Chen Dongfeng was stunned.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t considered this question; it was just that he didn’t dare to extend such an invitation.
The power that Luo Tian had erupted was indeed quite terrifying. Just the fact that he killed Yin Wuliang of the Great Diffusion realm with his Martial Void 5th rank cultivation was enough to explain everything. Not everyone could kill someone above their level, and to leap five small realms was a testimony of a fierce existence.
In his heart, Luo Tian had reached this terrifying existence level.
There was just one thing he couldn’t figure out, and that was Luo Tian’s dantian!
The instant Luo Tian erupted with such powerful strength, he couldn’t help but observe Luo Tian’s body. When he discovered that Luo Tian’s dantian was shattered, his heart sank. He could only sigh to himself, “What a pity!”
It was exactly because of this that he didn’t dare to extend the invitation.
Luo Tian looked at Chen Dongfeng’s shocked expression and could only smile bitterly before saying, “My dantian is shattered, and my talent is zero grade. I probably won’t be able to become a special admissions student…”
Chen Dongfeng still had a shocked expression as he hadn’t expected Luo Tian to say it himself. He immediately stepped forward and said seriously, “City Lord Luo, no matter what your talent is or what your dantian is, there’s one thing that makes you strong enough. You killed someone in the Great Diffusion realm while in the Martial Void 5th rank. I don’t know how you did it, but to my knowledge, no one has ever been able to do it. Even the Hai family’s Crown Prince couldn’t do it back then. You’re the first person I know of to do it.”
These were words of comfort.
Of course, they were also what Chen Dongfeng truly felt in his heart.
Luo Tian smiled and said, “So what? I still can’t become a special admissions student.”
Chen Dongfeng instantly fell silent.
In his heart, he wanted to take Luo Tian to Misty Cloud City more than once. He wanted to tell the elders of the Misty Cloud Academy that Luo Tian could defy the heavens and kill someone several small realms above him. But who would believe him? If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it himself either.
Therefore, he hesitated.
Looking at Luo Tian’s somewhat listless expression, Chen Dongfeng bit his lip and said, “City Lord Luo, do you trust us?”
The elderly man next to him was slightly startled by those words and instantly furrowed his brow. He gently tugged at Chen Dongfeng’s sleeve, signaling him not to mess around.
Luo Tian replied, “I naturally trust you two.”
Chen Dongfeng then said, “Good, it’s enough that you trust us. I’ll take you to the Misty Cloud Academy. I’ll risk my reputation to speak my mind, and I’ll definitely use all my strength to recommend you. I don’t know if it’ll succeed, but I’ll do everything I can.”
Thinking about the words he had just spoken, Chen Dongfeng laughed self-deprecatingly, “I must have lost my mind or something!”
A shattered dantian meant one couldn’t absorb the yuan energy of heaven and earth.
Zero grade talent meant no potential.
Not to mention the Misty Cloud Academy; even the lowest-level academy wouldn’t want a martial artist like that.
Yet now, he had said that he would take Luo Tian to the Misty Cloud Academy. Wasn’t that the words of a madman?
He would probably be laughed at by everyone.
He might become the biggest joke in Misty Cloud City or even the entire Central Continent. But so what?
Chen Dongfeng then said to himself, “So what if they see me as a joke? If it can make the Misty Cloud Academy stronger, so what if I’m laughed at? Once he succeeds and receives proper systematic training, Luo Tian’s potential will definitely become even greater!” 𝖗áΝÖBÊ𝐒
He firmly believed this!
Luo Tian was actually a bit surprised by Chen Dongfeng’s words. He had only been saying it casually since he was very clear about his own situation.
He had originally wanted to reveal that he had passed the first round of assessments, but after hearing Chen Dongfeng’s words, Luo Tian didn’t say it. If he said he was a disciple from Towering Cloud City who had passed the assessment, it might attract unnecessary trouble.
The Hai family!
Once his name appears on the second round of assessment list, the Hai family will definitely send out assassins again.
It is very likely that he would be assassinated before he can even reach the Misty Cloud City.
A Myriad Illusion realm expert was an existence that could absolutely crush him, so he wanted to avoid that as much as possible.
Right now, Luo Tian wanted to save his transformation cards only for the most critical moments.
Luo Tian immediately became happy, “Really? You can really take me to the Misty Cloud Academy, too?”
Before Chen Dongfeng could speak, the elderly man next to him smiled apologetically and said, “City Lord Luo, please wait a moment.”
After saying that, he pulled Chen Dongfeng to the side and said in a low voice, “Are you crazy? Didn’t we agree on the way here? His dantian is shattered, and his talent is destined to be zero grade. If you take him for testing, aren’t you letting those people at the academy laugh at us? We’re already so old, so why give others a chance to mock us?”
Chen Dongfeng replied, “Old Xu, it’s precisely because we’re old that we can no longer do much for the academy. Others don’t know, but don’t you? You saw the power that City Lord Luo erupted with your own eyes. Are you willing to let such a person with unlimited potential be lost?”
Old Man Xu frowned and said, “We know that, but do the people at the academy know that? Even if we talk until our throats are dry, I’m afraid no one will believe us, right? We can’t very well have him kill a Great Diffusion realm expert on the spot as proof, can we?”
“Old Chen, we’ve gotten old now. If we make a mistake, and those people at the academy who don’t like us laugh at us, I’m afraid we won’t be able to stay at the academy anymore.”
Everyone had their own worries.
Old Xu was someone who sought stability!
He knew Luo Tian’s potential, but the others didn’t. He was worried that because of Luo Tian, the two of them would lose their current positions. They might even be sent back home by the academy, which was something that they absolutely didn’t want to see happen.
Chen Dongfeng was also someone who sought stability. That’s why even when Yin Wuliang spoke with disdain and insulted them, he endured it. It was also because Yin Wuliang’s teacher held a higher position than them at the Misty Cloud Academy. Offending him could easily get them kicked out.
But now, he didn’t know why he was getting all worked up. He just didn’t want Luo Tian to be buried in this Boundless City.
Chen Dongfeng then said, “Old Xu, I’ll take responsibility for his matter alone. You lead those three little guys to be tested. He’ll be with me. If they laugh, they will only laugh at me alone. Anyway, I’m a lone wolf, but you’re different. You still have a family. Once something happens, your silver level family will inevitably be impacted.”
Old Man Xu was stunned by those words. Knowing that he couldn’t persuade Chen Dongfeng, he smiled and said, “Old Chen, what kind of person do you take me for? Since you’ve decided, then we’ll bear this matter together.”
Right after that, he took the lead and walked up to Luo Tian before saying, “We’ve decided that you’ll also come with us to the Misty Cloud Academy. Gold shines wherever it goes. I refuse to believe that no one will recognize its value!”
Chen Dongfeng laughed heartily before saying, “City Lord Luo, we will definitely make you shine brightly. And we will shock the entire Central Continent!”
Luo Tian also started laughing.
Their every word was heard by him. When they made their decision, Luo Tian only smiled on the surface while he said internally, “You guys will tremble at this decision in the future!!!”
