This person is definitely protected; no one can harm the other side.

Because Peng Chaolin’s students had killed my students before, and at that time I could only suffer in silence, unable to say a word.

Back then, when I went to cause trouble, Peng Chaolin protected his students and refused to admit anything, especially that Jian Jiu, who killed several of my disciples!

Now, as karma turns, Peng Chaolin should experience this kind of feeling!

"You... what are you doing?" Peng Chaolin shouted at Shi Tianjun, "Your student killed my student; this is rebellious conduct!"

"Do you have any evidence that my student killed your student? If you don’t have any proof, I advise you to shut up!" Shi Tianjun defiantly replied.

"You..." Peng Chaolin was shaking with anger, never expecting Shi Tianjun to intervene!

"People are dead, your student killed my student, they must pay with their life!" Peng Chaolin said viciously.

"Pay with their life? What pay with their life? Do you have any evidence? If there’s no evidence, you’d better shut your mouth!" Shi Tianjun retorted coldly.

"You!" Peng Chaolin was on the verge of exploding with anger.

He realized that Shi Tianjun was determined to protect Yi Zhong, and today there was no way he could kill him, but he couldn’t swallow the grievance of Jian Jiu’s death: "Fine, Peng Chaolin will remember this, Shi Tianjun, I hope your student will remain unscathed within the Academy, if anything happens to him, it won’t have anything to do with me!"

This was a threat, and Shi Tianjun could naturally hear it, but he didn’t pay any heed to it.

As long as he watched over Yi Zhong in the future, and ensured the other party wasn’t harmed, everything would be perfect.

Other matters were irrelevant to him.

Then, Shi Tianjun looked at the people present and said: "Let’s complete the tasks first; once those who pass the tasks can go out for the Spring Autumn Academy trials."

The students didn’t say much either.

They started submitting their tasks.

People at the Mission Hall had already prepared everything.

Everyone lined up to submit their tasks.

Someone went up and handed over the task items.

After looking at them, the person at the Mission Hall said: "D-Class Task: Collect Xuanmu Grass, all items are perfect!"

Others immediately followed suit, submitting their task items.

Tang Zhong and Ading were also among the crowd.

Qin Chuchu was beside them: "Did you complete your task this time?"

Qin Chuchu hadn’t intended to ask so many questions, but somehow she ended up asking anyway.

And as soon as she said it, she realized the importance of this question.

This was an epic-level task, how could it be completed so easily!

"It’s completed!" Ading replied.

Qin Chuchu stared at the two: "What? Completed? Are you kidding me?"

Then she looked at Tang Zhong, not expecting the same answer!

Tang Zhong nodded and said, "That’s right!"

No way, an epic-level task is very difficult to complete, almost impossible to accomplish.

"In history, only that General of Cangye Kingdom has completed an epic-level task; no other student has done it!"

Qin Chuchu still couldn’t believe that Tang Zhong could do it.

Ading chuckled and said, "It may be possible that in the future Yi Zhong will become the General of Cangye Kingdom!"

Qin Chuchu didn’t believe it, thinking they were mocking her, and immediately said: "Hmph, I don’t believe it!"

Even though she said she didn’t believe it, she was extremely hopeful.

If Yi Zhong really completed this task, she would feel proud, and she would glow in introducing Yi Zhong to others!

Soon, it was Qin Chuchu’s turn, Qing Xuan from the Listening Wind Pavilion led them to submit their task.

It was an A-Class task, and everyone passed! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Finally, it was Tang Zhong’s turn, mainly because they took an epic-level task, so the submission was last!

Everyone’s eyes were on them.

They wondered whether these people completed the epic-level task.

Understandably, the task involved the slaying of a Great Demon, which is no simple creature!

Peng Chaolin stood at the front; he wouldn’t spare Tang Zhong, wherever Tang Zhong existed in the Academy, he would be there and humiliate him hard.

He immediately stepped forward: "You took an epic-level task; if you cannot complete it, you will be punished!"

He wouldn’t believe that ordinary students could manage to complete such an epic-level task!

Shi Tianjun naturally didn’t believe Tang Zhong could complete it either. He had already heard the pre-trial incident, where people from the Star Sword Association targeted Tang Zhong, preventing them from accepting any tasks, which is why Tang Zhong took this task, essentially a death warrant!

"For what punishment?" Shi Tianjun was surely going to protect Tang Zhong.

"For what punishment? Don’t you know? Within the Academy, outer trials are prepared for students to accept this task of slaying the Great Demon; unfortunately, the task was picked, so they had to leave. This epic-level task isn’t meant for your disciple’s level to accept or complete. He accepted the task and failed to complete it, isn’t that nonsense? If not punished, what if others imitate, how could that work?" Peng Chaolin retorted coldly.

This talk made Shi Tianjun dissatisfied; what kind of punishment was that?

Absolutely unrealistic punishment!

"Why have a meal? Why? My disciple accepts the task, others can’t accept it, then it has to be punished?" Shi Tianjun said coldly.

"Certainly not for that, but because he accepted the task, knowing full well his strength was insufficient, yet accepted such a task, it’s sheer nonsense, even mocking the Academy, so it should be punished!" Peng Chaolin said coldly.

Having been silent all along, Tang Zhong heard this and coldly said: "On what basis do you accuse us? What qualification do you have?"

Pon hearing this, Peng Chaolin turned towards Tang Zhong, coldly laughed: "Qualification? As long as a teacher from Spring Autumn Academy, there’s qualification to judge you, you... what do you count for!"

"What, a teacher of Spring Autumn Academy can arbitrarily punish?" Tang Zhong said.

"Certainly not, but if you make a mistake, you should be punished!" Peng Chaolin replied coldly.

"If an epic-level task is punishment, then... what’s the reason for the task set by the Mission Hall? Besides, I haven’t submitted the task yet, you jumping out, what does that mean? How do you know I didn’t complete the task?" Tang Zhong said coldly.

"You..." Peng Chaolin hearing this turned grim!

"Truly without seeing the coffin do not shed tears, fine, let me see how you submit the task?"

In his view, the person could never complete the task!

Others also worried about Tang Zhong!

At this moment, Tang Zhong walked over to the task submission place and took out the head of the Great Demon: "I submit the task!"
