Elder Lengyue's words, spoken lightly, struck like a thunderclap in the ears of everyone present.
The surrounding students from the Imperial Academy, who had been immersed in Chen Li's recent outrageous remarks, were now left dumbfounded.
Life-and-Death Duel!
These three words had appeared countless times in the history of the Four Major Sects and the Imperial Academy, each time representing bloodshed and slaughter. According to the rules set by the Ancestor Sect, once a Life-and-Death Duel began, only one person could walk away alive from the arena.
And now, Elder Lengyue had actually proposed a Life-and-Death Duel!
Lin Xuan's expression also turned serious. However, with matters having come to this point, he could not refuse; he could only feign calmness and ask in a deep voice, "Which student from the Holy Spirit Palace do you intend to send into battle?"
A cold and cunning glint flashed across Leng Yue's face.
Naturally, it would be our youngest student, Chen!
All eyes unconsciously fell upon Chen.
This eight-year-old boy, dressed in white as snow, with handsome features and an ethereal demeanor, seemed like a celestial being descended to earth. Yet this seemingly harmless child possessed terrifying strength that sent chills down one's spine.
Innate Nine!
With such cultivation level, not to mention the lower-level students of the Imperial Academy, even the seventh-level students present might not be his match.
Elder Lengyue clearly intended to use the guise of a Life-and-Death Duel to eliminate someone from the Imperial Academy!
This old witch is truly calculating! Chen Bingyan muttered under her breath, her eyes filled with cold light. Although she did not know Chen's exact strength, she could guess that with their current cultivation levels, they would definitely not be able to match him.
What should we do? She looked at her mentor Lin Xuan with a worried expression. It seemed that today's events would not end well.
Lin Xuan's face grew even darker, pale as paper. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his knuckles turning white from the pressure.
Who among the major forces of the Qian Sheng Empire did not know that the Holy Spirit Palace had produced an Innate cultivation genius named Chen? This kid Xiao Xiao Ji had actually reached Innate Nine—something unheard of! With such cultivation level, not even he could find a single seventh-level student capable of matching him.
Was participating in the Life-and-Death Duel simply a path to death? He looked around at the frustrated yet helpless students, feeling a deep bitterness in his heart. How could he choose someone to fight? Was he really going to watch his students die?
Leng Yue watched Lin Xuan's defeated expression, feeling a surge of satisfaction. She leisurely walked up to Lin Xuan and said in a mocking tone, "What’s wrong, Lin Xuan? Just now, you all claimed we were unfair, and I proposed this fair method. Now that you’re silent, are you admitting defeat? Heh, your Imperial Academy can’t possibly lack this bit of courage, right?"
She paused for a moment, her gaze sweeping over Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, a sinister smile creeping onto her face. "Of course, if you’re willing to admit defeat, I won’t push you. Just renounce your earlier mockery of our Holy Spirit Palace and the Little Beasts; I can let it go and spare you."
As Elder Leng Yue's words fell, an uproar erupted among the crowd. The Imperial Academy students were filled with righteous indignation, itching to rush forward and tear apart Leng Yue's old face. How could they be so shameless? Did this old hag really think there was no one left in the Imperial Academy?
Exactly! It’s just a Life-and-Death Duel! Who’s afraid of whom?
Amidst the fervor, Chen Bingyan could no longer hold back. She stood up abruptly, her clear voice cutting through the noisy crowd: "Lin Xuan, it’s better to die than to be humiliated! I will fight them!"
Chen Bingyan's sudden challenge silenced the previously rowdy crowd. Everyone turned in surprise toward the petite yet resolute girl. Lin Xuan's lips trembled as he looked at Chen Bingyan with a complex expression filled with sorrow. His heart was heavy.
He knew that Chen Bingyan was proud and unyielding; she would rather break than bend. But having her face off against that pervert Chen was nothing short of sending her to her death! Although Chen Bingyan was among the top students in the Imperial Academy and trained diligently, the gap between her and Innate Nine Chen was not something to be underestimated.
The Life-and-Death Duel, as its name implied, was a battle where lives were at stake! Once it began, there would be no room for retreat. The Holy Spirit Palace was clearly looking for a legitimate reason to slaughter his students!
Lin Xuan felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly, making it hard for him to breathe. This was an impossible choice! He absolutely did not want to see his students die! However, if no one stepped up, wouldn’t that mean the Imperial Academy was tacitly accepting the Holy Spirit Palace's humiliation?
Just as he was torn and unsure of what to do, a figure suddenly darted past him like lightning toward the arena.
"Lin Xuan, leave this little trash to me," Chen Li said, his voice a mix of casual laziness and a hint of arrogance, yet it struck like thunder in the ears of everyone present.
"I guarantee I'll make him unrecognizable to his own parents!"
Everyone, including Leng Yue, was stunned by Chen Li's sudden outburst. Had this guy lost his mind? He was just an Innate Level Three nobody, and he dared to charge forward? Did he really think he could beat Chen into such a state?
Was he speaking ironically?
Lin Xuan, taken aback by the scene, hadn't expected Chen Li to rush out at that moment.
"Chen Li! Come back!" Lin Xuan shouted sternly. "Do you even know what you're doing? Get back here! This isn't the time for you to show off!"
However, Chen Li seemed to ignore him completely as he strode up to Chen with a disdainful look.
"You little trash, do you really think you deserve an apology from us at the Imperial Academy?"
As he spoke, Chen Li sized up Chen with a gaze that suggested he was looking at a filthy bug on the roadside.
"You! You don't need our apology; I'll just break your neck myself!"
Chen's face turned pale with rage, his fists clenched tightly as he wished he could rush over and snap Chen Li's annoying neck right then and there.
"What do you mean 'you'? Not convinced? If you're not convinced, come at me!" Chen Li taunted, beckoning with his fingers. "Don't act like a coward; stop dragging your feet!"
Chen was about to explode with anger. Unable to hold back any longer, he let out a furious roar and charged at Chen Li.
"You bastard, you're asking for death!"
A powerful aura erupted from Chen, causing the surrounding air to feel as if it had solidified under the weight of his presence.
Everyone held their breath, silently watching the two on the stage. Many looked at Chen Li with expressions filled with sympathy.
This time, Chen Li was doomed!
Leng Yue finally reacted, a cruel smile curling at the corners of her mouth. "What an arrogant fool!"
"Chen, kill him! Let him know what happens when you offend us at the Holy Spirit Palace!"
