Xuan Ziwen pondered, "Hongchen Hall Master, do you mean to say that after he takes the Mingde Hall assessment, I should instruct him?"
Being able to instruct such a student with terrifying talent, he felt it was not a bad thing at all!
Moreover, the Eighth-level Formation that Qian Yu had carved out was the cream of the crop! Even as a ninth-rank soul-guidance master, he could not achieve such a feat!
In an instant, he decisively chose to conceal the information he had prepared to tell Mirror Dust...
The two had worked together for many years and were clear about each other's character; Mirror Dust might seem amiable, but if you really observed, you would find he already possessed the posture of a villain!
Mirror Dust shook his head, "No! It's an exemption! In the name of exchange students, he will be exempted from the assessment to enter Mingde Hall!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ziwen's pupils constricted, and he calmly said, "I understand! I will personally judge him later."
After finishing, Xuan Ziwen slowly pushed the door open and left...
Watching his retreating back, Mirror Dust once again fell into deep thought...
Muttering to himself, he said, "Xuan Ziwen, oh Xuan Ziwen, what exactly are you hiding from me?"
Just a moment ago, his face was full of urgency, and his expression desperate; yet in the blink of an eye, he calmed down...
This situation is certainly worth pondering over...
Then, shaking his head, he ominously said, "But even if you don't tell me, someone else will..."
...
The next morning, Qian Yu quickly got up and dressed, but before he could do anything, he heard a continuous knocking at the door...
"Dada dada"
Accompanied by a male voice, "Qian Yu, are you awake?"
Qian Yu's brow tightened, recognizing the voice as Lin Jiayi's...
Qian Yu said coldly, "Please come in!"
Lin Jiayi pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes quickly darting around the room. Feeling no presence of soul tools, he thought to himself, "Was it discovered? It's no wonder he is an eighth-level soul master."
He had specially installed four surveillance-type soul tools, all of them Level 6. Normally, not even Soul Emperors or Soul Kings could detect them through soul power fluctuation...
Qian Yu's icy gaze fell on Lin Jiayi, "Headmaster Lin, is there something you need?"
Lin Jiayi did not show any annoyance but smiled and said, "Nothing much. Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to take the Mingde Hall assessment? So I specially requested an exemption from the Hongchen Hall Master, and surprisingly, it was approved. It must be because you are an exchange student!"
"Therefore, not only can you freely enter and study in Mingde Hall, but the academy will also assign you the level 9 soul-guidance master, Teacher Xuan Ziwen, as your instructor!"
Qian Yu pursed his thin lips and said expressionlessly, "Thank you, Headmaster Lin!"
Having him exempted from the assessment to enter Mingde Hall must be because they had found something and wanted to test him, right?
…
Sure enough, as Lin Jiayi led Qian Yu to Mingde Hall, other students watching Qian Yu and Lin Jiayi began hurling insults continuously...
A student exclaimed in surprise, "Is that the guy? The exchange student from Shrek Academy, said to be an eighth-level soul master!"
Another student beside him sneered disdainfully, "Absolute nonsense. Even our Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy doesn't have a student who is an eighth-level soul master. How could Shrek Academy possibly cultivate such a monster?"
"Exactly. He must have obtained that title through some despicable means, right?"
"Such a person doesn't deserve to be a soul master. It's probably also the case that the teachers from Shrek Academy are no good either, actually condoning their student's behavior."
"Disgusting! How could such a person be sent to our academy!"
Facing the raucous insults, Qian Yu's icy gaze suddenly sharpened...
All the students who made eye contact with Qian Yu felt as if their throats had been seized in an instant, a strong sensation of suffocation spreading continuously...
In just a few seconds, the entire area quieted down, and the faces of students who had been brazenly slinging insults turned ghastly pale...
Witnessing all of this, Lin Jiayi's eyes widened in shock, "What? He has the power to seemingly strangle these students of the Royal Academy with just a glance, even under my intimidating presence!!!"
He felt as if his entire worldview was shattering!
I originally thought Qian Yu would lose patience and lash out, but who knew a single glance from him could crush any student present!
Lin Jiayi could only offer a smile to calm the situation. "Qian Yu, these students might be a bit overzealous, but there's no need for you to be so angry. Their true nature is still very harmonious," he said.
Qian Yu retracted his pressure, speaking coldly, "Director Lin, let's go."
Had it not been for the feeling of an extremely terrifying power within the academy, he wouldn't have forcibly restrained his killing intent...
However, he had already taken note of this academy and would definitely give it a "generous gift" in the future!!
Lin Jiayi nodded, "Yes, let's go. Mingde Hall is just up ahead!"
Only after the two had left did the surrounding students begin to breathe heavily...
They had truly experienced the taste of death just now, especially the feeling of helplessness as they suffocated bit by bit...
A little longer, and it might have been enough to collapse their spirits...
At that moment, all the students' hearts were filled with a dread of Qian Yu...
......
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
The enormous, icy doors of Mingde Hall were slowly opened, revealing the inside bit by bit...
The whole Mingde Hall had an arc-shape with each half hosting different rooms and laboratories!
Compared to the location Qian Yu had sneaked into the day before, it was easily more than a hundred times larger!
Pointing to one of the laboratories, Lin Jiayi said, "Let's go, Teacher Xuan Ziwen's lab is over there."
Qian Yu didn't respond and followed behind Lin Jiayi with a cold aura enveloping him...
Of course, this also attracted the attention of other students within Mingde Hall, but after sensing Qian Yu's terrifying aura, they chose not to say anything...
They were far more disciplined than the students outside Mingde Hall!
After the two entered the laboratory, they found two figures seated inside...
One was Xuan Ziwen, and the other was another one of his students...
Both stopped what they were doing as they saw the sudden arrival of Lin Jiayi and Qian Yu...
Lin Jiayi spoke up, "Teacher Xuan, I've brought Qian Yu here! Now, I'll take my leave."
Having said this, he didn't wait for Xuan Ziwen to reply, simply smiled, and decisively turned to leave...
Xuan Ziwen looked up at Qian Yu in front of him and said indifferently to his disciple, "That's enough for today, go conduct your experiments."
A flicker of surprise crossed the disciple's face; he had only been there for less than half an hour—was it over already?
Though puzzled, he still held back his questions and left...
Witnessing this, Qian Yu's gaze was fixed on Xuan Ziwen...
Whether intentionally or not, it seemed like this fellow called Xuan Ziwen had purposefully sent the student away just now?
Xuan Ziwen slowly approached Qian Yu and stretched out his hand. "Nice to meet you. My name is Xuan Ziwen, a ninth-rank soul-guidance master. You've achieved the rank of an eighth-level soul master, so let's treat each other as equals," he said.
Qian Yu cautiously reached out and grasped his hand...
The next moment, a howling wind surged between the two of them...
Grey and white massive forces collided...
Xuan Ziwen's face turned a shade paler as he gritted his teeth inwardly, "This guy, his aura is even stronger than mine by several degrees!"
On the other hand, Qian Yu's cool face remained unchanged...
As if he hadn't felt any pressure at all...
