Chapter 425: Xiao Han is a Good Person

Ignoring the wild joy and schadenfreude of Dean Taicang, and the confusion and bewilderment of the other spiritual academies.

"How could it only be fifth (seventh, eighth) place?" Huge doubt filled the hearts of the three spiritual academy deans.

One must know, not only had Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy become the strongest batch in nearly a hundred years under Xiao Han's guidance, but the other spiritual academies of the Five Great Academies were the same.

Precisely because of this, the strength of the contestants from the other Five Great Academies had also skyrocketed to an unprecedented level; they clearly should have grown larger and stronger to create new brilliance, yet now they had become the baseline.

No matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not understand the reason for this.

Could it be a dark operation?

The three deans shook their heads; they themselves were the biggest dark operations.

"Perhaps there was some accident."

They had no choice but to comfort themselves this way.

The only thing to be glad about was that their academies had at least entered the finals of the Spiritual Academy Tournament and possessed the qualification to compete for the final crown.

"Well done."

Seeing the five figures at the highest point of the central battle platform, even Taicang, who usually did not show his emotions on his face, could not help but reveal a smile.

"Junior Brother Bing is awesome!" The student who had been trying his best to pretend to be a puff of air beside Beiming Longkun and Elder Bing Yi could no longer suppress that restless heart, instantly stood up, and his loud and penetrating voice pierced the firmament.

"Eh?"

Seeming to notice the silence around him, that student even felt a bit aggrieved.

Where were the cheers? Where were the shouts?

Our own team achieved the first-place result, shouldn't you all feel honored by association?

"What are you doing..."

As a result, the moment he turned his head, he was met with two old, calm-as-water faces and the complex expressions of his little companions—three parts surprise, five parts admiration, and three parts emotion.

To pop out while two great seniors were chatting, just for this courage of yours, I'll add one more point for you.

"That... Lord Beiming, I..." The student was a bit trembling and spoke stutteringly.

Before he could finish speaking, Beiming Longkun slightly raised his hand, and a hearty smile suddenly appeared on his cold face, revealing a set of neat teeth that formed a sharp contrast with his sparse hair.

"What are you looking at?"

"This time it was our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy that won, hurry up and cheer for them!"

As the voice fell,

"Go Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy!" xn.

Glancing at the scene of cheers like a mountain torrent and tsunami on the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's viewing stand, Dean Tiansheng of the Holy Spiritual Academy frowned imperceptibly, but did not say anything more.

Since Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was the first to gain an advantage, could he not allow them to celebrate?

Being petty about such a small matter would only make others think their Holy Spiritual Academy couldn't afford to lose.

The finals of the Spiritual Academy Tournament started under Tiansheng's announcement, and a brand new journey began once again.

Beicang Continent.

The white-clothed phantom left his own unique mark above the vast and boundless continent; the people below looked up, and the sky still revealed a mesmerizing blue and white.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of breaking wind rang out; Xiao Han rushed into the territory of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy without any obstruction and swept toward the depths without stopping.

However, this grand and unbridled charge naturally did not escape the notice of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

"That is..."

Could it be that someone was going to attack Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?

Many new students of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy who knew about the war between Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy and the Dragon Demon Palace a few years ago all became nervous, their faces turning pale while they gripped the weapons in their hands.

Just amidst everyone's doubts and anxiety...

"Who dares to trespass into my Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?"

Zhutian's majestic voice rang out over Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

"Stop for me..."

However, that figure still did not make any response. This arrogant behavior completely enraged Zhutian. Just as he was about to take action himself, a leisurely voice entered his ears,

"Zhutian, are you sure you want to make a move on me?"

"You are..."

Zhutian was stunned at first. Although Xiao Han belonged to the same Heavenly Seat Elders of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy as him, the former only had the title, counted as external aid, did not follow the clock-in-to-work routine, and in most cases remained outside the decision-making of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to call the relationship between the two unfamiliar.

But soon, a wave of not-so-pleasant memories surged into his mind. Zhutian's facial muscles twitched, and he immediately withdrew the attack he was about to launch and his entire aura.

"Elder Xiao?"

"It is I." At this time, Xiao Han had already appeared at the Elder Hall, saying with a smile.

Seeing this, Zhutian completely set his heart at ease.

"Nothing is the matter here, Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy personnel, return to your duties."

After Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy received Zhutian's announcement, although they were still full of doubts, they continued with the things at hand.

"The academy seems to be a bit on edge?"

Xiao Han recalled the reaction of the people in the academy just now and asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Zhutian could only smile bitterly. It wasn't just the students and teachers; even he, a Heavenly Seat Elder, was terrified!

From the Dean and the Guardian Beast at the top, down to the students and seniors, a full seventy percent of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's strength had gone to watch the competition.

Now it could be said to be the time when Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's defense was at its emptiest. If someone really had ulterior motives, even if he died in the front, he couldn't withstand the catastrophic consequences of a massive loss of fresh blood.

Thinking of the tournament, Zhutian suddenly remembered,

"Elder Xiao, a senior from Bing Yu's family recently came looking for you, and is currently at the finals of the Spiritual Academy Tournament."

"Oh."

Xiao Han understood in his heart, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, "Has this day finally arrived?"

"Many thanks to Elder Zhutian for informing me."

Following this, Xiao Han took a palm-sized jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Zhutian.

"This is..."

Zhutian did not take it, but instead looked at Xiao Han, his gaze full of inquiry.

With the former's shrewdness, he naturally knew that what was in Xiao Han's hand would not be common goods; however, it was precisely because the other party's gift was extraordinary that Zhutian dared not accept it—caution had been carved into the bones of an old fellow like him.

Xiao Han also understood that his sudden gift-giving was a bit baffling, so he smiled and explained:

"Elder Zhutian, rest assured, this is just a small parting gift from me; not only you, but Dean Taicang and the others have one as well."

"This little thing is nothing to me."

"Besides..."

Xiao Han shook the jade bottle in his hand with amusement,

"This is a Supreme Heaven Pill; does Elder Zhutian really want to refuse it?"

Elder Zhutian's lips twitched a few times, and in the end, he simply and neatly tucked the jade bottle into his pocket.

"Then this old man will respectfully accept."

He wanted to refuse, but the Supreme Heaven Pill was simply too tempting; this was a legendary Medicinal Pill that could allow anyone below the Fourth Grade Supreme to advance by one grade without any side effects, so he could not afford to be coy or hypocritical.

Furthermore, since Xiao Han said everyone had this gift, it wouldn't matter if he accepted it... right?

After all...

Xiao Han is a good person!

"Does Elder Xiao want to go watch the finals?" After accepting the jade bottle, Elder Zhutian's old face broke into a smile at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he suggested with a chuckle.

"That is only natural; then I will trouble Elder Zhutian to keep watch over the students."

Xiao Han bowed slightly and said.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
