On the Training Platform, Shen Qingyue clapped her small hands, as if she had just accomplished something trivial.
She calmly looked at Chen Li, a hint of fatigue on her face. "All done, time to wrap up!"
Chen Li shook his head with a smile, thinking that this girl was a bit too ruthless. Well, they might as well teach them a lesson! "Let's go collect our hard-earned rewards!"
As he spoke, he pulled Shen Qingyue along, gracefully jumping off the Training Platform amidst the astonished and awed gazes of the crowd, heading towards the registration booth.
The area around the registration booth was already crowded with people—those who had placed bets earlier were now staring at their Spirit Coins with regret.
Looking at the mountain of Spirit Coin bags in front of them, Chen Li's eyes lit up with excitement. "Wow, so many Spirit Coins! We're going to get rich!"
Shen Qingyue was also in high spirits, her face breaking into an innocent and joyful smile.
Just as they were about to store the Spirit Coins in their Storage Spirit Bag, an unwelcome voice rang out.
"Hold on!"
Chen Li and Shen Qingyue frowned slightly and turned to see a tall, muscular student in advanced attire striding toward them.
The young man had a stern face and piercing eyes, exuding a powerful aura that was quite oppressive. It was Chen Hao, a genius student from the advanced level who was rumored to have already broken through to the Innate Realm Ninth Level!
Why was he here? Was he looking for trouble? It seemed likely. Chen Hao was the nephew of Wuding Marquis Marquis Chen Yuantu, making him a cousin of both Chen Li and Shen Qingyue by blood.
Unfortunately, Chen Hao cared deeply about his reputation and would hardly be polite to those who had been cast out of the family. This promised to be an interesting scene.
The surrounding students recognized him and began to murmur among themselves, their gazes toward Chen Li and Shen Qingyue filled with schadenfreude.
Chen Hao approached Chen Li, looking down at him with disdain and an air of superiority. "Chen Li, you two siblings really have some nerve to clean out all the students at your level!"
Chen Li rolled his eyes in response, feeling speechless. Who did this guy think he was? Coming over with such an accusatory tone—one might think he had stolen his girlfriend!
"Who are you?" Chen Li asked lazily.
Chen Hao's face stiffened in disbelief at Chen Li's reaction. He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger boiling within him, and coldly said, "I am your cousin, Chen Hao!"
"Cousin?" Chen Li feigned surprise. "Which cousin? I don't remember having a cousin like you."
Veins bulged on Chen Hao's forehead as he gritted his teeth and said, "You—"
"You what?" Chen Li waved his hand impatiently. "If there's nothing else, just go cool off somewhere. Don't waste our time; we still have to celebrate!"
Chen Hao trembled with rage, pointing at Chen Li. After a long pause, he finally spat out, "You won't leave here until you hand over the Spirit Coin!"
Chen Hao's domineering demeanor completely infuriated Shen Qingyue. This girl was no pushover; her brows furrowed as she coldly huffed, "Who let this stray dog claim kinship?"
Before Chen Hao could react, Shen Qingyue elegantly raised her delicate hand. A ball of crimson Spiritual Flame instantly coalesced in her palm, radiating a scorching aura.
"Go!"
Shen Qingyue commanded softly, and the Spiritual Flame transformed into a fiery streak heading straight for Chen Hao's face.
Chen Hao's expression changed drastically. Though arrogant, he wasn't foolish; he could sense the terrifying energy contained within that Spiritual Flame.
In a hurry, he activated his Vital Energy to form a Spirit Shield in front of him.
Boom!
The Spiritual Flame collided with the Spirit Shield, producing a deafening sound. The shockwave from the explosion sent nearby students tumbling to the ground.
Chen Hao let out a muffled groan. Although the Spirit Shield blocked most of the attack, he was still burned on the cheek, leaving behind a charred mark.
Fuming with anger yet too afraid to utter any more threats, he knew well that he was no match for Shen Qingyue. He could only cast a pleading glance toward the higher-ups in the crowd.
"Tian Xiao Elder, you must stand up for me!" Chen Hao lamented with a sorrowful expression. "These Chen Li siblings are disrespectful to their elders and disregard the academy's rules. They even deliberately injured me—this is simply outrageous!"
Duan Tianxiao glanced at Chen Hao's scorched cheek and felt a flicker of excitement in his eyes. He had been looking for an excuse to teach these two miscreants a lesson!
What perfect timing! With this accusation, even if the principal were present, he couldn't stop him from punishing these two troublemakers!
However, he maintained his composure on the surface, adopting an expression of deep concern as a fierce aura suddenly enveloped Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
Then he sternly reprimanded them: "You dare to act violently within the academy and harm your fellow students? This crime is utterly unforgivable!"
"Xiao Xiao Ji, how dare you be so arrogant! Bring these two troublemakers to me and take them to the Law Enforcement Academy for severe punishment!"
As soon as Duan Tianxiao's words fell, four law enforcement disciples rushed out from behind him.
"Wait!" At that moment, a deep voice filled with an invisible pressure instantly suppressed Duan Tianxiao's momentum.
Everyone turned to look, and saw an elegant elder with a stern gaze—Duan Tianya, the president of the Imperial Academy.
"President! These two troublemakers have injured others; we can't just cover for them, can we?" Upon seeing the president intervene, Duan Tianxiao's expression changed slightly, and he quickly spoke up.
"The students were sparring; injuries are inevitable. I think it's better to let this go," Duan Tianya said calmly.
"But if we let this go, it will be hard to appease the crowd!" Duan Tianxiao had already prepared his counterarguments and was unwilling to back down at this moment.
Duan Tianya frowned at his words, pondering for a moment before turning to Chen Li and Shen Qingyue. "Are you willing to join the academy's hunting team to go to Azure Wind Valley and exterminate the beasts to make up for your mistakes?"
"Azure Wind Valley?" Chen Li and Shen Qingyue exchanged glances, both revealing expressions of confusion.
Azure Wind Valley is located on the outskirts of the Qingyun Mountain Range; it was originally a place rich in Spiritual Energy for cultivation. However, recently, for some unknown reason, the beasts in the valley have become frenzied. Many beasts have migrated from deep within the mountains, wreaking havoc and causing suffering for many villagers living in the mountains.
"I was planning to send someone to Azure Wind Valley to investigate this matter and exterminate the beasts. Are you willing to go?" Duan Tianya explained.
"We have no choice but to accept!" Chen Li and Shen Qingyue could see that the president was protecting them, and they immediately replied in unison.
Duan Tianya nodded in satisfaction; these two little ones did not disappoint him.
"Good! You may go rest now. Tomorrow morning, gather at the academy square for departure," Duan Tianya said as he took out a token from his robe and handed it to Chen Li. "Take this token with you; if you encounter danger, you can use it to request help from nearby guards."
"Thank you, President!" Chen Li accepted the token and bowed in gratitude.
A flicker of rage and resentment flashed in Duan Tianxiao's eyes.
"Hmph! Don't get too proud! Old Madam will ensure that you go without return!"
