Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Let Jun Xiaoyao Become the Holy Son of the Academy
Many people were filled with dread, their souls trembling.
They felt that if they were to face Jun Xiaoyao's move, even before the punch arrived, just the aura alone would be enough to shatter their resolve.
"This boxing technique carries a true meaning of reincarnation. Could it be that the Jun family's divine son gained it through the fifty levels of rewards?" Some sharp-eyed elders speculated.
But regardless, everyone understood.
After this battle, Jun Xiaoyao would likely secure his position as the number one among the younger generation in the Immortal Domain.
Unless another prodigy emerged who could shake Jun Xiaoyao's status and defeat him.
But was that even possible?
Some thought of the Ancestor Dragon's Nest's Long Aotian, the Young Emperor of the Northern Earth Wang family, and the reincarnation of the Sword Demon from the Ancient Ye family, among others.
However, those top-tier prodigies were currently in seclusion, undergoing their own ascensions, and had yet to enter the world.
"Although there are many prodigious talents yet to emerge, the Jun family's divine son has already begun to exhibit an invincible demeanor. It will be difficult for other talents to challenge his position."
"Indeed, not to mention others, even the ancient freak, Princess Long Ji, has been disregarded by the Jun family's divine son, hasn't she?"
Jun Xiaoyao's performance this time, whether it was breaking through the fifty levels of the Heavenly Dao Tower or effortlessly crushing the Golden-Winged Peng King and Fa Hai, left everyone in awe.
After a while, the Golden-Winged Peng King and Fa Hai finally managed to crawl out of the pit with great difficulty.
Yes, that's right, they crawled out bit by bit.
Both of them were covered in blood, looking utterly disheveled.
Unlike their earlier arrogance, the Golden-Winged Peng King now looked at Jun Xiaoyao with an unprecedented fear in his eyes.
That kind of boxing intent was terrifying, as if it could pull a person into an endless cycle of reincarnation.
The Golden-Winged Peng King had never seen such a horrifying boxing technique.
His invincible mindset seemed on the verge of collapse.
Fa Hai felt the same way.
He had come from the Little Western Heaven, filled with confidence, wanting to dominate and have the world chant the name of Buddha.
But now, he was utterly terrified, his Buddhist nature trembling, being gradually pulled into the abyss of demonic nature.
Jun Xiaoyao was his inner demon!
Looking at the two of them crawling out in such a sorry state, Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged.
He hadn't fully unleashed the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist; at this stage, he was still exploring.
However, the power he displayed was indeed satisfying.
Moreover, with his Reincarnation Immortal Seed, it was incredibly convenient for him to comprehend the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist and the Reincarnation Nirvana Light.
"The strength of Dao Brother Xiaoyao is truly astonishing; Qingyi feels ashamed in comparison," Ji Qingyi said softly.
Jun Xiaoyao replied, "Why must the divine maiden be so humble?"
He knew that as the divine maiden of the Ji family and the saintess of the Human Immortal Sect, she must have some hidden cards up her sleeve.
It was just that Ji Qingyi currently lacked the confidence to deal with him.
At that moment, the Grand Elder stepped forward and said to Jun Xiaoyao, "Young friend, your strength is admirable."
Jun Xiaoyao glanced at the Grand Elder, revealing a hint of suspicion.
This Grand Elder had seemed intent on crushing him before; why had his attitude changed so drastically now?
The Grand Elder chuckled, "Young friend Jun, your strength is so formidable, having broken through the fifty levels of the Heavenly Dao Tower and even encountered the Holy Spirit. It seems we are fated to have a connection with the Holy Spirit Academy..."
"Grand Elder, please speak your mind," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Ahem... Well, I wonder if Young Friend Jun would be interested in becoming the Holy Son of our Holy Spirit Academy?"
As soon as the Grand Elder's words fell, the entire venue fell silent.
Wasn't the Holy Spirit Academy previously quite disdainful of Jun Xiaoyao?
If it weren't for a few ancestors of the Jun family threatening to visit the academy for tea, the Holy Spirit Academy probably wouldn't have welcomed Jun Xiaoyao at all.
How could they now want him to become the Holy Son of the academy?
"Grand Elder, this..." The Yin-Yang Holy Son and Xia Lan were also dumbfounded.
Is this even possible?
"You two useless fools, shut up!" the Grand Elder shouted angrily.
The Yin-Yang Holy Son and Xia Lan lowered their heads in frustration.
Only Hua Xiqing revealed a smile, feeling that the academy's decision was truly wise.
"Since Ji Xuan has been defeated by Young Friend, then naturally, you have the qualifications to become the new Holy Son. I wonder what Young Friend thinks?" The Grand Elder rubbed his hands, his old face beaming like a chrysanthemum, making Jun Xiaoyao feel quite uneasy.
Previously, the academy's head had transmitted a message to the Grand Elder about this matter.
The Grand Elder had been quite dismissive and even considered opposing it.
But now, seeing Jun Xiaoyao's performance...
Hmm, this is truly appealing!
Jun Xiaoyao pondered for a moment.
To be honest, he was reluctant to take on the role of the academy's Holy Son.
Being on par with the likes of the Yin-Yang Holy Son was beneath his dignity.
However, since he had promised the Reincarnation Holy Spirit to look after the Holy Spirit Academy, having a reasonable identity wouldn't be bad.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao in thought, the Grand Elder mistakenly believed he was still bothered by the previous provocations from the Yin-Yang Holy Son and others.
With that in mind, the Grand Elder coldly stated, "Yin-Yang Holy Son, Xia Lan, from now on, you two will no longer be Holy Sons of our academy."
"What? Grand Elder, how can you do this?" The two turned pale again.
To win over Jun Xiaoyao, they were being dismissed.
Was there no justice left?
"What? If you have any objections, take them to the academy head," the Grand Elder said, completely unconcerned.
This was the head's order.
The Holy Spirit Academy didn't need to fear the Yin-Yang Sect or the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Very well, since the academy has such sincerity, I shall not refuse," Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
He was only agreeing out of respect for the Reincarnation Holy Spirit.
"Haha, thank you, young friend!" The Grand Elder laughed, completely letting go of past grievances.
This Jun family divine son was becoming more and more likable!
Once everything was settled, the cultivators present suddenly realized that behind Jun Xiaoyao, there were already three terrifying forces.
The Ancient Gu family, the Ancient Jiang family, and a Holy Spirit Academy that even the Immortal forces had to regard with caution.
"The rise of the Jun family divine son is unstoppable," many elder cultivators sighed.
The matter of the Heavenly Dao Tower had come to a close.
News about Jun Xiaoyao would soon spread throughout the Immortal Domain.
Although Jun Xiaoyao was the most dazzling presence, the other members of the Jun family also performed admirably.
The entire Heavenly Dao Tower above the fortieth level was almost dominated by the Jun family's rankings.
This led many to marvel that the Ancient Jun family, with its strong younger generation, was likely to continue its glory.
The Golden-Winged Peng King left in disgrace, not uttering a single harsh word.
Many believed that the Golden-Winged Peng King's mindset had cracked, and he would likely face significant issues in the future.
Fa Hai also departed, his eyes filled with even greater demonic intent.
Jun Xiaoyao had already become his inner demon.
As for Ye Xingyun, he felt somewhat relieved that he had restrained himself from making a move this time.
"Steady, I must be steady. Until I obtain the treasures of the Wujixing Palace, I absolutely cannot confront Jun Xiaoyao," Ye Xingyun thought to himself.
He had already begun planning his descent to the lower realms.
Jun Xiaoyao glanced at Ye Xingyun out of the corner of his eye before retracting his gaze.
Ye Xingyun was already on his list of targets to be cut down.
