Ah Yin's Gratitude! Turbulent Times at Blue Silver Academy!

Shouts of shock and fanaticism rose one after another; the students who had been full of skepticism toward Chen Xuan now looked at him with nothing but awe and worship.

They had witnessed the birth of a miracle with their own eyes.

And the one who had created this miracle was the calm and composed young man on the podium.

Ye Lingling slowly regained her senses. She turned her head stiffly to look at the "Nine-Heart Immortal Begonia" behind her, which was radiating an immortal aura, and felt the soul power within her body, which was several times more vast and pure than before. She was completely stunned.

She reached out her slender, fair fingers and gently touched the newly sprouted golden leaf.

A sharp yet vibrant aura surged from her fingertips.

This was no longer pure healing.

It also contained... aggression!

She had succeeded; she had truly broken the curse that had plagued her family for hundreds of years!

All of this stemmed from just a few words from this teacher.

On the podium, Chen Xuan's gaze swept across the room and finally landed on Ye Lingling.

His voice remained indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Now, do you believe?"

A simple sentence, yet it possessed infinite magic.

Thump!

A student in the front row could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart; he slid from his seat and knelt before Chen Xuan.

"Teacher! Please accept this student's kowtow!"

Where there was one, there was a second, a third...

In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of students in the classroom were all kneeling in unison, their young faces filled with fanaticism.

"We were foolish to doubt you, Teacher. Please punish us!"

"Teacher is truly a god among men!"

Ye Lingling's delicate body trembled, and she walked quickly to the podium, bowing deeply to Chen Xuan.

When she raised her head, her beautiful, peerless face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes were shimmering with tears, filled with an unshakeable sense of worship and gratitude.

"Thank you, Teacher, for your guidance! Ye Lingling... will never forget this kindness!"

Her voice trembled with overwhelming emotion.

The curse that had haunted her family for centuries had finally been broken today; this debt of gratitude was as heavy as Mount Tai!

As she looked at Chen Xuan, she suddenly felt as if this young teacher was shrouded in a mysterious halo, making her unable to resist the urge to explore, to draw closer.

The young girl's heart began to beat uncontrollably at this moment.

She wore the academy's standard uniform dress, yet it could not hide her graceful figure, especially her long, beautiful legs partially hidden by the hem of the skirt, which were slightly tensed from excitement, outlining a breathtaking curve.

Chen Xuan looked at her, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Get up."

"This is only the beginning."

What happened at Blue Silver Academy spread like a hurricane, sweeping through the entire soul master circle of Heaven Dou City within half a day.

The Nine Heart Begonia martial soul had evolved in public!

This news was ten thousand times more explosive than the opening of Blue Silver Academy itself!

For a time, in Heaven Dou City, whether they were nobles or commoners, almost every soul master was discussing this matter.

Inside a high-end teahouse in the south of the city, several luxuriously dressed soul masters were gathered together.

"Have you heard? They say the dean of that Blue Silver Academy only needed one lesson to make the heir of the Nine Heart Begonia family evolve her martial soul!"

"Heh, you believe such nonsense?"

A middle-aged Soul Emperor with an arrogant air at the next table let out a scoff upon hearing this.

"Martial soul evolution? That's a legend that only exists in ancient texts! Even Martial Soul Hall is helpless against the shackles of the Nine Heart Begonia. What right does some unknown brat have to claim he can do it?"

"I think this is just a fake rumor spread by Blue Silver Academy to grab attention. It's just hype!"

Another person chimed in: "Exactly! I heard that dean's theories—things like 'trash martial souls can evolve' and 'soul ring absorption depends on willpower'—are simply absurd! They completely violate the common sense of the soul master world!"

"This person is just grandstanding and swindling; he is misleading the youth! His Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted and must have been deceived by such a villain! In my opinion, he should be arrested to set the record straight!"

The middle-aged Soul Emperor grew more agitated as he spoke, his voice rising in volume.

Just then, a figure walked slowly up the stairs of the teahouse.

The newcomer wore the golden formal attire of the Crown Prince, with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament; it was none other than Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe.

She had just finished handling government affairs and intended to take a short break here, but she happened to overhear this conversation.

She stopped in her tracks, a trace of coldness flashing through her golden eyes.

"Who were you calling a villain just now?"

Her voice was soft, yet it caused the entire bustling teahouse to fall instantly silent.

The middle-aged Spirit Emperor turned his head, and upon seeing the Crown Prince, his expression shifted; he hurriedly rose to salute: "Gr-Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Qian Renxue ignored his salute and walked toward him step by step.

"Answer my question."

"I..."

Cold sweat beaded on the middle-aged Spirit Emperor's forehead; under the Crown Prince's gaze, he felt a pressure as heavy as a mountain.

"Your subordinate... your subordinate was speaking of the Dean of Blue Silver Academy, Chen Xuan!"

He braced himself and said: "That man spreads heretical theories and corrupts the atmosphere of the spirit master world; he is truly..."

"Slap him."

Qian Renxue spat out the two words indifferently.

The two guards behind her immediately stepped forward, pinning the Spirit Emperor from left and right.

"Your Highness, you... you cannot..."

Smack!

A crisp slap cut his words short.

Qian Renxue looked at him, her voice devoid of any emotion.

"Is the theory of my teacher something a common mortal like you is qualified to judge?"

"Drag him out."

"Pass on my order: from this day forward, if I hear even half a word of criticism against Blue Silver Academy within Heaven Dou City, the offender will be severely punished without exception."

The guards acknowledged the order and dragged the terrified, pale-faced Spirit Emperor straight out.

The entire teahouse was deathly silent.

The storms of the outside world seemed to have no impact on the tranquility within Blue Silver Academy.

In the backyard, Chen Xuan was sitting before a massive Blue Silver Grass.

This Blue Silver Grass was none other than the true form of Ah Yin.

After these days of nourishment, her aura had stabilized significantly; the golden patterns on her blades were becoming increasingly clear, radiating a noble and majestic life force.

Chen Xuan reached out his hand and gently stroked one of the leaves.

A stream of extremely pure life essence slowly flowed into Ah Yin's body.

The leaves of the Blue Silver Empress swayed gently, emitting a rustling sound as if expressing joy.

A gentle consciousness resonated in Chen Xuan's mind.

"Thank you, Chen Xuan."

It was the voice of Ah Yin.

"Your power makes me feel very comfortable, and my recovery speed has increased quite a bit."

Chen Xuan replied: "Just rest at ease."

Ah Yin's consciousness carried a hint of reliance and gratitude: "You saved my life and have helped me with such dedication... for this kindness, once I take human form, I will certainly do my utmost to repay you."
