Jun Yi went to the office to ask Li Wang for leave, since Li Wang was now his future homeroom teacher, and he had to follow the basic rules.
Li Wang's seat was on the side of the office near the door. As soon as Jun Yi entered, he saw Li Wang chatting with other teachers.
At that moment, he noticed Jun Yi and turned his gaze to Jun Yi. " Jun Yi, what brings you here? Is there a problem with your cultivation?"
When Teacher Li Wang called out Jun Yi's name, all the other teachers in the office focused their attention on Jun Yi, scrutinizing him closely.
Many teachers also teach other grades, so a large number of them did not attend the new student orientation ceremony.
However, they also learned from other teachers that a prodigy with extremely high talent had come to the academy this year. Not only was he extremely arrogant and ruthless, but he also did not take other students seriously at all. He even forced other students to fight each other in the final competition, and any student who disobeyed him was severely injured by him.
Therefore, Jun Yi's reputation was not very good among his teachers. In their eyes, although Jun Yi was very talented, he was arrogant and a troublemaker, making him an extremely difficult student to teach.
Jun Yi didn't care about the way the teachers around him were looking at him, nor what they were thinking. He stepped forward and said to Li Wang, " Teacher Li, I would like to request a long leave."
"Okay, approved."
Teacher Li took out a form and handed it to Jun Yi, saying, "Just fill out this leave form; everything else will be taken care of."
Jun Yi somewhat surprised that Teacher Li approved the leave so readily; he had originally thought it would take some persuasion, but he hadn't expected it to be so simple.
Jun Yi took the form and began filling it out. Just then, Teacher Li picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Generally speaking, requesting a long leave requires approval at each level and takes at least three days. However, His Holiness the Pope instructed that your request should be met as much as possible without violating the academy's regulations, which is why it's so simple."
"I see. Then I thank Your His Holiness the Pope in advance."
After saying that, Jun Yi returned the watch to Li Wang. Li Wang glanced at the leave slip written by Jun Yi, and then handed a token to Jun Yi.
"This is a token that allows you to freely enter and exit the academy. Since you've taken a long leave, the exact date of your return to school is uncertain. With this token, you can return to school at any time."
"Thank you, Teacher Li. I won't disturb your rest any longer; I'll be going now."
Jun Yi accepted the token, gave Li Wang a slight bow, and then left the office. When the other teachers saw Jun Yi leave, they all gathered around Li Wang and chatted about Jun Yi.
One of the teachers spoke up, " Teacher Li, Jun Yi seems quite polite, not at all like the arrogant people others describe him to be."
"I witnessed his arrogant demeanor on the field that day, but today I feel he's a completely different person, not only in his words but even in his overall demeanor," said a teacher who had attended the entrance ceremony.
"That child is far more complex than he appears. I can sense that he's very calculating, and his usual behavior is probably just a facade," Jun Yi Li Wang said calmly, closing the lid on his cup.
"However, being thoughtful isn't necessarily a bad thing."
A red light flashed in Li Wang's crimson eyes as he stared at Jun Yi's departing figure, as if trying to see right through him...
Because of the token, Jun Yi was not hindered in any way when leaving the academy. He traveled through Spirit City, hired a carriage to Heaven Dou City, and then began his journey.
On the carriage, Jun Yi began to calculate the approximate time he would need to take this leave. "First, I'll go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to pay my respects to Qian Renxue, then go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to find Dugu Yan, using her as a catalyst to reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After obtaining and absorbing the Immortal Herb, I'll finally make a trip to Gengxin City."
"Based on the time calculation, it will take at least three months, with at least half a month spent just traveling. Unfortunately, the means of transportation in this era are still limited to horse-drawn carriages. To see the Soul Guidance Train, we'll have to wait at least ten thousand years."
Jun Yi made a calm assessment in his mind, and then he began to meditate and enter a meditative state to cultivate.
In the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were discussing a top-secret matter. The spacious main hall contained only the two of them.
" Fengzhi, Old Bones has sent word again that during this time, Tang Hao has been guarding his son and that transformed Soul Beast, and hasn't had a chance to make a move."
Sword Douluo's expression was not good. He originally thought that Tang Hao would leave after sending his son to school, but he did not expect that Tang Hao would stay by his son's side the whole time, which gave them no chance to make a move.
In fact, Sword Douluo was not wrong, because in the original novel, Tang Hao left Shrek Academy after sending Tang San to school.
However, due to Jun Yi's appearance, Ning Rongrong left Shrek Academy, which changed the plot and had a butterfly effect, causing Tang Hao to stay by Tang San's side all the time.
" Uncle Jian, there's no need to worry. Tang Hao went through all sorts of hardships to find a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast Transformation, so naturally he'll protect it well. I estimate that once his son is able to absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, that Soul Beast will no longer be under his protection."
Ning Fengzhi remained calm, showing no anxiety about not finding an opportunity to harm Xiao Wu.
"Hmph, isn't that exactly what he did back then? He tricked a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor into giving birth to his child, and then sacrificed herself to Tang Hao. Tsk tsk tsk, Tang Hao wants his child to follow in his footsteps."
Sword Douluo snorted coldly, then gave a slightly sarcastic comment on Tang Hao's previous actions.
"Since Tang Hao wants to protect that Soul Beast temporarily, then we'll lend him a hand and help him conceal the identity of that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"He's waiting for his son to be able to absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and we're also waiting for Rongrong's Soul Power Level to increase. I once learned from an ancient book that if Soul Beast voluntarily sacrifices itself, then Soul Master's Seventh Soul Ring can be 100,000 years."
"Once Rongrong's Soul Power Level reaches Soul Emperor, we'll capture that Soul Beast and have it sacrifice itself for Rongrong. Then, Rongrong's Seventh Soul Ring will reach an unprecedented 100,000 years. At that time, the flaws of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda might also be changed."
Ning Fengzhi had already planned everything. Since he couldn't bring himself to do it right now, he would let Tang Hao support him for the time being, and then break off all ties with him when the time was right.
With this thought in mind, Ning Fengzhi's face once again revealed a calm and composed smile, as if everything was under his control...
