They all stood up from the ground, their faces filled with ecstasy …
Their strength had returned to their bodies. In just a few short breaths, they had completely and completely recovered!
Chu Xingyun was also overjoyed when he saw the ecstasy on everyone's faces.
When the power of nirvana and the power of rebirth merged into one, the effect was simply too powerful.
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Chu Xingyun said, "Alright, all of you wash up first. We will meet at the White Cloud Pavilion in two hours."
Everyone nodded respectfully at Chu Xingyun's instructions, then swarmed toward the bathing pool.
Two hours later …
Inside the White Cloud Pavilion …
Ding Xiang and Ding Ning sat on the chairs with pale faces. The scene they saw just now was still very vivid, and it kept replaying in their minds.
Although the feeling of vomiting was still very strong, Ding Xiang and Ding Ning's stomachs had been completely emptied. Other than retching, they could not even vomit out any water.
Looking at Ding Xiang and Ding Ning with pity, Chu Xingyun secretly regretted bringing them along.
However, Chu Xingyun had done so with good intentions.
If Ding Xiang and Ding Ning's hearts were strong enough and they could control themselves, then they could logically receive everyone's support and support.
Unfortunately, these two sisters' ability to control themselves was still lacking. They were defeated in one exchange.
Fortunately, Ding Xiang and Ding Ning were both girls, so it was easier for them to be forgiven. If they were two boys, those hundreds of super geniuses would probably never accept them.
Shaking his head helplessly, Chu Xingyun fished out a bottle of Ice Essence and poured a small cup for Ding Xiang and Ding Ning.
After drinking the Ice Essence, the intense feeling of vomiting finally subsided under the cleansing of the rich spirit energy.
Although they still felt disgusted when they recalled that scene, at the very least, Ding Xiang and Ding Ning's bodies had calmed down. They no longer felt nauseous.
Clatter, clatter …
While he was deep in thought, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chu Xingyun's gaze focused slightly. He smiled and said to Ding Ning and Ding Xiang, "They're here. This time … the two of you can't be rude, understand?"
Nodding firmly, Ding Xiang and Ding Ning closed their mouths, fearing that if they lost control, the feeling of vomiting would come back again.
Very quickly, someone knocked on the main door of the White Cloud Pavilion. After getting Chu Xingyun's approval, a group of cultivators wearing red cloaks rushed in from the main door.
Taking a closer look, there were about a hundred warriors in this group, each of them wearing a crimson red cloak.
There weren't any patterns on the cloak. Only the chest area of the cloak was embroidered with a plum blossom using golden thread.
The plum blossom was golden in color and had a total of nine petals. Upon closer inspection, each petal was a ball of golden flame.
Seeing this group of martial artists pouring into the hall, Ding Xiang and Ding Ning's hearts suddenly trembled.
Although everyone's faces were covered under the red cloak, the golden nine-petal plum blossom had already explained everything!
Nanming Academy only recruited martial artists with sixth-grade fire talent and above. Therefore … six-petal plum blossom was the lowest grade of students in Nanming Academy. It represented that they had sixth-grade fire talent.
Chu Xingyun, Ding Xiang, and Ding Ning all had sixth-grade fire talent. Therefore, the plum blossoms on their chests were all six-petal.
Although Chu Xingyun's fire talent had already reached ninth-grade as his realm increased, he didn't retest it. Therefore, his symbol was still a six-petal plum blossom.
However, these martial artists in front of them all had nine-petal plum blossoms. This meant that … they all had ninth-grade fire talent. This was too terrifying.
Just having nine petals was nothing. Most importantly, these petals were golden in color! This was even more terrifying.
Golden petals meant that these hundred people were the top hundred experts in the Earth Fire Divine Pagoda's ranking!
Golden was the top hundred, silver was the top thousand, and cyan was the top ten thousand …
Therefore, this small nine-petal plum blossom was enough to prove that these people had ninth-grade fire talent. They were the top hundred experts in Nanming Academy's upper house!
As more than a hundred people poured in, the White Cloud Pavilion's main hall was already overcrowded.
Chu Xingyun stood there with a smile. Looking at these hundred martial artists, he smiled but didn't say anything.
In the next moment, it was unknown who took the lead, but the hundred martial artists all knelt on one knee. They cupped their fists at Chu Xingyun and said respectfully, "Thank you for saving our lives. We … are willing to join the Nanming Alliance!"
Gently raising his hands, Chu Xingyun said, "I appreciate everyone's gratitude. Please rise …"
Facing Chu Xingyun's command, everyone stood up and looked at Chu Xingyun gratefully.
Waving his hand, Chu Xingyun smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand. I don't mean to force you to repay me. If I did, I would only save those who are willing to join, right?"
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, everyone was moved. Indeed … if Chu Xingyun really wanted to, he could use this as a threat. Those who joined would be treated, and those who didn't would be left to fend for themselves.
While everyone was deep in thought, Chu Xingyun's expression turned serious. He said in a deep voice, "Unlike the other four great academies, our Nanming Academy doesn't have the Emperor's backing. Therefore … even if you meet with an accident, the Emperor won't stand up for you."
Slowly nodding, everyone agreed with Chu Xingyun's words.
If it were the other four great academies, if their elite students were all harmed, how could the four Emperors not react? This was simply digging up their roots!
However, the Nanming Academy didn't have the Emperor's backing. Although the Martial Emperor of the Crape Myrtle Academy was strong enough to suppress the four Emperors, when the matter really involved the four Emperors, she was afraid to take action and didn't dare to step forward.
Looking around, Chu Xingyun said righteously, "It's better to help ourselves than to ask for help. It's better to rely on ourselves than on others … Since no one is protecting us, we should unite and help each other in order to protect ourselves."
After a pause, Chu Xingyun continued, "Otherwise, even if we are safe for now, what about the future? Once we step out of the academy, who will protect us? Once we are bullied, who will help us seek justice? "
Listening to Chu Xingyun's analysis, everyone's expression became more serious than ever.
Indeed, they had already suffered such cruelty within the academy. Once they left the academy and entered society, who would protect them?
The other four great academies all had the Emperor's backing. With the Emperor's support, no one dared to bully them.
But who was behind them? The Martial Emperor of the Crape Myrtle Academy?
For the past ten thousand years, the Martial Emperor of the Crape Myrtle Academy didn't care about the outside world at all. She guarded the Nanming Academy every day. As long as no one caused trouble within the academy, she absolutely wouldn't care.
