    At six forty in the morning.


    Inside the school.


    Pei Jinye was still on his way to Jingzhe Building. He had come back late this morning, having gone to the cultivation room at three in the morning to fill his body with spiritual energy and strengthen himself.


    It was free, as agreed by the school authorities, so he thought, why not use it?


    However, this time he did not borrow the spiritual energy and, fortunately, escaped the “attention” that the school’s higher-ups had placed on him.


    A session of body strengthening with spiritual energy.


    After practicing “Fogging” last night, his three attribute values, especially spiritual power, increased the most.


    By a full two thousand points!


    And that was just from the first two levels of “Fogging”.


    This made Pei Jinye start to wonder if he could reach some limit after practicing all the SSS level Techniques of the Federation… No, if he could then create a more powerful cultivation technique by fusing them together?


    At that thought,


    Pei Jinye was greatly moved.


    But he also understood that one must eat one bite at a time.


    In fact, he hadn’t practiced his “Twelve Golden Lotuses” and “Big Dream for Thousands of Autumns” to the breaking the limit level yet.


    It was the Four Seasons Talisman that he had been using as an auxiliary practice yesterday that had reached the breaking the limit level proficiency.


    Pei Jinye didn’t know how many people in the Federation had managed to practice this mental method to the breaking the limit level.


    But he indeed had done it.


    After reaching the breaking the limit level,


    he was very aware that his sensitivity to spiritual power and the elements in the world had increased significantly.


    Previously, he felt that there was no barrier between himself and the elements, but after cultivating the Four Seasons Talisman to the breaking the limit level, he realized there was still a barrier between him and the elements.


    “Was this mental method created by Star Ring?”


    “As frightening as that guy is, I have to admit, it has a rich and powerful creative force.”


    While Pei Jinye was reflecting, Ji Wutian waved at him from a distance and hurried over.


    He seemed to already know something, and there was a heavy look on his face.


    “Something happened last night. Lucky for us, we came back early, or we might have been in real trouble.”


    “What happened?” Pei Jinye acted completely unaware.


    Probably even the world’s top actors wouldn’t have found any flaws in his front.


    Let alone Ji Wutian.


    The last thing he would think was that the culprit behind last night’s shock that rippled through Dragon City was standing right in front of him, appearing harmless.


    Leaning closer, Ji Wutian said, “Not long after we returned last night, Lin Shentian and Lin Shenying, the brothers from the Lin Family, were ambushed; one is missing, the other severely injured and unconscious.”


    “Ah? What happened?” Pei Jinye looked on in amazement.


    With a sigh, Ji Wutian said, “I had heard of Brother Luo Zehu’s deeds before. I thought he was strong, but I didn’t expect him to be this powerful. I heard it was his doing.”


    “…” Pei Jinye glanced over.


    How credible is this ‘I heard’ of yours?


    Ji Wutian murmured, “I heard that in response to this, the entire Lin Family is about to explode. A seventh rank has been killed, and a promising one at that… It’s said that last night, all the top experts from the Lin Family flooded out and headed to Snow Dragon Mountain.”


    “What are they doing there?”


    This time, Pei Jinye truly didn’t know.


    He didn’t remember doing anything on Snow Dragon Mountain.


    “Apparently, Luo Zehu fled there.”


    “…”


    Pei Jinye was skeptical.


    Ji Wutian continued, still reflecting, “Is Brother Luo really so fierce? I remember he was only a bit stronger than Lin Shentian before. To kill him is a bit excessive, don’t you think? The more I think about it, the more incredible it seems. But why would he do it? Brother Luo wouldn’t usually kill him. Old Pei, could it have been an accident?”


    Pei Jinye was silent for a moment,


    then said quietly, “Is it really confirmed that Brother Luo did it?”


    “This…” Ji Wutian hesitated.


    He hadn’t heard the phone call that morning very clearly.


    But it seemed to mention Luo Zehu.


    Changing the subject, he said, “Of course, I hope it’s not him. Brother Luo is still very righteous. Honestly, the death of an Extraordinary Seventh Rank… it’s really unsettling. If it’s not Brother Luo, how strong must the other person be? If the four of us had left late last night, we might not have made it out.”


    Pei Jinye too appeared to have lost interest.


    As for whether he was just pretending, only he would know.


    …


    Arriving downstairs of Jingzhe Building.


    Many greeted Pei Jinye.


    Mostly because of Pei Jinye’s astonishing debut yesterday.


    Even if Pei Jinye fails to keep winning after this, he proved his strength with the first assessment.


    Everyone was willing to befriend him, rather than shun him.


    Compared to someone like Lin Shenying, who exuded arrogance, Pei Jinye seemed much more approachable and amiable.


    Pei Jinye reciprocated the greetings without any pretense.


    Then there were students in a corner quickly devouring hot buns they were holding as if panicked that Lin Xiuxian would soon appear and scold them again.


    “I heard you had a standoff with the two brothers from the Lin Family last night?” Ji Yuyan squeezed past Ji Wutian and said in a low voice to Pei Jinye.


    Pei Jinye looked over.


    Ji Wutian gave an inevitable smile.


    It seemed he had an idea of what was going on.


    Nodding, Pei Jinye said, “They wanted the Small Yuandan in my hand. I gave them a price, but they didn’t accept it.”


    Ji Wutian whispered, “Does Luo Zehu know about this? He stepped in last night. That brother is still as carefree as ever.”


    Ji Yuyan looked over, “So, you should know about last night’s incident too, right? Didn’t notice Lin Shenying didn’t show up?”


    Ji Wutian glanced over.


    He was caught up in hearing about Lin Shentian’s disappearance, possibly murdered.


    He didn’t really pay attention to whether Lin Shenying was dead or alive.


    “So, you think he…?”


    Ji Yuyan shook her head, “The Lin family has sealed off the information, I don’t know the specifics. You two made contact with those two brothers last night, you’ll definitely be included in the investigation.”


    “Let them investigate. I wish they all thought it was me who offed the Extraordinary Seventh Rank,” Ji Wutian sneered, “A Fifth Rank killing a Seventh Rank, just hearing it sounds exciting.”


    Ji Yuyan was at a loss for words.


    She looked at Pei Jinye, “What about you, will this affect today’s assessment?”


    Pei Jinye shook his head, “No issues.”


    Ji Yuyan nodded, “I wanted to chat with you two last night, but you went out for a late-night snack without calling me. I’m not speaking to you guys.”


    Ji Wutian glanced over, “Take you? How much do you even eat? You’re always squawking about losing weight, unless next time you bring some of your dorm sisters along.”


    “Ji Wutian, you’re asking for death!” Ji Yuyan exploded again.


    Ji Wutian dodged, “Why get mad? Isn’t introducing and getting to know people good? Ever heard of lovers destined to be together?”


    Ji Yuyan couldn’t be bothered with him and turned to Pei Jinye, “Relax, [Palace of Myriad Images] actually tests your mindset. I think you have a good attitude. Psychic Class has an advantage in this test, you might have a chance.”


    “You have a chance too,” Pei Jinye remarked.


    Ji Yuyan suddenly became shy, “Not really.”


    “…”


    A nauseating voice came from nearby.


    Ji Yuyan’s face stiffened, and she delivered a kick.


    The bickering continued for a while.


    Lin Xiuxian appeared, this time accompanied by not only the middle-aged man from earlier, but also a woman adorned with a string of jewelry, which looked extremely valuable.


    She exuded an aura of being pampered and privileged.


    But there was an invisible chilling sensation leaking out from her.


    Even Ji Yuyan, upon looking her way, couldn’t help but feel a shiver down her spine.


    Especially standing next to the gentle and polite middle-aged man, she seemed to instill fear in everyone as that dazzling lady.


    “Who is she?”


    “That’s Professor Xiao, the vice-principal’s wife, an absolute powerhouse in the spiritual domain, a possessor of the Federation First-Class Merit,” someone explained.


    “So that’s Professor Xiao. I once audited her class; she really teaches you a lot…”


    “Professor Xiao has profound insights into the defense and invasion of the Spiritual World.”


    “No wonder looking at Professor Xiao always gives me that heart-pounding feeling like my innermost thoughts are being blatantly scrutinized.”


    …


    “Silence, everyone!”


    Lin Xiuxian’s stern order hushed the 197 students immediately.


    Most of them went quiet as if chilled to the bone, waiting obediently for the elder’s pronouncement.


    Lin Xiuxian’s gaze swept indifferently across Pei Jinye and Ji Wutian. Assured that everything was normal with them, he also breathed a sigh of relief.


    Otherwise, even with a Seventh Rank dying in the Lin family, they would have faced his wrath!


    He turned to the middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man nodded, stepped forward, and announced loudly:


    “Out of 198 examinees, 197 are present, one is absent…”


    Many were unaware of Lin Shenying’s situation.


    So when they heard what the middle-aged man said, they were rather startled.


    The middle-aged man went on, “The assessment is about [Palace of Myriad Images], and according to the regulations of Dragon City martial arts university, I’ll now enumerate all examination requirements. Violators will be dealt with strictly in accordance with school rules.”


    “First, no Sealing Objects are allowed during this assessment. You can either turn them in now voluntarily, or refrain from using them. If discovered using them, it will be considered cheating. The examinee will score zero on this assessment, and the disciplinary record will follow their file, which cannot be erased.”


    “Second, this assessment…”


    The middle-aged man continued speaking on the stage.


    Soon after…


    An Array rose up in front of everyone.


    Metal game capsules appeared in front of each person.


    Gasps of astonishment erupted instantly.


    “Everyone, sequentially enter the capsules. These are the independently developed Virtual Biological Cabins by our school. After you enter, put on the helmet and wait for the green light to flash. It will signify the start of the assessment.”


    Ji Yuyan tugged at Pei Jinye, hinting at the Virtual Biological Cabin, “It’s the same as the V Era. Have you tried it before when I asked you to?”


    Pei Jinye looked at her and responded indirectly, “Don’t worry, just focus on your exam.”


    He then entered a Virtual Biological Cabin.


    Once everyone had entered…


    …


    The lady called Professor Xiao turned to Lin Xiuxian, “Those four students from last night are now under the scrutiny of Judgement Place.”


    Lin Xiuxian revealed a rare smile, “It’s a normal procedure, no need to worry. I’ll personally pay a visit to Judgement Place today.”


    Professor Xiao looked at him, her gaze calm, “Don’t mess up. Allowing you to take the position of this year’s research institute dean already put a lot of pressure upstairs.”


    “Madam…” Lin Xiuxian replied with a wry smile, “Do I look like a troublemaker?”

    Upon hearing this, Professor Xiao turned around, “By the way, who is Pei Jinye?”


    Lin Xiuxian gestured, “Cabin number 44.”


    “He clinched the first win yesterday, which was quite impressive. It seems the rumors aren’t false; before he disappeared, he indeed taught him a lot,” Professor Xiao said slowly.


    Lin Xiuxian’s expression remained steady, “No matter whose disciple he is, once he’s in the research institute, he’s my student. Whoever dares to break the rules, I’ll break their legs!”


    Professor Xiao looked over pensively.
