Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2409: Chapter 2413: Elder Zhu

”Jiang Chen reached the finish line without even revealing the Power of the Great Dao!”

”How is that possible?!”

”Why not? He comprehended five Great Daos and even grasped the Dao Rhythm. This kid... his Great Dao Comprehension is astonishingly high!”

”What kind of prodigy has Changlin Academy produced? Compared to him, those Taoist Bodies seem to pale in significance!”

When everyone refocused on the light curtain, Jiang Chen was already standing at the finish of that area.

”Congratulations, Junior Jiang Chen!”

Liu Chang looked at Jiang Chen beside him, a hint of admiration in his eyes: ”Your Great Dao Comprehension is truly astonishing!”

”I originally wanted to challenge you, but now it seems I’m not your equal!”

On the other side, Lin Zhong from Changlan Academy looked at Jiang Chen with admiration.

He saw the sword strike Jiang Chen used against Li Yunluo, and he had no confidence he could withstand it!

Jiang Chen paused slightly, laughed lightly, and said: ”You don’t need to underestimate yourself. If you reach my age, you’ll certainly be several times stronger than now.”

When someone respects me an inch, I return it a foot!

”You don’t need to comfort me. The dean showed me your records; you’ve only been cultivating for seven years. At twenty-three, an age already past the prime for cultivation, yet you’ve reached the Mid Divine Infant Realm. I can’t compare to you!”

Lin Zhong lightly shook his head, then said earnestly: ”However, I will use you as my target, striving hard to pursue until I surpass you!”

”Likewise!”

Suddenly, another voice joined the conversation as Feng Qingyang also reached the finish line.

”Good, I look forward to you surpassing me!”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, then suddenly remembered something, turning to Liu Chang: ”Senior Liu, can the academy know about our performance here?”

”Of course, not only Elder Li is watching here, but some elders from the Inner Court are also observing, especially you. You’re highly noticed!”

Liu Chang chuckled, nodding, with a profound expression in his eyes.

Jiang Chen felt a stir in his heart, looked up at the sky, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, his words echoing loud: ”Changlin Academy’s student Jiang Chen, my master, known as the Wine Sword Maniac Hu Yiqiu!”

Liu Chang and others were momentarily stunned, their gaze towards Jiang Chen filled with confusion.

”Today, with my master’s return to the academy in glory, disciple Jiang Chen presents a congratulatory gift!”

Jiang Chen shouted once more.

At the base of the mountain peak.

”What is he doing?”

”Present a congratulatory gift? What gift does he want to present?”

Looking at Jiang Chen shouting to the sky in the light curtain, a group of academy heads looked at Hu Yiqiu with puzzled expressions.

Hu Yiqiu’s eyes showed a hint of excitement, a gratified smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

”Elder Wine, today, everyone will remember a student from Changlin Academy. His name is Jiang Chen, and his master is you!”

Jian Cangqiong seemed to understand what Jiang Chen wanted to do, expressing his admiration.

”This kid normally dislikes being high-profile!”

A warm feeling washed Hu Yiqiu’s heart; he couldn’t contain the smile on his face.

Li Yuanting and others glanced at Hu Yiqiu and Jian Cangqiong in confusion, feeling perplexed, like monks a couple of inches away from understanding.

Ouyang Song’s mind flashed with realization; he suddenly turned to the light curtain and exclaimed, ”He wants to challenge the Great Dao Pressure of the next area?!”

”What?”

Everyone was shocked, looking intently at the light curtain.

”This kid is really going to challenge the Great Dao Pressure of the next area?!”

”It’s truly bold to challenge in the Trial Grounds. It’s not something that can be stopped easily!”

”In the academy’s trial, each area is the maximum limit that can be tolerated at the current realm. He’s challenging this for Elder Jiu! What a fortunate thing to have such a disciple!”

Everyone saw the figure already on the next light curtain and sighed in admiration, casting an envious glance at Hu Yiqiu.

In the Trial Grounds.

After Jiang Chen finished shouting, his gaze tightened, and he stepped forward.

”Junior Jiang, that’s the Late Divine Infant Realm competition area.”

Liu Chang’s expression changed as he reminded.

”I know, I just want to go there!”

Jiang Chen responded lightly, stepping into the competition area for Late Divine Infant Realm students.

Buzz!

A sudden leap in pressure bore down on Jiang Chen, causing him to pause abruptly.

”Jiang...”

Liu Chang wanted to persuade, but suddenly a hand reached out to hold his shoulder.

Liu Chang turned, Jian Wuheng had arrived beside him.

”Senior Liu, no need to persuade.”

Jian Wuheng looked at Jiang Chen’s back, speaking softly: ”Yesterday we heard that Elder Jiu didn’t immediately go to see his master, perhaps embarrassed. Knowing this, Jiang Chen fell silent. Now, he wants Elder Jiu to return in glory. As a disciple, the more exceptional his performance, the more honor Elder Jiu will have!”

”This...”

Liu Chang paused, glanced at Jiang Chen’s back, pondered briefly, and then stepped up to follow Jiang Chen, ready for rescue at any moment.

”This kid is so considerate!”

Within the academy’s Inner Court, a group of men and women of varying ages watched a light curtain. The scene showed four divided areas, depicting the Trial Grounds.

An elderly man with hair and beard as white as snow watched the silhouette that appeared in one of the areas on the light curtain, his eyes revealing gratification.

”Elder Zhu, Elder Jiu has returned; don’t you plan to see him?”

A refined middle-aged man in the foremost central position turned and glanced at the elderly man.

Elder Zhu snorted softly: ”Why should I go see that little wine devil when he didn’t come to see me?”

Though his words were blunt, Elder Zhu’s eyes revealed a hint of longing, thinking about his most outstanding disciple, who also suffered such grievances!

Thinking at this point, Elder Zhu glared at an elderly man beside the middle-aged one.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, saying nothing more, turning to look at another elderly man behind him, speaking lightly: ”Elder Meng, Li Yunluo, it’s over!”

”Humph! An unworthy child, so is the father and the disciples he taught!”

Without waiting for the elderly man to speak, Elder Zhu snorted coldly, glaring at him again.

”Old Zhu, stop snorting. Li Yunluo has been punished; what more do you want?”

The elderly man, being glared at twice, was also a little incensed, glaring back, shouting.

”He deserved his punishment. What’s wrong, Meng Youyuan, not satisfied? Great, come, let’s fight, make you accept it!”

Elder Zhu rolled up his sleeves, taking a stance ready for a scrap with Meng Youyuan.

”Elder Zhu.”

The middle-aged man called helplessly.

Elder Zhu glanced at him, then glared at Meng Youyuan again: ”Humph! I’ll give the dean face, otherwise, I’d beat the filth out of you!”

Meng Youyuan’s face darkened, opened his mouth to retort but eventually closed it reluctantly, having fought before and knowing he couldn’t beat Elder Zhu!

The others looked at the verbal sparring and chuckled, shaking their heads. They were used to the old rivals clashing whenever they met.
