In front of Lingxiao Academy, there was a sea of people, endless tents, and hills all over the fields. Clearly, these people had already made this place their temporary home.
Except for a clear space in front of the main gate of Lingxiao Academy, which is a pure land, the rest of the area has already been occupied by various living beings.
Ever since Long Chen defeated the so-called number one Destiny Ming, the Nether Dragon Amaterasu, the whole world had been spreading this explosive news, and Long Chen's name had completely echoed throughout the land.
The fact that the Chosen One was defeated by the new generation of Saint King was unacceptable to countless people. With some people fanning the flames, they secretly "defended" Long Chen, saying that so-called Destiny Ones were all trash in front of him.
As a result, Long Chen was instantly thrust into the eye of the storm. He himself had no idea that he was being targeted by all the Destiny Beings, including the human Destiny Ones.
Long Chen's defeat of Minglong Tianzhao, the first Destined One, was like slapping the faces of all Destined Ones. In this way, whoever could defeat Long Chen, the Saint King, would have their status and reputation rise like a comet.
Fame and fortune are the most tempting things. Practitioners may not care much about profit, but for fame, they can fight tooth and nail for it, even at the cost of their lives.
As the saying goes, 'A person's passing leaves a name, a geese passing by leaves a voice.' In the long river of history, every prodigy is nothing but the sand of the river, but everyone hopes to leave their most brilliant memory in history.
When Long Chen led his troops to attack the Xuanling Realm, people had already begun to stake out Lingxiao Academy. Just as they expected, terrifying experts began to emerge one after another. Upon hearing Long Chen's news, they came to challenge immediately.
Back then, Long Chen was still in seclusion cultivating in the Xuanling Realm, so naturally no one paid them any attention.
As a result, more and more people gathered. The terrifying prodigies surrounded the main gate of Lingxiao Academy like ants, and if Long Chen didn't go out to fight, they wouldn't leave.
But Long Chen was in the Xuanling Realm and had no idea what was happening here, so naturally he couldn't fight back. As time passed, the area in front of Lingxiao Academy grew increasingly chaotic.
Because of the gathering of prodigies from various races, the dragons and snakes are a mix of dragons and snakes, and many prodigies are arrogant and dislike everyone.
As a result, conflicts frequently erupted among the challengers, with several fierce battles of the Chosen Ones almost daily, and some even killed on the spot.
This made things even livelier. The disciples of Lingxiao Academy sat inside, watching the duel of the Destiny One.
Meanwhile, the strong outsiders also watched for free, and some older experts even came to comment while watching, taking the opportunity to educate their own juniors.
Now, the front gate of Lingxiao Academy had become a battleground for the great prodigies. As long as they didn't approach the gate, the academy ignored them and let them fight fiercely.
However, the strength of these Destiny Beings was clearly far inferior to Minglong Tianzhao. Even if the academy didn't activate the grand formation, they wouldn't pose a threat to the academy.
Over time, people have found it boring. As the saying goes, 'a full bottle is silent, a half bottle clangs.' Those arrogant guys are basically two-sided kids, kids who have never suffered a major loss and have been spoiled.
These people grew up through praise, thinking they were tigers, but when it came to real fighting, they realized they were just kittens.
In the end, under the leadership of some true experts, those who had used this place as a stage to show off were all driven out, and everyone's attention turned to Lingxiao Academy.
Every day, people would take turns calling out formations, their words crude and provocative. The voice of the Destiny One, accompanied by echoes of the Heavenly Dao, echoed word by word into the academy, making it impossible for the grand formation to resist.
It must be said, this kind of cursing easily provokes people's anger. Not only are the disciples in the academy unable to endure it, but even the older generation of experts are being cursed so fiercely that flames fly from their heads.
Because these guys cursed so harshly, besides Long Chen, they had taken Lingxiao Academy from top to bottom, not even the doormen and cooks. The scope was so broad and their curses so vicious that it made people furious.
The three who received the most criticism were Long Chen, Dean Bai Letian, and the Hall Master.
Fortunately, the Hall Master was secluded in an underground chamber and couldn't hear their cursing; otherwise, he would have come out long ago.
As for Dean Bai Letian, he paid no attention to these insults, clearly not caring at all about such humiliation.
But he could ignore it; no one else could ignore him. Humiliating the dean meant humiliating the entire Lingxiao Academy.
The older generation of experts inside the academy repeatedly asked Bai Letian either to notify Long Chen to return, or to allow them to teach these reckless fools a lesson.
In the end, under everyone's pressure, Bai Letian had no choice but to notify Long Chen. When Long Chen and the others returned by flying boat, five Destiny Warriors were standing in front of the main gate of Lingxiao Academy, cursing at length and spitting at each other.
On one hand, they cursed Long Chen for being as timid as a mouse, only knowing how to hide like a turtle; on the other, they cursed Lingxiao Academy for its decline and to disband early. At the same time, they insulted the academy's strong fighters, saying that if they wanted to survive, they should kowtow to them, crawl under their crotches, and spare their lives, and so on. In short, their curses were extremely vicious.
When Long Chen and the others first arrived, they thought they were just provoking them, but upon hearing their cursing, their murderous intent boiled over.
"Long Chen, I heard you have several beautiful women. Hand over your women. Since you're going to die anyway, why not let us enjoy them? Hahaha..."
One of the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced experts laughed loudly with a lecherous expression.
"He's mine."
Bai Shishi's pretty face instantly turned pale with rage, murderous intent surging in her eyes as she rushed out of the flying boat at the first moment.
"Whoosh!"
The moment Bai Shishi dashed out of the flying boat, the space around her body twisted, and she vanished in an instant.
Inside the flying boat, Bai Xiaole's eyes shimmered with three flowers—he was using his pupil technique in coordination with Bai Shishi.
The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced Destiny was cursing enthusiastically, lost in the pleasure of fantasizing, not even hearing a distant cry.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the void behind him trembled, golden divine radiance illuminated the world, a statue of a goddess pierced the sky, golden lotus thrones covered the earth, and the entire world transformed into a golden world.
The moment the goddess statue appeared, the sharp-faced, monkey-faced Destiny's face changed dramatically. He reacted quickly, and before he could summon the phenomenon, he suddenly produced a giant shield.
On the giant shield, runes swirled, and an ancient aura spread out. The sacred pressure made one's heart tremble—it was a powerful immortal shield.
"Boom!"
At the very moment he summoned his shield, a golden sword stabbed fiercely into the immortal shield. With a thunderous explosion, the powerful immortal shield shattered with a thunderous crash.
"Pfft!"
One of the Destiny's arm, with the sharp-mouthed monkey-faced one, was blown apart. He screamed in terror and desperately retreated.
"Golden Soul Refining!"
"Buzz!"
Bai Shishi shouted angrily. She formed hand seals with her jade-like hand, and suddenly a golden divine pool appeared in the void. As soon as the golden divine pool appeared, the terrifying heat twisted the heavens and earth.
The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced Destiny Warrior was crashing into the Golden Divine Pool. The moment he entered, smoke began to rise from his body and he let out a piercing scream.
