As soon as he heard the name 'Changyang Shōten', Bai En was shocked. He hurriedly bowed to Jianchen, "Bai En greets sir Imperial Protector!"
Although Jianchen used to be a student of Kargath Academy, his status was different now. Not only was he a Heaven Saint Master, he was also the first Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Gesun in several hundred years. His status was incomparable to before. Even with Bai En's status as the vice-principal of Kargath Academy, he still had to bow to Jianchen.
As soon as the spectating students heard that this white-robed outsider was the famous Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Gesun, Changyang Shōten, they were all shocked. A huge commotion broke out as they stared at Jianchen with burning gazes. Their faces were filled with admiration and reverence.
If Ming Dong was said to be the object of worship in the hearts of the students, then Jian Chen was a high and mighty god in the hearts of the students of Kargas, an inviolable existence.
This was because Jian Chen had once been an influential figure in Kargath Academy. The things that had happened to him in Kargath Academy were still passed down to this day. He was the champion of the Freshmen Competition. He had hunted down Magical Beasts and obtained a shocking amount of Monster Cores. He had defeated Ka Diyun, who had condensed a Saint Weapon, with his strength not even at the Saint Realm. Finally, he had severed the arm of the Huayun Sect's junior sect master, Cheng Mingxiang, with his strength only just reaching the Saint Realm. He had even heavily injured the dozen or so students accompanying him.
Every single one of these things was enough to cause an uproar among the students of Kargath Academy.
But now, in just a few short years, Changyang Shōten had become a Heaven Saint Master and had even become the Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Gesun. This dazzling achievement had made Changyang Shōten a god in the hearts of all the students of Kargath Academy. Many students did not even dare to show their jealousy.
This was because Heaven Saint Masters were existences that these students could only look up to. This level of cultivation was something that they would never be able to touch in their entire lives.
Below the stage, Ka Diqiuli's limpid eyes were wide open. Her expression was complicated and envious as she stared at the white-robed Changyang Shōten.
"He … he … he's actually Changyang Shōten. No wonder he looked so familiar." Looking at the handsome and masculine face on the stage, Kadi Qiuli murmured in a low voice. He couldn't help but recall the scenes from a few years ago, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Back then, Changyang Shōten, her and her second brother, Ka Diliang, had all entered Kargath Academy at the same time. None of them had reached the Saint Realm and were still below the Saint Realm. But now, only a few years had passed. The strongest of the three siblings, Ka Diyun, had only recently broken through the bottleneck of Great Saint Realm and had yet to leave Kargath Academy. On the other hand, Jianchen had become a peak Heaven Saint Master in just a few years.
Heaven Saint Master, this was a level that many people yearned for.
After learning the identities of Jianchen and Jianchen, the only ones who could remain calm were the three siblings. Ka Diyun and Ka Diliang also stared at Jianchen with complicated expressions. They were speechless for a long time because the two of them still remembered the unhappiness that had occurred between them and Jianchen.
Although Jianchen had become a Heaven Saint Master and was the Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Gesun, he did not put on any airs. He quickly helped vice-principal Bai En up and said a few polite words.
"Changyang Shōten, since you've come, why don't you come to my place and have a seat? Allow me to be a good host," Kafel said with a smile. The fact that Jian Chen was able to come to Kargath Academy meant that he hadn't forgotten about this place. This made Headmaster Kafir overjoyed as well.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, principal." Jianchen clasped his hands with a smile.
"Hehe, it's no trouble, it's no trouble at all. You being able to come here is the honor of all the teachers and students of Kargath Academy." Kaffir said with a chuckle. Then, he slowly rose into the air and flew towards the tower in the center of the academy.
Jianchen did not want to fall behind. He controlled the wind element with his mind and brought Ming Dong into the air. He followed behind Kafel and left the arena at a steady pace, leaving behind a large group of students who looked at them enviously.
Very quickly, Jianchen and Ming Dong followed behind Kafel and flew to the top floor of the tower. This was not only Kafel's office, but also his resting place. There was a guest hall and a lounge.
Kafel walked to the table and sat down. After telling Jianchen and Ming Dong to sit down, he took out a bottle of wine from his Space Ring and poured a cup for them, saying, "This is a gift from an old friend who specializes in wine. It's called Hundred Flower Wine. It's made from hundreds of precious ingredients and special refining methods. It's extremely precious, and I usually can't bear to drink it. Have a taste and see how it tastes."
Jianchen and Ming Dong did not stand on ceremony and picked up the cup to taste it. After taking a small sip, they let out a sigh, "It really is good wine. It's much better than the imperial wine I drank in the palace."
Jian Chen also downed the wine in his cup. It had to be said that the wine Kafir had brought out was indeed very delicious, but compared to the Hundred Herbs Brew the Ape King had given him, it was still a far cry.
After drinking this cup of wine, Jianchen gently put down the cup and took out a jade bottle from his Space Ring, saying, "Principal Kafel, I'll also treat you to a cup of real wine." Jianchen took out the thousand year old Hundred Grass Wine. Back then, the Ape King had given him five catties, and in order to increase his strength, Jianchen had used nine catties. Now, he only had one catty left.
As Jianchen slowly poured out the thousand year old Hundred Grass Wine from the jade bottle, a strong wine aroma spread out, filling the entire room in an instant.
Smelling the strong wine aroma, principal Kafel was immediately surprised and sighed, "Good wine, good wine. Just the smell of the wine is so intoxicating. This must be a great wine. Changyang Shōten, where did you get this wine?"
"Wow, Jianchen, you actually hid something so good on you. Quickly pour me a cup and let me have a taste." Ming Dong impatiently pushed the cup to Jianchen's side as he looked at Jianchen with shining eyes.
Jianchen chuckled and poured another cup for Ming Dong, "Drink slowly. This wine can't be bought outside even if you have money. When I went to the Cross Mountains, I spent a lot of effort to get it from the Ape King of the Spiritual Apes. He's a Saint Ruler, and I don't have much left on me right now. Every little bit I drink is a little bit less."
Principal Kafel violently trembled when he heard that the wine had been given to him by the Ape King of the Spiritual Apes. He looked at Jianchen in disbelief. The Cross Mountains had always been a forbidden zone for humans. It was impossible for anyone who entered to come out. He had never thought that not only had Jianchen entered, he had even gotten such a great wine from a Saint Ruler of the Magical Beasts. This was just unbelievable.
On the other hand, Ming Dong didn't reveal any abnormalities. He seemed to know that this wine wasn't easy to come by. He took a sip of the Hundred Herb Brew and closed his eyes in an intoxicated manner, savoring the wonderful feeling of the wine entering his stomach.
Seeing Ming Dong's intoxicated expression, even Headmaster Koffel who had always loved good wine couldn't help but suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind. He lifted the cup and took a sip, his eyes immediately shining brightly as he couldn't help but praise: "It really is good wine. This is the first time I've tasted such good wine in my life. After drinking this wine, I'm afraid that in the future, all other good wine will be tasteless in my eyes." After speaking, Headmaster Koffel downed the cup of wine in one gulp.
Principal Kafel closed his eyes in an intoxicated manner. Not only could the Millenium Jade strengthen one's Saint Force, it could even strengthen one's soul. As a result, both Ming Dong and Kafel could not help but close their eyes after drinking the wine.
Jianchen smiled as he looked at the two of them. The first time he drank the Hundred Herbs Brew, the scene was exactly the same as the two of them.
Suddenly, Jianchen's expression changed slightly as he stared at principal Kafel in shock. He saw a layer of Yuan Qi appear around principal Kafel's body, revolving around him. The Yuan Qi grew stronger and stronger until it finally lifted Kafel's body into the air. At the same time, a powerful aura was released from principal Kafel's body, waking Ming Dong from the wonderful feeling of the Hundred Herbs Brew.
"What's going on?" Seeing principal Kafel's body floating in the air, Ming Dong asked with a face full of confusion.
Jianchen pulled Ming Dong back a bit and said with a smile, "Principal Kafel has broken through."
"What? He broke through? " Ming Dong was shocked as his gaze fell on the cup in his hand. His face was full of disbelief, "He couldn't have broken through after drinking this wine right?!"
Jianchen nodded and smiled without saying anything. He had experienced the effects of the Hundred Herbs Brew.
The aura around principal Kafel did not last for too long. After a few breaths, it calmed down and his body gently landed on the ground. He slowly opened his eyes with a face full of joy.
"Congratulations, principal Kafel, your strength has reached a new level!" Jianchen hurriedly congratulated.
Principal Kafel laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, as expected of a peerless wine. It actually has such a miraculous effect. My strength had already reached the peak of the Third Cycle of Heaven Saint Master two years ago, but I was unable to break through. I never thought that today, this cup of wine would break through the bottleneck and allow me to smoothly advance to the Fourth Cycle of Heaven Saint Master."
"This wine actually has such an effect." Ming Dong was also shocked. He immediately imitated Kaffir's method of drinking the wine in his cup in one gulp before closing his eyes.
A moment later, Ming Dong finally finished digesting the medicinal effects of the wine. He sighed, "Although I didn't break through, my Saint Force has become even more condensed. Moreover, I feel that my will has become much stronger. This wine … this wine is simply a treasure that cannot be bought with money."
"What do you mean by 'cannot be bought with money'? This Hundred Herbs Brew is only available to the Magical Beast Clan. It can't be bought outside." Jianchen corrected him.
"Jianchen, pour me another cup!" Ming Dong handed the cup to Jianchen and looked at Jianchen pitifully.
Jianchen decisively put the jade bottle into his Space Ring and said with a pained expression, "I don't have much left of this Hundred Herbs Brew. How can it withstand your drinking like this?"
Ming Dong pouted and muttered, "It's fine if you don't want to give it to me. Once I reach the Saint Ruler realm, I'll directly ask for it from the Spirit Ape Clan."
