Director Su's eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Ye Mu.
The strength of a four-ring Soul Ancestor needed no explanation in a junior academy.
Many students took several steps back.
They had yet to recover from Ye Mu's transformation.
Only when they sensed Director Su's Soul Power fluctuations did they come back to their senses.
Everyone knew the relationship between Su Tianqi and Director Su.
Now that Su Tianqi had been defeated by Ye Mu and his life or death was unknown, Director Su certainly would not let it go.
He would surely find an opportunity to take revenge!
What no one had expected was that he would make a move on the spot.
"Gray Wolf Possession!"
Director Su roared furiously, and his Soul Power surged wildly.
But at that moment, a vigorous, powerful voice suddenly rang out.
"Possession? Possess your sister!"
As the voice fell, a figure descended from the sky and landed squarely on Director Su's head.
With one foot, Director Su's legs went weak and he dropped to his knees. All his Soul Power dispersed.
Even the four Spirit Rings beneath his feet withdrew.
"Wow! Who's that?"
"So powerful! He just suddenly appeared!"
"What a fierce old man. Is he some hidden expert from the academy?"
The students cried out in shock.
When Ye Mu saw the person standing on Director Su's head, his mind buzzed.
"R-Riven?"
He had never imagined that Old Riven would be the one to appear.
And he was so fierce.
The moment he appeared, he directly stomped Director Su beneath his feet.
That strength was simply heaven-defying!
Only now did Ye Mu suddenly realize that he did not truly know Old Riven very well.
He did not even know what rank Soul Master Old Riven was.
But judging from the situation, Old Riven's rank had to be extremely high!
He might be a five-ring Soul King, or perhaps even a Soul Emperor!
"Damn it! Who exactly are you? Get down! Get down!"
Director Su was so furious that his lungs nearly exploded.
Someone had actually stepped on his head?
It was a tremendous humiliation!
"Little brat, that mouth of yours is filthy."
Old Riven tapped Director Su's head with his Big Tobacco Pipe, producing loud thunks.
After only a few strikes, Director Su's head was covered in bumps and stars danced before his eyes.
Old Riven leaped down and turned to look behind the rostrum.
The academy headmaster, seated in the middle, suddenly jolted to his feet and hurried down.
"Teacher, why have you come?"
The headmaster ran up before Old Riven with a fawning smile.
The entire venue was stunned by those words.
This old man was actually the headmaster's teacher?
It was truly shocking and unbelievable.
Even Ye Mu was somewhat dazed.
The headmaster's cultivation was not weak; he was a Soul King of over level fifty.
Someone who could be his teacher should be an even more formidable expert.
Just how high was Old Riven's cultivation?
Old Riven glanced at the headmaster and sneered. "You little thing, weren't you planning to watch the show just now? Why did you suddenly decide to come down?"
"Teacher, I-I, well, I..."
The headmaster gave a dry laugh, at a loss for what to do.
"I can't be bothered with you. I came today to take Ye Mu away. You had the nerve to arrange something as boring as this mobilization meeting?"
"I know Ye Mu's situation better than any of you. I was the one who tampered with his Soul Power, understand?"
"Understood, understood."
The headmaster nodded repeatedly.
He had previously wondered why Ye Mu's Soul Power had shown no movement for six years, only to suddenly rise by more than ten levels.
But if his teacher had tampered with it, then it made perfect sense.
After all, his teacher's methods were unfathomable and exceedingly strange.
Hiding Soul Power or suppressing Soul Power did not seem all that unusual.
"Fine, I'll take him away now."
Old Riven did not want to remain at the academy for too long.
"As for this piece of trash, deal with him as you see fit."
The headmaster caught Old Riven's look, and his heart tightened.
Director Su likely would not meet a good end.
Being driven out of Spirit City would be the lightest punishment. If it was serious, he might even vanish from the face of the earth.
"There's no need to hold these mobilization meetings in the future."
"B-But weren't you the one who first proposed them?"
The headmaster muttered under his breath. When he saw Old Riven's gaze again, he ultimately did not dare say another word and obediently stood to one side.
"Ye Mu, let's go home. Oh, and there's no need for Ye Mu's graduation assessment. His strength has long since met the standard."
Old Riven called out, and only then did Ye Mu walk over.
The two left the academy together, while the teachers and students at the scene looked at one another.
Everything had happened so suddenly, and ended just as suddenly.
They had thought Ye Mu had no background, but now a powerful expert had suddenly emerged to protect him, leaving them utterly confused.
Moreover, the relationship between the headmaster and that expert was truly intriguing.
After watching the two leave, the headmaster finally let out a sigh of relief. Looking at Director Su, who was still kneeling on the ground, he frowned.
"Director Su, your actions just now were wholly unbefitting of the academy's admissions director. Therefore, you are dismissed."
"What? I-I..."
Director Su abruptly raised his head.
The admissions director position was a lucrative one, yet he was actually being fired?
"What? Do you still want to stay at the academy? Don't be ridiculous. Offending Teacher means expelling you from the academy would already be the lightest punishment."
"If I were you, I would leave Spirit City immediately."
The headmaster sneered and turned away.
There was no need to continue this mobilization meeting.
After such a disturbance, the other students probably had no interest in participating either.
Director Su knelt on the ground, completely at a loss.
Was the headmaster reminding him, or warning him?
That old man was merely the Library's former administrator, yet his cultivation was extraordinarily profound.
Only now did he recall that his Soul Power had been suppressed in an instant.
Even the headmaster could never have done such a thing.
In other words, that old man's cultivation had likely reached the Soul Emperor level, perhaps even the Soul Saint level!
He had offended a Soul Saint?
At that thought, he shuddered and hurriedly climbed to his feet, grabbed Su Tianqi, and fled.
Meanwhile, Ye Mu followed Old Riven along the road back to the Library.
"Ye Mu, why are you so quiet?"
"This old bag of bones isn't too bad, is it? I can intimidate an entire crowd too."
Old Riven was in high spirits, puffing away at his tobacco pipe.
From the look of it, he had not taken what had just happened to heart at all.
It was as though he had merely done something insignificant.
But to Ye Mu, it had been deeply shocking.
They had spent six years together, yet Ye Mu had known nothing of the other man's true identity or strength.
It was simply terrifying.
"Riven, what you did today was really... too frightening."
Ye Mu spoke slowly.
Anyone would have been shocked.
The harmless-looking old man by his side had suddenly turned into a powerful expert!
"Hehe, I've cultivated for many years, after all. It's normal for me to have some strength. What are your plans after graduation? Are you preparing to join Spirit Hall Academy, or go to another academy?"
"From the sound of it, Riven, you have a recommendation?"
Ye Mu was no fool. He knew Old Riven must be planning something.
Perhaps he had connections that could get him into an Advanced Soul Master Academy.
He might even be able to arrange entry into Spirit Hall Academy, the hardest academy to join.
"Riven, just who are you?"
