"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, just now the Fourth Prince…" The guard was reporting to Xue Qinghe about the scene that had just unfolded on the street.
The Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, who was hunched over, handling official duties, listened with great interest.
His slender fingers tapped lightly on the desk, and a faint smile unconsciously played at the corners of his lips.
"Interesting. Publicly assaulting a member of the Imperial Family. What is this person's background?"
"It has not yet been investigated. We only know his name is Jiang Yunzhou. Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Sect calls him 'Teacher'."
"Oh? This is even more interesting."
The Crown Prince waved his hand, "Go investigate all information about this person. You may withdraw."
"Yes," the guard replied.
Xue Qinghe closed the memorial in his hand and said,
"Ci Xue, follow me. I want to meet this person who dares to 'disregard Imperial authority'."
He hadn't encountered anything this amusing in a long time.
Someone who dares to ignore Imperial authority and openly do such a thing is either ridiculously strong or incredibly foolish.
If he truly is a strong individual, then it would be good to get to know him.
He did not have the guard accompany him; instead, he chose to make a private visit.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe had already appeared on the streets of Tian Dou City.
When she had leisure, she often did such things, partly to relax, and partly to try and blend into the hustle and bustle.
He casually waved his hand, and a figure hidden in the shadows quickly appeared.
"Where is he now?"
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, those individuals are currently inside the newly built 'Supreme Academy'."
"Furthermore, there is another matter. That Supreme Academy seems to have been gifted to that gentleman by Your Royal Highness's Teacher."
Xue Qinghe raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Oh? That's also true? That really is too interesting."
He waved for the person to withdraw and headed directly towards the Supreme Academy.
Jiang Yunzhou and his group of four encountered no obstacles along the way and successfully arrived at the academy.
But as soon as they reached the entrance, the expression on his face became a little hard to maintain.
He never expected that the academy Ning Fengzhi gifted would be directly opposite the "Lan Ba Academy."
Was this coincidence a bit too deliberate?
Lan Ba Academy is located on the outskirts of Tian Dou City, where there are vast plant clusters.
And at this moment, the Supreme Academy is also situated within this plant cluster, with the two academies separated by an official road.
"Rongrong, are you sure this is the right place?"
Ning Rongrong pointed to the plaque above the main gate and said, "Teacher, why don't you see for yourself? If I'm not mistaken, those four large characters should say 'Supreme Academy'."
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu looked around, unable to help but chuckle.
Jiang Yunzhou thought about it again; the environment here was indeed quiet and suitable for students' daily classes and training.
Since it was given for free, there was nothing to complain about, and he immediately felt relieved.
Seeming to recall something amusing, Jiang Yunzhou said, "Alright, actually this place is quite good. You can often go to the academy across the street to challenge them in the future."
Thinking that the All-Continent Elite Spirit Master Academy Tournament was less than two years away, it was better to gather the team members first.
The three girls exchanged a smile; they were familiar with this kind of business!
The four of them stepped into the academy, and looking around, an aura of wealth immediately greeted them.
He paused, genuinely marveling at how much Ning Fengzhi was willing to spend.
"Tsk tsk, how many gold coins must this have cost…" Jiang Yunzhou's eyes gleamed as he looked around.
Ning Rongrong raised an eyebrow, waving her hand nonchalantly: "It's just a trifle~"
Jiang Yunzhou silently disdained Ning Rongrong, muttering in his heart: "Rich slob."
"Fine, you're rich."
The academy was very large, and apart from the four of them, there was no one else, making it exceptionally desolate.
"Hey, this private courtyard should be my residence, right?" When they reached the living area, Jiang Yunzhou immediately spotted an independent small building.
"Of course, who would dare to snatch it from you!"
"That's truly excellent. I can finally have some peace and quiet, and I won't have to squeeze into a room with you all anymore."
He waved his hand, preparing to dismiss the three: "You've had your tour, now go find rooms you like."
Xiao Wu leaned over, blinking her eyes, and said,
"Teacher, aren't there quite a few rooms in this small courtyard? Can't we live here?"
"No, you're all grown up now; it's time to learn to be independent."
"We all lived together before, why can't we now?"
"That's different. Before, it was a temporary stay. Now, we might be staying for a long time. You'll all grow up eventually, you can't keep squeezing in with me, can you?"
The three girls wanted to say something more, but Jiang Yunzhou rejected them all. Unable to argue with him, they had no choice but to choose rooms nearby.
If they couldn't live together, at least they could live close by, right?
After they dispersed, Jiang Yunzhou's smile faded, and he muttered, "What's wrong with Xue Beng? His efficiency is so low; he hasn't even brought people to attack yet?"
No sooner had he spoken than a commotion erupted at the academy's entrance.
Jiang Yunzhou chuckled and shook his head, thinking: "They've finally arrived."
He flashed and appeared at the main gate.
He saw a hundred or so masked figures in black, lined up neatly, exuding a menacing aura.
Each of these individuals was filled with a murderous aura, clearly battle-hardened, with a minimum cultivation of Spirit King.
Jiang Yunzhou looked at the leader standing at the front, who was a Spirit Saint, with several Spirit Emperors behind him.
He nodded slightly and praised, "What a grand gesture!"
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have fallen this time.
"Are you Jiang Yunzhou?" The leading Spirit Saint asked coldly.
Jiang Yunzhou glanced at them, nodded, and said, "That would be me. Which faction are you from? Are you hiding your faces because you're afraid to be seen?"
He was secretly amused. Masked to cause trouble? Then even if they died, there would be no one to complain to.
After confirming their target, the other party said nothing more, directly waving his hand: "Attack! Demolish this academy and cripple him!"
At this moment, the entrance of Lan Ba Academy across the way was already packed with onlookers, pointing and gesticulating.
Some people even felt a faint sense of schadenfreude.
This academy opening here, wasn't it clearly competing with them?
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, the three girls, also quickly rushed to Jiang Yunzhou's side upon hearing the news.
The three felt a sense of urgency, but seeing Jiang Yunzhou's calm and composed demeanor, they inexplicably felt at ease.
"Teacher…"
Just as the three girls were about to attack, they heard Yunzhou say faintly, "These people are not weak. You all retreat first."
Jiang Yunzhou intended to act personally.
These people were not weak; their minimum cultivation was above Spirit King. The three girls simply couldn't withstand so many people attacking them.
Moreover, he also had the idea of using this opportunity to make a name for himself in one battle, establishing the reputation of the Supreme Academy.
The three girls exchanged glances, choosing to obey their Teacher's words, and quietly retreated to observe the battle.
To prevent the newly repaired academy from being affected, he directly released his Domain, isolating all Spirit Masters and attacks within the barrier.
He took a step forward, and eight spirit rings simultaneously emerged, slowly pulsating.
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Boundless Sword Tomb."
The incoming Spirit Abilities and Spirit Masters were instantly enveloped by the Sword Tomb Domain.
The leading Spirit Saint's eyes widened, and his heart trembled violently. He hadn't expected such a young person to be a Soul Douluo.
But before he could think further, Jiang Yunzhou was already at full power, whispering like a demonic chant:
"Fourth Spirit Ability: Myriad Transformation Sword Prison."
Countless dense flying swords crisscrossed within the barrier, and screams immediately erupted.
"Ah—!"
"Devil! This person is a devil!"
These Spirit Kings, Spirit Emperors, and even the leading Spirit Saint, almost all died instantly.
Some people didn't even have time to release their Spirit Abilities before they met their demise.
The hundred or so people who had arrived so aggressively never expected to fall here, without even a chance to resist.
The three girls, who had initially shown worried expressions, were now dumbfounded.
They knew their Teacher was strong, but they didn't know he could be so strong as to instantly annihilate everyone present!
At this moment, a sense of pride spontaneously arose, and the three of them unconsciously straightened their backs a few centimeters.
Not only them, but the onlookers, the "melon-eaters," also felt their scalps tingle at this moment, and even their discussions were silenced.
