Qian Renxue Shocked, Blue Silver Academy Was Unfathomable!

There was intense confusion in Qian Renxue's tone.

"Not a single letter was sent back, nor was there even the slightest bit of news."

"The people I sent to make covert contact could not even get through the academy gates."

"What exactly happened inside that academy?"

Qian Renxue rose to her feet and paced back and forth through the study.

Her curiosity toward Blue Silver Academy, which had managed to make Bibi Dong suffer a setback, had reached its peak.

"We cannot wait any longer."

"Since we cannot investigate it in secret, we will go and see it openly."

Qian Renxue turned and issued an order to the guards outside the door.

"Notify Yu Tianheng and the others at Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Have them assemble Royal Team One immediately."

"At dawn tomorrow, I will personally lead them to Blue Silver Academy in the name of the Heaven Dou Crown Prince for a friendly visit."

The guard accepted the order and departed.

When the news reached Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it immediately caused quite a stir within the team.

Inside the spacious training room, Yu Tianheng stood with his arms folded, his face full of utter disdain.

"Blue Silver Academy? What backwater place is that? I have never even heard of it."

A team member beside him repeatedly shook his head as well.

"Exactly, Captain."

"We are Royal Team One, the most outstanding geniuses on the entire continent."

"His Highness is actually having us visit some shabby little academy we have never even heard of. Isn't that lowering our status?"

Yu Tianheng snorted, a flash of pride passing through his eyes.

"We will do as His Highness has arranged."

"But it is just a small academy. I do not understand why His Highness is making such a fuss over it."

"Once we get there, all of you stay sharp. Do not disgrace our Royal Academy!"

Early the next morning, an exceptionally luxurious convoy departed from Heaven Dou City and made its way grandly toward Blue Silver Academy.

The carriages slowly came to a stop before Blue Silver Academy's seemingly ordinary mountain gate.

Yu Tianheng and the others reluctantly stepped down from the carriages.

Yet when their feet touched the ground, they clearly took in the scene before them, and drew a deep breath.

The disdain and contempt on every face instantly froze.

In their place came overwhelming shock and greed.

"Th-this place's concentration..."

Yu Tianheng's eyes widened. Feeling the Soul Power within him leap and cheer like boiling water, he could not even speak without stammering.

He looked around at the crystalline Mutated Blue Silver Grass and the ancient trees piercing the clouds in the distance, his heartbeat accelerating wildly.

The Royal Team members, who had originally held no interest whatsoever in this visit, were all excited now.

"No wonder His Highness personally brought us here."

"A cultivation sanctuary of this level is something even all the simulated cultivation environments at our Royal Academy combined cannot compare to. They are not even one-tenth as good as this place!"

Yu Tianheng took a deep breath and suppressed the turmoil in his heart, while arrogance resurfaced in his eyes.

"It truly is a good place."

"I just wonder whether the people in this academy are worthy of such fine resources."

Yu Tianheng clenched his fists, and his knuckles let out a crisp series of pops.

"I am suddenly looking forward to the upcoming spar."

"I hope the students of this Blue Silver Academy can show some real skill and let me have a proper good time!"

Meanwhile.

Deep within Blue Silver Academy, at the Lake of Life.

The lake water was clear to the bottom, radiating an exceptionally dense aura of life.

Xu Qing sat on a bluestone, holding a Purple Bamboo Fishing Rod as he fished in silence.

Layer after layer of ripples spread across the water's surface.

His entire bearing exuded the calm, steady presence of a grandmaster, as though he had completely merged with the world around him.

A set of light footsteps approached from behind.

Ye Lingling hurried over to Xu Qing's back and respectfully reported in a low voice.

"Dean."

"Heaven Dou's Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, has arrived outside the academy gates with members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team."

Xu Qing did not even open his eyes. He merely gave the fishing rod a gentle shake.

"The Crown Prince?"

"It should be that Qian Renxue from Spirit Hall."

Xu Qing knew the other party's true identity perfectly well, but he did not care in the slightest.

Whether she was the real crown prince or a fake one, once she entered his territory, she would have to follow his rules.

"Let them in."

"Arrange tea for them in the Guest Reception Hall."

Ye Lingling nodded and continued.

"Dean, that crown prince specifically asked the teacher handling the reception about Princess Xue Ke's recent circumstances."

"It seems he is very concerned that there has been no news from the princess for an entire month."

A smile rose at the corner of Xu Qing's lips upon hearing this.

"That girl Xue Ke has worked rather hard over the past month."

"Not only did she put aside her airs as a princess and train desperately alongside Bing'er and the others, but her luck was also exceptionally good."

"A few days ago, she received an opportunity to be infused with Life Force that had overflowed from the Lake of Life. Even her useless martial soul underwent an extremely rare transformation as a result."

Xu Qing slightly turned his head and looked toward the Guest Reception Hall.

"Since this crown prince brought the Royal Team here, he will likely find an excuse to arrange a spar and use it to probe our academy's true capabilities."

"Since he cares so much about Xue Ke."

"Ling Ling, make the arrangements. Put Xue Ke on the roster as well."

Understanding flashed through Ye Lingling's eyes, and she nodded heavily.

"I understand, Dean. I will see to it immediately."

In the academy's front courtyard, on the plaza outside the Guest Reception Hall.

The Heaven Dou Royal Team members stood there, openly surveying their surroundings.

Although the environment made them intensely envious, the aristocratic arrogance ingrained in their bones still filled them with contempt for the Blue Silver Academy students who were about to appear.

"Have you heard?"

One Royal Team member sneered, speaking neither too loudly nor too softly, just enough for everyone nearby to hear.

"The dean of this academy actually has the lowest-grade martial soul, Blue Silver Grass."

Another member immediately caught on and picked up the thread.

"Blue Silver Grass? Isn't that just a weed growing everywhere by the roadside?"

"What real ability could students taught by a dean whose martial soul is nothing but weeds possibly have?"

"If you ask me, this academy only has a good environment. If they truly start fighting, they probably will not even be able to withstand a single move from us."

Yu Tianheng stood at the front. Though he did not join the discussion, an extremely smug, cold smile hung at the corners of his mouth.

Just then.

Qian Renxue approached under the escort of several guards.

Looking at the empty plaza ahead, she frowned slightly before turning to the teacher guiding them.

"May I ask, Teacher."

"My younger sister Xue Ke has been in this academy for a month now."

"I wonder how she is doing now?"

Qian Renxue's eyes were full of curiosity. She desperately wanted to know what Xue Ke had experienced.

Just as her words fell.

Ye Lingling slowly emerged from behind the hall with Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and the others.

Hearing Qian Renxue's question, Ye Lingling stopped and replied calmly.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry."

"Next, according to the academy's arrangements, your Imperial Fighting Team will have a friendly sparring exchange with our Blue Silver Team."

"During this spar, Your Highness will naturally see Princess Xue Ke with your own eyes."
