I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1297: Chapter 1297: Calculating Against Each Other, Challenging in the Courtyard! Chapter 1297: Chapter 1297: Calculating Against Each Other, Challenging in the Courtyard! The Second Elder lived atop a high peak, where only a small courtyard existed, shrouded in a thick fog. This fog was the immortal aura that had condensed over millions of years on this Spiritual Mountain.

And this rich and pure immortal aura on this peak of the Spiritual Mountain was for the Second Elder’s use alone.

Within the courtyard, various jade artifacts and spirit treasures displayed extravagance.

At this moment, in front of the Second Elder, a man with bare arms, covered in red bloodlines, was kneeling on the ground, his face filled with fear.

“He Xiangwang, although I didn’t stop you from doing this, why did you commit such an obvious act without even properly investigating the opponent’s strength?” the Second Elder frowned and said to the man kneeling on the ground.

He Xiangwang’s expression was also extremely ugly as he explained, “I have investigated their strength. Their realms are indeed impressive, worthy of being called ‘Heavenly’ students. However, I didn’t expect them to adapt to the origin power of the secret realm so quickly.”

Logically speaking, unless one’s realm was outrageously high, like Ancestral Realm, newcomers would still be extremely uncomfortable under the tempering of this origin power and wouldn’t be able to advance far.

Of course, Tan Zongzhao was an exception.

“Perhaps they have also experienced the tempering of origin power before,” He Xiangwang hastily added, “Master, don’t worry, I will find a way to resolve this!”

The Second Elder waved his hand and said, “There’s no need for you to resolve it. Go to Hundred Snake Valley and stay there for half a month.”

Hundred Snake Valley!

Upon hearing the Second Elder’s words, He Xiangwang’s face turned pale.

Even with his strength at half a step into the Ancestral Realm, under the bites of ancient poisonous snakes in Hundred Snake Valley, half a month could cost him half his life.

That place was famously used to punish students.

However, He Xiangwang didn’t dare to defy his master’s command and could only nod in agreement, “I understand.”

“Also, take that subordinate of yours, what’s his name, Liang Qing, and have him stay inside for half a day as well,” the Second Elder added.

By this time, He Xiangwang also understood that the master wished to make it clear to the outside world that he wasn’t personally involved in this matter.

Indeed, after He Xiangwang left,

everyone soon learned that He Xiangwang and Liang Qing were punished by the Second Elder to go to Hundred Snake Valley.

At the same time, the Second Elder declared to the outside world, “Mixed Spirit Academy forbids all unfair competition. Everyone should calm their minds and study, not engage in these petty schemes!”

Upon seeing this message,

Tan Zongzhao and the girl couldn’t help but slam the table in approval.

A very wise way of dealing with the situation.

In this way, the damage to the Second Elder’s reputation could be minimized immediately!

…

On the way to Hundred Snake Valley, Liang Qing had an unsightly expression, saying, “Big Brother He, what should we do now?”

When Liang Qing heard that Blackie and the others had surged up the rankings, he was also extremely shocked.

He Xiangwang sneered, “No problem, didn’t you hear the master only penalize you to stay in Hundred Snake Valley for half a day? With your strength, the limit would be around two days.”

Hearing this, Liang Qing paused, then smirked darkly, nodding and saying, “I got it. Once I get out, I’ll immediately recover to my best condition, then go to Heavenly Court Number Three and challenge them for the small courtyard, proving they don’t deserve Heavenly Court Number Three.”

He Xiangwang nodded in satisfaction.

The thing he was most pleased with about this subordinate was his perceptiveness.

Who wouldn’t like a subordinate with high understanding who got the message with little instruction?

…

Meanwhile, the battle for the rankings continued.

Three days later, Blackie’s ranking in the Refining Sky Tower reached twenty-third place, having ascended to the forty-eighth floor.

Ye Qiubai was ranked twenty-fifth, having defeated the seventeenth Sword Puppet.

At the base of Star Stone Mountain, Shi Sheng’s ranking on the stone tablet reached twenty-first place.

Array Hall, Fang Qiong ranked twenty-second.

Only Mu Fusheng still had not shown any activity.

These past few days could be said to be a one-sided show by Blackie and the others!

“It’s terrifying. It seems that the First Elder had a reason for specially recruiting them. Even his disciple Tan Zongzhao can’t match this kind of talent, right?”

“Talent is multifaceted. It’s possible they have an exceptional affinity with origin power, which is why they adapt so quickly. However, it goes without saying that such talent is also incredibly rare.”

“Right, if their realm were higher, they probably could have ascended even higher.”

“However, I remember there’s another one named Mu Fusheng, right? There’s still no movement on the side of the Violent Thunder Sea.”

“Well, not everyone can be so defiantly extraordinary, right? This person should be the one with the least talent and strength among them. However, to persist this long on the first attempt has already surpassed many.”

At this moment, Blackie also walked out of the Refining Sky Tower.

The old man at the door was still leaning against the wall, sitting on the ground, his snoring deafening.

Seeing this, Blackie slightly bowed and then prepared to leave.

He had not walked many steps when the old man’s voice came from behind, “Your talent is quite good. I hope you will not become enemies of Mixed Spirit Academy in the future.”

Blackie paused, thought for a moment, and said, “As long as Mixed Spirit Academy doesn’t do anything to give us a reason to become enemies, we won’t.”

The old man laughed and nodded, “That’s good. If you ever run into trouble, you can come and ask this old man for advice. Even though I’m just a gatekeeper without much strength, having guarded this place for so many years, I know a lot of things and many people.”

This was his way of forming a good connection with Blackie.

Hearing this, Blackie did not refuse and turned to salute the old man with his fists, “Then, I appreciate it, senior.”

With that, he left.

Three days’ time had thoroughly tempered Blackie’s body. Now, he needed a battle, an exhilarating fight to fully integrate what he obtained these past three days into his body.

And the first person Blackie thought of was Liang Qing.

Hadn’t they said they would issue a challenge after coming out?

Perfect, Blackie would go back and have a spar with Liang Qing.

By the time Blackie returned to the number three Heaven’s Word courtyard, Ye Qiubai and the others were already there.

At the same time, in front of the stone table sat a woman who was very heroic, yet did not lack grace and beauty.

Blackie was puzzled and looked at Ye Qiubai and the others.

Ye Qiubai and the others all smiled.

The woman, however, stood up and approached Blackie, saying, “I hear from Zong Zhao that you love to fight?”

Blackie nodded.

The woman smiled and said, “How about we have a spar? Don’t worry, I’ll suppress my realm.”

The woman’s realm was higher than Tan Zongzhao’s.

She had likely already reached the half-step Ancestral Realm.

Blackie was just about to respond when he heard someone outside shouting, “Liang Qing from number five Heaven’s Word courtyard seeks a fight!”

Hearing that, Blackie said, “It seems our fight will have to be postponed a bit.”

The woman laughed and shook her head, “No worries. If you can’t even handle Liang Qing, then there’s no need for me to spar with you.”

Blackie turned and pushed the door open, saying, “I won’t disappoint you.”

Blackie and the others stepped outside and saw Liang Qing, He Chao, and many other inner courtyard disciples standing outside.

Liang Qing sneered, “What, not hiding anymore?”

Blackie’s expression was cold as he directly asked, “Where shall we spar?”
