Chapter 76 Shameless

Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Shameless"Lin Xiaodu." As she pondered, Deacon Lan’s voice came from the stage. Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaodu immediately stepped up for testing. "Spirit Sea Realm, second layer, late stage!" "Poison Body!" Deacon Lan’s expression was also one of surprise. He hadn’t expected that such a Poison Body, lying between a Battle Body and a Spiritual Body, would emerge from Guangling City. This Poison Body could be considered a Half Spirit Body. Moreover, the owner of a Poison Body possesses Poison Spiritual Power, which most cultivators generally dare not engage with. Although the rules of True Martial Academy state that students should not kill each other in disputes, The owner of this kind of Poison Body, like Lin Xiaodu, could use poison to make their opponent’s life worse than death. After all, the poison within this natural Poison Body is very complex, not just of one type, but a mixture of many, not something ordinary Detoxification Elixirs can resolve. Many people looked towards Lin Xiaodu with a hint of wariness in their eyes. "The last person, Ling Yunfei." Deacon Lan continued. As for Ling Yunfei’s nine-star talent and mid-stage third layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, the prospective students didn’t care too much. With Ling Yunfei’s testing complete, the entire verification ceremony finally ended. There were ten possessors of Spiritual Bodies. One with a Half Spirit Body. Forty-two owners of Battle Bodies. The rest were all eight or nine-star talents. No, there’s also Ling Chen, who has no cultivation talent at all. Next, naturally, was the determination of student status based on cultivation level and talent. Those with Spiritual Bodies were naturally, without a doubt, going to be divided into core students. The others could basically become outer disciples directly. But Lin Xiaodu and Ling Chen posed some difficulty for Elder Bai. Lin Xiaodu, with a Poison Body, had quite a gap from a Spiritual Body. It seemed inappropriate to grant her the identity of a core student. "Ah, forget it, let her be an outer disciple! If she performs well later on, it’s not too late to grant her the status of a core student then." In the end, Elder Bai made a decision. "What about this Ling Chen?" Deacon Lan asked. True Martial Academy had never accepted someone without any cultivation talent. "Send him back to where he came from!" Elder Bai waved his hand. An individual built up by Elixirs would be of limited achievement in the future; there was no need to waste the academy’s resources on him. "Alright then!" Deacon Lan nodded. He directly crossed out Ling Chen’s name from the register. Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He then flipped to Ling Chen’s details page, ready to tear it out. But when his gaze fell on the details page, he was suddenly taken aback. Elder Bai looked at Deacon Lan with dissatisfaction and said, "What’s the matter? Is there an issue?" Deacon Lan was supposed to make the announcement as Elder Bai had instructed. Why was he dawdling? Deacon Lan’s face wore a bizarre expression as he glanced at Ling Chen, handed over the register, and said with a trembling voice, "Elder Bai, please take a look at this, Ling Chen defeated Su Qingyun." "Who is Su Qingyun?" Elder Bai was startled at first, then immediately realized: "The Golden Spirit Body?" "Yes." Deacon Lan nodded. "Let me see!" Elder Bai snatched the register and started reading. "How is this possible?" Seeing the incontrovertible ink on white paper, Elder Bai exclaimed in disbelief. You have to understand, Su Qingyun is the Golden Spirit Body, and also at the third layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, in terms of strength, comparable to a cultivator of the fourth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. How could Ling Chen, merely at the second layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, defeat Su Qingyun? Even with his decades of life experience, he had never seen such an unbelievable event? Moreover, Ling Chen had no cultivation talent at all! The actions on stage naturally drew the attention of the prospective students below. Everyone began murmuring amongst themselves in low voices. "Ling Chen, come up here!" At this time, Elder Bai summoned Ling Chen onto the stage. "Elder Bai, what is it?" Ling Chen walked up to the high platform and bowed slightly in greeting. "Did you really defeat Su Qingyun?" Elder Bai asked in a deep voice. Ling Chen, confused, nodded earnestly: "Yes." This matter should have been reported by Elder Qin. Why was he still being asked about it now? Little did he know, the scene was so unbelievable that Elder Bai couldn’t bring himself to believe it without asking personally. "What, this kid defeated Su Qingyun with the Golden Spirit Body?" Some of the prospective students near the stage heard and soon the news spread among the crowd. Su Qingyun, who had been strutting around arrogantly, heard the people’s discussions and with a "thud", fell to the ground. It was a moment of extreme shame for him, and now, all these people knew about it. Soon, it seemed, the entire True Martial Academy would know. "Eh, that guy there is Su Qingyun, right?" "Is that the one defeated by the kid with no talent?" ... Mocking laughter followed, and Su Qingyun fled with his face covered. Elder Bai stared at Ling Chen and continued to interrogate: "Even with a superior-grade Spirit Art, you’re no match for Su Qingyun! Speak, what tricks did you use?" "It was a superior-grade Spirit Art!" Ling Chen spoke out. "Impossible!" Elder Bai asserted dismissively. He had seen countless people, but from Ling Chen’s eyes, he did not detect any lies. "Your cultivation is at the late second layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, while Su Qingyun is at the middle third layer; and yet, his Spiritual Power should be on par with the initial fourth layer! With such a big gap between you two, even a superior-grade Spirit Art couldn’t bridge it!" Elder Bai continued. "Right, your analysis is correct!" Ling Chen nodded. "Then speak the truth! Did you bribe the two elders who went recruiting? To concoct such an absurd story, did you really think you could fool me?" Elder Bai laughed. A person with no cultivation talent dares to cheat in front of him? Ridiculous! "I have nothing else to say!" Ling Chen replied indifferently with a smile. He was truly disappointed. This True Martial Academy, to have an elder make such an arbitrary decision without consulting other elders was truly disheartening. No wonder the True Martial Academy was declining within the eight academies of the Great Xia Dynasty! "Elder Bai, we can testify that Ling Chen really did defeat Su Qingyun!" Below, Lin Xiaodu and Ling Yunfei called out loudly. They had witnessed the scene with their own eyes, and given their close relationship with Ling Chen, they naturally wanted to defend him. "Ha, so he has accomplices, huh?" Elder Bai smiled triumphantly: "Today I will make you admit defeat willingly! Where is Su Qingyun?" Wasn’t it said that Ling Chen defeated Su Qingyun? Then he would bring Su Qingyun over for a face-to-face confrontation. Su Qingyun, hiding alone in a corner, heard this and suddenly felt a stir in his heart, immediately rushing towards the high platform. "I have seen Elder Bai, may I know what instructions you have?" Su Qingyun said respectfully. Elder Bai nodded in satisfaction and smiled: "Su Qingyun, some time ago, did you ever suffer a defeat at this person’s hands?" "Absolutely not!" Su Qingyun replied righteously: "He’s merely at the second layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, how could he be my opponent?" On that day, he lost to Ling Chen mainly because he was careless. Otherwise, with his movement technique, defeating Ling Chen would have been easy! Now was an opportunity to clear the disgrace of that day, he would definitely not admit defeat. Elder Bai would surely let them have another match. Knowing Ling Chen’s cards, how could he possibly lose again?
