"They are disciples of the Immortal Academy."
Seeing those people, Li Cai's expression grew slightly tense as he quietly reminded Long Chen.
Although these disciples wore the same white clothes as the Divine Academy disciples, their chests had the character for "Immortal" drawn instead of "God."
At Lingxiao Academy, among the many academies, the struggle between the Divine Academy and the Immortal Academy was the fiercest, almost like a direct clash of needles against wheat awns.
The Divine Academy cultivates divine abilities, while the Immortal Academy cultivates immortality methods, but the two academies differ greatly in their cultivation philosophies.
The Divine Academy and the Immortal Academy are the two largest academies of Lingxiao Academy, each with many disciples, so friction between them is constant. Disciples often disagree with each other, leading to frequent conflicts.
"This is the Immortal Academy's hunting area. Unauthorized individuals are not allowed inside." Among the disciples of the Immortal Academy, the leader cast a cold glance at Long Chen and the others, especially noticing the heavy mundane aura within Long Chen, his face full of contempt.
"Mentor Long Chen, let's go. Since someone is hunting here, let's find another place." Li Cai said softly.
The Divine Academy and the Immortal Academy are not on good terms; there's no need for them to confront them. Besides, the other side has too many people, and if they get into a fight, they'll suffer.
Long Chen nodded, thinking the other side might be dealing with a powerful ferocious beast, so he set up security around the perimeter and didn't intend to argue with them.
Just as Long Chen was about to leave, the leading Immortal Academy disciple spoke up: "Wait, our senior brothers and sisters ahead are setting traps. If you keep moving like this, you might alert the ferocious beasts. Take off your shoes and leave barefoot." "
You ..."
Li Cai and the others were furious. This was clearly a deliberate humiliation and outrageous bullying.
"Excuse me, please cooperate." The disciple leading the Immortal Academy said calmly.
The other disciples from the Immortal Academy also wore mocking expressions, as if bullying the disciples of the Divine Academy would bring them physical and mental pleasure.
"Mentor Long Chen..." Li Cai looked at Long Chen.
Long Chen waved his hand, signaling him not to speak. Long Chen walked over to the Immortal Academy disciple: "
Let me show you something."
The disciple from the Immortal Academy glanced up and down at Long Chen and sneered, "A mere mortal-level instructor from the Divine Academy—do you want me to show you proof?" Better forget it. If you know what's good for you, get out of here, or we'll throw you out. "
Long Chen didn't mind, holding out a hand to show him. The disciple glanced at it and saw that Long Chen was holding nothing, snorting coldly:
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know what this is?" Long Chen asked.
"Smack!"
Before the man could answer, Long Chen's large hand struck the disciple's face. With a loud bang, the disciple was sent flying by a single slap, rolling all the way for who knows how far he was flying.
"Courting death!"
The disciples of the Immortal Academy were furious when Long Chen dared to hit someone, rushing toward him. Li Cai and the others were also implicated.
"Kill them..." Long Chen snorted coldly.
"This... Can it work? Li Cai and the others were shocked. Although conflicts between the Divine Academy and the Immortal Academy were ongoing, the Academy did not allow disciples to kill each other.
"Enough talk, kill him. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility." Long Chen shouted coldly.
"Crack...
Accompanied by a scream, a disciple of the Immortal Academy had his thigh kicked in half by Long Chen, sending him flying backward.
"Fight to the death!"
Li Cai roared angrily, drew his sword, and slashed fiercely at the disciples of the Immortal Academy. As soon as Li Cai made his move, the other elite group disciples joined in as well.
Originally, the Immortal Academy disciples came up empty-handed, but Li Cai and the others took up arms—not just to scare anyone, but to strike and kill. Frightened, they hurriedly drew their weapons to resist, but were caught off guard. As soon as they met, many disciples were wounded and retreated in disarray.
"Crack, crack... "Crack, crack Meanwhile, Long Chen took each punch one by one. Anyone who came was beaten until their bones and tendons were broken, screaming in agony.
These people were utterly powerless in front of Long Chen. Seeing Long Chen's ruthlessness, the disciples of the Immortal Academy all retreated, and over three hundred were actually driven into panic by the elite group disciples.
"Roar!"
At that moment, a furious roar rang out, shaking the heavens and earth, making everyone's ears thunder.
"Bastard, hurry up, let's kill it together!" From afar came a voice of cursing, sounding like a woman, filled with anxiety.
As the woman's voice fell, rainbows flew across the heavens and earth. Instantly, the world exploded, the earth trembled, and in the distance, the sounds of fierce battle echoed.
"You bastards, you've alarmed the Thunder Lizard Beast. If the hunt fails, Senior Sister won't let you off..."
The Immortal Academy disciple who had been slapped away by Long Chen had crawled out from nowhere, covered in filth, cursing angrily.
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large area of the forest suddenly collapsed. A huge lizard dashed out, shattering a large section of the tree blocking its way.
"Divine Fire Realm Thunder Lizard Beast, Mentor Long Chen, run..." Seeing the colossal creature, Li Cai and the others cried out in alarm.
As Li Cai and the others cried out in alarm, countless disciples from the Immortal Academy chased after the Thunder Lizard Beast, numbering over a thousand.
It turned out to be a hunting party from the Immortal Academy. They had set their sights on this powerful Thunder Lizard Beast, sneaking in to launch a surprise attack and severely injure it right away, leaving it no chance to escape.
But the commotion on Long Chen's side alerted it, causing it to discover the ambush nearby. Although the disciples of the Divine Academy had sealed off the area, they were not fully prepared yet, and it broke through a gap and escaped.
"Boom boom boom... The Thunder Lizard Beast, by coincidence, charged straight at Long Chen. Perhaps because everyone else was dressed in white and Long Chen stood out too much in black, the Thunder Lizard Beast charged right up to Long Chen in the blink of an eye.
"Mentor Long Chen... Li Cai and the others were shocked.
Facing the Thunder Lizard Beast dozens of zhang long, Long Chen slowly rolled up his sleeves. As the beast rushed close, Long Chen leapt high and threw a punch at its head.
On Long Chen's fist, lightning patterns appeared—the power of Lei Ling'er. Although she was still asleep, Long Chen could still use it.
"Boom!"
Just as Li Cai and the others opened their mouths wide and wore terrified expressions, Long Chen's Thunder Fist slammed hard into the Thunder Lizard Beast's head. With a loud explosion, the Thunder Lizard Beast was knocked down by Long Chen's punch.
The ground sank, forming a huge crater. The Thunder Lizard Beast's body sank into the earth, twitching uncontrollably. After a moment, it stopped trembling and lost all breath.
Everyone present, whether from the elite group or the Immortal Academy, was all dumbfounded.
Especially the disciples of the Immortal Academy—such a terrifying Thunder Lizard Beast was killed by a rookie whose mundane aura hadn't faded in a single punch. Even though they saw it with their own eyes, they still couldn't believe it.
Long Chen stood with his hands behind his back, standing before the Thunder Lizard Beast, looking at the shocked faces of the Immortal Academy disciples, and said calmly, "
I killed this Thunder Lizard Beast. You don't want a share of the pie, are you?"
