The three of them came out of the airport, the ground covered with snow, and at the end of January, the winter in the northwest was extremely cold.
“Shi Xiao, you go back first. Li Yuan and I are going to see the Dean,” Li Yang said with a smile, “You also performed very well on this life-and-death adventure. Now that you’re back at school, take a few days to relax.”
“Yes, teacher,” Shi Xiao nodded obediently.
Meet the Dean? In her recollection, not many students at the academy had the chance to see the Dean alone.
But she wasn’t surprised in her heart, as she had already sensed Li Yang’s special treatment of Li Yuan on the way back.
It was nothing like how a student was usually treated.
“Junior Brother, see you later.” Shi Xiao quickly left, leaving Li Yuan and Li Yang standing there.
“The Dean wants to see me?” Li Yuan couldn’t help asking.
“With such a big deal concerning you, I find it a bit strange that the President can hold back from seeing you,” Li Yang said with a smile, “The Dean has been waiting for you since early morning, follow me.”
“Yes.” Li Yuan pondered thoughtfully, realizing the impact he had caused was far greater than he had imagined.
…
They rode a small flying vehicle, traveling through the campus.
Li Yuan felt an inexplicable sense of tranquility and peace in his heart.
“Sophomore year, or at the latest junior year, I will have to leave school?” Li Yuan mused to himself, Li Yang’s words still echoing in his mind.
In truth, ever since his skill broke through to the Fifth Stage of Unity of Heaven and Man, Li Yuan had been preparing to graduate early.
Most elite students, even his fellow schoolmate Yan He, who was already a Prime Warrior, could still obtain cultivation resources beyond their capabilities from the school.
This was the reason why a few Prime Warrior students were still willing to stay at the academy.
What about himself? Indeed, there was not much point in staying at school for a long time.
“With the current rate of improvement of my physical quality, I estimate that by the end of my sophomore year, I could reach Level 25, or even the threshold of a high-level Prime Warrior,” Li Yuan thought.
It’s difficult for Prime Warriors to advance in rank, mainly because of the large span in physical quality at each level, but difficulty is relative. With higher skill realms and the awakening of the second Star Meridian… Li Yuan’s rate of physical quality improvement would only become more terrifying.
“College career?” Li Yuan’s gaze swept across the campus.
In fact, for most of his time at school, Li Yuan was in concealed cultivation, with little interaction with other students.
But the mindset and atmosphere of campus life were incomparable to life-and-death adventures in the Star Realm.
… Bracing against the wind and snow.
Soon after, Li Yang and Li Yuan arrived next to Dean Hai’s villa.
From a distance, Dean Hai was seen fishing in the midst of the wind and snow, surrounded by a group of attendants.
“What’s Dean Hai doing?” Li Yuan was taken aback.

“Don’t ask. If you ask, he’ll say he’s not fishing for fish in the lake, but for the fish in his heart,” Li Yang’s voice arose in Li Yuan’s mind, “Don’t give him the chance to educate you.”
Li Yuan was speechless.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The two approached quickly.
“Dean, we’re back. Why are you fishing in this freezing weather?” Li Yang approached and respectfully said.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, wasn’t it agreed not to ask?
“You’re back?” Dean Hai’s figure shifted slightly, his gaze serene, and he said lightly, “What do you know? Fish in the lake are easy to catch, fish in the heart are hard to catch. Once you have a breakthrough in your spirit and mind, naturally… Huh!”
Dean Hai suddenly turned his head to stare at Li Yang, his eyes showing a hint of shock, “Your spiritual power has broken through?”
“Yes,” Li Yang replied with a simple smile, “Dean, I bought a portion of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit from Li Yuan, and with some luck, I made the breakthrough.”
“It’s all thanks to the Dean’s previous suggestion,” Li Yang said with a smile.
“My suggestion?” Dean Hai was briefly startled, then quickly shifted to a natural smile, “Haha, I just mentioned it, it’s your own ability.”
“This is good news,” Dean Hai said with a smile, “A premature breakthrough in spiritual power is a great thing, this increases your chances of advancing to the Flying Heaven Level.”
“It’s all thanks to the continuous guidance of the Dean,” Li Yang said with a smile.
“You’ve been eyeing my position as the official Dean for quite some time now, haven’t you?” Dean Hai suddenly said with a smile.
Li Yang was caught off guard, shaking his head quickly, “No, Dean, I never had such thoughts. Not to mention I haven’t yet become a Flying Heaven Warrior, even if I do reach the Flying Heaven Level, I would still be under the Dean’s command.”
“Never mind, once you truly break through to the Flying Heaven Level, I’ll hand over my position to you,” Dean Hai said leisurely, “I’ve sat here for decades, and I’m a bit tired of it.”
Before Li Yang could speak again.
“Li Yuan,” Dean Hai looked towards Li Yuan.
“Dean,” Li Yuan said respectfully.
“All of you, go down,” Dean Hai suddenly said to the several attendants at his side.
“Yes,” the attendants put down their work and left.
“Take a seat,” Dean Hai gestured, and two stools on his left flew directly to his right.
Right next to Li Yuan and Li Yang.
This display made both Li Yuan and Li Yang inwardly marvel; this was the power of a Sixth Stage Skill Realm.
Able to truly harness the forces of heaven and earth.
Materialization!
Both of them sat down, quite respectfully.
“Li Yuan, your performance this time was very good. Not only did you transform yourself, but you also made great contributions to the country. The chief officer of the Mingxu Star Realm outpost, Liu Jing, has praised you,” Dean Hai said with a smile, “Now you’ve also helped your teacher make a breakthrough.”
“It’s what I should do,” Li Yuan said respectfully.
“Yes, the Martial God Inheritance quota. Li Yang must have told you about it,” Dean Hai said.
“He mentioned a bit,” Li Yuan nodded.
“Just now, President Fang has told me that you’ve been approved by Star Lord Bai Shan and have secured the only Second Class inheritance quota that Xia Country has this year,” Dean Hai said.
“Star Lord Bai Shan?” Li Yuan held his breath.
Star Lord, he had heard from Li Yang, represented the highest echelon of the Seven Star Alliance, but as for who exactly they were, he didn’t know much.
The difference in status was too great.
But Bai Shan?
That name was like a thunderclap; every Xia Country citizen would recognize it as the key figure who precipitated Xia Country’s rise to become the number one power in Blue Star… In the hearts of countless citizens, his status was perhaps even above Dongfang Ji.
