Gulp—
In the silent world, someone swallowed hard. The faint sound seemed deafeningly loud at this moment.
Yet all of this could be overlooked, for what was more important now was that everyone looked up at the young and heroic figure high in the sky, their eyes filled with disbelief.
A light slap—without even the slightest trace of Dao marks manifesting—had sent a frenzied Reincarnation-grade Dao Soldier flying, and the berserk Dao weapon had directly returned to a calm state, landing on the ground. Everything was so calm and composed.
It was as if he had casually knocked an ordinary weapon to the ground, with no fearsome destructive force erupting.
All of this stemmed from that young figure who had suddenly made a move.
It was he who had stopped everything from happening.
Everyone was utterly astonished. Such a world-shaking method was probably something even an ordinary Heavenly King would find difficult to achieve.
Just who was this person?
At this moment, some people first stared intently at Ye Chen's handsome face. For some reason, they felt a sense of déjà vu, as if they had seen this man somewhere before.
Unfortunately, many pondered for a long time but couldn't recall. Yet the feeling in their hearts grew increasingly strong.
Soon, however, someone exclaimed, voicing the true name: "The Battle Saint King!"
The moment this title fell, everyone let out an "oh" of sudden realization. No wonder he seemed familiar—it was the Battle Saint King.
After all, given the Battle Saint King's current prominence, his face was known to countless people across the myriad realms.
Yet the instant they realized this, an eerie silence fell over the entire scene. One by one, they widened their eyes to look at the Battle Saint King, then plunged into a peculiar frenzy, the noise becoming overwhelming.
"What? He's the Battle Saint King!?"
"It's actually the Battle Saint King! It's him! He's come to the Dragon Phoenix Academy."
"The Battle Saint King, the number one young generation's supreme of the myriad realms—it's really him! He's here!"
"The invincible Battle Saint King, the strongest Battle Saint King, has graced the Dragon Phoenix Academy with his presence. Unbelievable! Is he going to embark on the Ultimate Ancient Path from here?"
...
With a roar, exclamations rang out incessantly.
Undoubtedly, for the younger generation, the title "Battle Saint King" possessed an unparalleled magic, driving them to madness.
For he represented the status of the number one young generation's supreme in the myriad realms—a result tacitly acknowledged by countless people.
Moreover, a century ago, he had fallen while protecting the Sealed Boundary Universe, achieving immense merit. Three years ago, he had miraculously revived and returned. Everything about him seemed like a mythical tale recorded in the annals of history—so incredible, so awe-inspiring that it commanded the worship of the entire younger generation.
In the current myriad realms, how many among the younger generation could match the Battle Saint King's fame and prestige that shook the world? Even those Emperor's sons could not, nor could those other young supremes!
For even though those individuals were powerful, the Battle Saint King's invincible battle record over the years and his great merit in protecting the Sealed Boundary Universe had, in an intangible way, established him as the number one figure among the younger generation of the myriad realms.
Even the Emperor Clans did not deny this.
Furthermore, three years ago, when it was learned that the Battle Saint King had defied the heavens to revive, he had been persecuted and hindered during his transformation—by a full seven ancient Great Sages.
Yet the Battle Saint King never perished. Although Xia Zhidi and five other ancient Great Sages had returned to assist him, was it not also because he was sufficiently powerful? Not only did he complete his transformation and stand in a realm that all the younger generation had to look up to, but he also forcefully suppressed and killed two ancient Great Sages, frightened off the Ancient Demonic God, and boldly charged into the Undying Sacred Land...
Without a doubt, he possessed an invincible bearing, truly enough to stride proudly through the world. No one could deny his invincibility; the Great Powers of the myriad realms had to tacitly acknowledge his boundless strength.
Naturally, his sudden appearance now also elicited waves of exclamations from the countless Heaven's Pride prodigies of the Dragon Phoenix Academy. For the Battle Saint King was regarded as an idol-like existence by countless members of the younger generation across the myriad realms—a goal to aspire to—and thus he received the worship of many.
Countless young prodigies were overjoyed and filled with fervent admiration.
In their eyes, being able to see the Battle Saint King was a tremendous honor.
"Thank you, Battle Saint King, for intervening and stopping it!"
The two young prodigies who had been sparring earlier also stepped forward excitedly and agitatedly. Especially the Saint prodigy who had used the Reincarnation-grade Dao Soldier—though his Dao weapon had been knocked away and might have suffered some damage, he wasn't the least bit angry. On the contrary, he was very grateful, for it was the Battle Saint King who had saved them. He was a legendary figure worthy of their gratitude.
Ye Chen smiled faintly. "It was just a small effort, hardly worth mentioning."
Yet it was precisely this that made the many Heaven's Pride prodigies of the Dragon Phoenix Academy admire him even more. This was the true demeanor befitting the number one young generation's supreme.
At the same time, news of the Battle Saint King's appearance at the Dragon Phoenix Academy spread rapidly. Not only the many elders and disciples within the academy, but even those out on missions hurried back one after another.
All of this was just to catch a glimpse of the currently prominent Battle Saint King.
This series of scenes made Ye Chen somewhat uncomfortable, but he did not stop it.
Boom—
The heavens and earth trembled as an extremely powerful figure descended. His entire body was wreathed in blazing divine radiance, as if a deity had been reincarnated.
His appearance caused a stir of exclamations among the gathered Heaven's Pride, for they all knew who this man shrouded in divine radiance was: a rising Heaven's Pride prodigy among the new generation—Lun Tianzi.
He was very powerful, belonging to the second batch of Heaven's Pride at the Dragon Phoenix Academy. Rumors said Lun Tianzi possessed True King aptitude and had now reached the peak of the Saint Treasury Realm. He was formidable, a seed-level figure with immense potential.
On another side, an extraordinary carriage came speeding over like the wind, accompanied by dazzling auspicious light shimmering in strands and wisps. From within emerged a young Heaven's Pride no weaker than Lun Tianzi, with distinctive silver hair, making his appearance.
"It's Yin Wang! He's here too."
Boom—
Another hazy figure stood in the void, tall and burly, immensely powerful. He crushed the void, causing it to continuously shatter and collapse—a terrifying and heart-stirring sight that made people tremble.
During this time, one supreme Heaven's Pride prodigy after another from the new generation appeared in succession, all gathering at this very moment.
"Heavens! Five of the Dragon Phoenix Academy's sensations have appeared all at once. Unbelievable."
The various Heaven's Pride were inwardly shaken, for these sensations were usually hard to come by and rarely gathered together. Yet now so many had appeared at once, which was astonishing.
It all seemed intentional!
