"Don't worry. Since she's made her choice, she'll surely succeed," Elder Kou said with a gentle smile as his gaze fell upon Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian. "These two kids are really lucky."
"Because they're with Feng Yuqin?" Dean Shang raised an eyebrow.
"Who else could it be?" Elder Kou retorted. "They're smart. After getting to know Feng Yuqin, they knew to get closer to her. As long as they keep treating her sincerely, just wait and see. When they come back, their strength will surely skyrocket."
Dean Shang glanced at Feng Yuqin, thinking about all her actions.
Indeed, she had a rather efficient way of handling things.
At least she could take on tasks as quickly as possible without any waste.
After the three of them finished their business in the mission hall, they left.
Only after they had left did the others start to discuss Feng Yuqin.
"Who on earth is Feng Yuqin? How come she even knows Elder Kou?"
"I'm not sure. I only heard about what happened to her in the dormitory area, and it even got to the law - enforcement hall."
"Really? What happened in the dormitory area that it got to the law - enforcement hall?"
Those who knew the story told it.
After hearing it, the first reaction of many was, "Feng Yuqin is such a troublemaker, isn't she? Wherever she goes, there's always some commotion."
"I think so too. This is really not good," said someone, perhaps out of jealousy that Feng Yuqin dared to do what they didn't.
They were annoyed after hearing about her deeds but didn't dare to provoke her.
Dean Shang and Elder Kou didn't react to these discussions.
After all, they had been through the same when they were young.
There were always people around who were jealous of others for achieving what they couldn't.
"Why does she enter the academy but not attend classes and rush out to do tasks instead? For points and promotion?" Dean Shang thought for a moment.
Elder Kou gave Dean Shang a speechless look. "Have you been out of touch with academy affairs for so long that you're too lazy to think about such things?"
Dean Shang was stunned. "You don't mean... she wants to go to the extraterritorial battlefield?"
Elder Kou let out a cold snort.
"Isn't this a bit too hasty?" Dean Shang frowned. "The extraterritorial battlefield is extremely dangerous."
Although Dean Shang was in the Nine Heavens, he often went to the extraterritorial battlefield.
So he was very aware of the harsh environment there.
Many people in the special - level class, not to mention those in the junior class, or even the senior class, needed to improve their strength and skills before they could go to the extraterritorial battlefield.
"She knows what she's doing," Elder Kou knew a bit about Feng Yuqin.
Every action of hers had a purpose.
Hearing this, Dean Shang was also looking forward to Feng Yuqin's next performance.
"I'll go to the extraterritorial battlefield again," Dean Shang sighed. "It'll soon be the academy's turn to send people there."
Normally, in such a situation, the academy's in - charge had to go there.
"I'll take care of the academy. You can go and do your business," Elder Kou knew the current situation was tense.
If the extraterritorial battlefield fell, the entire Divine Realm would be in danger.
...
After leaving the mission hall, Feng Yuqin said to Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian, "We'll be gone for at most a year this time. So I suggest you go back home."
Although the time wasn't long, the mission was quite dangerous.
Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian understood this, so they were willing to go back and tell their families.
Feng Yuqin, on the other hand, went to find Elder Kou.
Elder Kou knew Feng Yuqin would probably come to him, so after chatting with Dean Shang, he went to the meeting hall in the junior - class area.
When he saw Feng Yuqin, Elder Kou without hesitation took out a storage ring. "There are some things in here that you'll need for your mission."
Feng Yuqin took it and scanned it with her spiritual sense. She found that there were many things in it that she didn't have.
To return the favor, Feng Yuqin also gave a gift.
There were Breakthrough Pills and various medicinal pills in it.
When Elder Kou saw the names on the pill bottles, his pupils shrank sharply.
He quickly opened the pill bottle. When he saw that it was indeed a Breakthrough Pill, he looked up at Feng Yuqin. "Where... where did you get the Breakthrough Pill?"
Feng Yuqin glanced at him and said calmly, "I made it myself."
Elder Kou was speechless.
"I've checked your situation. You should really need this Breakthrough Pill," Feng Yuqin said when she saw Elder Kou was too shocked to say anything.
Hearing this, Elder Kou was even more excited and didn't know what to say.
He had been stuck at the peak of the ninth - stage of the Small Perfection for many years.
It was getting harder and harder to break through as one's strength increased.
Someone like Feng Yuqin, who could directly reach the initial stage of the Small Perfection, was probably hard to find in the entire Divine Realm.
Her strength was higher than many of the academy's elders.
The overall strength of the academy's elders was generally between the initial and middle stages of the Small Perfection.
He was at the peak of the ninth - stage of the Small Perfection.
Among the students, most were at the Earth Yuan Realm, and only a few were at the Celestial Immortal Realm.
Feng Yuqin had already reached the Small Perfection. If she didn't show her strength, no one would know.
After all, others couldn't see her true strength.
Actually, according to Feng Yuqin's strength, she could directly go to the extraterritorial battlefield.
But the academy had regulations. Everyone who wanted to go there needed to accumulate points, get promoted, and all these had to be recorded by the academy and announced to everyone.
Otherwise, it would seem unfair to other students.
"I hope that when I come back, you'll have broken through the bottleneck and reached the Great Perfection," Feng Yuqin said with a smile.
"The smartest thing I've ever done in my life was recruiting you to our academy," Elder Kou sighed.
Feng Yuqin smiled. "Actually, I have a purpose for hoping you'll break through."
"The extraterritorial battlefield?" Elder Kou immediately guessed Feng Yuqin's intention.
Feng Yuqin nodded. "We don't know what's going on in the extraterritorial battlefield. If you can break through, it would be great if you could help me scout the way."
After all, when she went to the extraterritorial battlefield, she would be representing the academy.
And among the people in the academy, the one who protected her the most was Elder Kou.
"Actually, Dean Shang has already gone," Elder Kou didn't hide this from Feng Yuqin.
He looked at Feng Yuqin and asked, "What if... I give this Breakthrough Pill to Dean Shang..."
Feng Yuqin didn't expect Elder Kou to give the Breakthrough Pill to someone else.
The Breakthrough Pill wasn't that important to her.
After all, she had spiritual herbs in her space and could refine pills herself.
For others, getting a Breakthrough Pill was extremely difficult, but for her, she could refine one in less than half an hour.
