Return to the Academy

This "little tiger" was naturally the Spined Iron-Armored Dragon, Sadius. However, at Lin Feng's strong insistence, Sadius had to shrink its body and retract its dorsal spines. At first glance, it truly resembled a "little tiger."

"Finally back." Seeing the Ernst Institute, Lin Feng felt a sense of peace wash over his heart.

The Ernst Institute and the Magical Beast Mountain Range were polar opposites. Here, no one dared to kill indiscriminately, and the atmosphere was pleasant. The Magical Beast Mountain Range, on the other hand, was a world of magical beasts where the strong reigned supreme and the weak were eliminated. Slaughter could happen at any moment.

"It's Lin Feng." The guards at the gate of the Ernst Institute naturally recognized Lin Feng, a celebrity of the academy, and did not stop him.

Lin Feng nodded slightly at the guards and then strode into the Ernst Institute. Walking along the academy streets, many Ernst students who had already gone to class saw Lin Feng and began to whisper amongst themselves.

"It's Lin Feng. Look, he still has bloodstains on him. He must have just returned from the Magical Beast Mountain Range. I heard he went to the Magical Beast Mountain Range last year and didn't even participate in the year-end assessment. That's been ten months! Staying in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for ten months, he's truly amazing!"

"Dixie reached Level Six Mage in the year-end assessment last year, but Lin Feng didn't take the test."

Listening to the murmurs, Lin Feng was slightly taken aback. "Dixie is back? Then Dilia should be back too."

With this thought, Lin Feng immediately changed direction and headed towards the Sixth Grade Wind Magic Classroom.

It was currently time for Wind Magic class, and Lin Feng knew that as long as he didn't cause any trouble, Dilia, that diligent and studious girl, would absolutely not skip class.

Arriving outside the classroom, Lin Feng peered inside through the window. As expected, he saw Dilia sitting in the front row, attentively listening to the instructor explain the magical principles of "Wind Roar."

After a year and a half apart, Dilia had matured considerably. Now sixteen years old, the childishness on her face had been completely replaced by the aura of youth. Her golden hair, paired with her sweet and beautiful face, made her a rare beauty. Furthermore, Dilia had always cultivated Wind Magic, and her long-term affinity with wind elements added a touch of ethereal grace to her.

Gazing at the person he deeply loved, who was diligently attending class, Lin Feng was momentarily mesmerized.

"Is that Lin Feng? The academy's number one genius, Lin Feng?"

Suddenly, a startled cry pulled Lin Feng back to reality.

It turned out that a female student sitting next to Dilia had casually glanced at Lin Feng and, unable to contain herself, had exclaimed in surprise.

"Lin Feng?"

Upon hearing the name, Dilia immediately turned her head. She saw Lin Feng standing outside the window, his sturdy figure, his familiar and handsome face, his...

Lin Feng smiled slightly and walked into the classroom. He politely bowed to the stunned instructor and said, "Instructor, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"N-no problem!" the instructor stammered in response.

Although he was Lin Feng's instructor, he genuinely admired the Ernst Institute's number one genius from the bottom of his heart. In the Sixth Grade Magic Class he taught, apart from Dilia, the youngest student was over twenty, and he himself, nearing forty, had only just reached Level Eight Magister.

Lin Feng walked up to the girl who had exclaimed earlier and said with a smile, "Classmate, may I take your seat?"

"O-of course!"

The girl immediately moved to the side, giving up her original seat next to Dilia to Lin Feng.

This girl had also heard that Lin Feng and Dilia were a couple. Eight years ago, the farce of Lin Feng publicly confessing his love to Dilia had already caused a stir throughout the academy. Anyone with a bit of a gossipy mind in the academy would have heard about it.

"He's Lin Feng? So handsome. He spoke so gently just now, and also..."

For the next half of the class, the girl was lost in her own fantasies. The situation was similar for most of the girls in the class.

Lin Feng sat down next to Dilia, gestured for the instructor to continue the lesson, and then turned his head to gaze intently at Dilia, unconcerned about whether his actions, sitting in the front row, would affect the students in the back.

Dilia, being naturally reserved, was almost mortified to be stared at so brazenly by Lin Feng in public, but inwardly, she was extremely delighted and sweet.

During the year and a half they were apart, Dilia lived every moment in longing and anxiety, having no mind for cultivation. This was the direct reason why her strength had not improved at all in the past year and a half, remaining at the peak of Level Six.

Suddenly, Dilia felt her hand, placed under the desk, being held. Her heart leaped, but she didn't struggle. Her already flushed face turned even redder.

"Boss, I, Beibei, despise you. You've forgotten your brother now that you have a wife. Wuwu, I'm so pitiful!" Beibei's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Feng's mind.

"Go away, go somewhere cool. Can't you see I'm reuniting with your sister-in-law?" Lin Feng retorted impatiently. "You take Sadius to the dormitory first. I'll be there after class."

After trying to teach for ten minutes, the instructor saw that the students' attention had shifted to Lin Feng and reluctantly announced that the remaining time would be for self-study.

The academy's number one genius had far greater charm than him. Moreover, he was a genius who appeared only rarely, further piquing the students' curiosity. Compared to Lin Feng, his instructor was naturally ignored.

The class bell rang, and Lin Feng directly pulled Dilia out of the classroom.

They ran to a secluded corner, and Dilia finally couldn't help but throw herself into Lin Feng's embrace, sobbing softly.

"Lin Feng, I'll never be separated from you again."

Lin Feng inwardly gave a wry smile. These were the words he had said to Dilia before, and now Dilia was repeating them. But could he do it? No! He still had a great revenge to exact, and not long ago, Dilin had been released by him. If nothing unexpected happened, the "Day of Destruction" that Dilin created in the original story would still arrive as scheduled. At that time, if Dilia were still here, it would be extremely dangerous, and Lin Feng would not allow Dilia to stay.

"I might not be able to," Lin Feng thought, struggling inwardly. He decided to tell the truth. At this moment, it was time to tell Dilia some things.

"W-why?" Dilia stared at Lin Feng with tear-filled eyes. "Don't you love me anymore?"

Lin Feng clearly felt Dilia's delicate body tremble. Hearing her words, he quickly said, "Never. Mountains may crumble and the earth may split, but my love for you will never end."

"Then, why do you still..." Dilia said cautiously.

"There are some things I can't explain to you clearly right now. You'll understand when the time comes. Just know that you will always be the dearest in my heart," Lin Feng whispered affectionately into Dilia's ear.

Hearing this, Dilia's heart finally settled.

"Let's go, Dilia, I'll take you to see something." Lin Feng pulled Dilia and headed towards Dormitory 1987.
