Chapter 5181 Bullying

With one slap, Long Chen had shattered the six heaven vein dragon qi around the elder. If Long Chen had increased his power the slightest bit, the elder would have been dead. As it was, the elder was on the brink of death, his soul’s flame flickering weakly. How could he possibly laugh?

Long Chen’s slap left the other elders in shock. They stared at him in horror, not daring to make a sound.

“Long Chen, they don’t matter. Let’s go. The dean is waiting for you,” Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan urged, pulling him along.

This time, no one dared to argue. Only after Long Chen had left did the elders dare to check on the injured elder’s condition.

“Good, he still has one breath left. Quick, get the vice deans to help consolidate his core!” one of them ordered urgently before vanishing with the wounded elder.

The disciples exchanged bewildered looks. The fact that a monster like Yang Tu had been killed in one punch, and that a six-vein Heaven Saint had been crippled with a single slap, left them in disbelief. Yang Tu had been renowned for his viciousness, yet he was nothing compared to Long Chen.

Just as the academy’s disciples started to discuss it amongst themselves, Long Chen was brought away by Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan. Coming alongside them were that young sister and brother.

Yu Qingxuan observed the girl’s potential as an alchemist, noting that with proper training, her future would be limitless. Bai Shishi handed the two of them a jade tablet, which allowed them to teleport directly to the Dragonblood Legion, while she, Yu Qingxuan, and Long Chen continued on foot.

Long Chen found that Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan were exuding vast Doyen fluctuations. Both had become Heavenly Chosens, with Bai Shishi particularly radiating an intense aura despite her attempts to conceal it.

The three walked in silence, content in each other’s company.

“Long Chen, when do you think we’ll be able to stay together forever?” asked Yu Qingxuan suddenly.

Seeing her expectant gaze, Long Chen felt a pang of guilt. Countless people feared him as a peerless heavenly genius and praised him as the youngest dean in the High Firmament Academy’s history. However, he was inferior even to a mortal, unable to stay beside his beloved. The pressures he faced daily were overwhelming, regardless of his strength.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have...” Yu Qingxuan immediately regretted her question, realizing it only caused Long Chen pain.

Long Chen hastily reassured, “No, when we stand at the peak of this world and are in control of our fates, we will no longer be separated. I believe this day is not far off.”

“Okay. I believe you!” Yu Qingxuan obediently nodded.

“Boss!” Suddenly, Bai Xiaole appeared, startling the three of them.

Bai Xiaole had used some unknown divine ability to appear without warning, making Long Chen almost attack him instinctively. Bai Xiaole laughed triumphantly. “Hahaha, were you scared? This is a new divine ability I just awakened. I—aiya!”

Before he could finish, Bai Shishi grabbed his arm and smacked him, making him cry out in surprise.

“What are you hitting me for?!” demanded Bai Xiaole, aggrieved.

“You scared me!” Bai Shishi clenched her teeth.

Bai Xiaole still had his child-like nature, so he didn’t know what he had done wrong. Bai Shishi chased him, and he used his spatial divine ability to escape. When Bai Shishi returned, the mood had shifted. She was so annoyed that she wanted to chase Bai Xiaole down and beat him some more.

Looking at her furious expression, Long Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit bad for Bai Xiaole. His big sister was really violent.

As the three of them continued onward, Long Chen started to frown. The further they went, the more desolate their surroundings grew. Instead of new constructions, there were only ruins.

“Isn’t this bullying?” said Long Chen.

“A bit!” Yu Qingxuan smiled bitterly.

Long Chen’s anger flared. Yu Qingxuan was someone who never held grudges and disliked fighting. For her to acknowledge the bullying meant that it was severe.

“Do you want to greet Guo Ran, Xia Chen, and the others first?” asked Yu Qingxuan suddenly.

“No need. Xiaole will definitely inform them about me. Seeing the dean and palace master first is more important,” said Bai Shishi.

Long Chen agreed. They were his brothers, and courtesy wasn’t that important among brothers. However, when Long Chen arrived at Bai Letian’s residence, he almost exploded and charged back to the plaza.

The residence was a dilapidated temple with crumbling walls and a hole in the roof. Seated within the temple, Bai Letian greeted Long Chen with a smile.

“Dean Long Chen, I trust you’ve been well since we last met. Welcome to my humble abode.”

“This abode really is humble. It’s breezy,” Long Chen replied, admiring Bai Letian’s calm demeanor despite the surroundings.

“To hear the mountains whisper, the water babble, and the birds sing is a natural music that cleanses the heart. Such an opportunity is to be cherished!” Bai Letian said serenely.

“That’s because your realm is high. We couldn’t accept their arrangements and set up our own tents,” said Bai Shishi irritably.

From their explanation, Long Chen learned that the academy had provided residences for the Dragonblood warriors and the head academy’s disciples, but those places were even worse than Bai Letian’s place. At the very least, he had a roof, even though there was a hole in it.

The place they arranged for the Dragonblood warriors was merely ruins; they were clearly humiliating them. Bai Shishi was furious and would have attacked those arrogant people if Bai Letian hadn’t intervened.

“Dean, just what is going on?” asked Long Chen.

“It’s a long story. Please, sit,” Bai Letian began, preparing to explain.

As Long Chen listened, his rage grew. The first branch academy’s dean had been ungrateful and had tried to exclude them after their release. Long Chen was particularly infuriated by their refusal to acknowledge their roots. They felt that the head academy had declined after so many years and wanted to become independent.

During their tribulation to the Eternal realm, the first academy’s arrangements were also unfair. If the palace master had not appeared, they wouldn’t have let the Dragonblood Legion enter the minor world to make their breakthroughs.

“How shameless. There’s no need for me to spare them any courtesy,” Long Chen said through clenched teeth.

The Dragonblood Legion had been mistreated in their own home, and Long Chen’s anger could no longer be contained.

“Bai Letian, the dean has ordered you to arrest the criminal Long Chen and bring him to the palace!” Just then, a cold shout rang out, intensifying Long Chen’s killing intent.
