Chapter 946: Academy Competition

A divine technique missile, a thousand times more powerful than Xu Gang’s usual East Wind Divine Technique, slowly rose into the sky.

Grape created a small opening at the top of the sect’s formation, just enough for the divine technique missile to pass through.

A light curtain appeared in front of Xu Fan and Xu Gang.

The divine technique missile glowed with a bright tail flame, seemingly propelling itself towards the distant territory of the Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys.

“Master, why add a tail flame? Wasn’t it unnecessary after reaching the Great Ascension stage?” Xu Gang asked, puzzled.

“Don’t you think it adds a sense of intimidation?” Xu Fan replied.

The divine technique missile quickly gained speed, leaving a trail stretching tens of thousands of miles across the sky, and soon approached the outskirts of the Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys’ territory.

The immense power of the divine technique missile, combined with the core fusion of yin and yang, twisted as it prepared to unleash its force, making the Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys feel as if their race was facing imminent doom.

“Chief, run!!!” All the Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys fled in panic, sensing that if the divine technique missile hit, their ten-thousand-mile territory would be obliterated.

“It’s no use~”

The Four-Eyed Demon Monkey chief, at the peak of true immortal cultivation, looked towards the edge of their territory.

A vast Celestial Script Formation had trapped their entire land, along with the unknown threat looming in the sky.

All of this indicated that the Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys had provoked someone they shouldn’t have.

Suddenly, the chief knelt down and, channeling all his Demonic Energy towards the Hidden Spirit Sect, shouted.

“Please spare us, Immortal Sect!!”

“The Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys admit their mistake!!!”

The chief’s powerful voice echoed, resonating across a hundred thousand miles.

The massive sound wave energy dispersed clouds for thousands of miles.

Yet, the divine technique missile continued to fly straight towards the Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys’ territory.

Just when it seemed all was lost, the divine technique missile flew past the territory and struck the distant mountains behind.

In an instant, the powerful explosion plunged the area into darkness, illuminated only by the radiant burst of the divine technique missile.

The core area of the explosion flickered with countless interwoven lights of black and white.

Numerous tiny space cracks tore through the explosion zone.

“Form a defensive battle formation!!” The experienced Four-Eyed Demon Monkey chief, upon seeing the light, knew what was coming.

All the Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys quickly gathered, forming a strong defensive battle formation.

The strongest true immortal Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys stood on the outer edge, protecting the younger ones in the center.

As soon as the formation was complete, a wave of explosive energy, cutting through the heavens, swept in.

The energy from the explosion scorched everything, tearing apart the surrounding space and igniting all nearby spiritual energy and celestial energy.

If not for the Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys’ diamond bodies, this wave alone could have wiped out their entire clan.

Time passed unknowingly, and gradually, the sky brightened as the explosive aftermath faded.

The leader of the Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys, covered in burn scars, gazed up at the sky from the outer edge of the defensive battle formation.

As he looked around, he saw that nearly half of their territory had been devastated.

The spiritual herbs and Spiritual Fruits they had cultivated, along with the spirit beasts they had raised, were all destroyed. The only solace was that the core small world remained intact.

“Thank you, Immortal Sect, for sparing my clan!!”

The Four-Eyed Demon Monkey leader, along with his entire clan, knelt in the direction of the Hidden Spirit Sect.

In the Immortal Realm, there is no right or wrong—only the strong and the weak.

For the strong to forgive the weak is a gift in itself.

In Xu Fan’s courtyard, Xu Gang watched the light curtain, his excitement palpable.

“Master, I’ve finally understood!”

“In this world, there is no inherent restraint—only differences in power!”

Xu Gang’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Xu Fan.

“I was just teaching you how to properly control the core energy entanglement of the East Wind Divine Technique, but it seems you’ve taken it in a rather peculiar direction?” Xu Fan said, glancing at his eager disciple.

“You’ve mastered the East Wind Divine Technique, but you still haven’t grasped the core entanglement of the transforming yin and yang energy.”

“But don’t worry—these are minor issues. Just keep practicing, and you’ll get there,” Xu Fan reassured him, patting his disciple’s shoulder.

Aside from that, Xu Gang had become a formidable force among the Quasi-Immortals and true immortals, a true powerhouse.

Even when pursued by hundreds of true immortal demon monkeys from his clan, he managed to retreat unscathed—a feat worth noting.

“Master, I understand!” Xu Gang nodded.

“Now that the sect has stabilized, don’t just focus on training. Go to the treasury, take some Immortal Jade, and explore the cities. Experience the wonders of the Immortal Realm.”

When it came to staying indoors, Xu Gang had truly inherited his master’s habits, rarely venturing outside the sect.

“I will, Master.”

Xu Gang thought of his wife and nodded.

At that moment, two Holy Thunder Cannons rose from the Hidden Spirit Sect, soaring into the sky.

Watching them ascend, Xu Fan felt a renewed sense of security.

“Master, the fourth-generation disciples are starting the inter-academy team competition. Would you like to watch?” Grape’s voice chimed in.

“What’s the competition about?” Xu Fan asked.

“It’s set in a temporary small world, where teams can freely showcase their skills.”

“With time acceleration, the academy with the most points after one year will be crowned the champion,” Grape explained.

“Interesting.”

As Xu Fan spoke, a light curtain appeared before him.

Inside the light curtain, time flowed at ten times its normal rate.

By now, the 83 million newly enrolled disciples had spent two years in the sect and had fully adapted to academy life.

As the talents of various disciples emerged, the academies began to develop distinct styles.

Some academies excelled in body refinement, their students mastering battle formations to perfection.

Others specialized in artifact crafting, forging magical artifacts to arm themselves or trade with other academies for points to boost their cultivation resources.

Some academies pursued a balanced approach, excelling in artifact crafting, alchemy, talismanic arts, and puppetry.

Then there were those academies that thrived in divination and strategy, forming alliances and employing cunning schemes.

Xu Fan felt a flicker of anticipation for the unique developments among the academies.

He wondered what kind of sparks would fly when they clashed.

Inside the light curtain, the artifact-crafting academy had landed in the area and immediately began searching for spirit ore, setting up a production line for basic magical artifacts.

They crafted a batch of basic flying treasures and started exploring the surroundings.

This competition tested comprehensive abilities, so participants were only allowed to wear one set of clothing, bringing nothing else with them.

Before long, semi-automatic production lines for basic magical artifacts were up and running.

The students from the artifact-crafting academy began arming themselves, but unfortunately, they were right next to the academy that excelled in battle formations.

Over three hundred thousand battle formation experts advanced with overwhelming force.

“Collective points of 37—refuse, and we’ll crush you!” Wu Gang, their leader, declared boldly.
