This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Blood splattered, and a head shot into the sky. The fatty’s sword was now in Long Chen’s hand; it was the very weapon that had just severed its master’s head.

“Murderer! Killer!” The disciples of the academy were terrified out of their minds and hastily ran back into the academy.

The hopeful experts who had gathered for the trials were equally horrified, their faces drained of color. None of them dared to move a muscle.

The girl was also stunned, not having expected Long Chen to kill people in front of the High Firmament Academy’s gates.

“Come with me,” said Long Chen.

Just like that, Long Chen walked toward the gate. The girl exchanged glances with her brother, their minds blank.

Seeing Long Chen getting further away, the girl gritted her teeth and ran over. Her brother could only follow.

.

When Long Chen reached the gates, a half-step Heavenly Chosen appeared and attacked Long Chen with his sword.

“Who dares to run rampant in the High Firmament Academy? You’ve grown tired of living, is that it? Today, I’ll tear you into a thousand pieces—” shouted the half-step Heavenly Chosen.

In response, Long Chen swung his sword, and the half-step Heavenly Chosen was obliterated into a thousand pieces, his blood splattering across the gates of the academy. Long Chen’s expression was grim as he continued forward, still holding the sword.

“If the High Firmament Academy that I worked so hard to reclaim has turned into this, I’m willing to destroy it,” Long Chen muttered, his voice like a devil’s whisper sweeping over the land.

Everyone who heard him felt their souls tremble. His voice carried such overwhelming killing intent that it felt as though a mere thought could turn them to dust.

Suddenly, the sound of a bell echoed through the air, followed by an ear-piercing alarm that shook the entire academy. Countless powerful auras surged in response.

However, Long Chen ignored them all and continued walking into the academy. Beyond the gates, he saw countless figures rushing about, laying the foundations for new buildings. The craftsmen were frozen in shock at the sight of him.

Without sparing them a glance, Long Chen pressed on. Soon, a group of academy disciples in inner academy robes appeared before him, led by a Heavenly Chosen.

“Who are you?! Why are you barging into the High Firmament Academy?!” shouted that Heavenly Chosen.

“Not bad, at least you’re asking what’s going on before attacking,” said Long Chen casually. “However, you aren’t qualified to question me. Move!”

“How brazen!” The Heavenly Chosen’s face twisted in anger as he reached for the sword at his waist. But before he could fully unsheath it, Long Chen’s swift kick sent it flying from his grip.

The disciple was stunned as Long Chen’s kick not only disarmed him but also sent both the sword and its sheath soaring through the air. The sword pierced through the bases of three large buildings in its path, continuing without losing momentum until it vanished beyond the horizon.

The group of disciples stood frozen in shock, their jaws dropping. After all, the foundation of the three buildings had been completed, and the formations carved on top of them were already in effect. As the most important part of the building, the foundation was the most solid part. Even a Heaven Saint’s full-power attack might not necessarily be able to damage it.

Yet, this seemingly impenetrable foundation was effortlessly torn through. What made it even more terrifying was that the disciple’s sword was just an ordinary Heaven Saint divine weapon. Even if the Heavenly Chosen had used the sword’s tip, piercing those tough walls would have been nearly impossible. Yet, sheathed as it was, it had sliced through the buildings like paper.

The straight line through the three buildings was a testament to the overwhelming force behind Long Chen’s kick. The onlookers were visibly shaken, their bodies quivering with fear. Meanwhile, Long Chen walked right past them, his presence like a cold wind.

“Don’t draw your sword so lightly.” Long Chen’s icy voice cut through the silence. “The moment you draw your sword, it means you become my enemy, and I never have mercy on my enemies.”

They had never seen someone so terrifying before. Long Chen had not released any aura at all, but his movements, gaze, and voice had triggered a deep, primal fear within them.

Those disciples hastily opened a path for him, obediently letting him through. The girl and her brother followed closely behind, their faces pale with fear from the overwhelming auras of the disciples. But with no other option, they pressed on.

Long Chen continued onward. As they went on, more experts appeared. Those who had witnessed how easily Long Chen had kicked the previous expert’s sword away were too terrified to act. However, the newcomers were unaware of it. Seeing an initial Eternal disciple bringing along two people with pitifully weak auras, someone decided to pounce on him.

“Brat—!” the Heavenly Chosen began, but the words never fully escaped his lips.

Before he could finish, Long Chen casually slapped him aside. The force of the blow sent the Heavenly Chosen flying into a distant wall with a deafening crash. The unfinished building he was slammed into crumbled instantly. The impact embedded him deep into a stone wall, causing large cracks to spiderweb across the solid surface. The Heavenly Chosen was left stuck in the wall, his body motionless. Hence, no one knew whether he was alive or dead.

“How arrogant! Are you challenging the High Firmament Academy?!” shouted a figure that had just appeared in the air.

It was a handsome man with a rainbow spear on his back. When he released his aura, his Doyen power raged, shaking the void.

“Rank ten of the Heaven Rankings, Ye Ziwen! Heavens, even he’s appeared!”

“Hahaha, now there’ll be a show!”

Countless people cried out, recognizing this famous figure in the academy.

“Senior apprentice-brother Ziwen, this person is incredibly arrogant! He has killed two of the academy’s disciples! Hurry and kill him—”

Before the words were fully out of this expert’s mouth, Long Chen reached out through space. The crowd gasped as the speaker was abruptly yanked from his position and flew straight into Long Chen’s grasp, his cry of shock echoing through the air.

After that, Long Chen clenched his hand and crushed that person into pieces.

“What a hateful person. He should have kept his mouth shut,” remarked Long Chen coldly.

Without hesitation, Long Chen killed a disciple of the academy in front of so many people, his action enraging Ye Ziwen.

“You go too far!” Ye Ziwen roared, insulted that Long Chen dared to act so brazenly in front of him. His rainbow spear materialized in his hand, and a radiant surge of divine energy exploded from his Heavenly Fate Disk.

BOOM!

The spear emitted a powerful force as seven kinds of energy swirled together, forming a powerful attack that thrust at Long Chen.

Following that, a scene that horrified everyone played out. Ye Ziwen’s heaven-shaking strike was stopped cold. Long Chen caught the spear’s tip with his bare hands, effortlessly halting it. With a swift motion, Long Chen shoved the spear back toward its owner.

BOOM!

The spear’s pole slammed into Ye Ziwen’s chest, creating a fist-sized hole. Ye Ziwen was sent flying backward, blood spraying as he tumbled through the air.

“What?!” gasped the onlookers, unable to comprehend what they had just witnessed.
