Lat's Hand was trembling with anger because he valued Gao Yuxin's opinion so much. Now that Gao Yuxin was doubting his abilities, how could he not be furious?
Gao Yuxin intended to provoke Lat's Hand's fighting spirit, so she didn't mind his insults: "Alright, I'll be watching you. Show me how amazing you can be, and don't let me down."
After this conversation with Gao Yuxin, in order to prove his Combat Power, Lat's Hand transformed completely into a human form like Jin Xi, appearing as a graceful and handsome young man dressed in blue. He exuded elegance and seemed well-educated, knowledgeable, and refined. There was a hint of an ethereal aura about him that commanded respect! His height, weight, demeanor, and appearance were all top-notch, making him a model gentleman and a charming talent.
This Lat's Hand, noticing the curious gaze of Guan Yue, said unhappily, "What? Have you never seen someone as suave as me? Guan Yue, from today on, I will inherit the legacy of Lat's Hand. From now on, I will be called Lat's Hand. As for my position, I will be your partner—colleagues working together. No discussion."
Guan Yue was overjoyed: "Lat's Hand, that's wonderful! I have another partner named Jin Xi. Would you like to meet her?" Guan Yue hoped to truly keep Lat's Hand, as he could be a valuable asset!
Lat's Hand sneered: "I heard from Yu Xin that she's a divine beast, right? I want to find her and have a little spar. Bring her over."
Seeing that this Lat's Hand, who had never been effective before, was actively seeking him out, Guan Yue realized it was thanks to Gao Yuxin. He quickly called for Jin Xi, who was teaching martial arts to Guan Songtao and two girls in the Sky-Sealing Tower. When Lat's Hand saw Jin Xi, he laughed heartily.
"So this is the divine beast? Just a little girl."
Jin Xi, having listened to Gao Yuxin's introduction of Lat's Hand, suddenly understood that he was just a robot not even as good as herself.
Feeling furious at being looked down upon by Lat's Hand, she scoffed: "So you're just an ancient relic. What? Do you want to compare skills with me?"
Lat's Hand laughed arrogantly: "That's exactly my intention. Dare to fight?"
Without saying more, Jin Xi replied to Lat's Hand: "Follow me," and flew up into the sky first. Lat's Hand immediately followed, and they quickly flew far away. They both knew they couldn't fight near Guan Yue's academy.
Guan Yue understood they were going to spar and was very eager to know who would come out on top.
It wasn't until the third day that Jin Xi and Lat's Hand returned together. A hint of pride was visible on Jin Xi's face. Seeing this, Guan Yue assumed that Jin Xi had gained the upper hand.
Who knows the details? It was a tie between Lat's Hand's continuous ability and Jin Xi's explosive power!
Jin Xi quietly said to Guan Yue: “Lat's Hand has a very strange attack power. I find it quite odd that I was able to fight him to a draw; it's truly a stroke of luck.” A look of desolation, typically seen on the faces of the elderly, appeared on her youthful face, leaving Guan Yue bewildered.
Guan Yue understood Jin Xi's feelings about tying with Lat's Hand, but hearing her say it was a stroke of luck made Guan Yue see her in a new light! Her learning ability was indeed impressive!
“What’s so strange about him?” Guan Yue asked Jin Xi, curious about Lat's Hand. Usually, Lat's Hand got along better with Gao Yuxin, and had little interaction with Guan Yue, so her understanding of him was almost nonexistent.
“His attack power is exceptionally strong; he can easily penetrate Inner Strength defenses and reach the core. Even driving Origin Energy cannot resist it. That’s what I find very peculiar,” Jin Xi explained seriously.
So Lat's Hand's attack power can reach the core? What kind of force is that? Is it based on the same principle as my Laser Gun?
“He relies on the power of technology,” Guan Yue could only explain to Jin Xi.
“What is technological power?” Jin Xi asked in confusion. “Isn’t it the power of our continent? I’ve never encountered technological power before.”
After thinking for a moment, Guan Yue explained to her: “He is similar to Gao Yuxin, both relying on technological power. However, while Gao Yuxin is in the humanities, Lat's Hand is in the sciences. It’s like our martial artists and Literary Context Practitioners.”
“So which continent are they from?” Jin Xi persistently asked.
“They are from another world. I’m not sure which continent exactly. But I know that in their world, humanity has completely regressed; they are all weak, with almost zero Combat Power. Therefore, humans can only produce powerful technological products and rely on their strong Combat Power to fight against external enemies. Both Lat's Hand and Gao Yuxin are products of that time’s human technology,” Guan Yue explained meticulously to ensure that Jin Xi understood.
“Oh, so they are both products of humanity, similar to me; they became human later on. Hehe.” Finally realizing that neither Lat's Hand nor Gao Yuxin could be considered original humans, Jin Xi felt balanced inside. If she couldn’t defeat a human, she would feel very upset.
She now considered herself an outstanding human.
Then, in a low voice, Jin Xi reported to Guan Yue: “That guy Lat's Hand told me you’re a hybrid.”
Guan Yue immediately shouted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! Don't listen to his ridiculous claims. I am a purebred human."
Hearing Guan Yue suddenly lose his temper, Jin Xi quickly shut up and stopped reporting.
He Bi, Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, and Ouyang Shaohua arrived at Dragon Lake Academy together. However, Huangfu Jiayun did not come along; she was with Zihongfang. She still believed that Guan Yue's treatment of Zihongfang was wrong. She wanted to represent Guan Yue and the others to show goodwill towards Zihongfang, and no amount of persuasion from Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia would change her mind. Upon hearing this, Guan Yue could only smile wryly.
After returning to the academy, He Bi was immediately taken to a designated location and involved in the academy's external reception affairs. Since she was now the most beautiful girl at Dragon Lake Academy, the academy naturally wanted to showcase her as a point of pride. Alongside her in the reception were several other beauties, but under He Bi's brilliance, the others seemed overshadowed.
As soon as Ouyang Shaohua and the others arrived at Dragon Lake Academy, they found Guan Yue and reported some good news: Ouyang Shaohua had secured a spot for direct entry into Great Dragon Pool through her family's connections. Being able to claim one of the ten spots available in the Southern Source Empire demonstrated the strength of the Ouyang Family.
Now, Guan Yue's main focus was to help Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia obtain spots in Great Dragon Pool. The first idea that came to his mind was to use the Unintentional Submergence Technique to Substitute Li for Peach, allowing Jin Xi and Lat's Hand to help Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia sneak through. As long as they placed in the top nine thousand, no one would notice.
He discussed this idea with Huangfu Jiayin, who immediately disagreed.
"Unless both of us break through to Miraculous Realm, we will definitely be exposed. In Dragon Lake Academy alone, there are over a million Disciples above Miraculous Realm. They are all vying for these nine thousand spots, each one eyeing them greedily. Even Disciples at Miraculous Realm find it very difficult to secure a spot, let alone those at Guardian Realm. Even Fire Red Girl Hu Hui finds it extremely challenging to obtain a spot. If we forcefully take a spot, it will truly lead to endless troubles."
Huangfu Jiayin calmly analyzed the situation. After listening to her analysis, Guan Yue realized that this matter was indeed challenging.
Huangfu Jiayin should have no problem breaking through to Wonderland soon, but Naijia was currently only at Guardian Realm High-Quality and had not yet reached peak; it would be difficult for her to break through in the near future.
In any case, they should first focus on getting Huangfu Jiayin to break through to Miraculous Realm.
Thus, Guan Yue instructed Gao Yuxin to arrange for Jin Xi to obtain targeted medicine from Sky-Sealing Tower to help Huangfu Jiayin break through. After hesitating for a moment, Gao Yuxin nodded and said, "Alright."
With Guan Yue's strong support, Huangfu Jiayin indeed broke through to Miraculous Realm three days later.
Before the breakthrough, Guan Yue had already prepared a dedicated breakthrough venue for her, so Huangfu Jiayin smoothly advanced to Miraculous Realm.
After seeing all the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning disappear from the sky, Ouyang Shaohua and the Nai Jia Sisters rushed forward together to congratulate Huangfu Jiayin on her successful breakthrough.
Guan Yue was very pleased to observe that during Huangfu Jiayin's breakthrough process, the intuitive Naijia also reached the Peak of Guardian Realm! Guan Yue immediately thought that Naijia's talent was quite impressive as well!
Following this, Guan Yue arranged for Naijia to break through again.
When Naijia successfully advanced to the Miraculous Realm, Naiqian felt very sad. Watching Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia reach the Miraculous Realm one after another made her feel incredibly foolish.
At Qilin Academy, when Guan Yue, Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, and others first entered the academy, she had already been an Inner Courtyard disciple. However, now, just a few years later, they and Ouyang Shaohua had surpassed her. She felt very dejected.
Ouyang Shaohua, on the other hand, was very happy to see her sisters growing together. She was genuinely delighted, especially since they could also help Guan Yue become stronger, which would open up endless possibilities for their future. She felt that this would certainly benefit her own marriage with Guan Yue. She was filled with anticipation.
The selection competition for entering the Spiritualized Dragon Pool at Dragon Lake Academy finally began.
All students of Dragon Lake Academy participated in this selection competition.
Among them were students from the Guardian Realm, Wonderland, and Eternal Realm.
It was said that five students from the Eternal Realm were exempt from exams and could directly enter the Spiritualized Dragon Pool. The competition was only among students from the Guardian Realm, Wonderland, and Eternal Realm.
Except for key focus students from the academy, all other students were treated equally regardless of their realm distinctions and would compete in Arena matches to determine their spots. A total of nine thousand spots would be decided through these matches! This meant that any student whose Combat Power ranked within the top nine thousand at Dragon Lake Academy could enter the Spiritualized Dragon Pool. Among them, the top one thousand would enter the best area to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy alongside exempted students from various grades of the academy.
