It was clear that the Six Paths Heavenly King cared greatly about this matter.
"Yes, this student intends to graduate early," Fan Lang answered honestly.
"You know this counts as early graduation. You have only been enrolled for two years, and during those two years, you have been constantly running around and barely spent any time living at the academy. How much could you have learned? No matter how talented you are, you still need proper refinement. Two years is far too short. If you feel the academy's curriculum is inadequate, I can personally arrange your studies and guarantee that you will advance by leaps and bounds each day," the Six Paths Heavenly King said sternly.
"I appreciate your kindness, Headmaster. I am not graduating because I am dissatisfied with the academic arrangements. Aurora Academy has nurtured me, and I am deeply satisfied and will always remember its kindness."
"Then why do you insist on graduating early?"
"Because I have other plans. I want to improve my strength in my own way."
"I know you have your own secrets. That does not conflict with Aurora Academy. Do whatever you wish; the academy will not stop you. You can keep your enrollment status."
"This student has made up his mind. Please grant my request, Headmaster."
Fan Lang's attitude was resolute and impervious to persuasion. He actually dared to openly defy the Six Paths Heavenly King.
For the first time ever, the Six Paths Heavenly King grew angry at Fan Lang. Even his white brows stood on end.
The old man and the young man faced off like needle against wheat awn, staring at each other for several breaths.
The Six Paths Heavenly King forcibly suppressed his anger and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had regained his composure.
