Chapter 435: He Must Be a Senior From My Academy!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the high seat, Chang Zizai felt somewhat disappointed when he noticed that Jiang Hao hadn’t arrived.

He always felt like there was something more to discover with him. It might not be significant to others, but it was crucial to him.

One sentence from him had made their morning readings better. Such a person happened to be a senior at that.

Otherwise, there were many ways to get him to join the academy.

“Chang Zizai, are your people still competing in movement techniques?” asked Qingshan.

“Probably not. I heard they were badly defeated, and going there would just result in ridicule. Everyone would say scholars should go back to their books,” Chang Zizai said helplessly. Then, he looked curious. “Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

“Some of our sect’s people also competed, and some elders asked me to keep an eye on a disciple. Unexpectedly, he went to compete in movement technique. It seems he finds that interesting,” Qingshan said in annoyance. “It is said that one disciple only studied for less than two years and then escaped from the sect, and he’s still missing. I remember he told his master that he wanted to play hide and seek, and then they couldn’t find him. I’m a bit worried that the same thing might happen this time.”

“Why would disciples of Clear Sky School escape?” Chang Zizai couldn’t understand.

Qingshan had no idea what those people were thinking.

At this moment, they looked at the area where the movement technique competition was taking place.

Sure enough, they saw a man with extraordinary bearing and an air of ease about him.

Chang Zizai was stunned for a moment. “Why are there people from the academy?

His gaze fell on a woman. She was also a scholar who sought knowledge and enlightenment.

He was surprised. Then, he saw the others around her, which shocked him even more.

“Isn’t that Disciple Jiang?” Qingshan stared at him.

He was still using his cultivation realm at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Why was that senior here?

Was a movement technique competition really that interesting?

They paid attention to the competition.

Meanwhile, Hua Han came to serve tea once again.

When she saw the seniors watching the competition so seriously, she looked in that direction.

“Huh?” She saw Jiang Hao and stopped to watch.

“Who do you think will win?” The seniors discussed. Jiang Hao’s participation had made the competition more interesting.

“Of course, that disciple. After all, we can’t lower ourselves to bullying children,” someone said helplessly.

“It’s hard to say. Movement techniques don’t necessarily depend on high cultivation. Many people specialize in agility, like Light and Dust from the Astronomical Academy. That’s why they were the weakest and the slowest,” said a man carrying a sword.

Chang Zizai was speechless.

He had been ridiculed so many times because of the worthless disciples.

“If this Disciple Jiang loses, won’t he be embarrassed? Even if he wins, it’s nothing special,” said a woman.

Hua Han didn’t speak. In theory, that was correct, but it depended on how this senior would win.

“I don’t know about the others, but I’m sure Light and Dust Technique will fall behind.”

“Light and Dust Technique is famous, so he won’t be the last.” Chang Zizai’s face changed, but he couldn’t refute them.

He had to stop those old men from making fun of the Light and Dust technique. It had become a constant joke now.

At this moment, Jiang Hao looked ahead. He was ready to start.

Suddenly, a spell bound them, and then the spell dissipated.

In an instant, everyone rushed. Jiang Hao didn’t fall behind.

However, he didn’t rush to exert himself but instead followed the others with the same calm and ease as Light and Dust taught him.

But what surprised him was that a woman next to him used a spell somewhat similar to his.

‘Light and Dust from the Astronomical Academy?’ Jiang Hao guessed.

The woman also looked at Jiang Hao with some astonishment. She felt that the Light and Dust Technique he used was somewhat similar and yet different. She couldn’t describe it.

At this moment, Jiang Hao looked at a young man on the right. He had a smile on his face, and his aura displayed a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation. Yet, he seemed as free as the wind. He seemed unbound and unrestricted.

‘Pretty impressive!

It seemed that agility was also related to one’s state of mind.

“You guys are a bit slow. I’ll leave you behind,” he said, then quickly moved ahead.

The remaining people were struggling to catch up.

Jiang Hao smiled and suddenly felt that this was getting interesting.

No matter who his opponent was, it didn’t affect his inner peace.

His steps were steady and balanced, and his aura was restrained.

The scholars from the Astronomical Academy felt somewhat helpless. They thought this time they could earn other’s respect.

The woman from before wanted to greet her fellow disciple nearby and let him continue, but when she looked at the person next to her, she was stunned.

There was a faint light on him as if merging with sunlight yet appearing as tiny as dust.

In the next moment, he disappeared, and then it seemed like he reappeared around them.

Under the sunlight, he seemed to be everywhere and nowhere.

‘Is that really the Light and Dust?

For a moment, she was rooted to the spot. She forgot to even compete.

Her gaze was locked on Jiang Hao. In just a few blinks, he had already reached the front.

He stood on the same line as the leading two.

At the high seat, the powerful seniors were stunned when they saw Jiang Hao use the Light and Dust Technique. Some felt that he was intentionally trying to lose. It was even more humiliating for the Astronomical Academy.

But when Jiang Hao’s figure was covered by the light and seemed to be everywhere, they were all stunned, especially Chang Zizai.

He looked at Jiang Hao with excitement without saying a word. He knew what technique that was.

Light and Dust Technique. The real deal.

“I understand now,” Chang Zizai said excitedly. “This senior might be an elder from our academy. He recently returned from seclusion, comprehended the Light and Dust Technique, and encouraged us to continue our morning readings. He must be from our academy. Who else would use that technique? Maybe he saw that our academy was being insulted by all of you, so he personally chose to compete to let you all witness the glory of the Light and

Dust Technique.”

Everyone felt that it made sense.

“Don’t praise yourselves too much. It’s obvious that this senior has comprehended the Light and Dust Technique and is kindly demonstrating it to your academy, which is in such a sorry state,” Qingshan said.

“It’s definitely our academy’s senior! ” Chang Zizai insisted.

At this moment, Jiang Hao was still chasing behind someone.

He observed the man whose blood was burning strangely.

The man exuded a hostile aura as if he wanted to surpass the Golden Core Realm cultivator ahead of him.

That wasn’t easy. Jiang Hao could clearly feel that the Golden Core Realm cultivator’s movement technique was flawless.

“Your movement technique makes me feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before, yet it also feels unfamiliar. But it doesn’t matter,” the young man from the Clear Sky School said as he moved on.

Jiang Hao paid no attention to him and continued to observe the man with the blood aura.

The man noticed someone overtaking him and his gaze turned hostile.

‘Something’s strange.’

Jiang Hao used his Daily Appraisal ability.
