94: Chapter 94 The Prodigy of the Martial Academy Returns
They rested for a night in Yongle City.
Early the next morning, the people from Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy set off to return.
Several Instructors of the academy had already noticed something was wrong.
Since yesterday's Talent Gathering, the level of attention on Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy had become somewhat too high.
Last night, many forces were inquiring about news regarding Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.
Of course, the reason for inquiring about the academy's news was naturally because of Li Yuan.
This young man who had suddenly become famous had defeated Bai Zhaowei and forced Yan Chenzhou into an extremely embarrassing position.
Such a young man would definitely occupy a place in Da Shun in the future.
Various forces had to consider this influence in advance.
Of course, the biggest issue was still the current one.
Since Li Yuan had offended the Yan Family like this, the Yan Family needed to provide a response and resolve the matter.
Breaking promises and going back on one's word.
This was no small matter; if the Yan Family got stuck with such a bad reputation, they would face a lot of trouble in the future.
In future disputes over interests, various forces would bring this matter up.
Every side would demand the Yan Family provide guarantees first, to prevent them from breaking their promises again in the future.
Building trust takes years, but ruining a reputation takes only a moment.
Taking this opportunity, various forces all wanted to snatch some interests from the Yan Family's mouth.
Understanding Li Yuan's situation was also a way to judge how much profit could be seized from the Yan Family.
Several Instructors led everyone back early, also fearing that a major disturbance might occur.
They were worried that someone might take this opportunity to act against Li Yuan.
Having just performed excellently in the Talent Gathering, if Li Yuan were to be injured or lost, the Instructors would never forgive themselves.
On the way back, the group barely rested, hurrying back as quickly as possible.
After returning to the academy, several Instructors immediately went to report the situation of the Tian-grade Talent Conference to the Dean.
Recently in the academy, the most discussed issue was Yin He.
After this Instructor had been missing for quite some time, some traces were finally discovered.
On the outskirts of the academy, fragments of the clothes he had previously worn were found.
The body could no longer be found.
With countless wild beasts in the jungle, dying outside made it hard to leave an intact corpse.
From the Dean down to the Disciples, everyone was discussing this issue.
Is Yin He dead, how did he die, and who did it?
These few questions caused a huge stir within the academy, with discussions everywhere.
But today, as news of Li Yuan's performance at the Tian-grade Talent Conference spread, the topic of conversation throughout the academy changed instantly.
At the Tian-grade Talent Conference, an academy Disciple performed excellently and defeated other Prodigies.
These words sounded unfamiliar to the people of the academy.
Subconsciously, they all thought it was fake news from somewhere.
Once everyone confirmed these circumstances were true, they couldn't help but feel excited.
Upon hearing this, Dean Guo also followed up with several questions.
Seeing the looks from the several Instructors, he repeatedly praised it as excellent.
"Go and ask Li Yuan what kind of reward he wants.
As long as the academy has the ability to get it, we will definitely do our best to obtain it for him.
Also, let that child Li Yuan rest assured.
The academy will not stand by and ignore the conflict with the Yan Family.
If the Yan Family dares to come looking for trouble, the academy will certainly do its utmost to stop them!"
Dean Guo's words made these Instructors quite excited.
For now, it seemed that Li Yuan didn't have any powerful backing.
The City Lords Mansion of Yingyang Pass, which recommended Li Yuan to the academy, didn't care about him at all.
They didn't care in the least about Li Yuan's performance in the Zhai Tian Terrace last time.
The letter sent only received a few polite formalities in response.
If there was no support from a major power behind him, then Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy would become that major power.
That night, several Instructors conveyed the Dean's intentions to Li Yuan.
Whatever he needed, he could just say it directly.
The academy would do its best to satisfy him.
Hearing this, Li Yuan was not reserved either.
He directly voiced his request.
He wanted to learn about the Secret Realms under Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy that he hadn't visited yet.
After a careful understanding, he wanted to pick three to enter for training.
When Li Yuan's request was made, the Instructors, who had been looking nervous, showed a helpless smile.
Seeing how serious Li Yuan spoke, they thought he was going to make some especially excessive demand.
In the end, it was just this...
Almost without hesitation, the several Instructors agreed on behalf of the Dean.
They also told Li Yuan to think more and see if there was anything else he needed.
No need to worry about the academy being unable to provide it.
If they truly couldn't, the academy would refuse.
But for Li Yuan, there truly wasn't much the academy could give him right now.
Ordinary resources and Medicinal Pills really didn't mean much to him.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan asked if he could have a handy weapon.
Currently, the opponents Li Yuan often faced were of relatively average strength.
Even that Ninth-Grade Grand Preceptor of the Jin Kingdom was of inferior strength among Ninth-Grade Supremes.
In front of such opponents, the improvement brought by a weapon was actually quite small.
But if he were to face a Ninth Grade Great Perfection opponent, or even more than one.
Then, at such a time, the value of divine Sharp Weapons would become apparent.
In addition, there was another very important point.
When he fought the Grand Preceptor of the Jin Kingdom before, neither side had fought for their lives.
When it came to life-and-death situations, the explosive power of Ninth-Grade Supremes would be different.
They wouldn't hide those treasures in their hands anymore.
To deal with these situations, Li Yuan still had to maintain some awe and could not be conceited or arrogant.
To win relatively safely in such circumstances, a fine weapon was essential.
Upon hearing this, the Instructors told Li Yuan to wait for a few days.
They would go and ask the Dean; if there was something suitable, they would immediately let Li Yuan choose.
Top-tier weapons were not so easy to obtain.
Given Li Yuan's current performance, ordinary weapons probably wouldn't be a good match for him.
It wouldn't be easy to get a handy divine weapon.
In the following days, Li Yuan spent more time quieting his heart to cultivate and prepare.
His extra energy was all intended for training in the Secret Realms.
After every instance of Corpse-looting, he needed to expend energy to digest those gains.
On the sixth day after the World Talents Convention ended, various forces should have heard about what happened at the convention.
Among the younger generation, another top-tier Prodigy had appeared.
Everyone would pay attention to such news.
Young people represent the future and the future landscape.
A Family having a Prodigy junior might have a relatively minor impact on the current situation.
But as time progressed, the benefits brought by a Prodigy junior would become more and more numerous.
For example, the Bai Family where Bai Zhaowei belonged; their current strength and foundation were truly average.
But the Bai Family's status far exceeded forces like Qianqiu Mountain.
Everyone saw Bai Zhaowei and saw the Bai Family's potential in the future.
As long as the younger generation performed excellently, they would naturally be noticed and valued by various forces.
This time, Li Yuan had burst onto the scene, and the level of discussion would only be higher.
