110: I like metal-type professionals.

The sun was shining brightly; today was a rare good day for weather.

For the residents living in Pengcheng, today was no different from usual.

The investigation plan proceeded smoothly. Fu Jingjie, who was overseeing the situation from the City Hall, received good news.

“Elder Fu, we caught an Ancient Professional, and he's alive!”

Hearing his subordinate's report, Fu Jingjie's hands itched with anticipation.

Good news followed quickly; they caught five Ancient Professionals in just two hours.

The Alliance Leader had given Fu Jingjie two days to thoroughly investigate Pengcheng, but Fu Jingjie completed it in half a day!

The activated Defensive Array was canceled.

“Time to get to work!”

Night fell.

Fu Jingjie arrived at the Pengcheng Prison, took off his white gloves, and smiled as he looked at the eight Ancient Professionals.

“Lads, these are the guys who made us work overtime,” Fu Jingjie said.

The Wind-Splitting Alliance members, who had spent the day monitoring various areas of Pengcheng to prevent incidents, were now rolling up their sleeves.

They were exhausted, but now they were also furious!

...Dawn broke, and everything came back to life.

Pengcheng University was bustling with activity. Lu Yuan looked at the people outside the window.

He noticed students wearing not only Pengcheng University uniforms but also those from Imperial Capital, Magic City, and Shencheng Universities.

What was going on?

Lu Yuan walked into the living room.

“It's great to be young, Teacher. Back when I was at Pengcheng University, I was quite the looker. I had at least a whole company's worth of junior and senior sisters writing me love letters.”

Fu Jingjie's eyes were bloodshot; clearly, he hadn't slept all night. He was wolfing down his breakfast.

“Senior Fu, are the love letters you mentioned like these?” Lu Yuan opened the cabinet near the villa entrance.

Crash—

It was full of love letters!

There were also Paper Cranes, hand-folded Little Stars, and various popular confession toys.

These were all gifts from the senior sisters at Pengcheng University, which Lu Yuan had casually stored in the cabinet.

Sometimes he received hundreds of letters in a single day!

Fu Jingjie's mouth twitched as he looked at the mountain of love letters.

“That many?”

“Junior Brother Lu Yuan is definitely comparable to me back in the day!”

Fu Jingjie first praised Lu Yuan, then didn't forget to praise himself.

“Right, Teacher?” Fu Jingjie looked at Tang Jinghui, trying to get him to confirm.

“Wasn't that when you were heartbroken, crying your eyes out, and swearing off that damn love?”

Tang Jinghui was drinking his porridge while reading the news.

Fu Jingjie: “...”

“Why are there so many students from other schools outside?” Lu Yuan smiled, not letting Fu Jingjie remain embarrassed.

“These two days are the Five Great Top Academies Exchange Days.”

Fu Jingjie burped contentedly and explained.

He was in a great mood.

After a night of interrogation, all the Ancient Professionals confessed!

They were acting under the orders of someone named Eunuch E, secretly infiltrating the Five Great Super First-Tier Cities to assassinate Huaxia Geniuses.

Although the matter hadn't been completely resolved, at least there wouldn't be any more assassinations going forward.

“Another dead eunuch?” Lu Yuan said.

“This dead eunuch holds a noble position in the Great Shun Dynasty; he is the Imperial Seal Holder.”

Fu Jingjie yawned.

After finishing the meal, he prepared to crash in a room and catch some sleep.

Lu Yuan said he was welcome; the villa had plenty of empty rooms.

“Yesterday, Xing Wenan's wife, Yin Yirong, was arrested by the Censorate. Yin Yirong confessed, but she only admitted that she acted alone.” Tang Jinghui slowly ate his pickled vegetables.

Lu Yuan wasn't surprised.

Xing Wenan wouldn't do something so stupid; it was his wife who was a bit too naive.

“When you have time, go visit the other top academies and experience their Special Cultivation Grounds.” Tang Jinghui didn't dwell on the Prosperous matter and instead brought up the Exchange Day.

Every year, the Five Great Top Academies hold an Exchange Day lasting one week.

During the Exchange Day, all of the schools' Special Cultivation Grounds are open for free, and students with ID cards can experience them freely.

Hearing Tang Jinghui's words, Lu Yuan thought that he hadn't even finished experiencing Pengcheng University's special facilities yet, so how could he have time for other universities?

However, the Teacher did remind him that he needed to make a trip to Imperial Capital University.

Not to experience Imperial Capital University's Special Cultivation Grounds, but because he promised his Older Sister he would accompany her to eat imperial capital roast duck.

After buying a Teleportation Array ticket from Pengcheng to the Imperial Capital, Lu Yuan finished his breakfast and arrived at the High-speed Rail Station just in time.

Nine in the morning, inside Imperial Capital University.

“Welcome everyone to Imperial Capital University! Although those who applied to the other four top academies have strayed onto the wrong path, you can recommend that your talented friends and relatives apply here.”

Hearing the announcement over the loudspeaker, Lu Yuan was speechless.

Good heavens, they even used the phrase “strayed onto the wrong path.”

Still, among the Five Great Top Academies, Imperial Capital University was indeed recognized as the most outstanding and the best.

He sent Lu Yeli a message saying, [“Your Lordship has arrived; come greet me quickly”], and then took photos of the prominent surrounding buildings and sent them to her.

After receiving an emoji reply that meant “Got it,” Lu Yuan waited patiently.

“Lu Yuan, why are you standing here instead of going to the Back Mountain?”

Jiang Tianxia spotted Lu Yuan in the crowd instantly and walked up to him.

Imperial Capital University's Special Cultivation Grounds were located on the Back Mountain. The cultivation grounds of the Five Great Top Academies were all unique and distinct.

When the Exchange Day began, students generally flocked there.

“Waiting for someone.” Lu Yuan replied concisely.

“A girl?”

Jiang Tianxia's eyes lit up.

“Is she pretty? What's her figure like? Mountains or plains?” Jiang Tianxia kept pressing.

Lu Yuan: “...”

“She's not a handsome guy, so why are you so excited?” Lu Yuan asked.

“I'm excited precisely because she's not a handsome guy!”

Jiang Tianxia took it for granted.

“You...” Lu Yuan seemed to have discovered some incredible secret.

“Don't overthink it, I'm not sure yet.”

“That sentence makes me think even more,” Lu Yuan said, sizing up Jiang Tianxia.

The students visiting Imperial Capital University were everywhere. Some went to the cafeteria to see whose school food was worse—theirs or Imperial Capital University's.

Some went to tour the teaching buildings, but most ran off to the Back Mountain.

While waiting for his Older Sister, Lu Yuan felt like someone was missing.

“Huh, where is... where is that person?”

Jiang Tianxia couldn't remember.

“Right, where is Han Junchen? Doesn't he love making a fool of himself? Today is the perfect day for it,” Jiang Tianxia said.

Lu Yuan shook his head, indicating he didn't know where Han Junchen was... “Help!”

“Someone save me~”

Deep underground, where the bottom could not be seen, stood a magnificent Palace.

In an antique room, Han Junchen was lying on a bed, his hands and feet securely tied.

“Darling, I'm here. How many rounds are we playing today?”

A woman wearing Palace Robes walked in, holding a leather whip and a candle.

“I'm empty! I really don't have a drop left.” Han Junchen wanted to cry but couldn't shed tears.

The woman was very beautiful and had a good figure, but in Han Junchen's eyes, she was like a malevolent spirit.

“Farming is fine, but you can't farm like this!”

Han Junchen said.

“I just love that expression on your face. The more you look like that, the more excited I get.” The woman took off her Palace Robes and tightly gripped the whip in her hand.

“Wait a minute!”

Han Junchen tried to stop her.

“I know someone named Lu Yuan. He's even fiercer than me! How about you let me go find him?”

“If Lu Yuan doesn't work, there's also Chu Wushe. He's a Four-Attribute Practitioner, and one of them is the Earth Attribute—you know what I mean by Earth Attribute, right!”

“I just like the Gold Attribute.” The woman shook her head and raised the leather whip.

Crack, crack, crack—

“Help!” Han Junchen frantically shook the Bracelet he was wearing.

Imperial Capital University.

“Lu Yuan, your Necklace is glowing!”

Jiang Tianxia said.

Nirvanic Extinction is glowing?

Lu Yuan took off Nirvanic Extinction. The four lifelike Fierce Beasts carved on it emitted a dazzling light!
