Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Questioning! Ling Feng’s Astonishing Results!

”Finally, all the data has been compiled!”

In Su Qingxuan’s office, the stunningly gorgeous instructor with an attractive figure stretched languidly, causing Leng Jianfeng, who had been assisting her in consolidating the records, to blush profusely.

However, given his dark complexion and the dense beard covering his face, it was hard for anyone to notice his embarrassment.

”Thank you, Instructor Leng,” Su Qingxuan said, offering Leng Jianfeng a faint smile that made his heart feel as if it were melting.

Her smile was like a spring breeze over a lake or autumn rain nurturing the earth, leaving Leng Jianfeng utterly intoxicated.

”Ha ha, ha ha ha...”

Leng Jianfeng could only laugh sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. This man, usually devious, cold, and sly round his students, as ruthless as a wolf, became a complete coward before Su Qingxuan!

”Alright, I’m going to submit the forms now.”

Su Qingxuan tidied up the documents on her desk, nodded at Leng Jianfeng, and, carrying the files, headed to the Vice Dean’s office responsible for this beast hunting competition.

...

In the core area of Heavenly Position Academy, the Vice Dean’s office.

An elderly man with snowy white hair examined a thick stack of documents—the final results summary for students at all levels from the Five Academies.

However, the data for the East Courtyard Yellow Sect Students were conspicuously absent.

”Knock knock knock!”

The sound of knocking arose, and the old man looked up, knowing that the last set of results had arrived. He called out to an emerald-garbed young woman, who was compiling data beside him, ”Xian’er, could you please open the door?”

”Of course, teacher!”

The girl referred to as Xian’er nodded and quickly rose to answer the door.

If Ling Feng had been there, he would have been surprised to discover that this Xian’er was none other than Lin Xian’er, with whom he had had several encounters!

As the door opened, a woman exuding mature charm entered, smiling while carrying a set of documents. ”May I ask if Vice Dean Tong is in?”

”The teacher is,” Lin Xian’er responded with a smile. ”Instructor, are you here to deliver the performance summary?”

”Yes,” Su Qingxuan swiftly entered the room, approached Vice Dean Tong, and bowed respectfully. ”I apologize for the delay, Vice Dean. This is the performance summary for our East Courtyard Yellow Sect students.”

”East Courtyard Yellow Sect students?”

Lin Xian’er’s eyelids twitched. She knew that Ling Feng was a student in the East Courtyard’s Yellow Sect and couldn’t help but prick up her ears, listening intently.

”This report has arrived a bit late, hasn’t it?”

Vice Dean Tong looked up, his expression stern, clearly not in the best of moods.

In fact, besides the students’ performance summaries, there was also a list of fatalities each year.

And this year, the fatality list was about twenty percent longer than in previous years. Furthermore, it included five precious A-Class Disciples from the academy, which was a great loss.

Among them were two sons from the Imperial Court Martial!

Although it was understood that once students participated in the beast hunting contest, their fates were in their own hands, should the Imperial Court Martial come knocking, he, the Vice Dean in charge of the event, would inevitably be affected.

Of course, with the Empire’s backing, the Imperial Court Martial wouldn’t dare make any rash moves, but his life would certainly be less pleasant for a while.

”Some of our students arrived back late, so we waited a bit longer to collate the data. I hope you don’t mind, Vice Dean,” Su Qingxuan softly explained.

”Mm, hand over the transcript and the fatality list,” Vice Dean Tong glanced at Su Qingxuan and said indifferently.

Su Qingxuan hurriedly handed over the documents, adding slowly, ”Vice Dean, this time, there were no fatalities among our East Courtyard Yellow Sect students.”

”Dead? Not bad at all!”

Tong Chengtai nodded, pleased to finally hear some good news.

He glanced over the grade report and was about to dismiss Su Qingxuan when his eyes suddenly fell on the first name on the list, and incredulously, there was a record of a Fifth-rank Demon Pill!

That Fifth-rank was particularly jarring.

In this beast-hunting competition, even among the A-class Disciples, the number of those who had slain a Fifth-rank Demon was pitifully low, a mere three.

Yet in the performance report handed in by the Yellow Character Disciples, there appeared a tally of a Fifth-rank Demon Pill.

”Wait a minute!” Tong Chengtai furrowed his brow, ”Master Su, you must have recorded this in haste and made an error, didn’t you?”

”What?” Su Qingxuan blinked her beautiful big eyes and quickly responded, ”Vice Dean, I’ve double-checked several times with the utmost care; there shouldn’t be any mistakes.”

”Double-checked several times?”

Tong Chengtai slammed the report onto the desk and said sternly, ”The first error is right there in the first row, first column. That Yellow Character Disciple named Ling Feng actually got a Fifth-rank Demon Beast? Isn’t this glaring mistake obvious enough without me pointing it out?”

Tong Chengtai was somewhat irritated. He was already frustrated, and now this young instructor seemed to be handling things without any common sense!

Beside him, Lin Xian’er suddenly heard the name Ling Feng, and her heart trembled fiercely.

Ling Feng had killed a Fifth-rank Demon?

Not to mention the Vice Dean’s disbelief, even she found it hard to believe!

Could a practitioner in the Magnetic Condensation Realm, however supernaturally gifted, jump straight over the Origin Transformation Realm to slay one from the Divine Origin Realm?

Upon hearing this, Su Qingxuan hurried to explain, ”Vice Dean, this data is in fact real! I haven’t made a mistake; it truly is a Fifth-rank Demon Pill brought back by student Ling Feng.”

”What?” Tong Chengtai’s eyelids twitched wildly as he stood up abruptly, staring at Su Qingxuan with disbelief, demanding, ”You’re saying that a Yellow Character Disciple has slain a Fifth-rank Demon?”

”Yes,” Su Qingxuan nodded firmly, ”I haven’t falsified anything. There were students present as well as Instructor Leng Jianfeng who can bear witness. Besides, it’s a routine practice for the academy to randomly check the authenticity of the results. Even if I were foolish, I wouldn’t declare a Fifth-rank Demon Pill just to inflate the achievements of my students.”

”This...”

Tong Chengtai took a deep breath, a storm of amazement brewing inside him.

Could there really be such a heaven-defying existence among the Yellow Character Disciples?

It was nearly too incredible to believe!

Tong Chengtai slowly sat back down, furrowed his brow, and said gravely, ”Alright, I’ve taken note of this.”

After a moment of contemplation, he continued, ”Regarding this Ling Feng, his results are indeed quite exaggerated. However, since you say so, they must be authentic. But ’the tall tree catches the wind.’ A Yellow Character Disciple slaying a Fifth-rank Demon is way beyond comprehension. If it arouses envy in others, it may not bode well for this Ling Feng.”

”What... does the Vice Dean plan to do?”

Su Qingxuan nodded, aware that it wasn’t uncommon for jealousy amongst students to lead to the downfall of promising talents.

Tong Chengtai made a decisive stroke with his pen, crossing out the record of the Fifth-rank Demon Pill, and said indifferently, ”Let’s change Ling Feng’s result to seventy-two Fourth-rank Demon Pills, ranking him in the top ten among all new disciples! Master Su, what do you think about this?”

Su Qingxuan quickly nodded, ”Yes, thank you for the reminder, Vice Dean. I understand. I will make sure the students do not spread word about this.”

”Good, then that’s settled,” Tong Chengtai waved his hand, ”You may go now.”

Su Qingxuan bowed to Tong Chengtai and slowly exited the office, secretly admiring his act of ”protecting the student.”

As expected of the deeply experienced Vice Dean, he had his ways!

However, as soon as Su Qingxuan left, Tong Chengtai’s expression darkened, and he muttered resentfully, ”Ling Feng, daring to surpass the Grand Commandant Mansion’s young master (Lee Bufan)! Boy, don’t blame me, the Dean; after all, I’m doing this for your own good too! Hmph!”

With another flourish of his pen, Ling Feng’s results were altered to seventy-two Middle Lower Grade Fourth-rank Demon Pills, while Lee Bufan’s record showed seventy-two Middle Upper Grade Fourth-rank Demon Pills.

In the final ranking, Lee Bufan was still above Ling Feng!
