After the Eye of Destiny faded, Lu Yuan did not immediately leave the Royal Academy.

The seven-day mixed-team training had already begun. Today was Ning Rongrong's first time teaming up with completely unfamiliar Spirit Masters. Her sleeves and skirt hem were dusty when she returned, but she was clearly in a good
