Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2973: Chapter 2976: Punishment

”I understand now!”

Jiang Chen suddenly laughed, a glint of disdain in his eyes:

”Are you afraid of me settling scores in the fall, aren’t you? You keep mentioning the Extraterritorial Battlefield over and over, saying you know what happened there, pinning me against Changling Academy, just to get the academy’s protection.

Today you beat me, even if I want revenge, Changling Academy will definitely step in to protect you because your flag says you fought me for the academy, isn’t that right?”

”You’re afraid, so you bring up the matter of my self-exile from back then to resonate with some academy students or elders who don’t understand the events of that time.

After you defeat me, if I retaliate, using the power from the Battlefield Realm to strike back, you can easily seek refuge from Changling Academy, or even the Academy Alliance, right?”

”I...”

Lu Qingxiang’s complexion changed, opened his mouth, but couldn’t utter any words of rebuttal.

The surrounding crowd looked at Lu Qingxiang speechlessly, their eyes filled with astonishment.

The eyes of those who understood the past events, such as Taiyuan Chancellor, Su Ruoyun, and Zhuo Bufan, all showed a tinge of anger. This was deliberately smearing Jiang Chen and using Changling Academy as a shield!

”You’re overthinking it!”

Jiang Chen said indifferently: ”Void Nether Academy’s challenges never involve revenge; if you can defeat me, then you’ll definitely become a student of Void Nether Academy. At that time, Void Nether Academy will become your support and offer you protection, which is stronger than Changling Academy’s protection.”

”Don’t say I look down on Changling Academy. Even Taiyuan Chancellor, he must admit that Void Nether Academy is strong; it’s recognized by the Five Continents as the top academy!”

”And if you fail to defeat me, then where does the revenge come from?”

”So, whether you win or lose, you don’t need to worry about anything!”

”However...”

Jiang Chen’s eyes flashed with a cold light: ”I despise such deliberate smearing. Originally, I was considering letting you lose without looking too bad for Changling Academy’s sake, but now, I won’t spare you a shred of dignity!”

”That guy is doomed! Dare to provoke Jiang Chen, he’ll end up humiliating himself in front of everyone at the Six Great Academies!”

Tang Jie spoke with a cold laugh.

With Jiang Chen’s remarks, everyone understood Lu Qingxiang’s intentions, and their gazes towards Lu Qingxiang were filled with contempt.

”You said that defeating you could make one a formal student of Void Nether Academy?”

Lu Qingxiang’s eyes lit up, feigned mockery, and said: ”Who do you think you are? Are you an elder of Void Nether Academy?”

”I am indeed an elder of Void Nether Academy.”

A booming voice rang out, and a figure appeared in the air.

”Greetings Zhao Zun!”

”Greetings Zhao Zun!”

Chancellors of the Six Great Academies and the elders alike cupped their fists and bowed in salute to the appearing Zhao Buzu.

Zhao Buzu looked coldly at Lu Qingxiang on the stage and shouted: ”As long as you defeat Jiang Chen, I personally grant you direct entry into Void Nether Academy! Every recruitment, I have a special quota, and this time, I award it to the person who defeats Jiang Chen!”

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, looked up at Zhao Buzu, cupped his fists, and saluted: ”Greetings, teacher!”

”Jiang Chen, don’t spare Changling Academy any face, give this guy a hard time! Such a person doesn’t deserve to enter Void Nether Academy! Nor does he represent Changling Academy!”

Zhao Buzu spoke solemnly.

”Yes!”

Jiang Chen nodded, then turned to face Lu Qingxiang.

At that moment, Lu Qingxiang’s face alternated between green and white, his expression constantly flashing.

”G-greetings Zhao Zun!”

Lu Qingxiang gritted his teeth and cupped his fists, bowing to Zhao Buzu: ”Is Zhao Zun’s words true? If I defeat Jiang Chen, can I directly enter Void Nether Academy as a formal disciple? Zhao Zun won’t be partial against me?”

”Humph! I am not that petty-minded. If you defeat Jiang Chen, not only will I let you enter the academy directly, I will personally take you as my disciple and pass on my lifetime insights to you!”

Zhao Buzu coldly snorted.

”Thank you, Zhao Zun!”

Lu Qingxiang was secretly delighted, bowed appreciatively once more.

In his view, Zhao Buzu must have taken notice of his talent and wanted to take the opportunity to accept him as a disciple; why else would he mention taking a disciple so rashly? He must have been observing him for a long time!

Those who understood Zhao Buzu, like Taiyuan and others, were momentarily stunned. This person wouldn’t act without gain, and his words indicated he was confident Jiang Chen would win.

However, even though Lu Qingxiang’s mind was questionable, he did enter the Saint Realm ten years ago. Now, he might have expanded his domain by over ten miles using resources left by Meng Youyuan. Jiang Chen only broke through to the Saint Realm a year ago; is his Domain Embryo stable? Can he be a match for Lu Qingxiang?

”Jiang Chen, today I’ll make you realize that while at lower realms you might be invincible at the same level, once you reach the Saint Realm, you are no longer invincible! For the sake of my future path, kneel before me!”

Lu Qingxiang shouted loudly.

Buzz!

A grand aura spread across the stage, instantly covering the entire arena and even extending beyond it.

Buzz!

Taiyuan Chancellor frowned and waved his hand.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The space around the arena vibrated briefly, and the entire stage was moved to another space.

”Such a thick domain aura; Lu Qingxiang’s domain should have reached a radius of twenty miles, right?”

”It seems so! Looks like Jiang Chen is about to lose!”

”If Jiang Chen loses, Zhao Zun will have to take him as a disciple!”

”Damn it, Lu Qingxiang is quite cunning! Does he know Jiang Chen is Zhao Zun’s student and is deliberately provoking him?”

The elders began to discuss fervently.

Others might not sense it clearly, but they could feel the sheer density of Lu Qingxiang’s domain, which is absolutely not something Jiang Chen, who only broke through to the Saint Realm a year ago, could contend with!

But, there was one point they overlooked: Jiang Chen can’t be judged by ordinary standards.

”Is this your reliance? Ridiculous!”

Jiang Chen laughed scornfully, his eyes suddenly focusing.

Buzz!

Boom!

The domain expanded, followed by a series of explosive sounds.

Just as Jiang Chen’s domain emerged, Lu Qingxiang’s domain that covered him was instantly shattered!

Puff!

Lu Qingxiang spewed a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turned pale, and he looked at Jiang Chen with disbelief in his eyes.

”Didn’t anyone tell you, if you aren’t absolutely sure you can crush your opponent’s domain, don’t easily wield your own?”

Jiang Chen looked coldly at Lu Qingxiang, shouted lowly: ”Kneel for me!”

Buzz!

Domain Power intensified, a vast oppressive force weighed heavily on Lu Qingxiang.

Thud!

A muffled sound, Lu Qingxiang directly knelt on the platform, his face showing extreme pain, blood constantly oozing from the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with horror: ”Impossible! This is impossible! How can your domain be so strong?!”
