Bad news spreads far and wide.
News of Lin Long taking advantage of Liu Yuhuan quickly spread to every corner of the Sky Evolution Academy.
Not long after Liu Yuhuan returned to her boudoir, one of her best friends came to her door and asked if it was true and if she had really been taken advantage of by Linlong.
This matter immediately caused the Sky Evolution Academy to boil over. Lin Long's audacity had once again refreshed their understanding of him.
Liu Yuhuan was so angry that she even wanted to go back and teach Lin Long a lesson.
However, she suppressed the impulse in her heart in the end.
Lin Long, just you wait. In two days, I, Liu Yuhuan, will definitely make you pay! She thought viciously in her heart.
However, she was unable to put her thoughts into action because the next day, her mentor, the Dean, had already sent for her to be severely reprimanded.
He asked her, as a disciple of the academy, why didn't she set an example? Instead, she wanted to take advantage of her position to bully others and teach a new disciple a lesson.
Most importantly, this matter had been carried out in front of everyone. It was extremely bad for the academy's reputation.
Because of this, the infuriated Dean immediately locked her in confinement and ordered her to reflect on her mistakes. She was not allowed to leave the academy's Hall of Reflection until the day of her punishment.
Lin Long was the guilty party and was the first to complain!
Thinking that she was the victim, Liu Yuhuan was so angry that she wanted to cry. However, as the Dean's disciple, she could only obediently obey the Dean's orders and go into confinement.
What she didn't know was that Lin Long wasn't the guilty party and was the first to complain. Instead, after Murong Xue told Ye Zhuangya about the matter, Ye Zhuangya was afraid that Liu Yuhuan would cause trouble for Lin Long again, so she directly reported the matter to the Dean.
When the strict Dean saw that Liu Yuhuan did not care about the academy's rules, he naturally had to punish her, even though she was his disciple.
After this incident, the entire academy quieted down for a few days. Some people who originally wanted to teach Lin Long a lesson on Yang Jian's behalf gave up on their original plans when they saw that Liu Yuhuan was locked up.
Two days later, the appearance of a person caused the entire academy to boil over again.
It was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. He wore a long white embroidered robe and carried a longsword on his back. The hilt seemed to be engraved with strange runes.
He was tall and slender, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. Even though he was travel-worn, he still had an elegant and calm temperament.
He was the number one genius of the Sky Evolution Academy. He was the only disciple of the Sky Evolution Academy in over a hundred years to be able to achieve outstanding results in both cultivation and alchemy.
He was the young master of the Yang family, the number one family in Lianchuan City.
He was the disciple of the Sky Evolution Academy's most mysterious teacher, Ye Hongyi.
He was the object of reverence for most of the students in the Sky Evolution Academy.
He walked step by step up the stairs at the bottom of Heavenflow Mountain in a neither fast nor slow manner, and his graceful bearing seemed as if he'd come down from the heavens.
The disciples who saw him all bowed respectfully. "Welcome back, Senior Brother Yang Jian."
That's right, he was Yang Jian, the Yang Jian who had attracted the attention of all the disciples.
"Yes."
Yang Jian replied softly. Although his tone was not arrogant, the unseen arrogance radiating from his body made everyone feel ashamed of their inferiority.
Yang Jian did not return to his own residence. Instead, he immediately went to his mentor's courtyard.
Ye Hongyi had taught him for over ten years and unearthed the potential in his body. He would never forget Ye Hongyi's kindness. Thus, after returning to the academy, he did not go anywhere but directly went to Ye Hongyi's residence.
After entering Ye Hongyi's courtyard, Yang Jian discovered that apart from Ye Hongyi, the dean, Wei Zhanpeng, was also there.
"Greetings, dean, teacher," Yang Jian said in a very steady manner.
"You're back." A trace of a smile appeared on Ye Hongyi's face.
Ye Hongyi and Wei Zhanpeng were from the same generation, so their ages were not that different.
However, unlike Wei Zhanpeng's full head of silver hair, Ye Hongyi had a head of black hair. He looked as if he was twenty years younger than Wei Zhanpeng.
If it wasn't for the wrinkles on his face, one would not be able to tell that he was an old man.
The reason why he was called the most mysterious teacher in the Sky Evolution Academy was because his ability in alchemy seemed to be even stronger than the dean, Wei Zhanpeng. However, for some unknown reason, apart from Yang Jian, he did not accept any other disciples in the past few decades.
After seriously looking at Yang Jian a few times, they discovered that Yang Jian's entire aura had changed greatly in comparison to when he left. Ye Hongyi and Wei Zhanpeng nodded their heads in gratification.
Yang Jian was Ye Hongyi's disciple, the future of the Sky Evolution Academy. Naturally, Yang Jian's increase in strength made them feel gratified.
"Yang Jian, you've left for so long. How is your cultivation?" Wei Zhanpeng asked.
"Dean, after the arduous training outside, my strength has already reached the fifth level Martial Lord realm." Yang Jian nodded his head and said.
Fifth level Martial Lord?
Yang Jian's words caused Wei Zhanpeng and Ye Hongyi to both inhale a breath of cold air.
After all, when Yang Jian left, he had only just broken through to the first level Martial Lord realm! Who would have thought that in a short year, his strength would reach the fifth level Martial Lord realm?
No matter what sort of fortuitous encounter he had, it would be very difficult to have such an achievement. It could only be said that Yang Jian's talent dictated it.
"Then, how is your alchemy level?" Ye Hongyi hurriedly asked.
Yang Jian's cultivation speed was so fast that it made him have great expectations for Yang Jian's alchemy level.
"I have already obtained the aptitude of a fifth rank alchemist in the Southern Region Alchemist Alliance," Yang Jian replied.
"Fifth rank alchemist aptitude?"
Ye Hongyi and Wei Zhanpeng cried out involuntarily in joy.
The reason they were so excited was because it was extremely difficult to obtain a fifth rank alchemist aptitude. It could be said that in the past several hundred years in the Southern Region, there were very, very few people who could obtain the qualifications to become a fifth rank alchemist at Yang Jian's age. They could even be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Moreover, the difficulty of the Southern Region's fifth rank alchemist aptitude test was the highest in the entire Mutian Continent. It was so difficult that those who could pass the other regions' fifth rank alchemist aptitude test had at least an eighty percent chance of not passing.
"Not bad, not bad."
Ye Hongyi and Wei Zhanpeng said with incomparable excitement. The calmness they had before disappeared without a trace because of Yang Jian.
"This is all because of teacher and dean's nurturing," Yang Jian said respectfully. Then, his tone changed, "Other than that, it's also because I comprehended the insights of a fifth rank alchemist from the Edict Pavilion."
"What? You actually comprehended the insights of a fifth rank alchemist? "Hearing Yang Jian's words, Wei Zhanpeng and Ye Hongyi were both shocked.
This was because even they had only vaguely comprehended some of it in the past.
After the shock, there was joy. This way, with Yang Jian's talent, he might even be able to comprehend and completely inherit the Sky Evolution Academy's founder, Mr Pei's unique skill.
When that time comes, wouldn't the Sky Evolution Academy return to its former glory?
"Yes." Yang Jian nodded, then said confidently, "This time, I came back to comprehend the insights of a sixth rank alchemist and above."
Yang Jian was confident because he had already grasped some insights in the Edict Pavilion. With these insights, he was extremely confident that he would be able to comprehend such insights.
"Good, good, good …"
Yang Jian's confidence made Ye Hongyi and Wei Zhanpeng so excited that they became somewhat incoherent.
