Jiang Chen looked up at the alluring figure in front of Zhang Qian.

Her black, straight hair was casually tied at the back of her head, and her exquisite face carried a hint of charm. Her eyes held flickers of red light, like two raging flames. She wore a sleeveless short dress, exposing her long legs and white arms to the air, her whole body exuding a seductive power.

Senior Sister?

Upon hearing this term, Jiang Chen understood.

Within the academy, disciples usually called each other senior brother or sister, but there was one exception: the top student in each of the five academies, like Lei Kai, who was the top student in the Golden Path Academy and considered the senior brother by all who studied there!

"Chen Mu, the fire token doesn't belong to anyone until the principal decides its ownership. If you have any objections, you can go to the principal. Private snatching of tokens is strictly forbidden in the academy!"

The alluring woman coldly glanced at the man in the red robe.

Chen Mu's expression darkened. He glared at Zhang Qian before returning unwillingly to the crater.

The alluring woman turned to Jiang Chen, a seductive curve forming at the corner of her mouth. She winked at Jiang Chen, "Is this Junior Jiang Chen? I've heard you've taken my mentor as your teacher. We should get close, shouldn't we?"

Uh...

Jiang Chen's mouth twitched. Did this woman really change her demeanor so quickly? Also, what did she mean by that...?

"Is Senior Sister a student of Teacher Sang?"

Jiang Chen raised his hand in a gesture of respect and spoke softly.

"My name is Fire Phoenix. I'm a student of Old Man Sang. You can call me Sister Phoenix. You won't lose out by calling me sister!"

The alluring woman laughed gently, winking at Jiang Chen once again.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. Fire Phoenix indeed looked very captivating, with a unique charm in her eyes that made one want to explore further.

However, something made Jiang Chen uncomfortable; Fire Phoenix seemed to exude a special seductive power, not simply from her appearance, but as if a special force was stirring his desires.

Is this... the Path of Allure? Such a niche Great Dao!

"Senior Sister Fire."

Jiang Chen replied indifferently, "If Senior Sister wants to test me, just say so directly. There's no need for such tricks, is there?"

Fire Phoenix was slightly surprised, a trace of astonishment appearing in her eyes, and her lips curved into a seductive smile, "As expected of a genius admired by the academy's seven strong ones simultaneously; your perception is sharp!"

"Senior Zhang Qian, I'm heading down!"

Jiang Chen didn't pay more attention to Fire Phoenix, greeted Zhang Qian, and turned towards the crater.

Fire Phoenix showed a trace of astonishment in her eyes. In Changlin Academy, she had never encountered a male student who could ignore her like this. Even some instructors would occasionally show off in front of her. This kid…

Has my charm diminished?

Fire Phoenix touched her cheek, her eyes filled with doubt.

"Jiang Chen, Fire Phoenix is the top student in the Fire-Spirit Academy and your teacher's disciple, making her your senior sister. Isn't it a bit rude to ignore her like this?"

As Jiang Chen nearly reached the crater, a figure blocked his path.

Looking at the man blocking him, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, saluting respectfully, "This instructor, isn't it against academy rules to casually use your Great Dao attack on others? You're not reprimanding her, but instead me? What's the reasoning?"

Chen Lin's face changed, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

Chen Lin was a newly promoted instructor of the academy. When he was a student, he chased after Fire Phoenix, and nearly everyone in the academy knew about it. Seeing Fire Phoenix being snubbed today, he felt it was his time to shine. As an instructor, which student would dare disobey?

But he hadn't expected this Jiang Chen to dare talk back!

During the academy's attack, Chen Lin was executing tasks outside and wasn't present, so he didn't know Jiang Chen. As for his name, most people in the academy mentioned Jiang Chen respectfully as either Junior Jiang or Senior Jiang.

Thus, Chen Lin knew Jiang Chen was Hu Yiqiu's disciple but didn't know he was the one who saved the academy!

"Chen Lin, this is none of your business!"

Fire Phoenix coldly snapped as she saw Chen Lin causing trouble for Jiang Chen.

She deeply respected Jiang Chen; the scene of him managing the formation and slaying the mysterious Unity Realm Peak expert was etched deeply in her mind. She used her unique Great Dao on Jiang Chen to leave an impression.

Unexpectedly, it left a negative impression.

Seeing Chen Lin using her influence as an excuse to trouble Jiang Chen made her anxious. She had already left a bad impression; if Chen Lin added more trouble and made Jiang Chen think it was her doing, it would make it worse!

Whoosh!

With that thought, Fire Phoenix flashed next to Jiang Chen, subtly shielding him and glaring angrily at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin was stunned. Although Fire Phoenix usually was warm and cold to him, she had never glared at him like this.

A fiery jealousy burned in Chen Lin's heart. He glared hard at Jiang Chen, a cold gleam in his eyes.

"Brother, don't act rashly. Jiang Chen is…"

Chen Mu's expression changed dramatically, rushing to Chen Lin, trying to pull his hand.

"Shut up! I know who he is!"

Chen Lin scolded Chen Mu before turning back to Jiang Chen, "Even as Elder Wine-crazed's disciple, so what? I'm an instructor here. You didn't salute a teacher when you saw one; that's disrespecting your elders!"

All around the crater, people looked at Chen Lin, a trace of dissatisfaction in their eyes.

"I've already saluted!"

Jiang Chen said calmly.

"A gesture of respect is for peers; I demand a bow!"

Chen Lin barked.

"Chen Lin, that's enough!"

Just as some instructors were about to scold, Fire Phoenix angrily interrupted, "Why should Jiang Chen bow to you? Have you taught him anything?"

Chen Lin's face turned sullen immediately. He glanced at Fire Phoenix, his anger burning hotter.

She dares rebuke me for this Jiang Chen? And even mock me?

Damn!

His eyes burned with rage as Chen Lin said, "Phoenix, I'm an instructor; he's a student; he should bow to me! Just because he's Elder Wine-crazed's disciple doesn't mean he can ignore these manners, right?"
