Chapter 2470 - 2570: Qi Aura, Fighting to the Death! (Second Update)

Chapter 2470: Chapter 2570: Qi Aura, Fighting to the Death! (Second Update)

The Emperor’s Profound Crystal really is the Supreme Treasure among Supreme Treasures.

The fact that Huang Zhi lets him use it multiple times is indeed treating him quite well.

Right now, toward Huang Zhi, he truly has developed a bit of sincere, heartfelt desire to serve.

Shang Getian held the Emperor’s Profound Crystal in his hand and retreated with utmost respect.

Besides, even if his Strength is skyrocketing and stirs up some ambition in the depths of his heart, he still wouldn’t dare!

He has improved a lot.

But what about Huang Zhi?

Now, in these past two days, it seems he’s broken through again...

Fourth Level of the Four Directions Ultimate Realm!

How terrifying can one person get?

What’s more, he can feel that Huang Zhi’s actual Combat Power is far more terrifying than his Realm would suggest.

Even if you lent him ten extra lives, at least right now, he still wouldn’t dare have the slightest trace of ambition or disloyalty.

"Young Master is just... just too terrifying." Shang Getian thought to himself, feeling more and more that Huang Zhi is an Abyss like the sea, unfathomable.

With respect pushed to the extreme, he withdrew from the Saint Origin Pavilion.

He had just walked out of the Saint Origin Pavilion.

"Brother Shang!!!"

A chorus of voices, in perfect unison and full of respect.

They were all students of the Heavenly Saint Academy and the Ancient Holy Academy.

All of them were waiting outside the Saint Origin Pavilion.

They had no qualification to meet Huang Zhi.

But they weren’t blind.

In the past few hundred years, Shang Getian went from a low-to-mid Rank newcomer who had only just arrived at the Saint Academy from the Heavenly Saint Academy, to someone who climbed day by day, shocking everyone with his Heaven-ascending progress...

In just a few hundred years, he grew to the Ninth Level of the Origin Emperor Extreme Realm, second in the Saint Academy only to Huang Zhi and Qu Mu.

Who granted him all this?

Naturally, Huang Zhi.

No one here is an idiot.

They all want to imitate him.

Unfortunately, Huang Zhi only needs one dog.

He doesn’t need them at all.

They came too late—their chance to even eat shit has already passed.

All they can do is lower their sights and go be dogs for Shang Getian.

Nowadays, within the Saint Academy, Shang Getian can be said to call the wind and summon the rain.

Under normal circumstances, the three Grand Elders almost never show themselves.

Those first-generation elders, second-generation elders, and the first-generation stewards and the like—right now, their prestige in the Saint Academy doesn’t even match his.

Huang Zhi loves martial arts cultivation and almost never leaves the Saint Origin Pavilion.

Qu Mu goes without saying—after seemingly losing to Huang Zhi back in the day and taking a massive blow, he has been in Secluded Cultivation for these past few hundred years.

So at this stage, throughout the entire Saint Academy, Shang Getian is pretty much the sole authority.

Shang Getian greatly enjoys this feeling!!!

He really enjoys it.

"Brother Shang, does Senior Brother Huang have any decrees?"

"Brother Shang, is there anything Senior Brother Huang needs us to do?"

...

From the huge crowd of students, two figures walked forward.

One wore a black embroidered night suit, the other a white long robe.

One used a Longsword.

One used a Dagger.

Their auras both carried that extreme, razor-sharp edge.

Wee Mu and Yu Jiu.

These two were certainly no small fry.

They were existences ranked in the top ten of the Ancient Saint Ranking.

Back then, before Su Chen, Huang Zhi, and Shang Getian suddenly rose to prominence, these two held extremely high status in the Saint Academy.

Right now, both of them were at the Third Level of the Origin Emperor Extreme Realm.

A very good Realm indeed.

Of course, compared to Shang Getian now, they still fell far short—Shang Getian was at the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Origin Emperor Extreme Realm.

These two, in fact, had long been top-ten on the Ancient Saint Ranking, so their pride was understandable.

At first, not to mention toward Shang Getian—even toward Huang Zhi, they weren’t particularly reverent.

Fortunately, later on, one day when Huang Zhi came out of Secluded Cultivation, he took a stroll around the Saint Academy and just so happened to encounter these two.

He casually inflicted grievous wounds on them, almost killing them!!!

Then he threw them down at the foot of the Holy Mountain like dead dogs...

For a full ten days, no one dared go save them.

When they were on the brink of death, Huang Zhi sent a Heaven-reaching Sound Transmission: From today on, the two of you will follow Shang Getian.

After that incident, the two were scared out of their wits.

They obediently stuck to Shang Getian’s side, assisting him. Although, at the beginning, they felt an extreme sense of humiliation and frustration in their hearts—after all, back then they were more than ten thousand times stronger than Shang Getian.

But over these few hundred years...

Shang Getian’s growth was like riding a rocket, and he had already caught up and surpassed them.

Now, the two of them basically assist Shang Getian with genuine respect from the bottom of their hearts.

They have even learned how to flatter.

They can be counted as Shang Getian’s dogs as well.

Shang Getian, for his part, knew how to handle people. Of the rewards he received from Huang Zhi, he gave a small portion to the two of them.

This was also the reason why the two had made similarly decent progress over the last few hundred years.

"You don’t need to do anything. All of you, get lost. Take people to the Holy Sea and capture Nine Heavens Profound Crocodiles. This Crown Prince wants to eat Crocodile Soup." Shang Getian said casually. There was innate authority in his voice; when he wasn’t in front of Huang Zhi, his bearing was that of an emperor!!!

After all, he was a cultivator of the Imperial Path.

And he was also the Crown Prince of the Great Shang Dynasty.

His presence can be imagined.

"Yes." Yu Jiu and Wee Mu nodded heavily, though in their hearts they were helpless.

Shang Getian really was...

Far too picky.

Ever since trying Crocodile Soup made from Nine Heavens Profound Crocodile once back then, he’d fallen in love with it.

The soup itself wasn’t hard to make, but Nine Heavens Profound Crocodiles were extremely rare—and extremely fierce!!!

There were indeed some in the Holy Sea that connected to the Holy Mountain, but they were hard to capture.

The Holy Sea was the main battlefield of the Nine Heavens Profound Crocodiles.

Nine Heavens Profound Crocodiles were Ancient Relic Species, with extremely strong Strength.

Every time they went to capture Nine Heavens Profound Crocodiles, the two of them had to personally lead more than ten people from the top hundred of the Ancient Saint Ranking, going together to capture them with combined effort.

Most of the time, there were casualties.

For Shang Getian to eat Crocodile Soup once, the cost was truly enormous!

But Shang Getian insisted on eating it.

What could they do?

They could only comply.

Risking their lives to comply.

"All of you, get lost now. This emperor is going back to Ge Tian Palace for Secluded Cultivation. If it’s not a big matter, don’t bother this emperor." Shang Getian waved his hand carelessly, his voice deep as an Abyss. He already carried three-tenths of Huang Zhi’s aura.

"Yes!" Wee Mu, Yu Jiu, and the vast crowd of students from the Heavenly Saint Academy and Ancient Holy Academy were about to leave.

"Wait." Shang Getian suddenly thought of something: "Nan Yunyi is still in the Saint Academy, right?"

Nan Yunyi.

She was Su Chen’s little Maid.

She had also entered the Saint Academy for quite some time.

After his Strength skyrocketed, he started setting his sights on Nan Yunyi.

After all, Nan Yunyi was Su Chen’s beloved little Maid. If he were to get his hands on Nan Yunyi, Su Chen would be heartbroken? Furious, right? That would definitely be a very satisfying form of revenge!

So, once the thought occurred, he acted. He had once dispatched several powerful female disciples from the Ancient Holy Academy to Nan Yunyi’s cave abode, intending to forcibly capture her. Although they couldn’t enter the cave abode, there were always methods like setting fires and making smoke at the entrance to force Nan Yunyi out.

Nan Yunyi wasn’t like Feng Yinqing. Feng Yinqing had once been Huang Zhi’s fiancée. Frankly speaking, aside from Huang Zhi himself, others going to the cave abode door to curse and humiliate her was one thing, but they really didn’t dare forcibly drive Feng Yinqing out of her cave abode, seize her, and so on... After all, as a former fiancée, she might still hold some small place in Huang Zhi’s heart...

Nan Yunyi, however—capturing her, taking her, even killing her—was all fine.

Unfortunately.

Those female disciples from the Ancient Holy Academy sent by Shang Getian to seize her didn’t succeed.

At the critical moment...

The three Grand Elders spoke up, protecting Nan Yunyi so that she remained completely safe and unharmed.

This drove Shang Getian into a rage!!!

He knew exactly why the three Grand Elders protected Nan Yunyi. It was simple: Nan Yunyi was Su Chen’s Maid. This showed that the three Grand Elders still hadn’t completely given up on Su Chen...

For this past hundred years...

Shang Getian no longer dared send female disciples to try to capture Nan Yunyi.

But he still sent female disciples to remain in front of Nan Yunyi’s cave abode, keeping watch.

Keeping track of her movements.

At the very least, making sure Nan Yunyi didn’t run away.
