"Really?"
Long Chen couldn't help but want to confirm once more.
"Really,"
Luchengkong said with absolute certainty.
Long Chen wished he could go to the Lingxiao Treasure Pavilion right now, but for the matter at hand, he had to handle it first.
Suppressing his excitement, Long Chen looked at the disciples from the branch academy and said, "I know you're very dissatisfied and upset, but you're just too weak—that's the truth."
Of course, if you compete in the arena according to certain rules, you might still be doing well.
But on the bloody and brutal battlefield, there are no rules; to kill the opponent, they will stop at nothing.
The dangers outside are beyond what you can imagine. You have been trapped in a small world, living a peaceful life for far too long. With no sense of crisis, your fighting instincts have already deteriorated.
Of course, it's not your fault that this is your fault. It's the environment that shaped you now. I was about to give up on you, but it was Dean Chengkong who gave you a chance to be reborn. If you seize this chance, then seize it; if not, your life will be completely ruined.
Today is my first day in charge of the academy. As the saying goes, 'three fires when a new official takes office.' My three fires might be burning a bit fiercely.
First, the rules and systems of the First Branch must align with those of the General Hospital. Whether you're used to it or not, you have to accept it.
Second, all positions in the branch academy will be temporarily handed over to the main institute. Remember, I mean temporarily. All branch academy personnel need to cooperate with the handover. After the academy stabilizes, positions will be reassigned based on qualifications, virtue, and ability. "
When Long Chen finished speaking, the senior experts of the branch academy erupted in an uproar, but Long Chen ignored them and said coldly, "
Third, and most importantly, The academy was in chaos, with serious corruption and factionalism, and the system had rotted to the core.
Starting today, everyone in the First Branch must undergo strict investigation and accept evidence and reports. If it is simply resource embezzlement or clique-building, leniency may be considered.
However, during the process, those who harmed lives were punished with their lives, regardless of status or status. When
they heard the words "all pay with their lives," even Bai Letian felt a chill in their hearts. Long Chen's actions were too ruthless. If this continued, with mutual accusations, how many people in the entire First Branch Hospital would survive?
In an instant, countless strong figures from the First Branch changed their expressions, but many young disciples' eyes shone brightly.
"Dean Long Chen..." Bai Letian couldn't help but ask.
"Dean, I have not yet transferred the Great Seal of the First Academy to you, which means I am still the Dean of the First Academy.
Of course, you can also exercise your authority as the president of the General Hospital and revoke your acceptance of my fate. As long as you say the word, I will no longer interfere with this matter. As Long Chen spoke, he held the Great Seal of the First Academy Dean in his hand.
Seeing this, Bai Letian could only sigh helplessly. He knew Long Chen was truly angry, and he intended to use the most domineering method to scrape the bones and cure the poison at the First Branch.
In Bai Letian's view, this approach was unwise and rushed. The safest approach was to trade time for space, first keeping the people in the academy stable, and then proceeding step by step.
But the Hall Master's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Long Chen. He liked Long Chen's decisive and decisive attitude. Since he was convinced he was right, he would carry it out without hesitation.
Seeing Bai Letian sigh helplessly, Long Chen said seriously, "Since I am the dean of the First Academy, I must establish fair laws and order."
Every person's life is precious; no one has the right to arbitrarily deprive or trample on it. The rules cannot be changed just because the perpetrator holds high status or the deceased is weak and humble.
I, Long Chen, have risen step by step from an ant in the mortal realm to be bullied to where I am today, all to prove in this world that we should not bully the weak.
Because the weak are not always weak; when the weak rise again, the whole world will be overturned. When
Long Chen said this, countless disciples of the First Branch Academy's eyes turned feverish, their blood burning hot. Long Chen's words resonated with them.
"Dean Long Chen, I want to report that Elder Xiao Yunyu secretly killed my brother in order to help his disciples compete for a spot on the Earth Ranking. I swear with my soul that everything I said is true." Suddenly, a disciple stepped forward and shouted.
"You... Stop talking nonsense! An elder at the Eight-Vein Heavenly Saint level shouted sternly.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the old man's whole body trembled, spatial fluctuations violent, and someone cried out, "He's trying to escape!" "
Pfft"
Just as he moved, a sword aura shot out. The old man's figure had already started to blur and was about to teleport away, but was struck by the sword energy through his head.
Shocked, they turned to look at Long Chen, only to see he hadn't moved an inch, while Yue Zifeng behind Long Chen slowly sheathed his sword.
Yue Zifeng killed the old man with a single sword strike, terrifying everyone. With this strike, there was no aura leaking or a thunderous roar, yet he effortlessly killed an Eight-Vein Heavenly Saint.
At that moment, Zhao Weizhou, who had previously challenged Xia Chen, felt a chill run down his spine. Yue Zifeng and Xia Chen and the others were clearly on the same level, yet he had just recklessly challenged someone of this level. Now, he wished he could crawl into a hole in the ground.
"It's useless. If the dean can't control the entire academy, then I don't have to be the dean anymore." Long Chen said coldly.
"Whoosh."
At that moment, the Dragonblood warriors instantly scattered, surrounding the area. Their cold gazes sent chills down their spines. Even the Nine Veins Heavenly Saint level experts lacked the courage to break through their sealed circle.
"I'll report ..."
"I'll report too..."
Seeing all the Eight Veins Heavenly Saint experts executed on the spot, countless people stepped forward—some wept bitterly, some gritted their teeth. Clearly, under the rule of those two old villains, the entire academy had decayed.
Then, one elder after another knelt and submitted to the authorities. When all the reports were finished, eighty percent of the academy's senior officials were kneeling on the ground.
As for the disciples, half were also exposed, and under Long Chen's supervision, those victims personally killed their own enemies.
In front of the Lingxiao Divine Hall, rivers of blood had flowed, yet Long Chen's heart remained completely unmoved. He never pitied these people, because when they did evil, they never pitied others.
"Thump, thud...
Countless people suddenly knelt before Long Chen. At that moment, they held no resentment toward him, only endless reverence and gratitude. In the endless darkness, they actually saw the light.
"Dean, I'm sorry!"
After finishing these tasks, Long Chen handed the large seal in his hand to Dean Bai Letian with both hands.
"There's nothing to be sorry for. Maybe what you did was the right choice." Watching those who avenge their great grievances and weep bitterly, Bai Le is happyTian sighed.
If he followed his approach, he would kill some people to set examples, setting an example to warn others. That matter would have been settled. Judging by the academy's development, his approach was correct, but for those in front of him, how unfair it was.
"I was planning to wait until all the affairs were handed over before making the final accounts. I'm getting a bit impatient, and the academy's internal affairs might be chaotic for a while." Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
He had been preoccupied with getting revenge on these people, and only now did he remember that many of them held important positions. Without them, the academy's internal affairs would have to stagnate for a while.
"It's fine. After scraping the bones to cure the poison, you should be healing properly. Take it slow and you'll get better." Bai Letian said.
At this moment, Lu Chengkong looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground, his face full of helplessness, and his eyes filled with deep guilt. If only he had been tougher and not manipulated by the two deputy deans, the First Branch wouldn't be so disgraceful.
"Dean Chengkong, could you please take me to the Lingxiao Treasure Pavilion?"
Finally arranging things at the academy, Long Chen felt a surge of excitement whenever he thought of the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra.
