Chapter 2364: Chapter 2332: He Brought It Upon Himself

On the Purple Fir Continent, there are seven great empires.

Among them, the Naval Empire is considered to be one of the weaker empires.

This is evident from Qu Qiu, the renowned dean of Zhuoyan Academy within the Naval Empire.

As one of the flagship academies of the Naval Empire, Qu Qiu is only at the peak of the Domain Realm, yet has not reached the Soul Realm.

And at this moment, among the two individuals blocking Li Chen and his group, there is one person who has reached the Soul Realm.

However, it is obvious this person has just entered the Soul Realm not long ago, as their aura is somewhat unstable.

"Zhang Feiyu!" Seeing the person speaking, Qu Qiu’s face immediately became unsightly.

"Eh?" The middle-aged man at the Soul Realm shook his head: "Dean Qu, we are both deans from Naval Empire’s two major academies, can’t we be slightly diplomatic? Addressing names directly shows that Dean Qu’s cultivation in Kung Fu is lacking!"

At those words, Qu Qiu’s face turned even uglier.

"A month ago, your Profound Ice Academy poached over a dozen geniuses from my academy, don’t tell me you didn’t know!" Qu Qiu said with a grim face.

"Poached?" Dean Zhang Feiyu of Profound Ice Academy shook his head: "That’s not how you should say it, Dean Qu. As the saying goes, good birds choose their trees, those young geniuses simply made better choices. It wasn’t me who forced them to come. Letting your students flow away only shows that you, as a dean, are not competent enough."

"And you, as a dignified dean, going to students’ homes to flaunt your power and semi-threaten them into transferring, that’s competent?" Qu Qiu sneered.

"Dean Qu, you shouldn’t speak recklessly, or I’ll have to challenge you." Zhang Feiyu said merrily: "Oh, I almost forgot, Dean Qu, you’re still stuck at the Domain Realm. Competing with you would be bullying, hahahaha."

"I..." Qu Qiu clenched his fists, but in the end, he still didn’t dare to make a move.

Indeed, Zhang Feiyu had broken through to become a Soul Realm expert half a year ago, while he was still stuck at the peak of the Domain Realm.

Even if it’s an entry-level Soul Realm, the pressure of the Divine Soul Realm at such a level is not something he can contend with.

"Dean Zhang, if you have nothing pressing, please step aside. I need to proceed with the baptism." Qu Qiu said expressionlessly.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot, this time is the once-in-a-millennia Descent of the Holy Soul, I need to take my disciple for soul baptism too." Zhang Feiyu chuckled: "Dean Qu, my disciple has already reached the peak of the Domain Realm. If my disciple surpasses you this time, I think, your Zhuoyan Academy won’t need to continue, eh?"

"About that, Dean Zhang, you shouldn’t worry yourself." Qu Qiu said coldly.

"How can I not worry?" Zhang Feiyu’s gaze flickered as he spoke: "Dean Qu may have forgotten, the spots for Descent of the Holy Soul are seized, you appearing here means you’re one of my competitors."

"You mean to say you intend to come at me?" Qu Qiu’s eyes widened suddenly, staring at Zhang Feiyu fiercely.

"Both of us are deans from the Naval Empire, you know that blocking my breakthrough equals weakening the Naval Empire’s national strength? That’s a crime of treason!" Qu Qiu said.

"Treason? Dean Qu, that’s too serious. Between us, at most, it’s personal animosities, how can it be considered treason?" Zhang Feiyu said leisurely.

The young man beside him appropriately revealed a strange smile, as if mocking Qu Qiu’s lack of self-knowledge.

Li Chen watched from the side, somewhat speechless.

What is all this?

To him, neither side is any good.

One uses any means to suppress the competition, while the other tries to force breakthroughs and blames others.

Neither side is a good thing.

This is Li Chen’s conclusion.

However, with Li Chen’s mindset accumulated over eighty million years, he naturally has his judgment.

When he was weak, he continuously plotted against others stronger than himself to survive, and now it’s even more the case.

Although old man Qu Qiu is a bit cunning, he barely counts as a good person; otherwise, when he went by and saw him, he wouldn’t have stopped to greet him.

Obviously, the old man thinks that someone at Earth Level in a place like the Origin of Holy Souls isn’t very safe.

As for the other one, it’s a different story.

Regardless of whether he’s good or bad, what’s your intention for blocking the way?

"Excuse me." Li Chen stepped forward and said to Zhang Feiyu.

"What did you say?" Zhang Feiyu clearly hadn’t expected a kid following Qu Qiu, only at Earth Level, to dare speak at this time, and not only was the tone lacking in respect, it also seemed quite impatient — did this kid go crazy?

"I said, a good dog doesn’t block the way, move aside, didn’t you hear?" Li Chen said impatiently, picking at his ear.

"Impudent!" The young man beside Zhang Feiyu immediately stepped forward angrily and scolded.

At the same time, the youth’s Domain Realm aura was released, intending to directly overwhelm Li Chen with momentum.

In his eyes, such ants at Earth Level can at least be seriously injured if hit by his momentum; to keep their life would be considered lucky.

This is the price for being disrespectful to my master!

"A load of nonsense."

Li Chen stood still and also rebuked.

But unlike the young man, when Li Chen spoke, the weather changed; it felt as if some power from the nether was stirring.

Before the young man’s aura could hit Li Chen, he suddenly felt as if his brain had been struck by a heavy hammer, his face instantaneously went pale, and his entire body collapsed.

At the same time, he lost control of his bladder and bowels, and a foul smell emerged.

"A man of age, yet still making a mess," Li Chen shook his head, covering his nose, and asked the gaping Zhang Feiyu: "Is this the caliber of students from your academy?"

The soul pressure just now was avoided by Li Chen so Zhang Feiyu was unaffected, only looking at his direct disciple with puzzlement.

What happened?

His direct disciple, a dignified Domain Realm expert, became like this with just a scolding?

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhang Feiyu immediately flew into a rage.

The aura of the Soul Realm unfolded instantly, an intimidating momentum fell, Zhang Feiyu was about to severely punish this Earth Level brat who didn’t know the immensity of the heavens.

But at this moment, a red figure suddenly flew over, kicking Zhang Feiyu in the face.

A dignified Soul Realm expert, before he could act out, saw his teeth fly amid the kick that sent him far off.

"Master, the Holy Soul is urgent, don’t waste time with such people." Red Moon landed, said somewhat reproachfully.

"I understand." Li Chen nodded and smiled: "Just relaxing a bit."

Red Moon muttered "Hmm" and didn’t say more.

Li Chen was relaxing his mood, simultaneously easing the pressure.

He’s afraid the Holy Soul might have no effect on him whatsoever. Though now he seems leisurely, in fact, time was very pressing.

Only Qu Qiu on the side, twitched his mouth twice, but said nothing.

This isn’t my doing to outsmart Zhang Feiyu!

Everyone saw, he brought it upon himself.
