Chapter 139: The Last Tranquility (1)

Soon after, Yu Xuanyi passed the examination and officially became a student of the First Academy, with the best scores of the year.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

“Have you heard? A powerful figure has joined the academy, someone called Yu Xuanyi. Even the examiners couldn’t stop praising him. He seems to have broken many academy records,” two students chatted as they walked through the academy.

“Is he that impressive? I’ve subscribed to the Cicada Society’s newspaper. Have you read it? Let me see,” the other requested.

“I’ll just tell you. You want to know about this year’s top ten events, right? Only a few of them are truly significant. Yu Xuanyi made the list, ranking fourth. He single-handedly broke multiple entrance exam records, has a mysterious background, and is handsome. He’ll probably captivate many girls in the academy. The third-ranked event is Wind Lord Mumu Xingyun becoming the academy’s principal, which is widely known. The second-ranked event is Holy Maiden Lixi’s enrollment, though she rarely appears in public. As for the top-ranked event, it’s naturally that mysterious junior student’s record of reaching the eighteenth floor of the Boundless Tower, truly unprecedented. However, that mysterious student seems to have disappeared since then. Many speculate he’s been secretly protected by higher-ups.”

Yu Xuanyi was listening nearby. He had been at the academy for a while now, expecting to become the absolute star. However, everyone was constantly discussing the mysterious student who cleared the eighteenth floor of the Boundless Tower. In comparison, Yu Xuanyi’s achievements seemed lackluster.

“If I hadn’t entered the Profound Realm years ago, I’d go challenge it myself. What a pity,” Yu Xuanyi said reluctantly. Having been hailed as an unparalleled genius since childhood, he naturally wouldn’t admit inferiority to others.

“There’s an open lecture this afternoon. I heard Teacher Gong is giving it. Shall we go listen?” one student said.

“You want to listen to the lecture? I think you just want to see Teacher Gong,” the other exposed.

“Oh, what do you know? Though Teacher Gong teaches knowledge related to spirit contractors, and we’re not spirit contractors, we might face such enemies in the future. As they say, know your enemy and yourself, and you’ll win every battle. There’s no harm in learning more.”

After they left, Yu Xuanyi narrowed his eyes from nearby. “Teaching knowledge related to spirit contractors? The Holy Maiden is likely to attend. This could be a good opportunity to approach her.” With that, he turned and left.

At Tianhe Garden Villa, the Holy Maiden’s residence.

MuMu Lixi’s face turned red, but she nodded. Now she had top-tier cultivation techniques and sufficient cultivation level, but lacked suitable battle skills. Even Wind Lord’s extensive search hadn’t found particularly powerful battle techniques for her.

“Are you going to Sister Gong’s class this afternoon?” Nangong Weilai asked.

“Yes,” the Holy Maiden nodded. She came here to experience academy life, after all. Staying cooped up here wasn’t the point.

“Sister, when you go out, be mindful of your image, especially keep your distance from this guy,” Nangong Weilai reminded.

Holy Maiden Lixi shook her head, “What does it matter? Let them think what they want.”

Zhanyue felt that Gong Xiaoyu must have said something to this girl. MuMu Lixi now showed undisguised affection towards him. She wasn’t at all hesitant to appear intimate with him in public. Even Wind Lord had advised against it, but MuMu Lixi didn’t care. Over the years, this girl’s personality had changed quite a bit, completely different from the timid little girl she once was.

Time quickly passed to the afternoon.

Open lectures were an important part of the academy curriculum, and not everyone was qualified to give them. Gong Xiaoyu, receiving an enormous salary from the academy, felt somewhat guilty and applied to give a few open lectures, intending to do some work to justify her pay.

The huge venue could accommodate thousands of people, with a spacious central area for the teacher’s demonstrations. The venue was already packed, with students who hadn’t entered the Profound Realm, those who had, spirit contractors, weapon contractors, and other types of contractors all crowded in. Some were genuinely eager to learn, while others came to see the rumored most beautiful female teacher. Only a very few people with extraordinary backgrounds knew Gong Xiaoyu’s true identity.

Soon after, MuMu Lixi and her two companions entered. The crowd naturally parted to make way. There were reserved seats for the Holy Maiden in the front row.

Yu Xuanyi mingled in the crowd, his gaze fixed intently on MuMu Lixi’s back. He had been at the academy for so long but had found it difficult to find an opportunity to approach the Holy Maiden. Today presented a good chance to make an impression. However, who was that man beside the Holy Maiden, laughing and talking with her? Yu Xuanyi frowned, feeling a sense of unease.
