"The great man has transformed into a tiger, and his patterns are brilliant... This refers to the tiger tally, whose spine pattern resembles lightning, and whose eyes are inlaid with glass, symbolizing the 'eyes of the warlord'..." Wan Ze slowly spoke.

The others were stunned.

Professor Song was clearly interested in this: "You've also studied history?"

"It was mentioned in the textbook," Wan Ze replied.

Professor Song was taken aback.

Looking at his two students... "You learned this in high school too?"

However, upon seeing the students' expressions, Professor Song understood... indeed, there is a gap between geniuses and ordinary people.

"The Tiger Tally is extremely important to a dynasty. Professor Song only has one of them?" Wan Ze asked.

"right."

"Perhaps the Secret Palace already has another one... Senior Brother, it's up to you to interrogate it now," Wan Ze said, standing up.

"No problem... Wait, what are you going to do?" Lei Ming asked hurriedly.

"I'll go for a walk and clear my head."

Wan Ze left without looking back.

Lei Ming was taken aback, but didn't think much of it. He rolled up his sleeves and patted the tall, thin man's face: "Young man, wake up, the quiz with prizes is starting."

……

Wan Ze walked slowly in the night.

I glanced at the data frame below my retina...

[Illustrated Guide: Shadow Step] (Beginner level already mastered)

[Intermediate skill level requirement: Walking 50000 meters] (49921/5)

……

moment.

Data frame update.

[Illustrated Guide: Shadow Step] (Intermediate Level Mastered)

[Effect: Agility +0.01]

[Advanced skill requirements: Walk 10 meters and successfully dodge one attack]

Wan Ze slowly withdrew his gaze.

Keep walking briskly.

Until Professor Song's student came looking for him: "...Master Wan, Master Lei wants you to come over."

"Have you finished the investigation?" Wan Ze asked casually.

"It's out, it's out, but..." the man said hesitantly.

"Just what?" Wan Ze looked over.

The man smiled wryly and said, "They say that if the two tigers come together, there might be clues to the imperial tomb. My teacher is really excited now."

"..."

Oh, an imperial tomb? Then he's not surprised at all!

Wan Ze pushed open the door and entered, just in time to see Lie Hu turn his head and grin at him. Immediately afterward, he was knocked unconscious by Lei Ming's hand chop.

"..."

"Aze, you've come at the right time. This is absolutely outrageous. The people from the Secret Palace want to combine the Tiger Talisman and go looking for the Emperor's Tomb, probably because they think there are Qi Refiners' cultivation techniques inside." Lei Ming said quickly.

Before Wan Ze could speak, Professor Song hurriedly said, "Master Lei, Master Wan... I need your help. No matter the cost... I must find the Imperial Tomb!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Ming's face turned green, but he still patiently explained, "Professor Song, I'm not trying to provoke you, but do you know who these people who stole your Tiger Tally are? Even I, if I really ran into a master from their organization... would be doomed. You want us to steal the Tiger Tally, it's no different from courting death."

Upon hearing this, Professor Song's face immediately darkened, and he looked somewhat disappointed: "Even you can't do it?"

Wan Ze then asked Lei Ming, "Was the woman who snatched Zhe Yuling at Lingyun Manor also an assassin from their Secret Palace?"

"No." Lei Ming shook his head: "The Secret Palace thinks that the Folding Rain Bell is just bait released by the Heavenly Harmony Palace to avoid disaster. They are not very interested... Maybe the Secret Palace already had the Folding Rain Bell, but found it useless and threw it away."

Wan Ze nodded, showing little interest in these legends.

Firstly, he lacked the ability to decipher it, and secondly, with his current skills, trying to snatch such a hot potato would be tantamount to courting death.

He looked at Professor Song and asked, "Professor Song, what are your plans?"

"Cooperation!" Professor Song said firmly, "The existence of the Imperial Mausoleum is not just a simple research topic; it involves the six thousand years of history and civilization of our East Sea Federation... If the Secret Palace's guess is correct, I am willing to cooperate with them."

Lei Ming was stunned, then quickly said, "No, do you know how ruthless those people are?"

Professor Song looked over, his gaze calm: "Having experienced something like this, I can see to some extent what's going on, but... that's an imperial tomb! It's the first peak of our East Sea civilization. If we can truly find the imperial tomb, then all the overseas blockades against our East Sea civilization will be utterly ineffective! Master Lei, I'm searching for the imperial tomb not for myself!"

After saying that, he looked at his two students: "I've made up my mind. You two will leave my research group, and I will personally arrange for you to be senior professors at the National University of Singapore..."

"Teacher!" The two students panicked immediately.

But Professor Song had made up his mind. He looked at Lei Ming and Wan Ze and said, "I may have to trouble the Dragon Eagle Martial Arts Academy to step in. Of course... I will not shortchange you on the consultation fee."

"Old Song, you're being way too impatient..." Lei Ming said, both amused and exasperated.

He looked at Wanze, instinctively wanting to hear what his junior brother had to say.

"Tell Master about the Secret Palace first, and let him decide... Professor Song, I understand your feelings, but this matter needs careful consideration." Wan Ze looked at the man lying on the ground and kicked his butt. "Alright, stop pretending to be dead. Professor Song is an expert in this field. Even if you get the Tiger Tally, you may not understand the story inside. Do you want to cooperate and talk to your boss about it?"

Playing dead?

Professor Song's two students, who were still grieving the loss of their teacher, immediately took a few steps back upon hearing this.

Liehu sighed inwardly, opened his eyes, met Wanze's dark eyes, and awkwardly laughed, "I didn't expect you to find out after all. By the way, brother, are you interested in joining our Secret Palace?"

Wan Ze raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lei Ming rushed forward, ready to beat the guy up: "Damn it, my junior brother is a model student, what kind of secret palace is he supposed to enter?!"

Wan Ze: "..."

Fierce Fox: "..."

Professor Song: "..."

"A model student? Hah." Liehu didn't believe for a second that a ruthless killer could be a model student.

But... a student? What the heck? Shouldn't they be model citizens?

However, he was too lazy to think about these things. He looked at Professor Song at the back of the crowd and grinned, "To be honest, I didn't expect things to develop to this point..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lei Ming interrupted impatiently.

Liehu chuckled and shrugged, saying, "I can't make that decision."

"Since that's the case, then I can't let you live." Wan Ze suddenly said coldly.

Liehu's hair stood on end: "Hey buddy, don't be so murderous, okay? We've never had a grudge against each other."

"No enmity? Your Secret Palace tried to kill me twice, and you don't consider that enmity?" Wan Ze sneered.

Liehu said with a bitter face, "It's not that I'm a bad guy, you don't understand our organization. Although I don't know why you're being hunted by the Secret Palace, we in the Secret Palace each act on our own and don't cooperate with each other... And if you ask me, if the Secret Palace really wants to hunt someone down, they will not stop until they die. It's impossible that they let you go until today. So it's very likely that it's a personal grudge between you and someone in the Secret Palace."

Wan Ze ignored his explanations and said only one sentence: "Cooperate, and you live. Don't cooperate, and your companions will accompany you on your journey to the underworld."

Holy crap!

This is what a model student is? He's always threatening to kill me, how can he be a model student?!

Fierce Fox was furious, but dared not retaliate. He could only take a deep breath and force himself to remain calm, saying, "Actually, cooperation isn't out of the question, but you have to let me confirm first that the other Tiger Seal is truly in your hands! Otherwise... even if you kill me, it won't do you any good."
