CHAPTER 199: CHAPTER 199: IS THE HUMAN RACE ACADEMY REALLY LIKE THIS?

"Ding! Your son has humiliated the Demon Race prodigy Ying Kong, automatically recharging 18 points of ’Daddy Honor Value.’ Your current balance is 45.6 points of ’Daddy Honor Value.’

The system’s voice echoed in Qin Chuan’s ears.

At the same moment, a heart-wrenching roar also erupted.

"Ying Kong!!"

The Elder Ying Sun of the Demon Race, his face twisted with rage, his eyes blood-red, and his aura instantly went berserk.

"Swoosh!"

With a flash, he disappeared.

In the next moment, he fell from the sky, seemingly trying to rush to the plaza, but was blocked midway.

"Elder Ying Sun, what are you trying to do?"

An Elder of Purple Cloud Academy floated in the air, looking at the falling Demon Race Elder with a mocking gaze.

"Ying Kong is dead. Can’t I go see him?"

Elder Ying Sun said with resentment.

"I suspect you’re not just going for a look, are you?" the other elder from Purple Cloud Palace said playfully.

They guessed this old fellow was up to murder since, no matter the era, there are always those who can’t afford to lose.

Just like ten years ago.

An elder from Purple Cloud Academy, accompanied by his grandson, went to blockade the Shattered Star Academy. His grandson was killed by a Demon Race prodigy.

As a result, this elder erupted in a killing spree against demons, managing to slay the astonishing Demon Race prodigy—even though in the end, he was killed by a strong being from the Shattered Star Academy and salted into dried meat, still hanging at the Shattered Star Academy’s entrance, making countless demons crave...

If the elders of Purple Cloud Academy could act this way, the elders of Shattered Star Academy naturally could too; it’s all about putting oneself in another’s shoes!

Their suspicion was not unnecessary.

In fact, at that moment, Elder Ying Sun was indeed preparing to kill Qin Zi in a mutual destruction move.

After all, his grandson, whom he had high hopes for, was dead, and he had also caused the Shattered Star Academy to lose the Celestial Slayer True Gold vein.

This double blow gave him thoughts of despair.

"Ding! An Emperor Tribulation of the seventh tier, an emperor with eight tribulations, has murderous intent towards your son. Upholding the principle that fatherly love is as imposing as a mountain—and the father must win—your cultivation will be elevated to that of a sixth-tier Emperor Tribulation, invincible in the same realm!"

The system’s voice rang out.

Then, Qin Chuan felt his power burgeon rapidly, one wave after another, akin to nuclear fission, powerful to the point of nearly exploding!

"Hmm?!"

The Purple Cloud Palace Master beside him narrowed his eyes and whipped his head towards Qin Chuan, showing a dignified look.

What happened?

Earlier, he clearly sensed that this person had the cultivation of a two-tier tribulation, so how did it suddenly become six-tier!

This change was without warning, and the range was so large that it couldn’t possibly be an on-the-spot breakthrough; thus, there was only one possibility:

The other party was hiding their strength!!

He was a quasi-emperor, and a quasi-emperor formed from nine tribulations, yet the other party could hide before him—this was highly unusual.

"Fragment Continent... The rules of Fragment Continent are incomplete, impossible to give birth to such a being unless... it’s the resurrection of an ancient powerhouse."

Silently.

Qin Chuan appeared mysterious and immense in his eyes.

"Hmph! You hypocritical humans, judging others by yourselves, do you think I would be like you!"

Elder Ying Sun snorted coldly.

At this point, after the passionate impulse subsided, he also calmed down, especially upon recalling the piece of old dried meat hanging outside the Shattered Star Academy’s gate, he couldn’t help but shiver.

Almost acted on impulse!!

"If that’s the case, then please leave. According to the etiquette of our two races, a prodigy slain at the gate still dies in honor. Our Purple Cloud Academy will specifically send someone to return Ying Kong’s body."

The Purple Cloud Palace Master said calmly.

"...Much obliged."

Elder Ying Sun replied with a trembling voice after a long silence.

After speaking, he soared into the sky, transforming into a massive black eagle. His wings flapped, causing a gust of demonic wind as he rapidly flew away.

Over at the plaza.

Seeing the old demon leave, the disciples of Purple Cloud Academy cheered instantly, many of them surrounding Qin Zi, chattering.

Standing at the center of the crowd, Qin Zi had the demeanor of a precocious young man, chatting freely with everyone, vaguely saying things like: "There are both red and green ones, even those that frighten ghosts, Bodhisattva hands too... when people get thirsty while walking, they pick a melon to eat, which isn’t considered stealing in our place..."

Meanwhile, the elders suddenly remembered something.

"Eh, where’s Master Yulin?!"

Someone exclaimed suddenly, causing a ripple effect among everyone as they reacted.

They looked around.

Besides a large group of unfamiliar young people, a few unfamiliar emperors, and the Purple Cloud Academy’s honor guard, there was no sign of Master Yulin.

Previously, they had been focused on the battle in the plaza and didn’t notice this, subconsciously assuming Master Yulin was also watching from the side since the old fellow loved nothing more than watching the fun, showing off, and gambling.

"Reporting to the Palace Master and elders, Elder Yulin, he... encountered danger in the Fragment Continent..."

A disciple of the honor guard knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and spoke cautiously.

"What?!"

"How can that be!"

"Those Fragment Continent rules are flawed, it’s impossible for too powerful a being to exist there. Even if there were, they would have arrived at the Main Continent long ago. Master Yulin, the old fellow, is already a nine-tier Emperor Tribulation, how could he..."

The elders found it hard to accept this reality.

Not only because they shared deep friendships with Master Yulin but more importantly... Master Yulin still owed them a lot of gambling debts!

"Esteemed elders, I’m speaking the truth. In the northern sea of the Fragment Continent, an ancient giant beast lurks. The Third Elder wielded the Giant Que Sword against that creature, initially gaining the upper hand, but later became careless..."

The disciple tried to speak as tactfully as possible.

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but believe this tragedy, so they all sighed with regret, shedding a few crocodile tears.

Purple Cloud Academy is actually a relatively loose organization. The academy’s elders come from major families of the Purple Cloud Domain, considered part of the Human Race Holy Hall, usually just poking fun and slacking off.

It’s all plastic friendships.

Otherwise, that piece of "old dried meat" wouldn’t have hung outside the Shattered Star Academy for ten years without anyone retrieving it.

"Alas, people have their joys and sorrows, the moon its full and crescent phases; that’s the age-old difficulty... Notify Master Yulin’s family, let their family send another powerful figure to take over the position of the Third Elder."

The Purple Cloud Palace Master sighed and said.

"Hmm."

"That’s the only way."

Everyone nodded, having no complaint with this hereditary-like appointment, because... this isn’t any kind of benefit.

In fact, being an elder of Purple Cloud Academy is not a good deal. Instead, it’s akin to being conscripted by the Human Race Holy Hall—the academy is set here, each first-rate family of the Purple Cloud Domain must contribute a peak emperor as an elder, and the salary is very low, almost voluntary work!

As for opening the back door for their family descendants, that’s nonsense, because Purple Cloud Academy actually has no threshold.

Any young person of the Human Race can join Purple Cloud Academy, it’s just that... whether they can withstand it is their own matter.

Many mediocre fellows overestimate themselves and sneak into Purple Cloud Academy, only to be beaten up beyond recognition by fellow brothers within days, eventually escaping through a dog hole at night...
