Chapter 156: The Visitor from Fahwang Academy

  The Pope's College Visitor

  Zhou Yuan and Liu Taibai returned to the Manor Lord's residence, along with Long Dao Mountain and Ying Ling. After their return, Zhou Yuan surprisingly submitted his resignation to the three Manor Lords.

  Liu Taibai looked puzzled and said, "Zhou Yuan, your reputation is now spreading far and wide. All parties and factions probably already know your name. Now that you've left the True Martial Academy, it's extremely dangerous for you. They all know you're the future head of the True Martial Academy, the future of the academy. They definitely won't let you grow up peacefully and will stop at nothing to destroy you."

  Long Dao Mountain also nodded and said, "The master of the courtyard is right. Now your reputation is well-known to many people. In our Zhen Wu Academy, there are disciples from various forces, and information is circulating. Your news must have spread out long ago. Various forces will definitely target you and come up with all sorts of sinister plots to strangle you before you rise to prominence. If you leave now, you'll be standing at the forefront of the storm, your life will be in danger..."

  Ying Ling didn't like to talk much, but when he heard that Zhou Yuan was going to temporarily leave the True Martial Academy, his eyebrows also furrowed tightly, apparently, he was also very dissatisfied with Zhou Yuan's decision.

  "Master, both of you don't need to worry about me. My departure is only temporary and won't be for long. Mainly, I want to go to the Middle Continent and even other four continents to broaden my horizons and travel around. Currently, my cultivation has reached a peak, and it's not easy to break through to the Xianyou realm in a short period of time. Further cultivation doesn't have much benefit for me."

  Liu Taibai said, "On this point, Zhou Yuan is right. With his current progress, he has already reached the top. The Xianyao realm is not like before, and it requires mastering the mystery of spiritual and physical unity. This cannot be taught by others, only you can explore and comprehend it yourself. We should let him leave now. If we keep him under our eyes all the time, watching him grow, his progress will slow down, or even stagnate. This is not good for him at all. By doing so, we will only harm him."

  Ying Ling finally spoke up, "It's good that he's going out to gain experience and hone his skills. With his current abilities, only someone at the level of stirring heaven and earth can suppress him. I've seen his cultivation of the Nine Dragon Protection Technique, which has fully transformed into the Nine Thunder Dragons. At the level of stirring heaven and earth, it won't be easy to kill him. With this level of cultivation, roaming the world won't be too difficult either. If you can't beat him, you can still escape."

  Finally, all three deans agreed with Zhou Yuan's idea and let him leave Zhenwu Academy.

  Just then, a guard walked in.

  "The three deans, the dean of Fahwang College has arrived, and he brought twenty disciples with him. He said that they want to exchange techniques with our Zhenwu College and see what kind of level the young generation's abilities have reached."

  Liu Taibai's eyebrows gradually furrowed, "Yuan Ji actually came in person, it seems that he can no longer hold back. Exchanging magic techniques? A trick to deceive ghosts, I think he wants to see the true extent of our Zhenwu Academy, and see what level Zhou Yuan's current strength has reached. It seems that the news has also reached his ears."

  "Yuan Ji? Isn't he closer to the ruler of Da Qian, Gan Pan? He has always been on good terms with the imperial family and has no dealings with our Zhen Wu Academy. Why is he here at this time?"

  "I think it's definitely the Qian Pan who brought him here, their purpose is only one, to see what kind of person Zhou Yuan is, if I'm not mistaken, Zhou Yuan, you're in great danger now. They just want to test your abilities for now, but once they've seen enough, they'll probably come up with all sorts of plans to kill you and eliminate any future threats. They're all afraid that our Zhen Wu Academy will rise to power..." Long Dao Shan's face was filled with gloom.

  "Let them come, I, Zhou Yuan, will one day face all these opponents head-on. If I can't defeat such formidable foes, what qualifications do I have to take over as the Dean and lead the teachers and students to stand at the pinnacle of this Central Plains Continent?"

  "Alright, Zhou Yuan, you're right this time. This is a chance for you to go all out and defeat those disciples he brought with him. They must be the geniuses of the Law Enforcement Academy, the future pillars of the academy. You should unleash your power without holding back, crush their confidence, and plant an unbeatable shadow in their hearts, destroying the young generation of the Law Enforcement Academy..."

  "Not bad, what he brought is definitely the strongest power of the new generation of Fahwang College. Our Zhenwu College will never lose to them and we will make them suffer a crushing defeat."

  After finishing this sentence, Liu Taibai took the lead and walked out of the courtyard, heading towards the entrance of Zhenwu College. When he arrived at the gate of Zhenwu College, many disciples and instructors had already gathered here, waiting for Liu Taibai's arrival. As soon as he arrived, they all automatically parted to make way for Liu Taibai and the other two deans, as well as Zhou Yuan, allowing them to pass through together.

  Following the three, Zhou Yuan saw the crowd outside the door. Among them was a middle-aged man with silver-white hair that reached his waist, shining brightly. His face was full and round, with piercing eyes that seemed to gleam with an inner light. He stood with his hands behind his back, his body straight as a sharp sword thrust into the ground, and no one dared to meet his gaze head-on.

  It was clear that this middle-aged man was Yuan Ji, the principal of Fawang College.

  Behind him, the twenty disciples of the Law Master were all high-ranking cultivators. The weakest among them had reached the level of having killed in a past life, while the strongest had already attained the cultivation of the Carefree Realm, which was not inferior to that of Li Jing previously.

  "Yuanji brother, what wind blew you here? You brought so many talented disciples over, it's really... *sigh* Do you want to scare my disciples to death? Tsk tsk... Even those from the Carefree Realm are here. It seems that in these two years, the Fa Wang Academy has produced another batch of genius disciples!"

  Yuan Ji smiled and said, "Brother Tai Bai is indeed joking. I am aware of my own strength, and the power of Fa Wang Academy cannot compare to that of Zhen Wu Academy. Your academy also has masters in the Xian Yao realm, such as Chen Qi Shan and Wang Dao Cun. They are high-level experts in this realm, and few people from our Fa Wang Academy can match them. I brought my disciples here for no other reason than to exchange knowledge of magic with your students, Brother Tai Bai. It is beneficial for young people to learn from each other's experiences."

  Yuan Ji's face changed, "And I also heard that your Zhen Wu Academy has recently produced a rare talent that appears only once in a thousand years. At the age of 18, he is already a Ling Kong Xū Dù (Lingering Empty Traverse) realm cultivator. Moreover, from Jù Yuán (Gathering Origin) realm to Ling Kong Xū Dù realm, it only took him three or four months to cultivate. This is truly unbelievable... Such talent is against the heavens..."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Ji's gaze had already fallen on Zhou Yuan, his eyes gleaming with an intimidating light that was a manifestation of his magic, the Intimidating Heart Technique, which could shock and terrify his opponent.

  He had already recognized Zhou Yuan, and he wanted to make Zhou Yuan suffer a loss in their first meeting, making him feel fear and losing face. This would have a great negative impact on Zhou Yuan's future cultivation, effectively suppressing his growth speed.

  Liu Taibai was also bad at heart, but wanting to come out and rescue him was already too late. They were worried that Zhou Yuan would be affected by his intimidating technique and lose his composure, losing all face.

  But in the next moment, the three masters were shocked, and Lian Yuxi was also shocked.

  Zhou Yuan's right eye gradually turned deep blue, facing Yuan Ji's intimidating technique, Zhou Yuan didn't flinch, except for his right eye changing to deep blue, everything else was normal, as if nothing had happened.

  "Yuan Ji, why make things difficult for a junior? Come, Zhou Yuan, haven't you met Yuan Ji's master before? He is a senior, and this time he has come with such fanfare, probably just to see you." Liu Taibai said indifferently.

  Zhou Yuan's eyelids drooped, and he slowly walked to the front of Yuan Ji, cupping his hands in respect. "Junior Zhou Yuan has seen Master Yuan Ji!"

  Yuan Ji coldly snorted, "Tai Bai brother, you're wrong, my purpose for coming here is to exchange techniques with the younger generation of disciples, not specifically to see someone. Zhou Yuan, I've only heard about him, and just happened to take a look."

  Liu Taibai smiled faintly and said, "Since that's the case, then please come inside. I'll arrange your accommodations soon. Brother Yuanji's idea of exchanging spells is also something I agree with. Let's go to my residence together and discuss it."

  "Please!!!"

  "Please!!!"

  Liu Taibai led the way towards the direction of the Yuanzhu's residence, with Zhou Yuan closely following behind. Unbeknownst to him, Zhou Yuan could sense that Yuan Ji's attention seemed to be constantly focused on him.
