Illusory Array During the Dean's personal trial, a sudden series of loud noises erupted, overwhelming in force, causing the heavens and earth to change color. Several beams of red light shot up from the room, piercing the sky. The commotion was immense.
Teacher Xiao Fu immediately panicked and shouted, "This is bad! The formation is unstable; everyone quickly disperse! Run!"
Guan Yue was also secretly alarmed. He had only seen such a disturbance when his master broke through a realm. Could someone in the formation be breaking through? It must be a Great Power, otherwise, such a tremendous noise wouldn't occur. Therefore, he remained calm, continuing to ponder how to improve the formation to better meet the needs of his students.
Ouyang Shaohua did not run either. She knew that at least one Boundary Guardian had broken through because her family had many Great Powers, and she had witnessed their breakthroughs before. She noticed Guan Yue still sitting there calmly deep in thought. The term "man" reappeared in her mind. The man was Guan Yue! Guan Yue was the man in her heart! However, for now, he was still just a young man.
Yin Jingjing was extremely worried. If Guan Yue's formation failed, she would doubt the effectiveness of the pills he made. So she hoped for Guan Yue's success. She was about to return home and truly did not want anything to go wrong with what Guan Yue had done! As long as Guan Yue was always right, she would have enough confidence in everything he did.
Meanwhile, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian felt secretly excited and darkly thought, "Finally, it has failed, and in front of all the Deans! Guan Yue, you won't be able to enter the Inner Courtyard. Just stay honestly in the outer courtyard."
However, the situation's development left Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian very disappointed. After the loud noise, everything calmed down, but even after that calmness, the Deans still had not come out.
An hour later, the Deans finally emerged.
The Dean walked out first, his face full of joy. As soon as he stepped out of the room, he began to shout, "Guan Yue, I must thank you! You actually helped Old Man break through a major realm! It's truly unbelievable!"
One of the vice deans approached Teacher Xiao Fu and said, "What luck! Both Dean Jin and Grand Historian Vice Dean broke through a major realm inside. This has never happened before."
Although the vice dean's voice was low, it struck Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's heart like a heavy hammer, causing him unbearable pain. That kid Guan Yue had a Lucky Break, clumsily set up a formation, and managed to help both Deans break through a major realm. Now he would definitely enter the Inner Courtyard.
In an instant, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian felt as if his heart were being torn apart. His heart was bleeding!
Ouyang Shaohua looked at Guan Yue's small figure with great excitement, feeling a sense of satisfaction that had long been due. However, when she saw Yin Jingjing here as well, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Guan Yue with such intoxication and pride, Ouyang Shaohua felt a twinge of hidden pain in her heart. She realized that she was jealous of Yin Jingjing!
In truth, Yin Jingjing was simply affirming Guan Yue's abilities in her heart. She trusted Guan Yue even more. Her satisfaction with Guan Yue stemmed from his ability to help her through difficult times. Therefore, her expression was completely unreserved and candid.
Dean was pleased and kept his promise by announcing, "After this assessment, Guan Yue has indeed established the formation spirit and is also able to create a growth-type Illusory Array, with particularly remarkable effects. I hereby declare that the No. 9 formation arranged by Guan Yue will henceforth be renamed the No. 1 Illusory Array of Qilin Academy, reserved exclusively for teachers due to its immense power. Students are strictly prohibited from entering. At the same time, I announce that the academy officially accepts Guan Yue as a disciple of the Inner Courtyard. You are welcome to report to the Inner Courtyard at any time."
Vice Dean Tai Shi Xiao Xiao did not expect that agreeing to let Guan Yue enter Qilin Academy would suddenly elevate her own status significantly! She was pleasantly surprised. She smiled at Guan Yue, signaling him to express his stance quickly.
Guan Yue could only say, "Dean, I would like to participate in the academy's half-year assessment before going to the Inner Courtyard. Many classmates are not convinced by me, and I still have some competition commitments to fulfill. Please grant me this request." Hearing Guan Yue's refusal again, the senior students were astonished.
This was something everyone had been looking forward to; why was Guan Yue still hesitating? Was this kid out of his mind? Personal grudges? As long as you entered the Inner Courtyard, no student from the outer courtyard would dare challenge you. To students from the Inner Courtyard, those from the outer courtyard were nothing!
However, the dean was particularly happy today. He understood that Guan Yue feared losing his freedom upon entering the Inner Courtyard, so he promised, "Guan Yue, I respect your opinion. But I assure you that once you enter the Inner Courtyard, we will only provide you with better conditions without interfering in your cultivation. As long as you increase your cultivation level by one major realm each year." The dean understood that Guan Yue was only nine years old; if he achieved one major realm each year, he would graduate at fourteen—an age when others typically enroll—making him a genius.
Guan Yue cupped his fists and bowed to the dean, saying, "Thank you for your kindness." He did not know what benefits being an Inner Courtyard disciple would bring; he was just afraid of losing his freedom.
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was the most anxious. After hearing Guan Yue's words, he gradually relaxed. "This fool thinks he wants an opportunity to prove himself; I'll help him by humiliating him in the half-year assessment so he won't dare go to the Inner Courtyard afterward. Everyone will know that I, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, am truly the strongest, not you, Guan Yue!"
In fact, Guan Yue was also recalling his encounter on the way here with an Inner Courtyard disciple who had said a few words to him: "A person's reputation is built on their own merits; abilities must be demonstrated by oneself. If one solely relies on external forces, they can only be considered lucky rather than exceptional. Even if you enter the Inner Courtyard later on, it won't earn you anyone's goodwill."
Guan Yue realized that this person was none other than Xiahou Xiong, a renowned genius known as Wise Star in the academy. After reflecting on it carefully, he found it aligned with his own intentions; he needed to settle accounts with Wang Renwei, Ma Yi, and Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian eventually. Otherwise, it would weigh on his heart. Moreover, after he left, they would bully Lei Dazhuang and his friends. Thus, he agreed to Xiahou Xiong's request.
The dean joyfully led everyone away. He was genuinely delighted; he never expected that at his age—having stagnated for over a hundred years—he could still reach new heights. This meant his lifespan would increase exponentially as well. Originally just in Guardian Realm with a lifespan of a thousand years, now breaking through to Miraculous Realm meant his lifespan suddenly reached two thousand years! The joy was overwhelming! Throughout their journey back, he praised Guan Yue as an excellent talent who must be nurtured well. Of course, he also hoped that Guan Yue would work harder on formations; perhaps one day his new formations could help him break through to new realms!
Yin Jingjing confidently began to prepare for her journey home. Although she was highly regarded at the academy, at home, she was merely the family's hope; in the face of significant real-world issues, she was just a pawn. This was the struggle of being a girl. However, because of Guan Yue, she felt empowered to fight for herself. At this moment, she was filled with confidence, as today's events had proven that Guan Yue was indeed powerful! He would not be wrong.
Ouyang Shaohua watched as Guan Yue chatted happily with his roommates. A mix of emotions swirled within her; she was still pleased that Guan Yue had once again proven himself, affirming that she, Ouyang Shaohua, had not been mistaken—Guan Yue was a true man!
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian immediately turned away. She had seen the deep affection in Ouyang Shaohua's beautiful eyes for Guan Yue. Ouyang Shaohua did not hold back; her admiration for Guan Yue was evident. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian vowed to make Ouyang Shaohua look at her with such eyes; she wanted to be the one who conquered her!
Ruo Yi and Wang Renwei quietly observed the entire process from the side. When they heard the dean announce that Guan Yue had become a disciple of the Inner Courtyard, their hearts shattered. They had not anticipated this day; this little Guan Yue had actually broken the tradition of Qilin Academy by being accepted as an Inner Courtyard disciple as a first-year student. The cultivation conditions for Inner Courtyard disciples were several times better than those for ordinary students, and they knew they would never be able to hold their heads high again. Guan Yue would not let them off easily. They immediately thought of seeking out Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian to use her strength to thwart Guan Yue and shatter his dreams of becoming an Inner Courtyard disciple. The best way would be to incapacitate Guan Yue so he could no longer cultivate!
After sending off Lei Dazhuang, Sima Xiaosa, and Marco, Guan Yue returned to the Illusory Array to begin the trial of the third stage.
The third stage was a confrontation—a duel at the pinnacle of the Illusory Array's essence.
Teacher Xiao Fu smiled at Guan Yue and said, "You have talent, but this third stage is indeed very difficult. Generally, students at the peak of the Attainment realm do not dare to enter; only those with substantial cultivation dare to give it a try, and success is rare. You are only at Entry mid-tier now; it will be hard for you to last even half an hour inside. Why not wait until your cultivation improves before attempting it?"
"My points are running low; I'm afraid that in a couple of days I won't be able to resist doing other things, and then I won't have points left for this third stage. Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot," Guan Yue chuckled, feeling quite familiar with Teacher Xiao Fu by now.
Teacher Xiao Fu suddenly realized, "Silly boy, you don't know! Once you join the Inner Courtyard, all facilities in the academy will be available to you without restrictions. Do you see those closed rooms? They are exclusively for Inner Courtyard disciples; they can use them anytime without needing points. Every trial venue has such rooms for Inner Courtyard disciples. As long as you focus on cultivating in the Inner Courtyard, you won't have to worry about points at all."
"Oh, I see! Then I can consider going to the Inner Courtyard. But I should deal with Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian and the others first; otherwise, they will bully Lei Dazhuang and his group," Guan Yue shook his head and walked into Room One of the third stage's Illusory Array. There were three rooms in total, each with different scenarios set up.
The room Guan Yue entered was Room One, which contained the most challenging scenario! Since other students were already in the other rooms, he could only enter this one. Teacher Xiao Fu secretly worried for him because no disciple below the Attainment Realm had ever passed this stage before.
