Chapter 1178: To Quit the Academy

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“How dare you!” The elders of the academy were irritated by his bold comment.

“Isn’t it exactly what the academy is?” Jiang Chen did not care a straw. His eyes were very bright. He glanced over at the elders.

“It seeks win-win relationships. Doesn’t practice any moral blackmail on its disciples. That is why there are no elders in any department palace.”

“All this is based on justice and fairness.”

“It’s you who sabotaged it. Why are you irritated?” He reproached the elders instead. They were really shocked. And they were speechless under his reproach. They had no idea how to rebuke his arguments at all.

“The three-month disciplinary confinement is the academy’s decision. We are only here to carry it out.” These elders had lived for a long time in the world. They were certainly smart enough to not argue with him.

Their answer made Jiang Chen feel as if his punch had accomplished nothing. Squinting, Jiang Chen said, “How will you carry it out then?”

The elders gave off the energy of Martial Emperors right away to block the entire Thunder Department.

“I see. In that case, I’ll quit the Academy of the Land of Abundance,” Jiang Chen said.

Lin Yu, next to him, was shocked by his answer. The elders had never expected him to do that for real.

“Do you think the Academy of the Land of Abundance is somewhere you can come and go at will?” Elder Li shouted.

“According to the rules of the academy, disciples have the freedom to leave. The only condition is that they are not allowed to join the other two academies for three years.”

Jiang Chen gave him a tough reply, not being intimidated at all. He knew the rules of the academy perfectly well.

“Providing that you’ve made some achievements as a disciple of the academy. The resources for which you exchange the basic feats that the academy gives you every day should not be used for nothing,” Another elder said.

“I have done thousands of feats here. They should be enough to pay you back.” Jiang Chen threw them his token.

“What?”

“Thousands of feats?!”

The elders were shocked. They all knew Jiang Chen had joined the academy not long ago. However, the information the token was showing was exactly as Jiang Chen had said. And he was a ghost-level disciple.

Elder Li felt worried, due to what Jiang Chen had said at the beginning.

“You won’t get Martial Soul Stones, essence blood of holy beasts, or Spirit Liquid anymore once you leave the academy!” he said.

“Elder, this isn’t your concern.”

Then, Jiang Chen began leaving the Sword God Palace.

“Apprentice Elder Brother Jiang Chen, I’ll go with you.”

Lin Yu had made up his mind after struggling. He threw the disciple token of the academy away. Jiang Chen saw the firmness in Lin Yu’s eyes when he was about to ask the latter whether he had thought it over. Then he knew he did not need to ask at all.

“What shall we do?” The elders started to communicate through holy awareness.

“This guy is as unbridled as the rumors have it. If he chooses to leave the academy, we won’t be able to punish him at all.”

“After all, his divine body broke the curse. In the future, if he…”

The air suddenly froze. Everyone looked toward Elder Li.

Jiang Chen chose to leave because he could not put up with them. If he became mature in the future, aside from whether he would avenge himself, they would be the sinners of the Academy of the Land of Abundance. The Lins, who were behind all this, would not be able to stay clean.

“It’s impossible for him to become mature!” Elder Li lifted his face and threw Jiang Chen a cold look.

The other elders were shocked. They immediately knew what he was going to do, but none of them showed it.

The disciples who were following the incident went into an uproar when they had been informed of Jiang Chen’s leaving. They did not know Jiang Chen had made the decision by himself. They thought it was a punishment.

“The academy is insane!”

“Despite Jiang Chen’s character, he will have a great future.”

“Hu Dingkun is dead. If Jiang Chen is also driven away, the academy will lose more!”

The disciples of the Sword God Palace could not understand such a decision. Jiang Chen had showed his potential and fighting power. He could undertake any task alone. That was for sure.

“Excellent sailors always think they are the ones who steer the ship, but in fact, it’s the ship who gives the sailors the opportunity.” Watching Jiang Chen leaving, Feng Shaoyu said. Jiang Chen was great indeed, but the Academy of the Land of Abundance could afford to lose him.

However, if Jiang Chen left the academy, how would he establish himself in the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts? Without the support of the academy, he would be like a sheep thrown to the wolves in the banquet of the Wizard Race. He would be in deep water.

“Apprentice Elder Brother Jiang Chen, where are we going?”

Lin Yu was a little lost after leaving with him. Flying over the sea, there seemed to be no end ahead of them. The disciples of the Sword God Palace needed their tokens to leave and return. They went everywhere through portals. No one had ever flown out of there. Not any of the disciples knew where exactly the Sword God Palace was located.

“Why are you leaving with me?” Jiang Chen asked him instead of answering him.

“Apprentice elder brother, I don’t want to stay at the Sword God Palace anymore if you leave,” Lin Yu said.

“What are you going to do? Where is your home?”

“I was a disciple of some spirit-level Holy Land. I got an inheritance of thunder methods by coincidence. That was how I joined the academy.” Lin Yu went on, “I can go back to the sect, but if I go back this way, I’m sure people will laugh at me.” The elders and the headmaster of the sect would also blame him. However, he did not tell Jiang Chen about that.

“Stay with me. Let’s start something greater than the academies,” Jiang Chen said. Lin Yu was shocked. He could hardly believe what he had heard. Greater than the academies? In the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts? He thought maybe he had heard wrong, but then he got an affirmative answer. He could not help but feel hot-blooded.

When he was about to answer, an overwhelming pressure shrouded the two. Lin Yu was terribly apprehensive. He came up with an assumption right away. When he was going to warn Jiang Chen, he found the latter looked pretty calm, as if he had anticipated the current situation—that Elder Li had shown up. He had been angry, but at the moment he was beaming, because he had heard about Jiang Chen’s plan.

“I thought you were leaving the academy for some smart plan, but you turn out to be a moron. Just listen to what you said? Greater than the academies?” He literally laughed till he cried..

“The Academy of the Land of Abundance can kill thousands of people like me, and I can kill you thousands of times.”

“You are as small as an ant. How dare you boast like that?” His voice became colder and colder after he stopped laughing.

“So, why are you here?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Oh?” Elder Li did not realize what Jiang Chen meant right away, but he got the point very soon. He frowned. If things were really like what he had claimed, he would not have had to come here to get rid of this potential risk. “I’m here to terminate your wild dream,” Elder Li said.

“Elder, if you insist on doing this, the academy won’t do anything about it,” Lin Yu said nervously.

“Ha, ha, ha. Jiang Chen, a rebellious disciple, offended an elder. He attacked me. I had no other choice but to kill him.”

Elder Li did not take them seriously at all. Pointing at Lin Yu, he said, “As to you, who will care a fig if you die?”

It was a big blow for Lin Yu. He turned very pale.

“Unfortunately, you won’t be able to kill me,” Jiang Chen said.

“Oh? You don’t think a Martial Emperor is strong enough to kill you?” Elder Li said with a cold smile.

“Exactly,” Jiang Chen answered quickly. Then he patted a rock not far away. A powerful colorful current erupted by the rock and devoured Jiang Chen and Lin Yu.

“That’s not good! Portal!” Elder Li hurried to jump to the portal, but unfortunately, it was too late.
