Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 778 - 779: The Five Academies Gather

Even though Ye Qingcheng possesses the Cold Jade Saint Body, she couldn't help but shiver. Such domineering Cold Ice True Qi.

Subsequently, Ye Qingcheng opened the book, but upon doing so, she was utterly astonished—A Saint Celestial Technique, "Cold Ice Technique."

It seems my master has ulterior motives! Ye Qingcheng pondered secretly, clearly understanding that the principal brought her here to guide her in cultivating the Cold Ice Technique. With Ye Qingcheng's unique physique, this technique is one of the easiest for her to cultivate.

Of course, if it were someone else, they might never have the qualification to cultivate such a technique in their lifetime. Ye Qingcheng, being naturally attuned to such cold arts due to her Cold Jade Saint Body, is an exception.

Moreover, with her exceptional talent, cultivating it would yield twice the results with half the effort.

...

The next morning.

Today, Emperor Star Academy undoubtedly greeted the most sensational scene in recent years.

At this moment, the vast martial arts field of Emperor Star Academy was packed with crowds, forming an unbroken sea of people, covering all the grounds and buildings of the academy.

For how many years has Emperor Star Academy experienced such a commotion? Today, the academy is creating a Saint; who wouldn't wish to witness the grace of the Saintess?

What's more, the person being sanctified is none other than Ye Qingcheng, one of the three goddesses of the Imperial Capital?

Whirring sounds~

The wind howled as a group of middle-aged figures emerged from the endless void, majestic and boundless, each exuding an extraordinary aura, clearly indicating they were formidable.

"They are the mighty ones from Jiuxian Academy!"

The crowd around the martial arts field was in an uproar, all eyes turned towards the void, as someone exclaimed, "My goodness, the powerful ones from Jiuxian Academy have arrived. Surely, something is bound to happen with the sanctification!"

"Who can deny it? Look at those characters—each one is top-tier from the Imperial Capital, especially that young one leading them, so young and definitely the Saint Child of Jiuxian Academy!"

"..."

The presence of Jiuxian Academy's people here indicates clearly that they are not just here for the sanctification, otherwise, they wouldn't deploy such a force.

"The ones from Jiuxian Academy pay respects to the principal of Emperor Star Academy!"

At this moment, a voice resounded from the void, trembling everyone's eardrums, giving the impression that just one voice could shake the heavens.

"You're welcome!"

A voice came from Emperor Star Hall, and soon, the principal, Di Cang, along with various elders of Emperor Star Academy, arrived in the void, and their aura was equally terrifying, not at all weaker than that of Jiuxian Academy's mighty ones.

"Thank you, Principal Di!" The people from Jiuxian Academy descended from the void onto a grand hall and then took their seats one by one.

Soon after Jiuxian Academy's arrival, terrifying auras descended from the void once again, and the crowd looked up to see a Great Demon traversing across the sky, carrying a group of people on its back, exuding equally frightening auras.

"Heaven Slayer Academy!"

Someone exclaimed, "People from Heaven Slayer Academy have come too. There will certainly be a storm today with the sanctification at Emperor Star!"

"Celestial Demon Academy also has arrived with powerful beings!"

"And from the west, they should be from the Bright Divine Sect!"

Rapidly, eyes turned to the west where another group traversed the void, led by an extraordinarily handsome young man, whose presence felt unparalleled, as if born a king.

Who might this young man be?

No one knows, but it seemed as if one gaze could see through everything.

With the arrival of the four academies, various clans from the Imperial Capital, including the Gongsun Family, Zhan Family, Li Family, and other powerful families, had also arrived in succession.

"Since everyone is here to witness the sanctification at Emperor Star Academy, please take your seats!" Principal Di Cang's voice was imposing. Regardless of any discord between Emperor Star Academy and other academies, the attendees were guests as they had sent delegates to visit.

The courteous conduct is expected before any conflict arises, after all.

"Principal Di, you are too kind!" A mighty figure from Jiuxian Academy spoke, "Recently, we heard that Emperor Star Academy accepted an extraordinarily talented individual named Ye Qingcheng, who is reputed to have the Chosen Body. This must be true, or else why would Emperor Star Academy create such a spectacle? Am I right, Principal Di?"

Upon hearing this, Di Cang frowned, clearly perceiving the underlying implication in the words.

But at this point, Di Cang had nothing more to conceal.

He declared with an imposing voice, "Indeed, Ye Qingcheng is the Chosen Body. Today, the academy's sanctification ceremony is precisely for her. Does Jiuxian Academy still harbor ambitions?"

"Principal Di, what's funny is that we're only here to witness the grand event!" The mighty figure from Jiuxian Academy smiled faintly, but a glimpse of sharpness flickered in his eyes.

The other three academies were undoubtedly harboring their own sinister plots. Di Cang was aware of this, and having chosen the path of sanctification, he wasn't afraid of it being known by others.

Below, amidst a crowd of core disciples.

In the crowd, there emerged a group of stunning women, though on the eve of the coronation, few paid attention to them, yet some still noticed their presence.

"It's Shangguan Biyue and Xiao Ziyan!" Someone spoke up, attracting the gaze of many youths in Emperor Star Academy.

A young man stepped forward, smiling at Shangguan Biyue, "Junior sister, a few days ago was your birthday, and I didn't get to prepare a gift. Please, receive this as a belated present!"

This speaker was none other than Duan Wuchang, a disciple of the three elders.

At the same time, he showed a hint of affection in his gaze, clearly infatuated with Shangguan Biyue's beauty for a long time.

"The birthday has passed, what use is the gift now?" Shangguan Biyue's voice was cool, leaving Duan Wuchang momentarily stunned.

However, Xiao Ziyan smiled gently, "Is this a token of love? Since when did the old disciples of the three academies become so shameless to set their sights on my sister-in-law?"

What is going on?

Sister-in-law?

Upon hearing this, many around were confused. When did one of the three goddesses of the Imperial Capital, Shangguan Biyue, get married? And who is this... illustrious husband among young geniuses?

At this moment, Duan Wuchang looked rather displeased but still laughed heartily, "Junior sister, you really know how to joke!"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Xiao Ziyan rolled her eyes at Duan Wuchang, "Flirting with my sister-in-law, you must be incredibly daring. Don't you know my brother is quite formidable?"

"Biyue, is this true?" Duan Wuchang couldn't believe it.

"Biyue?" Hearing this, Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes coldly looked at Duan Wuchang, "Please address me by my full name. And yes, Ziyan hasn't said anything incorrect—I am indeed her sister-in-law. Please refrain from harassing me in the future, OK!"

With these words, Shangguan Biyue turned her beautiful eyes, glanced at Xiao Ziyan, and then left the crowd.

Seeing this, Duan Wuchang's expression turned uncertain, clearly feeling displeasure within.

"Who would have thought even Senior Brother Duan could be snubbed!" A mocking voice sounded, "A disciple of the esteemed three elders, with such exceptional talent, yet the goddess ignores him; it's quite pathetic!"

"Xiao Qiang, what do you mean by this?" Duan Wuchang snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with coldness.
