Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2296 - 2252: Academy in Turmoil

In an instant, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

Even some disciples responsible for daily affairs couldn’t help but put down their tasks and looked toward Chen Yang.

Although surrounded by staring eyes, Chen Yang was indifferent, as if not noticing, and walked straight to the window, saying, "I want to enter the regional challenge, please register for me."

"Alright, who do you want to challenge?"

The disciple at the window took the Jade Token and asked Chen Yang.

Chen Yang, without a shred of hesitation, blurted out, "Liu Ziye."

Boom!!

Craziness, absolute craziness.

"He really came to challenge Liu Ziye."

"It seems true. He has long had this plan; his previous silence was merely waiting for the ranking challenges to begin."

In an instant, the entire hall exploded, numerous people were discussing among themselves.

Some who were fond of gossip even abandoned their tasks and went out immediately to spread the news.

"Help me register." Even the disciple doing the registration was stunned; Chen Yang saw he hadn’t moved for a while and reminded him.

"Alright." The registration disciple hurried to register.

After a round of simple operations, the time was finally set for tomorrow at noon.

The timing of this duel mainly depends on whether the opponent has a lot of challengers.

If there are many challengers, it’ll proceed one by one, so waiting a few days would be necessary.

But who would dare challenge someone like Liu Ziye, a popular contender?

Only Chen Yang, hence the challenge time can be greatly shortened.

Directly beginning tomorrow.

"Alright." Registration finished, Chen Yang did not say much, accepted the Jade Token, and left with Tu Qi, returning to the cave dwelling area.

"Brother Chen Yang, are you truly confident? Liu Ziye’s combat strength isn’t something to be laughed at." As they neared the cave dwelling, Tu Qi’s heart was pounding.

Still quite uneasy.

After all, it’s Liu Ziye.

Yet Chen Yang remained serene, with a constant smile on his face, "Do you think I’m joking? Though Liu Ziye is strong, I am not exactly a pushover, okay? Have some confidence in me."

"Alright, I hope you will triumph tomorrow."

Seeing Chen Yang’s persistent assurance, Tu Qi felt slightly more at ease.

Afterward, both returned to their respective cave dwellings.

Waiting quietly for the following day to come.

The two returned to their cave dwellings, ignoring the outside affairs.

Meanwhile, the academy was already ablaze with excitement.

From the highest echelons down to some servants in the academy, everyone knew that Chen Yang, who had only joined the academy for two or three months, was going to challenge Liu Ziye.

Upon hearing this news, everyone was astonished and found it unbelievable.

Indeed, it was too outrageous.

Discussion among students was one thing.

Even some high-ranking figures were gathered discussing.

"This Chen Yang is quite the restless fellow, how long has he been at the academy? Yet he’s caused so much commotion already," a high-ranking elder said with a smile.

"Hehe, a bit of fuss isn’t bad, the academy has been quiet for so long, it needs some liveliness," another senior responded.

The rest of the elders laughed heartily at this.

Suddenly an elder looked towards Elder Gu sitting silently by the side and said, "Old Gu, hasn’t Chen Yang stayed at your Pill Hall for a while? What do you think of him?"

Although Elder Gu can be considered a senior elder of the academy.

He’s specifically in charge of Zone Two, while only the elders of Zone One may be called senior elders.

These people are the backbone of the academy.

The academy relies on these people for support.

For higher ranks, there’s only the principal and a few powerful patron elders.

"Yes, Old Gu, what do you think of Chen Yang’s strength? If it’s just a bluff, I might not bother watching the fun tomorrow."

The other elders upon hearing this also looked to Elder Gu to inquire about Chen Yang’s details.

"Hmm... I’ve indeed had some contact with him, not very familiar with his realm, but observing his character, he doesn’t seem like a reckless person. He must have his reasons and confidence behind the challenge decision," Elder Gu replied to the elders.

But he felt some hidden concern.

Though he seldom asks or attends to such matters in the academy.

Yet he had heard of Liu Ziye.

At a young age, having received a legacy from a great power, his cultivation soared swiftly, even possessing a very powerful magic weapon.

Such a person, valued highly by the academy.

Even once asked him to refine an Infant Nurturing Pill for Liu Ziye.

This alone indicates Liu Ziye is extremely close to the Nascent Soul Realm.

How can Chen Yang compete?

"Oh? So, tomorrow’s arena battle might indeed be worth watching."

"Haha, yes, considering that, we’ll join the fun tomorrow as well."

...

The elders laughed uproariously.

Only Elder Gu harbored some anxiety.

"Hahaha, good, very good, Ziye, that fellow agreed to your challenge, he’s simply courting death."

In Zhao Shuo’s cave dwelling, after hearing of Chen Yang’s challenge, Zhao Shuo laughed heartily with immense pride.

Beside him stood the distinguished Liu Ziye and Li Tian respectively.

Li Tian himself bore an elegant demeanor, yet appeared meek as a mite in front of Liu Ziye, surrounded by a radiance.

"It’s indeed a joyful occasion, Master, your heart’s knot can finally be undone." Li Tian was most excited, immediately addressing Liu Ziye again: "Senior Brother Liu, you must avenge me tomorrow. As a humble disciple, I almost got slain by him, and Master lost face saving me."

"Junior Brother Li, rest assured, his daring provocation against me means his death tomorrow. I won’t let him walk away alive from the arena," Liu Ziye sneered, his tone brimming with confidence.

"Good, very good, Ziye, it’s a hassle for you to handle such small matters," Zhao Shuo was greatly satisfied, both with Liu Ziye’s attitude and Liu Ziye as his disciple.

"Master, you’re too kind. Chen Yang provokes the sect, how could I as a disciple stand by?" Liu Zixuan smiled, "Master, worry not, I’ll surely kill him tomorrow, and restore the sect’s honor!"

"Good, good, it’s up to you Ziye, go ahead boldly, if anything happens, I’ll back you up," Zhao Shuo nodded repeatedly, feeling elated.

Believing the big stone in his heart, was finally about to be removed.

...

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

Today was similar to the previous duel with Zou Tianming; the academy’s arena area was already crowded early on.

This time, however, the scale was unprecedented compared to before.

Practically every student who knew the news had come.

Moreover, attracting numerous high-ranking figures and elders from the academy.

The scene was immensely spectacular.

Chen Yang was completely unaware of all this, upon noticing the time had come, he tidied himself and then walked out from his cave dwelling.

Opening the door, he immediately saw the faces of Tu Qi, Chen Jing, and Yang Qingwan.
