I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Mo Tianji was also taken aback upon hearing this.

Then, as if he had thought of something interesting, a sly smile appeared on his lips.

"Xiao Su, you specifically told me about this, so the higher-ups must have made a decision, right?"

Mo Tianji looked at Su Ya:

"Since Lin Yuan is not suitable to be a trainee, do you want him to be an instructor?"

Su Ya nodded, a sly glint in her eyes:

"That's right, I want him to be involved in the management of this military training as a specially appointed teaching assistant."

"Responsible for training the most unruly and difficult freshmen!"

"Let him go and show those self-important geniuses what true despair is!"

"Moreover," Suya added, "this can also be considered a different kind of experience for him. After all, he is a future leader."

"Just being good at fighting isn't enough; he also needs to learn how to lead troops. We're currently planning to build his prestige."

At this point, Su Ya paused, "Actually, he had already built up a lot of prestige during the college entrance examination abyss attack incident."

"Ordinary test takers who had experienced life and death blindly worshipped him."

"However, there is another group of people, those top geniuses who do not need to take the college entrance examination and are directly admitted to universities."

"They hadn't witnessed Lin Yuan's terror firsthand, so they were somewhat resentful."

Suddenly, Su Ya seemed to remember something happy and couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "Oh right, Mr. Mo, I forgot to tell you some good news."

"This time, because of Lin Yuan, the little princess of the Ji family who had already been chosen by the Imperial Academy has been replaced."

"And that guy from Shanghai who calls himself the 'Child of Holy Light' actually rejected his original acceptance letter and is determined to come to our War Academy!"

Su Ya beamed with pride: "This means our War Academy has completely outshone the Imperial Capital Academy!"

"You didn't see the faces of those old guys at the Beijing admissions office. They looked like they'd swallowed a fly. It was hilarious! They even called to complain, hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianji raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Oh?"

"I've also heard of that kid from Shanghai. He's the prodigy of the Ye family, who awakened a legendary Holy Light class that doubles his damage against Abyss monsters."

"His passionate personality is actually a good fit for us."

"However," Mo Tianji changed the subject, a hint of surprise in his voice, "that Ji family member in the capital?"

"Ji Qingyue?"

"She is the apple of the Ji family's eye, and she has awakened the legendary profession known as 'Taiyi Sword Immortal,' capable of 'breaking all laws with a single sword'!"

"How could someone of her status possibly convince her overprotective parents to let her suffer in this harsh, cold place like ours?"

"This really surprised me."

The "hardship" that Mo Tianji mentioned did not mean that the facilities at the War Academy were inadequate.

As one of the nation's top universities, the resources here are absolutely top-notch.

However, the War Academy is located in the Northwest, facing the most brutal battlefields of the Abyss.

The school's atmosphere here is one of iron-fisted discipline, brutality, and survival of the fittest.

Unlike the ivory tower-like elite education of universities in the capital, this place is a real meat grinder in preparation.

For a young lady of high birth, this place was indeed a complete "wilderness".

A few days ago, in the capital city, at the Ji family's old residence.

This is a vast Chinese courtyard filled with a profound sense of history.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat somber.

A faint sword intent permeated the hall, causing the surrounding waiters to feel a stinging sensation on their skin.

"Nonsense!!"

A powerful, angry shout shook the teacups on the tea table.

The speaker was a middle-aged man dressed in a Tang suit.

His face was resolute, exuding an imposing aura without anger, and his body emanated a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

It was Ji Longtian, the current head of the Ji family and a renowned powerhouse in China.

Opposite him sat a woman of elegant and noble bearing. She was a senior professor at the Imperial Capital Academy and Ji Qingyue's mother.

At this moment, both of their eyes were focused on the girl standing in the center of the hall.

The girl wore a plain white dress and carried an ancient long sword on her back. She was stunningly beautiful and had a cool and aloof temperament like the moon.

She is like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, noble and inviolable.

"Qingyue."

The mother gently advised, her eyes filled with worry: "I've already arranged everything for you at the Imperial Academy."

"The best swordsmanship instructor, the top-tier spirit-gathering array, the safest secret realm."

"Why do you insist on going to that war academy?"

"It's in the north, the climate is harsh, and it's close to the front lines, so it's too dangerous."

Ji Longtian, with a stern face, replied, "That's right!"

"Our Ji family's roots are all in the capital. If something happens to you at the War Academy, your mother and I won't be able to help!"

"You're our only daughter!"

"I won't allow it!"

Faced with her parents' combined beating, Ji Qingyue simply stood there quietly, her expression calm.

She gently stroked the hilt of the sword behind her back, her voice clear and melodious, yet carrying an unyielding sharpness: "Dad, Mom, I've made up my mind. I'm going to the War Academy."

"For one person."

"For one person."

"people?"

Ji Longtian frowned, and a fatherly murderous aura instantly filled the air: "Which brat is seducing my daughter?! I'll cripple him!"

Ji Qingyue glanced helplessly at her father and shook her head: "It's not that kind of relationship."

"It's Lin Yuan."

Upon hearing this name, Ji Longtian's murderous aura instantly froze.

"Lin Yuan?"

"Is that the kid who saved you guys in the college entrance exam dungeon?"

Ji Qingyue nodded.

The image of that person flashed into her mind; it was the first time she had felt that despairing gap between herself and someone her own age.

But she couldn't feel any jealousy; Lin Yuan's abilities were simply too great.

If it weren't for him, they would almost certainly not have survived that college entrance exam.

Why "almost"?

Because she is a member of the Ji family, she must have some trump card to protect herself.

If she were to encounter a life-or-death crisis and pay a heavy price, she should be able to leave the secret realm.

Of course, she hadn't tried it, and she didn't know if her teleportation methods would also fail in that situation.

"Dad, that was the first time I felt frustrated by someone my age. As a sword cultivator, I have to face it, otherwise it will be detrimental to my future."

"Sword cultivators cultivate a fearless heart."

Ji Qingyue looked directly into her parents' eyes, her tone as firm as iron: "If I stay in the capital and grow up under your wings, the gap between me and Lin Yuan will only widen!"

"I want to go to the War Academy."

"I want to stand beside him and see for myself just how strong he really is!"

Ji Qingyue's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Then, defeat him with my sword!"

"Prove my swordsmanship!"
