Shizuka Hiratsuka felt refreshed. After frantically moving through the air for a while, she experienced the immense benefits of the Moonwalk.

Even using Moonwalk combined with the Tempest Kick that Li Yu developed earlier, it's entirely possible to launch aerial attacks. In the future, martial artists will have even more ranged attack methods.

Thinking this, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly looked towards Li Yu. She was stunned when she saw him, because Li Yu was floating directly in the air.

Seeing Li Yu floating like this, Shizuka Hiratsuka was also somewhat bewildered. She slowly landed on the ground and looked at Li Yu floating in mid-air. Was this Flight Magic?

"He seems to have some skill. How long can he last?" Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but wonder. Judging from Li Yu's demeanor, he seemed capable of lasting quite a while?

At this moment, Li Yu also realized what was happening. He hurriedly flew down from the sky, and Shizuka Hiratsuka, seeing this, also rushed forward and asked, "Is this flight time continuous? How high can it fly? How fast can it fly?"

She bombarded her with a series of questions. The higher the values of the True Magic mentioned above, the more terrifying its value. Space Ring? That's nothing!

"It's continuous. Theoretically speaking, as long as you have enough magic power, you can go as high or as fast as you want!" Li Yu spread his hands and said what he had calculated in his mind!

After all, this True Magic is a continuous output, which means you can fly as high as you want, provided you're not afraid of falling to your death. After all, Li Yu didn't consider any safety issues.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was stunned by Li Yu's answer; she simply couldn't believe what she was hearing—there were no restrictions?!

"Are you kidding me?" Shizuka Hiratsuka was somewhat suspicious that Li Yu was joking. If it were true, the strategic significance would be enormous!

"Do I look like someone who would joke around?" Li Yu looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka speechlessly. What, nobody believes the truth anymore, right?

"Hiss, I'm not doubting you, I just find it too incredible. After all, this means you can do things that only Seventh Tier can do!" If what Li Yu said is true, then flying will no longer be exclusive to Seventh Tier beings!

The strategic significance is enormous. Nowadays, only those who have reached the Seventh Tier can fly; below the Seventh Tier, everyone is just Groudon!

"So, can this be exchanged for Space Ring?" Li Yu wasn't concerned with those details. Since you said it had great strategic significance, could it be exchanged for Space Ring? If so, then it certainly had great significance!

"Yes!" Shizuka Hiratsuka's tone was very confident. If this True Magic couldn't even get her a Space Ring, then probably no one would ever bring out anything they created again!

"That's good. But this True Magic is very difficult. If you can't learn it, don't blame me!" Li Yu gave a heads-up beforehand. After all, this True Magic is quite complicated. He wouldn't take the blame if someone couldn't learn it!

"Don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, those Fifth Tier and Sixth Tier True Magic will do everything they can to learn it, after all..."

"This might be the only chance they'll ever have to learn to fly in their lives!" Hiratsuka Shizuka's lips curled into a slight smile as she said this.

One cannot fly until reaching the Seventh Tier, but there is a huge gap between the Sixth Tier and Seventh Tier. To date, the Seventh Tier is extremely rare in the entire world.

However, there are quite a few at the Sixth Tier, because everyone is stuck here. It's too difficult to break through to the Seventh Tier. Those who can break through are all top talents. Hiratsuka Shizuka has been stuck here for several years.

The True Magic that Li Yu invented allows those True Magic who have been stuck for a long time to fly. Do you think they won't learn it? They'll definitely learn it!

"Come on, let's go find the principal. Yukino, you guys go back to the classroom first." After saying this, Shizuka Hiratsuka pulled Li Yu towards the Principal's Office.

Asuna and the others exchanged glances, but said nothing, and simply turned around and returned to the classroom.

What happened next wasn't really their concern; everyone could just wait for news. The three of them were actually quite curious.

What benefits will Li Yu gain? Will he really be able to get his hands on the Space Ring? That's what everyone is curious about.

Li Yu followed Shizuka Hiratsuka to the principal's office. Shizuka Hiratsuka knocked on the door and only entered after hearing a sound from inside.

The principal was somewhat surprised to see Shizuka Hiratsuka bring Li Yu in, as it was also the first time Li Yu had met this mysterious principal.

You should know that most things at the school are usually managed by the vice principal, that bald, middle-aged man, while the principal rarely shows his face.

Even with the Remembrance of his predecessor, this was the first time he had ever met this principal.

"Principal Hu Li Yu have created a Flight Magic and several Martial Arts. I think we can help them apply for some benefits," Hiratsuka Shizuka said directly.

Principal Hu was an elderly man with white hair, but he possessed a refined and scholarly air, and a subtle yet authoritative presence.

However, although his hair was already white, there were hardly any wrinkles on his face. Was it some kind of magic to preserve his youth? No, or perhaps it was simply that he had reached a certain level of strength and thus became younger?

This made Li Yu curious about the principal's strength. If nothing unexpected happened, this principal was the strongest human Li Yu had ever encountered!

At first glance, he gave off an impression of being someone extraordinary, someone with a powerful background. That was Li Yu's first impression of him.

Li Yu was observing the principal, and the principal was also observing Li Yu. Now, hearing what Shizuka Hiratsuka said, he was also shocked.

"Tell me in detail!" Principal Hu withdrew his gaze from Li Yu and then spoke Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"It's like this..." Shizuka Hiratsuka explained the principles behind several moves, and Principal Hu, who was in charge of Martial Arts, nodded thoughtfully after listening.

"That's certainly feasible, really good. If that were all, you shouldn't have personally brought Li Yu here, should you?" Principal Hu looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a gentle expression.

Hearing Principal Hu's words, Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her head, then chuckled and said, "That's right, Teacher Hu, you know I'm not good at True Magic!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka showed no embarrassment whatsoever; on the contrary, she was quite self-assured. Li Yu was somewhat surprised to hear this form of address. "Teacher Hu? Is this principal Hiratsuka Shizuka's former teacher?"

Li Yu looked at the two thoughtfully. Judging from Principal Hu's age, he should be among the first batch of people to grow up during the spiritual energy revival, right? And he even became Shizuka Hiratsuka's teacher...

"You're still the same as ever. You can't neglect True Magic either. These days, people are more inclined to cultivate both magic and martial arts." Principal Hu found Shizuka Hiratsuka's appearance rather amusing.

His gaze fell upon Li Yu, and then he said gently, "Li Yu, you can explain it. If possible, please demonstrate it directly."

Upon hearing Principal Hu's words, Li Yu nodded and immediately took action, demonstrating the Flight Magic he had created.

Looking at the Magic Array, Principal Hu's expression turned serious. He stared at the patterns in the Magic Array, lost in thought, his mind frantically calculating the mysteries within.

At that very moment, Li Yu's talent activated automatically. Li Yu glanced at Principal Hu without making a sound, and then silently took flight.

This talent... belongs to Principal Hu, right? And it's even related to True Magic? It's somewhat similar to Li Yu's... and not as good as his.

Because this is Magic Echo, which can record other people's True Magic and then release it, but the cost is very high. If someone else's True Magic costs 1, and he repeats it, then when he needs to release it, it costs 2.

Li Yu silently put the talent aside, then looked at Principal Hu Principal Hu, who had completely memorized the True Magic and was releasing it as well.

After realizing he could fly easily, Principal Hu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "That's amazing! This True Magic is incredibly valuable!"

"This kid wants a Space Ring, do you think this can be exchanged for it?" Upon hearing Principal Hu's words, Shizuka Hiratsuka hurriedly told him what Li Yu wanted.

Hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Principal Hu looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with amusement, then turned his gaze to Li Yu and said, "I'll do my best to help you. This True Magic, combined with the Martial Arts you created before, shouldn't be a big problem."

After saying that, he added, "It has to be the largest kind of Space Ring. Smaller ones will be more than enough, but if you want this kind of thing, you have to have the best one, otherwise don't bother."

That's true, and Li Yu wholeheartedly agreed. He was also pleasantly surprised; he truly hadn't expected such a gain. Thinking this, Li Yu quickly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Principal!"

Principal Hu looked at Li Yu and continued, "No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. I have recorded the True Magic; leave the rest to me."

He took care of everything else, so Li Yu only needed to wait to receive the reward; Li Yu didn't need to worry about anything else.

After chatting with Principal Hu for a while, Li Yu left with Shizuka Hiratsuka. As they walked down to the teaching building, Hiratsuka Shizuka said to Li Yu, "You can go back now. We should have news in a few days. Teacher Hu is very reliable."

Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke with confidence, after all, she knew Principal Hu's character very well. Since he said so, it was basically settled, and Li Yu would get a top-tier Space Ring.

"I have a question. Teacher Hiratsuka, you call the principal 'teacher.' Was he your teacher before?" Li Yu asked, voicing his doubts.

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded, then explained, "He was my professor in university. Don't let his refined appearance fool you; he's incredibly capable!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu immediately became interested and asked, "What level is the principal's strength? Is it Seventh Tier or Eighth Tier?"

He was genuinely curious, after all, this was the strongest person he had ever encountered, so Li Yu was very curious about the extent of the other party's strength.

"You're being narrow-minded. The headmaster is already at the Ninth Tier!" Shizuka Hiratsuka's lips curled up slightly as she revealed the other party's strength.

Hearing this, Li Yu was somewhat surprised and puzzled. Ninth Tier? This didn't seem like it. Moreover, Li Yu didn't sense any threat from the other party.

Is it really Ninth Tier? And you, a Ninth Tier expert, are here as the principal? Something just doesn't seem right, so Li Yu's doubts only grew.

"Isn't it strange?" Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to have noticed Li Yu's confusion, so she suddenly asked this question.

Li Yu nodded. He was indeed very puzzled and couldn't understand what was going on. If the other party was so strong, why wasn't he guarding those dangerous Dimensional Rift? What was he doing here as the principal?

"Principal Hu has very serious injuries, which were inflicted while dealing with a Dimensional Rift. At that time, Principal Hu had only recently broken through to the next level, and... although he successfully conquered the Dimensional Rift, Principal Hu was left with permanent wounds." Shizuka Hiratsuka slowly explained Principal Hu's condition.

At that time, she was still the other person's student. When the other person came out of the Dimensional Rift, he was already seriously injured and on the verge of death. Although he was saved by luck, his newly broken-through Ninth Tier strength could not be recovered.

Hearing this, Li Yu asked with some surprise, "What caused this? Logically speaking, it should be difficult for someone at their level to do this, right?"

Just because he captured a Dimensional Rift, he ended up like this? His strength can't be restored? Something seems really strange.

"Principal Hu's talent allows him to copy other people's True Magic and recast it. With his talent, he's quite formidable, but because he likes to copy so much, he ended up copying Dragon Race True Magic during that Dimensional Rift." There was no point in hiding it, so Shizuka Hiratsuka simply said it outright.

He copied the Dragon Race's True Magic? Li Yu was stunned upon hearing this explanation, but he quickly understood and said, "Because of the different races, it was forced to use it, which caused this? Isn't this essential knowledge for True Magic? How could he make such a mistake?"

Li Yu was puzzled. Wasn't this knowledge that True Magic had to learn? How did it suddenly become like this? This was truly outrageous.

"Do you know where this knowledge comes from?" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Li Yu calmly, because it was something Principal Hu had personally tested out!

Behind every piece of knowledge lies a bloody lesson, and the value of this statement continues to grow. It was because Principal Hu attempted to use Dragon Race True Magic that he suffered a backlash!

When Li Yu heard Shizuka Hiratsuka say this, he understood. So that's the reason. Li Yu finally understood that the precaution of not learning True Magic from different races was something that Principal Hu had personally tested and found out.

This is practically a character from a textbook, isn't it? It's precisely because of Principal Hu's lesson that such a rule exists in the books of Li Yu and others.

"It seems you understand. Because of Teacher Hu's experience, there's an extra point to note regarding True Magic knowledge. I know you have a strong talent for learning, but if you encounter beings of different races using True Magic in the future, you'd better not learn it!" Hiratsuka Shizuka also gave Li Yu a piece of advice.

Li Yu nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, but what he was really thinking was anyone's guess, since Principal Hu's situation was probably nothing compared to Li Yu's.

After all, Li Yu's talent is that he can learn anything he sees and make it his own. No matter what kind of True Magic it is, as long as Li Yu can learn it, it means he can definitely use it.

This is absolutely beyond doubt, so what happened to Principal Hu could never happen to Li Yu in his lifetime. This is Li Yu's confidence.

Seeing that Li Yu had taken her words to heart, Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately said, "Alright, you can go back now. I should go rest too. You just need to wait for news."

After saying that, Hiratsuka Shizuka left directly. Li Yu watched her leave and then headed towards his classroom. He had certainly learned something new today; Principal Hu's condition was actually like this?

No wonder Principal Hu wields so much power; after all, he was once Ninth Tier. Although he has lost his strength now, the country still values him highly.

This might be why the other party came here to be the principal. According to Shizuka Hiratsuka, the previous Principal Hu, was her teacher.
