Bai Han looked at the shocked and excited look of the participants and continued to explain:
"For this generation’s trial, we have decided to focus on strength and power above everything else, so all the teachers have voted that the last four spots that were previously guaranteed to these champions would be added to four other Heaven Chosens instead."
"Although we are sorry for the four champions of this year’s Professional Competition, the Academy will do its best to repay all of you."
Many people became excited after hearing this as this new rule increased the chance of them acquiring a spot. As for the alchemist and array master, they were all shocked and angered.
They were always considered the most respected professions of this world. Everywhere they went, people always received them with the utmost respects. Rules were always modified to be in their favors, but now...
The ones that were the most surprised by this new change in rules were the Alchemists--as they hold the most power in this world. With the ability to create pills that can save people’s lives, increased cultivation level, and even increased talents, they have received the utmost respect and adoration in society.
However, now, the Emperor Enlightening Academy is telling them that their expertise was not needed in this generation, only strength and power is valued by them.
So, they became angry out of shame, but they did not know what to do; it’s not like they could challenge the Academy.
Meanwhile, back in the floating booth that Wang Wei was in, he instantly pulverized the cup of tea that was in his hand after hearing what Bai Han said, then he looked deeply at the headmaster.
Even so far away, Bai Han felt a powerful gaze locking on his position; it was like a desolate beast was staring at its prey, and he could guess who that gaze belonged to, but he ignored it.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei took a deep breath to calm himself down, as he took a talisman from his space ring as he received a communication invite.
"Big brother, what should I do now?" The voice at the end of the talisman was actually Yan Liling.
Wang Wei’s mind quickly moved at a rapid speed as he thought of a possible plan, then he said: "I need you to make a public scene, then fly away and return to your residence."
"That’s it?"
"That’s it."
After cutting off the communication, Yan Liling took a while for a brief moment to gather her thoughts, then she snorted out loud.
However, this was not just a regular snort, but one where she used her origin essence with. So, all the millions of people in the arena and the ones that were watching from formations heard her.
To be precise, the majority of cultivators in the world heard her.
More importantly, Yan Liling’s snort actually interrupted Bai Han’s speech, bringing everyone’s attention to the person who interrupted the headmaster of the Enlightening Emperor Academy from speaking.
When everyone’s gaze was on Yan Liling, she did not show any panic or change of expression--well at least not on the surface. She secretly regulated her breath before saying:
"Since the Academy does not respect us professionals, then that means we are not welcome here, so I’ll take my leave."
Her voice was as loud if not louder than her previous snort. After expressing her opinions, Yan Liling flew away in front of countless cultivators watching her; she did not look back for even a moment.
All the people were first baffled by her actions, but soon all the professional’s eyes lit up, and they followed her. One by one, they flew away and left the venue.
All the cultivators attending the event watched as all the alchemists, talisman makers, array masters and refiners flew away one by one. Of course not all of them left; the ones who stayed were the ones from a low background and needed the resources of this event to further their study.
Meanwhile Bai Hai tried very hard to control his facial expression as he knew that he was in public. However, the bulging vein on his forehead that was constantly throbbing proved that he was not as calm as he looked.
He realized that he might have made a mistake to target the Dao Opening Sect by changing the rules, and he had a feeling that things were not going to end so easily.
And he was right. After Yan Liling and all the other professionals left, Wang Wei looked at Bai Han that was floating in the air with a sneer on his mouth. Then, he took out another talisman and contacted someone:
