Miao Miao's impulsive rebuke of Ji Dong made the board members of the Heavenly Stem Academy rejoice in his misfortune. When Ji Dong mentioned that the person he wanted to challenge was actually the Thunder Emperor Fury, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief. Originally, they thought that if Ji Dong wanted to challenge someone, he would definitely choose one of them, or even Dean Ji Mingxuan. This was the only logical choice. None of them were willing to accept Ji Dong's challenge. Not to mention what would happen if they lost, even if they won, what glory would it bring to their faces? How old was Ji Dong? He was at most twenty-two or twenty-three years old. A battle with him would be disadvantageous for the board members. Moreover, among all the board members present, even Ji Mingxuan who had already left, none of them dared to say that they could win against Ji Dong. This brat was famous for being abnormal. Didn't you see that his hair had already turned white from training?
Ji Dong's request to challenge Fury was exactly what they wanted. They still didn't understand what Ji Dong meant by this, but it was fine as long as he didn't challenge them. Moreover, if Ji Dong challenged Fury, regardless of who won or lost, it wouldn't affect the Heavenly Stem Academy in any way. This was a spar between fellow disciples, and it had nothing to do with the students of the two academies. Moreover, Fury's strength was obvious to all. Among the board members of the Heavenly Stem Academy, no one dared to say that they were stronger than him. Fury possessed the ultimate Yang Thunder Devil, and he also had the Thunder Hell Divine Axe, as well as the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon that had already entered the ninth rank and was advancing towards the tenth rank. These board members were even somewhat looking forward to this battle. Ji Dong challenging Fury could be said to be a battle between the strongest of the younger generation.
Huang Lixin was afraid that the situation would change, so he said without hesitation, "Since Vice-Dean Ji Dong wants to challenge our Director Fury, I will agree to it. However, I can't guarantee whether Director Fury will accept the challenge. Just now, Miss Miao Miao already said that Director Fury's current situation isn't too good. I'll have to ask Vice-Dean Ji Dong to personally negotiate with him."
Ji Dong nodded and said, "Since that's the case, please make preparations for the Yin-yang Hall. Tomorrow morning, we will have an exchange." As he spoke, he had already stood up. Since the matter was settled, there was no need for him to stay any longer. These directors were not willing to deal with him, and he was tired of looking at them.
Huang Lixin heaved a sigh of relief and quickly left with a group of directors. On the surface, Ji Mingxuan didn't participate in this exchange, but in reality, it was obvious that he was here to ease the atmosphere. Now that there was an outcome, he had to report to Hyōhime and Mingxuan as soon as possible.
Huang Lixing and the other board members of the Heavenly Stem Academy nodded. Ji Dong, on the other hand, sat down and wasn't in a hurry to leave. He knew that his companions all had many questions waiting for him to answer.
At this moment, Miao Miao rushed back from outside. As soon as she entered, her beautiful eyes stared at Ji Dong and said, "Ji Dong, what's the meaning of this? Don't tell me you don't care about our brotherhood? Why did you disturb Fury?"
Ji Dong looked at her indifferently and said, "Miao Miao, I'll only ask you one thing. For the past year, none of you have disturbed Senior Brother. Has he been well?"
Miao Miao and the others couldn't help but be stunned by this question. Ji Dong continued, "You said that I don't understand Senior Brother's pain. You're wrong. I should say that no one understands what he's going through better than me. Because I'm also going through the same thing. Senior Sister Ye Xin is dead, my Flaming Bar is also dead. We brothers share the same fate. Under these circumstances, do you think I would hit Senior Brother Fury when he's down?"
Miao Miao was rendered speechless by Ji Dong's question. Her mind instantly cleared up and she felt her companions' burning gazes on her. She immediately felt a little embarrassed and her previous domineering aura disappeared without a trace. Her charming face even became a little flushed as she lowered her head and said, "Ji Dong, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive. It's just that Fury's situation isn't looking good right now. I was too impatient."
Ji Dong smiled slightly and said, "We're all companions. It's only right for us to care for each other. Too much worry leads to chaos, I understand." As he spoke, he looked at Miao Miao with a meaningful gaze. Miao Miao didn't dare to meet his gaze and quickly turned her head away and sat down at the side.
"Boss, should we hold back a little during the student exchange tomorrow? Right now, the Yin Yang Hall is in our hands. Don't worry, we definitely won't make things difficult for these juniors." The one who spoke was Bissou. He had also come with the crowd. Now that he was ranked fourth in the Yin Yang Hall, his status was no longer the same as before. He was also a hero who had survived a disaster. He wasn't wrong at all. The top four, Leng Yue, Zhu Gui, Carr, and him, could all be said to have a close relationship with Ji Dong. As long as Ji Dong said a word, it wouldn't be impossible for them to go easy.
Ji Dong's expression became serious and he said solemnly, "Bissou, go back and tell Leng Yue, Zhu Gui, and Carr that in tomorrow's exchange, not only can you not go easy, you have to go all out. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you relax, I'm afraid you'll lose very badly. For tomorrow's battle, I have more than 80% confidence. Prepare well and don't let me down."
"Ah? Boss, you're serious? " Bissou looked at Ji Dong in shock. He had always thought that Ji Dong was just going through the motions this time. To be more accurate, among everyone present, perhaps only Chen Sixuan could understand the true purpose of Ji Dong's exchange. The others were all confused. Of course, if that wasn't the case, the Heavenly Stem Academy's board of directors wouldn't be so clueless.
Ji Dong said in a low voice, "Do I look like I'm joking? This exchange is very important. Bissou, your Yin Yang Hall must go all out. In tomorrow's battle, I won't let my students go easy."
Bissou scratched his head and said, "Boss, let's not talk about this for now. You've finally come back. I'll go find Leng Yue and the others now. They must be very eager to see you." After saying that, he bid farewell to everyone and turned to leave.
Ji Dong stood up and faced the group of students he had brought with him. He said indifferently, "You must all be very curious. Why did I say I would challenge ten students ranked in the top thirty of Yin Yang Hall, but now it has become thirty, a situation where the numbers are equal."
The students of Blazing Academy's Sun Moon Hall subconsciously nodded. This was indeed the biggest question in their minds. Every one of them was nervous. Facing the Yin Yang Hall with equal numbers, did they have a chance of winning? They weren't on the same level at all. What kind of strength did they have?
Ji Dong said indifferently, "I didn't lie to you, and it wasn't a sudden change of plans. However, there is one thing you might not understand. Three months ago, I told you to face ten students ranked in the top thirty of Yin Yang Hall. That referred to the Yin Yang Hall before the calamity of the Holy Evil Island, not the current one. Bissou is my good brother. Before the calamity of the Holy Evil Island, he was ranked in the top thirty of the Yin Yang Hall. Now, he is ranked fourth. The current Yin Yang Hall can't be compared to before. Only by challenging all the students ranked in the top thirty can I achieve my goal. I will personally command you in tomorrow's battle. This time, I will let you see whether the three months of hard work has been in vain. I will also let everyone see whether our Blazing Academy is a low level academy."
Hearing Ji Dong's words, the students of Sun Moon Hall, besides understanding, were even more aghast. They had never thought that the challenge Teacher Ji Dong mentioned before was actually before the calamity of the Holy Evil Island.
"Chen Sixuan." Ji Dong called out.
"Yes, Teacher Ji Dong." Chen Sixuan stood up. Her perfect figure could always become the focus of everyone at any time. Although she was wearing a veil, when the gazes of the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples fell on her, they still couldn't help but reveal astonishment.
"Take everyone back to the hotel first. I still have something to do here and will be back in a moment. Tomorrow is the exchange. Go back and consolidate your cultivation. Don't be too hasty. Tomorrow, I want to see each of you in your best condition."
"Yes." The 30 students of Sun Moon Hall stood up in unison. At the same time, Hyōhime bowed in response. Now they had thought it through. Teacher Ji Dong had brought them many miracles. With so many miracles already, they didn't mind doing it again. Moreover, tomorrow's battle would be personally commanded by Teacher Ji Dong. Others might not understand the meaning of the word command, but how could they not understand? Teacher Ji Dong's magical spiritual power would undoubtedly allow them to exert their respective strengths to the greatest extent. Teacher Ji Dong was so confident, so what else did they have to worry about?
Chen Sixuan glanced at Ji Dong again, then withdrew her gaze. She stood up and led the students away. At this time, only Yun Tianji, Ji Yeshang, and the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples were left in the conference room.
Ji Yeshang also stood up and said, "Ji Dong, I should also go back. Tomorrow morning, Grandpa and I will be on time." With that, he also left in a hurry.
Ji Dong returned to his seat. At this moment, the atmosphere in the room had already started to become somewhat oppressive.
Ah Jin took a deep breath. Seeing Hyōhime move, he said, "How did Master die?" As she spoke, she walked in front of Ji Dong and took off the Core of Life around her neck as well as the Vermillion Bird Bracelet on her wrist that had evolved into a milky white color with golden phoenix patterns. She quietly placed them in front of Ji Dong.
The muscles on Ji Dong's face twitched. He knew that Ah Jin wasn't the only one who wanted to ask this question. Even if Ji Yeshang had already told them, it was only on the surface. He couldn't hide anything from his companions. At the same time, there was also the matter of adding two Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples.
Sorrow and emptiness gradually replaced the strength and pride in Ji Dong's eyes. He said, "That day, I returned to the core with the Flaming Bar …"
… …
Outside the Heavenly Stem Academy's school building, Ji Yeshang caught up with Chen Sixuan, who was leading the Blazing Academy students outside. "Miss, why did you call me out?" As it turned out, he hadn't left because he really had something to do. Earlier, Chen Sixuan had secretly sent him a message when no one was paying attention, telling him that she had something important to discuss with Ji Dong and telling him not to reveal it. That was why Ji Yeshang had said goodbye to everyone and chased after her.
"Let's talk as we walk." Chen Sixuan said indifferently. As she spoke, she walked out. Ji Yeshang couldn't help but be stunned by her beautiful voice and perfect figure. He hurriedly followed her and walked beside her.
"Your Highness, I'm Chen Sixuan from the Dongmu Empire. Have you heard of me?" Chen Sixuan said.
Ji Yeshang's eyes shone with a thoughtful light. "From the Dongmu Empire? It sounds a bit familiar. Let me think."
At this time, Chen Sixuan quietly pulled down the veil on her face. "Can I help Your Highness remember now?"
The moment she took off her veil, it was as if all the light in the world had gathered on her. Ji Yeshang's entire body shook violently, and he could no longer tear his eyes away from her face. The teachers and students of the Heavenly Stem Academy seemed to be frozen in place as they stared at Chen Sixuan's perfect face with their eyes wide open.
The veil covered her face again, blocking everyone's gazes. The paralysis seemed to have ended, but countless shocked and regretful gazes didn't seem to disappear. Ji Yeshang even blurted out, "Dongmu Holy Maiden Chen Sixuan, you're that Princess Xuan?"
He had long since heard of Dongmu Holy Maiden Chen Sixuan's title as the world's most beautiful woman, and some busybodies had even compared him to her. Ji Yeshang had always had reservations about this title. He didn't believe there was such a thing as the world's most beautiful woman. In his opinion, every girl had their own unique characteristics.
But when he saw Chen Sixuan today, he realized that his previous judgment was completely wrong. This was the second time he could remember seeing such a breathtaking beauty. The first time was when Ji Dong had brought the Flaming Bar to the academy's ball. There was only the Flaming Bar Queen, but after learning of the Queen's background, he had thought that such a perfect appearance was impossible for a human to possess. But this Dongmu Holy Maiden's perfection had appeared in front of him, and this shock alone left him dumbfounded. It turned out that humans could actually be so perfect.
"I'm now Teacher Ji Dong's assistant, and also a student of Blazing Academy." Chen Sixuan's words pulled Ji Yeshang's dazed mind back to reality.
"Ah, Princess Xuan, you called me out for …" Ji Yeshang asked.
Chen Sixuan said, "If I'm not mistaken, Your Highness should've led the Heavenly Stems to Stupid Rich Hotel to find Teacher Ji Dong, but they didn't. Don't you want to know why we moved out of Stupid Rich Hotel?"
Ji Yeshang's heart stirred. "Why?"
Chen Sixuan's eyes flashed coldly. "Because Stupid Rich Hotel insulted Teacher Ji Dong. With Teacher Ji Dong's pride, how could he have stayed there?"
