*THUMP! SPLAT! CRASH!
OOF!*
Like four sacks of rotten sweet potatoes dropped from five hundred feet in the air, Grand Ancestor Jian Chen (“Sword-Tomb”), right Grand Ancestor Poison-Core. Grand Ancestor Lotus-Bone, alongside Grand Ancestor Thunder-Skull slammed face-first into the soft green grass at the center of the Campus #1 Sports Plaza. Digging four deep human-shaped craters right along the fifty-yard line!
Around the perimeter of the sports field, fifty thousand first-day students sitting safely behind the golden-silver porch shield craned their necks and giggled. Clods of dirt and tattered burial-shroud rags rained down around the four craters.
Inside the first crater, four-hundred-year-old Grand Ancestor Jian Chen (“Sword-Tomb”) [Half-Step Rank 6 Golden Core, severely backlashed] pushed his mud-caked chin out of the dirt.
Inside his chest, his exposed Half-Step Golden Core—which had waited four centuries for a single baptism of Rank. 6 Tribulation Lightning to crystallize into a true immortal core—was smoking and sputtering like a damp charcoal briquette!
Looking up through bloodshot, sunken eye sockets as seven-year-old Jiang Tuntun , at Rank 5 Early. Floated down from the sunny blue sky like a happy little white dandelion and landed on her wooden footstool on the porch of the [Lv.3 Flying Courtyard Carriage]. Grand Ancestor Jian Chen lost his mind completely!
