The Royal Family's Apprehension

At this moment, everyone was utterly shocked after hearing Fa Wutian announce his cultivation level.

"Holy crap, no way? This kid is only twelve, and he's already a Dou Master? That's way too freakish!"

"Yeah! A Dou Master at twelve—and a Two-Star Dou Master at that! That's practically defying heaven!"

Hearing everyone's praise, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fa Wutian's lips.

Being praised felt pretty good. No wonder Xiao Yan had become so addicted to it!

Just then, Wang Hao's voice sounded beside his ear.

"Student Wutian, you've passed the assessment and have officially been admitted to our Canaan Academy! However, have you given any thought to which mentor you'd like?"

Upon hearing this, how could Fa Wutian fail to understand what he meant?

He simply wanted to recruit him into his class!

After pondering for a moment, Fa Wutian said, "I don't have any particular requirements for a mentor. Besides, I think you're quite good, Brother Wang. How about I join your class?"

Wang Hao was overjoyed upon hearing that.

Originally, he had planned to spend some time persuading Fa Wutian to join his class.

Who would have thought that Fa Wutian would take the initiative himself? It saved him a great deal of trouble!

"Hehe, that works too! I didn't expect to pick up such a peerless genius during this trip!"

After saying that, Wang Hao led Fa Wutian inside.

He said he would introduce him to his classmates.

What Fa Wutian did not know was that while he was learning about his future academy life, his latest information had already been delivered to both the Yunlan Sect and the Gama Royal Family!

Yunlan Sect.

Looking at the news brought back by the sect disciple, Yun Yun's willow brows furrowed slightly.

"I never expected Fa Wutian to break through to the Two-Star Dou Master level at merely twelve years old! He truly is a peerless genius rarely seen in the Gama Empire for a thousand years! Unfortunately, he seems uninterested in our Yunlan Sect. At his Dou Practitioner celebration banquet last time, he clearly stated that he did not wish to join any faction."

Hearing Yun Yun's sigh, Yun Leng below her also wore a bitter expression.

Although he was deeply passionate about power, he also hoped that the Yunlan Sect would grow stronger and stronger!

Therefore, he was still quite eager to obtain a peerless genius like Fa Wutian.

However, just as Yun Yun had said, Fa Wutian seemed to have no interest in them. Moreover, Fa Wutian's grandfather was a Fifth-Rank Alchemist and the president of the Alchemist Association!

That was why he did not dare to forcibly bring Fa Wutian back to the Yunlan Sect!

Fortunately, the Gama Royal Family had not obtained him either!

Otherwise, given Jia Xing Tian's attitude toward the Yunlan Sect, their sect would likely face utter destruction in a few years!

Gama Imperial Palace.

Inside a magnificent hall, Jia Xing Tian was listening to the intelligence brought back by his subordinates.

To his right stood a valiant young girl of fifteen or sixteen.

She was none other than the Gama Empire's eldest princess—Yao Ye!

"Imperial Grandfather, what should we do now? Fa Wutian is only twelve, yet he has already broken through to the Two-Star Dou Master level! Even the Battle Ancestor realm might not be able to contain him in the future! What's more, he's a Second-Rank Alchemist! With his talent, reaching the level of Pill King Gu He is practically guaranteed! If such a genius is allowed to develop freely, the royal family's position may be threatened!"

Hearing Yao Ye's words, Jia Xing Tian frowned deeply.

How could he not understand the stakes involved?

It was just that Fa Wutian's identity was different from everyone else's!

If he were a commoner, then whether he was willing or not, he would have to be used by him!

But things did not go as he wished!

Fa Wutian was the biological grandson of Fama, the president of the Alchemist Association!

Fama might look harmless and easygoing, but everyone who knew him understood that once someone touched his weak spot, they would definitely suffer his frenzied retaliation!

And Fa Wutian happened to be that weak spot!

If he truly made a move against Fa Wutian, Fama would definitely retaliate against him!

Perhaps he might even lead the previously neutral Alchemist Association to side with the Yunlan Sect!

That was what he least wanted to see!

After all, the Yunlan Sect's Pill King Gu He was already troublesome enough.

If the Yunlan Sect also gained the Alchemist Association, then he would no longer have the strength to keep the Yunlan Sect in check!

Therefore, Fa Wutian absolutely could not be touched!

However, Yao Ye's words were not without reason. If he truly allowed him to develop freely, who knew whether Fa Wutian might replace the royal family in the future?

After all, who would tolerate a weaker person riding over their head and giving orders?

At this thought, Jia Xing Tian closed his eyes in frustration and began thinking hard for a way to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, an excellent idea flashed through his mind!

If this plan succeeded, the threat posed by Fa Wutian would collapse on its own. With some further maneuvering, even the Yunlan Sect could be dealt with in one stroke!

Thinking of this, Jia Xing Tian asked Yao Ye beside him, "Ye'er, what do you think of Fa Wutian?"

"Imperial Grandfather, why are you asking that?"

"I merely want to know what you think!"

"Well... Fa Wutian is actually quite good! Not only is he exceptionally talented, but his family background is also among the very best! I heard he's rather handsome too. It's just that I didn't attend the banquet last time. Otherwise..."

When Fama had invited everyone to Fa Wutian's Dou Practitioner celebration banquet, she had happened to be away leading troops for training, so she missed the opportunity.

"You missed it last time, but isn't this trip the same? Come! Accompany your grandfather to the Alchemist Association!"

With that, Jia Xing Tian brought Yao Ye toward the Alchemist Association.

Alchemist Association.

At this moment, Fama had just finished refining medicine and was resting.

Suddenly, he sensed Jia Xing Tian's arrival and said leisurely, "Since you're already here, come out! Since when did you learn to spy on others?"

"Hahaha!!! Old Fama, isn't that why you're a Fifth-Rank Alchemist? You actually managed to detect even me, a Peak Dou Emperor. It seems your soul power has grown again!"

As soon as his voice fell, Jia Xing Tian and Yao Ye appeared inside the room.

Seeing Yao Ye beside Jia Xing Tian, Fama frowned.

What was that old Jia up to? Normally, he came to see him alone. Why had he brought his granddaughter today?

Could this old fellow be plotting something?

Seeing Fama staring at Yao Ye, Jia Xing Tian could not help coughing.

"Cough, cough!!! Say, Old Fama! Could you stop staring at my granddaughter? It's not as if you've never seen her before!"

After saying that, he feigned confusion. "Right, why don't I see your grandson? Shouldn't he be learning alchemy from you at this hour?"

"Why are you asking about that? At this time, he should be registering at Canaan Academy's admissions office."
