This being the case, the members of the Regent’s faction let out a slight sigh of relief, then comforted themselves—for the reason the Regent gave was somewhat logically consistent.The Regent and Albert had a deep-seated enmity. With such a golden opportunity at hand, it made sense that Albert would choose to retaliate by borrowing Dean Lane’s power. And as long as they endured this crisis until the Regent truly inherited the National Protector Formation, even if Lane did emerge from the depths of the Dark Cavern, he would be unable to do anything to the Regent—unless Lane was truly willing to tear off all pretense and completely overthrow Newhurst. But if that happened, the commotion would be too great, and the Academy Alliance would never allow it.Upon hearing this, Albert couldn’t help but laugh angrily. The Regent was truly a tough opponent—even in such a disadvantageous situation, he still managed to turn the tide of public opinion back in his favor.Aldrich, the Eldest Princes

Kelly rolled her jet-black eyes, hooked her arm through Alice’s, and said, Mother, if Newhurst really falls into chaos, it won’t be good for the Clark Chamber of Commerce’s business either. That Aldrich is clearly no good—if he gains power, I don’t think it’ll bode well for us.Alice shot her daughter a glance, too lazy to expose her true motives. Are you really thinking about the Clark Chamber of Commerce? Or are you thinking about Albert?!We have such a huge family business—far stronger than the Martin Family. Are you really planning to stake it all?People say you shouldn’t release the eagle without seeing the rabbit. You’re still so far from Albert, yet you’re already ready to give up our entire fortune?For a moment, Alice felt both exasperated and amused....Albert...The Eldest Princess also watched Albert’s figure with surging emotions. That saber strike that had torn through space seemed to shine through her bright pupils and illuminate her heart, filling her with excitemen

And how could it have planted corruption seeds without anyone noticing, even after countless screenings and inspections?This is completely illogical!Even if it is an Evil Creature King, an existence comparable to a Holy Spirit Realm powerhouse, pulling off something like this should not be so easy. The Dean could not have failed to detect it.It seems your heart is filled with doubts, the golden-silver double-pupiled man said with a smile, looking at the furious and shocked Odette.As for how it was done... we have Enoch to thank. After all, none of you could have imagined that within your academy, there is actually a Purple Radiance Mentors who willingly formed a contract with the Fish Ghoul King. With him as the medium, year after year of gradual erosion and corruption, you naturally failed to notice that corruption seeds had quietly invaded the bodies of other mentors.No matter how powerful Lane is, he cannot read people’s minds.Upon hearing the golden-silver double-pupiled man

Her words were perfectly reasonable. In truth, it made little difference to the Clark Chamber of Commerce whether the Regent or the Eldest Princess held power—business was business, no matter who was in charge. But malicious corruption was an entirely different matter. If it truly spread and attracted evil creatures, were they supposed to do business with monsters?The Regent’s eyes twitched slightly. Alice’s reasoning was impeccable, so he could only let out a muffled snort in the end.Albert paid no heed to the Regent. He quickly stepped in front of Mentor Ilya, taking her slender, soft hand in his, while his other hand tightened around the Golden Jade Saber.In the next moment, he channeled the immense power within the saber once more.The Tricolor Soul Sacred Aura emerged directly from his arm, radiating profound and mysterious light as it flowed along the clasped hands of Albert and Ilya.The sacred aura rotated slowly, emanating a special suction force that drew the endless stre

A shadow of gloom flashed across the Golden Radiance Mentor’s eyes. To dare invade the academy so openly, the intruders could never be acting alone—behind them, there was most likely an extremely terrifying force... But we still have Dean Lane, he thought, recalling the academy’s pillar of support. A surge of confidence inexplicably welled up in his heart as he continued guiding the young students toward safety....At the academy’s Soul Power Tree. The golden-silver double-pupiled man glanced around as streams of intense light descended from the sky, launching attacks toward his position—only to be quickly intercepted by the corrupted Purple Radiance Mentors.Chaos erupted as both sides clashed fiercely, locked in a bitter struggle. Among the many academies in the Eastern Divine Continent, Newhurst Academy’s heritage and strength are quite impressive, the golden-silver double-pupiled man nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of admiration. If you hadn’t quietly spread the seeds o
