On the warship, Chen Hai looked down from his elevated position, a smug expression plastered across his face. He cast a disdainful glance at Su Chen and the others, his gaze finally settling on the Grand Elder, a mocking smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "It seems that this year's disciples from Stellar Academy aren't all that impressive. Could it be that they will end up at the bottom ten times in a row?"
The rankings of the Four Great Academies were determined by the number of high-level Cave Heavens each sect managed to seize. If the number of high-level Cave Heavens was equal, then the count of lower-level Cave Heavens would be compared.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's expression darkened, and he snorted coldly in rebuttal. "Hmph! Whether we succeed or not will be proven on the battlefield; there's no need for you to boast here!" His voice was firm and unwavering.
Chen Hai merely smiled indifferently in response, his smile concealing disdain and confidence towards Stellar Academy. His gaze swept over the disciples of Stellar Academy one by one.
Aside from Han Qinghou, who barely qualified as a notable figure having reached the quasi-Shenzong Realm, the rest appeared mediocre and unremarkable, with many yet to condense their Divine Status. Such strength would only serve as fodder for sharpening the blades of various Tian Jiao once they entered the battlefield.
At that moment, Chen Hai cleared his throat lightly, and suddenly, over a dozen figures emerged from the warship. These were young men and women appearing to be in their early twenties, radiating youthful vigor.
The Grand Elder's pupils involuntarily constricted as he felt a shock within. The disciples from Heavenly Dao Academy had all condensed their Divine Status without exception, with some even emanating three inches of Divine Thought Light.
Such a lineup was impressive enough to take even him by surprise; he couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. The rapid development of Heavenly Dao Academy was staggering—how could they have gathered so many exceptional talents all at once?
In contrast, Stellar Academy seemed rather desolate.
Just then, a sudden chill ran through the Grand Elder as he sensed an overwhelming and terrifying aura erupting from behind two Flying Ships. It surged toward them like an impending volcanic eruption, carrying with it waves of destructive flames.
This powerful aura sent shivers through everyone present; they instinctively turned to look through the clouds.
At the edge of the horizon, a brilliant firelight streaked across the sky—a figure enveloped in flames was racing toward them at an incredible speed, nearly rivaling that of a Shenzong.
As the Grand Elder and the disciples from Stellar Academy were stunned by this sudden terrifying presence, that figure bathed in fire had already soared like a meteor across the sky, arriving in an instant above both Flying Ships with an unmatched sense of oppression.
With arms crossed over his chest and a stern expression on his face, his eyes sparkled with a disdainful brilliance as if he controlled everything around him.
The younger generation from Stellar Academy felt an unprecedented fear and awe wash over them upon sensing this aura. Though they too were Peak Grandmasters, before this man named Yan Jun, they felt as insignificant as ants—lacking even the courage to meet his gaze.
This man was simply too powerful; it seemed as though he was born for battle.
"Lord Yan Jun." The disciples from Heavenly Dao Academy bowed deeply upon seeing him, their demeanor reverent as if worshipping an exalted elder.
"Where is Su Chen?"
As soon as Yan Jun appeared, his target was clearly Su Chen.
Seeing that the other party directly called out his name, Su Chen maintained a calm expression and replied, "It's me. What do you want?"
Yan Jun smirked with a cold, meaningful smile, his eyes filled with disdain. "A mere Second Star Grandmaster, Chen Hai. You are becoming more and more useless. To deal with such ants, you actually need to trouble me to take action personally?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Hai's face was filled with bitterness as he hurriedly explained, "Lord Yan Jun, you may not know this, but although this person is only a Second Star Grandmaster, his strength should not be underestimated. Even a strong practitioner from the Zhun Shenzong might not be able to secure a guaranteed victory."
