Chapter 250 A Crimson Light! Soaring into the Sky!

Vice Dean Yan Song's mention of Grand Tutor Dongxuan rang out with powerful resonance.

It was like throwing a giant boulder into a calm lake.

It stirred up a thousand layers of waves!

Although everyone had already harbored suspicions in their hearts.

But when these four words were officially confirmed by the academy's Vice Dean, the entire field still erupted in an uncontrollable burst of exclamations!

"Holy crap! It really is Great Master Dong Xuan!"

"My god! A sixteen years old Grand Tutor is going to be the Dean of the Appraisal Institute!"

"I've got nothing more to say! I'm joining the Appraisal Institute! I must join!"

"Appraisal Institute! I want to enter the Appraisal Institute too! If I can just see Grand Tutor Dongxuan once, this life will be worth it!"

The young students on the plaza were completely boiling with excitement.

Countless pairs of eyes were frighteningly bright.

They were no longer just spectating Qian Rongrong, the S-Rank Genius; instead, they poured all their passion onto that Legendary figure who had yet to show his face.

That Prodigy Appraiser who became a Grand Tutor in a single day!

If they could receive his guidance.

Even if it was just a simple look at their beast or a basic nurturing plan, their strength could potentially skyrocket!

This was the terrifying aspect of a top-tier Appraiser.

They could not only identify Materials.

But also deduce the infinite possibilities of beast evolution!

The testing teachers, who were seriously recording just a moment ago.

Now looked up one after another.

Their faces were written with shock and disbelief.

Naturally, they had all heard of Grand Tutor Dongxuan's name.

The One-Day Grand Tutor!

A sixteen years old Grand Tutor Level!

The Grand Elder of the Appraisers Guild!

A hot commodity that every first-rate power was scrambling to curry favor with!

And now... this Legendary figure.

Had actually become the Dean of their Sky Dome Academy's Inner Court Appraisal Institute?

"Is... is this for real?"

A middle-aged female teacher murmured to herself.

She even forgot to put down the jade pen she used for recording.

"A sixteen years old Dean... since the founding of Sky Dome Academy, there has never been such a young Dean!"

"No, it's not a matter of age; a sixteen years old Grand Tutor has already shattered all common knowledge!"

"I really want to see with my own eyes... just what kind of person that is..."

The teachers looked at each other.

Besides shock in their eyes.

There was also uncontrollable curiosity and longing.

In the viewing area.

The reaction from the various Family powers was even more intense.

After a brief, deathly silence.

Came a volcanic eruption of discussion!

"Grand Tutor Dongxuan is coming to Sky Dome Academy?! This must be reported to the Clan Chief immediately!"

"Quick! Send a message back! All eligible children of the Family must apply for Sky Dome Academy next year! There is only one goal: the Appraisal Institute!"

"At any cost! We must have Family disciples enter the Appraisal Institute! Even if it's just as a chore-worker in the Outer Court! They must get in; if they can get acquainted with Dong Xuan's talent..."

"Grand Tutor Dongxuan... if we can connect with him, the Family will be worry-free for the next hundred years!"

For a moment.

Elders from various families took out their communication jade talismans.

Urgently contacting their families.

The entire viewing area was a mess of activity.

There wasn't a shred of their usual dignified bearing left.

Su Yuntian sat in his seat.

Watching the chaotic scene around him.

His heart was also surging with waves.

He knew Grand Tutor Dongxuan's influence was great.

But he didn't expect... it to be to this extent!

Just a piece of confirmed news.

Was enough to make the powers of the entire provincial city go crazy!

"Since this lord agreed to protect my Su Family..."

Su Yuntian thought to himself.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"This is truly great; with Jiang Yun in the academy, he should also be able to receive protection."

He couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the slightly stunned young figure on the plaza.

"I once mentioned Jiang Yun to Grand Tutor Dongxuan, and the Grand Tutor even seemed to have words of praise for him..."

The corners of Su Yuntian's mouth curled up slightly.

"When the time comes, I'll have this kid go directly to the Grand Tutor; surely the Grand Tutor won't refuse. With this great figure's protection, Jiang Yun can grow in peace at the academy."

On the field.

Jiang Yun was indeed a bit dazed at the moment.

He stood before the Testing Stone.

His ears were filled with the mountain-shaking shouts of 'Grand Tutor Dongxuan', and his eyes saw countless fanatical faces.

All of this... was directed at his alternate identity.

"Has the influence of my name, Dong Xuan... already reached such an absurd level?"

Jiang Yun smiled bitterly in his heart.

Clearly, this was Qian Rongrong's home field after testing for S-Rank Aptitude.

It was the key moment for Jiang Yun's upcoming test... but once the name Grand Tutor Dongxuan came out.

The protagonist was instantly swapped.

Everyone's attention was drawn away.

It was a strange feeling.

Watching countless people worship his other identity while his actual self stood right here, unknown to anyone.

In the air.

Vice Dean Yan Lie looked down at Qian Rongrong, who was completely conquered by the four words 'Grand Tutor Dongxuan', and sighed helplessly.

He knew there was no chance left.

And the facts were exactly as he expected.

The moment Qian Rongrong heard that name.

Her gaze changed completely.

From her initial calm.

To her indifference upon hearing about her S-Rank Aptitude.

To this very moment.

An unprecedentedly fiery light burned in those clear eyes!

That was adoration!

That was longing!

It was the determination of having found a lifelong goal!

She looked up at Vice Dean Yan Song.

Her voice was clear and firm.

It spread across the whole field.

"Vice Dean Yan, this Junior is willing to join the Appraisal Institute!"

Whoosh!!!

The eyes of the entire field focused once again on this S-Rank Genius.

Only this time.

In everyone's eyes, there was a bit more of an 'as expected' understanding, as well as... intense envy!

"With Qian Rongrong's Aptitude, entering the Appraisal Institute means she'll surely receive personal instruction from Grand Tutor Dongxuan..."

"I'm so envious! That's a sixteen years old Prodigy Grand Tutor! A Heaven-Defying existence who cleared the Grand Tutor Level Assessment in seconds! To receive his guidance, her future is limitless!"

"The Qian Family really hit the jackpot this time! Of the two siblings, one is already in the top three of the Heaven Rankings in the Beast Taming Institute, and the other is about to be personally cultivated by a Grand Tutor..."

Amidst countless envious gazes.

A brilliant smile appeared on Vice Dean Yan Song's face.

He nodded repeatedly.

His voice was full of gratification.

"Good! Good! Young Miss Qian, rest assured, joining my Appraisal Institute will definitely not disappoint you! I will handle your admission procedures right now!"

Qian Rongrong suddenly spoke up.

Asking a question that made the whole field hold its breath once more.

"Vice Dean Yan, can this Junior... receive personal guidance from Grand Tutor Dongxuan?"

She paused.

Those bright eyes looked straight at Vice Dean Yan Song.

Her voice carried a hint of uncontrollable anticipation.

"Can I take Grand Tutor Dongxuan as my master?"

Boom!!!

These words were like a thunderclap.

Exploding in everyone's hearts!

Taking Grand Tutor Dongxuan as a master!

What an honor!

What an Opportunity!

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

The looks they gave Qian Rongrong became even more complex.

There was shock, admiration, jealousy, but most of all, deep envy!

Hearing this, Vice Dean Yan Song.

The smile on his face stiffened slightly.

This question... he couldn't make the call on that!

What kind of figure was Grand Tutor Dongxuan?

He was an existence that even Dean Ming Jing had to treat with respect!

The matter of taking a disciple... how could he, a Vice Dean, decide that?

But seeing Qian Rongrong's expectant gaze and the countless pairs of eyes watching him from below, Vice Dean Yan Song knew he absolutely could not back down now.

He took a deep breath.

Forcing himself to stay calm.

He stroked his beard.

Revealing a profound and mysterious smile.

"Young Miss Qian's talent is outstanding, and you are already a High-Grade Appraiser; you share the same lineage as the Grand Tutor. When the time comes, I will certainly introduce you. As for whether you can become his disciple..."

He intentionally paused.

He teased everyone's curiosity to the limit.

Before slowly saying.

"While I cannot guarantee it, given Young Miss Qian's Aptitude, I believe the Grand Tutor will also look upon you with favor."

These words were spoken flawlessly.

They gave Qian Rongrong hope.

Without making a definitive promise.

But it was enough for Qian Rongrong.

To get an introduction.

To have a chance to meet.

This was already far ahead of everyone else!

The light in her eyes grew even brighter.

She immediately bowed in salute.

"Thank you, Vice Dean Yan! Then shall we go to the Appraisal Institute now? This Junior wishes to familiarize herself with the environment first."

This eager appearance.

Where was there any hint of her usual cold reserve?

Vice Dean Yan Song laughed heartily.

With a wave of his hand.

"Good! I shall take you there now!"

A water-blue light enveloped the two of them, and in the next moment, they had turned into a stream of light, flying toward the depths of the academy.

Vice Dean Yan Lie watched the direction they disappeared in.

He shook his head and also turned into a streak of fire and left.

On the high platform.

Elder Mo Chen coughed lightly.

Pulling everyone's attention back to reality.

"Silence!"

His voice spread across the field through his Divine Sense.

Suppressing the boiling discussion.

"The testing continues!"

Mo Chen's gaze swept across the area below.

His tone was serious.

"Those with excellent Aptitude will likewise have the chance to be valued by the Inner Court after entering Sky Dome Academy. Now, all channels continue testing!"

These words reignited hope in many young students.

That's right!

Even if they couldn't compare to Qian Rongrong!

As long as their Aptitude was good enough.

They would still have a chance after entering the academy!

However.

Most people's thoughts.

Were still lingering on the commotion just now.

Grand Tutor Dongxuan... this name and his legend were like a brand.

Deeply engraved in everyone's hearts.

In front of the testing channel.

The teacher responsible for Jiang Yun's test also finally came to his senses.

He looked at Jiang Yun, who was still standing before the Testing Stone.

He coughed lightly and reminded him.

"This student, you may continue the test."

His tone was much gentler than before.

This youth before him came from C City, yet was able to reach Silver Rank at sixteen years old and was so highly valued by the Su Family; his Aptitude shouldn't be bad.

Although both were sixteen years old.

Naturally, it was impossible to compare with a Prodigy like Grand Tutor Dongxuan, but at least... this Aptitude should be around C-Rank, right?

Jiang Yun nodded upon hearing this.

He took a deep breath.

Casting aside the stray thoughts in his heart.

No matter how dazzling Grand Tutor Dongxuan's halo was.

That was a matter for his other identity.

Right now.

He was Jiang Yun.

An incoming freshman about to undergo an Aptitude test.

He turned his gaze back to the Testing Stone in front of him.

A half-person-tall transparent crystal.

Glimmering with a faint luster under the sunlight.

Jiang Yun's mood was actually quite apprehensive.

He remembered the scene when he had his Awakening in C City.

That Awakening Stone couldn't measure his Aptitude Rank at all; it only shattered after erupting with a dazzling white light.

What about this time?

Could this higher-grade Testing Stone.

Measure it?

If it still couldn't be measured... what consequences would that cause?

If it was measured... what Rank would it be?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

But Jiang Yun knew there was no turning back now.

He slowly raised his right hand.

Palm down, he pressed it toward the surface of the crystal.

The touch was icy cold.

Somewhat similar to the Awakening Stone in C City.

But more warm and moist, as if life were flowing within it.

The field was still somewhat noisy.

Most people's attention had not yet fully returned from the commotion just now.

Lin Tao stood not far away.

Arms crossed.

He noticed Jiang Yun's actions.

His face wore an undisguised sneer.

"Putting on an act; what can a piece of trash from C City measure? At most, C-Rank is the ceiling!"

Several Lin Family disciples beside him also chimed in.

"Exactly! A sixteen years old Gold Rank? He's not afraid of spraining his tongue with all that bragging!"

"Wait until he measures a D-Rank; let's see where those Su Family people will hide their faces!"

Among the Su Family disciples, Su Mingxuan.

The corner of his mouth similarly curled into a cold smile.

He thought to himself.

"Trash matrilocal son-in-law, once you measure a garbage Aptitude, let's see if Father and Third Uncle will still value you so much!"

Even the testing teacher.

Secretly shook his head in his heart at this moment.

Although he appreciated the youth's steadiness, to be honest... coming from C City.

A sixteen years old Silver Rank was already very rare.

C-Rank Aptitude would be the limit.

B-Rank was almost impossible.

As for S-Rank?

That was a Rank only top-tier Family geniuses like Qian Rongrong could possibly possess!

However.

At the very instant Jiang Yun's palm fully touched the surface of the Testing Stone!

Buzz!!!

The Testing Stone suddenly emitted a low hum!

The humming sound wasn't loud.

But it seemed to ring directly in the depths of everyone's Soul!

Immediately following!

Whoosh!!!!

A red radiance, as fierce as blood and as dazzling as the sun, erupted from inside the Testing Stone!

The brilliance was so great!

So intense!

It instantly submerged the entire testing platform!

It was like a second sun exploding on the plaza!

A red pillar of light soared into the sky, piercing the clouds!

Dyeing the entire sky a crimson color!
