Chapter 7151 Special Training
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The aura of the heart-devil faded, and the Two-Face Ghost Wolf’s terror also faded with it. Now it bared its fangs at Long Chen.
Long Chen gazed at the angry Two-Face Ghost Wolf apathetically. “Once I recover, I’ll pluck out those fangs of yours one by one.”
The Two-Face Ghost Wolf shivered. Its tail drooped. It was clearly afraid. It turned towards Miao Yin and started whimpering, seemingly in an attempt to get her to stand up for it.
Everyone was stunned. This terrifying Two-Face Ghost Wolf was actually acting pitiful? It was completely toppling their understanding of the world. Of course, they had no idea how much its character had changed after being enslaved. It was, quite literally, the instant transformation of a wolf into a dog.
Miao Yin snorted disdainfully. “Fool, don’t think that he’s afraid of me just because he gave you to me. If you bare your fangs at him, just get ready to be turned into stew! I won’t be able to stop him!”
She discovered that she had occupied so much of the spiritual contract that it caused the Two-Face Ghost Wolf’s intelligence to regress. Even a smart dog would know that Long Chen was the main character here just based on everyone’s attitudes towards him.
The Two-Face Ghost Wolf huffed aggrievedly, but in the end, it chose to submit. It walked over to Long Chen and knelt down, burying its head under its paws. This showed that it had acknowledged Long Chen as its second master. However, it didn’t roll over onto its back to expose its stomach. It expressed that if Miao Yin gave the order, it would not hesitate to bite this second master.
“Speak. Why could you see him?” asked Long Chen.
The Two-Face Ghost Wolf began to howl. Even with its immense power, it couldn’t speak, and it also couldn’t imitate human language with its will.
People couldn’t understand what it was saying, but Miao Yin was able to understand it through their direct spiritual link, so she translated for Long Chen. “It seems that this Ghost Wolf doesn’t only have two heads, but also two souls. It’s very peculiar. It says that it didn’t see that man; the man was the one who looked at it. It also said that his gaze was terrifying. It felt as if one thought of that man was enough to kill it. It doesn’t know who that man is, but he was wearing white—”
“Alright, I understand!” Long Chen interrupted her. When it came to his heart-devil, the fewer people knew about it, the better. At the same time, he was shocked to hear that it had two souls. Could it be that this Two-Face Ghost Wolf was similar to him in that it also had a heart-devil? But that didn't sound right. Even before the spiritual contract, it had been nothing but a smarter animal, nowhere near as intelligent as a human. How could a lifeform with such low intellect produce a heart-devil?
The Two-Face Ghost Wolf was definitely strange. Long Chen transmitted instructions to Miao Yin, telling her to properly investigate its secrets and quickly gain control over its power. At the same time, he told her not to treat it too well. It was ultimately an outsider devil, and its nature was cruel and savage. In fact, there was a chance that this pitiful appearance was nothing but an act. If it did have two souls, perhaps it was possible that one was smart and one was dumb. Maybe the smart soul had gone into hiding and was waiting to seize a chance to rebel. They had to be wary.
Miao Yin was startled. She had spent all these years being extremely careful, but she had almost fallen for it this time. She definitely had to be on guard for such a thing.
After that, Long Chen turned to Zhao Hongfei. “Vice Dean Hongfei, how were our losses in this battle?”
Zhao Hongfei stepped forward and solemnly reported, “One million seven hundred thirty thousand people on our side died. There are also over two hundred thousand seriously wounded.”
When they heard this report, everyone’s excitement vanished. Those Zhao Hongfei called “seriously wounded” were people who were basically crippled. Forget about advancing, they would be lucky if their cultivation didn’t regress to the point of death. Those that could just take medicine and recuperate weren’t even counted.
In other words, even with Cang Lu, Huo Linger, and Lei Linger leading the way, and even with an absolute advantage in morale and unstoppable momentum, they had suffered almost two million casualties. And these were no random Wang or Zhang; they were all among the High Firmament Academy’s elite disciples. They all had bright futures ahead of them. For them to die here was truly pitiful.
“Dean Long Chen, you shouldn’t feel bad. Even though they are gone, they dragged down powerful experts with them. I’m sure they can still smile in the Yellow Springs,” said a woman with fiery robes. She was a powerful flame cultivator, but her character was more like a smoldering fire than a raging blaze. She was an independent character who refused to join a clique, and she rarely spoke up in public.
“That’s right, this is how battle is. Being able to participate in such an immense battle was worth it!” chimed in another peak heavenly genius.
Long Chen’s expression was gloomy. All their consolation had no effect on him. They quickly fell silent. The atmosphere grew even more frightening, and even though the battle had long since ended, the scent of blood in the air seemed to intensify.
Long Chen finally said, “Sure, battle is battle and casualties are difficult to avoid. But these are two million people we’re talking about. To lose so many comrades when you had such an immense advantage, what the hell were you doing? Don’t tell me you’ve been spending all your time fighting among yourselves for petty things? What the hell did you even start cultivating for? Did your mom and dad force you to? All of you were so arrogant just a few hours ago, but the moment the fight started, you were just a bunch of paper tigers!”
Long Chen’s criticism and his icy face were met with complete silence. No one dared to respond.
Indeed, the casualties were far beyond Long Chen’s initial expectations. He had long since set up his own rules in the first academy. He had thought that the first academy would advance in the right direction, only to find that the first academy had degraded to a ridiculous extent. In terms of true power, they couldn’t even compare to the likes of the Flame God Sect or the Spirit Heart Sect, let alone the Full Moon Sect.
“You know, when I came here, I was excited to hear that there were people who aimed to replace me. I thought that I could finally retire. But what am I seeing instead? The likes of you want to be the leaders here?” Long Chen sneered.
Du Xinhe lowered his head. He didn’t even dare to look at Long Chen. Thinking of his arrogant words back then, he wanted to go into hiding.
In truth, Long Chen had his own reasons for leaving the first academy. He was simply too powerful, and by virtue of his sheer presence, he was suppressing their independent growth. He could train them to some extent, but he could not prop them up forever, so they had to grow on their own.
A true hegemon was not taught, but raised through slaughter. However, this kind of competition and killing had to be aimed towards the outside, not towards your own side. Long Chen had long since become an example for them, but the academy had still ended up like this. It truly disappointed him.
Long Chen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Miao Yin cried out in shock and hastily flew over to support him. Once she held him, she realized that his injuries were even worse than she had imagined. He had severely overdrafted himself. She had no idea how he hadn’t already collapsed.
Seeing Long Chen’s state, the academy’s disciples felt even worse. They were truly ashamed of their state.
Long Chen took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. He announced, “I’ll give you one day to recover. Then I will be holding a special training session over the next three days. Those who pass the training will follow me into battle. Those who don’t will be expelled from the academy!”
