91: The image of the idol is shattered!

Yanlong Fortress!

One of the nine Divine Artifacts that guard the Dragon Country, it was a national treasure forged with the painstaking efforts of thousands upon thousands of people during the dark ages when the will of the heavens was revived.

It once stood on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield for hundreds of years, enduring countless unimaginable battles.

Its power was enough to easily slay any Eight-Turn Professionals, possessing an unfathomable might.

Until the Dragon Country and Blue Star established a foothold among the myriad races on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, Yanlong Fortress had remained as a foundation, stationed within Blazing Dragon University.

As Wang Chen and Situ Yu marveled at the grandeur of Yanlong Fortress, a figure suddenly approached them.

“Two students, are you here to see Dean Lin Feng?”

The newcomer was a man around thirty years old, dressed in a sharp Zhongshan suit. Although his appearance was unremarkable, a faint, powerful aura emanated from him.

Upon seeing this person, Wang Chen's gaze sharpened. Even just a hint of his aura gave him an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Even the Six-Turn teachers from the three major academies he encountered in the plaza yesterday hadn't made him feel such intense pressure.

This was definitely a Seven-Turn, or even a terrifying Rank 8 expert!

“Hello, teacher!” Wang Chen and Situ Yu quickly greeted him, then looked at the newcomer with curiosity.

“I wouldn't dare be called a teacher. You can just call me Senior Bai,” the man, who called himself Senior Bai, said with a smile. “The Dean's office is at the very top of the teaching building. I'll take you there.”

“Without me, your access wouldn't allow you to go up.”

Senior Bai had a slight smile on his face, but upon hearing his words, Wang Chen's body involuntarily tensed.

A Seven-Turn, or even an Eight-Turn expert, guiding him?

Was his Master really that influential?

Thinking this, he quickly pulled Situ Yu to thank Senior Bai.

“Thank you, Senior Brother. We'll trouble you then!”

“It's nothing, I'm going that way anyway.”

Hearing his words, Senior Bai waved his hand, then turned and motioned for them to follow.

Soon.

Wang Chen and Situ Yu, led by Senior Bai, arrived outside Dean Lin Feng's office.

The office door was wide open, and Lin Feng was buried behind his spacious desk, grading a mountain of documents.

Upon arriving, Senior Bai didn't even knock on the door, directly leading the two inside.

“Teacher Lin, I've brought the people up for you.”

Entering the office, Senior Bai very familiarly pulled up a chair and sat down, even pouring himself a cup of tea from the teapot on the table.

Behind him, Wang Chen's mouth twitched involuntarily at this sight.

He felt as if he had encountered another powerful figure.

“Bai Ziting, you're getting more and more presumptuous!”

Hearing the movement, Lin Feng put down the document in his hand and, seeing the situation, playfully scolded him with a laugh.

“It's all because of your excellent teaching, Master.”

Senior Bai sat comfortably in the chair, taking a sip of tea, his expression utterly unconcerned.

As he spoke, he pointed at Wang Chen and Situ Yu: “I'm here, I won't disturb your conversation with them, will I?”

“It's fine!”

Lin Feng waved his hand and turned to look at Wang Chen and Situ Yu: “This kid is the first student I took in my early years. He's your Senior Brother, and you should get closer to him in the future.”

Hearing this, Wang Chen and Situ Yu politely greeted him, their gazes towards Senior Bai filled with shock.

The two had never expected that the person who led them was actually the legendary figure of Blazing Dragon University, Bai Ziting!

This was the youngest Rank 8 expert in the history of the Dragon Country, an idol worshipped by countless people since childhood.

“You didn't mention your identity to them before?”

Seeing Wang Chen and Situ Yu's reactions, Dean Lin Feng glanced at Bai Ziting.

“Hehe!”

“What's the point if I tell them myself?”

Bai Ziting smiled, thoroughly enjoying the admiring gazes from Wang Chen and Situ Yu.

“You rascal…”

Hearing this, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. Bai Ziting was his most outstanding student; both his talent and growth rate were top-notch.

It was just his nonchalant demeanor that was somewhat frustrating.

As he shook his head and sighed, Bai Ziting's eyes curiously scrutinized Wang Chen.

“As Master's second student, Junior Brother, are you interested in following me in the future?”

“As long as you follow me, I will give you the best resources, and countless enemies for you to fight.”

“With the talent you've shown before, staying at Blazing Dragon University for three years is simply a waste. The Myriad Heavens Battlefield is more suitable for your improvement.”

“Only through the tempering of blood and fire can you shine brighter.”

“I believe that in the war against the myriad races, your strength will rapidly increase. Perhaps in less than three years, you will be able to reach Six-Turn!”

Bai Ziting rested his chin on his hand, speaking with a sincere expression.

Ah?

Go to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield?

Hearing Bai Ziting's words, Wang Chen rubbed his nose.

The Myriad Heavens Battlefield was a place many young Awakeners yearned for, and he was no exception.

Witnessing extraterrestrial beings, contending with the myriad races of the heavens… each thought was enough to make one's blood boil.

But, was it a bit too early to go now?

It was now the seven-hundredth year since the will of the heavens revived, and Blue Star had long since established a firm foothold on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield. The battlefield situation was no longer as tense as before.

Currently, entering the Myriad Heavens Battlefield was subject to restrictions by various Blue Star countries, to prevent hot-headed Awakeners from seeking death.

Generally speaking, any Awakener below Rank 4 was explicitly forbidden from going to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

He was only a Second-Turn now. Going to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield at this time looked suspiciously like seeking death!

For a moment, Wang Chen couldn't help but hesitate.

However, before he could think of anything, Dean Lin Feng, sitting behind the desk, impatiently slapped the table:

“You brat, you just got back and you're already trying to poach my student? I think you're itching for a beating again!”

He glared at Bai Ziting, then his gaze fell on Wang Chen.

“You too, kid. You just became my disciple yesterday, and today you're already thinking of running away?”

“The Myriad Heavens Battlefield is not a place you can go to right now. Any monster you casually encounter there will have the strength equivalent to a Rank 4 Awakener!”

“If you go now, isn't that just seeking death?”

Lin Feng said with a laughing scold.

“Master, you can't say that. With me around, who can harm Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen?”

Bai Ziting, hearing his words, said somewhat unconvinced.

“Scram!”

“I'm planning to have Wang Chen reclaim the honor our Blazing Dragon University lost in this year's National Freshman Competition. You brat, don't even think about snatching him away from me!”

Lin Feng said impatiently, and with a wave of his hand, a vast power instantly appeared in the office. This power immediately fell upon Bai Ziting.

“Master, you're not playing fair!”

“You're actually using the Yanlong Fortress's…”

The next second, before Bai Ziting could finish his sentence, his body disappeared from the office.
