With Zhou Pingxia watching him with eager anticipation for some "mischief,"
Lin Mu left the office.
He followed several quiet, tree-lined paths and soon arrived in front of a magnificent building in the back of Shengjing Academy's grounds.
This was the Holy Temple of Shengjing Academy.
Unlike the somewhat old and dilapidated Holy Temple in Xilin City,
this building was made entirely of a special stone that gave off a gentle white glow.
Except for the doors and windows, not a single seam marred its seamless, natural structure.
At the entrance stood two lifelike stone statues, each ten meters tall.
They radiated a chilling pressure.
Lin Mu could even sense the terrifying energy within them, enough to instantly kill a Third Advancement professional.
"As expected of the Huaxia First Academy. Even its Holy Temple is this grand."
Lin Mu praised it inwardly and stepped inside.
The hall was spacious and solemn.
An intricate star chart had been painted across the domed ceiling.
At the center of the hall stood a Class Advancement Altar.
Beside it stood a young woman dressed in a pristine white priestess robe.
She was tall and strikingly beautiful.
Her bearing was otherworldly, cool and aloof.
Her indifferent gaze settled on Lin Mu as he entered.
She merely glanced at his level, then showed no further reaction.
"Second Advancement?"
The woman's red lips parted, her voice cool as jade.
"Yes."
Lin Mu nodded, unconcerned by her attitude.
He was used to letting his strength speak for itself.
"Put your hand on it."
The woman spoke sparingly and pointed at the black altar.
Lin Mu did as she said.
The instant his palm touched the altar's cold surface,
the familiar black light emerged again and enveloped him.
