"I'm not fast enough." Lu Ping sighed. His ability to listen to the soul often allowed him to perform in unexpected ways. Even experts with three connected souls would stumble in front of him. However, when faced with the four connected souls, Soul Listening had already appeared powerless several times.
It was still alright when facing Wei Zhong. At least, Soul Listening still provided him with a clear judgment. However, Lu Ping's movements were not fast enough to keep up with this speed.
Because of the Ecstasy Soul Locking's confinement, Lu Ping was able to "exploit the loopholes" to master the high-speed control of his soul power. As a result, the speed he obtained was comparable to that of cultivators with one, two, or even three connected souls. However, in the face of Wei Zhong, who had mastered the four physical and spiritual forms, and whose extraordinary ability, Lightning, could increase his speed considerably, Lu Ping's speed, which depended on the control of his soul's power, wasn't good enough.
In the face of Qin Qi and the current Guo Youdao, not to mention this speed, even his Soul Listening was clearly not enough, and there was no way for him to obtain information.
However, when Guo Youdao heard Lu Ping's regretful sigh, he shook his head and said seriously, "No, your speed is enough. It's more than enough."
"Then I …"
"Don't forget that your control of soul power will always be interrupted." Guo Youdao knew what Lu Ping was going to say and interrupted him before he could finish.
"No matter how hard you try, the existence of the interruption will always slow down the operation of your soul power. You will never be able to do it in one go. This level of attainment may be enough to face ordinary people, but against the Qin family's flowing light, the interruption will make it impossible for you to catch up to their speed. Against my Sky Stealing Suns, the interruption will make it impossible for you to know the complete changes in my soul power. "
"The Ecstasy Soul Locking's restraints on you have not been removed!" It was clearly a regretful sigh, but when Guo Youdao said it, he seemed especially excited.
"I really can't imagine what it will be like after you break free from the Ecstasy Soul Locking." The excitement came from anticipation, unparalleled anticipation.
"Surpass the Big Four?" Lu Ping said.
"Hahaha." Guo Youdao laughed heartily. This slogan was a joke to others, but he had never felt ashamed of it. He had always felt proud of it. He'd held his head high in particular at the spiritual district's Soul Counting Meeting. That was an honor that Zhenfeng College had never had since its founding. However, the level of the Soul Selection Meeting in the spiritual quadrant was still quite low! Guo Youdao thought regretfully. In the end, he said, "The Four Great Academies are where you will go next."
"Huh?" The others were puzzled.
"Because of your current situation." Guo Youdao raised his hand and pointed at them. "Do you really think that the Council and the City Lord's Mansion are easy to bully?"
"Humph." Chu Min snorted coldly. With her temper, she was never willing to bow her head. But when it came to what Guo Youdao wanted to say … She couldn't refute it. As a matter of fact, Lu Ping and the others had already discussed this issue. This was a never-ending cycle. Even if they managed to kill Wei Zhong and Qin Qi, it wouldn't change anything. They would just escalate the conflict to a higher level and draw in more factions and forces behind them. After all, they were both backed by the Xuan Army Empire. How would they resolve this? Eradicate the entire Xuan Army Empire? As staunch as Chu Min was, she didn't have such an exaggerated idea.
She understood Guo Youdao's intentions.
The Four Great Academies.
There was no one who could protect someone in a conflict like this. Only the transcendent four great academies. Once they entered the four great academies, even the powers of the Empire wouldn't hunt them down so openly. But how could it be that easy to enter the four great academies? Chu Min looked at Guo Youdao. She wanted to know his specific arrangements. But Guo Youdao still had to explain to the youths why he wanted them to enter the four great academies.
"Although some of you can rely on your families to protect you, that's up to you." Guo Youdao said. He was obviously referring to Siffin. His bloodline wasn't a secret to these people. The six most powerful individuals in the world were comparable to the four great academies. Yan Qiu Ci of the Northwest was a real deal. Even the strongest of the three great empires, the Qingfeng Empire, turned a blind eye to it. Luo City, where the Yan Family had lived for generations, became an independent kingdom of the Yan Family. Yan Qiu Ci's strength wasn't something that people like Guo Youdao could misunderstand.
But to Guo Youdao's words. Siffin acted as though he didn't hear it. Even though he knew that everyone in front of him knew about his background, he still stubbornly refused to call himself a member of the Yan Family.
Guo Youdao smiled. He knew what Siffin meant. He stood up and walked towards the depths of the crevice. In a short while, he had already turned back. In his hands were four letters. He seemed to have been prepared.
"The four great academies have always had a tradition." Guo Youdao said. "The cultivators who are recognized by the academies will have the right to recommend. Every year, they can recommend one student to the academies. The student needs to go through an assessment. If they can't reach the standard, then the student will lose the right to enter the academy. The recommender will also be permanently deprived of the right to recommend. To tell the truth, I feel that the four great academies are able to prosper for so long because of this unremarkable rule. "
"And I, in all these years, have only used it once." When Guo Youdao said this, he became indignant. "That brat, after he went to the four great academies, there was no news of him. He completely forgot my original intention of recommending him!"
"Then what is it?" Lu Ping asked.
"Of course it's an undercover to catch up to and surpass the four great academies." Guo Youdao said.
"Uncle Dean, I don't know much about you. But looking at your plan now, it's simply … a fantastic idea!" Morin, who was heavily injured, sat on the ground to rest. At this time, he couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted. He had heard the slogan of catching up to and surpassing the four great academies many times. But this was the first time he had heard of a real operation with this goal in mind. In the end, it turned out to be such a strange method of sending an undercover agent.
It was unknown whether Guo Youdao heard the sarcasm in Morin's words. In any case, he didn't pay much attention to it. However, Chu Min looked at the four letters in his hands and said, "So you haven't had the right to recommend people for many years. But now you can recommend four people at once?"
"Not really." Guo Youdao shook his head. "The right to recommend people is only valid for that year. I can recommend four people at once because I am untalented, but I have the approval of all four great academies." It was rare for Guo Youdao to show a proud face when talking about the four great academies. Usually, when he talked about the four great academies, he didn't take it seriously. It was as if he wanted to catch up to and surpass them at any time.
Lu Ping and the others suddenly thought of the Soul Point Convention. Guo Youdao, who was obviously from the Black Tortoise Academy, could easily defeat the chief examiner Ding Wen from the Southern Sky Academy.
"There's actually such a thing." Chu Min now had to believe it even if she didn't want to.
"But the problem is, there's still one letter missing." Guo Youdao said.
"You still want to send me to the four great academies?" Chu Min was disdainful. She didn't feel that she needed protection.
"Of course it's not you." Guo Youdao turned his head and called out to the depths of the stone crack, "Come out!"
