Chapter 7158 Yumo

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

During this training, the plaza had been locked down. Even the higher-ups were unaware of what was going on inside. Furthermore, the academy was on lockdown during this time. Multiple formations were activated, and it was impossible for any information to leak out. From the outside, the academy looked much like a turtle, covered in layers of barriers as if they were anticipating the arrival of some powerful enemy.

The higher-ups, the senior generation, the outer disciples, and even the workers of the academy had now all gathered around the plaza. When they saw Zhao Yue, Du Xinhe, Ye Qiuhong, and the others for the first time in three days, they were all shocked. Every single one of them looked like an entirely new person.

Their gazes were all icy and sharp, and their entire bodies radiated formless killing intent that made people’s hearts shake. They no longer seemed like a group of students squabbling for petty things, but like an army of warriors who had just crawled out of a bloody hell. They didn’t even need to release their auras. Just by virtue of their sheer presence, they gave the onlookers a mountain-like sense of pressure.

The people couldn’t believe their eyes. “Heavens, what did they go through during these three days?”

Then, when Long Chen arrived, Miao Yin’s heart shook. In just three days, Long Chen’s aura had also undergone a massive change. It was more massive and solid, like refined steel. Clearly, he had also made gains after that last battle.

Miao Yin couldn’t help being stunned. Long Chen’s incredible power was clearly built on a foundation of fighting to survive. Battles against peak experts were his stepping stones.

Zhao Yue and the others also sensed the change in Long Chen. They all felt ashamed of themselves when they saw that someone as powerful as Long Chen was seizing every chance in order to get stronger. Even in front of a terrifying being like Ying Luo, he had fearlessly attacked, and he had managed to reverse the tides of a seemingly unwinnable battle. And even after completely going past his limits, he had relied on sheer willpower to remain standing. He had managed to endure until the end and beyond.

Compared to Long Chen, they really did have it easy. They were too ashamed to show their faces, especially Du Xinhe and the others. They all thought that if they were able to beat all their competitors in the academy, they would be qualified to call themselves king and sit upon Long Chen’s throne. Now, they were all well aware that they had been just frogs at the bottom of a well. They had no idea about what was going on in the outside world. Now it was time to wake up from this foolish dream.

Long Chen’s gaze swept over them. He nodded slightly. “I suppose you’ve done decently overall. But some people still haven’t improved enough!”

He didn’t mention anyone by name, but amid the crowd, Zhao Yue felt her heart gripped by a steel claw. She felt like she was definitely one of those people.

“Let the trial begin!”

Long Chen didn’t bother with any kind of speech or explanations. He simply waved his hand, and a mass of colored glass leaves appeared in front of everyone. Those leaves each contained a little pocket dimension. Everyone was sucked into one of those spaces, and there, they found themselves surrounded by ten of themselves. With that, the trial started.

Everyone outside could see what was happening inside each of the leaves. When they saw that the disciples were truly fighting ten of themselves, the spectators gasped.

BOOM!

In just a few breaths, one of the leaves blew apart. A suntanned man appeared before them.

“Is that… a pass?”

“He killed ten of himself that quickly?!”

“Heavens, is this real?”

“Who is he? How come I don’t know someone this powerful?!?”

Countless people were shocked. The first person to pass had managed to do so incredibly fast, and it was actually not one of the group leaders but an unknown figure.

This man placed his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed to Long Chen in an ancient style.

Long Chen said, “Did you come with Long Ziwei’s group?”

“Yes, Dean. My name is Yumo, and I am one of the Jiuli race’s vassals. Thanks to you, I was able to enroll in the academy and I have become an inner disciple.”

Back in the Heavenly Desolation Domain, Long Chen had almost completely destroyed the Long clan’s branch there. But there were also other people of the Jiuli bloodline there, people who had a status no different from random mercenaries. The Long clan had been oppressing them, as their bloodline was not pure enough, but Long Chen freed them and brought them to the academy.

Within the academy, they received no special treatment, but they also weren’t bullied. They were able to grow in the academy through their own efforts. The youngsters could naturally go through trials to become disciples, and Yumo had managed to reach the inner academy all on his own.

However, he was very low-key, and didn’t join any groups or compete. He had kept to himself all this time. Thus, even in the inner academy, there weren’t many people who knew him. No one had expected someone like him to be the first to pass the trial.

Long Chen corrected him. “I told you this already, but there is no such thing as a vassal of the Jiuli race in the academy. Your origins don’t matter here.”

“Yes, Dean!” said Yumo gratefully.

“The reason you were the first to pass isn’t because you are the strongest, but because your improvement was the greatest. That shows that you’ve comprehended many things in these three days, and you are practically a new person. In that case, you should also become a new person in another way. Take this!” Long Chen flicked his finger, sending a pill flying towards Yumo.

Yumo hastily caught it. When his hand touched the pill, his bloodline power erupted like a volcano, and he had to struggle to contain it. He felt a practically fanatical desire for this pill!

“Dean Long Chen…” Yumo’s voice quivered. Although he had the Jiuli race’s bloodline within him, that bloodline was just a trace. There could only be one possible reason this medicinal pill was causing his bloodline power to go into a frenzy—the pill contained the purest bloodline power of the Jiuli race!

Indeed, Long Chen had created some pills after killing some heavenly geniuses of the Jiuli race.

Yumo had grown to this level with a Jiuli bloodline that could hardly be any thinner. That was an incredible feat. This pill would allow him to transform once more, and Long Chen believed that he could definitely reach the ranks of the top heavenly geniuses. Although he might not be stronger than Du Xinhe, he should at least attain the same level.

Seeing that Yumo was too emotional to speak, Long Chen transmitted, “Take it. As I said, you don’t owe the Jiuli race anything. In fact, it is the Jiuli race that owes you. Take this pill and work hard on getting stronger. You’ll have to win face for your people, and bring honor to your brothers and sisters. I have more pills like this. Let your people see that changing your fate isn’t impossible.”

Yumo’s eyes reddened. Consuming this pill meant that he was no longer a mere vassal of the Jiuli race, but a true member with the purest bloodline. Even if he went back, he would never again be considered inferior because of his bloodline. He held back his tears and bowed once more to Long Chen; then, he went to a quiet spot in the back and wasted no time consuming the pill.

Meanwhile, more and more masses of colored glass leaves blew apart, and multiple powerful auras erupted.
