Chapter 58: Follow the agreement and meet Li Qianjue
After Dean Li Qianjue gave a simple pep talk to the participating students for the past few days, he officially announced the end of this year's ranking competition.
Then, under the teachers' arrangements, the students from the three grade levels, who had watched to their heart's content, orderly left the Bai Zhan Arena.
They each headed towards the dormitories, cafeteria, or library.
The excitement was over, and everyone needed to return to their own living areas.
However, when leaving, the second and third-year students, except for Han Yi and Zhang Chen, all had solemn expressions.
They completely lacked the joyful and happy demeanor of the first-year students.
After all, Sun Yu was one of their first-year students, and coupled with the fact that it wasn't their first-year students who were brutally defeated, the first-year students naturally felt very happy!
As an ancient saying goes, 'It's better for a fellow Daoist to die than for me to die.'
"....."
On the other side, Sun Yu did not leave with the crowd; instead, after everyone had left, he was taken by Li Zhan alone to the back mountain.
The back mountain of the academy was where Dean Li Qianjue and Vice Dean Li Zhan lived.
The mountains were green and the waters clear, with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.
The vegetation was dense and lush!
It looked very pleasing to the eye!
Therefore, unless approved by Li Qianjue or Li Zhan, ordinary students were not allowed to enter this place!
Here, Sun Yu, who followed Li Zhan into the academy's back mountain, was led to an open grassy area at the foot of the mountain.
And on this lush, green grassland, an old man in white martial attire was standing!
This old man was none other than the Dean of Hundred Battles Academy, Li Qianjue!
Apparently, as soon as Li Qianjue announced the end of the ranking competition, he left the arena and came here to wait.
"Dean Li..."
Sun Yu looked at Li Qianjue, who was standing in the center of the grassland waiting for him, and seeing the look Li Zhan gave him, he quickly walked forward, and upon reaching about five meters in front of Li Qianjue, he cupped his fists respectfully and spoke.
Listening to Sun Yu's greeting, Li Qianjue clasped his hands behind his back, carefully scrutinizing Sun Yu from head to toe, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"Sun Yu, you truly amaze me. I didn't expect you to not only genuinely enter the top three but also defeat the quasi-Spirit Elder Xiong Zhan and claim first place... Not only that, your Taiji Staff also left a deep impression on me..."
"Dean Li, you flatter me. Those are merely minor tricks, not yet worthy of grand occasions!"
"You're quite humble, young man. Although the Taiji Staff you displayed still seems very immature, I can feel that its power is considerable. Refine it well, and a place on the list of future Grandmasters of staff techniques will surely be yours....
Alright, no more idle talk. Since you've completed my assessment, I naturally won't go back on my word. Come on, attack me with all your might. First, let me see the power of that staff strike you used to kill a Spirit Elder...."
Li Qianjue said as he summoned his Spirit.
Dragon Staff!
A brown staff with a dragon carved into its body.
As Li Qianjue summoned his Spirit, two yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings, the optimal attribute combination, also appeared at Li Qianjue's feet.
At the same time as the Spirit and spirit rings appeared, Li Qianjue's majestic spirit power, reaching level sixty-nine, also emerged!
"Rustle! Rustle!"
Under the surge of that majestic level sixty-nine spirit power.
The clothes on both Sun Yu and Li Qianjue rustled.
Feeling the pressure Li Qianjue exerted on him, Sun Yu stood firm and spoke calmly.
"Since the Dean wishes to see, this junior naturally won't hold back. However, Dean, if I want to unleash that strike, I might need to borrow some external force..."
Upon hearing this, Li Qianjue nodded indifferently and said.
"No matter. I know you have a Spirit Bone. Use it as much as your physical condition allows; I can handle it!"
Li Qianjue didn't believe that a Spirit Ability capable of killing a Spirit Elder could be unleashed without a Spirit Bone to enhance the physique.
Therefore, he easily guessed that Sun Yu might have a Spirit Bone within him that enhanced his physical constitution.
After a moment of silence, Sun Yu said nothing more. After summoning his Spirit, he immediately took out the Ning Jin Talisman and began to stack buffs.
Ning Jin Talisman!
First Soul Skill: Crushing Blow!
external Spirit Bone Skill: All attributes increased by ten percent!
Mystic Spirit Body attached to hands!
Profound Clarity Spiritual Eye, open!
"Ding!!"
"Ding!!"
"Ding!!!"
The next moment, as three streams of light and three crisp sounds erupted from the Shattered Gold Rod.
The originally silver rod with golden patterns immediately transformed into a brilliant staff, seven parts silver, three parts gold!
And Sun Yu's physique also expanded by a circle due to the activation of his external Spirit Bone Skill!
At this moment, Sun Yu, holding the buffed Shattered Gold Rod, had reached his peak state, both in terms of his physical condition and his overall aura.
Although this strike didn't use Battle Strength, and not all Spirit Bone Skills were activated, in terms of power, it was actually stronger than the one used in the Hunting Soul Forest at that time.
After all, the current Sun Yu had a significant improvement in both physique and spirit power compared to the previous Sun Yu!
As profound mystique swirled in his eyes, he suddenly leaped up!
His hands, with the Ning Jin Talisman and Mystic Spirit Body stacked, held the fully enhanced Shattered Gold Rod!
Then, he fiercely smashed it down towards Li Qianjue.
And Li Qianjue, looking at Sun Yu, who was now grim-faced and whose muscles were trembling all over.
With an unchanging expression, he raised his Dragon Staff high.
He firmly received Sun Yu's move!
"Thud!!"
"Ding!"
"Boom!!"
The next moment, as the Shattered Gold Rod heavily struck the Dragon Staff, a muffled, incredibly dull sound first entered the ears of the three people present, followed closely by a violent aftershock that spread out as the two staffs violently collided.
Li Zhan, standing by watching the commotion, saw this scene and quickly circulated his spirit power to block the rapidly approaching aftershock!
"Compared to when he was in the Hunting Soul Forest, this kid's strike is much stronger now..."
After blocking the aftershock, Li Zhan murmured with a surprised expression.
On the other side, not long after the Shattered Gold Rod and the Dragon Staff collided, Li Qianjue, without any counterattack, simply relied on the force of the recoil to directly send Sun Yu flying!
As for Li Qianjue, he remained standing in place with the same calm expression as before.
His clothes didn't even show any wrinkles from that previous strike....
Seeing Sun Yu fly backward, Li Qianjue lowered his raised arm, waved his Spirit, and slightly calmed his slightly numb palm, asking in a flat tone.
"Is this your full-power strike?"
After Sun Yu flew out, he did a somersault and landed steadily on the ground, then nodded slightly while regulating the spirit power within his body.
