49: To complete the arcane, all you need are hands!
The school was conveniently located in the city center, and with a flash of their figures, the two instantly saw the 654 University campus.
Above the school, there was an anti-flight barrier of the Combination Realm, so the two had to land and enter the campus through the main gate.
Nangong Jing was naturally stunning, and her ancient cultivator attire easily garnered a lot of attention.
"Oh, it's Miss Jing!"
"So beautiful... Who's that man next to her?"
"I don't know, besides being handsome, I can't tell anything else, probably a simp."
Numerous whispers were clearly audible to Meng Yun: "Nangong Jing, are you that popular? Is that Eastern Abyss also your simp?"
"Pretty much, the words are crude but the reasoning isn't," Nangong Jing said expressionlessly.
Meng Yun shook his head lightly and walked towards the Dean's office.
Simps, they're really not to be trifled with.
Especially a Combination Realm simp...
Along the way, Meng Yun truly witnessed the diversity of species: dragon-human maids, futuristic androids, and even shapeshifting beautiful girls.
Mecha girls? Stand up...
These 'creatures' that survived the historical fault lines, after being screened by the 654 Bureau, were selectively placed in the campus for modernization.
Meng Yun clicked his tongue in wonder, arriving at the Dean's office.
"What? You want me to be a lecturer?!"
Facing the Dean's appointment, Meng Yun took out his phone and checked.
Indeed, in the training plan, he was not a student, but a lecturer.
"You became a Nascent Soul before twenty, a genius rarely seen in the cultivation world; no one is qualified to teach you, you are the best teacher and role model."
"The school's resources are open to you; you only need to answer students' questions and clear their doubts."
"Serving as a lecturer for the Cultivation Class, no problem, right?"
"No, I choose to be an Arcane Class lecturer," Meng Yun replied.
The Dean's expression subtly changed.
An unexpected gain?
"Arcane?" The Dean's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Meng Yun, questioning, "I have never received any intelligence that you possess Arcane arts."
"Well, now you know."
Meng Yun's blunt statement made the Dean's tone falter.
Immediately, a faint smile appeared on the Dean's face.
He didn't think Meng Yun was boasting on a whim; on the contrary, perhaps Meng Yun truly was a versatile talent.
Coincidentally, there was an opportunity right now.
If Meng Yun performed exceptionally, letting him be an Arcane Class lecturer was not out of the question; even if he failed, the school would not suffer any loss.
"Meng Yun, I can agree to your request, but you need to be responsible for the school, for the school."
The Dean rested his chin on his hands: "So, I need you to pass a small test..."
Looking at the universe at the Dean's fingertips, Meng Yun nodded slightly.
Arcane Star, he wasn't afraid.
The Ancient Relics Research Institute is a high-spec research institute located within 654 University, specializing in the detection and identification of ancient relics excavated from various historical fault lines.
At this moment, two researchers were arguing fiercely, while the others watched the show.
"Dark Arcane, Dark Arcane must exist!"
"Impossible, the Arcane Association has no such record!"
"Then how do you explain this stone tablet?!"
The two young men simultaneously looked at the mottled stone tablet in the center.
On the left side of the tablet, there was a man with a jetpack on his back, with a cluster of flames dancing in his hand.
On the right, there were four people, either standing or lying, and flames were burning upwards from their bodies.
As if to emphasize, all the flames were painted in apaint black color.
If it weren't for the faded pigment, then this kind of Arcane would be an unprecedented blind spot of knowledge.
"It's, it's just ordinary Flame Arcane..." One researcher was unwilling, flicking his finger, and a cluster of golden flames danced in his hand.
"Flame Arcane? Alright, then complete the spell formula below for me!"
The other researcher pushed up his glasses: "Do you think I don't know Flame Arcane?"
"Alright Chen, don't make it difficult for Liu."
"Exactly, exactly, even Professor Xu could only restore half of this spell formula..."
Just as everyone was about to start chattering, the research lab door was pushed open.
It was Meng Yun, Nangong Jing, and the Dean.
Researcher Liu looked anxious, and glared at Meng Yun at the forefront: "Kid, get out, this isn't where you should be!"
On the other hand, Chen, who wore glasses, looked at the Dean with confusion, and then spoke: "Welcome, three, what can we do for you? We are currently..."
The Dean smiled and waved his hand: "I've brought you a helper, maybe he can provide some inspiration to everyone."
"Him? Is he even twenty?"
"This guy is so handsome, he must not have any real skills!"
After going through the Golden Core and Nascent Soul marrow cleansing, although Meng Yun wasn't transcendent, he had truly transformed.
His overall appearance and temperament were no longer what they used to be.
"You? A helper?"
Researcher Liu was in a state of agitation and directly mocked Meng Yun.
What, some kid who popped out of nowhere wants to come to the research institute and get a piece of the pie?
Has he even been through historical fault lines, and a helper at that!
Even Chen, who usually had a good attitude, couldn't help but look at Meng Yun with doubt at this moment.
This kid, just by looking at it twice, dares to make such a conclusion, isn't he too arrogant and conceited!
Even Professor Xu, a renowned Arcane expert on Blue Star, after days of dedicated research, barely deduced half of the spell formula!
It's still youthful impetuousness!
It's also fortunate that Professor Xu was away on a business trip, otherwise Meng Yun would surely have gotten a scolding!
Nangong Jing's eyes were burning, anticipating Meng Yun's upcoming performance.
She had a firm premonition in her heart that Meng Yun would definitely blind them!
"Rustle ~"
A cluster of black-blue flames suddenly rose in Meng Yun's palm.
At the same time, an inexplicable fear and sense of guilt rose from the depths of everyone present.
Yes.
Facing this cluster of flames, they felt themselves filled with sin.
Unforgivable.
Only by being ignited by Hellfire and completely incinerated could their bodies and minds be cleansed and their souls purified.
Watching everyone lose control of their minds, Meng Yun gently closed his hand.
The flames instantly disappeared.
Everyone recovered their senses, gasped, and were filled with lingering fear.
"Is it okay for me to be an Arcane Class lecturer?"
Meng Yun glanced at the Dean and walked away.
Nangong Jing was the first to break free, following closely behind Meng Yun.
Everyone present exchanged solemn and fearful glances, their hearts completely shaken by Meng Yun.
Terrifying to this extent!
Chen and Liu were speechless, their minds violently shaken, falling into deep self-doubt.
It seemed they were the ones who had offended Meng Yun the most just now?
Thinking of the flames that could easily induce one to fall, the two shivered involuntarily.
This young man... no, Senior Meng, shouldn't be such a petty person, right?
With fear in their hearts, they scrambled to chase after Meng Yun in the direction he left.
