If this less-than-a-hundred-meter Barrier Model could achieve a breakthrough, Yang Aoshan might be able to use it as a foundation to construct a true Sixth-Level Barrier, thereby ascending to the rank of Barrier Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, the reason Yang Aoshan came to the North was to fill the knowledge gaps regarding the “light” and “dark” elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After over a year, the combination of theory and experimentation led to progress that exceeded expectations in the study of the Barrier Model.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, Yang Aoshan was meticulously and cautiously dismantling the Barrier Model step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the phone placed on the nearby small table rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Yang, the banquet is about to begin. When might you be arriving?” It was Colt, her student, on the other end of the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Aoshan glanced at the time and realized it was already close to seven o’clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*She had been so preoccupied with dismantling the model that she had completely forgotten about this matter.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she dismantled the model quickly, she could return to Great Flame immediately. Yang Aoshan initially planned to decline outright but hesitated as the words reached her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Yang?” Colt inquired again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Aoshan said, “I’ll come by a little later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it. Then we’ll be waiting for you~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, you all can start without me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, okay…” Colt was replying but seemed to be interrupted as someone else grabbed the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Yang, it’s Klaradak. How about I come to pick you up now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Klaradak’s voice, Yang Aoshan frowned slightly. “No, I’ll just take a cab and come by myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then. Please hurry; everyone’s waiting for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I know.” Yang Aoshan hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a villa estate in the outskirts of Hardiles City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klaradak stared at the disconnected phone call and breathed a small sigh of relief—at least Yang Aoshan hadn’t just abruptly refused to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colt retrieved his phone and asked, “Klaradak, are you planning on confessing to Teacher Yang again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klaradak chuckled, “Of course. That’s why I’ll need you all to create the right mood. Also, this time, I brought something special—a high-tier energy stone of the dark attribute secured via my family’s connections. She’s bound to love it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Luo La and the others exclaimed, “That’s truly extraordinary!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy stones were crystalline artifacts with ultra-high energy density, artificially compressed from the energy extracted from Star Cores and Star Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While not as versatile as Star Stones and unable to be directly absorbed by Star Card Masters, they were particularly suited for barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon finding out that Klaradak intended to woo Yang Aoshan, his family eagerly provided this high-tier dark attribute energy stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a genius Fifth-Level Barrier Master under twenty-five was highly significant to Klaradak’s family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colt secretly shook his head, though. *While Klaradak was undeniably outstanding, it was evident that Yang Aoshan held little interest in him.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*And despite the energy stone’s value, Yang Aoshan did not seem like someone who would compromise herself for material possessions.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t much hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Robert, who was standing beside Klaradak, contemplated for a moment before patting Klaradak on the shoulder. He said, “Klaradak, I need to talk to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked to a corner of the estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Robert said, “Today, I saw Teacher Yang go to the café behind the academy, right after you went to the library to invite her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klaradak laughed, “She likes coffee; isn’t that normal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But she usually prefers hand-ground coffee, doesn’t she? Moreover, from what I observed, she seemed to have gone to meet someone. She appeared quite happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used the Air-tight Guide and noticed the presence of someone else’s energy on her—it should be a man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klaradak froze momentarily before asking, “Did you get a clear view of the man?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I also went into the café later on, but for some reason, that person was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And tonight, at the banquet, Teacher Yang still hasn’t left home yet and didn’t let you pick her up. I was wondering…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Robert trailed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klaradak didn’t need him to elaborate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you implying she might have someone at her place?” Klaradak clenched his fists tightly. “Teacher Yang, such an exceptional woman, wouldn’t behave frivolously. It’s impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*How could Klaradak accept this after chasing his goddess for so long, only to find that she might have someone else—and even bring them home?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert nodded, “I hope so. I just thought it would be better to give you a heads-up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klaradak nodded and returned to the group with Robert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But despite the lively atmosphere of the banquet, Klaradak’s thoughts were far from the present. His mind kept replaying Robert’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agitated, he slammed his hand against the edge of the table, cracking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Klaradak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailan, Robert, Colt, and the others were startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a darkened expression, Klaradak said, “I’m going to pick up Teacher Yang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, he headed straight out the door…\u003C\u002Fp>",925,"2026-05-30T02:56:16.921Z","2026-06-01T04:30:06.225Z",1,"novelbin.me","b4aeb69ea3563cf5d6453fae81dc3749cf2ce051b59ead4f0721f9ecaf407d99","supreme-star-card-master-chapter-230","supreme-star-card-master-chapter-229",1697,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsupreme-star-card-master-cover.jpg"]
