Zheng Qian carefully examined the paper in his hand. It was indeed ordinary Xuan paper, costing three coins a sheet, with nothing special about it.

When you look at the eight large characters "Exercise privileges, no obstruction allowed," the laws of space leap onto the page, striking straight to your heart.

Unfathomable.

This is Zheng Qian's evaluation of Dean Yun, and Ya Lan also received this evaluation.

Ya Lan not only carried him through the air, but also annihilated 100,000 guards with a single move. She broadened his horizons beyond Wu Yan Kingdom and guided him on his path of cultivation, making her his first and most trusted mentor.

Dean Yun directly displayed the laws of space on the paper for him to observe and comprehend. Although he didn't say anything, he was deeply grateful for the teachings he imparted.

Dean Yun saved Zheng Qian's life in Jinlan City and is now passing on his teachings; this debt of gratitude is immense.

Zheng Qian arrived at the library. The first and second floors contained general knowledge about Guangxiang Kingdom and surrounding countries, as well as some low-level martial arts techniques. Zheng Qian had glanced at some of them yesterday but had no interest in them whatsoever.

He wants to leave Guangxiang Kingdom and go to the higher-level Tianmai Sect to study under a master. Learning about Guangxiang Kingdom and the surrounding countries would only be a waste of his time.

The Gathering of Heroes is divided into three parts: the written test, the martial arts test, and the team battle. The written test is conducted first, followed by the individual martial arts test, and finally the most intense team battle, in which elites from various countries fight as a group.

As soon as Zheng Qian arrived at the library, people began to whisper among themselves.

"Have you heard? Dean Yun is planning to take him on as his apprentice."

"That's impossible. When the Emperor spoke up, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince knelt and prayed at the academy for three days and three nights, but the headmaster still didn't accept them as students."

"He was the only student Dean Yun ever gave special permission to enter the academy as a transfer student. Think about it yourself."

"Now that you mention it, it's quite possible."

Zheng Qian ignored these people and went straight up to the second floor. As soon as he went up to the second floor, he attracted even more attention.

The reason is simple: the books on the second floor are more specialized than those on the first floor, and since they are closer to Yuko's class, they hear more information.

They not only knew that Li Qinghai had been punished by being sent to the back mountain to reflect on his mistakes for a month and was unable to attend the Gathering of Heroes, but they also knew that the academy teachers had been discussing Zheng Qian yesterday and today, and that the dean had personally chosen a courtyard for him to stay in.

This courtyard is located right next to the courtyard where the dean lives.

Several female students' eyes sparkled. To gain the dean's favor and be directly admitted to the elite class, one must be exceptionally outstanding. Gazing at Zheng Qian's handsome face, they unconsciously straightened their backs, pretending to be engrossed in their books, while their peripheral vision was constantly fixed on Zheng Qian.

Come on, sit next to your sister. Let's go eat hot pot. She'll take off her clothes as soon as she gets hot.

Zheng Qian turned the corner without stopping and headed towards the third-floor stairwell.

"No way, he's going to the third floor? Only a select few teachers and those who have made meritorious contributions are allowed to go up to the third floor."

"I think he's just showing off. He'll know how embarrassing he is once Old Man Fan kicks him down."

"Yes, students are not allowed on the third floor; the rule is posted on the wall."

"Is that a rule? Old Man Fan has the worst temper in the academy, that's common knowledge."

The caretaker, an elderly man who had also driven Zheng Qian away yesterday, was currently resting with his eyes closed on a hanging chair next to the stairwell.

To avoid a melodramatic scenario like encountering a hidden master, Zheng Qian politely saluted the old man.

"Teacher, I would like to go to the third floor to look at some books."

The old man glanced at Zheng Qian disdainfully and roared, "Are you blind? Can't you see the rules on the wall? Students can only stay on the first and second floors."

Old Fan's voice instantly attracted the attention of the students on the second floor. They all looked at Zheng Qian with strange expressions.

"That's wishful thinking. Everyone knows that the third and fourth floors contain profound martial arts techniques, but only a select few teachers and those who have made meritorious contributions can go up there. What makes him, a mere student, think he can go up there?"

"Heh, you don't know who he is, do you?"

"who is it?"

"That transfer student in Yuko's class was handpicked by the dean."

"So what if he's handpicked? The rules were still set by the dean. If he wants to go to the third floor, isn't he just asking to be criticized by old man Fan?"

Zheng Qian hadn't expected Old Man Fan to have such a bad temper, but he wasn't angry. He said gently, "Teacher, I have..."

Before he could finish speaking, Old Fan got angry and roared, "Whatever you have, it's useless. Let me tell you, rules are rules. Get out!"

"Hehe, a newbie is a newbie, got scolded, huh?"

“The dean made him a transfer student, and he thought the academy belonged to him.”

"Zheng Qian is so handsome, even when he's being criticized, he's still handsome."

"Stop being a fangirl, okay? He's not just handsome, he's incredibly handsome."

Zheng Qian said coldly, "If you won't listen to my nice words, then I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore."

He pulled out the eight large characters written by the dean and shoved them at Old Man Fan's face.

"What the hell..." Old Man Fan instinctively wanted to roar, but then he noticed that the paper stated "Exercising special privileges, no obstruction allowed." Below the eight characters on the paper was the dean's seal.

Strangely, Zheng Qian looked at it many times, but he couldn't find the dean's seal; he only saw the eight characters.

Old Fan's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the paper. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the paper again.

Sharp strokes, an ineffable charm.

There's no mistake, it's the dean's handwriting.

Moreover, no one dares to forge the dean's seal without permission.

Standing up abruptly, Old Man Fan stopped shouting and said softly, "East, the east is where the sun rises, just like students, they are the hope of the country and the hope of the academy. Time is money, don't waste your time reading. Quickly, go up to the third floor, please go up to the third floor."

After Old Man Fan finished speaking, he even made a gesture of invitation, with a fawning look in his eyes.

"Holy crap, is this for real? Old Man Fan actually let Zheng Qian go up there."

"Are you blind? That's not letting him go up, it's clearly inviting him up."

"Do you think the dean really doesn't want to take Zheng Qian as his apprentice?"

As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.

For the dean to accept a disciple is such a great honor.

The third floor is quieter than the first and second floors; there is no one there except for books.

Separated by the staircase, the left side contains books on cultivation, and the right side contains books on soul masters. Each area is labeled for easy reference by the teachers.

Fan Tielan is a Soul Master. When she fought the Four Sons, she used a Soul Array Weaving move. Although Zheng Qian never said anything, he was still very envious.

Especially when Van Tienlan fights, the lightning from her hammer will also be accompanied by lightning, just like a Saiyan, making her both domineering and cool.

Soul Masters are a group of powerful individuals who can communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, use their souls as a guide, control elements, summon spirit beasts, and even distort space and time. The cultivation techniques they practice are both mysterious secrets inherited from ancient times and the crystallization of their own comprehension and opportunities.

Zheng Qian had read the introduction to Soul Masters on the first floor. Unlike cultivators, Soul Masters are divided into four minor realms under each major realm.

From lowest to highest, there are Soul Gathering Realm, Soul Dual Realm, Derivative Realm, Soul Radiance Realm, Soul King Realm, Soul Emperor Realm, and False God.

Fan Tielan represents the second stage of the Derivative Realm: Soul Array Weaving.

"Nine Revolutions of Soul Abyss Technique", "Netherworld Soul Devouring Record", "Beast Soul Contract Record"...

On the bookshelf, there were many cultivation techniques for Soul Masters. Zheng Qian picked up "The Spirit Eye Heaven-Piercing Manual" and liked it more and more as he read it.

This is a cultivation technique focused on soul perception and insight. Cultivators can open their spiritual eyes, see through illusions, and discern all the pretense and illusions of the world. Furthermore, they can use it to perceive the secrets of heaven, foresee the future, and become wise among soul masters.

Just then, a furious voice came from the second floor of the library.

“Zheng Qian, get down here, or I’ll beat you to a pulp.”
