Chapter 760 - 518: Winter Break Ends, Reunion at Last
He didn’t leave Profound Sky Province; instead, he directly enrolled at the Great Xia Eight Great’s [Stellar Academy] there.
The young man seemed accustomed to it, casually waving his hand: "Alright, why did you come down the mountain? Isn’t the pile of stuff at the office keeping you busy enough?"
True Master Jing Xuan spoke: "Over at the Celestial Master’s office, indeed a major event has happened, I thought you might be interested."
As he spoke, he pointed with his fingers like a sword towards the young man.
An immense amount of spiritual power instantly crossed several meters, entering the young man’s forehead.
The young man’s body paused slightly.
He slowly sat up straight, and the eyes hidden behind the sunglasses suddenly showed a brilliant glow of true intent.
The previously bored expression vanished instantly, replaced by extreme interest.
"Lin Guang, only eighteen this year."
Even though he had seen it earlier, Daoist Qing Xuan still couldn’t help but praise, "Such an age, to make such a breakthrough in basic theory. Truly the youth is formidable!"
"He’s a versatile genius just like you, Master Uncle."
Zhang Wuji chuckled lightly at the words.
He took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of blue eyes, as blue as the entire sky.
As he spoke, he played with the priceless wooden carving in his hand, "Many of the people in the office probably don’t think that way, right?"
"The most advanced place for Great Xia Spirit Rune Array has always been Profound Sky Province."
"They must be saying..."
Zhang Wuji mimicked the tone of a certain stubborn old person vividly.
"Hmph! Such a structure is merely the luck of that young kid...am I right?"
Daoist Qing Xuan could only smile bitterly at the words.
Because his speculation was entirely correct.
"Their meaning is, our entire Celestial Master’s office with thousands of array miracle masters, and all the researchers in Profound Sky Province, years of dedicated research, was only defeated by a young man’s luck? That’s too dull."
Zhang Wuji raised his hand.
The complex Spirit Rune Array started to form using spiritual power and true intent in his palm at a rapid speed.
The ether flowed within, showing a natural and stable state, illuminating his face.
"This is the apocalypse for the spirit-leaden, just like a complex problem that, in a genius’s eyes, ultimately becomes a simple formula."
"The great Dao is simple, but not simplistic."
"I didn’t expect among my peers, aside from me, there’s someone else so loved by the world... truly interesting."
He stood up, stretched, tossed the wooden carving back onto the piece of green cloth on the stall, then packed up the entire stall.
"Alright, heading back to Jade Capital."
"There’s only two days until school starts; pack up your luggage and prepare to leave."
...
End of February.
999th floor of the Sky Arena.
Vast Sea Secret Realm, Longteng University.
Early morning.
In a dedicated lab tower of the equipment department, located in the center of the sea continent and secret realm, a terrifying ethereal fluctuation suddenly erupted along with shrill alarm sounds.
[Warning! Severe overload in Spirit Rune Array circuit in third laboratory of Tower #2!]
Just a few seconds later, streams of light orderly flew out from the tower — they were researchers from the equipment department swiftly summoning their Spirit Beasts, flying alongside them.
The expressions on their faces showed no surprise, as if a small matter had occurred; except for some who seemed annoyed to have had their research interrupted, they appeared to be free from any panic.
Yet the center of that tower began to emit a terrifying aura, becoming more intense within half a minute.
Then...
The tower was engulfed in dazzling green brilliance, obscuring the sight of its interior.
Fortunately, the protection array based on Gathering Spirit Rock tightly enclosed and absorbed the eruption within the tower, leaving only minor aftershocks spreading out with a loud noise.
Boom——
But even just the aftershocks produced terrifying green flames that shot skyward like sharp swords, the surrounding ground slightly lifted, the explosion causing vibrations spreading, slightly shaking the entire core teaching area, even disturbing many giant beasts residing in the Forest of Serenity.
The next moment, everyone who could see, hear this phenomenon, or perceive ethereal fluctuations instinctively opened Longteng University’s forum.
Sure enough, before anyone could post, the administrator had opened a dedicated discussion thread for this incident at a speed seemingly surpassing time.
—[Discussion thread for the new material performance experiment accident in the third laboratory of Tower #2]
Already, teachers, students, staff, and alumni couldn’t help but speak up enthusiastically.
[Snatch the floor]
[Every time these trench guys start something big just a few days after school starts, I’m already used to it]
[Damn equipment department really pisses me off, interrupted my experiment, relying on all buildings on the 999th floor being self-repairing, causing havoc without considering safety. Really, if a few get blown up, they’ll calm down]
[Ha, clearly you’re not from our equipment department, joining the equipment department’s first class to familiarize yourself with the safety passage, get it]
[I’m from the research division, better not to be so adept at using the safety passage in my lifetime, thank you]
[I’ve graduated for twenty years, has the nature of the equipment department never changed since then? As you guys post, seems like every time school starts, they always set off fireworks]
