"You're an instructor at Fire-Spirit Academy, but I'm not a student there, so according to student rules, I don't need to bow to you!"

Jiang Chen spoke calmly: "Moreover, students bow to instructors out of respect, and you... are not worthy of that respect!"

"You scoundrel! You're disregarding your elders, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Elder Wine-crazed today, you arrogant boy!"

Chen Lin was furious, and a majestic Great Dao Aura surged up, with a blazing fire appearing above his head, and a terrifying pressure bearing down on Jiang Chen.

"How dare you!"

Fire Phoenix roared, her entire body bursting with momentum, a phantom of a Flame Phoenix appeared in the sky, unleashing Great Dao pressure that collided fiercely with Chen Lin's Great Dao Aura.

Fire Phoenix Martial Soul?!

Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly, looking up at the phantom of the Flame Phoenix in the sky with surprise.

Boom!

The sound of an explosion echoed, and Chen Lin's Great Dao Aura was abruptly dispersed by Fire Phoenix, causing him to stagger back a few steps!

"Stop!"

"Bastard! Chen Lin, are you courting death!"

Shouts of anger rang out, as Chen Lin and his group were too close, the instructors nearby had not reacted earlier, but now they all leaped in front of Jiang Chen, glaring angrily at Chen Lin.

"Chen Lin, what are you trying to do?"

A middle-aged instructor looked at Chen Lin coldly, his entire body erupting with a formidable aura, a Sea of Flames appeared in the sky, crashing fiercely towards the fire incarnated from Chen Lin's Great Dao Divine Light.

Boom!

Crash!

A shower of fiery rain fell, instantly shattering the blaze Chen Lin had conjured up.

Pfft!

Chen Lin's face turned pale, spitting out a mouthful of blood, looking at the middle-aged instructor in shock: "Instructor Lin, what do you mean by this? As an instructor, do I not have the right to discipline students?"

"Discipline students? Is this disciplining students? You're deliberately making things difficult for Jiang Chen because of your instructor status!"

The middle-aged instructor spoke coldly: "With your character, you're not fit to be an instructor. I will submit an application to the Dean, dismissing you from your position. You've already met the graduation standards for the branch, so once you're dismissed, you can leave the academy!"

"What? No! Instructor Lin, you can't submit that application, the Dean will not agree!"

Chen Lin's face changed drastically, speaking in fear.

The middle-aged instructor, although appearing middle-aged, was actually the longest-standing Virtual Refinement instructor in the Fire Study Palace, having more influence in the academy than some elders in the Unity Realm Stage. He was once the Chief Student of Fire Study Palace, and one of the surviving instructors from a major war a century ago, now serving as the Chief Instructor of Fire Study Palace!

"I agree!"

An old voice sounded, as a grey-clad elder appeared at the volcano mouth, glaring angrily at Chen Lin: "Chen Lin, as an academy instructor, you have abused your power for personal vendettas, neglecting the reputation of instructors to harass students. Now, in my capacity as Dean of the Flame Path Academy, I dismiss you from your position. You have two hours to leave the academy!"

"Out of the academy!"

"Out of the academy!"

Instructors and students at the volcano's mouth shouted in anger.

The moment Chen Lin struck at Jiang Chen, everyone's anger boiled over; Jiang Chen was the great benefactor who saved the entire academy, and not just the academy, but the lives of every person within it.

If Panlong Sect had won the battle a few days ago, they had no doubt that Panlong Sect would have turned Changlin Academy into a dead land!

Chen Lin's face instantly turned ashen, looking incredulously at everyone when he noticed the fury in their eyes, his heart trembled.

Jiang Chen?! Student Jiang! Jiang... Is it him!? Is he the student who saved the academy!?

The furious stares from everyone made him instantly realize Jiang Chen's identity, his body shaking fiercely.

Upon realizing that Jiang Chen was the student who saved the academy, Chen Lin knew he could no longer stay at Changlin Academy. Even if the Dean of the Flame Path Academy didn't dismiss him, he wouldn't be able to remain. Offending Jiang Chen was equivalent to offending the entire Changlin Academy!

Giving everyone another look, Chen Lin glared at Jiang Chen with eyes filled with cold light, reaching out to produce an instructor's badge in his hand, hurling it fiercely at the Dean of the Flame Path Academy, before leaping down Flame Path Mountain.

An instructor from the Enforcement Hall immediately followed, taking on the task of supervising Chen Lin's departure from the academy.

"Student Jiang Chen, I apologize for the trouble caused by members of my academy."

The Dean of the Flame Path Academy clasped his hands in a gesture of apology towards Jiang Chen.

"Dean, there's no need, this is not your fault at all!"

Jiang Chen quickly returned the gesture.

"This matter has nothing to do with Phoenix girl, I hope Student Jiang Chen won't hold it against her!"

The Flame Path Dean glanced at Fire Phoenix, speaking again.

Jiang Chen turned to look at Fire Phoenix, who was nervously watching him.

"This matter is unrelated to Sister Fire!"

Jiang Chen spoke softly.

Whew!

Fire Phoenix let out a sigh of relief, patting her heaving chest.

If Jiang Chen resented her, she feared she wouldn't be able to continue at Changlin Academy. Jiang Chen's influence there had reached unprecedented heights, even surpassing people like Jian Cangqiong; he was the life-saving benefactor of everyone at the academy!

The Flame Path Dean smiled gently, glancing at the volcano mouth, speaking softly: "Jiang Chen, you're going down to practice, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"I have a Fire Path Talisman here, you can use it!"

The Flame Path Dean took out a talisman emitting a faint Fire Path aura from the Space Ring.

Everyone around had smiles on their faces, none discontent with the Dean's preferential treatment, as they all believed Jiang Chen deserved the best care.

"Dean, that's unnecessary. Enduring high temperatures is also a form of training."

Jiang Chen chuckled, shaking his head.

The Flame Path Dean was slightly taken aback, nodding in approval, putting away the Fire Path Talisman.

"I'll leave now, if you need help with anything, you can find Phoenix. Her mentor is your teacher, she's not an outsider."

The Flame Path Dean gave a gentle reminder, then vanished from Flame Path Mountain.

"Junior Jiang Chen, I'm sorry, I didn't know Chen Lin would be so reckless and rude!"

Fire Phoenix looked at Jiang Chen apologetically.

"Sister Fire, I said this matter doesn't concern you, but..."

Jiang Chen hesitated, staring straight into Fire Phoenix's eyes: "I don't want to be tested in that way anymore, so please don't do it again!"

"Okay!"

Fire Phoenix nodded hurriedly.

For some reason, facing Jiang Chen, always calm and composed even in front of the Dean, she felt inexplicably flustered.

What's wrong with me? Does this boy possess some magic? Could he be using some enchanting Dao without me realizing?

Fire Phoenix looked at Jiang Chen, who had turned back to face the volcano's interior, with a look of puzzlement in her eyes.
