Chapter 600: The Golden Flight of Stairs

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Floating in the sky, the gigantic combat stage was just like the birthplace of the gods. Above the combat stage, the dazzling golden light was so spectacular, it was as if heaven and earth were covered by a golden sea.

The area surrounding the vast combat stage was occupied by students from different spiritual academies. The crowds of people extended into the distance as far as the eye could see.

The students from different spiritual academies all stood in the areas for their academies, which were separated by many light barriers. There were way too many people in the area. Once combat began, these overexcited young bloods might get involved in an extremely chaotic gang fight.

That kind of gang fight had happened before, so normally the Five Great Academies would take precautionary measures to avoid it happening again.

Now all the eyes inside the space were concentrated on the center of the combat stage where golden light was permeating slowly and forming a stage with golden stairs.

The stairway had eight levels that ascended sequentially. The highest level was about 1,000 feet high where the golden light formed the shape of a splendid golden lotus.

This golden stairway was the so-called stairway of the final match. Only the top eight were qualified to stand on that stairway.

Whoosh!

While everyone was looking at the golden stairway, the space above the golden combat stage suddenly twisted. In the next moment, five figures appeared in the air.

When the five figures appeared, golden light condensed behind them and was turned into huge light seats that could be used to overlook the vast golden combat stage below.

In this area, countless students from different spiritual academies were looking with awe at the five figures. These five figures were principals of the Five Great Academies–in other words, Chiefs of the Five Great Academies.

Sitting calmly in the rear left, Chief Tai Cang’s eyes were deep and profound. An indescribable pressure gushed out from his plain appearance and was quite a deterrent.

The one who was sitting on the right side of Chief Tai Cang was an elder in a green robe. With white brows and beard, his skin was also white and tender as an infant’s. It seemed there was a green pine tree growing on his palm, emitting green, jade-like rays. The swaying of the pine tree could even slightly twist the space around it.

This was Chief Tian Song of the Azure Sky Spiritual Academy.

A gaunt old man was sitting in the front left. He was quite short and plain-looking, twisting his beard with his withered hand. He had a drowsy look on his face, however, his name was very arrogant.

This was Wu Tianwang, the Chief of the Martial Spiritual Academy.

A beautiful lady was sitting beside Chief Wu Tianwang. Wearing a gorgeous dress, she was graceful and majestic. Her long hair, which was like the tail of a phoenix, was pulled up into a bun. With her jade-like skin, she seemed to be exceptionally young compared to the other four Chiefs. People in the know were aware that among the other four Chiefs, only the Chief of the Saint Spiritual Academy was more senior.

She was Chief Tang Qiu of the Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy.

Among the five seats, the most conspicuous one was definitely the one in the middle. A majestic figure was calmly sitting on that light seat. He was awesome and daunting, just like a sky-high mountain erected between heaven and earth.

This was Chief Tian Sheng of the Saint Spiritual Academy, who could be considered the most famous person in the Five Great Academies. His strength was also unfathomable.

The five giants represented the best of the best strength of the countless spiritual academies. They were apparently the most powerful ones in the field of spiritual academies.

After the appearance of the Chiefs of the Five Great Academies, they made eye contact and nodded at each other as a courtesy.

“Chiefs of other spiritual academies, please take your seats.” A glint of a smile appeared on Chief Tian Sheng’s angular face. His voice, which could bring happiness to others like a spring breeze, was echoing in each corner of the space.

While his voice was echoing, the space in the sky twisted again. Many figures appeared by tearing the space apart. With a formidable sense of pressure, these people didn’t have a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energies around their bodies. However, everyone knew all of these people were principals of various spiritual academies, who also had extraordinary strength.

After their appearance, these Chiefs of various spiritual academies cupped their hands in the distance towards the direction of the Chiefs of the Five Great Academies. Then they waved their robe sleeves to turn the light into light seats in the sky, so that they could overlook the earth by sitting on those seats.

Shooting a glance at Chief Tian Sheng, who inadvertently took the dominant position, Chief Tai Cang curled his lips slightly. Does this Tian Sheng really consider himself as the Chief of the Top Academy?

Although the other three Chiefs said nothing, a trace of dissatisfaction could also be found in their eyes.

It seemed Chief Tian Sheng was unaware of the dissatisfaction of the other Chiefs. Suddenly he turned to Chief Tai Cang and said with a wee smile, “Chief Tai Cang, the Academy Competition at this time is really important to the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy.”

Chief Tai Cang also smiled and said, “Don’t bother reminding me. The Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy will naturally do its best in this Academy Competition.”

“Of course you will.” Chief Tian Sheng nodded with a smile. Then he said, “I also hope the performance of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy will be better this time; otherwise, it will also cause damage to the rest of the academies if you lose the title as one of the Five Great Academies.”

Chief Tai Cang replied with a slight grin.
