Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 995 Lan Yu Meeting Yan Honghua, The Academy’s Recommendation

Shang Honghua fought Lin Yan in the first battle, and both were evenly matched.

As a matter of fact, it was not wise to expose one’s strength in public before the expedition to Penglai Island, and Shang Honghua knew it as well. However, she challenged Lin Yan because she wanted to test the strength of a fellow Fated One.

After a fair amount of exchange, Shang Honghua retreated.

“Hmph. You’re lucky this time,” Lin Yan grunted. “We don’t know who’s the lucky one here,” Shang Honghua scoffed.

After the battle, another warship arrived at the scene.

The ship ferried the students from Hundred Academy, and the crowd also recognized the ship from afar.

For a moment there, everyone’s faces turned grim in response to the arrival of the academy’s ship.

“Is he coming?”

“The academy? I heard that guy became a Master at the academy. I believe he will come to the emergence of Penglai Island.” “The heaven-defying and Immortal-slaying Chu Kuangren.”

The crowd looked on nervously, and the looks in the Immortal Progenies’ eyes grew heavier.

Shang Honghua, on the other hand, welcomed the arrival of the academy’s ship.

However, after she scanned over all the passengers on the ship, disappointment overwhelmed her again. He was not there.

“It seems like the academy came prepared. Three Masters, all Immortals, are leading the trip. Even Gu Liufang and Gu Wuqing, both King Immortal Progenies, are here. They were no doubt an ancient immortal orthodoxy.”

“That’s right, but I don’t see that person anywhere.”

“Somehow, it feels a little dull without him.”

On the warship of the Oceanic Sword Grave, the Saber Lord slowly got up on his feet with furrowed brows. A rampant saber intent erupted from his body as he gazed upon the passengers on the academy’s ship. “Where is Chu Kuangren? There’s no way he will miss Penglai Island’s emergence.”

“The Thirteenth Master is in closed-door meditation,” the Fourth Master answered.

“closed-door meditation? What a joke! Penglai Island has emerged, and he’s in closed-door meditation? Is he a coward?!”

The gray, rageful sword qi started to emanate from the Saber Lord.

In his eyes, ferociousness slowly surfaced.

The Eldest Master glanced at him and said, “I heard that the Oceanic Sword Grave has a wicked technique, named the Avici Trinity Slash, which is a forbidden technique even in the Oceanic Sword Grave. However, it seems like you have cultivated that technique.”

“So what? I cultivated the Avici Trinity Slash and absorbed all the rageful sword qi so that I could defeat Chu Kuangren. Tell him to come out right now! I don’t care whether he’s in closed-door meditation or not.”

The ferociousness in his eyes grew stronger, and the saber intent around him became rampant. It felt like there were countless sword-wielding Ashuran ghouls around him, roaring en masse.

“You? You want to fight the King, eh? What a joke.”

At that moment, an indifferent voice sounded.

Shang Honghua walked over with her spear.

Her voice evoked delight in Lan Yu.

“Honghua, it really is you!”

“Lan Yu, it’s been a while!”

Shang Honghua looked at Lan Yu, sensing that her friend was no weaker than her. If she did not get the will of the Immortal World and become the Fated One, she would have fallen far behind Lan Yu.

“It seems like you’ve gotten yourself an Opportunity of Fortune.”

“I can say the same to you.” Lan Yu smiled.

Both girls from the same hometown had a lot to say to each other. “Fated One? I don’t mind killing you here and taking the title away from you,” the Saber Lord said coldly. “Would you like to give it a go?” Shang Honghua pointed her spear forward.

Lan Yu also stared at the Saber Lord coldly. “My master defeated you in a single blow. However, you can only blow your own trumpet since he’s not here. If he was, he would have killed you with a single thought.”

The ladies released their energies, which grew stronger and more rampant.

“That’s right. If the Master were here, it would only take one thought for him to defeat you.”

“You are not worthy of being the Master’s opponent.”

“You think too much of yourself.”

Gu Liufang, Gu Wuqing, and the others also criticized the Saber Lord’s reaction.

At that, the crowd tutted in awe.

Everyone present at the scene was a peerless Immortal Progeny, some even a King Immortal Progeny or Fated One. However, all of them revered the name Chu Kuangren.

Countless other cultivators who had never seen Chu Kuangren before were curious, wondering who exactly that person of peerless presence was.

“Nonsense!”

The Saber Lord’s ferociousness almost erupted at the crowd’s insults. The saber at his waist was already buzzing.

Right before his emotions erupted and he decided to fight all of them, a person came to his side and tapped his shoulder.

“Chu Kuangren is not here, and this is not a good time to be rash. Keep your emotions in check. Don’t let the rageful sword qi take control of you,” the man in black said.

“I understand, uncle.” The Saber Lord then took a deep breath and calmed himself down. After a fierce grunt, he kept quiet.

The lady in the imperial outfit came to the academy’s ship as well.

The Eldest Master and the others were shocked by her arrival.

She was an elite as powerful as the dean of the academy!

The Eldest Master asked solemnly, “You are…”

“Greetings, Masters of the academy. I am Gong Yue of Jade Clarity Immortal Sect and also Honghua’s teacher.” Gong Yue smiled.

“So you’re a senior from Jade Clarity Immortal Sect! Please forgive my manners.” The Eldest Teacher bowed with a fist salute.

Jade Clarity Immortal Sect was like the Hundred Academy, both originated from ancient times. Gong Yue was the current Jade Clarity Immortal Sect Leader, and it was said that she rarely appeared in public. Only a handful had heard of her.

Following the arrival of all the immortal orthodoxies, the expedition to Penglai Island began. However, every force had its respective expedition party. The only thing they did together was…

“Seal off the entire island. No other cultivators are allowed inside!”

“Any forces other than immortal orthodoxies are forbidden to come close. Those who trespass will be killed!”

“The weaker ones can stay out of this.”

All the immortal orthodoxies teamed up to set up heavy restriction seals around the island, forcing out a lot of cultivators.

Some of the cultivators, who were already on the island, were forced to leave due to the might of the immortal orthodoxies.

When the Ancient Immortal Battlefield emerged, the scale of it was too big for the immortal orthodoxies to occupy the place to themselves, hence allowing all the other cultivators to explore.

However, the fragmented Penglai Island was different. With all efforts combined, the immortal orthodoxies were able to occupy the entire island to themselves, not allowing outsiders to get their hands on the Opportunities of Fortunes.

The other cultivators complained and grumbled. Nevertheless, there was nothing they could do because they had no background and were not powerful enough.

“Tsk tsk. Bully much?” Shang Honghua said.

“This is reality. Even immortal orthodoxies cannot change the fact.” Gong Yue smiled helplessly.

“Whatever. Let’s go explore first.”

The expedition to the island happened as soon as they set foot on the shore.

Meanwhile, a few million kilometers away at Hundred Academy, Chu Kuangren remained in his room. Countless spiritual powers converged upon him, and Daoist chimes echoed in the air while a Proclamation Seal formed again.

A while later, all the conjurations faded, and the door finally opened.

The alcoholic stench gushed out, following the emergence of a young man in white.

The young man could barely keep his eyes open, and his handsome face was flushed red. He called out instinctively, “Lan Yu, get me a pail of water.”

However, he did not get a reply. Even the conjuration of the Proclamation Seal did not attract a soul. It was as if such an unusual phenomenon was common to the people of the academy, which was not too far from the truth.

Everyone in the academy had gotten used to it.

Chu Kuangren had caused so many unusual conjurations that the students and teachers were already numb to them.

They were just Proclamation Seals.

There was nothing too surprising about that.
