"Dean Hai?" Li Yuan felt a slight shock in his heart and couldn't help but ask, "Our dean, Dean Hai?"
He had been at the school for quite some time and was rather familiar with the history of his own academy.
"Is there a second Dean Hai at our school?" Li Yang said with a smile, "Most of the time, Dean Hai isn't at the school. He's either stationed in the Star Realm, or he's traversing life and death in bitter cultivation."
"This time you're in luck. His Excellency is returning to the school today."
"Just now, I've submitted your performance to Dean Hai at the first opportunity." Li Yang continued, "He has replied to my message, instructing us to bring you to meet him once we're back at the school."
"Yes." Li Yuan nodded, a mix of anticipation and nervousness in his heart.
That was a Flying Heaven Warrior, truly a peerless martial force to be reckoned with, whose strength was terrifying enough to basically ignore modern firearms.
He could be considered a main combat force guarding human civilization.
For instance, the Provincial Hall Masters of places like Jiangbei, Starfire Martial Hall, and Starry Sky Martial Hall, the strongest warriors in the military... they were all Flying Heaven Warriors.
Such peerless beings could shake a province with a mere stamp of their foot.
"Don't worry, Dean Hai is very approachable; he won't do anything to you," Li Yang said with a smile. "If he wants to see you, it means your performance has been outstanding."
"It has been many years since Dean Hai has summoned a student from the academy for a one-on-one meeting."
Li Yuan thoughtfully pondered.
For such a superior being, time was precious, and without demonstrating the potential of a Flying Heaven Warrior, he probably wouldn't summon anyone for a one-on-one meeting.
Li Yang didn't reveal too much to Li Yuan because he wasn't sure what benefits Dean Hai might offer. He didn't want to raise Li Yuan's expectations too much.
"For ranking first at Base Four this time, the school will reward you with five million Blue Star Coins," Li Yang said with a smile. "As the top student in the grade, the school will reward you with three million Blue Star Coins."
Li Yuan's eyes lit up.
Added together, that was eight million Blue Star Coins.
"Additionally, having served as the head senior brother for a month, the school's evaluation of your assessment is 'excellent'." Li Yang smiled somewhat playfully, "The reward of 'one million Blue Star Coins' for this half-year will increase by 20%, totaling 1.2 million Blue Star Coins, which will be given to you all at once."
"Thank you, Teacher." Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.
He understood that the so-called 'excellent' assessment was probably decided by Teacher Li Yang.
Had Li Yuan truly fulfilled his duties? Not really.
But leading the entire academy's students to secure first place in various assessments as a group? That qualified him as an outstanding senior brother.
Results decided everything.
"Alright, off you go." President Li said with a smile, "After the train arrives, go change into clean clothes when we're back at school, and then wait at Heilong Building."
"Yes." Li Yuan turned and prepared to leave.
Buzz~ President Li's smart ring vibrated.
"Hmm?" President Li looked down, his expression changing suddenly as he stood up.
"Teacher?" Li Yuan sensed something was amiss.
"It's nothing, hurry on to the train." President Li said solemnly, "Dean Hai won't have time to see you today; wait for my notification."
"Yes." Li Yuan immediately realized that something major must have happened.
Whoosh! Li Yang grabbed hold of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan felt a gust of wind flash by, and in an instant, they had moved over a hundred meters from the conference room.
In the distance, a large number of students were boarding the train in an orderly fashion.
After leaving those words, Li Yang moved, transforming into a streak of light darting over two hundred meters; yet the air hardly trembled.
In a few bounds, he had disappeared at the end of the plaza.
From the direction he went, he was heading to the War Fortress.
"Such speed." Li Yuan held his breath as he watched Li Yang fade into the distance, witnessing his true strength for the first time.
"Must be close to the speed of sound," Li Yuan sighed inwardly. "Is this the power of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist?"
It wasn't just Li Yuan; many students had witnessed Li Yang speeding away.
"No idea what major event occurred, it seems even Dean Hai has to go there," Li Yuan thought to himself. "I hope everything is all right."
Li Yuan didn't ponder too deeply.
When the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up; he wasn't yet capable of shouldering such responsibilities.
Concentrating on his training to become stronger was what a good student should do.
Li Yuan walked toward the distant train, boarding the carriage in sequence.
Boom! Li Yang burst forth at full speed, leaping dozens of meters high in a single bound, covering hundreds of meters in a flash, and swiftly arriving outside the War Fortress.
The several dozen teachers who had been in the meeting.
Almost all were already waiting outside the War Fortress.
"Dean Xu, Dean Qin." President Li landed and immediately asked, "What's the situation?"
"Our 'Observation Point Six' in the Kunlun Star Realm has been exposed; the marrow crystal veins have been discovered by the Alien Race," Dean Xu said gravely. "Currently, it's under siege by the native powers of the Star Realm, and from the traces that have been revealed so far, it appears that the Immortal Ruins Civilization's Great Sects are behind it."
"The Great Sects of the Immortal Ruins Civilization?" Li Yang's expression changed.
At their level, they were all too aware of what this implied.
The Kunlun Star Realm was nothing compared to the vast and mighty Immortal Ruins Civilization.
However, it was very important to the Human Race of the Seven Stars Sea, especially to Xia Country.
Setting up Kunlun Martial University there was to guard the Kunlun Star Realm.
It was also an important source of resources for Kunlun Martial University.
"How could it have been discovered?" Li Yang couldn't help but say, "Our observation points have always been very secretive."
"It's related to Dean Zhao and the others," Dean Qin, a plump elder, sighed. "Europa's Koreya applied to the alliance to enter the Kunlun Star Realm not too long ago... The situation is very chaotic, and we haven't completely figured it out yet."
"The principal has ordered us to go and provide support immediately. We'll abandon Observation Point Six, but we must bring back the besieged Martial Artists, the mined marrow crystals, and we also have to eliminate all traces to avoid exposing more observation points," Dean Qin said.
"Dean Hai and three other Flying Heaven Warriors are already stationed at the three major entrances of the Kunlun Star Realm."
