Outside the Tower of Civilization.
The morning light gradually broke through the darkness.
The tower gates were tightly shut, and none of the students had been teleported out yet; no one knew what was happening inside.
At that very moment, on the fifth floor of the Tower of Civilization, Lu Qingshan was forced to retreat under the attacks of his opponents...
"The opponent's Law Comprehension on the fifth level of the Tower of Civilization is already comparable to that on the first level of the Heavenly Bridge. Defeating him should be enough."
While Lu Qingshan needs to demonstrate sufficient genius, there's no need for him to be overly monstrous.
In this Universe Ocean, there are more powerful beings and more prosperous civilizations, but those who can enter the realm of laws at the Star Level and possess the ability to Law Comprehension through the Heavenly Bridge are extremely rare.
Although the performance at this moment exceeded the syllabus, it was still within the theoretical scope.
Lu Qingshan plans to gradually reveal his potential and, by using the identity of Dongfang Yuechu, fully integrate into this Universe Ocean dimension.
"Let's end this!"
Lu Qingshan unleashed over a hundred consecutive strikes, finally killing his opponent and successfully passing this test.
"Congratulations, you have passed the fifth level of the Tower of Civilization. Your score is 91. Would you like to continue to the next level...?" "Give up."
Lu Qingshan did not continue.
As a regular Star Level, passing through the first level of the Tower of Civilization would already grant him the status of a formal citizen of the Universe Starry Sky Alliance. He has already broken the highest record since the founding of the Yanhuang Academy by passing through the fifth level of the Tower of Civilization.
Deep underground at the Yanhuang Academy, in a secret chamber.
The dean of the Yanhuang Academy, who had been in seclusion for a long time, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the message he had received, and showed a surprised expression.
"A Star Level kid actually made it past the fifth level of the Tower of Civilization... Dongfang Yuechu, the little guy from the Dongfang Clan, his luck is really something!"
A hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
To be able to pass through the fifth level of the Tower of Civilization at the Star Level, one must possess unimaginable opportunities. He is a Domain Lord Level powerhouse, the strongest person on the entire Yanhuang Star. If he were to make a move, the opponent would have no chance to resist. However, at this moment, he has no covetous thoughts whatsoever.
If the other party didn't attempt to enter the Tower of Tower of Civilization Tower of Civilization, that's fine. But if they did, even if they only passed the first level, it's recorded by the Universe Starry Sky University, and they'll be sent to guide them soon.
Even the weakest branch of the Universe Starry Sky University has an Immortal God in charge, making it an entity he simply cannot afford to offend.
Not to mention, Dongfang Yuechu has directly passed the fifth level of the Tower of Civilization, and will probably be able to directly enter the main campus of Starry Sky University to receive the highest level of training. The spaceship that came to pick him up is probably already on its way.
However, nurturing geniuses also has many benefits for him, especially geniuses like Dongfang Yuechu. "The secret techniques can be studied later. Dongfang Yuechu must be protected. I need to ensure his safety before the experts from Starry Sky University arrive."
The dean slowly rose, walked out of the secret room, and headed towards the Tower of Civilization.
Outside the Tower of Civilization.
Once everyone had finished their assessments, the gates of the Tower of Civilization reopened, and several students who had participated in the tests emerged, each holding a crystal containing their scores.
The tutor at the entrance was using a device to tally the students' grades.
" Zhu Qiang, you failed the first level with a score of 59... Your score is just a little short. If you had scored over 60, you would have been eligible to stay at the university and become an assistant tutor. Even if you leave the academy, you could have worked for a major company in the real world."
The boy Zhu Qiang didn't look too good. He forced a smile and said, "Teacher, I didn't perform well this time. Fortunately, there are still a few months until graduation, so I have another chance. I'll definitely get over 60 points next time."
"Um."
The instructor nodded, then looked at the next student. " Pang Bo, failed the first level, score 21..."
The tutor wrote down the score without even glancing at the student. Such a low score puts the student at the very bottom of the class at the Yanhuang Academy; there are probably very few students with worse grades.
Suddenly, the instructor remembered something and glanced at Dongfang Yuechu behind the group. He vaguely remembered this student; only a month into the semester, he was already participating in the Tower of Civilization test. He wondered how his score was, whether he could get into double digits. Just as he was about to step forward to ask...
Suddenly, Li Ying, the Dean of Students, arrived. Beside him were two middle-aged men, Dongfang Ba and Huangfu Song.
Upon seeing the newcomers, a hint of surprise flashed in the instructor's eyes. As the patriarchs of their respective families, Dongfang Ba and Huangfu Song rarely appeared in public, so the instructor did not recognize them, only sensing their considerable power.
"Director Li, what brings you here?"
"You can take care of your own things; don't worry about me."
Li Ying shifted his gaze from his mentor to Dongfang Yuechu.
He stepped forward and said calmly, " Dongfang Yuechu, there are some things at home that you need to go back to handle. Go back with your father now."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Lu Qingshan asked.
"What do you mean! Dongfang Yuechu, don't you know what you've done?"
A cold glint flashed in Huangfu Song's eyes.
Dongfang Ba remained silent, his gaze sweeping over his son, who seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him. This wasn't surprising; he had seen this son no more than ten times in recent years, the last time being several years ago.
" Dongfang Yuechu, go back now. You know you can't resist."
Li Ying threatened.
Just as Lu Qingshan was about to speak, a gentle voice suddenly rang out from behind the crowd. "He doesn't need to go anywhere!"
Everyone turned around and saw the dean walking slowly towards them. He was wearing that gray robe and was walking unhurriedly. When he walked over, Li Ying, the head of the teaching department, couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Dean, weren't you in seclusion? How come you have time to come here?"
Li Ying asked cautiously.
"Greetings, Dean."
Huangfu Song and Dongfang Ba quickly bowed; back when they were still studying at the academy, the dean was already the dean.
Moreover, the dean of the Yanhuang Academy is the strongest person on Yanhuang Star. Although the three major families sound impressive and control everything on Yanhuang Star, there is still a huge gap between them and the dean.
"What do you three want to do!"
The dean snorted coldly. "Clan Chief Dongfang has some matters that require Dongfang Yuechu to return to the clan to handle, so he asked me to come and find him."
Li Ying quickly replied, seemingly realizing something was amiss, and thus distanced himself from the situation.
"Dean, Dongfang Yuechu is my son. There are indeed some things I'd like to ask him."
Dongfang Ba also chimed in.
The dean turned to Lu Qingshan and asked, " Dongfang Yuechu, you tell me... is there any trouble? Don't worry, I'm the dean of the Yanhuang Academy, I'll definitely stand up for you."
"Dean."
Lu Qingshan raised his hand in a salute before continuing, "Yesterday, students were attacked outside the school. The assassins were henchmen of the Huangfu Clan head. Today, they came to the school, and Dean of Students Li Ying forced me to leave."
"What!!"
The dean's expression changed slightly.
He never expected that the first student from their Yanhuang Academy to pass the fifth level of the Tower of Civilization would be assassinated last night.
"Nonsense! When has the Huangfu Clan ever attempted to assassinate you!"
Huangfu Song's gaze turned cold. "At the beginning of the month... there might be some misunderstanding."
Dongfang Ba also said.
"Shut up!"
The dean snorted coldly, and a powerful aura erupted, instantly stunning everyone.
" Dongfang Yuechu, I will investigate everything you've said. If it was indeed someone from the Huangfu Clan who assassinated you, I will definitely give you justice."
"Thank you for your trouble, Dean."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
"Dean... Dongfang Yuechu claims he was assassinated, but that's baseless accusation, and it happened off-campus... He's just an ordinary student, there's no need for that..."
Li Ying received a telepathic message from Huangfu Song and began to offer his advice.
" Li Ying!"
The dean gave him a cold look, and a powerful pressure descended, causing Li Ying to turn pale and break out in a cold sweat.
"As the dean of students, it is truly disappointing that you would say such a thing. Even if Dongfang Yuechu is just an ordinary student, he is still a student of our Yanhuang Academy, and we must protect his safety. Moreover, Dongfang Yuechu is no ordinary student... Do you know that just now, Dongfang Yuechu has already passed the fifth level of the Tower of Civilization..." After saying this...
Everyone present wore expressions of disbelief.
The fifth level of the Tower of Civilization?
Their Yanhuang Academy, established over ten thousand years ago, had previously achieved a best result of only reaching the third level.
Dongfang Yuechu, a student who had only been enrolled for a month, actually managed to pass the fifth level?
Li Ying, the dean of students, was pale and filled with remorse. He knew perfectly well what this meant.
Dongfang Yuechu has passed the fifth level of the Tower of Civilization, which is the pride of their Yanhuang Academy. He will surely become a top expert in the future. However, he offended such an existence because of his relationship with the Huangfu Clan.
He felt that his future was already bleak.
Huangfu Song and Dongfang Ba were completely dumbfounded.
They had cultivated at the Yanhuang Academy for a century, yet even after leaving, they only achieved a score of eighty-something and failed to pass the first level of the Tower of Civilization. But now... the Dongfang Yuechu, had already passed the fifth level...
The fifth floor...
Dongfang Ba felt a moment of dizziness. The Primal Universe had sent a top genius to their Dongfang Clan, yet he had turned this genius away!
They even wanted to join forces with the Huangfu Clan to capture this genius and bring him to justice.
" Li Ying... as the Dean of Studies, you have neglected your duties and failed to distinguish between public and private matters. I am now stripping you of your position and ordering you to leave Yanhuang Academy within one hour. You are hereby permanently banned from setting foot in the academy... As for you two..." The Dean then looked at the two family heads and said, "The guides from the Starry Sky Alliance will arrive soon. Before their arrival, you are not allowed to leave Yanhuang Star. Cooperate with the investigation and await further action."
As the strongest being on Yanhuang Star, the Dean's words are like imperial edicts, and no one dares to disobey them.
After informing him of this, he walked to Lu Qingshan's side and said, "Let's go. I'll help you investigate the assassination attempt. How you handle it is up to you. Before the Starry Sky Alliance guides arrive, I also need to give you some background information."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and left with the dean, never once glancing at Dongfang Ba.
After they left.
Li Ying, Dongfang Ba, and Huangfu Song looked at each other, their faces pale.
" Huangfu Song, I only helped you because I considered you a friend, but you've really ruined me this time!" Li Ying said, his face pale.
"I knew absolutely nothing about this. Did Dongfang Yuechu really pass the fifth level of the Tower of Civilization?"
Huangfu Song was still somewhat incredulous.
"They must have passed it, otherwise the Dean wouldn't have come in person. The Dean receives a notification as soon as you pass one level of the Tower of Civilization. With the Dean's strength, there's no need for him to lie." Li Ying shook his head.
Huangfu Song looked at Dongfang Ba and said, " Dongfang Yuechu is your son. See if you can ease the tension and help us get through this."
"My relationship with this son is just so-so, and with this kind of thing happening, I'm afraid things will be very difficult."
Dongfang Ba sighed.
His son is successful, and he should be happy about it, but now it has become a problem, a huge problem!
