Long Chen walked a long distance along the road and finally found the registration and assessment site. However, when he arrived, two disciples dressed in white long robes with the alchemy furnace emblem embroidered on their sleeves glanced at Long Chen impatiently and said,
"Why are you taking so long?" You're more than an hour late, you know? How come you don't understand any rules at all? Long
Chen immediately felt a nameless anger rise and said coldly, "No one ever told me the exact time, so how could I be late?" "
Still dare talk back?" The disciple immediately became furious.
"If you keep talking back, I'll not only talk back but also slap you hard. If you don't believe me, let's give it a try." Long Chen's face darkened. What the hell is this academy, to run into a bunch of idiots? If this were on the Tianwu Continent, it would have been slapped to death long ago.
Since entering Lingxiao Academy, there have been many setbacks along the way. Long Chen feels he hasn't offended anyone, yet some people keep bumping into him. Could it be that in the Immortal Realm, he also attracts bad luck?
"Looking for death... The
two disciples flew into a rage. After all, any newcomer who came here behaved properly and was fearful—who would dare speak to them like that?
"What's so noisy?" Suddenly, a commanding voice came from the inner hall.
"Kid, just wait, I'll deal with you later. Take this, hurry up and get inside to class." The disciple said viciously, then tossed Long Chen a nameplate.
Long Chen took the nameplate, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he gave the two a cold glance:
"I'm not a good person. If you're not eager to reincarnate, don't mess with me."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he took the nameplate and headed straight for the inner hall. His words made the two disciples so angry their faces darkened; they had never seen such an arrogant newcomer.
Long Chen's expression was also grim. Perhaps he had dominated the Tianwu Continent for too long; no one in the entire continent dared speak to him like this. Now, it felt like a dragon swimming in the shallows was caught in shrimp play, or a tiger fallen to the plains bullied by dogs.
Ahead was a stone door, covered in patterns. When Long Chen reached the door, the nameplate in his hand trembled slightly, and the door slowly opened.
The stone door opened, revealing a classroom about a hundred zhang square. Inside were tables, and behind each table sat a young disciple upright. There were over a thousand disciples, both men and women. As soon as Long Chen appeared, all eyes turned to him.
Of course, there was also an elderly man sitting cross-legged on the stage ahead. His face was thin and rigid, like a strict private tutor. His lips were thin, the corners of his mouth upturned, clearly someone not easy to get along with.
The old man was the mentor here, responsible for mentoring the newcomers. Although these newcomers had passed the assessment, they were not even considered outer disciples of the Alchemy Institute; they were still in an observation period. Only after the probation period and decent performance could they become outer disciples.
"Are you Long Chen?"
The old man glanced at Long Chen, who was also holding something in his hand, seemingly verifying Long Chen.
"Exactly," Long Chen nodded.
"No rules, just reply yes or no." The old man's face darkened as he shouted coldly.
Long Chen rolled his eyes in anger. People in the Immortal Realm must be crazy or something. Just one word missing—was this deliberate trouble?
"The next generation is full of arrogance, not very capable, with a strong temper, making them the hardest to manage.
But this is Lingxiao Academy, and the Alchemy Institute is the most unique courtyard within the academy. All of you better stay alert.
I don't care if you are from the Immortal Realm or ascended to the heavens. Being able to enter here is the gathering of your life's fortune. Behave yourself and don't ruin your future. The old man withdrew his gaze from Long Chen and swept his gaze over everyone, clearly treating Long Chen as a cautionary tale.
Long Chen was furious. Could it be that even after entering the Immortal Realm, he was still plagued by bad luck? Why do I always run into idiots? Truly a hero doesn't care about his origins, and a fool doesn't care about age.
"We waited for you for a full hour for this class. Please apologize to everyone." The old man said coldly.
"Are you sure your head isn't filled with dog crap? How come all the words spoken are nonsense? Long Chen looked at the old man with a look of disbelief.
As soon as Long Chen said this, the disciples present erupted in an uproar. They stared at him in shock. How could such a thing be said? Is this person losing his future?
"You..." The old man was furious and stood up in a flash.
"What do you mean, you?" If you keep pointing at me with your finger, I'll break your dog paw.
Didn't your parents teach you that pointing at others is really unruly? I was sent here, and no one said when I would arrive. Since no one agreed on a time for me, how could I be late?
You wait for me for an hour—what does that have to do with me? Look at you, looking decent, but all you talk about is nonsense. "Long Chen finally couldn't hold back and cursed the old man loudly.
He had gone all out, preferring not to enter Lingxiao Academy than tolerate this annoying attitude. If this continued, forget about cultivating—he would be furious enough to die.
"You... You ... You're disqualified, get out of here. The old man shouted angrily.
"Revoke your qualification?" You were the ones who called me here, and you who told me to leave? How? Are you treating me like a monkey?
Let me go, give me a perfect explanation. Long Chen sneered.
"Reason?" You were innocently late, disrupted the classroom, and insulted the instructor—that's enough excuses, right? The old man shouted coldly.
"Idiot, no one agreed on a time with me, so being late doesn't count. The so-called classroom disruption is your shouting and nonsense. I'm just arguing my case."
As for insulting the mentor? Clearly, you were making a fuss and falsely accusing me, asking me to apologize to everyone. I wasn't late, so why should I apologize?
You were the one who insulted me first, so what, can't I fight back? You're the mentor, so I have to let you insult me?
If that's the case, let the top management of Lingxiao Academy come out and spout something. If he admits that's the academy's rule, I'll just walk away right away. The person in charge from Lingxiao Academy is out of the spotlight—let's talk it out." That
last sentence was uttered by Long Chen in a roar, his voice filled with fury and terrifying killing intent, making everyone's eardrums thunder and carry far and wide.
Although this was the Immortal Realm, Long Chen's voice wasn't far, but it was still quite frightening. Especially the two disciples from the Pill Institute outside, who were thinking about how to deal with Long Chen in the future, when Long Chen's roar came from inside.
"This person's notice was sent late, and there was no agreed time. Being late is invalid, so the class continues." Suddenly, a voice rang out, reaching everyone's ears, and the old man's expression changed instantly.
