"Okay, Dean." Kou Chengzhi took a deep breath and glanced at the elders of the Illusory Sky Academy beside him with ill intentions.
"Are the people from the Illusory Sky Academy here?" Che Zhengkun, the dean of the Mountain and Sea Academy, wasn't here in person, but he knew exactly what kind of place the Illusory Sky Academy was.
After all, a genius who could catch his attention must have activated some extremely difficult tasks in the trials that no one had accomplished in thousands of years.
"Don't worry, Dean. I'll keep the person here and won't let the people from the Illusory Sky Academy succeed," Kou Chengzhi promised.
Che Zhengkun pondered for a moment. "Get the Law Enforcement Hall involved. I'm tied up at the moment."
As he finished speaking, Che Zhengkun's aura disappeared.
Kou Chengzhi knew that the dean was at a critical moment of his secluded cultivation. He needed to plan carefully.
If Feng Yuqin really wanted to go with the people from the Illusory Sky Academy, what bargaining chips could they use to keep her?
While thinking like this, Kou Chengzhi started to communicate with Liu Yu through divine sense.
"I've just discussed with the hall master. He'll help at the critical moment," Liu Yu's words made Kou Chengzhi heave a sigh of relief.
Now, they just had to wait for Feng Yuqin to come out.
"Aqin, are you an alchemist?" Dong Yaxian finally asked the question she had been holding back for a long time after Feng Yuqin finished answering the questions.
She had wanted to ask right after Feng Yuqin finished, but Feng Yuqin didn't give her a chance and went to help Zhao Yuanyuan. So she swallowed her question.
Now that the question - answering session was over, she finally asked.
"Yes," Feng Yuqin didn't deny it.
"Why are you so good at cultivation too?" Zhao Yuanyuan said with a mournful face. "You're younger than us, but you're proficient in cultivation, alchemy, and weapon - refining. If you tell me one day that you're good at formations, I probably won't be surprised."
People outside heard this and mocked. "Is this Zhao Yuanyuan stupid? What's she talking about? Proficient in formations? Is Feng Yuqin not human?"
"Right. It's already amazing to achieve what she has. Formations? Does she really think formations are that easy?"
"Let's go out," Feng Yuqin didn't mention anything about formations but changed the topic.
After all, there were so many people watching outside. She had already been very high - profile for the reward. She didn't want to stay here and arouse more curiosity.
They were now at the last stage of the trial.
After going out, they didn't return to the entrance of the gravity level but were directly transported to a square in the Mountain and Sea Academy through a formation.
As soon as Feng Yuqin appeared, Kou Chengzhi and the others, as well as the elders of the Illusory Sky Academy, immediately came over.
"Your face..." Zhao Yuanyuan was about to say something.
Previously, they hadn't seen Feng Yuqin's full face because her veil covered most of it, only showing half of her nose bridge and a pair of eyes.
But they all knew that with those bright eyes and white teeth, she was very likely to be a great beauty.
Now, seeing her full face, they found that Feng Yuqin's appearance was astonishing.
Hearing Zhao Yuanyuan's words, Dong Yaxian looked at Feng Yuqin's face and was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
"A... Aqin, you're so beautiful..." Dong Yaxian stammered.
Feng Yuqin frowned and subconsciously touched her face. Only then did she find that the veil she had used a little trick to put on her face was gone.
Even when fighting with the monsters before, the veil hadn't fallen off. So she thought it would always be there.
But unexpectedly, it disappeared here.
"This square is also a formation..." At first, Feng Yuqin thought it was an ordinary formation.
But now she found that this formation was not ordinary. It could remove all illusions. Even if someone was in disguise, they would show their true face here.
Hearing her words, Zhao Yuanyuan finally came back to her senses from Feng Yuqin's peerless beauty.
"Yes. After all, finishing the trial means you can enter the Mountain and Sea Academy. Since you're entering the academy, all false appearances will disappear," Zhao Yuanyuan said. "Otherwise, if some evil - doers or people who are against the Mountain and Sea Academy sneak in quietly, the academy will be in chaos."
"Yeah," Feng Yuqin replied indifferently.
She had guessed some things before. She couldn't be in disguise forever after entering the academy. So she was mentally prepared. She just paused for a moment and then returned to normal.
"Aqin, did you deliberately cover your face because you're too beautiful?" Dong Yaxian was extremely envious when she saw Feng Yuqin's face.
She was simply too beautiful. Her skin was also good. She was more beautiful than the most beautiful women in the Divine Realm.
In the Divine Realm, Dong Yaxian had seen many beautiful women. There were even some in the Illusory Sky Academy who claimed to be the most beautiful women in the Divine Realm.
Now, after seeing Feng Yuqin's appearance, Dong Yaxian thought those so - called beautiful women would look like maids in front of Feng Yuqin.
Soon, many other students from the Mountain and Sea Academy gathered below. When they saw Feng Yuqin's face, they were all stunned.
Even Kou Chengzhi and the others were amazed by her beauty when they came over. Kou Chengzhi even said, "She could rely on her beauty, but she chooses to rely on her talent and hard work."
He didn't think Feng Yuqin's abilities were only due to talent. Without hard work, it was absolutely impossible to reach this level.
A flash of amazement crossed Zhai Gaoyang's eyes. He couldn't even wait for Kou Chengzhi to speak and took the lead. "Feng Yuqin, I'm the weapon - refining elder of the Illusory Sky Academy. I know you're a weapon - refiner. Welcome to our Illusory Sky Academy. I can take you as my disciple and spare no effort to cultivate you."
Kou Chengzhi didn't expect Zhai Gaoyang to start poaching people before he even had a chance to speak. His face darkened menacingly.
Just as he was about to speak, Feng Yuqin spoke first. "The Illusory Sky Academy? Didn't I come to the Mountain and Sea Academy? Did I go to the wrong place?"
It was no wonder she had such doubts. She was not familiar with the Divine Realm and thought she had entered the territory of the Illusory Sky Academy after coming out of the trial.
"You're in the right place," Kou Chengzhi quickly said. "This is the Mountain and Sea Academy. The people from the Illusory Sky Academy just came to see your trial."
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin immediately understood. The people from the Illusory Sky Academy weren't here to watch the trial. They were here to poach people from the Mountain and Sea Academy.
They came to poach people right in the academy and even took the initiative like uninvited guests.
Feng Yuqin, who already had a bad impression of the Illusory Sky Academy, now had an even worse one. So she was merciless when she spoke. "Sorry, I've chosen the Mountain and Sea Academy and haven't considered going to the Illusory Sky Academy."
