Chapter 101 - 91: Passersby in Life (2nd Update)
On the shattered Martial Arts Square, many students were filled with hesitation. Although they were all talents from various places, aside from the elite students of the Heavenly Level Academy, the students from the Earth, Xuan and Yellow Three Colleges were merely cultivators below the Innate level. Their strength was not very formidable. Going to the Demon Suppression City, where Demon Beasts wrought havoc, they did not have much ability to protect their own lives. They were more likely to become food for the Demon Beasts.
After considering this, many chose to retreat, but no one blamed them, for knowing that they lacked the strength yet rushing to the battlefield for momentary valor was not courageous, it was foolish.
Facing the retreat of these students, the Crown Prince did not get angry, but it wasn’t just the students from the Three Colleges. Even some of the better elite students from the Heavenly Level Academy chose to withdraw. This disappointed him. With a cold huff, he said, "All useless trash, not even daring to take to the battlefield to kill demons. How will you dare to become true powerhouses in the future?"
The retreating, hesitating elite students of the Heavenly Level Academy turned shades of green and white, looking pretty bad, but faced with the Crown Prince’s questioning, they simply had nothing to say.
Ye Chen couldn’t help but shake his head. Were these so-called elite students of the Heavenly Level Academy? They were just a bunch of cowards. Of course, this was only a part of them and could not be generalized.
The Thirteenth Prince, Li Hu, Hua Shaoyang, and others chose to participate. The lady in red as well as Vivian, both women did the same. Even a considerable number of students from the Earth, Xuan and Yellow Three Colleges resolutely chose to rush to the Demon Suppression City to fight and protect their country.
"Ye Chen, see you tonight!"
The Crown Prince was very cold. His eyes only had Ye Chen as an opponent. He nodded at him, leaving behind these words before turning and leaving, swift as the wind. In a few strides, he was gone, completely disappearing from everyone’s sight.
"Ye Chen, I will be going first. See you tonight!" the Thirteenth Prince said too. The lady in red followed him as they both left. Ye Chen seemed thoughtful as if he understood something.
As for Xia Mang, Li Hu, and even Yang Yi, they all left in a dispirited manner without saying a word.
In the end, Ye Chen also left but did not head to Danxin Palace to find Li Yun. He knew that with the Demon Beast disruption, the much-anticipated auction was unlikely to be held as scheduled.
