Chapter 652: Utterly Foolish
However, Su Haochen's team from Cangming Academy was almost completely wiped out.
He noticed that Su Haochen's name was no longer on the leaderboard.
That means Su Haochen has already died in the Eight Desolate Divine Realm.
"Who is this kid?"
Li Yuan's handsome face was reflected in the water mirror. The Second Elder of the Ming Clan stared at him intently, his eyes full of interest. "I have been keeping an eye on him for a long time. He has passed through several secret realms all by himself... Although his methods are a bit ruthless, he is very decisive and efficient. He is a promising talent."
Upon hearing the words of the Second Elder of the Ming Clan, the Dean stepped forward and bowed to her, saying, "Second Elder of the Ming Clan, this is a student of my Lingfeng Academy."
"So you're a student from Lingfeng Academy, one of the three great academies." The Second Elder of the Ming Clan stroked his beard and smiled as he looked at the Dean. "If I'm not mistaken, all of the top ten on this points list should be disciples of your Lingfeng Academy, right?"
The dean smiled and said, "That's right. However, I didn't do much; it was all thanks to the hard work of these kids."
"Dean, please don't be modest. I've heard a lot about your three academies."
The Second Elder of the Ming Clan glanced at the boy in the water mirror again. "However, I am more interested in this boy who can use dark spiritual energy. Dean, could you please introduce him?"
The dean narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dark spiritual energy—the kind of energy best suited for cultivating witchcraft.
The Ming clan, which has always focused on cultivating witchcraft, probably took a liking to Li's talent.
However, he didn't know much about this young man; the only thing he knew was that he was the Seventh Elder's only direct disciple.
It is extremely mysterious, and the family and power behind it seem that no one has ever tried to find out more about it—not even the Seventh Elder.
Although he initially doubted Li's identity, during his time at the academy, apart from attending classes and cultivating normally, he did not do anything that would damage the academy's status or reputation.
In addition, he also has a very good relationship with Xiao Fei.
He knew Xiao Fei's character well, and she was probably not from any evil force to be on good terms with him.
Faced with the Second Elder of the Ming Clan's frank words, the Dean bowed again and smiled, "This child has a very powerful and mysterious family behind him. If the Second Elder of the Ming Clan wants Xiao Li to join the Ming Clan, he will probably be disappointed."
The Second Elder of the Ming Clan paused, thinking, "A very powerful and mysterious family?"
As far as he knew, the power of the three hidden families was already enormous. Under this world, even the strong would not easily offend the authority of the three hidden families.
But the words of the Dean of Lingfeng Academy... seemed to be a warning to him that there was a force even more powerful than the three hidden families.
"Oh? I wonder what kind of mysterious family it is? Could you tell me?" The Second Elder of the Ming Clan asked in a rather inquisitive tone.
The dean remained calm and flicked his sleeves: "The power behind this child is something that even I, the dean, have never truly touched. Second Elder of the Ming Clan, I think... you should stop interfering."
"After all, there are mountains beyond mountains and skies beyond skies."
The dean slowly glanced at the elders of the Duan and Jing clans, then turned his gaze back to the second elder of the Ming clan: "In this world, the most terrifying are not the strong, but those cultivators who are truly hidden among them, without a trace."
Hearing the conversation between the Dean and the Second Elder of the Ming Clan, and seeing the Second Elder's unpleasant expression, the First Elder of the Jing Clan curled his lips in a sarcastic smile.
The Ming clan is notoriously arrogant, and they will stop at nothing to win over more talented cultivators and consolidate their family's position.
Now, they're even trying to get their hands on these younger students in the academy...
It's absolutely foolish!
