Looking at the person before him, a look of realization flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
It turned out that this was the elder brother of the person he had killed who had ambushed him.
He is also the leader of the Golden Wing Alliance, Jin Yunyi.
Lin Xuan looked at the other person calmly.
As the leader of the Golden Wing Alliance, he truly deserves the position of the master of a force. His Spiritual Power is abundant, and his realm has reached the Earth Venerable Perfection level, which is far beyond what ordinary Earth Venerable can compare to.
Jin Yunyi looked at Lin Xuan, his eyes filled with a lingering sorrow, and slowly spoke.
"Although my younger brother is indeed a bit of a spoiled brat and arrogant, he is still my own brother, born of the same mother."
Even if you don't admit you killed him, it doesn't matter...
I admit it.
Jin Yunyi was interrupted by Lin Xuan before he could finish speaking.
His words immediately caused the leader of the Golden Wing Alliance to pause, slightly stunned, and look at Lin Xuan with astonishment.
Lin Xuan then said calmly, "It was indeed me who killed him."
This development was completely beyond Jin Yunyi's expectations.
He had initially thought that no matter what, Lin Xuan would never admit to killing his brother.
But unexpectedly...
Lin Xuan, seeing the astonished look on Jin Yunyi's face, casually spoke.
"So, are you also going to say, 'Don't let me run into you outside of the academy'?"
"What a coincidence."
"That's what your brother said to me back then, and then he died."
After casually finishing his sentence, Lin Xuan didn't even glance at Jin Yunyi's expression. He nonchalantly lifted his leg and brushed past him, not even looking at Jin Yunyi's furious face as he passed by.
Since they are opposing forces, why should he bother to save face for them?
Watching Lin Xuan's light and airy departing figure, Jin Yunyi felt an overwhelming surge of anger within him, almost impossible to contain.
He clenched his fists tightly, restraining himself because of the rule against fighting within the academy. However, his subordinates beside him clearly and fearfully saw that blood was dripping from Jin Yunyi's palm.
Drops of blood fell to the ground, blooming into tiny blood flowers.
It perfectly captured the raging emotions surging within Jin Yunyi's heart, constantly exploding.
He stared intently at Lin Xuan's retreating figure, his gaze as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Good..."
"Excellent!"
After a long while, Jin Yunyi slowly opened his mouth, forcibly swallowing the burning anger in his throat, and grinned, revealing a smile of extreme rage.
"I'd like to see who gave you the audacity to provoke me like this!"
He was just a freshman, yet he dared to be so arrogant, which surprised him and strengthened his resolve to kill Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan didn't take this matter to heart at all.
The destruction of the Golden Wing Alliance was only a matter of time.
The fact that they dared to target his sister so much, forcing her to go to the Demon Battlefield and achieve a breakthrough despite facing near-death experiences, had already exceeded Lin Xuan's tolerance limit.
But before he could make a move against the Golden Wing Alliance and Jin Yunyi Wing, a momentous event that had captured the attention of the entire Primordial Holy Heaven stood before them!
That's the competition among the three hospitals!
The ratio of colleges in the three departments is different from the New Student Institute Competition.
This was something that Sacred Master Yunzhao hadn't mentioned to Lin Xuan before. After all, even if he had, it wouldn't have made any difference; with Lin Xuan's cultivation level, participating would have been nothing more than going through the motions.
On the day the academy competition began, Sacred Master Yunzhao, who had been in seclusion, finally emerged from his retreat.
However, she seemed a little tired, and there appeared to be an unresolved sorrow between her brows.
But when he saw the students, Sacred Master Yunzhao still perked up.
This time, apart from his eldest senior Situ Rong, all of Lin Xuan's other senior brothers and sisters were present.
"... This competition is a grand competition among the three academies."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Sacred Master Yunzhao slowly spoke, his clear and cold voice like pearls falling to the ground.
"As your teacher, I hope you can achieve good results this time."
In the past, during other competitions, Sacred Master Yunzhao always said that survival was the most important thing, and results didn't matter, but this time...
A hint of coldness flashed across Ye Xian's usually indifferent eyes.
She spoke softly, "Please rest assured, teacher. I dare not say I'll be in the top 100 in this academy competition, but I will definitely surpass Sacred Master Ziyan's students!"
She entered the sect early, and as the second disciple of Sacred Master Yunzhao, she naturally knew the grudges between Sacred Master Yunzhao and Sacred Master Ziyan perfectly well.
In the past two years Sacred Master Ziyan has become increasingly arrogant, trying to suppress their teacher in every way.
Therefore, this competition is not only about their own rankings, but also about the teachers' reputation.
We absolutely cannot lose!
"Um."
Sacred Master Yunzhao nodded gently. They had been teacher and student for many years, so there was no need for her to say anything. She turned to look at Lin Xuan.
" Lin Xuan, you..."
"I'll participate too."
Sacred Master Yunzhao, who was about to say that Lin Xuan did not need to participate, paused, somewhat surprised.
The others were also taken aback.
Cang Lie snorted coldly, his tone disdainful. "You?"
Although he only said one word, the meaning was self-evident.
After his initial surprise, Sacred Master Yunzhao was somewhat puzzled as to why Lin Xuan had spoken up at this moment.
"Are you sure?"
The reason she hadn't mentioned the academy competition to Lin Xuan before was because it wasn't necessary.
Although there is no rule prohibiting freshmen from participating in the college competition, almost no freshmen participate.
That place is the stage for senior students who have been studying in the Primordial Holy Heaven for a long time, receiving guidance from their teachers and having the assistance of their fellow disciples. It is by no means a game.
Everyone agrees that freshmen should diligently prepare for the New Student Institute Competition a year from now.
Nowadays, the departmental competition is no longer a place where freshmen have the right to compete.
Chang Ling'er also spoke up with concern.
"Junior brother, this academy competition is no joke. It doesn't prohibit anyone from participating, nor does it limit the participants' abilities..."
Lin Xuan certainly knew.
He didn't just waste his time at the Supreme Institute.
He was already familiar with these rules.
He shook his head.
"I know, there's no need to persuade me. I just want to see the difference between me and those so-called geniuses."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Second Senior Sister Ye Xian said coldly, "I'm afraid that gap will leave you in despair."
"Don't end up gaining nothing and having your Dao heart crushed instead. That's the stage for true geniuses; even the Ten Saints will participate."
Although her tone was cold and her words showed no optimism, Lin Xuan knew she meant well.
Cang Lie laughed disdainfully, casually picked up his knife, and slung it over his shoulder.
The sword, as red as a raging fire, contrasted with his red hair, like flames rising continuously in winter.
If you get close enough to him, you can feel the intense heat, and you can even see the sparks crackling on his head.
This unusual phenomenon certainly doesn't mean he's Demon Race or some kind of hybrid.
Cang Lie is a pure Human Race.
But he possesses a special bloodline.
Such "special" qualities are commonplace in the Primordial Holy Heaven. Even the worst student you encounter here is a prodigy that is hard to find elsewhere.
He looked at Lin Xuan with a cold smile and spoke impatiently.
"Since he wants to participate, then let him participate."
"But let me make this clear first: if you run into me at the academy competition, I will absolutely not hold back."
"The word 'give way' doesn't exist in my dictionary, not even among fellow disciples."
After saying that, he raised his head, snorted coldly, and walked away, ignoring everyone.
Lin Xuan watched his departing figure, lost in thought.
You can't turn on the water, right?
If this is Cang Lie's wish, then he will choose to grant it.
