"I refuse!" Ling Yuanzi exclaimed in shock.
Headmaster Ling Feng, a seven-star Dou Xian, had just resigned from the Earth Courtyard, and now two headmasters from the Spirit Academy were submitting their resignations at the same time.

This alone showed that seven-star Dou Xian were the greatest powers in the Lihun Domain beneath its supreme ruler. With Diling Academy losing two top experts at once, its standing would likely fall to the bottom of the Five Academies.
