Lin Xian’s head suddenly exploded, with blood and brain splattered everywhere!

Some of the blood, mixed with faint signs of sword intent, landed on that young man’s body. Overcome by shock, he screamed uncontrollably.

That headless body fell onto the ground with a thud, twitching a few times before becoming still.

Lin Xian… was dead!

His screams attracted the attention of everyone around him. A crowd quickly gathered around and started gossiping.

“W-What happened?!”

“These… are traces of sword intent! There’s sword intent mixed in this person’s blood. The one who did this is certainly a sword cultivator. However, who could it be?”

“I didn’t see anyone attacking him earlier.”

“This sword intent didn’t come from the outside. Instead, it exploded from within. Someone imbued a strand of sword qi inside him and ignited it later on.”

“It’s Chu Kuangren!”

The young man, who was following Lin Xian, suddenly thought of something and exclaimed as he recalled what Chu Kuangren did earlier.

Chu Kuangren pointed his finger at Lin Xian’s forehead just now. Then, only a few steps out of the Scripture Sea, Lin Xian’s head exploded.

Who would possibly believe that Chu Kuangren was not responsible for that?

During that time, Chu Kuangren was sitting by a window in the Scripture Sea with the sun shining on him, reading a book leisurely.

Judging from his handsome appearance, otherworldly aura, and peaceful demeanor, Lin Xian’s death did not matter to him at all.

Everyone looked at him with a cautious expression.

To their surprise, Lin Xian, a Sixth-grade Earthen Immortal, was killed by him using some unknown technique.

A move like that made everyone cautious of Chu Kuangren. They even felt… afraid!

“It seems like Chu Kuangren has hidden his strength well.”

“Sure enough, a Heavenly Champion is not someone to be messed with.”

Everyone was engaged in a discussion.

Meanwhile, the manager of the White Deer Academy’s Scripture Sea arrived. He looked at Chu Kuangren and asked sternly. “Do you have anything to do with Lin Xian’s death? Was it you who killed him?”

Chu Kuangren nodded gently. “Yeah.”

He answered blatantly without denying it.

He did insert a strand of sword qi inside Lin Xian by pointing his finger on the latter’s forehead earlier, and he also carefully timed when it would ignite.

With his level of sword qi control, it was not hard for him to do something like that. Moreover, judging by Lin Xian’s abilities, there was no way he could defend himself from it too.

“You have violated one of the rules of the Hundred Academy.”

“According to the Hundred Academy’s rules, we’re not allowed to harm anyone inside the Scripture Sea. However, as you can see, I didn’t kill him inside the Scripture Sea but outside,” Chu Kuangren said calmly.

“You…”

The Scripture Sea’s manager did not know how to refute him.

Meanwhile, the young man with Lin Xian earlier immediately took a deep breath and left in a hurry.

Perhaps he was afraid, or perhaps he was going to report it to the higher-ups.

However, Chu Kuangren could not care less as he did not violate the Hundred Academy’s rules. Furthermore, the Scripture Sea could not do anything to him as he was a Heavenly Champion.

Hence, he continued reading inside the Scripture Sea.

Over the last three years, he had read through almost all the collection of books inside the White Deer Academy’s library. With the help of his Scholarly Snowpeak Heart, his learning rate had increased to an unbelievable level.

Three months later, a young man arrived hovering outside the White Deer Academy.

That young man had a cold expression, with ferocious qi swirling around him. Seeing him, everyone could not help but gasp and keep a distance from him.

“If I’m not mistaken, he must be Lin Jue of Inksnow Academy.” One of the students recognized him.

“You’re right. It is him.”

“What is he doing in the White Deer Academy?”

“Don’t you know? A few months ago, when Lin Xian came to our academy looking for reference material, he got into a conflict with Chu Kuangren, who killed him. I suppose Lin Jue, as his elder brother, must be here to take revenge.”

“Well, it sure seems that way.”

“It looks like things are going to get interesting now.”

Standing outside the Scripture Sea with his dense ferocious qi surging everywhere, Lin Jue said coldly, “Chu Kuangren, come out and meet your end!”

From asking around, he learned that Chu Kuangren was still inside the Scripture Sea. He must take revenge for Lin Xian’s death no matter the cost.

Following Lin Jue’s challenge to battle, the students inside the Scripture Sea began talking about it, and they all looked at Chu Kuangren sitting in the corner.

At that time, Chu Kuangren was sitting with his legs crossed and his Immortal Consciousness wandering within the Scripture Sea, learning all sorts of knowledge.

He turned a deaf ear to Lin Jue’s challenge.

Frankly speaking, he could not even bother with it.

When the students saw his non-existent reaction, more of them inside the Scripture Sea started talking about him. They were debating whether Chu Kuangren was afraid to go out or not.

“Silence.” Just then, the Scripture Sea’s manager uttered.

It was only after that everyone quieted down.

“Not coming out, are you? Very well. Let’s see how long you intend to hide inside the Scripture Sea!” Outside the Scripture Sea, Lin Jue snorted before sitting down on the ground as if blocking the exit of the building.

No one was allowed to harm anyone inside the Scripture Sea.

Since that was the case, he decided to sit and wait until Chu Kuangren came out. He was confident that Chu Kuangren could not hide inside for long.

He refused to believe that a Heavenly Champion would cower from battle and do nothing after being the academy’s laughingstock.

The manager looked at Lin Jue. When he realized that the latter would not leave until he killed Chu Kuangren, he frowned. “It looks like this matter is getting quite serious. I should notify the White Deer Academy’s Dean and others so that they’ll come to handle this.”

He could not make decisions rashly since the matter involved a Heavenly Champion.

With that, the manager sent a message to the White Deer Academy’s Dean.

Soon after, the clouds in the sky tumbled as a white Immortal Deer glided in the air. On its back, an elderly man was riding it.

The elderly man was wearing white Daoist robes and holding a whisk in his hand. He was the White Deer Academy’s Dean.

Besides the White Deer Academy’s Dean, Inksnow Academy’s Dean and Planquilon Academy’s Dean arrived right after.

After all, the two parties involved in the matter were people from those two academies.

“Greetings, honorable Deans.”

The students quickly greeted.

However, mostonly greeted the White Deer Academy and Inksnow Academy’s Dean. As for the Planquilon Academy’s Dean, he had seemingly become an invisible man to them.

That was because, besides Chu Kuangren, there was no one else worth mentioning in Planquilon Academy, and that included their Dean.

That academy was the weakest overall…

It was not a joke.

Unlike the Inksnow Academy, which was at least on the lower average among the nineteen academies, the Planquilon Academy was much weaker than them.

“Alright, you two. Tell me how we should settle this,” the White Deer Academy’s Dean said calmly.

Since it was not his students causing trouble, he naturally pushed the responsibility to the Inksnow Academy’s Dean and Planquilon Academy’s Dean.

“A life for a life. It seems fine to me.” The Inksnow Academy’s Dean, who was an elderly woman, looked at the Planquilon Academy’s Dean and said coldly.

“Oh, but according to what I know, Lin Xian insulted Master Chu first,” the Planquilon Academy’s Dean said.

Although he was not as strong as the Inksnow Academy’s Dean, he would not allow her to bully him. After all, he did not think Chu Kuangren was at fault here.

“Killing someone just because of what they said, and someone who was one of the most excellent students of my Inksnow Academy at that? Chu Kuangren is way too arrogant. If you ask me, I say we abolish his status as a Heavenly Champion and hand his will of the Immortal World to someone else,” the Inksnow Academy’s Dean said.

“You want his identity as a Heavenly Champion.”

“Hmph. Just look at what he’s been up to all these years, burying himself in those books in the Scripture Sea for so long, and he hasn’t even cultivated. I bet he must be crippled of his cultivation. Why doesn’t he just hand out the will of the Immortal World now? I bet many more are more qualified than him to be the Heavenly Champion. Look at Lin Jue here. He seems like the right fit. I shall raise this matter with the Famed Master Pavilion,” the Inksnow Academy’s Dean said.

However, as soon as she said that, a sudden powerful burst of Dao fluctuation erupted from the Scripture Sea.

From the void, a mighty and majestic snow-capped mountain appeared. A surge of freezing qi emerged and spread everywhere, enveloping the whole White Deer Academy within it.

The eyes of the few academies’ Deans widened, their faces full of astonishment.

“T-This is…”
