Chapter 264: The Appearance of the Five Great Clans

Ye Lin and the others subconsciously looked toward the entrance of the plaza.

The Supreme Academy team was led personally by Vice Dean Yun Xintong. The man at the head carried an ancient sword on his back, wore black robes, and had a cold, stern expression and an extraordinary aura. He made no effort to conceal the fluctuations of his power; his formidable strength made everyone else feel a sense of suffocation.

"This aura... I'm afraid he's reached at least level 60, right?"

"Damn! What kind of monster is this? Level 60 at 20 years old? What kind of freaks are they all in the Supreme Academy?"

"How are we supposed to play like this? I feel like our entire team tied together wouldn't be enough to fight him alone!"

"Although their strength is indeed very strong... but has anyone else smelled a strange odor on the people from the Supreme Academy?"

The crowd discussed it in hushed tones, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at the Supreme Academy group. The people from the Supreme Academy clearly enjoyed this attention, walking slowly onto the plaza and standing with their hands behind their backs, stealing the spotlight for the moment.

"Level 60? Truly terrifying!"

Ye Lin's expression was very grave; he realized he had still underestimated the Supreme Academy.

That man was only a year or so older than him, yet his level was exactly the same as his own. The heroes of the world were truly as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river.

This was the first time Ye Lin had seen such a young level 60 class-changer. The level 60 class-changers he had seen in Qingcheng before were all middle-aged people around forty years old.

"That man is named Feng Tianyu, a level 60 Frost Sword Immortal. He is a student personally trained by Yun Xintong. Whether it is his mastery of sword skills or his insight into sword techniques, he has reached the level of true proficiency. He is your greatest opponent on this trip!" Yan Lanbing said softly.

Watching Feng Tianyu's back, Hu Baiqing clenched her fists tightly, the veins on them bulging, her face turning somewhat pale.

A sword cultivator understands sword cultivators best. The moment she saw Feng Tianyu, she understood that she could not possibly be his opponent!

Hu Baiqing even had an intuition that if Feng Tianyu went all out, she might not even last ten rounds under his hand!

A bitter smile appeared on Hu Baiqing's face. She finally understood why Daxia Academy had always been the eternal runner-up, never having won against the Supreme Academy even once.

Too strong!

The students of the Supreme Academy were so strong that it felt as if they weren't even from the same world!

No wonder the Human Emperor wanted to keep the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm under his control to balance the strength of graduates from various academies.

If the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm didn't exist and the academies were allowed to develop freely, then within ten years, the powerhouses of Daxia would basically all be from the Supreme Academy.

Ye Lin: "You say, if one day you were caught in a mental hospital, what is the shortest thing you could say to the doctor to prove you aren't sick?"

Duan Ling: "Tell the doctor you have no money for treatment, and they'll arrange your discharge that same day."

Ye Lin's eyes lit up: "Brilliant!"

When she caught a glimpse of Ye Lin, who looked relaxed and was still chatting with Duan Ling, Hu Baiqing's brows furrowed instantly, and she questioned him.

"You're not nervous at all?"

"Huh? Why would I be nervous?" Ye Lin looked blank.

Hu Baiqing raised an eyebrow, then shook her head and laughed coldly.

"Forget it, why bother arguing with you? You're just relying on a divine artifact to act fierce."

After losing to Ye Lin that day, Hu Baiqing had immediately gone to investigate Ye Lin's background. She didn't know until she checked, and she was shocked by what she found.

Only then did Hu Baiqing learn that the divine artifact in Ye Lin's hand was called the Spear of Imperial Gold, an eight-star divine artifact!

Careless and underestimating the enemy, plus Ye Lin holding an eight-star divine artifact—no wonder she had lost so quickly that day. Thinking of this, Hu Baiqing couldn't be bothered to explain anything to Ye Lin and said indifferently.

"You are only level 28 now, your horizons are still narrow. Seeing him is like a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at the moon. When you are lucky enough to reach level 50 or above, you will see him like a mayfly seeing the vast blue sky!"

In Hu Baiqing's view, Ye Lin's level was just too low, which was why he couldn't realize how terrifying Feng Tianyu was.

Ye Lin rolled his eyes. It was truly like Cao Pi's father-in-law—speechless (Zhen Ji Ba—a pun on 'damn it').

"Hu Baiqing, according to your logic, there's no need to compete; we should just kneel and admit defeat. Your tonsils probably weigh more than your brain."

"What did you say?" A flash of coldness appeared in Hu Baiqing's eyes, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Hu Baiqing had long wanted to fight Ye Lin again to wash away her previous shame.

Just then, a sound of something piercing the air rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Everyone around felt a suffocating, terrifying pressure. A long rainbow broke through the air and landed directly on the plaza, transforming into five youths!

In an instant, the Supreme Academy's spotlight was directly eclipsed.

This was because the aura on these five youths was incredibly formidable. The white-clad man at the head emitted an aura even more terrifying than Feng Tianyu's!

That man's indifferent eyes swept over the people on the plaza. Everyone his gaze touched felt difficulty breathing. Finally, his gaze stopped on Ye Lin, then he withdrew it indifferently.

Ye Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. If he wasn't mistaken, these five were people from the Xie family!

"It's people from the Five Great Clans!"

"The Five Great Clans? What are those?"

"You don't even know the Five Great Clans? You've lived in vain! Those are the five strongest families in Daxia. The history of the five families can even be traced back thousands of years to before class-changers appeared!"

"That terrifying?"

"That's for sure! But fortunately, people from the ancient Five Great Clans don't participate in our academy rankings; otherwise, there would really be no point in playing!"

The crowd discussed it in hushed tones, their eyes filled with fear and envy as they looked at those five people.

Those five people represented the strongest and most elite existence among those under 20 in the entire ancient Daxia nation!

Possessing the resources of their clans, even the top geniuses of the Supreme Academy seemed somewhat eclipsed in front of them.

"Brother Xie Zhanxin, your Xie family has arrived really early this year!"

A commotion broke out on the plaza again. A massive golden arrow broke through the air, and several figures were faintly visible within the golden radiance.

When the light completely dissipated, five young men and women wearing luxurious robes appeared in everyone's view.

Exquisite golden dragon patterns were faintly embroidered on their clothing, appearing mysterious and noble.

At the head was a tall man with a figure so perfectly proportioned it was exaggerated. Even if he weren't a class-changer, his appearance alone would be more than enough to be a professional model.

The man's eyes revealed an innate arrogance and confidence, as if everything in the world should submit at his feet.

"Ji Tianxuan, are we that close?" Xie Zhanxin said indifferently, his tone neither salty nor bland.

"Oh my! You really hurt my heart saying that. I've always considered you my dearest friend and brother!"

Ji Tianxuan wore a look of deep grief, then changed the subject and asked with a smile.

"By the way, I heard your Xie family sent you out this time specifically to deal with someone named Ye Lin. Is this true or false?"
