As the top academy of Xia, the study load for Shenxiao students is quite heavy.
Normally, they either grind through dungeons or collect credits, with hardly any spare time to do other things. Even visiting home is quite a luxury.
However, the return of Lin Yi, the hands-off director, has garnered significant attention, with even those occupied with tasks temporarily putting them aside.
Meeting Lin Yi would be a dream come true for many Shenxiao students, and the teachers of Shenxiao have no objections to this.
Here at the entrance of Shenxiaoâs teleportation device, students have gathered in droves to welcome Lin Yi, with each hoping to leave a lasting impression on him.
But this scene gave Zhang Yun, who just arrived, quite a shock.
Xiang Wuxing doesnât have kaleidoscope-like mood props.
When the teleportation deviceâs door opened, and various props shot toward her, Zhang Yun instinctively activated her Source Power to fend off the unexpected assault.
A brief awkwardness of little importance ensued. To ease Zhang Yunâs stay at Shenxiao, Lin Yi and Wanchong Mountain introduced the young girl by his side, highlighting her mastery of the Dubhe Strange Scripture.
Upon hearing that even Lin Yi found Zhang Yunâs technique particularly challenging to master, Shenxiaoâs students were all wide-eyed with interest.
Such an incredible technique it must be!
For a while, the teachers and students of Shenxiao were praising Zhang Yunâs prowess, making her somewhat embarrassed.
The humble and courteous Shenxiao students, together with their heartfelt enthusiasm, deeply moved Zhang Yun, who was far from home.
Usually busy enhancing their own skills, Shenxiao students were very eager, upon learning about the addition of an artificial mountain peak serving as the Dubhe Pavilion, to bring various supplies and help set up the Dubhe Pavilion.
The following day.
Shenxiao, Chiyou Academy, Divine Refining Bureau.
The constant clanging of strikes echoed without pause.
Due to years of smelting various metals, the temperature here is significantly higher than in other parts of Shenxiao.
Almost every department within Shenxiao Academy has both male and female members, except for the Divine Refining Bureau, which hosts no women at all.
Inside, strong men worked with bare chests, energetically forging equipment.
The most esteemed in the Divine Refining Bureau is Sun Dachuan.
Before meeting Lin Yi, he was already renowned throughout Shenxiao for his exquisite forging skills.
As Lin Yiâs regular teammate, the resources he acquired grew more abundant, further enhancing his growth during their alliance.
Now, he has truly become the person in charge at the Divine Refining Bureau.
"Brother Dachuan, check this for me, is it heated enough? If not, Iâll hammer it a few more times."
"Brother Dachuan, give it a look. Why do I feel the more I hammer, the more eerie it gets?"
"Brother Dachuan. ........"
Such a lively scenario is quite rare in Shenxiao.
Once inside Shenxiao, the top academy of Xia, the pressure is immense.
No other way, for everyone at the academy is a genius, quietly honing their skills. Even classmates who usually get along well donât have much contact after completing tasks.
Such an atmospheric scene is something even Headmaster Laomao has never seen before.
Sometimes, even Laomao thinks that even in a higher education institution, there should be more human warmth.
But no matter what, even with the threat from other nations on Blue Star gone, other planets still cast envious eyes on Blue Star.
"D-D-Dachuan, someone is looking for you."
Earlier, the little servant who led Lin Yi dashed into the forge in a hurry, interrupting Sun Dachuan whilst he was explaining forging techniques to a Divine Refining Bureau member.
Sun Dachuan felt quite speechless about it.
This little guy has been mixing within the Divine Refining Bureau for years but still acts so impulsively when handling matters?
"Why rush? This is the Divine Refining Bureau, our own turf. No need to be so rash. No matter who it is, tell them if itâs about forging or enhancing equipment, wait outside patiently. Iâll find them once Iâm done with my tasks."
Just as Sun Dachuanâs words fell, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before him, with a levitating cat beside him.
"Brother Dachuan, what, long-time-no-see, youâre already this unwelcoming? Are you blaming me for not teaming up with you to grind dungeons?
Lin Yi laughed warmly as he spoke to Sun Dachuan.
Last nightâs gathering saw Lin Yi busy explaining the might of other dimensional planets to the people of Shenxiao, laying the groundwork for the Spirit Awakening Stone.
No choice, the quantity of Spirit Awakening Stones is limited.
Even Shenxiaoâs own students canât be allowed to use the Inner Court before theyâve become War Gods.
Many more professionals than them need skill level enhancement.
Hence, Lin Yi could only discuss with Wanchong Mountain to formulate a rule where special credits could be accumulated to use the Spirit Awakening Stones earlier.
Seeing Lin Yi so occupied back then, Sun Dachuan, Nangong Ling, and Feng Sanyou refrained from approaching him proactively.
Facing him now, Sun Dachuan felt somewhat embarrassed.
"No, no, Brother Lin Yi, no, Mr. Lin! Quickly, come in!"
"How could I hold any grudges against you? Come in, ah, apologies, Headmaster, nearly forgot about you, please come in as well."
Wanchong Mountain: Goodness, in this Shenxiao academy, being the headmaster isnât the ultimate authority, Iâm just redundant, Iâm redundant.
With Lin Yiâs presence, the Divine Refining Bureauâs members quickly stopped their work, respectfully making way for Lin Yi.
This time going to Xiang Wuxing wasnât just about acquiring the Dubhe Strange Scripture and Spirit Awakening Stones alone.
When the Martial Emperor allowed Lin Yi to grab items from the treasure vault, he didnât hold back.
Xiang Wuxingâs cultivation differs from Blue Star, but certain materials, like superior Spirit Crystal ores, are produced there as well.
Lin Yi gathered a large number of superior Spirit Crystal ores, intending for his good brother to fight a lavish battle.
"Brothers of the Divine Refining Bureau, are you all troubled by how to earn military merit points to advance further? I, Lin Yi, have found a way to gain connections and resources without risking your lives. I wonder if any of you are interested?"
Who in Blue Star doesnât know of Lin Yiâs entourage, filled with comforts and vibrant experiences?
If Lin Yi says itâs a good way, then it must be a good way? Itâs a heavenly gift, rather!
Upon hearing this, the brothers of the Divine Refining Bureau were all wide-eyed with interest.
"Hey, you rascal, why donât you just tell the whole story?"
Laomao expressed slight anger, glancing at Lin Yi.
"Hey, Headmaster, where are your words? If I had spoken everything at once, wouldnât it leave nothing for the Headmaster? Hey hey, now, letâs invite our most beloved headmaster who cares deeply for students to say a few words, applause please!"
Despite being reluctant, amidst the applause, Laomao could only speak with a stern face.
