CHAPTER 1011: CHAPTER 811: THE HERO CLUB WANTS TO ESTABLISH AN ACADEMY TOO (GRAND CHAPTER)

In the stands, countless Transcendents looked panicked.

The energy, like a tsunami, was just 0.1 seconds away from devouring them.

At this moment,

The umbrella-shaped expanding Energy Cloud stopped.

The whirling earth and stones halted.

The wind ceased.

Ji Kaipeng, who was falling from mid-air, also stopped, a few drops of blood frozen just centimeters from his mouth.

For a few solid seconds,

The Energy Cloud, like a gigantic, colorful spirit mushroom, grew on the arena.

It seemed as if even the breathing of the audience had paused.

The Transcendents searched.

The City Lord of Green Shadow sat calmly in his seat.

By his side, the Personal Guard Captain showed no expression.

It wasn’t their doing.

Who else could easily freeze such terrifying energy?

Gradually, their eyes fell to the front of the stands, where a fair arm extended, fingers spread wide.

"It’s the Vice Principal of World Tree Academy, Shanggong Ling!"

Shanggong Ling had spoken on behalf of the Academy that morning, but she wasn’t among the top experts on Green Shadow City’s list.

With one move, she astonished everyone present.

But it didn’t end there.

A few seconds later, the massive Energy Cloud began to reverse and contract.

Like a blooming flower gradually closing.

A few seconds later, the colorful energy flow had vanished, replaced by the huge meteor in the sky and the gigantic Sword Light Duan Qin had slashed.

"It’s a time reversal!!!"

Many Transcendents, who had sat down limply with relief, stood up again.

Watching a graduation assessment, they didn’t know how many times they had gone up and down.

Time continued to rewind.

The meteor reversed, decomposing into countless small fragments of earth and stone.

They swiftly landed.

The dozens of meters long Sword Light also retracted, sinking into Duan Qin’s Yanyue Blade.

Duan Qin locked in mid-air, appeared bewildered.

Soon enough,

The arena’s ground also restored itself, Ji Kaipeng’s expelled blood returned, swallowed back down in one gulp, his injuries rapidly healed, and he quickly awoke in a daze.

He: "???"

Looking around, the entire arena had returned to its original state.

Even the surrounding Barrier had closed once more.

As if the intense battle just now was merely a dream.

All around the arena,

Countless spectators were silent for a long time before bursting out with screams.

The referee announced the result of the battle.

Naturally, Duan Qin won.

The moment Shanggong Ling acted was precisely when Ji Kaipeng lost consciousness and his combat ability; she timed it perfectly.

This ensured the objectivity and fairness of the battle.

It also ensured the safety of the surrounding spectators.

Perfect.

Emotionless, Shanggong Ling felt her handling of the situation deserved at least an 82.

The audience didn’t see it that way, almost scared to death.

Yet more than that, they were in awe, wondering when Green Shadow City had acquired another top-tier powerhouse.

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Meng Jingran asked, "This person...?"

"Just a little bit of time manipulation, it can’t truly reverse life and death, and the coverage area was just the arena,"

Tang Yu waved a hand dismissively.

Did no one notice Shanggong Ling locked Duan Qin first before reversing time?

Ji Kaipeng’s injuries weren’t severe; the time reversal was merely on some energy and the damaged arena grounds.

Not worth fretting over.

Though the corner of Meng Jingran’s mouth still twitched, he said no more.

Upon careful thought, it’s just time reversing.

Hasn’t Green Shadow City accomplished many great things?

Perhaps having been dormant for too long, this time, it was indeed shocking.

The graduation assessment had concluded, the remaining steps were flavorless.

Some high-level foreign forces left Green Shadow City that very day.

There were also some who lingered in Green Shadow, staying a few days, then staying longer, eventually almost reluctant to leave.

...

Hero Club, Hero City.

The city’s Transmission Array radiated light, and as the light dispersed, over a dozen silhouettes appeared.

They were exchange students returning to their hometowns during the World Tree Academy’s break.

While traveling to the destination by airship took some time, returning via the Transmission Array was instantaneous.

Vito gazed at the bustling Hero City and exhaled long.

Home.

He was somewhat excited.

After all, this was the longest he had been away from home.

"The Transmission Array is really convenient, saving more than ten hours of drifting in the sky."

"However, one can’t stay too long; Hero City is too comfortable, I will surely be surpassed by others if I linger."

Encountering Duan Qin during the graduation assessment was rather unfortunate.

In the eyes of outsiders, Vito was defeated by Duan Qin in just three moves, the quickest end among the top sixteen matches.

But in the eyes of the Academy’s mentors, Vito’s performance wasn’t bad.

He successfully joined the Transcendent Class as he wished.

Along with him, only Eva, Yao Zhaokong, and Gu Tang were selected from the exchange students for the Transcendent Class.

This year, a total of twelve students were admitted, a relatively large number for a class.

Vito was quite relieved.

As an exchange student, even if not admitted to the Transcendent Class, he could still remain at World Tree Academy for another year.

But it was ultimately different.

He didn’t want to stay at the Academy solely because of his special status.

It was also because of the uniqueness of the Transcendent Class.

The Transcendent Class is very mysterious; Vito hadn’t met any of its students.

But he had heard some rumors.

Where Heavenly Prides of the same level exchange with each other.

Top-tier experts provide face-to-face guidance.

Super Tier Combat Skills, Magic, and even special secret techniques, whatever the students desired, could be found in the Transcendent Class.

The Transcendent Class also used credits as currency.

However, it was no longer about rigid Cultivation or passing levels, but focused more on real combat.

By accepting real combat missions, earning credits to exchange for Cultivation Resources and secret techniques.

But Vito was puzzled,

On Earth, where else could real combat take place?

Of the few new continents, except for the Demon Plant Continent where it is said a Third Tier Transcendent emerged, the strongest on the other continents were only Second Tier.
