C18 Entering Inner Court
The cry of a phoenix shook the heavens!
Feng Yunxiao's expression changed all of a sudden as a hint of fear appeared in the depths of his eyes.
A dazzling divine bird appeared behind Xiao Chen. The divine bird was bathed in flames and had a body covered in multicolored wings. It appeared very luxurious. Its feet were filled with raging flames and the nine tail feathers had a faint purplish-gold flame encircling them; it was incredibly brilliant.
Everyone was shocked.
"Divine Phoenix!"
At this moment, the face of the inner courtyard disciple turned incomparably shocked. There was even a hint of envy and fanaticism in his eyes. This technique of Xiao Chen's was even more tyrannical than Feng Yunxiao's Prison Trembling Scripture. Xiao Chen actually possessed the Phoenix Divine Beast's cultivation method. They could feel the pressure from the divine beast from far away.
Murong Qianer's beautiful eyes flickered with flowing light.
"It really is the Divine Phoenix …"
Feng Yunxiao had berserk beasts that shook the prison, but Xiao Chen had a Divine Phoenix and Phoenix.
From a certain point of view, Xiao Chen definitely had an overwhelming advantage. The Phoenix bloodline had been born since the prehistoric era, and it was far older than the prison shaking. What Xiao Chen used was the bloodline's power while Feng Yunxiao used a cultivation technique.
There was simply no way to compare the power of the two at all.
"Bang!"
The phoenix's eyes flickered with a sacred light as flames spouted from its mouth. It instantly surrounded the prison and it let out a painful howl before burning into nothingness.
Instant kill!
Feng Yunxiao spat out blood, his body on the verge of collapse.
The battle was almost over.
Seeing Feng Yunxiao on the ground, everyone cried out in alarm.
Xiao Chen won.
The phoenix transformed into a profound light that concealed itself within Xiao Chen's body before walking over to Feng Yunxiao.
"I said I would kill you!"
Sensing the coldness from Xiao Chen's voice, Feng Yunxiao's eyes finally revealed the fear of death, and his face turned pale white.
"Don't kill me!"
Xiao Chen smiled coldly, "But you wanted to kill me earlier. I will not leave any hidden dangers for myself." As he said that, he struck out with his palm, and the violent energy instantly imprinted itself onto Feng Yunxiao's chest.
A mouthful of fresh blood escaped from his mouth, along with bits and pieces of his internal organs.
He slowly fell to the ground and died with grievance.
His eyes were filled with fear and unwillingness.
The entire audience was silent.
When they saw that Xiao Chen was going to challenge an inner court disciple, Feng Yunxiao, they all thought that Xiao Chen was dead for sure. However, Xiao Chen was standing there unharmed while Feng Yunxiao was dead.
Everyone was shocked speechless by Xiao Chen's strength.
Worship flashed across his eyes.
The speed of Xiao Chen's rise was too fast. After he was sent to the hospital, he used his fifth level of Congenital Realm to defeat Zhou Ze, who was at the eighth level of the Congenital Realm, and then killed Feng Yunxiang, who was at the ninth level of the Congenital Realm.
Such an achievement caused countless outer court disciples to be unable to catch up.
Even the disciples of the inner courtyard felt that Xiao Chen was very strong!
There was a faint sense of danger.
When he saw Xiao Chen's expression, his initial disdain turned into shock.
With Xiao Chen's talent, if he entered the Inner Academy, he would definitely leave a brilliant mark on the Azure Phoenix Ranking.
Xiao Chen jumped off the platform and arrived in front of Murong Qianer. He smiled, "Senior Sister Qian'Er, I did not lose face for you, right? I came back well and well."
Murong Qianer gave Xiao Chen a hammer, "Hmph, consider yourself to have passed." What Xiao Chen did not know was that Murong Qianer almost rushed up to bring him down. However, she endured it because she somehow believed Xiao Chen.
After that, Xiao Chen said to Lin Ning, "Lin Ning, I have avenged Brother Lin and Brother Shi. From today onwards, there will no longer be anyone looking for trouble with you two."
"Yes, yes." Lin Ning nodded heavily with reddened eyes.
At the same time, a rushing wind sound rang out. An old man with white hair suddenly arrived. When he saw this old man, the students of the Inner Academy were startled.
"Greetings, Principal!"
The outer court students also trembled and bowed. Zhan Yu smiled and nodded his head, then looked at Xiao Chen, who was beside him, and asked: "You are Xiao Chen, right?"
Xiao Chen was startled for a moment before he nodded his head.
"Outer court disciple, Xiao Chen, greets the Headmaster."
Zhan Yu looked at Feng Yunxiao's body on the stage. His eyes were startled, and then he asked: "You were the one who killed Feng Yunxiao?" There was no sound of anger or joy, which made Murong Qianer, who was at the side, feel worried.
Xiao Chen nodded his head and said, "That's right."
Zhan Yu looked at Xiao Chen, but did not say anything. Time seemed to have stopped. Everyone was looking at Xiao Chen and Zhan Yu, and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Lin Ning gritted his teeth and walked over to Xiao Chen. He said to Zhan Yu, "Dean, Xiao Chen killed Feng Yunxiao in order to avenge my big brother and Brother Shi. If he wants to punish you, punish me."
Zhan Yu could not help but smile, "When did I say I want to punish him?"
"Then …" Lin Ning was a little confused.
Murong Qianer, on the other hand, relaxed.
Zhan Yu looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Xiao Chen, are you willing to enter the inner courtyard?!"
"Hua!"
The entire audience went into an uproar!
Xiao Chen was actually recruited into the inner courtyard by the Headmaster himself. This was probably the first time this had happened.
Such honor could only be found by chance!
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Yes."
"How is your base level?" Zhan Yu asked.
Xiao Chen said, "Early stage of the Ninth Heaven."
Shock flashed across Zhan Yu's eyes. He knew that Feng Yunxiao had the strength of a Heavenly Core warrior at the first stage of the Heavenly Core realm. Xiao Chen was actually able to kill him at the ninth stage of the Congenital Realm.
Appreciation swept past Zhan Yu's eyes.
After nodding his head, he looked at the disciples of the Inner Academy and slowly said, "All disciples of the Inner Academy should immediately return to the Inner Academy." Then, he looked towards Murong Qianer and Xiao Chen, "The two of you follow me."
"Yes." Xiao Chen and Murong Qianer nodded.
Before he left, Xiao Chen said to Lin Ning, "Lin Ning, I want to go to the Inner Academy. I do not have the time to see Brother Lin and Brother Shi, so I told them that I will come visit you when I have time.
"Yes, we will." Lin Ning nodded.
The inner courtyard, the Blue Phoenix Academy, was far larger and more exquisite than the outer courtyard. This was Xiao Chen's first feeling, because Murong Qianer was by her side. Xiao Chen did not feel bored on the way. The two of them followed behind Zhan Yu and arrived at a glorious plaza.
At this moment, there were over a hundred inner court disciples in the plaza. What entered his vision was a tall platform with a huge stone tablet that was about ten meters tall. The stone tablet was carved with dragons and phoenixes.
Blue Phoenix Ranking!
"So this is the Blue Phoenix Ranking …" Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he looked at the Azure Phoenix Ranking in front of him; his heart was filled with boundless shock.
Zhan Yu glanced at it, then waved his hand. A wave of extremely powerful might erased the position of the twenty-third place on the Blue Phoenix Ranking, and carved it back in.
The twenty-third rank on the Azure Phoenix Board, Xiao Chen, was at the middle stage of the ninth level of the Congenital Realm!
Xiao Chen opened his eyes wide.
had actually already stepped into the Blue Phoenix Ranking, and replaced Feng Yunxiao's original position.
Xiao Chen took a look at the Blue Phoenix Ranking, and his heart could not help but tremble violently.
Number one on the Blue Phoenix Ranking, Su Chentian, at the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly Core realm!
Second on the Blue Phoenix Ranking, Luo Chenyu, at the early ninth level of the Heavenly Core realm!
The third on the Blue Phoenix Ranking, Mo Xiuya, the early eighth level of the Heavenly Core realm!
Fourth on the Blue Phoenix Ranking, Murong Qianer, in the middle of the seventh level of the Heavenly Core realm!
...
Murong Qianer was actually ranked fourth!
Heavenly Core seventh stage middle stage!
After that, Xiao Chen continued to read. Those who were able to rank in the top fifty of the Blue Phoenix Ranking were all at the Heavenly Core realm, and he himself was the only exception.
Xiao Chen could not help but smile bitterly as he looked at Murong Qianer and said, "Senior Sister Murong, is my position a little dangerous?!"
Murong Qianer smiled and nodded, "A little."
