Chapter 288: Shu Ling Comes to Apologize
When Jing Yan heard Wu Shen’s words, he didn’t seem to care much, but the people from Divine Wind Academy and Red Lotus Academy were extremely conflicted.
First, Jing Yan, who had obtained the Golden Order, did not consider joining Divine Wind Academy and Red Lotus Academy. Then, there was Wu Shen, who had survived the Heaven Array, publicly declaring his intention to join Dao Yi Academy.
This was definitely a major blow to both academies.
The impact caused by their actions was not merely about their not joining. Among the martial artists who obtained Silver Tokens, there were definitely many who would be influenced by their decisions. Those who originally intended to join Red Lotus Academy or Divine Wind Academy would undoubtedly change their minds and choose Dao Yi Academy instead.
This change of heart among the martial artists was likely not in the minority. There were a total of seventeen martial artists who had obtained Silver Tokens, minus Jing Yan and Wu Shen, leaving about fifteen. These martial artists were all rare talents, each with great potential to reach the Dao Spirit Realm. Naturally, Red Lotus Academy and Divine Wind Academy did not want to lose any of them.
This was the real reason why people from Red Lotus Academy and Divine Wind Academy were so conflicted.
Shang Qu and Huang Luo, the Outer Court Directors from the two academies, were particularly frustrated, but faced with this situation, what could they do other than watch helplessly?
Threaten?
Wu Shen was from the Wu Family, would he fear their threats?
As for Jing Yan, there was even less need to mention it. Jing Yan had publicly challenged Shang Qu, the Outer Court Director of Divine Wind Academy, with a challenge set for three months later. Such a person as Jing Yan, would he fear their threats? What could they use to threaten Jing Yan?
Whispers permeated the commandery prince’s square.
"This year’s examination for the Three Major Academies is now concluded!" Mu Liantian finally announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, you may leave at your discretion."
