Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yang Yu Chen, who was standing at the side, looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of surprise. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so good at flattering people. After all, prodigies were all arrogant, right? He could not help but cringe when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words of flattery. However, seeing his Fourth Junior Sister’s smiling face, he could not help but secretly give Duan Ling Tian a thumbs-up. With just a few words of flattery, Duan Ling Tian managed to obtain Lang Chun Yuan’s approval. In the past, it had taken him a few hundred years for Lang Chun Yuan to acknowledge him as her senior brother after she joined the Inner Palace faction. Comparing himself to Duan Ling Tian was truly a joy-killer.
At this time, Lang Chun Yuan asked, “Junior brother, how did Third Senior Brother trick you here?”
The corners of Yang Yu Chen’s lips twitched when Lang Chun Yuan asked how he had ‘tricked’ Duan Ling Tian here. Was he that kind of person in her eyes?
Duan Ling Tian laughed before he replied, “Fourth Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother didn’t trick me. He promised to let me enter the Supreme Powerhouse Relic.”
Since Lang Chun Yuan, as a member of the Inner Palace faction, had also entered the Supreme Powerhouse Relic, there was no need to hide this matter.
!!
“The Supreme Powerhouse Relic?” Lang Chun Yan asked, slightly surprised, “He’s going to let you enter the Supreme Powerhouse Relic? Did he say you must make contributions to the Inner Palace faction before doing so?”
“He said that as long as I agree to join the Myriad Laws Academy and the Inner Palace faction, he’ll make an exception for me,” Duan Ling Tian said. Then, he asked skeptically, “Why? Does he not have the authority to do so? If so, I’m afraid I won’t be joining the Myriad Laws Academy or the Inner Palace faction.”
Then, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Yang Yu Chen suspiciously before he turned to look at Lang Chun Yuan again.
Lang Chun Yuan said with a hint of resentment, “He has the authority to do so. It’s within the authority of the leader of the faction to do such a thing. However, in the past, when I joined the faction, he didn’t make an exception for me. He insisted and lied to me that it was a test and a chance for me to grow by not making an exception for me…”
Yang Yu Chen coughed a few times before he said awkwardly, “Fourth Junior Sister, isn’t that because I found you much stronger compared to our junior brother? Moreover, isn’t it great that I found you a junior brother? Previously, didn’t you keep urging me to find you a junior brother or a junior sister?”
Yang Yu Chen was desperately trying to save himself.
Lang Chun Yuan scoffed softly. “Fortunately, you found me a junior brother. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you off the hook. I might not be able to beat you now, but when I surpa.s.s you in the future, I’ll hang you at the mountain gates of the academy in the future and spank you 100 times in front of everyone in the academy!”
Yang Yu Chen’s expression froze upon hearing these words.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was slightly shocked when he saw the change in Yang Yu Chen’s expression. ‘Does Third Senior Brother really think that Fourth Senior Sister will surpa.s.s him?’
Yang Yu Chen was a well-known genius in the Profound Energy Land, after all. He became a Supreme G.o.d when he was just a little over 10,000 years old and became an intermediate Supreme G.o.d when he was 20,000 years old. There were very few people like him in the Profound Energy Land. However, it seemed like someone like him did not think it was impossible for Lang Chun Yuan to catch up to him or even surpa.s.s him.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian knew that Lang Chun Yuan was not as simple as he had thought. Before this, he only knew she had become an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds before reaching the age of 10,000. However, based on Yang Yu Chen’s reaction, it seemed like Lang Chun Yuan was even more extraordinary than he had thought.
“Fourth Junior Sister, please arrange for a place for junior brother to stay. I’ll bring him to deal with the admission procedures now,” Yang Yu Chan said. He only wanted to leave as soon as possible lest she embarra.s.sed him again.
Duan Ling Tian naturally had to be enrolled in the Myriad Laws Academy as a member of the Inner Palace faction. After all, the Inner Palace faction, hidden or not, was part of the Myriad Laws Academy.
Before Yang Yu Chen led Duan Ling Tian away, Lang Chun Yuan ignored Yang Yu Chen and said to Duan Ling Tian with a grin, “Junior brother, don’t worry. I’ll make sure your accommodation is better than that of Third Senior Brother!”
Yang Yu Chen thought to himself gloomily, ‘This girl hasn’t even surpa.s.sed me yet, but she’s already messing around like this… When she surpa.s.ses me, I’m afraid she’ll really hang me at the mountain gates of the academy and spank me! I really have to cultivate harder. Otherwise, I’ll be embarra.s.sed by her!’
Yang Yu Chen decided to go into closed-door cultivation as soon as possible to stabilize his cultivation base in the realm of an intermediate Supreme G.o.d after helping Duan Ling Tian deal with the admission procedures.
Yang Yu Chen sighed inwardly. He thought to himself helplessly, ‘It’s really to stabilize the cultivation base of an intermediate Supreme G.o.d… It’s more than ten times harder than stabilizing my cultivation base when I was a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d. That girl’s cultivation speed is in fact only comparable to mine. However, perhaps, due to her fortuitous encounter in the mundane realm, she doesn’t need to stabilize her cultivation base. Eldest Senior Sister even said that the fortuitous encounter was related to a supreme powerhouse.’
For these reasons, Yang Yu Chen did not take it lightly when Lang Chun Yuan spoke about catching up to or surpa.s.sing him. After all, she would save a lot of time since she did not need to stabilize her cultivation base. In the past, as soon as she broke through and became an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds, her cultivation base was already completely stable. As such, it stood to reason that she likely would not need to stabilize her cultivation base as well after becoming a Supreme G.o.d.
…
As they left the Inner Palace faction, Yang Yu Chen also taught Duan Ling Tian the hand gestures to enter and leave the faction. Then, he gave his Soul Pearl to Duan Ling Tian and said, “You can contact me directly if you have any problems. Now, I’ll bring you to complete the admission procedures.”
As the Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, even if Yang Yu Chen did not have absolute authority, he still had very high authority. As such, it was not a problem for him to make an exception and recruit a student. Moreover, the person he recruited was Duan Ling Tian who recently rose to fame in the Profound Energy Land during the Seven Mansions Feast. Many people in the Myriad Laws Academy had heard of him as well.
It did not take long for news to spread about Duan Ling Tian’s enrollment.
“Duan Ling Tian joined our Myriad Laws Academy?!”
“Vice Academy Master Yang personally brought him here. Did Vice Academy Master Yang recruit him?”
“The academy doesn’t take the initiative to recruit students, right?”
“Who knows? Perhaps, Vice Academy Master Yang broke tradition for such a prodigy?”
At the same time, many people watched curiously as Yang Yu Chen and Duan Ling Tian completed the admission procedures. It only took Duan Ling Tian 15 minutes to obtain a student token.
At the same time, when the people in the surroundings heard Duan Ling Tian address Yang Yu Chen as ‘third senior brother’, they were shocked and confused.
“I a.s.sumed that Vice Academy Master Yang accepted him as a disciple, but that’s clearly not the case!”
“Then, it means that Vice Academy Master Yang’s master accepted Duan Ling Tian as a disciple, right?!”
The majority of the people in the Myriad Laws Academy naturally knew nothing about the Inner Palace faction. However, they knew that Yang Yu Chen had a senior sister, a senior brother, and a junior sister. As such, they a.s.sumed they all shared the same master.
As for those in the know, they naturally knew that Yang Yu Chen had recruited Duan Ling Tian to join the Inner Palace faction when they heard Duan Ling Tian addressing Yang Yu Chen as ‘third senior brother’.
…
At the same time, this matter also caused an uproar among the high-ranking officials of the Myriad Laws Academy. The senior members from the Legacy faction looked down on the Inner Palace faction and expressed their dissatisfaction to the current Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy.
“Vice Academy Master Yang broke tradition by personally recruiting a student. With this, he ruined the reputation of our academy.”
“That’s right! Our academy has never personally recruited students. His action will definitely damage our reputation!”
Faced with the complaints, the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy said indifferently, “It’s a tradition, but there’s no rule prohibiting him or anyone else from doing so. Just because no one has taken the initiative to recruit students before, it doesn’t mean that it’s against the rules. As for the reputation of the academy, if such a matter could ruin the reputation of our academy, our reputation would’ve been ruined a long time ago.”
After listening to these words, no one spoke up again. However, some people from the Legacy faction grew slightly anxious and worried.
“It seems like the rumor is true! The Academy Master really intends to make Yang Yu Chen his successor!”
“We can’t allow it to happen! Yang Yu Chen is a member of the Inner Palace faction. Even when he switches factions after becoming the academy master, his allegiance will still be with the Inner Palace faction.”
“What should we do?”
“We can delay this matter anymore. Otherwise, the academy will belong to the Inner Palace faction soon! I don’t care if the Inner Palace faction has a glorious past or a n.o.ble objective, it shouldn’t exist anymore.”
