Xia Chen, Guo Ran, and the others nodded in agreement. The warriors who awakened their Heavenly Fate Disks later had no choice but to do so because the dragon souls in them were too strong. Their dragon souls wanted to recover to their peak condition, which meant they needed more energy. Only once the dragon soul was fully recovered could it merge with its master’s power and awaken the Heavenly Fate Disk on top of this foundation.

Back in the sovereign dragon blood pool, the Dragonblood warriors had formed a resonance with dragon souls that matched their hearts and souls. This bond was eternal, binding them together through life and death. With two entities in one body, balance was essential. If the dragon soul lacked energy, the warrior wouldn’t be able to awaken their Heavenly Fate Disk.

The more energy they needed, the stronger their dragon soul was. When their Heavenly Fate Disk appeared, the initial pressure was already so terrifying. Thus, if their true manifestation were fully awakened, their power could increase a hundredfold. That was a frightening thought.

Normally, the position of the squad leaders wouldn’t change too much. Even if someone lost their spot, they would likely reclaim it soon after. However, with some Dragonblood warriors possessing terrifyingly powerful Heavenly Fate Disks, perhaps there would be significant changes among the ranks.

“Suddenly, I’m feeling some pressure,” said Li Qi as he looked at the Dragonblood warriors’ Heavenly Fate Disks.

“It’s fine. If anyone beats me, I’ll happily give them my position,” added Song Mingyuan casually, seemingly unaffected by this pressure.

All the Dragonblood warriors were as close as brothers, never resenting anyone for taking their spots. The positions mattered little to them; the only reason they even competed was to make sure the strongest brothers picked up the heaviest burdens. If they were to slack off, they would be putting their brothers in danger.

Soon, all the Dragonblood Legion members had awakened their Heavenly Fate Disks, filling them with high spirits and a renewed sense of purpose. They looked at Long Chen with reverence, marveling at how he had turned them all into Heavenly Chosens. This kind of ability was absolutely heaven-defying.

Once the Dragonblood warriors were done, they returned to the academy. Feeling their powerful fluctuations, everyone in the academy was stunned. Just what had happened in this one day?

Upon their return, Long Chen, using his authority as the dean, summoned all the disciples who had awakened a Heavenly Fate Disk, including those from the branch and head academies. Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole joined them as well. Bai Shishi, however, appeared anxious and guilt-ridden, which caught Long Chen’s attention.

He quietly asked her, “What’s wrong?”

“I… I’m sorry. Long Chen, I think I made big sister Qingxuan angry… She said she wanted to stay in the Pill Institute and didn’t want to come with us to the Dragon Domain,” Bai Shishi explained, her voice trembling with anxiety. She was almost in tears.

.

After Yu Qingxuan brought Bai Shishi away, she asked Bai Shishi to look after Long Chen in the Dragon Domain and keep him in check.

Bai Shishi was startled, thinking that she had made Yu Qingxuan angry due to her show of jealousy. While Yu Qingxuan had expressed her desire to stay behind to use the divine statue’s power to comprehend the eighth volume of the Nirvana Scripture, Bai Shishi was convinced that her actions were the real cause.

After all, when Long Chen hugged Yu Qingxuan in front of everyone, Bai Shishi didn’t like that feeling. However, that wasn’t because she was jealous of Yu Qingxuan, but simply because she was a woman. Bai Shishi felt so embarrassed, and no matter how Yu Qingxuan tried to explain it, Bai Shishi felt like Yu Qingxuan was blaming her.

While explaining it to Long Chen, Bai Shishi felt like a convict on trial, her worried gaze truly heartbreaking. Long Chen smiled at her and responded, “You’re overthinking it. Qingxuan isn’t such a person. If anyone should apologize, it’s me.”

Bai Shishi instantly felt relieved. She might not have believed Yu Qingxuan’s explanation, but she trusted Long Chen’s words.

Yu Qingxuan was naturally kind, often keeping her emotions hidden to avoid making others unhappy. However, this led to misunderstandings with Bai Shishi. Long Chen knew that while he bore the bulk of the Pill Sovereign’s memories, having gone through countless reincarnations, Yu Qingxuan must have sensed something.

Ever since Lord Brahma killed the Pill Sovereign, no new Pill Sovereign had appeared in this world. Perhaps to avoid Lord Brahma’s attention or escape karmic retribution, the Pill Sovereign was referred to as the Pill Ancestor here. Long Chen didn’t know if Yu Qingxuan would eventually awaken those memories, but he didn’t want to force her. He only wished for her happiness, free from the burdens of the past.

Long Chen actually prayed that she wouldn’t awaken those painful memories. He wished he could lift the sky on his shoulders so that she wouldn’t have to carry the burden. He would avenge her himself. After all, this blood debt needed to be repaid a thousand times over.

Bai Shishi felt much better after Long Chen’s response. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Chosen disciples of the High Firmament Academy had gathered. The head academy’s disciples were eager, while those from the first branch academy were rather apprehensive.

After all, Long Chen had slain many from their ranks, including vice deans, Elders, and fellow disciples. Long Chen’s ruthless methods terrified them. Although they also idolized his martial power, they were afraid of his bloody style.

“As the dean of the academy, it’s my duty to lead and strengthen the academy quickly. The first academy is now in disarray, and I, Long Chen, must take responsibility. Today, I’ve summoned you to offer a batch of good fortune to compensate for the damage caused by eliminating those wicked interlopers,” Long Chen announced.

The head academy’s disciples felt their blood heating up. They understood Long Chen far too well. If he was saying that he had good fortune for them, then it had to be something amazing.

As for the first academy’s disciples, seeing how excited the head academy’s disciples became, they were also affected. They wanted to know what kind of fortune Long Chen had in store.

“As Heavenly Chosens who have entered the Eternal realm, you now possess the qualifications to awaken your Heavenly Fate manifestation. Only by doing so can you truly unleash your Heavenly Fate Disk’s power and become true Heavenly Chosens. I can’t guarantee that everyone will awaken their manifestation, but I promise that at least half of you will,” Long Chen declared.

“What?!”

The first academy’s disciples were all shocked by Long Chen’s announcement. Ye Ziwen couldn’t help but shout, “Dean Long Chen, are you being serious?”

BOOM!

In response, Long Chen waved his hand, and an enormous tree appeared in the sky, its leaves spreading over the entire academy. Multicolored light flowed across its branches, and the leaves shimmered like colored glass. The moment it appeared, everyone froze in awe.
