My Mysterious Left Hand

Chapter 125 The Shocks at Yanhuang Academy

The atmosphere in the square was deathly silent for a moment, then erupted into a clamor.

Dozens of auras belonging to the Cave Heaven Realm intertwined and spread, like invisible waves sweeping out, pressing down on many students with shallow cultivation, causing them to breathe rapidly and turn pale.

More than two months have passed, and Yanhuang Academy has clearly opened the Pioneer Star to more students.

Therefore, there are already many students on Pioneer Star.

Those teachers and students who were originally just curious onlookers now had disbelief in their eyes.

Many of them recognized the faces in the group.

Yang Qingsong, Xiao Qingyi, Zhou Wenyuan, Lin Xiaoyu, and others.

When they left two months ago, the strongest of these people were only at the Body Tempering Realm or the Tendon Changing Realm.

Now, however, each of them exudes an aura as deep as the sea, with faint phantom images of grotto heavens flowing around them, a phenomenon only grotto heaven supreme beings possess!

"Yang Qingsong—you, you've broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm?!"

A middle-aged mentor's voice trembled; he knew Yang Qingsong.

Yang Qingsong smiled slightly, concealing most of his aura, yet a faint, yet unmistakable, pressure still emanated from him.

He stepped forward: "We've managed a breakthrough, by sheer luck."

His words were humble, but the perfect aura of the seventh realm of the Cave Heaven secretly startled the surrounding instructors.

This is no "luck" at all; it is clearly the pinnacle of the Cave Heaven Realm!

Xiao Qingyi stood beside Yang Qingsong, her blue robe fluttering, her eyes sparkling like stars.

She did not deliberately reveal her cultivation level, but the occasional wisp of energy she released made the students nearby feel that the source energy in their meridians was sluggish.

Several girls who knew her couldn't help but exclaim in whispers, "Qingyi, what level have you reached now? We can't see through you at all—"

Xiao Qingyi said softly, "The seventh realm of the Cave Heaven. We are all at this realm now."

If it weren't for the limitations imposed by the planetary defense array on Moon Spring Star, they might have already reached the Human King realm.

"Seventh level of the Cave Heaven Realm—and it's only been two months!"

A boy cried out, his face flushed red, "I just broke through to the Blade Cleansing Marrow Realm, I thought it would be quick, but you guys..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood the shock and resentment he felt.

Time is the fairest yet cruelest measure for spiritual practitioners.

But for Li Chen, this standard was completely shattered.

The time flow rate on Moon Spring Star is 365 times that of Moon Spring Star. These two months are 60 days to the outside world, but they are a full sixty years to those students!

One of the instructors asked, "Are you all adjusting well over there?"

"Moon Spring Star is rich in spiritual energy, and with the nourishment of Master Li Chen's Daoist aura, cultivation is indeed twice as effective with half the effort."

Yang Qingsong laughed and said, "We also opened up spirit fields and planted some spirit rice."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a small bag of rice grains. The rice grains were pale gold and faintly shrouded in spiritual energy.

A collective gasp filled the air around them.

This quality of spiritual rice costs at least 500 contribution points per pound on the Yanhuang Academy's exchange list!

More students gathered around, bombarding him with questions.

"I heard from people who came back before that a year there is only a day outside? Is that true?"

"Did you see Teacher Li Chen make a move? Just how strong is he?"

"I heard there are also indigenous people? What do they look like?"

Yang Qingsong, as the class monitor, gave a brief explanation.

He said calmly, "The flow of time is indeed like that. The indigenous people look similar to us, but their cultivation systems are slightly different, and some tribes still retain ancient sacrificial rites."

A bold student pushed his way to the front and asked expectantly, "Senior Yang, are you guys capable of beating the university's professors right now?"

The question was so direct that the expressions on the faces of the nearby instructors immediately became somewhat subtle.

Yang Qingsong coughed lightly, about to give a tactful reply, when a clear laugh suddenly came from the side: "Not only the mentors, but I'm afraid even the vice principal and I might not be a match for these kids."

Everyone turned around and saw that Qin Xiaotian had been standing outside the crowd at some point.

He was actually dressed in ancient costume, a plain white robe.

His gaze swept over Yang Qingsong and the others, his eyes showing both satisfaction and undisguised amazement.

He rushed over after receiving a telepathic message from Li Chen, but when he actually saw the group of students, he was still deeply moved.

In just two months, he was completely transformed. This cannot be summed up by the word "chance". He was practically pushed onto the road to heaven!

"headmaster!"

The students bowed in greeting.

Qin Xiaotian waved his hand, walked up to Yang Qingsong, carefully sensed him for a moment, and sighed, "A supreme being of the Cave Heaven, with a flawless and harmonious aura, and an incredibly solid foundation—Teacher Li Chen has truly given me a great surprise."

Yang Qingsong respectfully replied, "We students will never forget the kindness of the academy in nurturing us."

Qin Xiaotian shook his head: "It was Li Chen who cultivated you; the academy doesn't have that kind of ability."

He paused, then looked at everyone: "Where is Teacher Li Chen?"

"After the teacher brought us back, he left with Senior Sister Xin Zhirou, seemingly having something to do," Xiao Qingyi replied.

Qin Xiaotian nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.

Li Chen's actions have always been unconventional, and it's already quite an achievement for him to show his face.

He turned from the light to the simply dressed indigenous people who had returned with the students, and said gently, "You have come from afar, please come with me to settle in. The academy has prepared accommodations, and if you need anything in the future, you can come directly to me."

Aya, Shifeng, and other indigenous people were a bit reserved, but seeing Qin Xiaotian's kind attitude, they gradually relaxed.

Zhou Wenyuan explained to Aya in a low voice, "This is the principal of the university. He has a very high position, but he is a very nice person."

Aya gave a soft "hmm," but her fingers secretly hooked onto Zhou Wenyuan's sleeve.

Qin Xiaotian took in all of this, a smile flashing across his eyes, but he didn't say much. He simply instructed the instructors to guide everyone to their temporary residence.

After the crowd gradually dispersed, he said to Yang Qingsong and a few other core students, "Come with me."

Inside the principal's office, Qin Xiaotian personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea, its fragrant aroma carrying a calming and soothing effect.

Yang Qingsong, Xiao Qingyi, Zhou Wenyuan and the other three sat upright in the guest seats, their posture respectful, yet without the slightest hint of timidity.

More than fifty years of experience have tempered their temperament, allowing them to remain calm and composed even when facing the head of a school.

"Tell me about it."

Qin Xiaotian put down the teapot, his gaze deep: "Just what kind of place is Moon Spring Star? How does Teacher Li Chen usually teach you?"

Yang Qingsong pondered for a moment, then said, "Moon Spring Star—it's less of a planet and more of Master Li Chen's Daoist temple. The rules of the entire star seem to be under his control; the concentration of spiritual energy increases continuously over time. When we left, many places had already developed natural spiritual springs and mineral veins."

"In terms of cultivation, teachers rarely impart knowledge directly; they mostly leave behind Daoist principles and arrange the environment."

Xiao Qingyi continued, "We spend most of our time exploring and learning from each other. In fact, most of the time, we cultivate on our own, and the teacher rarely gives us any special guidance."

Even so, she did not think Li Chen was incompetent at all.
