"You brat..."

Murong Xiao was fuming with anger!

He realized that this kid was deliberately changing the subject, not wanting to answer him!

He wanted to say more, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed Chen Bei standing nearby, and his pupils shrank instantly!

"Who is this?"

Murong Xiao didn't recognize Chen Bei, but he could see through Chen Bei's strength at a glance—it was the ninth level of the Life Seizing Realm.

The most crucial thing was that this person's bone age was not even over sixteen!

A sixteen-year-old cultivator at the Life Seizing Realm, what did that signify?

A true prodigy of the heavens!

And at the ninth level of the Life Seizing Realm, the implications were even deeper.

One must know, the path of cultivation is long and fraught with difficulties.

Each level is a breakthrough, defying the heavens, with corpses piling like mountains!

Those who seize life walk against the heavens, contending with the heavens. If successful, they rise against the current; if they fail, they perish!

What had this sixteen-year-old gone through to reach the ninth level of the Life Seizing Realm?

And what had Zhou Hai experienced?

Indeed, today Zhou Hai had given him too many surprises.

In his twenties and already in the Divine Ability Realm, accompanied by a sixteen-year-old at the ninth level of the Life Seizing Realm, these two monsters were even more extraordinary than the holy sons and daughters of the major sacred lands!

And now, such figures appeared in his academy branch—was this something he could even dare to imagine?

"What are you looking at? My disciple, Chen Bei!"

"Senior Brother, stop changing the subject and talk about my courtyard first!"

Zhou Hai said impatiently from the side.

"What, your disciple... could he be the one from this morning..."

Murong Xiao was shocked, finding it hard to believe.

But in fact, Zhou Hai had only one disciple!

How could this be?

This morning he was a crippled beggar, and in the blink of an eye, he became an unparalleled genius!

Was this a dream?

What kind of sleeping posture could lead to such a dream!

"Disciple Chen Bei, greets the Sect Master!"

Chen Bei bowed and saluted Murong Xiao with a Confucian courtesy.

"Chen Bei?"

"That name sounds so familiar!"

"Wait, are you... Zhuyu's disciple?"

"The Overlord of the Great Qian Dynasty?"

Murong Xiao's eyebrows furrowed, suddenly thinking of something, and he stared intently at Chen Bei!

"Yes, Sect Master, I am!"

Chen Bei was constantly observing Murong Xiao, wanting to see his attitude towards him.

Would he be expelled, or would Murong Xiao take action against him, or perhaps keep him?

He hoped his teacher hadn't misjudged!

Teacher Zhuyu had once said that Murong Xiao was absolutely trustworthy!

"It's really you, weren't you supposed to be dead?"

"No, no, I only saw bloodstains and remnants, not an actual body, how could I conclude you were dead?"

"I was wrong, you are indeed still alive!"

"Only you could have such talent!"

"Only you could make the major sacred lands feel threatened and want to eliminate you early!"

Murong Xiao shook his head, finding it hard to believe that Chen Bei was still alive, because he had indeed searched for Chen Bei.

But coming back to his senses, he had to accept this fact!

As they were speaking, more figures flew in from the sky. The commotion here had alarmed the elders of the various palaces of the academy!

Seeing this, Murong Xiao waved his hand, and a powerful force spread out, instantly forming a barrier that sealed the entire courtyard.

"Child, since you've come here, just settle down and stay."

"Being able to become Zhou Hai's disciple is a fate determined by the heavens. From now on, practice diligently with Zhou Hai, and unless necessary, do not leave this courtyard!"

Murong Xiao looked at Chen Bei with earnestness, then turned to Zhou Hai and said, "And you, brat, I don't care what you're hiding!"

"Since you're a teacher, you should act like one, stop being so lazy. Also, keep an eye on your disciple, don't let him go out easily, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Hai and Chen Bei to respond, Murong Xiao flew up and rushed out of the barrier.

"Sect Master, what is this about?"

"Sect Master..."

"Sect Master..."

Outside the barrier, the elders from the Sword Palace, Learning Palace, Martial Arts Palace, Alchemy Palace, and other palaces had all arrived. Seeing Murong Xiao fly out, everyone was puzzled, not understanding why Murong Xiao had set up a barrier!

"It's nothing, just testing the Little Junior Brother!"

"From now on, this place will be the Little Junior Brother's secluded cultivation area. Everyone should head to the Dao Repository Palace and not set foot in this small courtyard, or face severe punishment!"

Murong Xiao stood with his hands behind his back in the air, speaking in a deep voice.

"But Sect Master, can we at least see the Little Junior Brother now?"

Everyone frowned, feeling that Murong Xiao was hiding something, and someone asked.

"There's nothing to see, disperse!"

Murong Xiao frowned!

Zhou Hai's matter was easy to handle, but he didn't want Chen Bei to be exposed.

Zhuyu of the Great Qian Jixia Academy couldn't protect Chen Bei, and he was equally unsure, so caution was paramount.

Hearing this, the elders wanted to say more.

But at this moment, Chu Chen flew over!

"Master, all the martial uncles and uncles, people from the Great Qian Academy have arrived, saying they want to discuss the Four Academies Debate!"

"But among them are people from the Great Qian Court, and they don't seem to have good intentions!"

Chu Chen flew in front of everyone and cupped his hands.

"What, it's enough for people from the Great Qian Academy to come, why is the Great Qian Court sending people?"

Everyone was puzzled upon hearing this.

But Murong Xiao instantly understood something.

"Let's go, the once-in-a-decade Four Academies Debate is just around the corner, it's indeed time to discuss it!"

Murong Xiao waved his hand and led everyone away from here.

The words they spoke were heard clearly by Zhou Hai and Chen Bei below.

Watching the backs of these people leaving, Chen Bei frowned, a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes!

"Big Royal Brother, have you already become restless and sent people to hunt me down here?"

Chen Bei clenched his fists tightly, muttering to himself.

"Alright, don't mind your Sect Master Uncle's stinginess, he's doing it for your own good!"

"But as my disciple, and with a natural battle soul, how can you be timid!"

"Take this, from now on, go wherever you want, do whatever you want, there's no need to hide in this courtyard, if anything happens, I'll back you up!"

Seeing the murderous intent in Chen Bei's eyes, Zhou Hai waved his hand, and a storage jade pendant flew in front of Chen Bei!

Chen Bei was taken aback, picked up the jade pendant to investigate, and his face changed dramatically.

Inside the jade pendant were over a hundred Saint-level talismans and dozens of puppets.

Each puppet exuded a suffocating aura.

And that wasn't the most terrifying part!

The most terrifying thing was that among these treasures stood a Fangtian Halberd. The aura of destruction lingered around the battle halberd, as if it were in slumber.

But even in slumber, this battle halberd still gave off a feeling of world-destroying power, not to be approached lightly!

That was an unparalleled Emperor's Might, not to be gazed upon by mortals!

"An Imperial Artifact!"

"Saint Talismans!"

"Saint Puppets!"

"Master, you..."

Looking at Zhou Hai again, Chen Bei felt like he was going crazy, had his master looted an Emperor's treasury?

This accumulation was too strong, wasn't it?

And he just handed it all to him with a wave of his hand!

Even the Overlord, who had been strong all his life, couldn't help but have his eyes well up with tears at this moment, his master was truly good to him!

With these things, he could roam the world without fear!

"Alright, prepare to cultivate. Today we will defy the heavens and seize its fortune, striving to enter the Divine Ability Realm!"

"How about it, do you have confidence?"

Looking at the touched Chen Bei, Zhou Hai waved his hand.

"Reporting to Master, the power of the Flood Dragon's blood is too vast, I have absorbed less than one-tenth of it, and there is more power hidden within me!"

"If I refine it all, I estimate I can reach the third level of the Divine Ability Realm at least!"

"And after the transformation by the Flood Dragon's blood, my foundation is nearly perfect!"

"Unfortunately, I don't have enough resources, otherwise, if I could practice the Hundred Refinements Emperor Sutra, making my foundation and body even more perfect, the help from the Flood Dragon's blood might be greater!"

Chen Bei shook his head, a little disappointed.

He really wanted to practice the Hundred Refinements Emperor Sutra!

"Who said there are no resources?"

"Here, take these Dao Soldiers, try to see if you can refine them into your body!"

Zhou Hai laughed, saying others had no resources was one thing, but saying he had no resources? What a joke?

Seven years of system sign-ins, he had no less than a hundred Imperial Weapons, and these low-level divine weapons were countless.

The so-called Hundred Refinements Emperor Sutra was about cultivating oneself in the manner of forging weapons.

Once the technique was practiced, it could devour other weapons to strengthen oneself, until finally, one became an unparalleled divine weapon, truly unmatched in the heavens and earth!

However, to Zhou Hai, these weapons were like grains of sand, but in the eyes of others, they were incredible treasures.

Taking the storage bag Zhou Hai tossed over, Chen Bei looked inside and gasped.

"Dao Soldiers? At least a thousand?"

He was stunned, were Dao Soldiers so worthless now?
