Wandao Academy Sends an Envoy, Inviting Him to Become the Fourth Trial

The Ten Directions Immortal Court, the Qin Clan.

Wangchuan Pavilion.

Qin Wangchuan sat upright in his room, opening the letter sent by Zhao Lingyun.

He lightly traced the papers with his fingertips, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Zhao Lingyun truly lives up to his Talisman Dao Prodigy. He had only mentioned it verbally before, discussing the possibility of combining the Heaven and Earth Law with Paper Soldier, but unexpectedly, he has already produced it in just one month."

"Although it's only a semi-finished product."

Qin Wangchuan thought to himself, a smile of appreciation curving his lips.

Zhao Lingyun was also very smart. Knowing that someone would cover for her, she didn't stubbornly tackle those difficult problems, but only did what she could.

As for those unsolvable problems, they were cleverly left to Qin Wangchuan.

This stack of notes and Paper Soldier is like a poorly maintained room that has been carefully patched up. Although it is still rough, it saves Qin Wangchuan the huge trouble of building a framework from scratch.

He immediately became engrossed in it and began working on improvements.

"The weapons of the Heaven and Earth Law do not require traditional Spirit Gathering Formation or rune inscriptions at their core; rather, they serve as the 'skeleton' and 'extension' of the Heaven and Earth Law itself."

"It needs to be integrated with the Heaven and Earth Law, with the two closely connected, so that the Paper Soldier can serve as the carriers of the power of the Heaven and Earth Law, changing and being used at will."

Qin Wangchuan's thoughts raced rapidly, enhanced by ninety-seven times the Origin Source.

Various ideas collided and merged in his mind.

Just a few days later, he had completely perfected the concept of "Heaven and Earth Law Paper Soldier" and produced a preliminary finished product.

Name: Dao Shu Bing.

After finishing the work, Qin Wangchuan waved his hand.

Rows of papers made of special materials flew flexibly in the air, eventually forming a straight "one".

Although these Talisman Paper are simple at the moment, Qin Wangchuan knows that once the Heaven and Earth Law is activated, they will be able to display astonishing power.

"It's a pity I haven't reached the Supreme Realm yet, but the theory shouldn't be wrong."

He nodded in satisfaction and left a portion of the results with the Qin Clan, to be verified by the Lineage's Supreme Being.

The other part was sent back to Zhao Lingyun as the initial result of their collaboration.

I had just finished all of this and was just about to pick up my pen.

Qin Wangchuan keenly sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching his pavilion.

One of them was Qin Wenhe, a teacher he knew well.

Qin Wangchuan ignored it, and instead lowered his head, writing the final annotations on the book about "Dao Shu Bing".

Sensing that the person had arrived at the door, he said without looking up, "Teacher, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wenhe exchanged a glance with an elderly man beside him who was wearing a dark blue robe from the Wandao Academy.

The two then actually stood still and waited patiently.

Inside the attic, only the scratching sound of Qin Wangchuan's pen remained.

Only after Qin Wangchuan finished writing everything did he hand the book to Ye Jianwei, who was waiting nearby, and whispered a few instructions for the follow-up arrangements.

After doing all this, Qin Wangchuan finally raised his head and looked at the two guests.

One of them, needless to say, is teacher Qin Wenhe.

Beside him stood an old man dressed in a white and blue robe, embroidered with ancient star patterns, as if the vast galaxy had been frozen within it.

Qin Wangchuan recognized it at a glance as the iconic uniform of the Wandao Academy.

"Wangchuan, this is Elder Liang from the Wandao Academy," Qin Wenhe introduced with a smile.

Elder Liang stroked his long beard, smiled broadly, and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "I have long heard that the Qin Clan Divine Son is unparalleled in the world. Seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved; his demeanor is extraordinary."

Qin Wangchuan returned the greeting, and they exchanged polite, business-like compliments.

After exchanging pleasantries, Qin Wenhe got straight to the point.

"Wandao Academy originally had three thresholds for entry, but this tradition needs to be changed." Qin Wenhe said, his gaze falling meaningfully on Qin Wangchuan. "You will be the fourth test for entry into the Wandao Academy."

"Me?" Qin Wangchuan was slightly taken aback.

He glanced at Elder Liang, who was nodding at him with a smile on his face.

He glanced at his teacher and immediately understood.

"Is this Lineage arrangement?" he asked.

Qin Wenhe nodded, his smile deepening, "Exactly. The Patriarch and the Academy reached an agreement. Originally, it wasn't necessarily going to be you, but considering that you were also going to the Wandao Academy, we decided to let you do it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wangchuan immediately understood the cause and effect, a playful smile appearing on his lips as he softly chuckled, "It wasn't necessarily me?"

"Teacher, you're joking."

"Is this so-called fourth test created just for me?"

Qin Wenhe's smile widened, but he didn't speak; only his eyes held a hint of approval.

As the Qin Clan Divine Son, he naturally needs to undergo many trials.

This venue is perfect for Prodigy Gathering.

The others didn't receive this treatment, after all, Wandao Academy was truly neutral.

The fact that they made an exception for him shows how much the Qin Clan values Qin Wangchuan, as well as the inherent value of Qin Wangchuan himself.

After Qin Wangchuan voiced his concern. "With so many people being admitted, wouldn't it be exhausting for everyone to go through this ordeal?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Liang smiled and waved his hand, dispelling his concerns. "Divine Son, you are overthinking it."

"Only those who pass the first three tests are qualified to choose the fourth. It is a choice, not a requirement."

In the end, Qin Wangchuan nodded in agreement, after all, it was an arrangement made by his Lineage.

The so-called Lineage, to put it bluntly...

It was actually arranged by our Old Ancestor.

Seeing this, Elder Liang stroked his beard with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Very well, I will come to Divine Son in a while."

After saying this, Elder Liang took his leave, and Qin Wenhe also got up and saw him out of the pavilion.

After the two left, the attic returned to silence.

Watching the two figures leave, Qin Wangchuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his gaze instantly met that of a small head peeking out from beside the door.

The owner of that little head was none other than Qin Zhaoer.

Realizing she'd been discovered, she dropped the pretense, gave a snort, and swaggered in.

Today, she wore a crimson Gauze Skirt with delicate gold butterfly patterns embroidered on the hem. As she moved, the butterfly patterns seemed to come alive, fluttering gracefully among the fabric of her skirt.

What's most striking is that Qin Zhaoer wasn't wearing shoes or socks today; she walked in with her bare, jade-like feet exposed.

A delicate Fine Gold Chain adorned her slender ankle, its bells jingling melodiously.

Each step she took was like that of a charming cat, her waist swaying slightly, drawing a lazy yet alluring line that gently tickled one's heart.

The girl's graceful figure swayed to the edge of the table, her body went limp, and she sank into the spot where Qin Wangchuan had just been sitting.

She even deliberately raised her long, jade-like foot, adorned with bells, and defiantly drew a circle in the air with her toes before lazily picking up a Spirit Fruit. Her red lips parted slightly, and she gently bit it, her muffled complaint laced with a sweet, cloying tone.

"The Divine Son is such a busy person, unlike me—nobody even cares about me."

Qin Wangchuan raised an eyebrow, looking at her self-righteous appearance, his gaze sweeping over her curled toes, without saying a word.

I was thinking, "When was the last time I beat her up?" My temper was flaring up again.

Seeing that Qin Wangchuan remained silent, Qin Zhaoer grew even bolder.

"But this place is really comfortable to sit in."

She sat reclining, one leg obediently tucked in, while the other, slender and long, stretched out without reservation, resting directly on the table. She asked, "How about you switch places with me? I can stay at this Wangchuan Pavilion?"

Qin Wangchuan still didn't reply, but turned to Ye Jianwei and called out, "Jianwei."

Qin Zhaoer didn't understand what this meant, but Ye Jianwei nodded knowingly.

She flashed and reappeared, now holding a ruler in her hand, which she respectfully handed to Qin Wangchuan.

Jiexin Ruler!

Upon seeing the ruler, Qin Zhaoer's expression changed drastically. She immediately threw away the Spirit Fruit in her hand, cried out in alarm, and tried to run away.

But it didn't work.

With a flick of his finger, Qin Wangchuan sent two thin, hair-like Heavenly Suspended Silk flying out from his hair. They silently wrapped around Qin Zhaoer, binding her tightly and rendering her unable to move.

Then, Ye Jianwei forward and "helped" her up, leaving her in an awkward position.

Qin Wangchuan picked up the ruler, weighed it in his hand, and then mercilessly struck Qin Zhaoer's bottom.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

A crisp sound echoed in the attic, followed by Qin Zhaoer's pig-like screams. "Wrong~ Wrong!!"

"Ah--! No! Don't spank me!!" She twisted her body, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain, yet her voice held a stubborn resentment. "Qin Wangchuan, you bastard! I'll never talk to you again!"

Qin Wangchuan ignored her and continued to swing the ruler rhythmically until Qin Zhaoer's screams turned from initial anger to tearful pleas for mercy, her face flushed red and tears welling in her eyes. Only then did he finally stop.
