"The Dean is coming out!"
"The Dean is coming out!"
Sure enough, the Dean of Qilin Academy, Nantian, walked out with several Vice Deans from the room where they had been rearranging the Illusory Array. The management teacher quickly approached to ask for the Dean's opinion.
The Dean surprisingly said to the management teacher, "Teacher Xiao Fu, this array is even more perfect than what you reported. We can already confirm that this is a growth-type Illusory Array. In a year or so, no student will be able to break it. It grows every day. It's truly unimaginable!"
Upon hearing the Dean's words, Guan Yue suddenly had a thought flash through his mind. However, he didn't dwell on it because Tai Shi Xiao Xiao had already spotted him. She waved for Guan Yue to come over and introduced him to the other Deans, saying, "This is Guan Yue. Although he hasn't fully grown yet, he has quite a lot of good things inside him. He is just suffering from indigestion, which is why he is so short."
The Deans burst into laughter. The Dean joined in and said, "Guan Yue eats so well; he needs to pay attention to digesting quickly, or he'll be at a disadvantage when looking for a dual cultivation partner."
Everyone laughed again, and Guan Yue honestly replied, "Dean, finding a dual cultivation partner requires five hundred drops of Essence; I'm still far from that. By then, I will definitely have grown taller; it won't be a problem."
This time even the senior students present laughed together. This kid, Guan Yue, really knows how to talk! He actually dared to joke with the Dean!
The Dean looked at Guan Yue seriously and asked, "Did you set up this array yourself?"
"Yes," Guan Yue answered.
"How long did it take you?" the Dean asked again.
"I spent three days thinking about it at first. Then I tried to directly arrange the array's spirit for three days but failed. After that, I used an array plus a process to set it up and spent another seven days on that. Finally, I arranged it in this room. Altogether it took nearly fifteen days," Guan Yue reported.
The management teacher confirmed from the side, "So that array was destroyed by him only fifteen days ago."
The expressions of several Vice Deans looked very strange; they could hardly believe that a nine-year-old child could set up an Illusory Array! Moreover, they had just heard Vice Dean Tai Shi Xiao Xiao mention that Guan Yue had passed the Gravity Trial at a hundred times gravity!
The Dean spoke, and his words stunned everyone present: "Guan Yue, I will give you one month to set up another Illusory Array. If you succeed, I will accept you as a disciple of the Inner Courtyard."
A disciple of the Inner Courtyard? In the entire Qilin Academy, there were countless geniuses among the tens of thousands of students, yet there were currently fewer than a hundred disciples in the Inner Courtyard. They were all exceptional individuals with extraordinary potential. Now, the Dean was actually considering allowing the less-than-ten-year-old Guan Yue to enter the Inner Courtyard; this seemed too hasty! Several vice-deans, including Tai Shi Xiao Xiao, wore expressions of disbelief at such a decision from the Dean.
"Alright, I will complete the new array," Guan Yue agreed. However, what he said next nearly made the eyes of the senior students pop out: "But I'm doing fine right now. I don't want to go to the Inner Courtyard. The Inner Courtyard focuses on Heavenly Training for this and that. It restricts freedom; I won't go to the Inner Courtyard." Guan Yue seemed to be acting out of spite.
This infuriated all the senior students present.
Not going to the Inner Courtyard?! This Guan Yue was truly a fool!
Even Tai Shi Xiao Xiao showed a look of astonishment: how many students dreamt of entering the Inner Courtyard, and Guan Yue really didn't want to?
The Dean's expression changed immediately; clearly, Guan Yue's response had angered him: "We'll discuss everything after you set up the Illusory Array. Don't leave here; Teacher Xiao Fu will supply the necessary materials. I'll come back in a month to see the results."
With that, the Dean signaled for several vice-deans to leave together.
Guan Yue had no choice but to stay and work on the Illusory Array with Teacher Xiao Fu's assistance. The requirement for this array was a basic formation consisting of one foundation and twenty nodes. The storyline depicted a Wealthy Landlord who occupied a Farm Family's land. The Farm Family resisted, leading to conflict. Under the Wealthy Landlord's oppression, the entire Farm Family perished, leaving only one girl who endured hardships and eventually received support from a powerful family to fight against the Wealthy Landlord. However, just as she was about to take revenge, that Wealthy Landlord offered his beautiful daughter as a concubine to the powerful family, causing them to change their minds. The Wealthy Landlord then captured her again and mocked her: "A poor person is always a poor person; you can never defeat us Wealthy Landlords. This world belongs to us Wealthy Landlords."
After hearing this storyline, Guan Yue was filled with righteous indignation and immediately immersed himself in setting up the new Illusory Array.
"Guan Yue is about to enter the academy's Inner Courtyard."
This news spread throughout the academy like wildfire. It was unprecedented in Qilin Academy's history for a first-year student to be accepted into the Inner Courtyard, especially one as young as nine years old!
It stirred up a great commotion!
Upon hearing this news, Ouyang Shaohua felt secretly disappointed; it turned out he would be leaving soon. He was an eagle and naturally unwilling to remain stagnant. He belonged in the Inner Courtyard! However, Ouyang Shaohua was curious about what position he held in Guan Yue's heart. She began to feel angry with herself because she sensed that she might have developed feelings for Guan Yue.
Yin Jingjing did not expect that such a small child as Guan Yue could have hopes of entering the Inner Courtyard, but she was happy; this meant Guan Yue's reliability in helping her would be even greater. She hoped for Guan Yue to become even stronger.
The most furious upon hearing this news was Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian.
I am the top of the new students; how could I allow a little brat to surpass me! No, I must suppress him by any means, even eliminate him. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian also had a friend in the Inner Courtyard, known as Wise Star, a genius full of clever ideas. Therefore, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian immediately went to discuss strategies with him. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian would not let Guan Yue easily enter the Inner Courtyard!
Xiahou Xiong was quite famous in the Inner Courtyard. With his reputation as a versatile genius, he had won honor for Qilin Academy multiple times in competitions against other academies and was regarded as a genius by both teachers and the dean.
The Xiahou family had a long-standing friendship with the Xuanyuan Family, so after Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian entered Qilin Academy, he received special attention from Xiahou Xiong. Of course, Xiahou Xiong also believed that Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was undoubtedly the top among the new students. Later, upon hearing that Guan Yue had actually broken through the gravity trial by a hundred times in his first year, he recognized Guan Yue's talent. This time, Guan Yue had even repaired the Illusory Array formation, causing a stir throughout the academy. Xiahou Xiong heard about it too. When Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian found him, he was practicing Mental Strength. After Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian explained his intentions, Xiahou Xiong thought for a moment and said, "I can help you by ensuring that Guan Yue only enters the Inner Courtyard after the semester assessment. If you cannot successfully stop him, then I cannot help you."
"That works; as long as Guan Yue participates in the semester assessment, I will find a way to defeat him and leave him with an unforgettable memory," Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian said angrily. Xiahou Xiong advised him, "Never underestimate others, especially someone like Guan Yue who is a genius; you must be cautious."
"I know; I won't let him have his satisfaction." As he spoke, Ouyang Shaohua's beautiful figure floated through Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's mind, making him feel even more restless.
Xiahou Xiong looked at Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's fierce demeanor and couldn't help but feel anxious for him.
At this moment, more students were paying attention to Guan Yue setting up a new formation.
This time, Guan Yue was more careful and invested than before; he poured all his pent-up anger towards Wealthy Landlord into the formation. He wanted to bring the formation to life and make everyone who entered it understand that being wealthy without compassion would lead to dire consequences!
It could be said that this was his heartfelt masterpiece; it took him ten days to complete it. This time, not only did Guan Yue use Nine Pulse Will, but he also infused it with his powerful Mental Strength. He believed that this Illusory Array was at least five times better than the previous one!
Teacher Xiao Fu, who managed the Illusory Array, was the first to enter for testing. A long time passed without him coming out. Guan Yue found it very strange; even after ten hours had passed, Teacher Xiao Fu still hadn’t emerged from the formation. Many classmates were waiting for him to activate the formation for testing, which made Guan Yue anxious—what on earth happened to Teacher Xiao Fu?
Guan Yue hurriedly ran into his newly set up formation and discovered that Teacher Xiao Fu was actually in tears within the formation!
Guan Yue panicked and quickly asked what was wrong. To his surprise, Teacher Xiao Fu was crying tears of joy. He had actually broken through within Guan Yue's formation!
He had completely lost hope over the years and thought there was no possibility of breakthrough left in him when he applied to manage the Illusory Array just to pass his remaining days.
Who would have thought that halfway through entering Guan Yue's newly set up formation, the deeply resonant emotions and dramatic descriptions within it would strongly stimulate Teacher Xiao Fu's spirit? Under such intense stimulation, it triggered a chain reaction that finally allowed him to break through to Attainment Realm! This formation truly had a soul!
So he cried bitterly in the formation.
The Dean and Vice Dean arrived again. After listening to Teacher Xiao Fu's report, they were somewhat skeptical. They were well aware of Teacher Xiao Fu's situation; without immense stimulation, it was impossible to break through. Similarly, while mental stimulation could lead to breakthroughs, improper stimulation could result in a Mental Attack, causing mental chaos. Therefore, the academy had always placed great importance on the Illusory Array. The Deans insisted on experiencing and verifying it themselves before allowing its use.
They glanced at Guan Yue but said nothing, and together they entered the room where the formation was set up. They began their experience.
At this moment, teachers and students who heard the news slowly gathered around, as Teacher Xiao Fu's breakthrough in the formation stirred other teachers' desires to try it out as well. However, without the Dean's approval after experiencing it themselves, others were not allowed to enter.
Thus, many teachers and students crowded outside the Illusory Array, waiting for the Dean's review results.
Ouyang Shaohua also arrived, as did Yin Jingjing. Lei Dazhuang, Sima Xiaosa, Marco, Ruo Yi, Wang Renwei, and Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian all came too. Even Xiahou Xiong showed up.
The Illusory Array was surrounded by layers of people, making it impossible for anyone to slip through. Everyone waited anxiously for the Dean's review results. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was particularly worried that the Dean would announce that Guan Yue could directly enter the Inner Courtyard! If that happened, all his plans would be ruined. He was more nervous than Guan Yue at that moment! He could hear his own rapid heartbeat: thump thump echoing in his ears.
Teacher Xiao Fu looked at Guan Yue and smiled; it was surprising that this kid had led him to a breakthrough. Thinking about it made him happy. He found Guan Yue increasingly pleasing to the eye and began to believe: what is concentrated is essence!
Meanwhile, Guan Yue felt bored and pondered his thoughts alone. He wondered if he had made the formation too intense for his classmates to handle. This formation was something Guan Yue had truly invested himself in while setting it up; its power was quite terrifying!
At that moment, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the room where the formation was arranged. The surrounding buildings began to shake violently as if an earthquake had struck, and a red light shot up into the sky.
Teacher Xiao Fu panicked and shouted, "Not good!"
