During the period of guarding the Alliance Altar, the enemy Li Qi had to face was actually someone he knew.
The Jijiu of Human Path's Chang'an Imperial Academy.
That middle-aged man who had shown Li Qi the kindness of half a teacher.
Thus, Li Qi did not strike first. Instead, he waited a moment and took the initiative to speak. "Ah, Jijiu, I never thought there would come a day when we would cross blades."
"I should be the surprised one. That little brat from back then has actually reached this point. You truly... leave one not knowing what to say. I never imagined that one day, I would see with my own eyes a student standing alongside me." The Imperial Academy Jijiu spoke with emotion.
This truly had been unexpected. The Imperial Academy Jijiu had seen batch after batch of Academy students off. Even those who willingly sank into depravity could at minimum reach the seventh rank. So long as their grades remained stable and normal, most could cultivate to the fifth rank, while a small number could reach the fourth.
But during his tenure, there had not been a single third ranker.
Yet Li Qi, this young master of Wushen Mountain, was the first third-rank student he had taught. Truly, fate worked in mysterious ways.
"Ah, she wants to say a few words. Speak with her." Before Li Qi could reply, the Imperial Academy Jijiu said this and offered out the magical artifact in his hand.
His magical artifact was a ruler.
This ruler had once suppressed the entire Imperial Academy, keeping every student firmly under its watch.
Yet when Li Qi had dragged out teaching equipment and prepared to smash desks to research the "theory of boundaries," causing trouble, the ruler had not acted to stop him.
