264: Shocking, mythical existence

Silence.

Long silence.

Heaven and earth were still.

Not a sound could be heard.

It lasted for a full dozen seconds.

It wasn't until Jiang Yuan spoke that the calm was broken.

"Who's going first?"

Jiang Yuan's tone was a little impatient, his gaze sweeping towards Stone Crusher on a sword rock:

"You're called Hegemony, right? Didn't you want to fight me? Come over, I'm giving you the chance to challenge me now."

Stone Crusher only came back to his senses at this point, still unable to comprehend the situation, his face full of confusion and bewilderment:

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't you hear that today's competition format is challenge-based? The Professor hasn't even arrived yet, what the hell are you doing?"

"Idiot."

Jiang Yan cursed softly.

"Even if your intelligence is low, you should have understood after hearing the Principal's words."

The Magician, noble and handsome, regarded by many female students as a Prince Charming, looked at the black-clothed youth on the ice lake with a complex expression,

"I didn't expect that he would actually be the new Professor of the Sword Skills Department..."

This sentence was like a giant rock smashing into the hearts of countless confused people present.

While solving their confusion, it also brought them immense shock.

"!!!"

Ye Jiuling's mouth fell open.

Xiao Zhiyu was silent.

Long Ci was stunned.

Gao Tian was surprised and puzzled.

Chang Baimo frowned, speechless.

Lin Qingyan was also startled by this sudden turn of events.

He's a Professor in the Sword Skills Department?! You must be kidding! This is something that never happened in her previous life.

The slender figure who walked out of the lightning plasma suddenly smiled, "This is truly astonishing, it even startled me."

Stone Crusher was so shocked his eyes widened, pointing at Jiang Yuan in disbelief, "You, you, you, you aren't a new student?!"

Jiang Yuan said calmly, "When did I ever say I was a new student?"

"Impossible!" Ye Jiuling snapped back to attention and questioned, "You're only Seventh-rank, two years younger than me, how could you possibly hold a Professor position!"

"By what right?!"

Many students and Heaven's Chosen secretly nodded.

Yes.

By what right?

You should know that becoming a Professor at Shenwu Academy isn't something you can just do if you want to.

Strength, prestige, achievements, none can be lacking.

Otherwise, by what right would they teach this group of Great Xia's top-tier talented geniuses? By what right would they make them respect and revere them?

"By what right..."

Jiang Yuan's fingers stroked the top of the Demon Blade at his waist, he smiled and raised his eyes:

"Good question."

He looked at Nan Yue in the air and smiled, "Principal, I also want to know, by what right can I become this Sword Skills Department Professor?"

Nan Yue, standing high in the air, spoke calmly, "In terms of strength, Professor Jiang's Dao power value far exceeds that of a Ninth-Order Grand Master, his sword skills have reached the peak of perfection, meeting the requirements for a Professor."

"In terms of achievements, he is the strongest Martial Artist in history from Second-rank to Seventh-rank, the youngest purple dragon badge holder in the world. The appointment for selecting National War members was directly issued to him by the Royal City and the Ten Ministers Association. Besides being a selector, he is also the leader of this National War team."

"In terms of prestige, he saved millions of people, becoming a legend in the hearts of countless people at an age under eighteen, breaking numerous records."

"The Professor badge worn by Professor Jiang was personally bestowed by Elder Feng and recognized by 59 Professors and senior mentors of Shenwu Academy, without any objection."

"Rumble!"

Professor Song Yun's calm words were like bolts of lightning, striking one after another into everyone's minds.

They stirred up monstrous waves in their hearts.

Causing everyone's temples to throb, their scalps to tingle, completely losing the ability to think.

"I, did I hear that right?"

A Magician girl beside Lu Qian said blankly, her brain completely frozen, losing the ability to think.

She was also an S-rank talent Heaven's Chosen, ranked first in the college entrance examination in her City, becoming a Fourth-rank Martial Artist at a young age. Her future was promising, with the potential to become a Magician Prefecture Lord. Even after coming to the talent-rich Shenwu Academy, she was still full of confidence in herself.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt as if she had turned into a mayfly, suddenly seeing the vast and boundless sky.

Dao power value far exceeding a Ninth-Order Grand Master...

Sword skills reaching the peak of perfection...

The strongest Martial Artist in history from Second-rank to Seventh-rank...

purple dragon badge...

Leader of the National War team...

Every term, every title was so unfamiliar, so noble, so astonishing.

Even obtaining just one of these in a lifetime would likely bring glory to one's family lineage, shine brightly in an area, and become a regional overlord.

And all these adjectives were gathered on one person.

And he was a young man of the same age as them, or even a few years younger!

Is this even human?!

It's simply!

It's simply like a myth or legend!!

"Hmm... it's pretty much as Principal Nan Yue said."

Jiang Yuan looked at the dazed Ye Jiuling and smiled, "But I think it can be put more simply."

"Why can I be a Professor?"

"Simply because I... am very strong."

The moment he finished speaking.

The young man's eyes burst forth with an incomparably brilliant, fiery golden light, instantly piercing through the void and shaking the atmosphere.

"Boom!"

Golden energy waves spread out from him, covering the entire sky.

A supreme, vast, and ancient Martial Dao Will descended as if it were the will of heaven.

The remaining Sword Intent in the entire Kongling Sword Domain was intimidated, changing from intangible to tangible, frozen in the void, daring not to move.

Every speck of dust between heaven and earth prostrated itself, and all things trembled.

Whether it was the academy's number one Heaven's Chosen, Sikong, or the reborn Empress, Lin Qingyan, or the hidden dark horse, Chang Baimo, whose shattered bones had revived within him, at this moment, they were all suppressed by that terrifying and seemingly invincible pressure, unable to move!

"How... could this be..."

Lin Qingyan's cold and stunning face was filled with disbelief.

How could he be so strong?!

"Creak, creak."

Even with her hands propped on Huangquan, Ye Jiuling's shoulders still bent downwards inch by inch.

The Huangquan in her hand let out a trembling whine.

She attempted to resist this pressure, but it nearly caused her Sword Dao Will to break.

The Sword Dao girl found it hard to imagine.

How could there be such a strong Martial Dao Will in the world?!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

The Hegemony, Stone Crusher, roared, trying to resist this Willpower Pressure, but no matter how he pushed his physique to 120%, unleashing the Prototype (rudimentary form) of his own Martial Dao Will, it was still... not enough.

He was pressed down, his legs sinking deep into the rock.

"Boom!"

The sword rock beneath his feet completely shattered in the confrontation, and the broken stones and dust completely submerged him.

Truly, with just one look, he suppressed the entire scene!

Professor Song Yun let out a deep sigh of emotion, "Truly terrifying, this is the first time I've felt such a strong Martial Dao Will."

Chen Zhen, whose actual combat strength was among the top at Shenwu Academy, said with a complex expression, "Me too."

Professor Song Yun: "Between you and him, who do you think is stronger?"

Chen Zhen did not speak.

At this moment.

Thousands of students on the grassland stared blankly, utterly shocked, at the black-clothed young man on the ice field whose eyes were erupting with terrifying golden light, his expression as calm as water, as if looking at an unapproachable human deity.
