Hiss!
Duan Tiande, the two other middle-aged men, and the two hundred-plus young people from the Southern Frontier were all struck with shock and sucked in a breath of cold air.
An Early Stage Saint Realm cultivator, with a single, palm strike across space, had sent an Early Stage True Manifestation Realm expert flying!
It was exactly like casually swatting a fly. No difference whatsoever.
It was utterly, incredibly unbelievable!
"This kid..."
Even Yang Chen and Yan Qian couldn't help but shake their heads and smile wryly.
The thirty-plus young people from the Eastern Region also looked at Ye Yunfei with gazes full of awe.
At this moment, Zhu Tianhua lay inside a deep pit in the distance, covered in blood, completely motionless, with no indication if he was dead or alive.
"You...!"
Duan Tiande glared at Ye Yunfei, unable to speak.
"He isn't dead yet," Ye Yunfei said blandly.
"Hahaha... Duan Tiande, I wasn't wrong, was I?
Numbers don't necessarily represent talent!
Well, are you convinced now!"
Yang Chen and Yan Qian both laughed heartily, feeling extremely satisfied.
They looked at Ye Yunfei with immense appreciation and fondness in their hearts, feeling that he had won them a great deal of face.
Duan Tiande and the two other men were filled with stifling resentment but had no words to refute, their faces ashen.
"Hmph!"
Finally, they flicked their sleeves and stalked off to the other side of the plaza to sulk in silence.
"Haha, I didn't expect the young geniuses from the Eastern Region and Southern Frontier would have arrived early."
A voice rang out from afar. Then, a massive airship came soaring over from a distance, landing swiftly on the plaza.
An old man and a middle-aged man then stepped down from the ship, leading over a hundred young people.
These over one hundred youths all had resolute gazes and a wild, combative aura.
"They are the new students from the Western Plains," Yang Chen said softly.
Boom!
Right at this moment, a series of loud noises sounded as an airship carved with a fierce bear head tore through the air and landed on the plaza.
On the ship were two middle-aged men leading over eighty sturdy young people, broad-shouldered and powerful.
Even the women among them were exceptionally tall and robust, seemingly brimming with terrifying strength.
"The young geniuses from the Northern Wastelands are here," Yang Chen said in a low voice again.
Boom boom...
Suddenly, from the horizon, ten thousand shafts of auspicious light shimmered, auspicious energy surged, and multi-colored clouds bloomed.
A three-storied, opulent pleasure ship, riding the wind, came into view!
In the blink of an eye, the pleasure ship landed on the plaza.
Then, over six hundred young geniuses filed down from the ship one after another.
Each one had a distinguished bearing and extraordinary aura, radiating an air of extreme nobility.
These youths all seemed to regard themselves as a cut above the rest. Their occasional glances swept over the young geniuses from the other four regions, full of disdain.
Their eyes brimmed with a sense of superiority, like imperial envoys arriving in the countryside and bumping into country bumpkins.
The young geniuses of the Central Continent had arrived!
"I heard the Eastern Region, Southern Frontier, Western Plains, and Northern Wastelands were all lacking in talent and declining in strength. Seeing it today proves it's true.
It seems the future of Tianxuan Continent will have to rely on our Central Continent's younger generation to shoulder the burden."
A youth in white, hands clasped behind his back, descended from the pleasure ship step by step, treading through the air as if a prince or duke on inspection, his aura luxurious and imposing.
Several tens of young people, their attitudes respectful, followed close behind.
Obviously, this youth in white was definitely a monstrous genius of formidable stature in the Central Continent.
The young people from the other four regions felt indignant upon hearing this.
"That guy is way too full of himself," a brawny, bronze-skinned young man from the Western Plains contingent couldn't help but mutter.
"Hm?"
The youth in white's gaze immediately locked onto him, sharp as a blade.
Ah!
The brawny young man cried out as if struck by an invisible bolt of lightning, staggering back several steps before falling heavily onto his rear. Blood even began to seep from the corner of his mouth!
Hiss!
The sound of sharp intakes of cold air echoed across the grounds.
The young people from each region all looked at the youth in white with eyes full of fear.
A mere glance could injure someone—that was simply too exaggerated.
Of course, many people guessed that the youth in white had likely utilized some sort of soul-force martial skill.
"Haha, an ignorant ant who doesn't know his place dares to offend Senior Brother Fengyun. He's just asking for trouble."
"Senior Brother Fengyun is one of the absolute top monstrous talents of our Central Continent's younger generation. He's not someone just any stray cat or dog can defy!"
...
The several tens of young people surrounding the youth in white began to sneer and mock.
Ye Yunfei saw clearly that the youth in white had indeed employed a soul-force martial skill.
However, in Ye Yunfei's eyes, the soul-force martial skill wielded by the youth in white seemed childishly simple. Compared to Mind Spawns Demon, it was in a completely different league.
Just then.
"Is everyone here?
We've troubled you venerable Venerable Ones.
Next, hand these new students over to me."
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
On the plaza, unnoticed, a rather ordinary-looking old man had appeared.
This elder, about sixty years old, seemed completely average. He didn't release any spiritual pressure, giving people the impression that he was no different from an ordinary old man who practiced no martial arts at all.
"Then, we'll trouble you, Elder Ma."
All the Venerable Ones on the plaza immediately and respectfully spoke in unison upon seeing this elder.
"Everyone, from now on, follow Elder Ma's arrangements.
I wish you all that you can fully show your capabilities within Hudao Academy."
Yang Chen turned his head and spoke to the thirty-nine youths from the Eastern Region.
"Ye Yunfei, we will also be within Hudao Academy from now on. If you need any help, you can come find us."
Yang Chen's gaze shifted to Ye Yunfei, looking quite enthusiastic.
"That's right.
Even if nothing's wrong, you can come find us just to hang out."
Yan Qian also looked at Ye Yunfei, smiling as he spoke.
The two of them knew that with Ye Yunfei's strength and talent, his future prospects were limitless.
It would never be wrong to befriend a genius of this caliber.
"Alright.
Thank you for the kind thought."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
These two Venerable Ones had personally issued protective orders for Tianyuan Sect and Ye Family members. Hence, Ye Yunfei held a favorable impression of them.
"Haha, then we'll take our leave."
Yang Chen and Yan Qian were quite satisfied with Ye Yunfei's attitude and left the plaza with hearty laughter.
The other Venerable Ones also left one after another.
On the plaza, only Elder Ma and over a thousand new students remained.
"Everyone, welcome to Hudao Academy.
I hope you will cultivate diligently in the future and bring glory to our academy."
Elder Ma spoke.
"The academy has prepared a dedicated area for you new students.
Each student will be assigned a small courtyard. That will be your place for cultivation and residence henceforth.
Remember, each small courtyard has already been assigned to a specific individual. Their doors bear your names. Don't enter the wrong one.
Additionally, I will now send all the academy rules and regulations to your identity tokens.
Take the time to read them in detail."
Elder Ma continued.
Then, he took out a communication jade slip and sent a message to every single new student.
"These are the cultivation resources allocated to you by the academy.
Take them.
Then, go find your own residences and get settled."
After finishing his words, Elder Ma waved his hand, and over a thousand interspatial rings flew out, landing precisely in front of each of the over thousand new students.
