Chapter 2410 - 2414: A Good Disciple

~7 min read 1,222 words

"Huh, Jiang Chen is actually withstanding the pressure of the Great Dao in the Late Divine Infant Realm without releasing the Power of the Great Dao? This level of Great Dao Comprehension is impressive!"

A soft voice rang out, and an elder looked at the figure on the light screen, with an astonished expression in his eyes.

"This child is extraordinary, having comprehended five types of Great Dao, and also comprehended Dao Rhythm. If nothing unexpected happens, Integration Realm Peak is probably not his final destination!"

Another elder boldly made a prediction.

"Nonsense, he’s my grand-disciple, can he be ordinary?"

Elder Zhu raised his head, proudly pointing at the figure on the light screen that attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone smirked at Elder Zhu, secretly musing that although it’s true he’s your grand-disciple, it’s likely he doesn’t even know you yet?

In the Trial Grounds.

Liu Chang followed Jiang Chen closely, the astonishment in his eyes growing more intense.

They had already walked fifty meters in the Late Divine Infant Realm competition area, yet Jiang Chen still hadn’t released the Power of the Great Dao, enduring the pressure here purely.

Without releasing the Power of the Great Dao to resist, the pressure directly affects a cultivator’s Divine Infant, which is a test of Great Dao Comprehension, unrelated to the physical body!

"Who is that guy?"

A Mid Divine Infant Realm student struggling to hold on was surprised to see Jiang Chen, who hadn’t released the Power of the Great Dao.

"Isn’t that Jiang Chen who was shouting earlier? How did he get here?"

The person beside him recognized Jiang Chen and spoke with surprise.

"What? Jiang Chen? Isn’t he supposed to be Mid Divine Infant Realm?

"My goodness, he’s in Mid Divine Infant Realm without releasing the Power of the Great Dao and walked here? What’s going on?"

"Is his Great Dao Comprehension really that strong? Just relying on the Power of the Great Dao nurtured by the Divine Infant can support this long?"

"My goodness, the pressure of the Great Dao directly falls on the Divine Infant, and the release of the Power of the Great Dao are two different concepts!"

The surrounding students were drawn by the conversation and saw Jiang Chen moving forward, with shock in their eyes.

"This guy might really have the strength to challenge the first rank across levels!"

Someone recalled the question Jiang Chen had asked before, muttering quietly.

Amidst the shocked expressions, Jiang Chen slowly advanced, each step steady, and soon approached the end of this area.

"Jiang Chen!"

"How did he get here?"

Yun Tao, Cheng Kang, and several other students who had reached the endpoint were surprised to see Jiang Chen.

"This guy..."

For a moment, linking the earlier shout, Yun Tao understood instantly, his eyes showing admiration and gratification.

Cheng Kang’s face turned unsightly, staring at Jiang Chen fiercely, each step Jiang Chen took felt like stepping on his heart.

Originally, he mocked Jiang Chen for asking about challenging levels, but now, he had to take it seriously!

Gradually, Jiang Chen reached the end of this area.

"Junior Brother, well done!"

Yun Tao was overjoyed, giving Jiang Chen a thumbs up.

"Brother Jiang Chen, you’re amazing!"

Mu Ling’er joyfully looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen glanced at Yun Tao and the others, shaking his head lightly: "Not enough yet!"

Turning his head, Jiang Chen looked toward the Divine Infant Realm Peak area.

Yun Tao’s expression changed slightly, frowning gently: "Junior Brother, it’s enough. The pressure of the Great Dao ahead is too strong, you won’t be able to withstand it!"

"Hmph! Grandstanding, if you have the guts, go ahead. If you’re forced out of the Trial Grounds by the Great Dao pressure, you won’t even get the title of first in Mid Divine Infant Realm!"

Cheng Kang sneered, his words laced with anticipation.

Jiang Chen’s progress already shocked him, especially since it was without releasing the Power of the Great Dao!

Feeling a faint hint of apprehension, Cheng Kang was secretly pleased as it seemed Jiang Chen wanted to continue. In his view, Jiang Chen definitely couldn’t reach the end of the next area, and if he couldn’t reach it, withdrawing wouldn’t be easy, ultimately leading to exhaustion and withdrawal from the Trial Grounds.

"You’re annoying, I’ll beat you up later!"

Mu Ling’er glared at Cheng Kang, eyes filled with fierceness.

Cheng Kang paused but didn’t respond to Mu Ling’er, only staring intently at Jiang Chen.

"I want the title of first in Mid Divine Infant Realm, and the title of first in Late Divine Infant Realm as well!"

Jiang Chen gave Cheng Kang a cold glance, stepping forward directly into the next area.

Mu Ling’er was momentarily stunned, glancing at Jiang Chen and then at Cheng Kang, pursing her lips slightly, realizing she couldn’t beat Cheng Kang, feeling rather displeased.

Buzz!

The pressure of the Great Dao suddenly surged exponentially, causing Jiang Chen’s legs to weaken, almost kneeling to the ground.

"Junior Brother!"

Yun Tao called out in alarm, reflexively reaching out to help.

Slap!

A crisp sound rang out as Liu Chang, who followed Jiang Chen, grabbed Yun Tao’s wrist: "You can’t help him; once you intervene, he’ll lose his qualification!"

"This..."

Yun Tao gritted his teeth, staring intently at Jiang Chen in front of him, internally screaming, hang in there! Hang in there!

"Concern leads to chaos!"

Liu Chang chuckled softly: "Didn’t you notice he hasn’t released the Power of the Great Dao? Why are you nervous?"

Yun Tao blinked slightly, almost laughing, realizing he truly was chaotic due to concern!

Crash!

At this moment, a dazzling five-colored brilliance soared into the sky, and Jiang Chen, who was bent under pressure, straightened his back again.

With a resolute gaze fixed ahead, Jiang Chen walked forward with a gentle and steady stride.

"This guy, he’s truly going to cause a sensation in the academy this time!"

Liu Chang whispered, following again.

"Elder Zhu, congratulations on your return to Changling Academy!"

At the foot of the mountain, Jian Cangqiong clasped hands in respect towards Hu Yiqiu, speaking solemnly.

Since Jiang Chen took that step, Jian Cangqiong believed he could indeed reach the endpoint!

"Old Wine, you have accepted an excellent disciple!"

Ouyang Song exclaimed.

Lu Wangcheng and others looked at Hu Yiqiu with envy, feeling extremely envious that such a student isn’t from our academy? Why isn’t such a disciple mine?

Hu Yiqiu said nothing, staring intently at the figure on the light screen, the look in his eyes complex beyond words.

Initially, he just chose Jiang Chen for his potential, thinking he could cultivate him, which led to accepting him as a disciple. Though accepting a disciple is done with expectation, he never anticipated Jiang Chen could accomplish this.

Over these two years, the impact Jiang Chen brought surpassed all the shocks he had experienced in over a hundred years of life, and now Jiang Chen was already reciprocating, having done so for quite some time, while in contrast, reflecting on himself, what had he offered Jiang Chen?

Every thought of this brought Hu Yiqiu guilt. This might be the pressure one must bear for having an exceptionally gifted disciple!

However, having such a disciple is really good!

Hu Yiqiu’s face displayed a faint smile, his eyes overflowing with gratitude.
