Di Cang was gravely wounded when Xiao Tianyu appeared and told him that in a world where martial arts reign supreme, one need not adhere so strictly to promises.
However, Xiao Tianyu's appearance inevitably drew a lot of attention.
At the birthday banquet of Shangguan Biyue at the Celestial Universe International Hotel, Xiao Tianyu disregarded the backgrounds of the disciples from various institutes and killed them directly. Among them were Fang Hua from Jiuxian Academy and Yan Tong from the Celestial Demon Academy...
Not only that, when he was at the Long Family, the powerful figures from the Four Great Institutes came to demand justice, but what was the result? They were similarly swept away by Xiao Tianyu, causing the Four Great Institutes to suffer great losses.
Now, as the Four Great Institutes came today, aside from dealing with Ye Qingcheng, they also demanded Emperor Star Academy hand over the Saint Child, Xiao Tianyu.
But then again, is Xiao Tianyu truly the Saint Child of Emperor Star Academy?
Naturally not; it's merely speculation, but no wonder. For someone as young as Xiao Tianyu, what else could he be if not the Saint Child? It's unimaginable to think he is actually the highest Execution Officer of Emperor Star Academy.
At this moment, Xiao Tianyu stood there with a detached expression, his eyes as calm as ever, as if he didn't care that the Four Great Institutes were jointly pressuring Emperor Star Academy to hand him over.
Today, Di Cang, with his strength alone, turned the tide. If not for his injuries, he wouldn't even bother standing here, facing the world.
After Di Cang left the battle stage, the eyes of Duan Qingcheng, Peng Wanli, and the experts from the Celestial Demon Academy all fell on Xiao Tianyu, the chill in their gaze already spoke volumes.
Tonight, as the Four Great Institutes descended upon Emperor Star Academy, Di Cang first executed Nie Shengyun, and now that Xiao Tianyu appears, they intend to take him to the Four Great Institutes for questioning. Even if Emperor Star Academy's highest Execution Officer intervenes, they do not fear, as they too have the support of their Deans.
"It was merely a spar, yet your Emperor Star Academy's Dean, Di Cang, went to the extreme of executing our Heaven Slayer Academy's Nie Shengyun, violating the rules!"
At this moment, a voice from the Heaven Slayer Academy's side rang out, drawing everyone's gaze. They saw a young man looking at Xiao Tianyu, continuing, "As the Saint Child of Emperor Star Academy, it's normal for you to take a stand for your academy, but members of our Four Great Institutes have perished by your hands. So, it's fitting to take you to the Four Great Institutes for questioning!"
This young man spoke with an impressive presence, yet a faint arrogance in his eyes made many people speculate about who he was. From the moment the Heaven Slayer Academy's people arrived, they had subtly treated him as their leader.
"Saint Child, since another from our Heaven Slayer Academy has died by Emperor Star's hand, let me handle this battle!" said an old man beside the young man.
As these words fell, everyone was taken aback with fear.
"Saint Child?"
"Could the young man who just spoke be the Saint Child of Heaven Slayer Academy? No wonder he has such an outstanding presence!"
"Unexpectedly, the Saint Child of Heaven Slayer Academy has descended as well. What about the other three institutes? Have their Saint Children also come, representing their Deans? If so, how strong are these Saint Children from the Four Great Institutes, and will there be collisions?"
"Since the Saint Child Xiao Tianyu of Emperor Star Academy is a Saint Heaven Realm expert, then what about the strength of the Four Great Institutes' Saint Children? Are they at the Celestial Level Realm, or the Saint Heaven Realm?"
"It seems it's getting more interesting!"
"..."
Voices continued to emerge from the crowd, as the Saint Children of the Four Great Institutes were extremely mysterious. If it weren't for today's coronation of Ye Qingcheng as the Saint, these Saint Child figures might not have appeared.
Indeed, the young man who just spoke was the Saint Child of the Heaven Slayer Academy, Lei Shi.
At this moment, Lei Shi spoke to the old man beside him, "As a Saint Child yourself, would you not tarnish the Heaven Slayer Academy's reputation by entering the battle? Therefore, let me handle this!"
Since that's the case, let me handle this battle.
Though the voice was indifferent, it was nonetheless shocking; this was Heaven Slayer Academy's Saint Child, showing true dominance. Could it be that despite his youth, he's truly a Saint Heaven Realm expert? If so, what would be the outcome of his battle with Xiao Tianyu?
However, since the Saint Child of Heaven Slayer Academy has appeared, then what about Jiuxian Academy, Bright Divine Sect, and the Celestial Demon Academy's Saint Children? Are they also here?
Soon enough, many eyes scanned the direction of the Four Great Institutes, seemingly in search of the Saint Children, yet a young man from Bright Divine Sect sat calmly, surrounded by over a dozen Strong from the sect.
But this person had a calm gaze, with no aura emanating from him, making it impossible to discern anything.
If nothing could be discerned, there were two possibilities: First, this person's cultivation was unfathomably deep; second, this person had no cultivation at all.
But could someone from the Bright Divine Sect be without cultivation?
"In that case, count me in!" At this moment, someone from Jiuxian Academy spoke, and all eyes turned to see a young figure emerge from the crowd, leaving many puzzled as they hadn't noticed this person's presence before.
But where did this person come from?
"It's getting hotter, isn't it!"
Before the voice had even fallen, a voice from the vast sky arrived. Soon, a young man led several figures as they walked on air toward Emperor Star Academy.
"It's the Demon Child of the Celestial Demon Academy, Mo Feng; I once saw him from afar!"
"Demon Child?"
"Indeed!"
"..."
With eyes cast to the sky, the demonic energy around Mo Feng was boundless, his oppressive might was as vast as an incarnation of the Hell Demon King, and the magic power in his pupils seemed as if it could cause one to fall into ruin with just a glance.
Very soon, under everyone's gaze, Mo Feng and the Celestial Demon Academy's people slowly descended toward the academy, and in an instant, all members of the academy began to salute, addressing Mo Feng: "Demon Child!"
Demon Child, a Saint Child in different terms.
Hearing this, Mo Feng waved his hand and glanced at the other four Great Institutes, saying, "It seems all the Saint Children have arrived; only I was missing. Indeed, it's lively!"
"What, Brother Mo also wants to battle the Saint Child of Emperor Star Academy?" asked Lei Shi.
"Just here to watch!" Mo Feng said indifferently. "I heard your words on the way; you want to fight Xiao Tianyu of Emperor Star Academy. How could I steal your spotlight?"
It was as if the arrival of all the Saint Children resulted in overlooking Xiao Tianyu on the battle stage, yet Xiao Tianyu himself did not seem to mind.
"Very well!" Lei Shi nodded. His figure flashed as he flew towards the battle stage, the might of the Saint Heaven Realm descending like a mountain upon Xiao Tianyu.
Then, he spoke to Ye Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, this man is unworthy of you. If you join Heaven Slayer Academy, I promise you'll have a brighter future than at Emperor Star!"
