Chapter 494 One Man Overpowers an Entire Sect! Jingfeng Sect Gets Off the Arena!

Jiang Yun's words, "Xiao Chen! This arena is yours!" still echoed over the Colosseum.

Students on the stands, who had been sighing and lamenting the hopelessness of competing for a spot this year just moments ago, now looked as if they had each been forced to drink a whole bottle of aged vinegar. Their faces were twisted in sour expressions.

"That's the third one... that's the third one! The Sacred Student gave Sect Master Feng Tianyang's arena to someone from Longxiang Pavilion again! Liu Qingshuang took Lin Xinmu's arena, Lei Qing took Lin Feng's arena, and now Xiao Chen has taken Sect Master Feng Tianyang's arena. The three people from Longxiang Pavilion who were targeted—the Pavilion Master snatched the arenas back for them one by one! Not a single one missing!"

A student in the top fifty of the Heaven Rankings hugged his head with both hands. His voice was filled with the kind of envy that could only be squeezed out after reaching the extreme of bitterness.

"Why didn't I join Longxiang Pavilion back then? They held on and didn't quit when Longxiang Pavilion was at its lowest point. Now that the Pavilion Master is back, he's backing them up one by one! The spots are delivered directly into their hands! No need to fight! No need to struggle! No need to risk their lives on the arena for days! One word from the Pavilion Master and it's settled! What other faction in the entire Sky Dome Academy can offer this kind of treatment?"

"What's the use of saying all that now?" His companion beside him had an even uglier expression. His mouth twitched several times before he squeezed a sentence out through his teeth.

"When Longxiang Pavilion was first established, Zhao Tiezhu was recruiting everywhere. Have you forgotten how you replied to him? You said, 'What kind of future can a faction established by a freshman have?' and you also said, 'Following a freshman will lead to being swallowed up sooner or later.' What about now? This freshman crushed the sixth place on the Heaven Rankings head-on, trampled the Jingfeng Sect from beginning to end, and personally delivered three spots to his own people. If I had known, damn it, I would have joined Longxiang Pavilion back then too! If I had gritted my teeth and joined back then, the person standing on the arena being envied by the whole School might have been me!"

"Stop talking, you guys." A student in the top forty of the Heaven Rankings shook his head with a bitter smile, his tone full of self-mockery.

"I'm even more aggrieved. I passed by the Longxiang Pavilion headquarters on the day it was founded. I saw them recruiting and thought to myself, 'What can this group of freshmen accomplish by occupying the Grade A Lingqi Valley?' I even sneered at the entrance and turned around to leave. Now look at them—the Grade A Lingqi Valley, not only did they occupy it, they stood firm there. The Pavilion Master crushed the sixth place on the Heaven Rankings, and all three core members secured spots for the Molten Cavern. What am I? I don't even have the qualifications to laugh at them."

The sounds of regret on the stands rose and fell, one after another.

Those prodigies who had struggled for days in the arena competition but ultimately didn't secure a single spot, now watched the three from Longxiang Pavilion standing steadily on their respective arenas, the sourness in their hearts almost overflowing from their throats.

They had risked their lives just to barely touch the edge of a spot, only for others to not have to do anything, with their Pavilion Master returning to deliver the spots into their hands. This kind of treatment was something they hadn't even dared to imagine before, let alone see.

On the high platform.

The Deans also saw this scene in its entirety.

Zhan Qiong rested his hands on the railing. A bitter smile, not knowing what to say, appeared on his rugged face.

"That's the third one. This Little Fellow hasn't defended a single arena from beginning to end; he's just been busy giving spots to others. What is this? This Molten Cavern spot competition has been held for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such an operation."

"This backdoor is being opened too blatantly." Vice Dean Yan Lie shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Although the rules don't explicitly forbid giving up an arena to others, the arena competition has always been about the capable occupying it; whoever wins it gets it. How can it be like this, where he fights for one and gives it away? Isn't this treating the arena competition as his own Longxiang Pavilion's distribution meeting?"

"Within the rules, no need to say more." Vice Dean Ming Jing sat upright in the main seat, that faint arc still hanging on the corner of his mouth, his tone unhurried.

"Besides, look at them now... he's done this, but does anyone dare to object?"

The Deans scanned the stands in the Colosseum simultaneously.

On the stands, the students' faces held no anger, no protest, only envy, regret, sourness, and a tacit silence.

Are you kidding? Object to the Sacred Student?

Just look at the outcome of Sect Master Feng Tianyang to know what happens to those who go up to object.

Even the sixth place on the Heaven Rankings was crushed head-on.

Are they tired of their spirit beasts living too long by going up to object?

Now, perhaps only Qian Nuoyun, second on the Heaven Rankings, could suppress him.

"No one dares to object." Tie Kuang spoke in a muffled voice, his tone as straightforward as ever.

"This kid used his strength to beat all the voices of dissent into silence. This in itself is the rule... the strong are respected, and having the biggest fist is the truth. Since no one dares to object, there's nothing more to say about this."

"Fine, fine." Dean of Array Department Xuan Jizi stroked his beard and sighed helplessly.

"Although this Little Fellow's actions are unconventional, they are indeed within the scope allowed by the rules. He used his own strength to seize the arena and voluntarily yielded it to his companions; everything is within the rules. If we Old Fellows were to interfere, it would make the Academy seem unreasonable. Besides... these Longxiang Pavilion members were indeed targeted first; him seeking justice for his own people is, in the end, speaking with strength. Let him be."

Hearing this, the Deans looked at each other and finally could only nod helplessly. It was considered a tacit approval.

Zhan Qiong lowered his voice and said to Vice Dean Yan Lie beside him.

"See that? This Sacred Student is already walking sideways in the Academy. The sixth place on the Heaven Rankings was crushed by him, the Jingfeng Sect was crippled by him, the Deans can't do anything about him, and the students dare not provoke him. How long has he been in the Academy? In another half a year, who else in this Academy will be able to suppress him?"

Vice Dean Yan Lie didn't answer, just looked at the slender, upright figure on the arena, a flash of thoughtful complexity in his eyes.

On the arena.

When Xiao Chen heard Jiang Yun's voice, he was clearly stunned for a moment.

He had anticipated this possibility.

After seeing Liu Qingshuang take Lin Xinmu's arena and Lei Qing take Lin Feng's arena, he had a faint expectation in his heart. But he also felt it was unlikely.

After all, the Pavilion Master had already given Liu Qingshuang a spot and Lei Qing a spot; these two spots were already a huge harvest for Longxiang Pavilion.

The Pavilion Master didn't have a spot for himself yet; logically, Sect Master Feng Tianyang's arena should have been kept by the Pavilion Master himself.

But the Pavilion Master didn't keep it; he gave away Sect Master Feng Tianyang's arena too.

He gave it to him, Xiao Chen.

On his face, which was always steady, a flash of irrepressible emotion finally appeared.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart again and again, then took a step, walked down from his own battle platform, and walked step by step toward the arena where Jiang Yun was.

On that arena, the golden blood pool of the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc still remained, and the bloodstains on the stone slabs hadn't completely dried yet.

That was the trace left after Sect Master Feng Tianyang's Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc was crushed head-on.

And now, the Pavilion Master handed this blood-stained arena to him.

Xiao Chen stepped onto the stairs of the arena, walked to Jiang Yun, and stood still.

Jiang Yun looked at him, nodded slightly, and then reached out to pat his shoulder.

The movement was casual and natural, like patting a brother who had fought side-by-side for many years.

"Xiao Chen, you three were targeted in turns on the arena before, and you gritted your teeth and held on without retreating. I have noted this backbone of yours. Since you are all now executive Elders of my Longxiang Pavilion, as the Pavilion Master, I naturally won't treat you unfairly."

His voice wasn't loud.

But every word landed firmly in Xiao Chen's heart.

"You can accept this spot with peace of mind."

Xiao Chen looked up, meeting Jiang Yun's gaze.

In his eyes, which were always steady, a Rare wave of emotion flashed at this moment.

He wasn't the type to wear his emotions on his face, but at this moment, his throat rolled slightly.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Four words, very short, but every word felt like it was dug out from the deepest part of his heart.

Jiang Yun smiled, and in that smile, there was no condescending charity, only a matter-of-fact calmness.

"No need to be polite. Once you enter Longxiang Pavilion, we are Family from now on. You can just wait here for the arena competition to end."

Xiao Chen nodded.

Then he paused suddenly.

As if thinking of something, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Pavilion Master, what about... what about your spot?"

He didn't finish his sentence, but his gaze toward Jiang Yun had already asked the second half of the sentence.

You gave Lin Xinmu's arena to Liu Qingshuang, Lin Feng's arena to Lei Qing, and Sect Master Feng Tianyang's arena to me.

All three arenas were given away, and you don't have an arena yourself yet.

What about your own spot?

Jiang Yun understood the meaning of his words.

He didn't answer directly, but turned to look in the direction behind him.

His gaze crossed the edge of the arena.

On those few arenas behind him.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

"The people who need to be settled haven't been fully settled yet. Aren't there still some that haven't been cleaned up?"

Xiao Chen followed Jiang Yun's gaze.

On those battle platforms, Feng Yu was still standing on the edge of an arena, his face so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

And Feng Ziyue was huddled in the corner, his whole body trembling like chaff, unable to even stand up.

Xiao Chen understood.

The Pavilion Master said from the beginning that he wouldn't let anyone off; he didn't just mean Sect Master Feng Tianyang.

It was the entire Jingfeng Sect.

From the Sect Leader to the core members, none of them were going to escape.

The Pavilion Master never intended to keep Lin Xinmu's arena for himself from the beginning, nor did he intend to keep Lin Feng's arena, and he certainly didn't intend to keep Sect Master Feng Tianyang's arena.

The Pavilion Master's own spot was to be seized from Feng Yu and Feng Ziyue.

Jiang Yun withdrew his hand and turned around.

His figure swept up from the arena like a startled swan, landing lightly on the battle platform where Feng Yu and Feng Ziyue were.

His feet made no sound when they landed, but the moment he landed, the entire Colosseum's gaze focused on him simultaneously.

"He's here! The Sacred Student really didn't let the Jingfeng Sect's last two people go! He went to find Feng Yu and Feng Ziyue! He said he wouldn't let anyone go, and he really isn't letting anyone go!"

Someone on the stands stood up in excitement.

"Feng Yu is the second-in-command of the Jingfeng Sect, twelfth on the Heaven Rankings! Feng Ziyue is the third-in-command of the Jingfeng Sect, eighty-first on the Heaven Rankings! Just now the Sect Leader was crushed, the core members were named one by one, and now even the last two aren't being let off! The Sacred Student is going to clear all the main force of the entire Jingfeng Sect out of the arena!"

"More than just clearing them out of the arena? He is going to make the Jingfeng Sect not get a single spot! The Jingfeng Sect has been established in the Sky Dome Academy for so many years; which Secret Realm competition hasn't they steadily taken several spots from? This year, it's good—the Sect Leader was crushed, the core members were all chased down, and they won't even get a single spot! From now on, how will the Jingfeng Sect be able to hold its head up in the Academy?!"

On the battle platform.

Feng Yu stared fixedly at the figure that had landed on the arena.

His fists were clenched tight, his knuckles cracking, and the veins on the back of his hands bulging one by one.

Although he managed to maintain a thin veneer of composure on his face, deep within his eyes surged anger, shock, humiliation, and a sliver of fear he was unwilling to admit even to himself.

Watching Jiang Yun's calm, water-like face, the fire in his heart burned brighter and brighter.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

As the second-in-command of the Jingfeng Sect, ranked twelfth on the Heaven Rankings, and a direct descendant Prodigy of the Feng Family, he had always walked through Sky Dome Academy with impunity.

It had always been him bullying others; no one had ever dared to bully him.

But now, this freshman, who had been in the academy for less than a month, had crushed Sect Master Feng Tianyang right in front of him, forced back Lin Feng right in front of him, and scared Feng Ziyue until he collapsed on the ground, trembling like a sieve, right in front of him.

Now, he stood before him again, looking at him with a gaze so calm it was almost indifferent, as if he were looking at an insignificant passerby.

Feng Ziyue had completely broken down.

Seeing Jiang Yun land on the arena, he sprang up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, stumbling backward to hide behind Feng Yu, his voice sharp and trembling.

"You... what are you doing?! The Sect Leader has already been defeated by you! What more do you want?! Don't come over here! Go away!"

Jiang Yun didn't even glance at him.

His gaze calmly swept over Feng Ziyue's pale, twisted face, then shifted directly to land on Feng Yu.

"Do you want to fight me, or will you leave on your own?"

The voice was not loud, but it pierced Feng Yu's heart with the precision of a cold blade.

Feng Yu's pupils contracted sharply.

He could tell that Jiang Yun was neither provoking nor threatening him.

This was giving him a choice.

Exactly the same choice given to Lin Feng just moments ago.

Either fight or leave.

If he fought, his strength was inferior to Sect Master Feng Tianyang's. Since even Sect Master Feng Tianyang had been crushed, his Golden-Winged Lion King stood absolutely no chance of winning.

If he left, he, Feng Yu, second-in-command of the Jingfeng Sect and twelfth on the Heaven Rankings, would be scared into scurrying off the arena by a single sentence from Jiang Yun in front of the entire School, and would never be able to hold his head high in the academy again.

Both paths were dead ends.

And he had to choose one in front of the entire School.

Feng Yu took a deep breath, trying hard to make his voice sound like that of someone ranked twelfth on the Heaven Rankings.

"Sacred Student, do not go too far. Do you know that we are from the Feng Family... a top-tier Family in the provincial capital, the Feng Family. That is an existence you absolutely cannot afford to offend. Even Sky Dome Academy must show the Feng Family a modicum of respect. You have already defeated Sect Master Feng Tianyang today and pushed the Jingfeng Sect to this point; if you continue to drive us into a corner, my Feng Family will never let this go. You had better think clearly."

His tone was relatively steady when he said this, every word carrying the confidence of a scion from a great Family.

Yet his eyes were locked onto Jiang Yun's face, attempting to find even a trace of hesitation, wariness, or fear on that calm, water-like expression.

He was disappointed.

Jiang Yun's expression didn't change at all; he was as calm as if he were listening to a slightly noisy breeze.

Then Jiang Yun smiled.

The smile was faint, the corners of his mouth curling up only slightly, but there was no warmth in it.

"It doesn't matter."

Just three words.

Two light, airy words.

Like a heavy hammer smashing into Feng Yu's heart.

"No matter what your Feng Family is like, as long as I am here today, you people of the Jingfeng Sect... won't get a single spot."

Feng Yu's expression changed completely in that instant.

The thin veneer of composure on his face was finally torn to shreds, replaced by an irrepressible anger and humiliation.

His fists trembled violently at his sides, his fingernails digging into the flesh of his palms, leaving trails of blood.

As a direct descendant Prodigy of the Feng Family, second-in-command of the Jingfeng Sect, and eleventh on the Heaven Rankings, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

To be treated this way in front of the entire School, having the deterrent power of the entire Feng Family crushed to dust by a single "It doesn't matter."

He wanted to explode, to curse, to summon the Golden-Winged Lion King and fight Jiang Yun to the death.

But the image of Sect Master Feng Tianyang being crushed just moments ago flashed through his mind.

Heaven-Severing shattered head-on, the Golden Wind Absolute Domain crushed in reverse, the four-fold skill stack broken from start to finish by a single combo, the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc lying in a pool of blood, unable to even stand.

Could his Golden-Winged Lion King compare to the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc?

It couldn't.

If he fought, defeat was certain.

And he would be defeated even more miserably than Sect Master Feng Tianyang.

His lips quivered violently several times, and finally, he squeezed a hoarse, humiliated sentence through his teeth.

"Sacred Student, I hope you know what you are doing."

After saying this, he turned abruptly and strode toward the steps of the arena.

His footsteps were heavy and stiff, each step feeling like he was treading on his own shattered dignity.

His fists remained tightly clenched at his sides, his shoulders trembling slightly—a tremor that only appeared when extreme humiliation and anger accumulated to a critical point.

Seeing Feng Yu leaving, Feng Ziyue followed him, scrambling and crawling as if clutching a life-saving straw.

He used his hands and feet to crawl several steps on the arena before barely managing to stand up, stumbling after Feng Yu, his expression like someone fleeing a volcano about to erupt at any moment.

He dared not look back, dared not stop, and dared not cast another glance at Jiang Yun.

Off the stage.

Thousands of gazes simultaneously watched those two wretched, humiliated figures walk down the arena step by step.

Feng Yu, twelfth on the Heaven Rankings; Feng Ziyue, eighty-first on the Heaven Rankings; the second and third-in-command of the Jingfeng Sect—without even fighting, they were driven off the arena by a single sentence from Jiang Yun.

"Even Feng Yu left... he left without even fighting! Feng Yu is twelfth on the Heaven Rankings! The second-in-command of the Jingfeng Sect! He actually didn't even have the courage to fight! Just a moment ago, he was using the Feng Family to pressure the Sacred Student, but the Sacred Student dismissed him with a single 'It doesn't matter'!"

Someone in the stands shouted out involuntarily.

Their voice was filled with incredulous shock.

"It's not that he lacks courage! He's just too smart! Didn't you see the outcome for Sect Master Feng Tianyang just now? The Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc was crushed head-on, Heaven-Severing was shattered, the Golden Wind Absolute Domain was ripped open, and the entire Beast was severely injured! Feng Yu's Golden-Winged Lion King isn't even as good as the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc; if he dared to fight, the outcome would only be more miserable! Rather than going up there to seek death, it's better to just leave. At least the Beast is still intact, and at least he can save some face!"

"Save what face? Being driven off the arena by a single sentence is called saving face? From now on, the Jingfeng Sect will be a joke in Sky Dome Academy! The Sect Leader was crushed, the second and third-in-command were driven away by a single sentence, and the entire School from top to bottom didn't get a single spot! This is the consequence of provoking the Longxiang Pavilion!"

"The Jingfeng Sect is finished. Completely finished. It's not that their strength is finished; it's their reputation. Even if Sect Master Feng Tianyang recovers from his injuries and makes a comeback, he will always be a head shorter than the Sacred Student in the academy. After all, he is a defeated general who was crushed by the Sacred Student in public."

The discussions in the stands rose like a tide, each voice lashing out like a whip against the hearts of everyone from the Jingfeng Sect.

Feng Yu's pace grew faster and faster, so fast that Feng Ziyue could barely keep up.

He dared not slow down, because slowing down meant having to endure the scorching of those gazes for one more second.

Just as Feng Yu and Feng Ziyue were about to disappear at the edge of the arena.

Jiang Yun suddenly spoke again.

His voice was not loud.

Yet it exploded above the entire Colosseum like a thunderclap.

"On all the arenas present... any Jingfeng Sect Disciple, leave the arena voluntarily. Otherwise, this Sacred Student will personally take the stage."

The moment his words fell, the entire Colosseum once again fell into a deathly silence.

Thousands of gazes swept in unison toward the remaining battle platforms on the arena.

Were there still people from the Jingfeng Sect on them?

The silence lasted less than three breaths.

Then, on one of the arenas, a tall, thin youth gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and silently walked off the arena.

His expression was desolate to the extreme, every step taken extremely slowly, as if saying goodbye to something he had fought with his life to protect. On another arena, another youth, after hesitating for a few breaths, turned and left the arena with reddened eyes.

His fists were tightly clenched at his sides, his shoulders trembling slightly, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly raised his hand and wiped his eyes forcefully.

The crowd recognized the identities of those two.

Exclamations of surprise immediately erupted.

"That's Ji Yunfei, ranked twelfth on the Heaven Rankings! And Chu He, ranked thirteenth! They are both from the Jingfeng Sect! They fought bitterly for several rounds to hold their arenas, and now, because they are implicated by the Jingfeng Sect, they've lost their spots directly! My God! With one sentence from the Sacred Student, two experts in the top fifteen of the Heaven Rankings have directly abandoned their arenas!"

"Ji Yunfei and Chu He! They were supposed to have secured their spots this year! Ji Yunfei's Beast strength is among the very top in the top fifteen of the Heaven Rankings, and Chu He's defensive-type Beast has even more of an advantage in arena matches! If they had stayed on the arena, no one would have dared to challenge them! But what happened? Just because they are people from the Jingfeng Sect, they can't even keep their spots now!"

"A pity! What a pity! But there's no way around it... the Sacred Student has spoken, and they dare not gamble. The outcome for Sect Master Feng Tianyang is right there; if they dare to stay on the arena, and the Sacred Student really takes the stage personally, it won't just be a matter of losing a spot—it will be a matter of whether their Beasts can even be saved. Rather than having their Beasts crippled and then losing the spot, it's better to leave now. At least the Beast is still there, and at least they can make a comeback."

The Prodigies on the other arenas watched the two desolate backs of Ji Yunfei and Chu He, a sense of relief at having escaped disaster surging in their hearts.

Fortunately, fortunately the Jingfeng Sect's threshold for recruiting people was high.

Fortunately, they hadn't been recruited into the Jingfeng Sect back then.

Otherwise, given their status, they would also be implicated today and driven off the arena by a single sentence from the Sacred Student.

Those Prodigies sitting securely on their arenas were all secretly breathing a sigh of relief in their hearts, while simultaneously looking with incomparably complex gazes at that tall, straight figure on the arena.

Jiang Yun stood with his hands behind his back on the empty battle platform.

His gaze swept calmly across the entire Colosseum.

Sweeping over those Prodigies who were still trembling on the arenas.

Sweeping over those students who were dumbfounded off the stage.

Then he spoke again.

The voice was still not loud, but it carried an unquestionable domineering air.

"As long as I am here today... the Jingfeng Sect won't get a single spot."

The whole scene was dead silent for a moment.

Then, it exploded.

"Domineering!! Too domineering!! One person suppressing an entire sect!! The Sacred Student single-handedly crushed the entire Jingfeng Sect off the arena!! From the Sect Leader to core members to ordinary Disciples, not a single one is left!! The entire Jingfeng Sect, twenty arenas, not a single spot!! They were all cleared out by the Sacred Student!!"

A student in the stands grabbed his own hair with both hands.

His entire face flushed red with excitement.

"This is the weight of a Heavenly Saint Student! When the Head Dean broke the rules to confer the title of Heavenly Saint Student upon him on his first day of enrollment, how many people were unconvinced? Who dares to be unconvinced now?! SSS-Rank Talent! Going from a freshman to crushing the sixth on the Heaven Rankings in just over a month! And now, suppressing an entire sect and driving the whole Jingfeng Sect off the arena! How many such figures have appeared in the entire history of Sky Dome Academy?!"

"Truly badass! You have to give it to him! Anyone who wasn't convinced has been beaten into submission by him! Lin Xinmu wasn't convinced... he was insta-killed! Lin Feng knelt! Sect Master Feng Tianyang was also crushed! The entire Jingfeng Sect wasn't convinced... they were all kicked off the stage! I just want to know now, who else dares to not be convinced?!"

On the high platform.

The Deans watched the figure on the arena stage, looking at each other with expressions that were surprisingly identical.

It was all helplessness.

The kind of helplessness that comes from having absolutely no way to deal with this student.

"One person suppressing an entire sect."

Zhan Qiong slowly repeated these four words, his rugged face filled with complex emotions.

"The entire Jingfeng Sect has been operating in Sky Dome Academy for so many years. From the Sect Leader down to the ordinary Disciples, dozens of people, they have always walked sideways in the arena competitions. It's different this year; they've been completely wiped out by a newly enrolled Sacred Student all by himself. Not a single spot was left."

"This Little Fellow's way of doing things is truly..."

Vice Dean Yan Lie shook his head.

It took him a long time to find a suitable word.

"Ruthless. But to be honest, you can't blame him for this. The people from the Jingfeng Sect blocked the door of Longxiang Pavilion before the arena competition started, and then took turns targeting members of Longxiang Pavilion during the competition. Now that he is paying them back in their own coin, no one can find fault with it."

"The key is the measure of his actions."

Dean of Array Department Xuan Jizi stroked his beard and spoke thoughtfully.

"Although he is domineering, every step he takes is within the rules. He didn't go looking for trouble with the Jingfeng Sect without reason; he was just settling accounts with those who had targeted Longxiang Pavilion. Although Ji Yunfei and Chu He are also from the Jingfeng Sect, he gave them a chance... He said they should leave voluntarily, not that he would go up and fight them directly. They could choose to leave, or they could choose to stay and fight him head-on. The choice was in their own hands. Although he is effectively forcing the entire Jingfeng Sect to withdraw from the arena, no one can find major faults in his methods. This kid is not only strong in strength, but his scheming is also very deep."

"Alright, alright."

Vice Dean Ming Jing waved his hand, the faint curve at the corner of his mouth still present.

"Let the young people resolve their own affairs. Since there are no issues within the rules, we Old Fellows don't need to worry too much. However, I am curious... how will he handle those vacant arena stages next?"

The Deans simultaneously turned their gazes toward the figure on the arena stage.

On the stage.

Jiang Yun looked at the three vacant arena stages in front of him.

Feng Ziyue's, Feng Yu's, and the one vacated by Ji Yunfei and his companion.

Adding his own arena stage that had been empty from the beginning, there were now a total of four vacant positions.

He thought for a moment, and his gaze swept toward Zhao Tiezhu, Shang Xiaoxiao, and the others in the Longxiang Pavilion camp below the stage.

The Molten Fire Grotto Secret Realm is located deep in the Bone Burial Area, and it is full of dangers.

With the Silver Rank strength of Zhao Tiezhu and the others, let alone searching for Opportunity, it would be considered lucky if they could survive.

Moreover, if he specifically assigned people to look after them, it would drag down the exploration efficiency of the entire team.

Instead of letting them go in and take risks, it would be better for them to stay in the academy and Cultivate properly.

When he leaves, he can leave more resources for Longxiang Pavilion.

Letting them improve their strength with peace of mind is the Righteous Path.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun did not hesitate anymore.

He looked up at the entire audience, and his voice rang out loudly again.

"There is still half an hour left. Everyone can compete for the currently vacant arena stages. As long as you are not from the Jingfeng Sect, I will definitely not interfere."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The entire audience, who had just been lamenting for Ji Yunfei and Chu He, and sighing for the Jingfeng Sect.

Were stunned for a moment.

Then.

The entire Colosseum was like a whole barrel of gunpowder that had been ignited.

It exploded into an uproar.

"What?! The Sacred Student is letting us compete for the vacant arena stages?! He's not taking them for himself?! He's not keeping them for himself?! Feng Yu's stage! Feng Ziyue's stage! Ji Yunfei's stage! And the Sacred Student's own stage from the beginning—a total of four stages, he's giving them all to us?!"

A student in the top forty of the Heavenly Ranking suddenly sprang up from his seat.

The expression on his face went from shock to ecstasy in an instant.

"An Opportunity! This is an Opportunity!! All the remaining arena stages were tough nuts to crack! Either they were ruthless people from the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking, or they were connections protected by the Sacred Student! There wasn't a single soft persimmon! Now that the Sacred Student has driven away all the people from the Jingfeng Sect, vacated four arena stages, and publicly stated that he won't interfere! Isn't this an Opportunity left for us?!"

"Long live the Sacred Student!! The Sacred Student is badass!! The Sacred Student is invincible!!"

Someone on the stands shouted first.

Then this wave of sound spread crazily like a virus.

In the blink of an eye, it swept through the entire Colosseum.

"How is this competing for an arena stage?! This is the people from the Jingfeng Sect being driven away by the Sacred Student, the arena stages becoming vacant, and the Sacred Student grabbing the Jingfeng Sect's meal and feeding it to us! Snatching meat from the Jingfeng Sect's mouth and then distributing it to us! This is too righteous!"

"What did I say?! I said the Sacred Student is endlessly good to his own people! He's not just good to the people of Longxiang Pavilion! He is good to all ordinary students in the entire academy who rely on their own strength! As long as you are not from the Jingfeng Sect, and as long as you are not the type of child from a big power who bullies others by relying on their status, he is willing to give you a chance!"

"After the quota competition ends, I am going to join Longxiang Pavilion!! Don't anyone stop me!!"

Someone in the crowd below suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.

These words were like a fuse.

They instantly ignited the entire stand.

"I want to join too!! Count me in!!"

"The quota or whatever doesn't matter! The important thing is that I want to follow the Sacred Student! You can't find a second Pavilion Master like this in the entire Sky Dome Academy!!"

"Join now!! No waiting!! Go register now!!"

The crowd on the stands poured out from their seats like a flood breaking a dam.

There were at least hundreds of people, including ordinary students of Gold Rank, Prodigies of Amethyst Rank from the Heavenly Ranking, and even several ruthless people from the top fifty of the Heavenly Ranking.

They swarmed toward the direction of the Longxiang Pavilion camp, surrounding Zhao Tiezhu, Shang Xiaoxiao, and the others in the middle.

Zhao Tiezhu had just been cheering and waving his arms for the Pavilion Master's feat of suppressing an entire sect, when in the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by a dense crowd.

A trace of panic appeared on his rugged face for the first time.

His two thick arms waved wildly in the crowd.

"Wait a second, wait a second!! Senior brothers and sisters!! Everyone, calm down!! One by one!! Hey!! Who stepped on my foot!! Don't push, don't push!! Our Longxiang Pavilion's station is in the Grade A Lingqi Valley. If you want to join, just come to the station to register after the assembly ends!!!"

Before he could finish his words.

He was grabbed by the arm by an Amethyst Rank Prodigy in the top sixty of the Heavenly Ranking.

"Elder Zhao!! Let me join!! I am Amethyst Rank First Order!! Heavenly Ranking fifty-eight!! My beast is a wind attribute flying beast, and I am a good hand at reconnaissance and harassment!! Your Longxiang Pavilion is short of people right now, right? If I join, I will definitely work hard!! I will never betray the Pavilion Master!!"

"Don't call me Elder!!"

Zhao Tiezhu was completely numb.

He was just a Silver Rank, and usually, he wouldn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of Heavenly Ranking Prodigies.

Now, it was the opposite; a group of Amethyst Rank big shots surrounded him, calling him Elder Zhao one after another, calling him so respectfully and enthusiastically that they were almost kowtowing to him.

"I, I, I, I am too!! Elder Zhao!! I am Heavenly Ranking sixty-three!! Amethyst Rank First Order!! My beast is an earth attribute defensive type!! Longxiang Pavilion needs defensive beasts right now, right? I can hold the front line!! Let me join!!"

"And me!! Elder Zhao!!"

"Stop shouting, stop shouting!!"

Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Tiezhu's forehead.

"I said it already!! If you want to join, go to Grade A Lingqi Valley to register!! The arena competition is still ongoing!! Don't surround me!! I can't breathe!!"

Shang Xiaoxiao stood behind Zhao Tiezhu, watching this scene, and was completely stunned.

She opened her small mouth, her big round eyes widened like two copper bells, and her face was full of unbelievable shock.

Just a few days ago, their Longxiang Pavilion was still an emerging power that was being bullied by people blocking their door, and Feng Ziyue was clamoring at the door, wanting to make it so the Sacred Student couldn't survive in the academy.

Now, a few days later, a group of Amethyst Rank Prodigies were scrambling to surround Zhao Tiezhu and call him Elder, just to be able to join Longxiang Pavilion.

What kind of earth-shattering reversal is this?

Those high-and-mighty Heavenly Ranking Prodigies, at this moment, surrounding Zhao Tiezhu, didn't have a single bit of the airs of the Heavenly Ranking.

Each one of them was smiling, calling him Elder Zhao one after another so attentively.

So what if he's Silver Rank?

A Silver Rank is also an original member of Longxiang Pavilion!!

Do you know how much the words "original member" are worth?

Who is the Sacred Student?

A ruthless person who can crush the sixth in the Heavenly Ranking head-on, suppress an entire sect by himself, and whom even the Deans of the entire academy have no way to deal with!!

Following such a Pavilion Master, even if you are just an outer member, you can walk sideways in the academy in the future!!

After the Jingfeng Sect was driven out of the arena, the remaining Prodigies who had nothing to do with the Jingfeng Sect flew down from their respective arena stages one after another, scrambling to rush toward the few vacant arena stages.

With four vacant spots and dozens of experts competing for them, the scene instantly turned from the previous dead silence into a chaotic battle.

Spiritual energy of various attributes collided crazily on the arena stage, and the aftermath of various skills exploded in mid-air.

But no one was worried about being targeted by Jiang Yun.

Because the Sacred Student said that as long as it was not someone from the Jingfeng Sect, he would not interfere.

The Sacred Student's word is absolute; if he said he wouldn't interfere, he really wouldn't.

They could rest assured, fairly, and use their own strength to compete for these hard-won spots.

And those Prodigies who had already stood firm on the arena stages also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, watching the figure on the arena stage with complex gazes.

They were glad that they were not from the Jingfeng Sect, glad that they had not been targeted by the Sacred Student, and glad that they had not become the object of that liquidation.

Just when the entire Colosseum was in a mess because of Jiang Yun.

A young man's voice suddenly sounded from a certain direction.

The voice was not loud, but it steadily penetrated all the noise and chaos, clearly reaching the eardrums of everyone present.

"Everyone!! This arena stage of mine!! Can also be vacated!!!"
