Chapter 7161 Volunteering

The battleship flew through the sky like a giant beast. The Heavenly Sovereign pressure it exuded caused the heavens to shudder and rumble.

In just a few days, Miao Yin had gained a substantially deeper understanding of Long Chen and his way of doing things. She knew that his goal was to terrify all the academy’s enemies. Although Long Chen had violet blood, dragon blood, and Jiuli blood, and was even a nine star heir, ultimately, it was the first academy that was his home. Enemies had come right to his door, so how could he not be enraged?

Long Chen was going to give a display of dominance, one terror-inspiring move that would save him from having to fight a hundred smaller battles later. All the people who dared to have any thoughts on the academy would be cowed. Certainly, for that, nothing short of a massacre would suffice. He had to kill anyone and everyone who stood in his way. But if he succeeded, then all the other branch academies would also benefit. Anyone who dared to target them would have to reconsider the consequences. Would they be able to endure his wrath?

Thus, Miao Yin had even brought out this hidden trump card of hers. In order to unleash the battleship’s pressure, she was spending a great deal of her savings.

This battleship was exactly what it seemed: an ancient relic from the primal chaos era. A portion of its runes were damaged, causing its power to drop. But in that era, a battleship on this level would be enough to terrifying countless people. Unfortunately, activating a battleship on his level was not something an average person could afford. It was a money-sucking machine.

Miao Yin had saved for so many years, but now, she had hardened her heart and made her resolve. She was going to go wild with Long Chen. His peerlessly domineering style was something she wanted to emulate; it was the epitome of what she wanted to be. That feeling of looking down on all the nine heavens made her understand what true dominance was!

The academy’s disciples stood atop the battleship. The strong murderous air set their blood ablaze, and they stared at the figure standing at the very front with fervent gazes. Only now did they realize just how different the academy was without Long Chen. In the past, they had felt that the academy had simply bestowed Long Chen with a bright halo for his benefit. But now they knew that it was Long Chen who was the true soul of the first academy.

Miao Yin and Zi Yan stood by his side. They watched the scenery flying by them. Miao Yin said, “Young Master, where are we stopping first? We can go faster if you want.”

“Our first stop is the Immortal Ascension Gate. This speed is fine. If we go too fast, they won’t have time to gather reinforcements!” replied Long Chen.

Although he said it calmly, those words were filled with unquestionable confidence, and hearing him, the academy’s disciples clenched their fists tightly. Back then, their enemies had planned for who knew how long in order to gather so many different factions and attack the first academy. As for Long Chen, he was using his actions to tell everyone that all that scheming and planning had been just a joke.

Those crafty old fellows spent all their time scheming because they had no hope of ever getting stronger. But these young disciples were like the rising sun; they had limitless potential. If they spent their time scheming instead of stimulating their potential, they would be incurably foolish.

After countless deaths, the academy’s disciples had understood this and many other things. Thinking back to their old selves, they had an urge to slap themselves in the face.

“Young Master, I have one question. Can I ask you for advice?” said Miao Yin suddenly.

“You want to ask about that stubborn old man I criticized?” Long Chen smiled slightly.

Miao Yin nodded. She found it curious that Long Chen would permit such a person to remain a higher-up considering his decisive nature.

Long Chen looked at Miao Yin. “I did so based on the principle of Yin complementing Yang. If a faction wants to grow, it cannot be based on just one person. There needs to be many pillars working together. They must support each other, but also restrain each other.

“I know very well that my character is too ferocious. If everyone under me was the same, then the first academy would be like a chariot with no brakes running down a hill. It would go faster and faster until it went out of control. That’s why a good leader needs people who both support and restrict them.

“Contrary to an individual person’s growth, a large faction requires steadiness over speed. That elder’s words were not wrong, but his timing was bad. Furthermore, some opportunities will not come back once you let them pass you. But even though I don’t like him, the academy still needs him. The academy is like a giant person, with a conservative and progressive faction being its legs. They must maintain balance, or it is all too easy to stumble. But if you stand still, you will only be left behind.”

The academy’s disciples were quite startled by Long Chen’s speech, especially the likes of Zhao Yue, Du Xinhe, Ye Qiuhong, and the others.

They were all qualified to compete over the position of dean. At the same time, they knew that Long Chen couldn’t stay in the academy forever, and if someone suitable expressed the will to do it, Long Chen would immediately let them take over. They had thought that after becoming dean, they could lead the academy onto a new path based on their own characters.

But after hearing this, they realized that overseeing such a large force was not as easy as they had imagined, and actually leading it to growth was another challenge altogether. In comparison, raising their cultivation base was child’s play. Thinking of that, they really felt like naive children compared to Long Chen.

Miao Yin was also surprised. Although she had some experience overseeing and raising her own force, she also felt like she was lacking compared to Long Chen. What impressed her in particular was that Long Chen truly didn’t waste much time scheming; he put the majority of his focus on cultivation. In other words, he didn’t spend much time in this regard, but he still had such deep insights into it. Such a thing could no longer be described as simply genius. No, he had to be classified as a monster.

“Young master, can you let me lead the attack this time?” asked Miao Yin with an excited and expectant look in her eyes. Considering her goals, Miao Yin had imagined many times how these kinds of battles would go, yet she had never had a chance to carry something like this out. But now, her chance had come. Her heart was pounding hard.

Long Chen eyed Miao Yin. At first, he wanted to refuse. But seeing that look in her eyes, his heart softened. He couldn’t help saying, “You should understand the goal of this battle!”

His meaning was very clear. He wanted not to win, but to crush all the opposition. If she could not harden her heart and be ruthless, his goal would not be achieved. This was no game.

“I can do it!” swore Miao Yin.

Long Chen nodded. “Alright. Then I leave it to you!”

“I swear to live up to your expectations, Young Master!” Miao Yin was incredibly excited, to the point that her face reddened.

The battleship continued onwards. Three days later, they arrived in front of a massive gate, and down below, they saw an army so numerous they couldn’t even start counting.

Miao Yin stepped forward, letting her robes billow in the wind. Her icy voice echoed throughout the air.

“In accordance with Dean Long Chen’s orders, we will flatten the Immortal Ascension Gate today. After the count of three, anyone remaining inside the Immortal Ascension Gate will be slaughtered!

“Three!

“Two!

“One!”

Right as she finished counting, the battleship reached the gate. Miao Yin truly didn’t give the other side any chance to reply. The massive battleship slammed into the Immortal Ascension Gate’s barrier.

BOOM!

The barrier, which was at full power, shattered like an eggshell. The battleship barged right in, and Miao Yin’s voice rang out once more.

“Kill them all!”

The disciples came flooding out. Roars of slaughter shook the air.
