Miao Miao's impulsive rebuke of Ji Dong brought a sense of schadenfreude to the directors of the Heavenly Stem Academy. When Ji Dong announced his challenge was against Thunder Emperor Frey, disbelief filled their eyes. In their view, Ji Dong's challenge would surely be directed at one of them or even the president Ji Mingxuan. That would make sense, since none of them wanted to accept Ji Dong's challenge. Winning or losing aside, even if they won, would it bring any more prestige to them? Ji Dong was only twenty-two or twenty-three years old. Battling him was a lose-lose situation for these directors. Moreover, none of the directors present, not even Ji Mingxuan who had already left, dared to claim a sure victory over Ji Dong. This young man's freakish talent was well known; hadn't everyone seen his hair turned white from training?
