The central college's seclusion forest was much larger than the forests of the four branches combined, and the area where Xing Jue killed Wan Duan was in the depths of the stone forest.
Therefore, no one knew that Wan Duan was killed by Xing Jue. Furthermore, the battle between the two of them did not leave any traces.
After killing Wan Duan, Xing Jue did not really cultivate in the stone forest, but returned to his palace.
The palaces of the central college's disciples all had seclusion rooms, and after preparing sufficient food, Xing Jue began his seclusion.
Of course, Xing Jue's seclusion did not really take place in this small seclusion room, but after sealing the room, he entered his Soul Devouring Token.
At this moment, Xing Jue was in the Soul Devouring Token, standing upright on the clouds with his eyes tightly shut. No matter how the wind blew against his robe, he did not move.
Although Xing Jue looked calm on the surface, there were earth-shattering changes going on in his body, and one could even hear the roars of wolves and tigers.
The dark black soul, at times like a galloping dragon horse, at times like a surging army, shuttled back and forth in Xing Jue's body. What Xing Jue was doing was very simple, training.
He trained himself to condense his soul power and execute the Limitless Palm Technique. Because his body was not strong enough, Xing Jue could only condense his soul skill as fast as possible.
In other words, he executed the Limitless Palm Technique in an instant. This way, he could avoid failing because his body was not strong enough.
Although using such an extreme method to execute the Limitless Palm Technique would put a burden on his body, at least he could successfully execute it.
This kind of training, from the start, took a total of ten days.
During these ten days, apart from his daily cultivation, Xing Jue had been carrying out this kind of training. Only when he received a communication talisman did he hurriedly walk out of the closed-door training room.
At this moment, in the hall of Xing Jue's mansion, there was a visitor, and the communication amulet Xing Jue received was sent by her.
"Shi 'shi, did you really enter the central college?"
When Xing Jue hurried into the hall and saw who it was, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face. This was because this guest was Lin Shishi.
At this moment, on Lin Shishi's chest, there was a badge of the Central College. She had actually become a disciple of the Central College.
"Are you surprised?" Lin Shishi's eyes narrowed and a charming smile bloomed on her face.
"Of course, the Central College's assessment has already ended. I'm naturally very surprised that you've entered the Central College at this time!" Xing Jue replied with a smile.
"Others might not know, but don't you know? Given my status, I can enter the Central College at any time and any place. Those elders can't wait for me to accept their training. "Lin Shishi smiled faintly, but there was a hint of helplessness in her smile.
"Why? Have you thought it through? "
Xing Jue and Lin Shishi had been alone in the Reincarnation Hell for nearly eight months. During these eight months, they had talked about everything, and Xing Jue had also understood a lot about Lin Shishi.
In fact, deep down, Lin Shishi didn't really hate her father, especially when she found out that although her father had married the daughter of the previous Sect Leader of the Everlasting Academy, he had never had any relations with her.
That was the reason why her father only had a single daughter and no other children. The reason why her father did such a thing was enough to show that he only had her mother in his heart. Marrying the Headmaster's daughter was all for the sake of the Headmaster's succession.
As for Lin Shishi, she had always been unwilling to accept the training of the Everlasting Academy because of her innate talent. Since young, her talent for cultivation was not strong. If it wasn't for the Body-Refining Essence, she wouldn't have the strength she had today.
She was afraid. She was afraid that if she accepted the training of the Everlasting Academy, she would embarrass her father if people found out that she was the daughter of the Sect Leader but had such a weak talent for cultivation.
After learning about Lin Shishi's thoughts, Xing Jue had tried to persuade her countless times, because Xing Jue felt that this wasn't a reason for her to reject her father's kindness.
If she really didn't hate her father anymore, then she shouldn't distance herself from him. Instead, she should accept him boldly. Moreover, which parent in the world would think that their children would embarrass them?!
"Yes, when my father comes out of seclusion, I will reunite with him!"
"But Xing Jue, it's all thanks to you that I was able to think it through. I really have to thank you." Lin Shishi smiled sweetly, but her face was full of gratitude.
"Really, you didn't call me out in such a hurry just to thank me, did you?" Xing Jue replied jokingly.
"Of course not, I called you out this time because I have something to tell you." Lin Shishi's expression suddenly became serious.
"What is it?" Seeing this, Xing Jue also stopped smiling.
"Wan Duan is dead, and it's been ten days. The Elders have been looking for the murderer, but they haven't found him."
"Right now, all the great elders of the Elders have come out in full force to search for the cause of Wan Duan's death." Lin Shishi said.
"They found out so quickly?" Hearing Lin Shishi's words, Xing Jue couldn't help but be shocked.
This meant that the Everlasting Academy already knew about his death the day he killed Wan Duan. Moreover, Xing Jue didn't expect that the Everlasting Academy would mobilize so many people just because of Wan Duan's death.
"What? Are you surprised? Or perhaps you have a guilty conscience? " Seeing Xing Jue's expression change, Lin Shishi went over and spoke in a low voice. Moreover, there was even a faint evil smile on her face.
"Don't be stupid. How could I possibly kill Wan Duan? No one would believe me even if I told them."
"Stop pretending. Others don't understand you, but do you think I don't? With the Hellfire Talisman in your hand, it wouldn't be hard for you to kill anyone in the Everlasting Academy. "Lin Shishi seemed to have already confirmed that the murderer was Xing Jue.
"Okay, I really can't hide anything from you. Then tell me, why did the Elders find out about Wan Duan's death so quickly?" Facing Lin Shishi, Xing Jue really didn't have anything to hide, so he straightforwardly told her.
"You probably don't know about this. The disciples on the Power Ranking are the lifeblood of the Everlasting Academy. They are the future headmaster of the Everlasting Academy and the successors of the manager elders. They have extremely important meaning to the Everlasting Academy."
"So, the importance that the Everlasting Academy places on the disciples on the Power Ranking is far from what normal disciples can compare to. In order to prevent any accidents from happening to the disciples on the Power Ranking, the Everlasting Academy even made Life Talismans for the disciples who aren't on the Power Ranking."
"The Life Talismans are connected to the source of a person's soul. If the soul is destroyed, the Life Talisman will shatter. Conversely, if the Life Talisman shatters, the owner of the Life Talisman will definitely be dead."
"Those Life Talismans are in the hands of the four elders of the Everlasting Academy. So, when you killed Wan Duan, the Elders already knew."
"However, other than you, me, and the Elders, there aren't many people who know about this because it's temporarily kept a secret." Lin Shishi spoke in detail, and at that instant, Xing Jue finally came to a realization as he listened and nodded his head.
"However, the reason why I came to find you today isn't to tell you about this. It's to tell you about another thing." Suddenly, Lin Shishi purposefully mystified and said.
"What is it?"
Although Wan Duan's death had already been exposed, Xing Jue wasn't worried about himself at all when he saw Lin Shishi's relaxed appearance.
First, he believed that it would be difficult for the Elders to find out that he was the culprit. Secondly, Elder Ouyang had personally said that even if he really killed Wan Duan, the Elders would turn a blind eye to it.
"Wan Duan is dead, so there is an empty spot on the Power Ranking. The Elders have just decided that one month later, Wan Duan's death will be announced to everyone."
"At the same time, a disciple from the Central Court will be chosen to replace Wan Duan's position."
"And the reason I came to tell you about this is so that you can prepare. One month later, prepare to compete for the position of a disciple on the Power Ranking." Lin Shishi said with anticipation.
"Don't joke around. The powerhouses of the Central Court are as numerous as the clouds. What do I have to compete with them? I can't just throw a Hell Fire Talisman at them in front of the four Elders, right?"
"That Hell Fire Talisman will kill whoever I throw it. If I were to kill people so recklessly, the Elders would skin me alive!" Xing Jue shook his head helplessly.
Actually, Xing Jue was also very interested in the position of a disciple on the Power Ranking. After all, only by becoming a disciple on the Power Ranking would he be able to gain the respect of the other disciples. However, when he thought about his current strength, it was best not to get involved in this mess.
"Among the Central Court disciples, there are only two people who have reached high level Asura Martial Master. One is Fang Lianyi and the other is Yao Di."
"Do you think I am not clear about your strength? As long as you become a middle level Asura Martial Master, in the Central Court, other than Fang Lianyi and Yao Di, no one will be able to fight against you. "
"Isn't it a piece of cake for you to obtain the 10th position on the Power Ranking? This is a chance to show off your strength. You cannot miss it. "Seeing that Xing Jue wanted to retreat, Lin Shishi actually became excited.
"It's just that …" Xing Jue wanted to explain, but he swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
"There's no but. I know what you are worried about. Here, take this and use it!"
However, what Xing Jue did not expect was that Lin Shishi actually placed an exquisite jade bottle on the tea table. Furthermore, it was actually a Rank 4 Body Refining Essence.
"Shishi, I can't take this. This is too important to you!" Seeing this, Xing Jue could not help but be startled. However, he quickly rejected it.
At this moment, Xing Jue was both moved and helpless. He did not expect that Lin Shishi had already calculated that he had used up all of his Body Refining Essence. Furthermore, he had calculated that if he used this Body Refining Essence, he would be able to break through to the high level Martial Master level within a month.
However, this Body Refining Essence was something that Lin Shishi's mother had left for her. Xing Jue had already shamelessly swallowed half of it. If he were to take the other half, it would be too heavy. This was something that Lin Shishi's mother had exchanged her life for.
"Just take it."
"I know what you are worried about. This Rank 4 Body Refining Essence is too unyielding. Before I become a high level Asura Warrior, I can't use it. It would be a waste to leave it with me."
"Furthermore, there is still time. When I become a high level Asura Warrior, I might even be able to find a Rank 4 Immortal Herb. At that time, you can just help me catch it. After all, refining medicine is very easy for me." Lin Shishi actually forcefully stuffed the Face Refining Essence into Xing Jue's hands.
"But …"
"There are no buts. If it wasn't for you, I would have died a long time ago. How would I be able to cultivate?"
"Just accept it. Treat it as me repaying my debt of gratitude. Otherwise, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. You don't want me to live like this for the rest of my life, right?"
Lin Shishi smiled sweetly. Her words made it even harder for Xing Jue to reject her. This caused Xing Jue's face to be filled with helplessness. He could only keep it in his pocket.
