Chapter 104: The Battle for Supremacy

  The Central Academy has four major institutes, namely East, South, West and North. The competition between the four institutes has always been fierce. Every year, they compete for excellent students, and this year is no exception. In fact, it's even more intense than previous years because there are four awakened bloodlines among the new students, including the first angelic bloodline in a thousand years. To win over this angelic bloodline, the leaders of the four institutes almost all came out in full force, and the competition was incredibly fierce. The leaders of the four institutes even nearly got into a fight, but eventually, the Elder Hall intervened, holding six meetings to finally settle the matter.

  The strongest Dongyuan snatched Xue Yawan, who had the Angel's bloodline. The other three houses were not convinced, but they could only do so, after all, the Longlao Temple had intervened. In the struggle, they indeed lost to Dongyuan. Fortunately, each of the three major houses got an awakened bloodline: Nan House won Huang Quan, Bei House won Xi Ruochen, and Xi House won Mo Qingxiu.

  The four awakened bloodlines have been distributed, but this does not mean that the struggle between the four major institutes has come to an end.

  They are now vying for Chen Luo, a spiritual sea of death, yet possessing spiritual power of ten turns, and its mutation power is even more violent than the power rules.

  On this day, the bigwigs of the four major courts gathered in the grand hall and launched a war of words.

  "I say, you Eastern Courtyard people are being too greedy, having obtained the Angelic Bloodline, why are you still competing with us for that abnormal little brat."

  "It can't be said that way, the four of us competing is purely based on luck, we got the Angel's Bloodline, it's what we deserved, not like we cheated to get it. Still the old rules, the four of us playing the Heavenly Plate, let Heaven decide, whoever has good luck, the freak will belong to them."

  If outsiders knew that the big shots of the four major institutes of Central Academy were competing for students in a gambling way, I don't know if they would be shocked. In fact, this rule has been passed down for a very long time. Whenever they encounter outstanding students, the four major institutes will use the heavenly disk to make decisions.

  However, the other three institutes seem to be unhappy because Dongyuan snatched the Angel Bloodline, which made them very dissatisfied. This time, the abnormal child, the three institutes tacitly decided to kick out Dongyuan.

  Just as the four major courtyards were arguing and quarreling, a person suddenly burst into the main hall. This person was an old man, who looked like he was in his seventies or eighties, but was still very spirited, with a white beard that was particularly eye-catching. He was none other than the Eighth Elder of the Central Academy, whom everyone feared and avoided. When they saw him appear, the big shots of the four major courtyards all shut their mouths obediently.

  The old man narrowed his eyes, scanned the room, walked to the high platform, sat in the seat belonging to the master of the house, raised his legs, picked up the tea cup beside him, shook his head slightly, blew gently, took a light sip, and smacked his lips twice.

  The big shots of the four major courts looked at each other, seemingly all puzzled and unsure what this old man meant.

  "I heard you're fighting over that perverted Chen kid?"

  "Hmm, I wonder what insight the Eighth Elder has?"

  "Actually, I didn't come to see you all today, but I want to tell you something about that pervert kid. I have other plans for him, so you don't need to fight over it."

  What!

  The big shots of the four courts stood up and looked at each other, and the big shot of the East Court immediately said: "Eighth Elder, this is probably not good, every trial student is our responsibility to settle, you are a elder, but also can't..."

  Although they usually have some fear of the eight elders, now that the managers of the four major institutes are all here, the people from the East Institute stepped forward, and the other three institutes also stood up to accuse them without hesitation. The implication is very clear: Eight Elders, aren't your claws stretched too far? It's fine to manage trivial matters usually, but now you're even managing the allocation of students? You old man are managing things a bit too broadly, aren't you?

  "No way! Our East Wing will absolutely not agree!"

  "We in the Western Palace also disagree!"

  "We in the Southern Court also disagree!"

  The four major courtyards all stood up, and just as they did, the Eighth Elder suddenly stood up, grabbed the teacup in his hand and smashed it on the main hall floor. This shut up the big shots of the four major courtyards. The Eighth Elder's small eyes scanned them coldly, and he snorted, "You dare to defy me, you little turtle bastards? Did I say I needed your approval? Today, I'm just here to tell you that whether you agree or not, this matter is settled."

  "The Eight Elders..."

  The big shots in the East Courtyard have always been quite overbearing, and even when facing the Eight Elders who are feared by everyone, they still have a lot of confidence. However, as soon as they opened their mouths this time, they were shut down by the Eight Elders.

  "You think the old man doesn't know what you're plotting, you little turtles of the East House? The four major houses are all about competing with each other, and you're just trying to snatch that abnormal kid because of his strong fighting power. But I'd like to ask you, you bunch of East House bastards, even if you get your hands on that kid, what can you teach him? That kid doesn't have a spiritual sea, but he has the power of mutation, and it's beyond the rules of strength. What can you possibly teach him?"

  The big shots in the East Courtyard were speechless, indeed, a person who died in the Spiritual Sea but possessed the power of variation was originally not in line with common sense. What's even more bizarre is that his power of variation exceeded the rules of power. How to teach such a special student?

  "You three institutes' turtle sons shouldn't laugh, the East Institute can't teach you, and you don't have this ability. Also, I really want to ask you one thing, when you guys took a liking to that perverted kid, was it because of his combat strength or potential? It's all because of his combat strength, right? That kid has such strong combat strength, he will definitely make you guys proud in future competitions, won't he? Which one of you is looking at his potential? None, right? Not even a single person from the Linghai Institute, what kind of potential could he possibly have?"

  The words of the Eighth Elder made all the bigwigs of the Four Great Halls lower their heads. As the Eighth Elder said, the Four Great Halls had snatched away Jue Xing's bloodline because they saw potential in them, while they snatched away Chen Luo because they saw his combat power. What about potential? Did he have any? A person who died in the Spiritual Ocean was someone even children knew had no potential to speak of; how could these bigwigs of the Four Great Halls not know this?

  "There's another thing, I'm telling you to give up on that abnormal kid for your own good. At the 13th level, that abnormal kid went one-on-one with Xi Ruochen and Mo Qingyu, you all saw it with your own eyes, that kid is not a kind soul, extremely wild and violent-tempered, once he gets angry, he's completely lawless, crazily out of control. If you were to take him in, what if some ignorant kid in the institute provokes him, have you thought about the consequences? If one of your institute's key disciples accidentally gets beaten into a cripple by him, at that time, you won't even have anywhere to cry."

  "He dares, does it mean our teachers in the East Wing are just decorations?"

  "Does he dare?" The Eighth Elder sneered and shouted, "That little brat pointed at your noses and told you to scram and die at the 13th pass, have you forgotten? He doesn't even put you in his eyes, would he be afraid of those teachers? He dares to scold even me, what else wouldn't that kid dare to do?" After a pause, the Eighth Elder continued, "I've breathed more air in this lifetime than you've absorbed spiritual energy. That kid's aura at the time was not fake, I don't know where he got such great courage from, but I can guarantee that if he hadn't fainted, it's possible that little brat would have really dared to wipe all of you out."

  "Don't think that I'm fooling around, that kid's mutation power has exceeded the rules of strength, it's extremely violent, so violent that it can affect his temperament. Once he unleashes his mutation power, he can't control it at all, and his heart will also go wild. Let alone you guys, even if the Heavenly King himself descended to earth, that kid wouldn't bat an eyelid."

  The big shots of the Four Great Halls started discussing in a low voice, seemingly agreeing with the Eighth Elder's words. However, the big shot from the East Hall still refused to give up and said: "Eighth Elder, what you said is indeed reasonable, and we also acknowledge that we took a liking to that kid because of his strong fighting power. But now our East Hall has decided that if we recruit that kid, we will definitely go all out to tap into his potential."

  "Dig your butt!" The Eighth Elder cursed, saying: "Old Zhang just probed his spiritual sea and is still lying there motionless, his soul suffered a great shock. It's unknown whether he can wake up in the future, maybe he'll become a vegetable from now on. How are you digging? In case you don't dig out that kid's potential, but instead all of you become vegetables."

  As soon as Old Zhang was mentioned, everyone suddenly remembered that there was such a thing, and their expressions became complicated. Thinking carefully, it seemed that the abnormal kid was indeed a disaster, bringing him in, not to mention that he couldn't be taught, but also had the risk of becoming a vegetable person, and also posed a great threat to other students.

  "Uh, Eighth Elder, your nose is bleeding..."

  The old man wiped his hand and scolded, "Damn it, this isn't over yet! Now you know why I've been nagging you all along? Look! My nosebleed is a perfect example. Even my soul was shocked, non-stop bleeding. Whoever dares to investigate him will end up like Old Zhang, a vegetable!"

  Seeing this scene, the bigwigs of the four major hospitals completely lost interest in Chen Luo, not even a little bit. That kid was simply a disaster.

  "Elder Eight, may I ask how you plan to settle him?"

  "The old master has already thought about it, first settle him in the sixth courtyard."

  "The Sixth Institute? Only problematic students would be sent to the Sixth Institute."

  The Sixth College is also known as the Abandoned Academy, gathering some 'chicken ribs' that are tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon for the academia.

  "What the hell, you think that kid is okay?"

  "Have you seen the death of Lingsheng and the power of variation?"

  "Have you ever seen anyone with a spiritual power of over 100,000 turns?"

  "Have you ever seen the power of mutation exceed the rules?"

  "Have you ever seen the Dead Sea devouring souls?"

  "Laozi's soul was scared out of his shit, and his nosebleed flowed for three jin, do you guys think that little bastard doesn't have a problem?"

  "It's no good, I have to go back for a while. This nosebleed doesn't seem like it will stop anytime soon."

  As they walked to the door, the Eighth Elder said again: "Right, almost forgot, deprive that kid of his ranking and only give him admission as a special recruit."

  "Why?"

  "Damn it, was it that I didn't make myself clear earlier or are you all idiots? Not stripping him of his ranking, do you want to wait until school starts and those blind little bastards come to provoke and challenge him? Do you want the geniuses from your four major institutes to be beaten into cripples?"
