Chapter 170: Demonic Dragon Nine Luminaries
“This person is quite interesting!”
Mu Yuan could not help but look at this “Huang Xuedi.” He saw that he wore a light blue scholar’s robe, and his face was like warm jade, giving him an elegant air. His features were delicate, and his body was strong and handsome. However, at that moment, his face showed a look of indignation and anger, giving him an added air of dignity!
Moreover, this person also had a strong presence. Although it was far less than his own, it was vast and continuous, full of righteous energy.
This was not surprising to Mu Yuan.
The disciples of the Confucian school all practiced the art of cultivating their qi. They might not necessarily understand divine abilities, but once they learned the method, those with a solid foundation in qi cultivation could advance rapidly and reach the peak of cultivation.
Longyue Academy in Tianlong Kingdom, Shanhe Academy in Tiandu Kingdom, the Righteousness Academy in Heavenly Firmament, and the Wenli Academy in the southern Kingdom of the Sky were the four great academies in the Divine Land.
The head of Shanhe Academy, Ling Xuanji, could kill the successor of the Tidal Flow, which showed his cultivation level!
And Ling Siyuan, whom Mu Yuan had met, was also a cultivator!
But not all academy disciples possessed divine abilities. Those students who were determined to enter the world and assist in governing the country did not know them. Only the true disciples would be granted the true cultivation methods by the academy head!
But all students had to study the six arts, cultivating their qi and refining their bodies. If they were noticed by the academy head, once they started cultivating, their progress would be very fast!
This “Huang Xuedi” did not have any divine abilities, but his skill in cultivating qi was good. He had a dignified presence without being angry, giving off a sense of awe!
“How dare you, Huang Li! You actually wrote rebellious poems! Have you forgotten the principles of serving the country and cultivating yourself that you usually studied?”
“That’s right, Huang Li! You are audacious! After failing the exam, you actually developed such rebellious thoughts. Let us capture you and bring you to the academy head for punishment!”
Two students dressed similarly immediately pointed and shouted. As they spoke, they pushed their way through and moved to seize Huang Li!
Huang Li was already filled with worry and anger. Seeing these two rush at him to deal with him, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. “So eager to show your loyalty to Feng Wuyou already? How fickle the world is, how fickle!”
The two students who rushed at him fought with fists and kicks, but Huang Li knocked them all to the ground and stepped on them!
For a moment, the crowd became agitated, and several more people jumped out.
“Huang Li, how dare you resist! This is treason! If you come back to the academy with us quietly, maybe nothing will happen. Otherwise, you will be expelled and have no hope for life!”
“Hahaha! Expelled! Such an imperial exam is not worth taking! Everyone knows that I, Huang Li, am highly talented, the top scholar of Longyue Academy! If not for Feng Wuyou’s wealthy family background, how could it be his turn!”
Huang Li appeared crazed as he shouted loudly.
Mu Yuan sighed. In the minds of these students, the blow of failing the imperial exam was like cultivators learning that there was no hope ahead. Feeling depressed and lost, it was no wonder they acted this way!
Feng Wuyou, who was surrounded by the crowd, slowly stepped forward. He wore a moon-white scholar’s robe that fluttered elegantly. He was handsome and tall, with a smile on his face. Because he had passed the imperial exam, his every movement carried a graceful and magnificent air. He truly was as splendid as jade!
“Brother Huang, that is not right. Who can say the imperial exam is foolproof? Even if one is highly talented, how can everything be under control? Just because things didn’t go your way, you act like this. You have truly disgraced our Longyue Academy!”
“Feng Wuyou, why pretend? Your father bribed the chief examiner beforehand. Did you think you could hide it from everyone?”
Feng Wuyou smiled gently and rubbed his hands lightly. “It seems Brother Huang is determined to believe that I, Feng Wuyou, cheated in the exam. After years as classmates, hearing you say this truly saddens me!”
“However, after the exam, you wrote rebellious poems. For the reputation of Longyue Academy, I have no choice but to take you back to the academy and hand you over to the academy head for punishment!”
Huang Li laughed loudly. “What right do you have to take me? In my eyes, all of you are nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs!”
Feng Wuyou let out a light “oh,” still wearing a faint smile. “Is that so? I would like to see how Brother Huang plans to knock me to the ground!”
He gently flicked his right hand, and a pure white light burst forth, emitting a chilling cold. It twisted in the air like an iron chain, heading straight for Huang Li!
“This is…”
Huang Li’s expression changed. Seeing the zhenqi chain closing in, he hurriedly leaped away.
He had heard of the ways of cultivation, but he never expected Feng Wuyou to know them!
The zhenqi was incredibly fast. Huang Li only had full qi channels but was ultimately just an ordinary person. How could he resist? Just as he was about to be bound, a burst of loud laughter was heard!
“What a fine ‘When my flower blooms, all others perish’! The court won’t accept you, the academy won’t tolerate you, but I like you!”
Then came a dazzling, intense light, as if the sun had descended into the tavern. Where the light reached, a fierce wind swept through, and even Mu Yuan felt unsteady on his feet.
Feng Wuyou’s zhenqi disappeared like snow under the scorching sun.
Mu Yuan’s eyes shone with divine light. Seeing the white light as intense as fire, with nine fire dragons faintly circling, his heart stirred, and he exclaimed, “Demonic Dragon Nine Luminaries, Sky-Scorching Roaring Fire!”
“Oh!”
The voice sounded slightly surprised. Then, one of the coiled fire dragons separated from the fireball and swooped down toward Mu Yuan, twisting and coiling around him!
“So meddlesome!”
Mu Yuan sighed inwardly. His Tide True Qi shot out, forming a giant divine turtle in mid-air with a dragon’s tail. Its black shell was covered in patterns, deep and silent, but its aura was sharp and vast, like turbulent currents, unpredictable to others!
The Black Tortoise and the fire dragon collided, and a loud “sizzling” sound was heard. Countless water vapors rose, and Mu Yuan’s body shook. He staggered slightly and flew backward!
“Hehe!”
The person let out a wild laugh. The intense white light stirred up a hurricane, swept up Huang Li, and broke through the window, flying out!
As the white light faded, Mu Yuan’s face turned slightly pale. He saw that Feng Wuyou and the others had already rolled down the tavern. Paying them no mind, he leaned against the window and looked out. The intense white light, like a rainbow across the sky, had already soared high into the air!
Demonic Dragon Nine Luminaries was a great divine ability of the Sounding Fire Devil Sect.
This person could instantly summon nine dragons surrounding the sun. He was probably a strong cultivator nearing the immortal body!
“Who dares to snatch someone from my Longyue Academy!”
A clear voice rose from a grand academy not far away, followed by a white light, like an ice dragon, wrapped in cold currents, shooting straight up!
Although the four great academies all cultivated Vast Righteous Qi, Shanhe Academy focused on sword arts, with its most famous divine ability being the “Crimson Flame Sword Light Art.” The Righteousness Academy had the “Boundless Bright Fire,” Wenli Academy had the “Yin Yang Illusion God Way,” and Longyue Academy had the “Ten Directions Ice God Qi.”
No matter how they varied, the four academies shared the same goal: all could cultivate Vast Righteous Qi to drive away demons and eliminate evil.
This soaring ice dragon should be Longyue Academy’s “Ten Directions Ice God Qi”!
“Old man Lin Zongyue, I will teach this child for you. No need to see me off!”
The person from the Sounding Fire Devil Sect let out a series of long laughs. The fire dragon swooped down, crashing into the ice dragon, while he himself soared far away!
“No need to trouble yourself. My own disciple does not need a Demonic Sect member to interfere!”
Beneath the ice dragon, a figure burst forth, chasing after the demonic fire!
“Thump, thump, thump!”
A series of footsteps sounded. Feng Wuyou and the others rushed up the stairs again, pushing past Mu Yuan. Gazing at the ice and fire shadows in the sky, Feng Wuyou said angrily, “The academy head has personally taken action. I’ll see where that demon can run!”
Among the group, only he knew Longyue Academy’s “Ten Directions Ice God Qi” and could recognize who had made the move.
Mu Yuan looked over and saw two clear palm prints on Feng Wuyou’s handsome face, swollen high. Clearly, the person from the Sounding Fire Devil Sect had struck him!
Seeing a handsome man turned into a pig’s head, Mu Yuan could not help but laugh.
“What are you laughing at?”
Feng Wuyou was sharp-eyed and already feeling angry and resentful. Seeing Mu Yuan cross his path, he directed all his rage at him!
“What? Do you have an opinion, sir?”
Mu Yuan said cheerfully.
A white aura flashed around Feng Wuyou, and a cold air spread out. The students around him shivered and could not help but step back.
“How ungrateful!”
Seeing Feng Wuyou being so unreasonable, Mu Yuan transformed his zhenqi into Great Sun True Fire. The scorching heat surged, pressing back Feng Wuyou’s Ten Directions Ice God Qi completely!
Only then did Feng Wuyou snap back to his senses. Realizing he had encountered an expert, he suppressed his anger slightly and clasped his hands. “Sir, we are students of Longyue Academy. May I ask your honorable name?”
Mu Yuan did not commit. “I saw it. You were the ones who drove Huang Li away. Don’t think that passing the exam means you’ve reached the heavens. I don’t even care about Tianlong Kingdom, so don’t try to pressure me with Longyue Academy. But I can’t be bothered to lower myself to your level!”
With that, he leaped into the air, following the trails of ice and fire, and chased after them!
Mu Yuan was still somewhat interested in that Huang Li!
Although Huang Li talked big, his own cultivation talent did not seem particularly high. The person from the Sounding Fire Devil Sect had taken him away, offending Longyue Academy for no reason. He wondered what their goal was!
Among the Demonic Sects, those famous for fire were the Sounding Fire Devil Sect, the Flaring Sun Demonic Sect, and the Qianyang Fire Sect!
Among them, Demonic Dragon Nine Luminaries, Flaring Sun Nine Transformations, and Qian Yang Heavenly Fire were all not inferior to Great Sun True Fire!
They were on par with the Daoist Sect’s Southern Bright Leaving Fire, Nirvana True Fire, and the Vermilion Bird’s Star Fire. All were renowned fire-based divine abilities in the world!
Mu Yuan could tell that Lin Zongyue of Longyue Academy had not cultivated his Primordial Spirit, which reassured him and gave him the courage to pursue them.
With his cultivation level, he could still escape from these people.
Moreover, he had no intention of confronting them. He just wanted to observe and relieve his boredom!
Feng Wuyou’s facial muscles trembled uncontrollably. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh!
“You people, one day, I will make you see how powerful I am!”
