At this moment, outside the secret realm, the elders from various academies were gathered together, their eyes fixed on the scene of the secret realm transmitted by the stone statue. Everyone's face showed deep thought and exploration.
Among them, the elder of the Alchemy Academy, Liu Yansong, narrowed his eyes slightly, glared at Song Lizhen standing across from him with disdain, and said sarcastically, "Hmph, in my opinion, some people's magic is so outdated and outdated that even a mere first-level warrior can easily break it."
Being accused in such a direct manner, Song Lizhen's face immediately turned red with anger. He angrily retorted, "Nonsense! My runes have always been accurate and there has never been any mistakes!"
However, despite his tough words, he couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart. Why could Xie Qi break his magic?
At this moment, the Weapon Refining Academy elder, Liu Yeqing, who had been silent the entire time, said, "President Song, your strength and talent are naturally obvious to all. However, this disciple named Xie Qi may truly be a rare exception."
Meanwhile, Yan Yuechen, an elder from the Body Refining Academy, gently stroked his chin and muttered thoughtfully, "This Xie Qi seems quite impressive in other areas, but why is he so terrible at Body Refining? He's only a Level One Warrior. Sigh, if it weren't for his low level of Body Refining, I'd really like to recruit him to the Body Refining Academy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yansong couldn't wait to interrupt, "Hey! My dear colleagues, it's not that I want to compete with you. It would be a shame for a talent like Xie Qi, who has already reached the level of a fifth-level alchemist, not to join our Alchemy Academy. So, please don't compete with me for this talent..."
However, at this moment, the heavy door was suddenly pushed open from the outside! Accompanied by a dull sound, everyone turned their heads and saw Dean Xiu Qiyan walking slowly into the room with steady steps.
Xiu Qiyan walked straight towards the stone statue in the center of the room, his deep and sharp eyes fixed on the scene inside the stone.
Then, he turned his gaze to the elders present and asked solemnly, "But did anyone unfortunately die?"
Faced with the Dean's sudden questioning, the elders looked at each other, unsure how to respond. After a moment's silence, one of the elders stepped forward and began to recount everything that had happened to the Dean in detail.
After listening to the elder's account, Xiu Qiyan nodded slightly, indicating he understood the situation. He then turned, his gaze fixed on Xue Yun, his only disciple who had been following him. He instructed in an unquestionable tone, "Xue Yun, enter the secret realm and watch over them. Don't let them cause any more trouble."
However, Xue Yun seemed to have not expected his master to give such an order at all, and a hint of surprise and hesitation instantly appeared on his face.
He hesitated for a moment before cautiously responding, "Master, there's only one day left before they emerge from the secret realm. Besides, Xie Qi has already sworn a blood oath, so there shouldn't be any unexpected situations..."
Before Xue Yun could finish his words, Xiu Qiyan couldn't help but frown and interrupted him sternly, "Don't you want to listen to what your master says?"
Faced with the master's sudden question, Xue Yun's heart suddenly tightened. He quickly lowered his head and responded with deep fear, "Disciple, I absolutely dare not do that. I will follow your instructions and enter the secret realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Yun did not dare to delay for a moment, and after the secret realm opened, he walked in.
However, just as the secret realm was opening, in a place where no one could see, a person's finger emitted a strange glow and flew straight towards the already opened entrance to the secret realm.
When the entrance to the secret realm slowly closed again, Liu Yansong, who had been standing by and watching coldly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly playful smile.
He narrowed his eyes and said to Xiu Qiyan with ill intent, "Dean, didn't you love your precious disciple the most? How could you bear to be so mean to him?"
When Liu Yeqing heard Liu Yansong's sarcastic words, his face instantly turned gloomy and he shouted sternly: "Liu Yansong! Mind your limits!"
Liu Yansong obviously didn't care about Liu Yeqing's warning. He just clicked his tongue lightly and shrugged nonchalantly.
"I just really feel it's a shame for such a wonderful child! If something unexpected happens after entering the secret realm, it would be really terrible, don't you think so?"
As Liu Yansong spoke, he glanced at the person next to him out of the corner of his eye.
Xiu Qiyan frowned upon seeing this, staring at Liu Yansong suspiciously, and asked sternly, "What do you mean? Stop being so sarcastic!"
Facing Xiu Qiyan's questioning, Liu Yansong remained remarkably calm. He smiled nonchalantly and responded, "Oh, what's the point? I just feel pure regret."
You know, Liu Yansong and Xiu Qiyan have been disliking each other for a long time, but they just talk about it and there is no actual conflict. The other elders around them have long been accustomed to this.
At this moment, Yan Yuechen, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up to smooth things over: "Brother Liu, you're really worrying too much! Xue Yun is truly exceptional. In my opinion, even if he were to encounter any danger, he would be able to handle it with ease. Perhaps the other students taking the test will even need Xue Yun's care!"
However, when Liu Yansong heard his words, he turned around without saying a word and walked away with a swagger.
As he left, his slightly teasing voice could be heard faintly: "Never mind, they're just a bunch of immature kids. How boring! As for me, I simply don't have the leisure to watch any longer here. I'd better be leaving first!"
After saying this, his figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving the others present looking at each other in bewilderment, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
At this moment, Xiu Qiyan took a deep breath weakly, as if trying to calm the surging emotions in his heart. Then he waved his sleeves vigorously and left, leaving only silence in his place.
