Chapter 245

Supreme Academy.

This most mysterious and powerful academy in You Daxia stood in the suburbs of the capital, located on the cloud-shrouded Mount Yinmeng.

Below Mount Yinmeng, demon beasts were everywhere. For ordinary people, wanting to get close to Mount Yinmeng was not an easy task, let alone climbing to the peak of Mount Yinmeng.

On the peak, flowing springs and waterfalls, surrounded by a sea of clouds, the Supreme Academy hidden among the towering ancient trees was like a celestial palace beyond the heavens, possessing an indescribable immortal aura.

The buildings inside the Supreme Academy were also antique, and the students in the academy had steady steps and auras like an abyss.

And just at this moment, in the infirmary of the Supreme Academy, Zhuge Ni groaned and woke up from her coma.

"You're awake?"

A thin man with his hands behind his back stood quietly by Zhuge Ni's bed. He wore a white shirt, and his temperament was refined, like an immortal who didn't eat the food of the mortal world.

The moment she saw this man, Zhuge Ni's expression changed slightly.

"Greetings, Vice Dean!"

The Dean of the Supreme Academy was elusive, and many students never saw what the Dean looked like from enrollment to graduation.

Therefore, all matters of the Supreme Academy were coordinated and dispatched by the two Vice Deans.

And the thin man in front of her was exactly one of the Vice Deans of the Supreme Academy, Yun Xintong!

"Tell me, what exactly happened in the Dragon Pool Realm," Yun Xintong asked coldly.

Zhuge Ni's thoughts were pulled back to before she fainted. She couldn't help but shiver, and a look of terror appeared in her eyes. The strength of the man named Ye Mushuang was too terrifying.

"It's the Ye family! People from the Ye family took action!"

Zhuge Ni tried hard to recall the previous scene.

"That person is named Ye Mushuang, an Ice-type Mage. He suddenly appeared, and then directly took action against us. Heng Wu and Teacher Wen Tianyan should have both died at his hands!"

"Oh? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Yun Xintong asked.

"No... I was knocked unconscious by him." Zhuge Ni shook her head.

"Unconscious? Then can you explain why your level soared from 35 to 42 in just a few days?" Yun Xintong asked again.

"Me?"

Zhuge Ni pointed at herself in confusion, and then she sensed it, her eyes filled with doubt.

She really was Level 42!

But how could this be? Before she fainted, she was clearly only Level 35.

"I don't know..."

Zhuge Ni's eyes were filled with bewilderment.

"Tell me everything that happened after you entered the Dragon Pool Realm in detail, don't leave anything out," Yun Xintong ordered.

Zhuge Ni nodded. Starting from meeting Ye Lin at the Job Changer Guild and competing with Ye Lin for the mission, Zhuge Ni recounted everything she knew.

Yun Xintong listened quietly, his fingers tapping lightly on the guardrail of the bed, his brows gradually knitting together.

After Zhuge Ni finished speaking, Yun Xintong spoke.

"Normal people have motives for doing things."

"If what you said is all fact, then Ye Mushuang had absolutely no motive to take action against you, unless... he and that Ye Lin are the same person." Yun Xintong narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ye Mushuang and Ye Lin are the same person? How could that be?" Zhuge Ni couldn't help but shake her head.

"When you eliminate all impossible situations, the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth," Yun Xintong said.

"Vice Dean, you don't know, Ye Lin and I came from the same place. I know him very well, he couldn't be Teacher Wen Tianyan's opponent. Moreover, he was heavily injured by Teacher Wen Tianyan at the beginning. I saw this with my own eyes."

Zhuge Ni's tone was very certain.

Ye Lin could beat Teacher Wen Tianyan? How could that be!

Yun Xintong frowned slightly, then stared fixedly at Zhuge Ni's eyes.

"Zhuge Ni, do you know? From the whole process of the events you described, Ye Lin is the biggest suspect. If his suspicion is ruled out, then the one with the biggest suspicion... is you!"

Zhuge Ni's heart skipped a beat.

"Because you can't explain why Ye Mushuang killed everyone but left you as the only survivor, and you can't explain why your level soared from 35 to 42."

"Combining the currently known information... the only truth I can infer is that you discovered some opportunity in the Dragon Pool Realm that could greatly improve strength, and then you colluded with Ye Mushuang, working from the inside and outside to kill Heng Wu and the other six, as well as Wen Tianyan."

"This would explain why you are not only still alive but also have greatly increased strength."

Listening to Yun Xintong's words, Zhuge Ni's eyes were filled with confusion.

"Dean, I really don't know what happened."

"I will investigate this matter clearly. It's best if it has nothing to do with you. If it has something to do with you..."

A cold light flashed in Yun Xintong's eyes.

The Supreme Academy only recruited one hundred students every year, and these one hundred people were all peerless heaven's pride brought in from all over You Daxia.

Losing even one was enough to make him heartbroken for a long time, let alone six people dying in one breath, and even a teacher dying!

The Supreme Academy hadn't suffered such a heavy loss for a long time. This matter must be investigated thoroughly!

Since Ye Lin's suspicion had been ruled out, then now, the one that should be investigated most is that Ye Mushuang!

It concerned the Ye family, so he couldn't be careless. Yun Xintong decided to make a trip personally to find out the truth!

Just as Yun Xintong was preparing to set off, his figure suddenly paused.

Because he sensed that an extremely powerful aura was rapidly approaching Mount Yinmeng, heading straight for the Supreme Academy on the peak.

"Could it be that someone from the Ye family has come?"

Yun Xintong frowned slightly. He walked out of the infirmary, stood on the square of the Supreme Academy with his hands behind his back, and waited quietly for the visitor.

Soon, Yun Xintong saw the visitor. The old man was a white-haired elder with a body full of solid muscles. But strangely, it seemed like there was a huge swimming pool carried on the man's head?

This filled Yun Xintong's eyes with doubt. Why did this person carry a swimming pool here?

"Hahahaha! Friends of the Supreme Academy! Good afternoon!" Shen Jingbin laughed heartily.

"May I ask who you are?" Yun Xintong stared at Shen Jingbin with some doubt. He felt this guy was very familiar, but he couldn't quite remember where he had seen him.

"Who I am is not important. What's important is! I want to find a student to pass on my life's learning! I have long heard that the students of the Supreme Academy are gifted, so I came here today specifically to find a successor. After all, I always have to find a new owner for my divine artifact..."

Shen Jingbin muttered to himself with some sadness. His five fingers slowly closed, and the surrounding space rippled like a lake whose calm had been broken. Subsequently, a pair of brass knuckles shining with golden metallic luster covered his hands!

The brass knuckles could completely wrap around the back of the hand, with a sharp spike at the front, and two lifelike silver dragon patterns on both sides of the spike.

The moment the brass knuckles and Shen Jingbin combined, the entire Mount Yinmeng seemed to tremble, and a terrifying aura spread out, pressing down so hard that people couldn't breathe.

The teachers and students of the Supreme Academy were all shocked by this aura, and subsequently, they all began to get excited.

Because the other party said he wanted to find a successor! Didn't this mean that as long as they were favored by this old man, they could obtain this powerful divine artifact!

For a time, almost all the students of the Supreme Academy from freshman to senior couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but run to the square, staring at Shen Jingbin with anticipation.

Seeing more and more people gathering in the square, the smile on Shen Jingbin's face slowly changed from amiable to ferocious and terrifying.

"Good, good, good! You all stand where you are and don't move, I have a small test here that you need to participate in!"
