136: Hidden by the Wind

At this moment, thunderous applause erupted!

Whether it was commoner students or noble students, all were genuinely impressed by Shen Xi.

A single person, powerful enough to rival a noble?

A single person, powerful enough to establish their own Faction?

This not only challenged the worldview of the commoner students but also that of the noble students.

It was as if they had opened the door to a new world.

Relying on heaven, earth, or parents is not as good as relying on oneself.

If one is strong enough, one can roam the world freely, making anyone dare not underestimate them.

To the side.

Chen Ye and the Headmaster saw this scene and both nodded in satisfaction.

The current effect was even better than they had anticipated.

The academy's atmosphere could also change because of this.

Commoner students would no longer feel inferior, and noble students would no longer be arrogant; only by guarding against arrogance and impatience could one become a true powerhouse.

"For this matter, I must thank you again."

Shen Xi said to Zhao Delong.

If Zhao Delong hadn't arrived suddenly, the effect would definitely not have been this good.

Even if he had talked until the sky fell, without factual evidence, these students would not have believed him.

But precisely because Zhao Delong came and showed exceptional respect towards Shen Xi, the students believed that as long as one is strong, what does a Senator matter?

He still had to be polite, didn't he?

"You're too kind. I didn't expect to inadvertently help you, and what you said is the truth. Only by being strong oneself can one fear no Faction."

Zhao Delong smiled, not taking credit for himself.

Afterward, he did not linger and left the Twenty-Eight Academy.

He still needed to be stationed in the Outer City to prevent the beast tide from returning; this was his mission.

Only by completing this mission could he possibly return to the Senate and resume his position as Senator.

On the other side.

After Shen Xi greeted Chen Ye and the Headmaster, he also chose to leave.

He had already finished what he needed to do.

As for the graduation procedures, the Headmaster had already agreed to them long ago; not only for Shen Xi but also for Fatty.

Incidentally, Shen Xi also handled Wang Lin's enrollment procedures.

Although Wang Lin had already embarked on the path of a Martial Artist, it was still very necessary for him to enter the academy to study.

The academy not only teaches Martial Arts Cultivation and imparts Cultivation Techniques, but in the first year of enrollment, it also teaches a lot of theoretical knowledge.

For example, the situation in the wilderness, what areas are near Twenty-eighth City, and the habits of most Yao Beasts.

These things are crucial knowledge for newcomers.

Shen Xi and Fatty had already learned them, so they could naturally complete their graduation procedures, but Wang Lin had not yet understood them. Shen Xi decided to let him stay at school for at least a year to grasp these specific situations.

It wasn't until Shen Xi's figure disappeared from sight that Chen Ye and the Headmaster withdrew their gazes.

"Chen Ye, this student of yours is excellent!"

The Headmaster said with emotion.

As a powerhouse in the Initial Stage of Acquired Realm, he could naturally feel the subtle pressure emanating from Shen Xi.

Even he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness when facing Shen Xi.

It was precisely because of this that he had agreed with Chen Ye's suggestion to let Shen Xi 'discipline' the other students and rectify the academy's atmosphere.

"Yes! Shen Xi is indeed very outstanding!"

Chen Ye's Face showed pride.

With his student's success, he also felt honored.

"Eh? Is this bag dropped by Shen Xi?"

The Headmaster quickly noticed the bag not far away.

The bag was exactly where Shen Xi had stood before leaving.

"This is!"

Chen Ye's pupils contracted.

He was all too familiar with this bag.

"This child..." The Headmaster, not understanding, picked up the bag and opened it. A small pile of sparkling diamond coins made his eyes a little dizzy.

He looked at the bag, then at Chen Ye, and said again, meaningfully, "You have a good student!"

...Night fell.

Shen Xi arrived at the Dan Phoenix Tower.

This was one of the top restaurants in Twenty-eighth City and also the place where Liu Piaoling invited Shen Xi and Liu Yiyi to dine together.

What surprised Shen Xi was that Liu Yiyi, who should have been in seclusion to comprehend the Legacy of the martial token fragment, had also come.

Logically, at this moment, she should be single-minded, focusing on Cultivating in the Enlightenment Room!

"Hahaha, for you two to attend this banquet, you are truly giving me, Liu Piaoling, immense Face. Sit, please sit!"

Liu Piaoling was all smiles.

Both Shen Xi and Liu Yiyi were young talents, considered the top Geniuses among the younger generation.

One could say that the future belonged to them.

Being able to attend the banquet now, Liu Piaoling felt deeply honored.

Although he was older than them, in the world of Martial Artists, strength has always been respected.

Their strength was not inferior to Liu Piaoling's; in fact, it could be said to be crushing.

"Speaker of the Senate Liu, you're too kind!"

Shen Xi also responded with a smile.

"Exactly! I came to the banquet because of you, Senior. There's no need to be so polite, otherwise, even if the King of Heaven came, I wouldn't give him Face."

Liu Yiyi answered even more directly.

However, Liu Piaoling did not feel the slightest displeasure.

After all, with Liu Yiyi's personality, she indeed didn't need to give anyone Face.

As the proud daughter of a Secluded Faction, with just this identity, she could do whatever she wanted.

Her presence at the banquet was already giving Liu Piaoling enough Face, and she truly recognized Liu Piaoling as an elder who dedicated himself to the common people.

"Hahaha, then I, this old man, won't say any more polite words. Today, there's only one thing: eat and drink well."

Saying this, Liu Piaoling gestured for the waiters of Dan Phoenix Tower to serve the dishes.

After three rounds of wine and five courses of food.

The three of them became more and more familiar with each other.

"By the way, do you know Zhu Feng City?"

Liu Piaoling suddenly asked.

"Zhu Feng City?"

Shen Xi was startled, not expecting the other party to suddenly bring up Zhu Feng City.

"It's a city in the wilderness, right? I heard from the elders in my Family that the founder of Zhu Feng City was a Sword Cultivator, whose Wind Chasing Swordplay shook the world, and even Secluded Factions held him in high regard."

As a descendant of a Secluded Faction, Liu Yiyi naturally knew more, revealing the origin of Zhu Feng City in one sentence.

"That's right, it's that Zhu Feng City. It is said that the Sword Cultivator was also a descendant of a Secluded Faction?"

Liu Piaoling asked with some curiosity.

"The rumor is true, but the Secluded Faction to which the founder of Zhu Feng City belonged was already destroyed before his rise. That Senior, without any resource assistance, rose from obscurity, step by step entered the Detachment Realm, and finally avenged his Family."

"And after his revenge, he did not intend to rebuild the Faction but chose to follow his heart, helping the people slaughtered by Yao Beasts, eventually creating the predecessor of Zhu Feng City."
