Chapter 250: Plum Blossoms Bloom Twice

"The Great Xia Human Emperor?"

Ye Lin could not help but gasp.

The Human Emperor!

The strongest person in Great Xia, bar none!

There are seven Origin Ancient Artifacts in total, and one of them is in the hands of the Great Xia Human Emperor, passed down through generations; this is something known to everyone in the world, yet absolutely no one dares to try and seize it.

Who doesn't know there is money in a bank?

Ye Lin did not expect that this so-called Mountain and Sea Secret Realm would actually involve a figure like the Human Emperor.

"Dean, if it is the strongest secret realm, wouldn't the monsters inside the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm be terrifying?" Ye Lin asked.

"The term 'strongest secret realm' does not mean the monsters inside are the strongest, but rather, in terms of enhancing one's strength, the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm is the undisputed number one! The undisputed strongest!"

Yan Lanbing shook her head and continued to explain.

"Inside the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, there are not many monsters, but every single one is extremely unique. Killing monsters in the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, besides gaining more experience points than other monsters, more importantly, allows you to obtain a glimmer of insight into your own profession! It lets you understand your profession more deeply!"

"This point is of immense help to class-changers when they eventually break through to the Sun, Moon, and Star realms!"

"Let's put it this way: any class-changer who walks out of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, provided they do not die prematurely and have no intellectual or physical defects, is guaranteed to be at least a professor-level powerhouse!"

Ye Lin listened, his heart pounding. A professor at Great Xia Academy is only qualified to hold the position if they are a class-changer above level 80. No wonder the Human Emperor keeps the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm firmly under his own control.

This is clearly a mass-production machine for powerhouses!

"Dean, then how can one enter this Mountain and Sea Secret Realm?" Ye Lin rubbed his hands in anticipation.

Yan Lanbing glanced at Ye Lin.

"Don't be in a rush. One can only enter the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm once, and the age must be under 20. My suggestion is for you to enter the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm next year."

"As for this year, just grind monsters in the secret realms controlled by Great Xia Academy. That way, your strength can be improved, and your harvest from entering the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm will be even greater."

Faced with Yan Lanbing's suggestion, Ye Lin had his own ideas. His true level had long since reached a frightening level 60, and if he went all out, he would fear no opponent below level 80.

Entering the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm with this combat power should be no problem at all.

"Dean! I think this year is fine! I have confidence in my strength!"

"Are you sure?" Yan Lanbing frowned.

"Sure! I can already fully control the divine artifact given by Professor Shen!" Ye Lin nodded.

Yan Lanbing pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"You may not know this, but the quota for entering the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm is limited. My Great Xia Academy only has five spots, and the five candidates for this year have already been decided. If you are determined to enter the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm this year, you must defeat one of those five people head-on."

"Don't say I didn't warn you in advance; those five are all fourth-year students at Great Xia Academy, and they are the five strongest and most terrifying students in the fourth year. Even the weakest among them is level 48."

Survival of the fittest; even if Yan Lanbing is the Dean, she cannot show favoritism in this matter, otherwise, it would damage the prestige of Great Xia Academy.

If Ye Lin wants to replace one of those five, he must rely on his own hard strength.

"Understood! Dean, I am a person who hates taking the back door the most!" Ye Lin nodded. "By the way, Dean, can I recommend someone else?"

Ye Lin suddenly thought of Duan Ling, who was still sleeping. Now that Duan Ling had successfully mastered the Netherworld Yellow Springs, although her level was only 39, the combat power she could display would surely be extremely terrifying.

"Of course you can. The opening of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm is also of great significance to Great Xia Academy, because this Mountain and Sea Secret Realm is actually an assessment of the teaching quality of various academies. The Human Emperor will allocate educational resources based on the ranking of the academies' teams."

"Therefore, every academy inevitably sends the five strongest people within the academy. My Great Xia Academy... has already taken second place for nine years. This year is the tenth year..."

Speaking of this, Yan Lanbing's expression was also somewhat unpleasant.

Who wants to be the runner-up forever? It's just that the monsters coming out of the Supreme Academy every year are too terrifying.

"Don't worry, Dean! If I don't get first place this year, I'll die right in front of you!" Ye Lin patted his chest and vowed.

"That is completely unnecessary!" Yan Lanbing had black lines on her forehead. "You go back first; I will arrange for you to meet those five people tomorrow."

"Alright, thank you, Dean. May the Dean live forever!"

Ye Lin left happily. He was determined to get into that Mountain and Sea Secret Realm. He also wanted to know what a Forbidden Spellcaster like him could gain insights into.

Night fell, and the stars hung high.

The tranquil night shrouded Silver Dream Mountain, and the stains on the plaza of the Supreme Academy had already been cleaned up.

It was just that the air was still inevitably filled with a faint, lingering stench.

Lu Renyi was a student at the Supreme Academy and one of the victims of today's "Heavenly Descent of Auspicious Dung" incident.

He had taken twenty baths today just to wash the terrifying stench off his body.

Even so, when lying in bed, he still kept smelling a strange odor.

And what puzzled him was that this smell was getting stronger! It was even starting to sting his eyes a little!

Lu Renyi sat up from his bed with a start, opened his dormitory door, and walked out.

Only then did he discover that many others had also been driven out of their dormitories by this strange stench.

"Strange! Didn't they say the auspicious dung had been cleaned up? Why is there still a smell of feces?"

"And have you noticed? This stench is getting clearer and clearer!"

"This smell is a bit familiar... One year, my family's septic tank exploded, and it smelled just like this. Could our school's septic tank have exploded?"

Everyone discussed it in a hubbub. Lu Renyi hurriedly reported the news to the teachers of the Supreme Academy.

Soon, teachers came out to handle the matter, but when they went to check, they discovered something.

It wasn't that the septic tank had exploded; the entire septic tank was gone!

The teacher of the Supreme Academy let out a sharp, explosive shriek.

"God damn it! How is it that there are people stealing shit these days!"

As soon as the words fell, a somewhat familiar voice rang out over the plaza of the Supreme Academy.

"Fart! You're the one stealing shit, your whole family is stealing shit! Who would covet your shit! I'm giving it all back to you!"

Splash!

In an instant, the plaza of the Supreme Academy was once again graced by a heavenly descent of auspicious dung!

The plaza, which had been cleaned for less than two hours, was once again polluted by countless amounts of fecal water.

As the fecal water poured down, a kind and benevolent voice kept ringing out.

"Is it enough, child? Is it enough?"
