Beating up the protagonist at the drop of a hat was truly heart-stirring.
At that moment, Li Ruoling snorted coldly. "Ye Xuan, what do you have to say?"
Ye Xuan gritted his teeth. "My jealousy got the better of me. It was my fault."
Cang Gu's gaze turned displeased. "If the Palace Lord hadn't pleaded for you today, you would already have been expelled."
Li Ruoling hurriedly added fuel to the fire as well. "Don't think that being a Dual Cultivation of Alchemy and Martial Arts makes you so great that you can hold your head high and look down on everyone. I despise people like you the most."
This time, Jiang Lan and Jiang Hong felt that the little bitch was right. "Exactly, exactly. It'd be one thing if you weren't as handsome as Xu Chen, but you even spread rumors? Disgraceful."
Ye Xuan: "..."
Xu Chen's teeth ached. Keep a low profile, girls. Stop praising me.
He only wanted to be a green leaf. Why was that so hard?
Shangguan Luoyun said sternly as well, "Ye Xuan, if you behave like this again in the future, I will not protect you either. Let this be known."
Ye Xuan's expression was ugly. "Yes, Palace Lord. Ye Xuan knows his mistake."
At that moment, he suffered another heavy blow and even faintly began to resent the Spirit Venerable.
After all, if the Spirit Venerable had not spoken like that, how could he have embarrassed himself so badly?
At this moment, Cang Gu suddenly recalled Xu Chen's words and sighed. "Xu Chen is quite a decent person. Just now, he said Ye Xuan did not need to be driven away, that the chance to enter the academy was hard-won. This shows that he is kind-hearted!
Attacked by others, yet still considering their interests—such bearing, such character, is truly rare. This boy is no ordinary person.
Just now, this old man thought Xu Chen was speaking for himself. This old man truly measured a gentleman's heart with a petty man's mind!"
Xu Chen: "..."
No, if it were not for following the plot, he truly wanted to beat Ye Xuan up once.
Getting praised out of nowhere was a little awkward.
Ye Xuan's expression turned even more livid. Compared with Xu Chen, he seemed utterly worthless.
Damn it. Ever since Qingyang City, Xu Chen had always kept him suppressed.
Even now, Xu Chen was still suppressing him.
He refused to accept it. He did not believe in fate. One day, he would trample Xu Chen beneath his feet.
Shangguan Luoyun chuckled. "Not only is his character good, his strength is also exceptional. Mid-stage Third Rank at sixteen years old—even throughout Jixia Academy, that is rare."
Cang Gu rarely revealed a smile as well. "Indeed, and his foundation is so stable. He is truly somewhat monstrous.
Xu Chen, this old man's strength and reputation are both not lacking. Seeing that your character and strength are both excellent, are you willing to enter under my tutelage?
What I cultivate is the Sword Dao: Myriad Swords Crossing, sweeping through all directions, cutting through everything. I will not disappoint you."
Shangguan Luoyun: "???"
Hm? You old bastard, you're stealing my man right in front of me?
He is the man I have already set my sights on. How dare you?
Li Ruoling, Jiang Lan, and Jiang Hong, however, watched with delight.
Elder Cang Gu's strength was indeed formidable, and he was highly ranked even within Jixia Academy.
If Xu Chen cultivated under him, his strength would surely soar by leaps and bounds.
Your master in the previous life was not this good.
This life, fate was much better.
Just as Shangguan Luoyun was about to speak, another burst of laughter came from nearby. "Hehe, Cang Gu, what is there to cultivate in that Sword Dao of yours?
Xu Chen, come study the Saber Dao under me, Bantian. Unrivaled Hegemony, peerless beneath heaven.
One Saber Breaks Mountains and Rivers, Two Sabers Suppress Heaven and Earth, Three Sabers Shatter the Firmament. Wherever my saber points, I am invincible."
As he spoke, an elder carrying a treasured saber on his back crossed through space and appeared before everyone.
His entire body radiated a domineering aura. With a slight tremor, space shattered all around him. It was terrifying beyond measure.
Xu Chen: "..."
No, wait a second.
Why did this plot seem a little familiar?
Fuck!
This was the plot that the protagonist Ye Xuan was originally supposed to experience.
For fuck's sake, how had it ended up happening to him?
Heaven pity him, he had truly done nothing. He had not even wanted to steal anything!
He was about to go stupid again.
He had originally thought that as long as Li Ruoling did not stir up trouble, nothing could possibly happen.
Who would have thought that something still happened?
Shangguan Luoyun's brows furrowed tightly, her beautiful eyes flickering.
Another one here to steal my man. Fine, I'll remember this.
You're finished. Later, I'll give you all some special instruction.
"System, say something. I really didn't do anything. You have to testify for me."
Xu Chen called out to the system in his heart.
System: "It's fine. The plot has collapsed, but it is still within acceptable limits. As long as Ye Xuan isn't kicked out of Jixia Academy for now, it's fine."
Xu Chen let out another sigh of relief. You said it!
Since the damn system said it was acceptable, then he could accept it.
"Hehe, Bantian, how dare your mere saber intent try to snatch Xu Chen?
"Xu Chen, come study the spear under me. Spear Users Traverse the Four Directions, their sharpness impossible to conceal.
"When it moves, Cold Glint Like Rolling Surging Waves; when still, All Things Tremble in Fear and dare not stir lightly.
"More than that, it possesses an unrestrained elegance. One Spear Breaks Myriad Ages, and All Things Bow in Submission!"
As he spoke, the third elder, Qing Han, appeared.
He had an unrestrained personality, exceptional bearing, and a rather handsome face.
Holding a long spear, he seemed like the protagonist between heaven and earth.
Shangguan Luoyun's face darkened. Another one here to steal my man.
Damn it, since when had Xu Chen become so sought after?
But it was useless. Her man could only be taken in by her.
All of you, get the hell out of this lady's way!!!
PS: The stats are bad, please give me stats!!! I'm desperately adding more chapters!!!
For a time, elders from the Three Great Academies of Jixia Academy scrambled to take Xu Chen as their disciple.
They were respectively the Third Elder of the Saber Dao Academy, the Second Elder of the Sword Dao Academy, and the Great Elder of the Spear Dao Academy.
Every one of them was an elite figure in their respective academy, an expert above Fifth Rank.
That was only what they showed on the surface. Their true strength might already have reached Sixth Rank.
Placed outside, they would all be figures capable of standing alone in the Heavenly Venerate Dynasty.
Shangguan Luoyun was disdainful. Mere three great elders—how dared they contend with her?
Just as she was about to speak, another aged voice came with a chuckle. "Little friend, I heard you defeated your opponent with one punch. Why not come to my Body Dao Academy?"
"The body is the fleshly form. When it is cultivated to the extreme, the flesh can shatter space and a single hand can rip mountains apart."
"The strong become indestructible as vajra, their fleshly bodies becoming emperors, crushing everything in the world. Why not cultivate it?"
As he spoke, a robust middle-aged man appeared before everyone.
Xu Chen looked over and saw that this man resembled a fitness coach. His muscles were developed, and his fleshly body seemed explosive.
As his arms swung, even space faintly trembled, showing just how formidable his fleshly body was.
This man was none other than Han Di, the head of the Body Dao Academy.
Elder Qing Han sneered. "The fleshly body is cumbersome. The Spear Dao is the most unrestrained, leaving people impossible to predict."
Cang Gu shook his head. "Not so. The Sword Dao is elusive and unfathomable, its afterimages impossible to trace. It is superior to the Spear Dao."
Bantian snorted coldly. "What use is being fast? Dominance is the ultimate power, suppressing all enemies beneath heaven."
Hearing so many elders fighting to claim him, Xu Chen's balls ached again.
