After thinking it over, Yu Shouyi decided to ask for clarification.
The noise in the square subsided considerably in an instant.
Both of them were martial artists with exceptional hearing. Even without Yu Shouyi deliberately lowering his voice, they could still hear their conversation if they listened attentively.
The professors from the mountains and seas high in the sky also focused their attention on this.
"Punishment?"
To everyone's bewilderment, Zhou Changhe looked completely confused, asking, "What punishment?"
"About classmate Shen Qian..." Yu Shousi was also a little confused.
"Oh, this? The joint investigation has concluded. The preliminary findings indicate that Shen Qian's behavior did not violate any rules or regulations. Of course, further review by higher authorities is still required. What I'm saying is just the investigation team's preliminary opinion."
Zhou Changhe patted Yu Shousi on the shoulder casually, then smiled.
"Shou Si, I still need to go back and report. If you come to Beidu another day, remember to find me for a drink."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Changhe moved and soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Outside the small auditorium, all was deathly silent.
What did I hear?
"Shen Qian...is everything alright?"
A moment later, a commotion erupted around them as everyone scrambled to confirm with the other party.
Yu Shouyi was also stunned, Zhou Changhe's words still echoing in his ears.
Although it was described as a "preliminary confirmation," Yu Shouyi understood that this was actually the final result.
He didn't understand how the magic trick worked.
No one can understand.
Under the sunlight, the last to emerge from the small auditorium was a boy.
Seeing that Shen Qian remained calm and unharmed in Jiangzhong Military Base, everyone confirmed that what they had just experienced was not an illusion.
"Interesting, interesting..."
Ning Zhiyuan, who was in mid-air, shook his head and chuckled, then turned and left.
Although the remaining professors from the Mountain and Sea Sect were curious, they could not gather around and chatter due to their status and position. They all took a deep look at Shen Qian and then left one after another.
Shen Qian suddenly looked up and stared in a direction several hundred meters away.
If he wasn't mistaken, there seemed to be a familiar yet unfamiliar shadow lingering on that rooftop just now.
"She's here too..."
Recalling his experiences in the Heavenly Court, Chen Qian's thoughts were momentarily hazy.
The students from Jiangzhong Military Academy gradually dispersed after being reprimanded by Yu Shousi, leaving only Yu Shousi and Shen Qian in the end.
Shen Qian had no need to hide anything from Yu Shousi, so he briefly explained what had happened.
"Shan Hai...you brat, you've got good luck!"
Yu Shousi was lost in thought for a long time before he said with a complicated tone, "I was worried about you for so long."
"I'm sorry, Director Yu, I..."
"No need to explain!"
Yu Shousi waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's good that you're alright. I just found out a little late."
"Director Yu, is there anything else you'd like to say to me?"
Shen Qian originally intended to take his leave, but seeing that Yu Shousi seemed hesitant to speak, he took the initiative to ask.
"You broke through the mountains and seas at an unprecedented age, which is a cause for celebration. I shouldn't be pouring cold water on you at this time. However, I'm worried that you might suffer from carelessness later, so I still want to remind you."
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Shousi still spoke in a deep voice.
"Director Yu, please go ahead."
After a moment of surprise, he nodded.
"On this journey to the heavens, you must act with caution and never be arrogant or conceited," Yu Shousi solemnly instructed.
"Does Director Yu perhaps think that I would be arrogant and overbearing during the 'Treading the Nine Heavens' event?"
It was rare to see Yu Shousi looking so serious. Shen Qian found it somewhat amusing, but also felt a little skeptical.
“I know you’ve never been an arrogant person, but you’ve entered the world before you’ve even come of age, so it’s inevitable that you’ll become a little spoiled. That’s why I thought I’d say a few more words.”
Yu Shousi shook his head and said, "Do you know, originally, I only planned for you to focus on the 'Nine Heavens Cup' in this competition for supremacy. At least until today, that was the plan..."
"oh?"
Shen Qian raised an eyebrow, never expecting Yu Shousi to have such thoughts.
This year's "Treading the Nine Heavens" competition is divided into two sections. The first is the regular section, the "Nine Heavens Cup," which is held every year and is only for freshmen.
The second segment is the main competition, open to all talented students from universities who are under the age of 24.
That is the ultimate competitive stage exclusively for young geniuses, attracting everyone's attention.
As for Shen Qian himself, he naturally had no interest in the "Nine Heavens Cup," which was nothing more than defeating the same person he had defeated half a year ago again.
It's just a change of format and location, but there are even more competitors.
But they are essentially the same.
What still attracts him is the desire to ascend to the heavens and compete with the top geniuses of his generation and predecessors.
According to Qu Bai, military geniuses, ancient martial arts families, children of royalty, overseas hunters... it will be an incredibly vast contest.
Not to mention the Nine Kings' Treasure as a reward.
Judging from the scale of the event, its level certainly far surpasses that of the Shenji Temple at Wuding Bridge.
Shen Qian was completely unprepared for the fact that Yu Shousi became nervous after he broke through the Mountain and Sea Realm and became stronger.
"It's almost impossible for someone your age to break through the Mountain and Sea Realm, but the probability increases significantly when you're in your early twenties. Given China's population, even if the relative number is small, the absolute number won't be that small."
Yu Shousi exhaled a breath of stale air and revealed his inner thoughts.
