Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 123 Summoning Again, Yan Boshan's Plan
Above the Jixia Academy, apart from the spatial rift that had not yet fully healed and the few remaining particles of sacred energy in the air, everything seemed to have returned to calm.

But within the branch, a tremendous storm raged in the hearts of every student, and it took a long time to calm down.

"We won...we won..."

"We...we drove the divine messenger away!"

After a brief silence, thunderous cheers erupted within the workshop!

The young students were so excited that their faces turned red. They rushed forward and surrounded their mentor Mozi and Master Lu Ban, their eyes filled with fervent worship and admiration!
That is God!
Although he was just a divine messenger, the divine pressure emanating from him was real and undeniable!
Before the two mentors, before that intelligent and creative mechanical soul tool, the so-called divine messenger was nothing more than a powerful energy body that could be calculated, analyzed, and ultimately defeated!

"Hahaha, you bunch of brats, what's all the excitement about!" Master Lu Ban, surrounded by the crowd, beamed with joy. He proudly waved the few energy fragments emitting a faint glow in his hand. "Look closely, this is what you call divine power! Although the structure is exquisite and the energy purity is high, it still has to obediently become chaotic in front of my 'Magnetic Storm Shock Ball', doesn't it?"

Mozi remained calm and composed. He walked up to Huo Yuhao, his electronic eyes, flashing with rune-like light, carefully examining the young man who had just made a great contribution.

"Huo Yuhao." Mozi's voice was emotionless, yet it made Huo Yuhao's heart leap into his throat.

"Disciple is here!" Huo Yuhao quickly bowed and greeted them, his heart filled with trepidation.

“Your observation just now was very accurate,” Mozi said slowly. “Your eyes possess a talent that is unparalleled by ordinary people in discerning energy flow and structural weaknesses.”

He paused, then continued, "From today onward, you will no longer need to participate in the basic inscription and assembly courses. You will directly enter my core research lab as my observation assistant, responsible for analyzing the energy circuit stability of all new soul tools."

Upon hearing this, all the freshmen around Huo Yuhao cast envious glances at him.

Entering Professor Mozi's core research lab?!
That is where the highest secrets of mechanical arts are held in the entire branch, and even the entire Jixia Academy!
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao trembled with excitement. He never expected that his seemingly useless Spirit Eye Martial Soul would receive such high regard here!

"Thank you, Master Mozi! This disciple...this disciple will certainly live up to your expectations!" He bowed deeply, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

……

Just as the Jixia Academy was riding high on morale and its people were united after defeating the divine messenger.

Far away on the other side of the continent, inside the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed to drip water.

"Divine power...it's definitely divine power!"

An elderly man from the Sea God Pavilion, with white hair and beard, spoke solemnly, his cloudy old eyes filled with surprise and unease.

"That energy fluctuation, though it only lasted for a short moment, was of extraordinary strength and divine aura! Moreover, the source of the fluctuation came from the northwest, to the region where the Holy Grace Kingdom is located!"

Upon hearing this, Dean Yan Shaozhe's expression turned even more grim.

He had just returned from the Kingdom of Holy Grace and was filled with deep apprehension towards the mysterious Lord of Yao, Ming Shiyin, and the unfathomable Jixia Academy behind him.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had I left than there was a commotion of gods-level experts fighting!
"Could it be... that Jixia Academy is really connected to the God Realm? Or is it that they... have become powerful enough to contend with the gods?!" Another elder also offered his speculation, his tone filled with disbelief.

"Whichever it is, it is by no means a good thing for us or for the entire continent."

Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice, "An uncontrollable force with unfathomable strength is like a sword hanging over our heads, which could fall at any moment."

Just as everyone was discussing and feeling uneasy.

Old Master Xuan, who had been resting with his eyes closed as if asleep, finally slowly opened his seemingly cloudy but actually all-seeing eyes.

"What's the noise about?"

His aged and hoarse voice rang out, instantly silencing the entire Sea God Pavilion.

"What's the point of speculating and conjecturing about the truth of the matter here?"

Elder Xuan stood up unsteadily, picked up the huge gourd beside him, took a big gulp, and showed a hint of impatience on his face.

"Young Yan, didn't you say before that the Jixia Academy proposed to have some kind of... teacher-student exchange program with us?" "Yes... yes, Elder Xuan." Yan Shaozhe quickly and respectfully replied.

"Hmph, since they dare to bring it up, it means they're not afraid of us going to see it." Old Xuan curled his lip, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes that didn't match his lazy appearance.

"Instead of scaring myself here, I'd rather... go and do it myself."

"Let's go and see for ourselves what this so-called Jixia Academy is all about, and what kind of nonsense it's up to!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe and the others were all taken aback.

Elder Xuan is going to personally take action?!
It should be noted that Elder Xuan, as the guardian deity of Shrek Academy and the pillar of the Sea God Pavilion, rarely takes action.

The last time he personally left the academy was decades ago, in order to hunt down a certain evil spirit master who was wreaking havoc on the continent.

Now, he's actually deciding to go there personally for the sake of the Jixia Academy?!
"Elder Xuan, this matter... is absolutely unacceptable!" Yan Shao Zhe hurriedly advised, "The Jixia Academy is unfathomable; your trip here..."

"Alright." Elder Xuan waved his hand impatiently, interrupting him. "I've lived for so many years, what storms haven't I seen? It's just a secretive academy, what can it possibly do to cause trouble?"

"That's settled then."

Elder Xuan's voice was unquestionable.

"I'd like to see what they're really up to!"

New King's Continent, Jixia Academy.

Yan Boshan had already seen through the Ark Core the full extent of Shrek Academy's reaction on the Douluo Continent side.

"Elder Xuan? Heh... He's quite an interesting old fellow."

Yan Boshan's lips curled up slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

He knew that although this guardian of Shrek Academy seemed crazy and addicted to alcohol, his resilience, strength, and deep-seated love for Shrek far surpassed that of people like Yan Shaozhe.

His personal visit to test the waters was, in a way, a great show of respect to Ji.

In that case, we should send someone of sufficient importance and "specialness" to receive this distinguished guest who has come from afar.

Yan Boshan's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, while the pantheon of heroes from the King's Continent rapidly swirled in his mind.

To deal with an old monster like Elder Xuan who has lived for hundreds of years, simply intimidating him with strength might not be very effective, and might even provoke his rebellious mentality.

What's needed is a... more sophisticated, and more subtle approach.

A special power that can reveal the profound knowledge of Jixia Academy in casual conversation and demonstrate the demeanor of a king in a stroke of the pen...

After a moment's thought, a glint flashed in Yan Boshan's eyes, and he had already made his decision.

"Ark, summon—Shangguan Wan'er."

With his command, the immense power of destiny surged once again within the core of the ark.

This time, what emerged from the summoning circle was neither the murderous aura of war nor the cold radiance of mechanical creations.

Rather, it is a kind of...literati elegance, full of the fragrance of poetry and calligraphy, and the spirit of flowing brushstrokes.

The light dissipated.

A woman dressed in a long blue dress, holding a scroll and an ink brush, with exquisite features and an elegant demeanor, appeared quietly inside the Hall of Creation.

It was indeed a stroke of genius—Shangguan Wan'er!
