Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2507 - 2606: Can’t Figure Out Why?! (Second Update)
Previously on Urban Super Medical Sage...
Later, the founder of Ling Academy died during the era when the Divine Demon Race reigned supreme. It is said he died at the hands of a Demon Lord of the Divine Demon Race, yet this Taiying Eagle, though severely wounded, fortunately survived.
Since then, the Taiying Eagle has remained in Ling Academy, serving as its Guardian. Usually, the Taiying Eagle would never leave Ling Academy.
There is also the old man on the back of this Taiying Eagle; it turns out to be Li Zi. Li Zi is no ordinary person but one of the Supreme Elders of Ling Academy, comparable to Elder Xuu, Elder Wang, and Elder Guo of the Saint Academy.
With Taiying Eagle and Li Zi openly descending upon the Saint Academy, this is indeed intriguing.
The grandeur, immense.
It is even the grandest stance in the history of Ling Academy.
"Dean Feng." In the next moment, the old man on Taiying Eagle flickered and appeared before Feng Qiu. The old man was Li Zi, whose status and strength were not inferior to Feng Qiu. He slightly cupped his hands and said.
"Elder Li." Feng Qiu also slightly cupped his hands: "May I ask why Elder Li has come carrying Taiying Eagle?"
Feng Qiu was direct because he was genuinely curious.
The sudden arrival of Ling Academy, with such a grand scene, are they declaring war on the Saint Academy? But that’s not right!
If it were war, it wouldn’t be just Li Zi coming alone.
"By the order of the Head of Ling Institute, I am here to invite the Saint Academy to participate in the martial arts exchange tournament of the Four Great Academies, scheduled in sixty years." Li Zi said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qiu was dumbfounded.
Elder Xuu and the other three Supreme Elders were also dumbfounded.
Even the hundreds of thousands of students at the Saint Academy were even more stunned.
How is this possible?!
Did they hear wrong?
Exchange tournament?
Everyone in the Saint Academy, whether lower-ranking or high-ranking, knows, for thousands of years, ever since Ling Academy acquired The Undead Gu Xiu, they have orchestrated exchange tournaments several times to forge an invincible spirit for Gu Xiu. This invincible spirit needs continuous top-level battles to be built bit by bit and win them.
In the previous exchanges, ultimately, Gu Xiu won them all.
Ling Academy managed to achieve their goal.
A thousand years ago, Ling Academy planned to hold another exchange tournament a millennium later.
But later.
Su Chen emerged out of nowhere!!!
The astounding talent for martial cultivation and chilly combat power exhibited by Su Chen should, in theory, be known to Ling Academy!
Not to mention the battle against Huang Zhi, even the one where Su Chen crushed Zhuo Ming in the Li family should have been enough to intimidate Ling Academy, right?
Back then, in the Li family, the Head of Ling Institute, Mu Lijian, was ambiguous and unsure about wanting the upcoming exchange tournament to proceed. He was already hesitant!
In Feng Qiu’s view and the others, it was almost certain that the tournament could not be held as planned.
Who would have thought...
Ling Academy wants to proceed as scheduled?
Moreover, it seems that this time, Ling Academy is extremely confident. Why say this? Just look at the grand scene of the invitation, it’s Li Zi and Taiying Eagle!
Such a grand invitation was unprecedented for Ling Academy.
"Are you sure?" Feng Qiu, perplexed, stared deeply at Li Zi after a few breaths, completely puzzled.
"Naturally sure." Li Zi smiled slightly.
"Then the Saint Academy agrees." Feng Qiu thought for a moment and agreed. Why not agree? He wasn’t clear where Ling Academy suddenly got their confidence from, but he was a hundred percent confident in Su Chen.
If Ling Academy intends to bring the top beauty Mu Feiyan of the Four Great Academies to be Su Chen’s wife, it seems Young boy Su would not refuse.
Besides, obtaining the legendary "Nine Heavenly Layers of the Firmament," this martial skill, renowned in the entire Grand Cosmos World, would be infinitely beneficial for Su Chen if acquired.
"Haha... see you in sixty years then. I’ll take my leave as I still need to visit Ming Academy and Jade Academy." Li Zi laughed heartily, about to depart.
But Feng Qiu asked, "Has Ling Academy decided where the exchange tournament will be held?"
"Naturally, it’s at the Saint Academy." Li Zi answered without hesitation: "The previous three exchange tournaments were held at Ling Academy, Jade Academy, and Ming Academy; this time, it’s the Saint Academy’s turn..."
"Alright." Feng Qiu nodded, watching Li Zi leave, more perplexed. Ling Academy’s confidence was overwhelming; not only did they come with such grandeur to invite the Saint Academy for the exchange tournament, but they also decided it will be hosted at the Saint Academy. That’s a ludicrously full confidence! After all, the host has the advantage!
If held at the Saint Academy, the venue and all would be constructed by the Saint Academy, and Saint Academy students would naturally become familiar with the venue in advance.
Some advantages are indeed gained.
"Dean, could there be a trick?" Once Li Zi rode the Taiying Eagle away, Elder Xuu asked quietly, frowning deeply: "Mu Lijian couldn’t be that foolish, intentionally sending his daughter and the ’Nine Heavenly Layers of the Firmament’ to Young boy Su, right?"
"Could it be that The Undead Gu Xiu of Ling Academy encountered something fortunate, filling Mu Lijian with confidence, thinking Gu Xiu could defeat Su Chen?" Elder Guo curiously murmured.
"Perhaps. Let’s not overthink it. At least, this exchange tournament will be held as scheduled. It poses benefits with no downsides for us. With Su Chen, our odds of winning are great." Feng Qiu took a deep breath and said, even though he knew something must have happened within Ling Academy that boosted their confidence to such an extent, Feng Qiu didn’t believe anyone in the Four Great Academies could be Su Chen’s opponent.
The three Supreme Elders heavily nodded.
"Still sixty years away, let’s start building the Martial Arts Arena now. Build it larger and more luxurious. We can’t let Ming Academy, Jade Academy, and Ling Academy look down on us." Feng Qiu instructed.
——————
Next day.
Saint Academy was in an uproar.
The atmosphere was fervent.
The exchange tournament of the Four Great Academies was set to be held as scheduled.
Sixty years later.
As Saint Academy students, who wouldn’t be excited?!!!
Since The Undead Gu Xiu emerged in Ling Academy, in the previous exchange tournaments, Ling Academy unquestionably crushed the other Three Great Academies each time.
Humiliatingly so.
It was a disgrace.
As Saint Academy students, who wouldn’t want revenge?
Who wouldn’t want to restore honor?
Now, the opportunity has come.
Ling Academy, doing themselves in.
Knowing full well Su Chen is here!
Still daring to host an exchange tournament?
It’s sure to be a great show!
Almost all the Saint Academy students are a hundred thousand percent sure, for this exchange tournament, Su Chen is undoubtedly the main character!!!
No doubt at all.
As such, the excitement of Saint Academy students is understandable.
With such heightened emotions, it even sparked a big idea for the construction of the Martial Arts Arena.
No orders or instructions were needed from the three Supreme Elders; most of the Saint Academy students dedicated themselves to the major event of constructing the Martial Arts Arena.
At the mid-to-upper segment of the Holy Mountain, in front of a cave dwelling.
Feng Xi and Aunt Yui stood side by side, their gazes distant, looking forward and downward...
There, over a hundred thousand Saint Academy students were breaking stones to prepare for the construction of the Martial Arts Arena.
The atmosphere was fervent.
"The exchange tournament of the Four Great Academies?" A trace of confusion flashed through Feng Xi’s beautiful eyes: "Ling Academy, is it The Undead Gu Xiu from Ling Academy? He shouldn’t be anywhere close to being Su Chen’s opponent, right?"
