Chapter 5180 Try Laughing
Countless experts charged out, their powerful auras radiating outward, but Long Chen ignored them all. Eventually, he reached a platform that seemed to be the future main plaza.
The plaza was under construction but already had its general form. It was crowded with people. As Long Chen stepped onto it, an enormous figure emerged and, without a word, swung a battle-ax straight at Long Chen’s head.
This giant was several meters tall and clearly wasn’t from the human race. Despite that, he was also a disciple of the High Firmament Academy.
Ye Ziwen let out a startled cry from behind Long Chen. “Yang Tu!”
Yang Tu was known for his viciousness within the academy. Not only was he powerful, but he was also notoriously violent and explosive. He was ranked fifth on the Heaven Rankings, but no one had ever challenged him because he was too vicious. The number of experts who had fallen to his hands was unknown, as he was always the one issuing challenges.
Despite facing numerous punishments for his actions, Yang Tu remained unrepentant. He was known as a bloodthirsty maniac within the academy, his brutality leaving a trail of fear and destruction.
“Die!”
Yang Tu launched his attack, summoning his manifestation right and unleashing his strongest attack. The sheer force of his attack made it seem like it would obliterate the plaza and cause widespread destruction.
However, the expected explosion never appeared as a hand covered in starlight caught the battle-ax. The battle-ax’s destructive power vanished without a trace, not even causing a ripple.
“What?!”
Ye Ziwen’s pupils widened. As an expert who got into the top ten of the Heaven Rankings, he realized that Long Chen had absorbed Yang Tu’s power into his own body, neutralizing it with ease.
To do such a thing, Long Chen’s body had to be at least ten times stronger than his opponent’s. Furthermore, the effortless manner in which Long Chen did this left Ye Ziwen stunned.
Long Chen clenched his hand, crushing the battle-ax. Amidst the gasps of shock from the crowd, he delivered a single punch. Specks of starlight danced on his fist as Yang Tu vanished, along with a palace behind him.
With that punch, a massive gulf appeared on the plaza, stretching through the mountains and beyond the horizon. Sweat dripped down Ye Ziwen’s forehead, soaking the bricks beneath him.
He felt a wave of terror, realizing that he was only alive thanks to the blessing of the heavens. Yang Tu was an existence that could crush him in less than ten moves, but Long Chen had dispatched him in a single blow.
“Fifth on the Heaven Rankings… just died? Just like that?”

The spectators were stunned into silence. When they looked at the expressionless Long Chen, their breaths caught in their throats.
This one attack confirmed Long Chen’s status to Ye Ziwen. Back when the “joke” was first made, it was said that Long Chen was unrivaled in the same realm. He could fight across realms as easily as eating meals, his combat power was awe-inspiring, and he killed decisively. No one could block his footsteps.
Of course, at that time, people had burst into laughter at this description. But now, they couldn’t laugh at all.
Suddenly, a delighted cry pierced the silence. Two exquisitely beautiful fairies appeared on the plaza with tear-stained smiles.
“Long Chen!”
“Qingxuan, Shishi!”
Long Chen’s icy expression vanished. After experiencing the brutal slaughter of the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain, Long Chen cherished the warmth of their love even more. Seeing the emotions in their eyes, Long Chen almost melted, his eyes reddening slightly. Yu Qingxuan and Bai Shishi were also moved.
“The dean told us that you came back, and he wanted us to bring you to him. He doesn’t want you to kill too many people right now,” said Yu Qingxuan. Seeing how travel-weary Long Chen looked, she immediately helped him tidy his robes.
“The dean really understands you,” Bai Shishi said, glancing at the devastation around them with a faint smile.
Long Chen smiled bitterly. “The dean is truly wise. Fortunately, he sent you two. If he had sent Guo Ran and Gu Yang, who knows if the High Firmament Academy would still be standing?”
Clearly, every single one of Long Chen’s movements was monitored by dean Bai Letian. Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan held Long Chen’s arms, ignoring everyone else’s odd gazes. With them holding his arms, Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh. Now that the two of them had come, he felt no need to resist. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Just then, a group of experts appeared, their leader being a six-vein Heaven Saint elder. He shouted at them. “Do you think you can just leave?!”
Long Chen glanced at him indifferently. “Should I kill you before going? It won’t take any time anyway.”
“This is dean Long Chen. We’ve told you about him,” Bai Shishi said coldly. “You can discuss things afterward. Are you afraid he might escape?”
When they heard Long Chen’s name, startled cries rang out throughout the crowd. They had not expected the figure they had mocked to be the very person they were dealing with.
That elder’s expression changed a bit, but he still scoffed, “What dean? What a huge joke. The High Firmament Academy has three deans, and none of them is named Long Chen. A little brat that still smells of his mother’s milk dares to call himself a dean? What a huge jok—”
Before he could finish, space quivered, and Long Chen appeared before him in an instant. A hand streaked through the air and slapped him solidly in the face.
BOOM!
Half the elder’s face exploded as he was sent crashing into the ground, leaving a deep crater. The surrounding onlookers scrambled to retreat, their hearts pounding as they sensed the elder’s fading aura.
“Why don’t you try laughing now?” Long Chen asked, standing in the air and looking down coldly at the hole.
