Jia Nan Academy Infiltration Plan

[You displayed a bit of your strength.]

[Of course, you only revealed the level of a one-star Dou Zong.]

[Such strength was enough to shock Hu Gan while remaining within Su Qian's controllable range. It was very safe.]

[Upon sensing your strength, Hu Gan's expression changed drastically.]

[His expression immediately became serious and solemn.]

[Hu Gan said: I'm very sorry, but this is too important for me to decide alone. I must discuss it with the Great Elder of the Inner Academy.]

[You nodded and, under the arrangements of an Outer Academy elder, waited temporarily in the reception hall.]

[Not long after.]

[Hu Gan returned again. Accompanying him was an old man named Su Qian, the Great Elder of the Inner Academy.]

[The one who currently held actual authority over the academy.]

[Su Qian had heard that you were very young and had mentally prepared himself, but upon seeing you, he was still greatly shocked.]

[A Dou Zong powerhouse under twenty!]

[Even across the entire Dou Qi Continent, such a person was exceedingly rare.]

[Su Qian asked why you had chosen to join Jia Nan Academy.]

[With your strength, you could become an honored guest of any faction on the Northwest Continent.]

[You smiled faintly and said inscrutably: Passing on knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving doubts—that is the original purpose of my cultivation.]

[Su Qian and Hu Gan both narrowed their eyes upon hearing your answer.]

[They had not expected that, despite your young age, you possessed such profound ideals. Their opinion of you rose considerably.]

[However, they did not immediately agree. After all, you had appeared out of nowhere, and they knew little about you.]

[You could understand that.]

[You were temporarily assigned to the Outer Academy, with no specific duties.]

[Over the following months, you came out every day to guide students in practicing Dou Techniques, and also instructed some students in alchemy.]

[Gradually, you gained an extremely high reputation within the academy.]

[Coupled with the several times you killed troublemakers from the Black Corner Region.]

[You had passed Hu Gan's test.]

[Su Qian also agreed.]

[Thus, you officially became both an elder and teacher of Jia Nan Academy.]

[You followed Su Qian as you officially entered the Inner Academy.]

[Su Qian introduced you to several elders of the Inner Academy.]

[Upon learning that you were a Dou Zong under twenty!]

[They all looked at you with envy.]

[Among them were quite a few who were already several decades old yet only Dou Wangs.]

[You told them that you had also studied alchemy.]

[Elder Huo of the Alchemy Department nearly had his eyes pop out of their sockets!]

[Especially after learning that you were also a Seventh-grade Alchemist, he was so envious that tears streamed down his aged face. He insisted on asking you for guidance in the way of alchemy.]

[The others requested that you teach them the secrets of Dou Qi cultivation.]

[They wanted to improve too badly.]

[...]

[You generously shared with them.]

[In this way, you successfully became one with them.]

[Your goal was achieved.]

[You began appearing frequently wherever the students cultivated.]

[The students you guided broke through.]

[The Alchemy Department students you instructed improved.]

[You became an idol in the students' hearts.]

[They all looked forward to the day they could become superpowered experts like you!]

[You began following the elders on inspections of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.]

[The opportunity was right before you, but you did not act.]

[In the days that followed, you continued maintaining your previous pace of life.]

[You searched among the students for Zi Yan, but unfortunately, you did not find her.]

[You asked the other elders, but no one had heard of a little girl called the Brute Force King.]

[You found nothing in the deep mountains of the Inner Academy either.]

[Not finding Zi Yan did not hinder your plans.]

[You told Su Qian that you had sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough and were preparing to find a place to enter seclusion and break through.]

[Su Qian nodded woodenly. It was only long after you had disappeared that he came back to his senses.]

[He felt that he had picked up a genius! Once the headmaster returned, he would surely praise Su Qian for his keen eye for talent.]

[You knew nothing of Su Qian's wild imaginings.]

[After leaving the Inner Academy, you crossed the many mountain ranges around it and returned to Heavenly Burial Ravine. After staying briefly for a few days, you returned to the Black Corner Region.]

[You paid a visit to the Eight Fan Gate.]

[Yuan Yi finally found the fragmentary map you wanted.]

[You took the fragmentary map and returned to the Inner Academy, ready to begin carrying out your plan...]
