"What!?"

At his words, Old Li's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively slammed his palm on the table.

Bang! The precious sandalwood table instantly shattered into powder!

Tea spilled across the table, while pastries and snacks fell all over the floor.

Li Zixuan and Lin Mofeng, standing nearby, were both terrified. They looked at each other and did not dare say another word.

Without a doubt, Old Li was truly enraged.

Just yesterday, he had issued strict orders to guard the stone stele and forbid anyone from approaching it.

Yet early this morning, something like this had happened.

This was a resounding slap in the face! "Who? Who did this!?"

Old Li's face darkened. In a single stride, he reached the door, pulled it open, and shouted at the arriving Security Chief.

Boom! As he spoke, a terrifying pressure descended upon the chief like Mount Tai bearing down on him, frightening him so badly that he collapsed to the ground. "I... I don't know either... Old Li..."

"When I went over this morning, I discovered that someone had... carved... carved words onto it..."

He trembled as he spoke, terrified that Old Li would strike him with a palm and split his head open the next second.

"Teacher... please calm down first."

Seeing this, Li Zixuan stepped forward and said softly, "Let's go to the scene and see what happened first."

"Junior Sister is right. Teacher, please do not get angry."

Lin Mofeng echoed her from the side, though he too felt somewhat displeased.

After all, this was a gift he had given to his alma mater.

Yet before the younger students had even gotten a proper look at it, someone had ruined it the very next day. It was truly infuriating.

But due to his good upbringing, he suppressed his displeasure and advised Old Li, "The three of us should go take a look at the stone stele first. If the damage is not serious, I can repair it myself."

Hearing this.

Old Li, who stood at the doorway, also realized that he had lost his composure.

Huff! He closed his eyes and exhaled a heavy breath of foul air.

Only after suppressing the anger in his heart did he help the Security Department Head up from the ground. "What happened today is a serious dereliction of duty by your Security Department! This old one will settle this account with you afterward. As for now... come with this old one and inspect the damage to the stone stele first."

"Yes... yes, thank you, Old Li."

The Security Department Head replied tremblingly and led the way.

Old Li followed behind with his hands clasped behind his back and his waist bent, his expression still grim. Li Zixuan and Lin Mofeng followed closely at his side.

The group went downstairs and headed straight for the Martial Arts Practice Square.

From afar, the square was packed with people murmuring among themselves, making the place exceptionally noisy and chaotic.

"They're here! The dean is here! Everyone, move aside!"

"This is outrageous! Who did it? They actually dared carve random words onto the stone stele. This is going too far!!"

"Sigh, we finally had a Grandmaster-level cultivation method, and I had barely gotten a chance to look at it before it was ruined like this..."

Sighs reached Old Li's ears one after another.

His already foul mood became even more agitated, and his Dao Heart grew unsettled.

"Silence, all of you!!"

Old Li suddenly roared, his voice exploding like thunder and resounding across the entire Martial Arts Practice Square, instantly freezing everyone in place.

Silence. Stillness.

Countless gazes converged upon Old Li, but not a single sound could be heard.

The crowd parted to both sides, opening up a wide path.

With his hands behind his back, Old Li swiftly passed through the crowd and arrived before the stone stele. He nervously inspected the carvings upon it, and his heart immediately sank to the depths.

Just as expected!

Compared to yesterday, the stone stele had many new carvings on it. Someone had needlessly embellished it and privately added words to the cultivation method!

The lawless actions of the person who had carved those words clearly showed that they had no regard for Jianghai Martial Arts Academy.

If word got out, all of Jianghai City would laugh at their Martial Arts Academy.

"Investigate! Investigate it immediately!"

The veins at Old Li's temples bulged as fury burned in his chest. He practically ground out each word, "This old one will definitely drag that little bastard out!"

Just as his words fell.

"Wait... Teacher."

Lin Mofeng suddenly stepped forward. Sensing the Star Power on the stone stele from closer range, he said in surprise, "The carvings on this stone stele... seem a little strange..."

"Hm?"

Old Li did not understand. "Mofeng, what do you mean?"

"Please wait, Teacher. Let me take a closer look."

As he spoke, Lin Mofeng stepped closer and released his Star Power, covering the stone stele to examine it.

However, the instant it covered the stele, his expression changed drastically. Shocked and bewildered, he then revealed an utterly incredulous look and muttered, "How is this possible... My Star Power is gone!"

At this moment, on the stone stele.

In its place, an extraordinarily fierce sword intent spread outward.

Lin Mofeng's expression shifted abruptly. As he sensed that sword intent, his body actually trembled instinctively.

The residual sword intent alone was enough to prove one thing.

The person who had carved those words possessed terrifying strength, and their comprehension of the sword path had reached perfection, far beyond the limits of his understanding!

At the same time, Old Li gradually calmed down as well.

The sudden incident had clouded his mind just now.

Now that he carefully sensed it, he too discovered that the sword intent on the stone stele was surging and fierce, imposing and overwhelming.

"Eh? What is going on with the contents of this cultivation method?"

At this moment, Lin Mofeng cried out in surprise. Looking at the text on the stone stele, he discovered even more abnormalities.

At this moment, the incomplete portions he had previously carved onto the stone stele had not been damaged in the slightest. The mysterious person had merely added new sections in the additional blank spaces.

But...

Why had he done this?

At that thought, Lin Mofeng's spine suddenly turned cold, and a terrifying notion surged into his mind!

Could it be that person had completed this Grandmaster-level cultivation method!?

"Impossible... Absolutely impossible!"

One had to know that this was a Grandmaster-level Star Power Cultivation Method!

Completing a Grandmaster-level cultivation method was immensely difficult. Even spending more than a decade on it might not be enough to succeed.

Even the highly respected Old Professors in the imperial capital would not easily attempt such a task.

And in this tiny Jianghai City... how could such a powerful figure possibly appear?! Yet.

Still filled with doubt, Lin Mofeng followed the newly added steps on the stone stele and tried circulating the true essence within his body.

The result.

It truly flowed without the slightest obstruction. His true essence circulated through the Meridians in his body, incomparably smooth and natural, as though formed by heaven itself! Facts did not lie.

Lin Mofeng stared blankly at the stone stele, feeling as though his worldview had suffered an enormous blow! "That person... really completed the cultivation method, Teacher..."

Lin Mofeng choked out the words, muttering to himself.

At this moment.

His Dao Heart had shattered... A fragmented cultivation method that had remained incomplete for a thousand years had actually been effortlessly completed overnight!

It was simply unheard of.

Just what kind of person could possess such heaven-defying means?! "What?!"

Old Li, standing nearby, was equally stunned upon hearing this.

Because when he and Li Zixuan stepped forward to sense the sword intent on it, they suddenly found it somewhat familiar.

"This is... Senior's sword intent! Senior completed it!"

Old Li raised his white brows and spoke in shock, immediately understanding everything.

Li Zixuan, standing beside him, also understood at once. Her face immediately filled with worship, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Teacher, as expected of you!
