Long Chenās expression turned cold. The Chu family really was skilled. They actually knew that this person was from the High Firmament Academy.
It went without saying that the host had given them their registration list and now anyone that was enemies with the High Firmament Academy knew the names of their disciples. When they saw the names, they would immediately launch a killing blow without giving Long Chen and the others a chance to concede.
This dagger was a war challenge to them and also to Long Chen. Although he had been prepared from the start, seeing this dagger still caused his anger to soar. He had an urge to find the Chu familyās people within the crowd and kill them all.
Seeing Long Chenās furious state, even Lu Mingxuan was so scared that she didnāt dare to say anything.
As for the Battle God Palaceās people, as they returned one by one, seeing their slain comrade infuriated them. If they were killed, they could only say that their power was inferior to the other side. But to stab a dagger into a personās forehead like this, it was clear that the other side wanted to humiliate them.
āSorry. We implicated you.ā Luo Xue apologized, sighing.
āIt has nothing to do with the Luo family. The Chu family tried to sneak into the academy and observe us. This is the enmity between us,ā said Bai Shishi.
Although on the surface it appeared as if the Chu family was targeting the academy because of the Luo family, the reality wasnāt so simple.
āYou should all retreat now.ā After a moment of silence, Bai Shishi turned to those Battle God Palace disciples.
āWeā¦ā Those disciples were shocked and angered. If they retreated now, it would be an even greater disgrace to them. They werenāt afraid of death.
āDonāt say anything. Fairy Shishi is the leader, and we have to listen to her,ā said a dark-faced disciple amongst them. This disciple rarely spoke.
āBig brother Zhaoā¦ā Those disciples couldnāt help being aggrieved. This big brother Zhao was the strongest amongst them, as well as the one with the greatest prestige. They had no choice but to listen to him.
āThese are the orders. Donāt distract senior apprentice-brother Long Chen. Because of usā¦ā Big brother Zhao looked at Long Chen.
Only then did they pay attention. Long Chenās expression was shockingly dark. The chilling killing intent made the people closest to him shiver.
They hadnāt expected Long Chenās reaction to be even greater than theirs. They didnāt know what to say, so they fell silent.
āLong Chen, calm down. The Chu family is doing this on purpose to anger us,ā said Luo Xue.
āTheyāve succeeded.ā
Long Chen nodded. He understood that it was intentional and that getting angry was falling for their trap. But he couldnāt stop himself.
Now the Battle God Palaceās disciples understood why Bai Shishi wanted them to leave. Long Chen was unable to tolerate this kind of provocation. If this continued, all of them would be used to repeatedly provoke Long Chen.
In comparison, they were far too weak. It would be all too easy for their opponents to instantly kill them without giving them a chance to concede.
Although it was a blow to their confidence, they had no choice but to admit that they were lacking compared to those top experts. Giving up was the wisest choice for Long Chen and the others.
The Battle God Palaceās tablets turned dark, their runes shattering. This indicated that they had given up.
āDonāt worry, the glory of the High Firmament Academy will be upheld by us in your place,ā said Bai Xiaole. He felt bad seeing these people give up, so he patted his chest.
āLong Chen, you have to calm down. With your Blood Qi circulating so quickly, your judgment will be affected if you encounter an expert,ā said Lu Mingxuan.
It had just been an ordinary disciple who had died. She didnāt know why he was so incredibly angry. After all, that person was not his friend or family.
Long Chen shook his head. āItās fine. Anger will only cause my power to increase. I also donāt know why Iām so angry. Perhaps I raised my realm too quickly. Donāt worry, I think it might get better after killing a few people.ā
Just at this moment, the next round started. Long Chen once more appeared on a martial stage.
As soon as he arrived, he shot forward, transforming into a phantom. He then grabbed his opponentās throat.
That person had just appeared, and before he even saw Long Chen, he was caught. He didnāt even have a chance to concede.
Long Chen eyed that person. After a moment, he slowly let go. That person was absolutely terrified, thinking that he was definitely dead. But Long Chen let him off.
Only then did he see Long Chenās face, and he hastily kowtowed. āMany thanks instructor Long Chen for not killing me.ā
This person admitted defeat and left. He didnāt even realize that in that instant, his soul was already captured by Long Chenās gaze.
Long Chen returned. Lu Mingxuan, Bai Shishi, and the others also returned. They exchanged a look and shook their heads. The atmosphere was a bit heavy, and no one said anything.
The Battle God Palaceās disciples had given up, but they could still stay here and observe the rest of the battles.
Half an incense stickās worth of time later, the next round started. Long Chen once more appeared on the martial stage and attacked in an instant, subduing his opponent immediately.
Runes revolved in Long Chenās eyes. He forcibly searched through this personās memories.
āIāve found it.ā
Long Chen snorted and his Spiritual Strength erupted. A spiritual sword then stabbed through that personās mind, causing his head to explode. A large number of memories entered Long Chenās mind.
Long Chen returned and finally smiled. Seeing him smile, Bai Shishi and the others also smiled.
āIāve obtained some names. Iāll share them with you,ā said Long Chen.
āIāve also found some people targeting us. Iāll share them with everyone,ā said Luo Xue.
This time, three people amongst their opponents were part of the group targeting the High Firmament Academy. They all had the list of names of the High Firmament Academyās disciples.
Through forceful soulsearches, Long Chen and the others could rip out the list of their people. That way they could kill each other.
This kind of soulsearch was simple and crude. Since these memories were not sect secrets, there were no spiritual seals protecting them, and that made them easy to find.
At this time, the only ones participating in the competition were Long Chen, Bai Shishi, young master Changchuan, Bai Xiaole, Lu Mingxuan, Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Luo Xue, Luo Qing, and Mu Qingyun. They were all experts.
Although Luo Bing and Luo Ning were a bit weaker in comparison, as long as they didnāt encounter any supreme experts, they should have no problem. Even if they did encounter a supreme expert, they at least had the power to admit defeat first.
Following this, they began killing their opponents. Long Chen would always check his opponentsā memories. As long as it was an enemy, he would do a berserk soulsearch to grab the list of his opponentās allies.
āLong Chen, we seem to have been targeted.ā Lu Mingxuan stealthily whispered to Long Chen. He looked around and sensed countless gazes full of killing intent.
Long Chen smiled and raised his fist, the middle finger raised high.
