Amidst the chaos back then, the Fish Demon King almost broke through the Dark Cave. Fortunately, Dean Ryan managed to hold it back in the end. Of course, it must be said that your parents also provided great support—they were truly remarkable, a fact even Dean Ryan personally acknowledged.Albert’s emotions surged. He had never imagined that such an earth-shattering battle had erupted in the Dark Cave all those years ago. And at this moment, some of his doubts were finally resolved—for instance, why the academy had to pay an enormous price every year to suppress the Dark Cave, even sacrificing the lives of many students, yet never sought help from other forces in the Newhurst Empire. It turned out they had once been let down by outside aid.And this 'Fish Curse' on my face is what the Evil Creature King, the Fish Demon King, left on me back then, Mentor Ilya took a deep breath and continued.At that time, the Fish Demon King was blocked by Dean Ryan and your parents working together.

On that high platform, Vice Dean Elsie took a step forward, her gaze sweeping across the entire crowd—and the boisterous commotion in the venue gradually died down.Dear students of Newhurst Academy, today our academy’s delegation will set off to participate in the Holy Grail Battle. This is the highest-level grand ceremony among all academies in the Eastern Divine Continent. As for how important it is... I think we may need to invite someone to explain it to everyone, Vice Dean Elsie’s warm and clear voice echoed in every person’s ears.All the students looked on in confusion, and then faint whispers broke out. On such an occasion, was there anyone more qualified than Vice Dean Elsie?Amid those confused gazes, a crystal bead slowly rose from Vice Dean Elsie’s hand. After a few breaths, the crystal bead expanded rapidly, transforming into a crystal mirror. The surface of the mirror swirled, gradually fading into a dark, lightless hue.Albert stared at the darkness inside the crystal

However, due to the excessively violent energy inside the spatial passage, Albert and the others fell into a state of lethargic dormancy shortly after entering. Among the team, only Vice Dean Elsie remained completely unaffected; the rest, including Walter, the Crown Princess, Emily, and a handful of others, could only frown slightly as they resisted the crushing and eroding force of the violent energy surrounding them.Fortunately, no matter how long a journey is, it will eventually come to an end.When Vice Dean Elsie caught sight of the sudden white light appearing ahead, she knew the teleportation was about to conclude.She then flicked her fingers, and streaks of soul power light emerged from her fingertips, landing on Albert and the others who were in the lethargic state behind her.By the time they roused themselves from their lethargy, the team had already rushed out of the spatial passage.Thus, when Albert opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a cyan tower standing ahe

And the number of 'Divine Tree Golden Emblems' a school possesses will determine which school becomes the final champion.Vice Dean Elsie looked at Emily with a slight smile on her face: Although it might seem a bit complacent to say this now, I believe that among these four 'Divine Tree Golden Emblems', we have a very high chance of securing at least one.No one thought Vice Dean Elsie was getting ahead of herself. After all, Emily was indeed the most capable of winning the title of Strongest in the Three-Star Courtyard this time. Other academies all regarded her as their biggest competitor—if even she didn’t have the qualification to make such a bold statement, no one else would.However, the result of the first part, the 'Courtyard-level Battle', can only lay a certain advantage. The real decisive victory will be determined by the second part, the 'Mixed-level Battle'.The so-called 'Mixed-level Battle' requires each academy to form three-person teams from its four courtyard levels

Even Fink, who was about to take part in this plan, looked solemn—for he knew just how powerful Emily was.Though he had never actually fought her, a 9-star Light Element Soul was more than enough to crush any dissent.In this plan, we need to do one thing, Arpton tapped the table lightly with his fingers and smiled, I want our Shengming King Academy to become a priority target that Emily is eager to attack. Simply put, I want her, after entering the core area, to see Fink and immediately want to eliminate him first.Because that way, it will be easier to carry out certain parts of the plan.Upon hearing this, Fink’s face was filled with helplessness. Was he really that annoying?Vice Dean, I haven’t provoked her at all. Why would she target me like this?Arpton let out a soft chuckle and said, If you haven’t provoked her, then go provoke her a little.Fink looked embarrassed, I’m not good at this kind of thing. Besides, she might not even pay attention to me—we might not even get to
