Consuming lifespan to draw rewards, I'm invincible in the apocalypse!

"..."

Jiang Yi glanced at Sha Wujing with a complicated expression.

However, he didn't say much, but instead replied very politely:

"Thank you, you're such a good kid."

"..." Sha Wujing's expression also became complicated.

A moment later, a voice transmission suddenly sounded in Jiang Yi's mind:

"You really aren't a Ninth Tribulation cultivator."

"It's too obvious. A true Ninth Tribulation cultivator would never say 'thank you' to me."

"And the way you're talking..." Sha Wujing's tone was somewhat complicated, "You wouldn't happen to be some old thing who's lived for hundreds or thousands of years and has a second identity, would you?"

"..."

Jiang Yi wasn't surprised; this guy could tell right away that he wasn't a Ninth Tribulation cultivator.

After all, he didn't have Jiu Jie's memories, nor did he know how Jiu Jie interacted with people.

Anyone you run into should be able to expose him.

However, in a world where the strong rule, the truth is not important.

With Little Silver Dragon as his backer, let alone "pointing out an oddity as a crime," he could even imitate Zhao Gao and call a deer a horse without any problem.

Therefore, he certainly didn't need to make excuses.

They didn't even bother to explain the speculation that it was "something hundreds or thousands of years old".

His lack of explanation was interpreted by Sha Wujing as tacit agreement.

This last remaining seed of Wuliang Academy is actually quite intelligent.

His eyes darted around slightly, and he seemed to have thought of something. He then transmitted his voice to Jiang Yi:

"If your primary identity has truly survived for quite some time, then your strength must be considerable. In a crucial moment, you might just be the one protecting me."

"Anyway, we are now the only two remaining top talents among the Boundless Academy. Once we enter the Realm Battlefield, we will cooperate sincerely and help each other to see if we can win back some honor for the Boundless Academy."

Jiang Yi was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Unexpectedly, this kid, despite his arrogance, is actually quite intelligent.

Moreover, one second he's arrogant, the next he can see the reality and acknowledge his strength.

This shows that he is not only intelligent, but also broad-minded.

Come to think of it, this guy was able to survive until now under the suppression of the Longevity Academy and win the title of seed-level genius of the Boundless Academy, so he certainly couldn't have relied on strength alone.

Otherwise, why is it that Jiu Jie died, Qiu Fu betrayed him, yet he is still alive and well?

Once Jiang Yi understood these things, he nodded again towards Xunwu.

Seeing this, Xunwu reached out his hand and said, "Then, let's add each other as friends?"

Jiang Yi nodded again and added him as a friend.

After the students had received their battlefield tokens, the dean told them to gather at Destiny Square.

Although he was called City Lord Woruo, he still had some things to tell the geniuses of the two academies.

As a result, students from both academies gathered at Destiny Square once again.

Destiny Square is large enough and not far from both academies, so it is often used as a meeting place for special events of the two academies.

When Jiang Yi arrived with the students from Wuliang Academy, he found that the entire Destiny Square had been cleared out in advance.

At first glance, all you see are students; there are no unrelated "tourists" in sight.

And it's quite obvious—

The students of the Longevity Academy were more numerous and more arrogant.

Furthermore, the two schools seem to have a tacit understanding regarding their seating arrangement when gathering at Destiny Square.

The students from the Longevity Academy were clearly standing closer to the center of the square.

The students of Wuliang Academy mostly stood on the outer edges.

Jiang Yi didn't care about positions or anything like that.

After all, given these students' abilities, their hearing and vision are not affected by where they stand.

However, just as he was too lazy to move and was about to casually stand in the student line of Wuliang Academy.

Xunwu, who was standing nearby, pulled him and said, "Come on, let's go to the central area."

"..."

Xunwu seemed to see the speechlessness in his eyes, and explained:

"If even we don't dare to stand in the center, Boundless Academy will only be looked down upon more and more!"

"Moreover, this is a gathering of students from both academies convened by the city lord. Even if the students from the Longevity Academy in the central district dislike us, they will at most engage in verbal sparring; they would never actually fight in front of the city lord."

"Don't worry, I'm not only strong, but I'm also a master at arguing."

"If you're too lazy to argue with anyone later, I'll step in!"

This Xunwu classmate is really quite righteous.

He probably realized that Jiang Yi was rather aloof and obviously not good at arguing, so he took over the task of arguing.

Jiang Yi didn't care about his position or the taunts from others.

However, after hearing Xunwu say that, I couldn't help but ask:

"What would happen if someone couldn't hold back and attacked in front of the city lord?"

Xunwu was taken aback by the question, then frowned: "Have you heard something?"

Jiang Yi asked in confusion, "What? I should have heard of something?"

Xun Wu pursed his lips, not replying verbally, but instead sending a private message to Jiang Yi via friend chat:

This city lord appears selfless and dutifully maintains order in the City of Myriad Races. But in reality, his heart lies with the Academy of Immortality!

Therefore, if someone actually takes action, the students of the Longevity Academy and the Boundless Academy will be treated differently.

For example, if the Longevity Academy attacks first, and the Boundless Academy retaliates, then both sides will receive the same punishment.

However, if Wuliang Academy strikes first, then the principle of "whoever strikes first bears greater responsibility" will apply.

Wow, is this really so biased?

Jiang Yi then replied: "So if the Longevity Academy makes the first move, the Boundless Academy can only take the beating without being able to fight back?"

What kind of trashy academy is this?

When Xunwu saw this sentence, he thought Jiang Yi was talking about the trash from the Changsheng Academy.

Then Jiang Yi asked him the following question: "Why did you stay in such a terrible academy?"

"..."

no? ?

So you're saying Wuliang Academy is a trash academy?!

What the hell is this logic?

The city lord favors the Longevity Academy and suppresses the Boundless Academy at every turn, yet this has become the fault of the Boundless Academy?

But yes.

In my impression, those ancient people who have lived for thousands of years do indeed have rather rigid thinking.

Those old-fashioned people clearly believe in the absolute principle of "might makes right".

In other words, all right and wrong are judged by the standard of "strength and weakness".

Strength is right, weakness is wrong.

This idea is still popular among many players today.

Xunwu sighed softly to himself, without attempting to criticize or correct Jiang Yi's thinking.

However, it did answer Jiang Yi's question:

From the perspective of Changsheng Academy suppressing Wuliang Academy, a prodigy like me really shouldn't stay at Wuliang Academy...

However, if we look at the two academies individually, the atmosphere within the Longevity Academy is actually far inferior to that of the Boundless Academy.

Many students at the Longevity Academy appear glamorous and superior to those at the Boundless Academy in public. However, within their own academy, they may be the ones who are suppressed and looked down upon.

In my opinion, the Longevity Academy is a trash academy; it's better to avoid a place like that.

Wow, this kid has such high moral character!

Jiang Yi looked on with some surprise.

However, he soon learned the real reason why Xunwu had "high ideological awareness".

He pursed his lips slightly and added:

Actually, my race once had a prodigy who went to the Academy of Immortality...

Oh wow, there's a story behind this.

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow and asked with great interest, "And then? Your race's prodigy suffered an accident and became a cripple, and was then expelled from the Longevity Academy?"

The first thing that came to his mind was this old trick.

However, Xunwu shook his head with a solemn expression: "No."

He seemed somewhat reluctant to speak, so he continued by sending messages.
