Linggui Academy?

Although Lin Xiaowei's tone was very casual, Li Yao could still sense her anxiety from between the lines of her message.

So Li Yao reassured him, "Don't rush, speak slowly."

Even if the sky falls, there are always tall people to hold it up, right? After calming down a bit, Lin Xiaowei said, "Something just happened, and my teacher, who's never serious, suddenly became serious! This is terrible!"

Li Yao: "???"

He interrupted, "Wait a minute, what's wrong with your teacher? How indecent is he usually?"

Lin Xiaowei: "..."

Li Yao's question completely disrupted her thoughts!

So Lin Xiaowei countered, "Then what do you think is 'indecent'?"

Li Yao: "How would I know!"

Anyway, most teachers and principals on Earth aren't exactly serious! Lin Xiaowei: "What nonsense are you thinking? Can't you be serious for once?"

Li Yao: Is this the kind of "serious" that's considered "unserious"?

This would be a death sentence in a Chinese reading comprehension test for foreigners! Lin Xiaowei panicked. "Don't give me that nonsense, I'm talking to you about something important! Didn't I tell you before that a new force has appeared in my waters? Today our new ship encountered a group of Pirate Ship, and then..."

Next, Lin Xiaowei briefly explained the process of the naval battle to Li Yao, and even used her magic to materialize some images and send them to him.

Li Yao looked at the strange object on his phone and said, "This thing... feels a bit out of place!"

The dry, wrinkled thing, covered with scars and nodules and covered with ghastly green, tree-like veins, had some silver metal components on it. It was those components that made the ugly, horrifying, fleshy creature so incongruous.

That thing...

It looks a lot like an alien creation from some science fiction works?

Li Yao thought for a moment and asked, "Was your area invaded by aliens?"

Actually, calling them aliens isn't quite right.

According to the mages' research on the universe, the world floats in the boundless dark space in the form of vesicles. Of course, these vesicles are not completely isolated from each other; some intersect, while others are far apart. As for the boundaries of the vesicles, they are not boundaries in the ordinary sense.

In the Upper Realm do not truly exist; they are manifested in the rules.

Therefore, Li Yao had reason to believe that the thing came from another world to the Main World... But that's not that strange, is it? After all, there are many adjacent planes in the Main World.

So Li Yao reassured them, "Perhaps some force from another dimension has flowed into your world?"

Lin Xiaowei retorted, "That's different."

"The mages have close monitoring of the direct contact points between different dimensions. Of course, some forces do manage to slip in through the loopholes, but this time, they've managed to contaminate five Pirate Ship so easily. According to previous intelligence, there are clearly more!"

"What's most terrifying is that even my teacher had to go to great lengths to eliminate that corrupting power!"

That's a legendary master!

A legendary figure who transcends the rules!

Unless it's a Upper Realm deity or Abyssal Demon, the inexplicable appearance of this thing even prompted Legendary Mage to employ some methods! In other words,

If High-Rank Mage were to handle this situation, it would require even more power! The process would also be much more complicated!

How many Legendary Mage are there in the Main World? How many High-Rank Mage are there? And how many of those monsters that casually parasitize Pirate Ship are there?

There won't be too many Legendary Mage and High-Rank Mage in the Main World.

And there may be quite a few of those strange beings!

This is a crisis! So Lin Xiaowei said, "I need your help! Although the teacher's use of spiritual energy to annihilate them wasn't very efficient, after a round of saturation bombardment, those strange things lost most of their activity. Although they may have exhausted their power, I hope you can use the elements or energy that exist on Earth to see if you can kill those strange beings!"

Li Yao agreed, "Okay!"

Lin Xiaowei continued, "I will get some samples and send them to you as soon as possible."

Li Yao: "Hmm!"

After confirming this, my best friend went offline.

It's obvious.

My best friend is still very concerned about the safety of the Main World... which makes sense, since it's his second home.

She must have made friends and loved ones over there.

Since fully assimilating the Specialized Magic Rune of the Transmutation Faction, Li Yao has gained a more refined perception of any form of change.

Put away your phone.

Li Yao closed his eyes and meditated for a while. Once his thoughts had completely calmed down, he made a list of things he needed to do.

The first is the Second Specialization of branding.

He had originally planned to talk to Lin Xiaowei about it, but she seemed very busy, and the conversation easily veered off-topic... He didn't know if it was his best friend's problem or his own.

never mind,

None of that matters.

This matter needs a few more days to prepare, and there's another matter that needs to be discussed with the Wallfacers beforehand.

Through months of study, Li Yao has roughly figured out the routine of cultivation advancement on the Earth's extraordinary side. However, knowing the theory and putting it into practice are two different things, so he plans to verify it before officially implementing it.

Thinking of this,

He went to the Midnight Bar next door to find Big Sis Feng Li.

Big Sis Feng Li didn't come to work today; she was on duty at the bar.

Midnight Bar are doing quite well now, even better than Lost Tavern—well, that's because Lost Tavern's business has declined.

Since Chen Xi and Lin Xiaoxi left the tavern, the tavern's business has experienced a clear linear decline.

Even after Cao Rui and Chen Tao took over, the tavern's business remained at roughly the same level.

As for the specific reasons...

Li Yao didn't want to investigate.

When Big Sis Feng Li saw Li Yao, she greeted him, "You're here, little brother?"

Hearing some familiar greetings, Li Yao smiled knowingly.

Big Sis Feng Li patted the chair next to her, not offering Li Yao any drinks, since he always carried a thermos with his usual beverages. After Li Yao sat down, she asked, "You've been living like a hermit lately, rarely going out. How's everything going?"

Li Yao: "We've got a lead!"

Big Sis Feng Li licked her lips. "Sure, let's open up a simpler path for cultivation and advancement for everyone! Even some of the most powerful figures wouldn't dare to say that! Little brother, are you up for it?"

Li Yao: "Why don't you try and see?"

Big Sis Feng Li raised an eyebrow. "How do we test it?"

Li Yao: "..."

She always felt that Big Sis Feng Li was making suggestive remarks about her... but she had no proof! So Li Yao didn't respond directly, but instead followed his own train of thought and said, "I plan to conduct trials before the official launch to revise my reasoning, so I need to establish an academy. I've already thought of a name!"

Big Sis Feng Li: "Oh?"

Li Yao excitedly declared, "The Institute for Research on the Application of Psionic Technology Standards!"

Big Sis Feng Li: "???"

so...

Big Sis Feng Li thought for a moment and asked, "In short, the Spiritual Standard Academy?"

Li Yao: "..."

Something feels a little strange.

First update. I spent the whole day at the hospital today, and then all sorts of trivial things happened when I got home... Ugh! I need eight consecutive updates tomorrow to catch up with the 515 update... I'll give it my all tomorrow, I can't lose! Hope you all enjoy reading... I'm going to rest now to prepare for tomorrow.
