Chapter 1753: Chapter 1753: Chen Yingsheng Nearly Died
Upon hearing Chen Yingsheng’s question, Tang Chang explained, “Vice Hall Master Chen, you might not know, but Xiaotian’s combat power is very strong.”
However, before he could finish explaining, Chen Yingsheng raised his hand to interrupt, “I know his combat power is very strong, and I know he possesses the seven great Sacred Bodies and two Kaitian Divine Avatars.”
“But he has just broken through to the Saint First Layer Realm.”
“Are you trying to say that someone at the Saint First Layer Realm can kill a Great Saint Fourth Layer Black Ant?”
Tang Chang was momentarily speechless.
Indeed, Yang Xiaotian’s combat power is terrifying, but to say that someone at the Saint First Layer Realm could kill a Great Saint Fourth Layer Black Ant was hard to believe.
Chen Yingsheng looked at Yang Xiaotian, “This Great Saint Fourth Layer Black Ant, it must have been that Nan Tian monster by your side who killed it for you, right?”
“According to the rules of Hongmeng Academy, disciples who cheat on trial tasks will not only be expelled from the academy but also punished based on the severity of the situation!”
Xiao Hong, Liu Bo, and other disciples looked on with glee.
Just as Chen Yingsheng was about to continue speaking, Yang Xiaotian suddenly interrupted, taking out a stone and saying to Tang Chang, “Dean, this is a Memory Stone that recorded the process of me killing each Black Ant.”
Before participating in the trial task, Yang Xiaotian sensed something was wrong, so he secretly recorded the process of killing each Black Ant with this Memory Stone.
Tang Chang took it and infused it with Holy Power in front of everyone.
Instantly, the Memory Stone shone brightly.
Scene after scene was projected out.
These images were clearly the scenes of Yang Xiaotian killing the Black Ants.
And each Black Ant was recorded distinctly.
A total of 3,769 ants.
After the Memory Stone finished playing, Yang Xiaotian cupped his hands to Tang Chang and said, “Dean, is there a rule in the academy on how to punish those who slander academy disciples by accusing them of cheating?”
Chen Yingsheng, shocked by the images of Yang Xiaotian killing Great Saint Fourth Layer Black Ants, responded in anger, pointing at Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, how dare you!”
“You, a mere Outer Sect disciple, actually dare to disrespect me!”
“Do you believe that me.”
However, before he could finish, Yang Xiaotian’s eyes turned cold, “What about it?”
At this moment, a killing intent locked onto Chen Yingsheng, and his face turned grim as he knew well from whom this intent originated.
His eyes chilled, “Yang Xiaotian, do you really think that having that Nan Tian monster by your side means you can do whatever you want in Hongmeng Academy?”
“Hongmeng Academy is not a place where you can act as you wish!”
Yang Xiaotian responded coldly, “Hongmeng Academy is also not a place where you can act as you wish!”
Chen Yingsheng’s face turned ugly, and he snorted coldly at Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, don’t think that just because you have a Hundred Thousand Circles Sacred Wheel and two Kaitian Level Divine Avatars, the Hongmeng Academy will give you special treatment!”
“If one day you break the rules of Hongmeng Academy, the academy will deal with you without mercy!”
After saying that, he rose into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
Yang Xiaotian watched the departing figure of Chen Yingsheng, his expression cold.
Subsequently, Hongmeng Academy tallied and reported the number of Black Ants killed by Xiao Hong, Liu Bo, and other disciples.
Ultimately, Yang Xiaotian won first place in this trial task.
Just like before, Yang Xiaotian received the first-place reward: a Ninety Million Year Divine Medicine, a thousand units of Ninth Layer Dao Holy Water, and a million Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones.
If Yang Xiaotian had just joined Hongmeng Academy, these rewards would have been extremely generous, but for the current Yang Xiaotian, they were insignificant.
Even Master Ding no longer needed the Ninth Layer Dao Holy Water.
The Ninth Layer Dao Holy Water no longer served significant purposes for him and Master Ding.
After distributing the first-place trial rewards, Tang Chang apologized to Yang Xiaotian, “Xiaotian, don’t take to heart what happened with Chen Yingsheng.”
“He is himself and doesn’t represent the main campus.”
Yang Xiaotian nodded, “Dean, I understand.” He then cupped his hands, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to cultivate.” After saying this, he left into the sky, returning to Cave Mansion No. 1.
Back at the cave mansion, thinking of Chen Yingsheng, Yang Xiaotian’s expression turned cold.
Suddenly, he felt a strong urge to join the Hongmeng Academy’s main campus.
Originally, he didn’t care much about whether or not he joined the main campus.
But now, his urge to join the main campus was incredibly strong.
Wasn’t Chen Yingsheng trying to make him leave Hongmeng Academy?
He would not comply with the other’s wishes; not only would he not leave, but he would also join the main campus!
For the time being, Yang Xiaotian went nowhere; he focused on cultivating hard.
He trained in the 101 Sword Path Holy Techniques given by Master Ding.
He trained in the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique and the various Sacred Bodies.
Among the 101 Sword Path Holy Techniques given by Master Ding, a few had not yet reached Summit Mastery.
This time he aimed to master the remaining Sword Path Holy Techniques to Summit Mastery.
Moreover, the trip to the Sea of Black Ants made him increasingly aware of the importance of the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique and Supreme Holy Body.
He needed to quickly cultivate the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique to the Twenty-Seven Layer.
While Yang Xiaotian was in seclusion cultivating Holy Techniques and Sacred Bodies, Tang Chang and Xie Qiu received news that Chen Yingsheng, on his way back to the Hongmeng Academy’s main campus, was attacked by a mysterious person and almost got killed.
If Chen Yingsheng hadn’t used the Ancient Escape Talisman to flee, he might not have survived.
Upon learning of this news, Tang Chang and Xie Qiu had peculiar expressions.
However, Yang Xiaotian’s conflict with people from the academy’s main campus left them feeling helpless and troubled.
“Let’s hope the Ancestral Master returns soon,” Tang Chang sighed.
For these past decades, with the Hongmeng Ancestral Master absent, dark currents surged within the academy.
If this continues, the academy might be overtaken by the Six Paths Academy.
The Three Pure Continents have two major academies.
One is the Hongmeng Academy, and the other is the Six Paths Academy.
The two academies are inherently incompatible; without the Hongmeng Ancestral Master these decades, the Six Paths Academy has been active, and with external threats already present, if internal conflicts arise, the Hongmeng Academy might fall from glory.
The two were filled with concern.
Two months passed.
Yang Xiaotian finally mastered all 101 Sword Path Holy Techniques given by Master Ding to Summit Mastery.
Adding the four from the Black Ant Imperial Palace, he was now 95 Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Techniques away from cultivating the strongest Eternal Dao Heart.
However, the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique was still a bit short of breaking through to the Twenty-Seven Layer.
Nonetheless, the Supreme Holy Body had already reached the Twenty-Seven Layer.
Although the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique had not yet reached the Twenty-Seven Layer, Yang Xiaotian was confident he could master it within three months.
Yang Xiaotian left Hongmeng Academy and returned to the Heavenly Fire Royal Mansion.
Zuo Meng, Li Gu, and others quickly reported all the news they had gathered over these days to Yang Xiaotian upon his return.
When he learned that the Star Robe Empire’s Astral Chamber of Commerce was going to auction two Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Technique Secret Manuals, Yang Xiaotian’s eyes lit up, “Oh, the Astral Chamber of Commerce is going to auction two Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Technique Secret Manuals.”
