"Of course it's him." Zhexiu looked at them like they were idiots.
Before entering the capital, he still had not broken into Ethereal Opening. Even if his wolf bloodline was special, he still could not defeat a Star Condensation expert.
He added, "But if I fight him now, I'm confident."
Tang Thirty-Six asked in surprise, "You're confident that you can defeat him?"
Zhexiu replied, "No, I'm confident that I can take him down with me."
The room instantly fell silent. Tang Thirty-Six's head ached as he thought, besides me, these fellows in the Orthodox Academy are all freaks. It's truly impossible to communicate with them.
Chen Changsheng suddenly looked at him and asked, "Just what do you want to do?"
Logically speaking, with Tang Thirty-Six's personality, no matter how arrogant he was, he would not intentionally provoke a powerful figure like the Tianhai clan head in Clear Lake Restaurant, thus causing the situation to suddenly become intense.
Tang Thirty-Six was quiet for a while, then said, "We've analyzed what both sides want to do. Perhaps His Holiness the Pope wants to sharpen your sword even faster, but why does the Tianhai clan cooperate?"
"Because they want to create momentum … ultimately forcing me to confront Xu Yourong."
"Do you want to fight a bloody battle with Xu Yourong to the end?"
Chen Changsheng very seriously thought this over. He realized that he had no reason, no reason, to fight with that girl he had never met, so he shook his head.
"Then it's settled."
Tang Thirty-Six said, "What I want to do now is to make it so that they can't even think of a way to deal with us. After this is done, you can peacefully study and cultivate."
"Can I really?" Chen Chang Sheng looked at him and asked seriously.
Tang Thirty-Six's sword-like eyebrows perked up. "Who am I?"
Chen Changsheng suddenly thought of Su Li by the hot spring in the mountains and felt that this matter was rather unreliable.
"But why would they suddenly increase their suppression of the Orthodox Academy?"
The mighty head of the Tianhai clan would naturally not change his established policy just because he couldn't eat lobster.
Seeing this, Tang Thirty Six started laughing. He seemed to be harboring some evil intentions.
"It's very obvious that your cheap father-in-law has a very good impression of you. The Tianhai clan is very worried that if Xu Yourong really does take a fancy to you and refuses to fight with you, what will they do?"
Chen Changsheng didn't know how to respond, so he rather stiffly changed the topic. "First, we have to resolve the problem in front of us, how to avoid being drowned by them."
He had just said these words in Clear Lake Restaurant.
When the Orthodox Academy had fallen into a predicament, Tang Thirty-Six had returned from the Mausoleum of Books with a bowl of soy milk in his left hand and a youtiao in his right. At the gate of the Orthodox Academy, he had forcefully declared that he would resolve this matter, and then he had fiercely pressed the youtiao into the bowl of soy milk, saying that he wanted to drown them. Now, Chen Chang Sheng really wanted to know how he planned to drown them. The method of blocking soldiers when they come could obviously not be used anymore.
If he did not have a good way to deal with it, he could only stop thinking about it and directly go to the Li Palace to request an audience with the Pope.
"There are many ways to drown." Tang Thirty Six said confidently, "My next method is called Drowning the Seven Armies."
"Drowning the seven armies?" Chen Chang Sheng was confused.
Tang Thirty-Six suddenly said, "I heard that the Orthodoxy cavalry captured two more groups of foreign tourists who wanted to break into the Orthodox Academy to see the scenery."
Chen Chang Sheng thought to himself, what does this have to do with what we are discussing now?
Tang Thirty-Six continued, "This incident reminded me of something. Since many people want to come in and watch, we might as well sell tickets directly. We can still make some money."
Chen Chang Sheng and Xuanyuan Po still did not understand.
Tang Thirty-Six looked at them and said seriously, "What I want to say is, the Orthodox Academy is very large … with just the few of us, won't we feel lonely?"
… …
… …
On the morning of the next day, just as the sky began to brighten, many people gathered outside the Orthodox Academy to watch the spectacle.
It was obvious that the fact that the Orthodoxy cavalry had captured three groups of tourists who wanted to break into the Orthodox Academy yesterday had not affected the mood of the other people.
Moreover, the incident at Clear Lake Restaurant yesterday and the rage of the Tianhai clan head had already spread throughout the entire capital. Everyone knew that in just one day, more than forty cultivators would come to challenge the Orthodox Academy — it had to be known that in the past few days, there had only been a total of several dozen matches.
Who would be willing to miss out on this sort of spectacle?
Of course, the Orthodox Academy could drag it out like it did in the first two days, but now was not the same as before. Today, there were more than forty letters of challenge. Tomorrow, there would probably be even more letters of challenge. Snowflakes incessantly fell, snowballs incessantly rolled. When the time came, the snow on the ground would get thicker and thicker, and the snowballs would roll even higher than the academy gate. What could those youths of the Orthodox Academy do then?
The flower peddlers outside the alley had already arrived, and the breakfast peddlers had taken up good spots even earlier. As the crowd ate hot steamed buns and refreshing cold noodles, they excitedly discussed this matter. The air was suffused with the smell of meat stuffing and cucumber, so much so that those infatuated girls who adored Tang Thirty-Six wanted nothing more than to hide the fresh flowers in their bosoms, afraid that the fragrance of the flowers would be ruined.
The crowd suddenly quieted down, because in front of the pergola on the opposite side of the street, many people had appeared. These people were old and young, tall and short, but they were all silent. They were clearly not commoners who had come to watch the spectacle, because they all exuded an extremely dangerous Qi. They were all true experts, experts who had come to challenge the Orthodox Academy.
Seeing these several dozen experts that the Tianhai clan had transferred from various academies and even from the counties, many people couldn't help but worry for the Orthodox Academy, thinking, how can they win? How can they finish?
At this moment, the gate of the Orthodox Academy was pushed open from the inside.
The street outside of the academy was completely silent, and the atmosphere was a bit strange. Even the girls were only looking at the gate with hope, but they weren't shouting Tang Thirty-Six's name and saying crazy things like "I must marry you" like a few days ago.
The person who walked out of the Orthodox Academy wasn't Tang Thirty-Six, nor was it Chen Chang Sheng, it was Officer Xin.
Officer Xin looked at the crowd around him, especially the experts on the far side of the street, and couldn't help but shake his head. His expression was a bit complicated, but it was hard to tell if he was worried for the Orthodox Academy or something else.
He took out a piece of paper from his bosom and ordered his subordinate to carefully stick it on the wall next to the gate of the Orthodox Academy. Then he turned to the crowd, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Today, the Orthodox Academy will temporarily stop accepting challenge requests."
The Hundred Blossom Street and the streets further away were completely silent. The Orthodox Academy's response was within everyone's expectations, but just as everyone had thought, they couldn't drag this on indefinitely, so the Orthodox Academy must have new methods. In other words, logically speaking, this Li Palace priest should have something else to say, and perhaps something big would happen.
As expected, Officer Xin continued, "Today, the Orthodox Academy will officially start accepting new students!"
