Chapter 497 - Presentation
"Let's go!"The old man shouted angrily and brought out a small fan which expended into a green coloured fan that blanketed most of the skies.
The elders and the disciples of the Green Leaf Mountain flew away in anger.
David heaved a sigh of relief when seeing this. Things would have become very troublesome if the old man had spotted him.
The Dean bowed with clasped hands towards the two other heaven realm experts.
"We will meet again."
With that, he glanced at David and glanced away.
"Li!"
A golden brilliance erupted as a large sword covered the entire clouds. "Let's go."
He knew of he remained here any longer, more trouble may occur which was why immediately wanted to leave.
"Hop on, let's get out of here." The Dean stated with a stern expression. He only hoped what David had promised was true.
David jumped and landed with the other disciples, making himself as inconspicuous as possible.
The sword started accelerating slightly when another person roared and form the change in the weather, it was an heaven realm expert!
"Who the hell is David!?"
The dean's sword was starting to slow down when he heard another voice transmission.
His expression darkened and he knew things would be very difficult if he slowed down. As though he hadn't heard the roar, the Dean's large sword flew forwards like a bullet, heading towards the academy.
"Just how many atrocities has this boy committed!?"
The journey was quiet and the atmosphere was slightly tense. While most where happy with their increase in strength and their haul, the death of numerous disciples placed a stone in several hearts.
Even the elders didn't talk much and the Dean did nothing to change the atmosphere. It was alright to mourn y e ones they lost. And when they got back to the academy, they would rejoice at their success.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye and a week had passed.
David didn't dare to practice the heaven-grade technique on the top of the large sword, he only meditated, trying to make get used to the massive increase in his strength within this period of time.
He could feel his body rumbling as the restriction holding his gene disappeared the moment he had been teleported out of the sacred realm.
His muscles rumbled and reverberated, releasing oscillating sounds whose frequency couldn't be heard by the ordinary human ears.
Whoosh!
His blood flowed, circulating softly within his body ever so slowly. His heart pumped his blood out and in of his blood vessels, his muscles and tissue.
His heartbeat moved so slowly, it beat once in three minutes. It was as though he was a dead man walking, at the verge of death, but David was simply training his genetic body.
Suddenly, the sword started to slow down. David opened his eyes and saw that they were already within the academy
The other elders were already at the gates of the academy, to welcome them.
When they saw the amount of students that were coming back, they had various change of expressions.
"Welcome back home Dean!" The elders voices rumbled, while the students followed and shouted out along with them.
The Dean stood tall at the tip of the sword and nodded his head down at the crowds of people.
He took in a deep breath. And his voice rumbled throughout the entire academy. "A moment of silence for those whom we've lost."
The entire academy immediately descended to silence and in the blink of an eye, a minutes passed.
"Now, let's cheer for those who survived to grow stronger!"
A loud rumbled resounded as hundreds of thousands of disciples shouted out in joy.
"While we've lost some of out people, most of which are our dear ones, our friends, families or lovers, we have also gained even more experts at the earth-realm with potential to reach heaven realm in the future."
"In just a few years, another heaven realm expert would be appear within our academy, this is something worth celebrating!"
"All disciples shall be given a bottle of bone refining pills and there shall not be any task given to anyone for a week."
With that, the entire students erupted in cheers! A bone refining pill although not very expensive, it was something that could refine the body and the bones, it could be said that the sect was being very generous.
As hundreds of disciples would be the one to receive the pills.
"Let's go."
The Dean flew the blade and when they reached the entrance of a very large hall, the sword halted and the disciples got down from the large blade.
The Dean and the elders opened the door and entered, various elder sat down while the head sat at the middle seat, it was a very large and luxurious seat.
"Now that we are all back and settled, present your emblem and your treasures and you shall be rewarded." One of the elders stood up and announced.
The hundreds of students remained quiet but after a couple of seconds, one of them stepped out and he brought out a couple of storage rings.
Dumping his loots down on the ground, he presented it to the elders and the Dean.
One of the Dean stood up and with his mental energy, he scanned the materials and goods on the ground and he said with a smile. " Lu Rong, now an earth-realm expert. Has presented four grade two herbs, 27 grade one herbs, 1 peak-mortal realm technique."
The elders smiled. "A good lad."
"Although the treasures he brought aren't much, he has stayed alive and had survived the sacred realm, his potential is also not bad, I will take him as my disciple." One of the elders smiled.
Lu Rong was stunned but he quickly recovered and bowed with an excited look.
"I thank master for taking me in."
"Haha, Elder Ming, congratulations on accepting a new disciple."
"Haha, thank you, Thank you."
"Lets continue."
