Peerless Taoist

Those who were teleported out earlier all had pale faces and eyes full of fear.    

Although they were geniuses in the academy, when they entered Blood God Purgatory, they would have to face those incomparably ferocious Blood Devils. Many people trembled because of this and lost the courage to resist. They crushed the jade talismans and left long ago.    

This was a true life and death experience. A slight carelessness might result in death on the spot.    

Many of them who left ahead of time did not even kill a single blood demon. The points they obtained were naturally not high, so they lost the qualifications to participate in the Imperial Examinations.    

"This batch of disciples is better than I imagined. Ninety percent of them are still in Blood God Purgatory. They did not escape like before. Most of them did not escape." Cheng Jinru said with relief.    

The other Great Confucians also smiled.    

As long as they stayed in Blood God Purgatory and experienced true life and death battles, their strength would increase rapidly.    

Now, there were still over 900 disciples left in Blood God Purgatory. Once the trial succeeded, it would form a power that could not be underestimated. The overall strength of Jade Cauldron Academy would also increase significantly.    

Tian Boyan snorted coldly. "It's only because there are too many disciples entering this time. Before long, more people will come out."    

A major scholar said unhappily, "Does this mean that the deputy dean is looking down on the disciples of my academy?"    

Tian Boyan frowned and said, "I'm trying to let you understand the truth. Our Jade Cauldron Academy is the weakest of the five academies. This time, it was just a fluke. There were more middle-level and high-level disciples. However, don't be arrogant. It's a fact that disciples are not strong enough. There's nothing to hide. "    

The other Confucians couldn't help but laugh in anger. They couldn't even praise their disciples now.    

Tian Boyan glanced at the crowd and said coldly, "I know you're not convinced. Why don't I ask how many disciples' Soul Fires have been extinguished?"    

Soon, someone came to report that the Soul Fires of more than fifty disciples had been extinguished.    

If the Soul Fires were extinguished, there was a high chance that they would die. They would never come out of the Jade Cauldron Academy ever again.    

Hearing so many disciples die, all the great Confucians revealed a sorrowful expression.    

"Forget it, forget it! Without experiencing the baptism of blood, one would not be able to produce an outstanding disciple. According to the usual practice, send compensation to the families of these disciples. " Cheng Jin said with a long sigh.    

"Wait!"    

Tian Boyan suddenly said coldly, "The death notice can be sent. The compensation can't be given! "    

Cheng Jin's eyes widened. "This is the academy's tradition. Why didn't you send it?!"    

If a junior disciple died, the academy would only notify them and not express anything.    

However, intermediate disciples and senior disciples were different. Each of them made great contributions to the academy.    

Hence, after the disciple died, the academy would send compensation based on the disciple's contributions.    

"You guys aren't in charge, so naturally you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are. Now that there are so many high level disciples in the academy, they naturally need large amounts of resources to nurture them. How can we spend money to give to people who have already died? Those who have died can only blame themselves for not having the ability. It has nothing to do with our academy." Tian Boyan snorted coldly.    

Cheng Jin was furious. He pointed at Tian Boyan and shouted, "Even if it's those martial arts sects, they will compensate us for the deaths of their disciples. I am the dignified Jade Cauldron Academy. Can't I even take out this little bit of money? "    

Tian Boyan remained unmoved. "If you don't have it, then so be it. I won't give a single immortal stone to those useless dead people."
