Jiang Chen's cold voice caused countless gazes in the square to converge on him.
"Huh, isn't this our Jiang family's waste of a young master? What is he doing here?"
"I heard that the opportunity for Jiang Yunhong to enter the Lingyun Martial Academy was obtained by the family head at great cost for this waste of a young master. Could this waste of a young master be here for that reason?"
"Heh... Could he possibly take this opportunity back?"
"Exactly, with the family head not around, the family is ruled by the Great Elder. How could he possibly give such an opportunity to this waste?"
"..."
Seeing Jiang Chen appear in the square, many of the Jiang family disciples couldn't help but reveal mocking expressions.
Jiang Chen's sudden appearance also caused Jiang Qianhe and Jiang Yunhong's expressions to change slightly.
"Jiang Chen, don't spout nonsense here!"
"I admit that the opportunity to enter the Lingyun Martial Academy was obtained by the family head for our Jiang family."
"You are the family head's only son, but you are a born waste. You are still at the second level of Body Tempering. What qualifications do you have to get the opportunity to enter the Lingyun Martial Academy?"
Jiang Yunhong stared at Jiang Chen with disdain, sneering.
Three months ago, Jiang Yunhong failed the new student assessment at the Lingyun Martial Academy.
At sixteen years old, he no longer had the chance to take the Lingyun Martial Academy's assessment.
This opportunity in front of him was his only chance to enter the Lingyun Martial Academy for cultivation.
No matter what, Jiang Yunhong would not let this waste ruin his good fortune.
"I don't have the qualifications, but you, who failed the Lingyun Martial Academy's assessment, don't seem much better, do you?"
Jiang Chen was completely unfazed by Jiang Yunhong's mocking words and retorted directly.
Hearing this, Jiang Yunhong's face instantly turned extremely dark.
The vast Great Xia Kingdom was divided into nine regions, each with its own Martial Academy.
The Martial Academies not only supervised their respective regions but were also responsible for recruiting students to cultivate talent for the Great Xia Kingdom.
The Lingyun Martial Academy was the holy ground of cultivation that all martial cultivators in the Lingyun region aspired to.
The Lingyun Martial Academy's assessment was extremely strict, selecting only the best of the best.
Three months ago, Jiang Yunhong, due to a moment of carelessness, lost the opportunity to enter the Lingyun Martial Academy.
Now, being publicly reminded of this by Jiang Chen, a waste, a flash of anger and embarrassment crossed Jiang Yunhong's eyes.
"Jiang Chen, even if I didn't pass the Lingyun Martial Academy's assessment, I'm still better than you, who has been stuck at the second level of Body Tempering for two years!"
"The opportunity to enter the Lingyun Martial Academy is extremely precious. For the future of the family, this opportunity should naturally be given to the most promising young disciple in the family."
"Jiang Chen, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you can defeat me, I guarantee I will hand over the opportunity to enter the Lingyun Martial Academy with both hands!"
"Your words are somewhat fair, at least they sound like something a person would say."
Jiang Chen gave Jiang Yunhong a faint glance, not waiting for him to get angry, and looked up at Jiang Qianhe: "Great Elder, what is your opinion?"
"The opportunity to enter the Lingyun Martial Academy should naturally be given to the most promising young member of the Jiang family."
Jiang Qianhe frowned slightly, feeling something was off, but still nodded.
Among the young generation of the Jiang family, those more promising than Jiang Yunhong had already entered the Lingyun Martial Academy, and the rest were not worth considering.
As for this well-known waste of the Jiang family, he was even less likely to pose any threat to Jiang Yunhong.
"Great Elder, always thinking of the family, I admire you greatly. Since that's the case..."
A hint of a strange smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth, and he directly raised his hand, beckoning to Jiang Yunhong.
"Jiang Yunhong, come out and fight me!"
