Dugu Yan also put away her provocative posture, revealing a well-behaved smile.
"Master, there are still some aspects of my spirit ring that I haven't fully mastered, and I was just looking for you."
Ning Rongrong at the doorway reacted even faster; she hurriedly pushed open the courtyard gate and trotted up to Chen Xuan, a sweet smile on her face.
"Dean Master! I... my martial soul just evolved and my foundation is unstable, so I wanted to ask you to help me consolidate it!"
Looking at the three pretty faces before him, all of which were written with "thirst for knowledge," a trace of helpless amusement flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes.
How could he not know what these little girls were thinking?
"Come in, all of you."
He shook his head and turned to walk into the house.
"If you have any questions, we'll discuss them inside."
"Yes!"
The three girls replied in unison, their voices crisp and melodious.
They followed behind Chen Xuan, exchanging glances with one another, each seeing a hint of smug delight in the others' eyes at having their schemes succeed.
By evening, the afterglow of the setting sun had dyed the entire Blue Silver Academy a warm orange-red.
Chen Xuan saw off the three girls, who were still unsatisfied, and returned to the courtyard alone.
He stood in the yard, his mind stirring.
"System, extract the 'Supreme Spiritual Vein'."
[Ding! Supreme Spiritual Vein extraction successful!]
As the system's prompt sounded, a brilliant, dazzling ball of light appeared out of thin air in the palm of Chen Xuan's hand.
The orb was only the size of a fist, yet it seemed to contain an entire world; within it, phantom images of mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars flickered in and out of existence, radiating an ancient and majestic aura originating from the dawn of creation.
"Go!"
Chen Xuan flicked his finger.
The orb transformed into a streak of light, instantly plunging deep into the ground of the courtyard and vanishing from sight.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred!
Hum--
An invisible ripple centered on Chen Xuan's courtyard boomed outward, spreading across the entire Blue Silver Academy!
In an instant, everyone within the academy felt it.
The air had changed.
The air, which had previously been only slightly fresher than the outside world, now became as thick as honey.
With every breath, it felt as if they were inhaling the purest energy of heaven and earth, causing all thirty-six thousand pores on their bodies to open and greedily devour this sweet nectar.
The flowers, plants, and trees in the academy became more verdant and lush at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even some flower buds that were about to bloom quietly burst open at this very moment.
In the student dormitory area.
"Th-this... what is going on?"
A student who had been meditating cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of shock.
Just a moment ago, he felt the speed at which his soul power circulated within his body suddenly accelerate by more than several times!
"My god! This spiritual energy density... it's at least ten times thicker than before!"
Another student jumped off his bed, feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him that was almost liquefying, his voice trembling.
"I feel... I feel like my bottleneck has loosened!"
"Me too! What on earth happened?"
The entire dormitory area was in an uproar; countless students rushed out of their rooms, feeling this sudden windfall from heaven, their faces filled with shock and ecstasy.
"Do you even need to ask?"
A voice rang out from the crowd, filled with immense reverence and fanaticism.
"In this Blue Silver Academy, who else but the Dean could possess such heaven-defying means?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd fell silent for a moment before erupting into thunderous cheers.
"It's the Dean!"
"The Dean's divine power is peerless!"
"Being able to join the Blue Silver Academy is the greatest fortune of my life!"
Every student looked toward the depths of the academy with eyes full of heartfelt fanaticism and worship.
They had gained a brand new, earth-shattering realization of Chen Xuan's power.
Amidst the jubilant atmosphere of the academy, a tall, thin figure froze in the shadows of a secluded corner.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong had merged his form almost entirely with the darkness, his aura suppressed to the absolute limit.
He had been sent by Ning Fengzhi to investigate the background of the Blue Silver Academy and its mysterious dean.
Yet, no sooner had he infiltrated the grounds than he encountered such a celestial phenomenon!
He felt the surrounding spiritual energy, which was thick to the point of absurdity, and his heart surged with turbulent waves.
Heaven Dou City!
He was far too familiar with this city!
Since when had such a blessed land of paradise existed here?
Let alone Heaven Dou City, even the secret grounds within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not possess a tenth of the spiritual energy concentration found here!
Moreover, this spiritual energy had manifested from nothingness, generated in an instant!
Could it be...
A thought, one he found absurd even to himself, surfaced in his mind.
Could this truly be the handiwork of that Blue Silver Academy dean?
This was no longer a feat within the reach of human power; it was nothing short of a miracle!
Just as Gu Rong's mind was reeling, a calm voice tinged with a hint of a smile sounded in his ear without the slightest warning.
"It is a pleasure to have a friend visit from afar."
"My friend, would you like to come up and have a cup of tea?"
Every hair on Gu Rong's body stood on end in that instant!
His pupils contracted, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He had been discovered?!
How was that possible!
He had used the power of space to conceal his form, assimilating his aura completely with the surrounding environment.
Even Chen Xin, a fellow Titled Douluo, would have no way of detecting him while not in a state of combat!
Just how had this Chen Xuan discovered him?
A bead of cold sweat seeped from Gu Rong's forehead.
This person... was unfathomable!
With things having reached this point, there was no longer any meaning in hiding.
Gu Rong steeled his heart, gritted his teeth, and decided to stop pretending.
He stepped slowly out of the shadows, his tall, thin figure exposed under the moonlight, a grave light flickering in his deep-set eye sockets.
He looked up toward the second floor of the courtyard not far away, his voice raspy as he spoke.
"I have long heard of the great name of the Blue Silver Academy dean. Seeing you today, your reputation is well-deserved! This old man, Gu Rong, has come specifically to seek some pointers!"
As his voice fell, the window on the second floor was pushed open.
Chen Xuan's figure appeared by the window, holding a teapot in his hand, leisurely pouring himself a cup of tea. The moonlight reflected on his face, revealing neither joy nor anger.
He raised his teacup toward Gu Rong below, his tone remaining indifferent.
"Pointers are fine."
"However, you should drink this cup of tea first."
"Tea does not taste good once it has gone cold."
The corner of Gu Rong's eye twitched.
Pretending to be profound!
A surge of anger rose in his heart, provoked by the other party's attitude of completely disregarding him.
"There is no need for tea!"
Gu Rong let out a cold snort and ceased suppressing his aura.
"Let this old man see exactly what qualifications you have to be so arrogant!"
Boom!
A terrifying, extreme momentum erupted violently from his thin, tall frame!
Black soul power spread out like ink, and nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—rose suddenly from beneath his feet, dazzling and eye-catching!
The momentum of a level 95 Titled Douluo soared into the sky without reservation!
