Chu Tianjiao stood up. Although he had achieved a great victory, there was no trace of complacency on his face. On the contrary, he bowed to the Elders of the Emperor Star Academy, "Elders, do you have anything to say?"
Old Gu placed Xue Lengfeng down and glanced at Chu Tianjiao. This person was neither arrogant nor rash, and his talent was extraordinary.
Sadly, his ambitions were too great. He wanted to pacify the entire Chu Country, allowing the Royal Clan to cover the skies with one hand.
Without the Emperor Star Academy, without the Qin Clan, only the Royal Clan reigned supreme.
"Victory and defeat are nothing out of the ordinary. The students of the Emperor Star Academy must remember today's battle and cultivate even harder in the future." Regardless of what Old Gu was thinking in his heart, he couldn't let Chu Tianjiao laugh at him on the surface. After all, although Chu Tianjiao's words were beautiful, who didn't know of his wild ambitions?
"Chu Tianjiao admires senior's breadth of mind. However, I still have to bring up the matter of Qin Yao. I hope that senior can be magnanimous enough to allow Miss Qin Yao to accompany the Crown Prince of Snowcloud back to Chu Tianjiao." Chu Tianjiao was still as polite as before, neither servile nor overbearing.
"You can just ask for Qin Yao's opinion on this matter. How can I make a decision for her?" Old Gu unhappily replied.
"As long as the Elders of the Emperor Star Academy don't obstruct us juniors, it's fine." Chu Tianjiao continued.
"So you want to use force?" A cold light flickered in Old Gu's eyes.
"I don't dare to. This is originally a matter between juniors. It's best for us to handle it ourselves. Of course, if the Emperor Star Academy uses numbers to bully us, or if the Elders obstruct us, I have nothing to say." Chu Tianjiao had pinned the blame on the Emperor Star Academy, causing the spectators to understand his intentions.
Earlier, after he defeated the Emperor Star Academy, he intentionally provoked them. Didn't this mean that the Emperor Star Academy couldn't obstruct them from bringing Qin Yao away? If not, it would mean that the Emperor Star Academy was useless.
"The logic of the 3rd Prince really makes one not know whether to laugh or cry." Old Gu mocked. "According to what you mean, if you win, you can just snatch Qin Yao away? If the Emperor Star Academy doesn't interfere, it would be considered as bullying? What kind of place do you think the Emperor Star Academy is? "
"Since Senior understands it this way, I, Chu Tianjiao, have nothing more to say. If the Emperor Star Academy insists on this, I can only leave. However, the reputation of the Emperor Star Academy wouldn't be too good to hear."
"Didn't the Royal Academy just win a few battles that were arranged beforehand? Why do I feel as though the Royal Academy is standing above the Emperor Star Academy?" Qin Wentian couldn't bear to see this. Although Chu Tianjiao appeared humble, he was actually extremely domineering and domineering.
"The Emperor Star Academy's preparations weren't sufficient, but you guys managed to find a few unknown experts from god-knows-where, and you call this victory? "Qin of Of of Academy." The Academy was "Of the Qin". "Academy of of of Of, Academy," Emperor of the Of the Academy of. of of the Of Of Tianof Academy, of the Academy, Tian Qin Academy of the Of Academy, of of of of of Wu of of of of.
Five days later, the Emperor Star Academy can bring five people to pay a visit to the Royal Academy. The Arterial Circulation Realm doesn't have a specific cultivation level, and the Emperor Star Academy can choose their disciples now. My Emperor Star Academy can guarantee that the Royal Academy will definitely recognize these five people. "
"On the contrary, the majority of the martial academies in the Royal Capital are focused on guiding their disciples in their cultivation. Most of them are at the Arterial Circulation Realm, and because of this, the competition at the Arterial Circulation Realm is more suitable. Five days from now, the Emperor Star Academy can bring five people to pay a visit to the Royal Academy. The Arterial Circulation Realm doesn't have a specific cultivation level, and the Royal Academy can choose their disciples now. My Emperor Star Academy can guarantee that these five people are definitely not from outside, and the Royal Academy will definitely recognize them.
Qin Wentian was undoubtedly hinting that his Emperor Star Academy wouldn't be the same as them, inviting unknown experts to battle.
Old Gu glanced at Qin Wentian as he laughed. Today's visit to the Royal Academy was to slap the Emperor Star Academy's face. Qin Wentian's suggestion wasn't bad, but the main point was to ensure victory.
After all, after the merger of the Godly General Martial Palace and the Royal Academy, there would be many outstanding disciples. However, their advantage was none other than Qin Wentian.
"This suggestion isn't bad." Old Gu continued, "Most of the Yuanfu Realm disciples have already graduated, so there's no need to compete. But as for the Arterial Circulation Realm disciples, there should still be students from both academies."
"Regarding Qin Yao, the Emperor Star Academy has yet to express their stance."
"Qin Yao is already a student of my Emperor Star Academy. If the 3rd Prince dares to say that if our Emperor Star Academy wins five days later, we can snatch any beautiful female disciple from the Royal Academy, and the Royal Academy won't interfere, I have nothing to say." Old Gu coldly laughed. Based on Chu Tianjiao's status, it was impossible for him to make such a ridiculous decision.
Chu Tianjiao fell silent. He knew that it was impossible for him to bring Qin Yao away today. Naturally, he already knew that it was impossible, but he still had to put up a front. Not only that, they had indeed embarrassed the Emperor Star Academy, and the result of this battle would soon spread throughout the Royal Capital, affecting the enrolment of new students.
But what Chu Tianjiao didn't expect was that Qin Wentian actually wanted to return the favor to the Royal Academy.
"Farewell." Chu Tianjiao bowed once more, as he turned and departed. Those beside him followed suit, departing the Royal Academy.
"Five days later, do you accept the challenge?" Qin Wentian stared at the back of Chu Tianjiao as he asked.
"Anytime." Chu Tianjiao's voice drifted over, causing Old Gu's countenance to turn heavy. He turned to Qin Wentian beside him, "Wentian, with the merger of the two great academies, in addition to the fact that they will seek help from other experts, things are going to be a little troublesome."
"Today, they are the guests, and the rules are set by them. Five days later, we will be the guests, and the rules will be set by us. Why must we fight separately?" Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with a sharp glint, causing Old Gu's countenance to stiffen. After which, he patted Qin Wentian on his shoulders. The pressure on Qin Wentian's shoulders was immense.
The crowd from the Emperor Star Academy gradually dispersed. Just as Chu Tianjiao had predicted, the result of the battle quickly spread throughout the Royal Capital.
After the merger of the Royal Academy and the Godly General Martial Palace, the limelight was unrivalled, suppressing even the Emperor Star Academy, becoming the number one academy in the Royal Capital.
This caused many outstanding youths to waver. Initially, many of them had planned to enrol in the Emperor Star Academy for the entrance examination. Could it be that they had changed their minds?
However, another piece of news circulated out. The Emperor Star Academy wasn't satisfied with their defeat, and would pay a visit to the Royal Academy five days later.
And the person in the lead was none other than the top ranker of the Jun Lin Banquet, Qin Wentian.
With Qin Wentian's strength, it was naturally hard for him to meet a worthy opponent at the Arterial Circulation Realm. However, what about the others? Would they have a chance of victory?
Currently, Qin Wentian was in closed-door seclusion. After Francis received his letter, he followed Qin Wentian's instructions and handed the Divine Inscription Painting over to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
With the fastest speed, the Divine Weapon Pavilion paid a hefty price to gather all the items that Qin Wentian needed and sent them over to Qin Wentian.
These items included demonic cores, Yuan Meteor Stones that contained the Astral Energy of the Demonic Constellations, as well as other resources that contained the essence of demonic beasts. Just the items sent over by the Divine Weapon Pavilion were definitely priceless.
However, this was only the first level of the Fiend Transformation Art that Qin Wentian wanted to cultivate.
Not only that, it wasn't sufficient for him to reach the Perfection Boundary of the first level. In the future, he would need even more resources.
As for the second level of the Fiend Transformation Art, not only did he need resources, he also needed to condense a powerful Astral Soul from a demonic beast.
However, that was something that would happen after Qin Wentian stepped into Yuanfu and condensed his 3rd Astral Soul. The current him only wanted to cultivate the first level of the Fiend Transformation Art, the Demonic Body Transformation Art.
Qin Wentian did his best to cultivate, completely ignoring the happenings in the outside world.
… …
In the Royal Capital of Chu, other than the Sky Transport Network and Heaven's Wonder, there was still the Heavenly Treasures Network.
The Sky Transport Network was the largest transportation network in the Chu Country, Heaven's Wonder was the largest casino, and the Heavenly Treasures Network was the largest trading center for treasures.
This was somewhat similar to the Divine Weapon Pavilion, but there were also some differences. The main business of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was the sale of Divine Weapons, while the Heavenly Treasures Network focused more on the transactions of rare and precious treasures.
Hence, the Heavenly Treasures Network was also the largest auction house in the Chu Country.
The Crystal Auction Building of the Heavenly Treasures Network was split into three levels, and was constructed entirely from crystals. The entire building was shimmering with a resplendent light, exuding a sense of extravagance and nobility.
Today, regardless of whether it was the first, second or third level of the Crystal Auction Building, they were all filled to the brim. This was because the Heavenly Treasures Network had already released the news that an extremely valuable treasure would be auctioned today. This undoubtedly stirred the curiosity of many.
There was no need to doubt the value of a treasure that could be auctioned in the Crystal Auction Building. Hence, many nobles came today.
Zuo Yin, Murin, Orchon, Ye Zhan and Liu Yan, Autumn Snow and her friends came as well. They all wanted to see what the Heavenly Treasures Network was going to auction.
On the first level of the Crystal Auction Building, within a crystal lotus, a beautiful lady clad in translucent robes stood there. Her beauty was breathtaking, causing people to sigh in admiration.
The lotus slowly rose up into the air, and the lady had a charming smile on her face. She held a painting in her hands as she spoke to the crowd, "The treasure being auctioned today was created by one of the most outstanding geniuses in the history of the Emperor Star Academy in the Chu Country. In fact, I feel that the word 'one of' should be removed from its name."
As the sound of her voice faded, many in the crowd were stunned. The most outstanding genius in the history of the Emperor Star Academy? What a tantalizing question.
"When he was 16 years old, he had yet to step onto the path of cultivation. At that time, his marriage engagement was broken off and he was humiliated. However, he didn't give up. On the contrary, the first Astral Soul he awakened originated from the 3rd Heavenly Layer, and his second Astral Soul originated from the 4th Heavenly Layer. In a short span of a year, he stepped into the peak of the Arterial Circulation Realm. Not only that, he created a miracle, becoming the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet, defeating Luo Qianqiu and Sikong Mingyue."
The hearts of the crowd trembled as they guessed who she was talking about. Autumn Snow's countenance turned pale. Wasn't the marriage engagement broken off and humiliated? Wasn't this referring to her? At this moment, she only felt a burning sensation on her face.
"Not only that, he is also the most outstanding genius in the Chu Country. At the age of 17, he was able to inscribe a Divine Imprint that even Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns were in awe. That was a 3rd-level Divine Imprint, a human-shaped painting that had never appeared before in the history of the Chu Country."
The young lady smiled as she spoke. Only now did they realize that Qin Wentian was truly outstanding. Autumn Snow was even thinking in her heart that if that incident didn't happen back then, that naive young man would still be together with her right now.
"Back then, for that painting, even the Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns, Senior Qin Wentian, gave it his all and even promised Mu Rou a favor. Today, this is the second painting created by Grandmaster Qin Wentian, a unique masterpiece that surpasses the previous one. Maybe, it would be highly regarded by Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns."
The young lady smiled as she swept her gaze across the crowd. With just a few sentences, the atmosphere was pushed to the peak, causing the blood of many in the crowd to boil. Just the fact that even Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns wanted this painting was sufficient to drive many people crazy, not to mention the value of the painting itself.
Seeing the performance of the young lady, a smile appeared on An Liuyan's face. Seems like her decision to send the painting to the Heavenly Treasures Tower for auction was the correct one!
