815: Join Dongxian Academy

Dongfang Tong still highly recognized Yang Lingchen's strength; after all, Liu Xinyuan, who had comparable strength to him, had died at the other's hands.

Facing Dongfang Tong's fierce attacks, Yang Lingchen did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He held the sky-splitting spear and unleashed his Purple Flame Clone, directly forming an encirclement around Dongfang Tong.

Now, Yang Lingchen had Cultivated his sky-splitting spear technique to the Realm of Perfection. The three strongest main moves—Piercing Ice Light, Thunder Piercing the Moon, and Eye of the Firmament—had been Cultivated to the point of pure mastery.

Of course, Dongfang Tong was no weakling. His attack and defense capabilities were very powerful, and he possessed many unfathomable trump cards.

Therefore, it would be very difficult for the two to determine a victor within a short period.

The battle lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the two fought for hundreds of moves. In the end, Yang Lingchen won the victory.

Of course, if it were a life-and-death battle, Yang Lingchen was confident he could finish off his opponent within a hundred moves. However, killing was prohibited in the Top Ten Ranking Battle, so he did not use many of his trump cards.

On the other side, Chu Yuechan easily defeated her opponent.

In the subsequent battles, although the situation was exceptionally difficult, Yang Lingchen still withstood the pressure and successfully increased his winning streak to eight.

This meant that as long as he won one more match, he would be able to become the champion of the Grand Competition of the Main Academy.

As Yang Lingchen had expected, Chu Yuechan, like him, had also reached an eight-match winning streak.

Facing such astonishing records from the two, the smile on Huangfu Zhengtian's Face had not stopped since the start.

He really did not expect the two to be able to achieve such impressive results. He was not surprised by the achievements of Chu Yuechan.

What truly shocked Huangfu Zhengtian was Yang Lingchen.

Before the Grand Competition of the Main Academy, his expectation for Yang Lingchen was just to enter the top 100, but the outcome exceeded his imagination.

Because Yang Lingchen not only entered the top 100 but also entered the top 10. Now, in the Top Ten Ranking Battle, he had even achieved an eight-match winning streak. This had completely exceeded his expectations.

As for this outcome, people from other branch academies had not expected it either. The Tianxin Branch Academy had always been at the bottom. If they could not achieve satisfactory results this time, they might even Face dissolution.

Yet such a branch academy had actually secured the top two spots.

In the final match, Yang Lingchen and Chu Yuechan finally stepped onto the Arena.

"I surren...!"

"I concede."

Just as Yang Lingchen was about to concede, Chu Yuechan spoke first.

"Senior Sister Chu, the champion title should be yours," Yang Lingchen said.

"You deserve to be the champion." Chu Yuechan glanced back with a smile, then her figure drifted down, landing slowly off the Arena.

In the end, Yang Lingchen took the championship of this Top Ten Ranking Battle.

Subsequently, Elder Liu Yunnan of the East Immortal Academy's Outer Court presented the ranking rewards to the top ten contestants.

The champion received one million contribution points, the second place received 700,000 contribution points, the third place received 500,000 contribution points, and the fourth to tenth places each received 200,000 contribution points.

Don't think that the champion only got a mere million contribution points; for an Outer Court Disciple, this million contribution points was definitely a huge fortune.

"The rewards have been issued. Now, will the top 100 contestants please follow me to register your identities in the Outer Court," Liu Yunnan said loudly.

"Revered Master, this Disciple will go to register first." Yang Lingchen bowed respectfully to Huangfu Zhengtian.

"Go! Cultivate well in the East Immortal Academy from now on! If you have the ability, please look after Rou'er and Yue'er for me!" Huangfu Zhengtian said with a smile.

"Rest assured, Revered Master. This Disciple will definitely take good care of them!" Yang Lingchen said.

"Don't worry, Grandpa! We aren't children anymore; we won't cause trouble for you!" Huangfu Xinyue giggled.

"Lingchen! Yuechan, I still have some connections in the Main Academy. If you encounter any major trouble, you must use Sound Transmission to contact me," Huangfu Zhengtian instructed.

"Yes, Revered Master."

"Yes, Academy Dean."

Yang Lingchen and Chu Yuechan both responded respectfully.

"Go quickly!" Huangfu Zhengtian waved his hand. "Next, I need to accompany them to participate in the second round of assessments."

"Brother-in-law, remember to come to the Labor Courtyard to see me!" Huang Ruochen said.

"Rest assured!"

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen bid farewell to Huang Ruochen and Yuwen Chengfeng, and encouraged them both.

Ji Tiantian also bid farewell to Qiao Yanxi.

Then, Yang Lingchen and the others followed Liu Yunnan into the East Immortal Outer Court.

After some registration, they all received an Identity Token for the East Immortal Academy.

Next, under the arrangement of a deacon, each of them was assigned an independent dormitory.

After entering the dormitory, Yang Lingchen took out the academy rules of the East Immortal Academy and began to read them carefully.

Since he had come here, he naturally needed to understand the rules of this place.

The next morning, Yang Lingchen washed up briefly and then headed towards the Outer Court's Lecture Hall.

The Outer Court Lecture Hall was located in a valley. Every day, an Elder would give lectures here, and students could ask questions about any problems they encountered while Cultivating.

Just then, a familiar voice reached Yang Lingchen's ears, so he hurried over.

He saw Chu Yuechan, Ji Tiantian, and the two sisters Huangfu Xinyue being blocked by a young man wearing the robes of an Inner Sect Disciple, whose cultivation level was at the third layer of the Spirit Immortal Realm.

Behind this young man followed several Outer Court Disciples at the ninth layer of the Golden Immortal Realm.

"Junior Sisters, you must be new Disciples who just joined the academy!"

The Inner Sect Disciple waved a folding fan, his Face showing a sunny smile, but a trace of greed that was hard to detect flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Brother, is there something you need?" Chu Yuechan said in a cold voice.

The other party was an Inner Court Disciple, and his cultivation level had reached the third layer of the Spirit Immortal Realm, so unless absolutely necessary, she did not want to offend him easily.

"I am Gu Jiansheng. Since you Junior Sisters have just joined the academy, you must not be very familiar with this place. Why don't I accompany you for a walk?" Gu Jiansheng's Face wore a confident smile.

As an Inner Court Disciple, he had always had a natural sense of superiority, so he did not think that these few Outer Court Female Disciples before him could refuse him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Gu, but we have already understood the situation of the academy. We won't trouble you," Chu Yuechan said in a cold voice, radiating a chill that kept people at a distance.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiansheng frowned slightly. Having chased countless women in the Outer Court, this was the first time he had been so decisively rejected, which made him lose some Face, especially with so many lackeys watching.

"Junior Sisters, you must not know who I am." A faint smile curled at the corners of Gu Jiansheng's lips.
