This academic exchange seems different from the usual ones.
According to the Gu Sheng Sage, many academies on the Heavenly Mystery Continent have spent enormous sums of money to obtain a spot for the Six Realms Academy Exchange, either by approaching other forces or by inviting Rogue Cultivator to join.
"But... even so, what will they gain?" Tan Zongzhao frowned slightly and said, "Reputation? They might gain a reputation, but if their foundation doesn't keep up, they won't be able to recruit more students!"
The Gu Sheng shook his head and said, "The dean should know the reason. It seems that this Six Realms Academy Exchange is very special, as it will take place in a Spirit Division place. Perhaps all these academies want to go there."
Everyone couldn't help but look surprised and doubtful.
What kind of place would be willing to spend such a huge amount of money to strengthen it, even if the chances are slim?
Aren't you afraid of losing everything, down to your last pair of underwear?
The Gu Sheng lay on the crane's back, his hands behind his head, still chewing on a blade of green grass, and said casually, "Don't be nervous. No matter how much we strengthen them, it'll still be the same people. I'll probably recognize six or seven out of ten of them when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Indeed, the Gu Sheng has spent these years training outside, either fighting or on his way to fight.
Many prodigies have suffered greatly from this, and some even avoid Gu Sheng altogether!
At this moment, Vice Dean Ming stood up, looked at everyone, and said, "Alright, let me tell you about the schedule for this exchange, since some of you are participating for the first time."
"This exchange will be held in the Martial God Tomb of the Black Tortoise Divine Dynasty. The Martial God Tomb has nine Martial God Platform. The exchange will last for seven days. At the end, the academy with the most people occupying the nine Martial God Platform will represent the North in the academy exchange across the entire Heavenly Mystery Continent."
"Of course, only one person is allowed to stand on each Martial God Platform."
At this point, Vice Dean Ming looked at Mu Fusheng and the others, and said, "Even substitutes can find opportunities to occupy the Martial God Platform."
Everyone nodded and said they understood.
Vice Dean Ming put away the scroll in his hand, nodded slightly, and was about to close his eyes and pretend to doze off.
Suddenly, Vice Dean Ming stood up abruptly! He waved his hand, and the crane stopped in mid-air.
At the same time as Vice Dean Ming noticed, Mu Fusheng's eyes widened, lightning flashing within them, and his entire body tensed as he stood up. He telepathically transmitted a message to Xiao Heishi, Shi Sheng, Fang Qiong, and the other two, "Be careful, someone is ambushing us!"
The Gu Sheng was next, but Gu Sheng glanced at Mu Fusheng more than once, as he had just sensed the instantaneous change in Mu Fusheng's body.
Then, recalling the enemy attack he had sensed, a smirk crept onto his face as he thought to himself, "Interesting..."
At Vice Dean Ming's prompting, all the disciples on the crane stood up.
Qin Chi looked at the dense crowd around him, his expression grim, and said, "It seems that people from other academies don't want us to go to the Black Tortoise Divine Dynasty..."
The Gu Sheng sage chuckled, "People from the Chaos Realm always like to engage in these Evil Dao methods; that's quite normal."
As a top-tier academy on the Heavenly Mystery Continent, Chaotic Spirit Academy is also a strong contender for the first spot!
Furthermore, many colleges are determined to secure this spot.
Once you connect this to the point, you'll naturally understand.
Since they might not be a match for the Chaotic Spirit Academy during the exchange, wouldn't it be better to simply eliminate all the prodigies brought by the Chaotic Spirit Academy before the exchange even begins, thus eliminating them from the competition?
Vice Dean Ming surveyed his surroundings, glancing at those completely concealed in peculiar black robes, making it impossible to discern their identities. His face was cold as he said, "It seems more than just one academy is involved. Three Demigod Realm experts, thirty Ancestor Realm cultivators, and the rest are all junior God Emperor Realm. They really think highly of us."
"Enough with the nonsense. If Chaotic Spirit Academy is going to forfeit and give up on participating in the inter-academy exchange, then we'll turn around and leave without stopping you."
The voice was extremely rough, and it was impossible to tell who it was; it had clearly been processed.
The other party was very cautious.
This reveals that the combined strength of all the opposing academies is clearly inferior to that of the Chaotic Spirit Academy. Fearing retaliation from the Chaotic Spirit Academy, they concealed their presence and voices.
Vice Dean Ming snorted coldly, "When has the Chaotic Spirit Academy ever yielded to threats? Besides, do you think that hiding it will prevent any clues from being found?"
"When we make our move, we'll naturally leave some traces on you. The academy can easily find out by sending people to investigate those who participated in this exchange!"
The Demigod who had spoken also lowered his voice, "What, do you think any of you can leave here alive? As long as we kill you, your academy won't know what happened here immediately, and then we'll have enough time to clean up the traces."
Upon hearing this, Vice Dean Ming's face turned grim.
Behind them, Mu Fusheng walked up to Tan Zongzhao and quietly asked, "Brother Tan, tell me the truth, what realm is your master at?"
Tan Zongzhao said with a wry smile, "We're all Demigod, and although we can hold off three of their Demigod for a while, there are so many Ancestor Realm and God Emperor around. A single spit from each of them could drown us!"
The Gu Sheng then stepped forward, patted Mu Fusheng on the shoulder, and asked, "So, do you have any ideas?"
"Although I don't know exactly how strong you are, you must be hiding your true strength, right?"
Mu Fusheng somewhat helpless. He knew that it was his subconscious reaction just now that made the Gu Sheng suspicious, but he didn't have time to think about anything else now.
Mu Fusheng shook his head and said, "There is a way, but the three Demigod Realm experts on the other side won't let us use it smoothly."
Mu Fusheng was referring to was naturally the Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman.
However, a powerful being who has reached the Demigod Realm can influence the changes in the Power of Dao Law heaven and earth with almost every move they make!
Even if the opponent has little knowledge of the Lightning Dao Law, they can still prevent the Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman from teleporting.
After all, the Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman has no ability to defend against this kind of interference.
Just as Mu Fusheng was thinking of a solution.
Vice Dean Ming's expression suddenly turned serious. "Get ready. Once you break through the encirclement, immediately head towards the Black Tortoise Divine Dynasty. As long as you enter the city, they won't dare to be so blatant anymore."
It's still a day's journey to the Black Tortoise Divine Dynasty from here!
Everyone was taken aback, but without much thought, they immediately circulated their Immortal Qi to its maximum!
The men in black robes sneered, "What? You think you can break through the encirclement all by yourself?"
Vice Dean Ming smiled and said, "After all, the Chaotic Spirit Academy is also a force in the Chaos Realm. Although we disdain associating with people like you who like to play dirty tricks, we still guessed this."
Immediately, Vice Dean Ming patted the crane beneath his seat and said, "Give it your all!"
