•Beast Physique
Since reaching tenth place on the ranking list, Chen Hao has not continued to challenge for a higher ranking.

The top ten students already enjoy extremely generous on-campus resources—including monthly access to the Three-Step Tower training. With Chen Hao's current strength, he is already capable of reaching the third level.

This means that the breakthrough efficiency brought about by the Three-Step Tower training once a month far exceeds the total amount of hard training throughout the entire month!

As a result, Chen Hao's summoning skills have steadily advanced to the third level of the intermediate stage, while his light skills are rapidly approaching the next level—soon, he will also break through the threshold of the third level of the intermediate stage.

……

Time passed slowly, and Tang Yue's special request meant that the main campus assessment was coming soon. This was also a scheme that Mingzhu Academy and the Shanghai Tribunal had jointly set up for Hei Jue Ting.

Despite Chen Hao's protection, Mo Fan still felt a sense of urgency and directly used the Three-Step Tower reward from the Beast Fighting Tournament to raise his cultivation to the mid-stage of the four elements, with his Thunderfire cultivation reaching the second stage of the mid-stage.

The fire-type spirit seed, Rose Flame, was already present, and the lightning-type spirit seed, Thousand Jun, was also successfully acquired, bringing about a qualitative change in their strength.

Dean's Office, Qing Campus.

Pushing open the antique carved wooden door, a warm and jade-like atmosphere wafts out. Incense burners emit wisps of smoke, books are laid out, and array patterns hang on the walls, creating the serene atmosphere of an old scholar who has cultivated himself for many years.

"Dean Xiao," Chen Hao greeted him.

"Please sit down." Dean Xiao put down his teacup, his tone calm and friendly.

Chen Hao gave a slight bow, sat down on the sofa, and casually accepted the tea offered by the dean.

"I heard your forging workshop is doing quite well lately, even the weapon-forging professors at the main campus are inquiring about your throwing weapons," Dean Xiao said with a smile. "You're quite capable for your age." "Dean Xiao, you flatter me. It's just a small operation to accumulate some cultivation resources," Chen Hao replied modestly.

"I've called you here today to ask for your help." Dean Xiao took out a file from under his desk and gently pushed it towards him. "We've received intelligence from the Tribunal—Hei Jue Ting is likely to take action during the main campus assessment. I hope you can disguise yourself as an assessment student and infiltrate the campus to secretly protect the students of the Qing Campus, especially Mo Fan."

Oh wow, two commissions?
Chen Hao raised an eyebrow, not rushing to agree, but instead asking with interest, "Why me? There are so many experts at the main campus, surely there's no shortage of people?"

"To be honest, the Black Jueting is omnipresent, and even Pearl Academy has not been spared. We cannot guarantee that the main campus has not been infiltrated, nor can we rule out the risk of defection."

"And you, from Bo City, with a clean background, have been closely observed by me during this period—you are calm, decisive, measured, and impartial. More importantly, you are a true genius."

Dean Xiao's tone was not harsh, but every word he said hit home.

Chen Hao was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.

Yes, although he was in the academy, he did not truly belong to the academy system. He had no mentors or factional ties, and his cultivation depended entirely on himself.

These are the people you can trust the most, and they're the cleanest.

"So—what are the benefits?" Chen Hao asked casually, his smile undiminished, revealing his true interest.

"I've heard you've been researching array patterns," Dean Xiao said, gently stroking his teacup with a warm smile. "I wonder if you're interested in advanced array patterns?"

Chen Hao was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"What you're learning on your own now is just basic array patterns," Dean Xiao said unhurriedly. "This step isn't difficult; you can get started by simply memorizing the textbook content. But the array knowledge that humanity has accumulated over hundreds of years is far more extensive than this. You absolutely cannot learn the combination methods of many advanced array patterns from the textbook."

He spoke calmly, yet every word was sincere: “Even the advanced courses at the academy only teach some concepts and frameworks. The truly exquisite array formation techniques—such as multi-attribute composite guidance, spirit pattern resonance bridging, and staggered array formations—are the closely guarded secrets of the major powers.”

As he spoke, he raised his finger and gently tapped it, causing the copper kettle on the coffee table to slowly float up, spin once in the air, and then land steadily. Fine light patterns appeared on the surface of the kettle, forming a miniature array for maintaining a constant temperature, seamlessly integrated into the vessel as if it were created by nature.

“Array masters are different from other magic professions. The later you get, the more you need to build up your foundation and experience. If no one guides you through the process and you have to rely on dismantling and reconstructing arrays on your own, you may never be able to reach the true top level in your entire life.”

He paused, then looked up at Chen Hao.

"I can teach you."

These words, spoken very softly, struck Chen Hao's heart like a morning bell and evening drum.

—A promise made by a forbidden spell array master.

A glint flashed in Chen Hao's eyes, and without any hesitation, he immediately stood up to perform a full kneeling bow: "Master, please accept my bow!"

However, as soon as he bent his knees, he felt as if his knees were being held up by an invisible force, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not kneel down even an inch.

"What era are we living in? Still using this old tricks?" Dean Xiao chuckled, his tone gentle yet firm. "I've been teaching for many years, and I've taught at least fifty to a hundred students specializing in formations. Between us, we can simply address each other as teacher and student."

Dean Xiao said calmly, raising his hand to push a scroll to the edge of the table.

“Here are several sets of array blueprints, and a encrypted array pattern notebook. If you are really interested, start with this Three-Phase Flow Guiding Array.” He paused. “Although this array is advanced, its principles are clear and its structure is well-organized, making it most suitable as an introductory training array.”

Chen Hao's eyes sharpened, and he respectfully accepted the scroll, scanning the line of pale gold characters on the cover: "Introduction to Composite Arrays - Annotated by Xiao Bingsen".

"Thank you, teacher," he said solemnly.

"Go ahead, I'll arrange your change of status. Also, this assessment is not only an opportunity but also a test. If you do well, the academy will reward you."
