267: The golden-winged eagle and the red [Phoenix Heart Blood]!

“Although there don't seem to be many people, it feels like a lot of people.”

“Hmm, a lot of people?”

Li Chengyi instantly became vigilant upon hearing this.

Although this guy next to him wasn't as strong as him, his luck, or rather, his intuition, was terrifyingly accurate.

He often managed to avoid most troubles and dangers just by relying on his intuition.

Ye Jinhuan nodded slightly, looking at the lake not far away and its surroundings: “The area around this lake gives me a very dangerous feeling. It's better not to go there for now.”

“Oh?”

This time, not only Li Chengyi, but even the other two in the team turned their heads in surprise to look at Ye Jinhuan.

Dangerous?

Are you serious?

A team composed of Students ranked first, seventh, ninth, and eighteenth in Zhongyuan Academy's fifth-year Student rankings.

And all of them are combat professions, and you're telling me the area around the lake gives us a dangerous feeling?

“Of course, you can choose whether to go out or not. I'm going to stay in the forest and observe the situation first.”

Ye Jinhuan spread her hands, a slight smile appearing on her somewhat feminine, fair face.

“Alright, we trust you more, so we'll stay here in the forest.”

Ultimately, Li Chengyi, as the team leader, made the decision.

He trusted Ye Jinhuan's intuition, and staying in the forest was undoubtedly the best option.

Time passed, and by noon, people were still arriving.

However, everyone refrained from revealing themselves. Even when two teams who had already fought before arriving here met, they had no intention of continuing the battle.

Everyone's strength was considerable. There were always one or two people in each team with keen perception or Card Spirits with the ability to perceive or discover enemies.

There were many people here, so for the sake of the final “treasure” and to avoid being taken advantage of after a battle, everyone in this area became eerily quiet.

“Is this still the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield of the Four School Joint Examination?”

Yu Chengtian looked at this scene, rubbed his bald head, and couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

“To be able to make so many Students quietly stay together, Jiang Yuan truly has some skill,” Jin Lingyu said with a laugh.

“Just happened to have two eliminated Students who also needed to go to Chen Xing Lake. Should we ask them?”

“Good.”

After Jin Lingyu finished speaking, Miao Xinghuo nodded, glanced at the three guys sitting calmly beside them, then shook his head helplessly and stood up, waving to the two Students.

“Principal Miao, are you looking for us?”

The two eliminated Students seemed to be from Bei Mang Academy. Upon seeing Miao Xinghuo wave to them, they immediately stood up and approached him.

“Why were you two going to Chen Xing Lake?”

Seeing the two Students like this, Miao Xinghuo understood.

These two Students should be his own academy's Students, but he didn't show any sign of not recognizing them. Instead, he directly asked them.

“Huh?”

The two Students froze for a moment, exchanged glances, and then looked at Miao Xinghuo with some uncertainty.

“Wasn't it the Old Principal of Zhongyuan Academy who announced the new rule?”

“What new rule?”

Miao Xinghuo was a bit puzzled, and the other three Vice Principals were also strange. They looked up at the Old Principal in another area, then turned to the two Students.

“Tell me in detail.”

Miao Xinghuo frowned slightly and asked the two Students.

“It's like this: last night, we had a dream where the Old Principal told us that this assessment would add a new segment. He would throw a treasure into that lake, and the treasure would contain powerful cards that could largely guarantee our entry into the top two hundred. Then he said we could decide for ourselves whether to go.”

One of the Students said, glancing at the other Student beside him, then continued: “Originally, I didn't believe it, but he also had the same dream, so we wondered if this was really a new segment added by the Old Principal?”

“And then you decided to go to that place, right?”

“Yes, after all, we were very curious about cards that could largely guarantee entry into the top two hundred. Even if we couldn't get them ourselves, we didn't want others to get them and use them against us,” the two Students nodded and said.

“Alright, I understand.”

Miao Xinghuo said, then motioned for the two Students to leave.

“So, is this something Jiang Yuan orchestrated?”

Guan Chutian looked at Jiang Yuan, who was still on his way on the screen, and asked curiously.

“Unclear.”

Yu Chengtian shook his head, looking at Jiang Yuan on the screen with some curiosity: “Why isn't he flying himself?”

On the screen, Jiang Yuan, who had transformed into a small bird, was currently on the back of a large bird transformed by Zhao Gongming, a black-bodied, golden-winged bird.

If any of Zhao Gongming's fellow Daoists were present at this time, they would immediately recognize what kind of large bird Zhao Gongming had transformed into.

The Great Peng Golden-Winged Eagle!

It was precisely the true form of the Chan Sect's Fairy Feathered Wing!

However, unfortunately, the Great Peng Golden-Winged Eagle transformed by Zhao Gongming did not possess such speed.

Or rather, the speed divine ability of the Great Peng Golden-Winged Eagle.

After all, the Seventy-Two Transformations - False Form only changes the external appearance and does not grant the opponent's divine abilities.

But even so, Zhao Gongming's speed was still very fast.

“Estimated to arrive in about half an hour.”

Jiang Yuan, on Zhao Gongming's back, glanced at the time and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, there were still over forty minutes until the agreed-upon 2 PM.

And at his current speed, he would eventually reach Chen Xing Lake about ten minutes before 2 PM.

After all, his goal was not just to gather those Students together.

Although those Students might fight fiercely and suffer casualties because they were gathered together.

But that was not Jiang Yuan's goal.

He wanted to enter the top two hundred!

Only by entering the top two hundred would he have a chance to obtain the final prize.

And the most stable way to enter the top two hundred was...

To eliminate most people!

And to ensure that the final two hundred Students remaining were not the strongest two hundred, he wanted to instigate a grand melee!

If this grand melee could proceed according to his plan, then this grand melee would eliminate at least one-third of the strongest two hundred Students.

This was Jiang Yuan's goal!

Only by making the Students who entered the top two hundred as weak as possible could Jiang Yuan possibly contend for the final grand prize!

No choice, who made Jiang Yuan's strength too weak.

He hadn't reached the Great Beam realm yet.

“One step at a time.”

Jiang Yuan looked at the distant sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.

“This is just the beginning!”

“He landed on that big bird as soon as he flew into the air. Didn't you see?” Miao Xinghuo responded indifferently.

“That's not it. I'm asking, why doesn't he choose to fly himself?” Yu Chengtian glanced at Miao Xinghuo, a bit disgusted.

Why couldn't this guy understand?

“Because of myasthenia.”

Jin Lingyu spoke lightly: “This child has congenital myasthenia. Even if he transforms into a small bird, flying consumes his own physical strength.”

“However, his physical strength doesn't support him flying for long, so he can only lie on someone else's back.”

“Congenital myasthenia...”

Guan Chutian fell silent for a moment, then looked at Jiang Yuan in the form of a small bird on the screen: “How much longer does he have?”

“Over a year.”

“Didn't Li Yueying find him any heavenly material and earthly treasure that could treat or alleviate myasthenia?”

Yu Chengtian was a bit anxious. Although Jiang Yuan's current strength was only Late Stage, in their eyes, Jiang Yuan was a complete genius!

And he was the kind of rare genius.

Such Students were usually protected as much as possible, yet your academy still allowed his myasthenia to persist?

How could Li Yueying be such a master!

She was a Tenth Realm powerhouse, after all, and recently, due to her increased combat power, she was even invincible among those of the same rank.

And the result was this?

Couldn't even solve her own disciple's illness?

Congenital myasthenia wasn't an incurable disease either!

Over a year's time, not to mention whether Jiang Yuan could reach the Sixth Realm Shi Shen and reshape his body.

Just speaking of battles before reaching the Sixth Realm strength.

Would this not affect his combat power?

Oh, it actually didn't affect him much, after all, there was still over a year, and daily life was fine. The myasthenia hadn't worsened yet.

Plus, as a unique Summoning Card Master, all of Jiang Yuan's combat power was on his Card Spirits, so naturally, it didn't affect his combat power.

But this still wouldn't do.

From the Fourth Realm, Jiang Lou, breaking through to the Fifth Realm, Great Beam, humans basically already encountered bottlenecks.

It wasn't uncommon for a bottleneck to last several years.

If...

The three of them thought of this problem simultaneously.

“No, I'll do it!”

Just as Yu Chengtian and Miao Xinghuo were about to speak, Guan Chutian directly cut in, looking at Jin Lingyu with determination.

“If your academy has no intention of cultivating him, then you can transfer him to our academy and he can become my disciple.”

After Guan Chutian finished speaking, Yu Chengtian, Miao Xinghuo, and Jin Lingyu, the three Vice Principals, all looked at Guan Chutian with strange expressions.

Were those words she could say?

Hadn't she just been very displeased with Jiang Yuan because of her disciple?

“Don't look at me like that. Although I'm displeased that he eliminated my disciple, if a genius cannot receive good cultivation here, then you might as well let him go to other places. I believe people in other places will definitely be very willing to cultivate such a genius.”

Guan Chutian's expression was calm, showing no embarrassment at all about contradicting herself.

Yu Chengtian and Miao Xinghuo nodded in understanding after hearing this, but Jin Lingyu beside them still had a strange expression.

Seeing Jin Lingyu like this, Guan Chutian was about to say something more when she suddenly heard Jin Lingyu shout loudly.

“Li Yueying, someone wants to snatch your disciple!”

“What?!”

“Boom!”

Upon hearing this, Li Yueying slammed the table. The table, made of century-old ancient rock fir, instantly shattered, causing the Old Principal beside her to twitch his brow.

“Who has the audacity to try and snatch my disciple?!”

Ignoring the surprised and terrified gazes of the Students in the square, Li Yueying arrived beside Jin Lingyu in the blink of an eye, glaring at the three people in front of her.

“Her!”

Jin Lingyu smiled slightly, pointing at Guan Chutian.

“You?”

Li Yueying looked at Guan Chutian, a red card shining in her hand, and a burly figure appeared beside Guan Chutian.

Ignoring the two people beside her, who were shrinking their heads and looking utterly cowardly, Guan Chutian calmly stood up.

“It's me, what about it?”

“If you can't even treat your own disciple's illness, you might as well let him find another master sooner so he can soar faster.”

Guan Chutian looked at Li Yueying without fear: “If a genius Student cannot realize his talent because of his master, then he might as well die in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield!”

Guan Chutian was unceremonious, but Li Yueying felt a little strange in her heart upon hearing this.

She turned her head and glanced at Wang Wenqing, who was looking in their direction.

Hmm, she probably wasn't talking about herself.

However, Li Yueying, realizing what was happening, became furious again: “How did I not treat him?!”

“I gave him the red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure Spirit Jade Lotus without hesitation, and I've already prepared the red quality Phoenix Heart Blood. You say I didn't treat him?!”

Li Yueying's furious appearance left Guan Chutian and the other two a bit dumbfounded.

“But, why does he still have symptoms of myasthenia now?” Yu Chengtian mustered his courage, pointing at Jiang Yuan, who had transformed into a small bird on the Great Peng Golden-Winged Eagle's back on the screen, and asked.

“Because he doesn't want me to interfere with his treatment.”

Li Yueying sighed helplessly: “He told me he has three methods to treat himself, and if all of them fail, then he'll ask me for help.”

“That's why I just said I've prepared the Phoenix Heart Blood, not that I've already used it on him.”

“I see.”

After Li Yueying finished speaking, Guan Chutian and the other two finally nodded, understanding the situation.

However, three treatment methods, wasn't that overconfident?

Besides the special effects of heavenly material and earthly treasure, besides the body reshaping that comes with breaking through to the Sixth Realm Shi Shen, are there any other methods?

Even a pharmacist only refines heavenly material and earthly treasure into pills, and the effect is still derived from the heavenly material and earthly treasure.

So what was Jiang Yuan's third method?

Everyone was puzzled, but seeing Li Yueying's expression, they knew that Li Yueying probably didn't know what the third method was either, so they gave up on pressing the matter.

“Wait, they're fighting!”

Suddenly, Yu Chengtian shouted, and everyone's gaze immediately shifted from Jiang Yuan to Chen Xing Lake.

At Chen Xing Lake, the previously quiet atmosphere was instantly shattered by the arrival of two teams.

“You actually dared to come!”

Lu Dangping, ranked fifth in Bei Mang Academy, glared fiercely, roaring at the three people opposite him.

“Die, you bastards!”

With that, Lu Dangping led his two teammates and charged at the other team.

These two teams had old grudges. In a battle two days ago, they clashed and a great battle ensued.

Both sides, ten-person teams, a total of twenty people, were left with only three people per team after one battle.

So at this moment, when the two sides met, their eyes were particularly red.

However, the reason these two teams came here was originally to see if the other side would come here.

After all, the last battle couldn't continue due to the poison zone, so this time, they had to fight to the death.

However, with these two teams fighting here, the people hiding around were quite uncomfortable.
