was a Divine Thought Master, he was insignificant in front of him and Ye Fan.

"He wanted to kill me, Master Lan, what explanation do you think I should seek?"

Ling Chen spoke coldly.

"How so, Young Master Ling, you wish to put this elder in a deathly bind with just mere words?"

Elder Ye sneered.

"You even want to kill me, should I keep you around for the New Year?"

Ling Chen retorted sharply.

"Very well! I want to see how you intend to kill me."

Elder Ye grimaced with a smile.

He is a cultivator in the middle stages of the eighth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, possessing a Super Spiritual Body!

And Ling Chen is merely at the late stage of the fourth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, possessing nothing more than a mysterious Super Spiritual Body.

The gap in their Spiritual Power is close to four layers.

Moreover, he is a high-level cultivator of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Over the years, he has mastered the Heavenly Spirit Technique to perfection.

He has mastered both high-grade attacks and the Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique.

This means that Ling Chen has no advantage in either Spiritual Power or Spirit Art.

If Ling Chen intends to make a move, he would embrace it wholeheartedly, taking this opportunity to eliminate this highly threatening individual.

Ling Chen’s attack on him, and his subsequent killing of the former, does not violate the laws of Great Xia.

"You and I battle, not stopping until one of us is dead!"

Ling Chen declared coldly.

"What?!"

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

Ling Chen actually wants to have a life-and-death duel with Elder Ye?

He’s only at the fourth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm!

Moreover, even if he is a mid-grade Divine Thought Master, he stands no chance in front of a cultivator at the eighth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

"No way!"

Both Master Qin and Elder Chi spoke at once.

Ling Chen is exceptionally talented; he does not need to fight with Elder Ye now.

In the future, once Ling Chen has grown, wouldn’t killing Elder Ye be as easy as flipping his hand?

Why is he making such a demand now?

Has hatred clouded his mind?

Has Ling Chen gone mad?

"Ling Chen, you have no evidence to prove that Elder Ye wants to kill you, you cannot lay hands on him!"

Elder Chi hurriedly said.

It’s not that he is unwilling to testify for Ling Chen.

It’s just that currently, his words are utterly useless. The Academic Palace of King You certainly won’t change their decision because of what he says.

Because this involves not only the face of Elder Ye but also the reputation and face of the Academic Palace of King You.

If word gets out that the Academic Palace strikes its disciples, then the reputation of the Academic Palace of King You will be tarnished. Recruiting new students in the future will definitely be very difficult.

Thus, under no circumstances will the Academic Palace of King You admit to this.

Indeed, from the report submitted by the Crown Prince, the fact that King You still has not punished Elder Ye also reveals something.

He now finally understands why Ling Chen had initially borrowed a high-grade Spiritual Weapon from him; originally, Ling Chen had this intention!

Elder Ye felt tempted.

Honestly, Ling Chen’s proposal is very enticing.

Ling Chen’s potential is too great; he fears that the next time he sees Ling Chen, his abilities might have already surpassed his own.

Then, he could only hide within the Academic Palace of King You.

And when Ling Chen becomes a top powerhouse of the Dynasty, the Academic Palace of King You might not even be able to protect him.

At that time, King You will clearly weigh the priorities.

So, if he can take this opportunity now to eliminate Ling Chen, then in the future, he could rest easy.

"Alright!"

Elder Ye immediately agreed: "This is a private matter between us; it has nothing to do with the two Academic Palaces."

Hearing this, a gleam of successful scheming flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes, then vanished instantly.
