Chapter 60: One year later, Li Qianjue's imagination
With that thought, Dean Li took out a black card and handed it to Sun Yu.
"My dear disciple, here, take this card. It has ten thousand gold coins in it. Consider it a welcoming gift from an old man like me. About ten minutes east of the academy, there's a Seven Treasures Pavilion. They have many good things there. If you need anything, you can go buy it. If it's not enough, come find me again."
"Also, starting tomorrow, move to the back mountain and live with me. This way, whether you're training, have questions for me, or even need a sparring partner, it will be much more convenient!"
Looking at the black card Dean Li handed over, Sun Yu was slightly stunned for a moment before respectfully taking the card with both hands and saying,
"Thank you, Teacher! Then everything will be as Teacher wishes. I'll go back tonight to pack my things and move over tomorrow!"
Dean Li nodded with a smile.
"....."
From then on, Sun Yu followed Dean Li's instructions and moved directly to the back mountain where Dean Li resided.
On this back mountain, apart from the Dean and Li Zhan, no one else would come to disturb them on weekdays.
Sun Yu, therefore, gained an even quieter and safer cultivation environment.
After a few days of simple rest, restoring his energy and spirit to their peak, Sun Yu once again began his ascetic-like life.
In the early morning, he cultivated the Profound Clarity Spiritual Eye, and in the morning, he practiced the Nine Forms of Staff Art and the Taiji Staff, which incorporated Tai Chi Strength!
He cultivated until around nine o'clock, then attended Dean Li's private lessons until lunchtime.
After lunch, he first took time to cultivate the Ladder Cloud Step, Mystic Spirit Body, and Tai Chi Strength. The continuous high mountains, forests, and broad grasslands on the back mountain were all very suitable for Sun Yu's grand and sweeping cultivation of the Daoist Secret Arts!
He cultivated until around two o'clock, then went to the Bai Zhan Arena to torment the second-year students.
As the top-ranked student in the second year, Sun Yu had lost interest in tormenting the first-year students.
Therefore, the second-year students naturally became Sun Yu's new targets for torment.
At this point, the second-year students could only watch helplessly as the scenes they had once viewed as a good show were all replicated onto them by Sun Yu, powerless to do anything!
Because no matter what, they couldn't beat Sun Yu!
For a time, under Sun Yu's deterrence, the entire second-year student body lived in misery every afternoon.
As for Xiong Zhan, who had obtained his third spirit ring and become a Spirit Elder after the ranking competition, successfully advancing to the third year, he felt inexplicably fortunate upon seeing the miserable state of his former classmates.
After all, if he had been even a little late in advancing to the third year, Sun Yu's target for torment would have been himself.
After Sun Yu finished tormenting the second-year students in the afternoon,
The time would arrive in the evening. After dinner, if there was a medicinal bath, he would soak in it to enhance his physical constitution.
When there was no medicinal bath, he would sit on the mountain and watch the sunset, taking a moment of leisure amidst his busy schedule.
After the sunset and a bath, he would go directly to the library to check out books, read until around Hai Shi, which is about nine o'clock at night, then return to his small room to meditate until the next morning, and then start the cycle again.
And if he suddenly didn't feel like reading one day, Sun Yu would also choose to start meditating and cultivating directly after dinner and a bath.
After all, the days of cultivation were repetitive and monotonous, so occasionally changing the cultivation method to adjust one's mood was actually not bad!
From then on, as Sun Yu completely immersed himself in this busy and fulfilling cultivation life, time began to fly by.
Soon, another year had passed in the blink of an eye.
"..."
Hundred Battles Academy, cafeteria, a private room for the Dean.
Sun Yu was eating breakfast with Dean Li.
Dean Li held a peeled egg in his hand, his eyes filled with complexity, confusion, and even a hint of shock as he watched Sun Yu devouring his breakfast.
"Xiao Yu, Teacher, I have something to ask you…"
"Teacher, I have good news to tell you!"
As the atmosphere in the private room grew increasingly somber, Sun Yu and Dean Li suddenly spoke at the same time.
"Teacher, you go first…"
When Sun Yu looked up, he also noticed that Dean Li's expression was off, so he drank his chicken soup, intending to let his teacher speak first!
Dean Li looked at Sun Yu's calm face, hesitated for a while, then finally asked with a difficult expression,
"Xiao Yu, I am your master. Logically speaking, you shouldn't hide anything from me, right… You… why go through all this trouble… If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Why… you're still young, only eight years old… How can you… Even if you don't… you can't… Alas…"
Looking at his teacher's distressed and pained face, Sun Yu immediately showed a look of confusion, like an old man on the subway.
"Teacher, what do you mean by this? What's wrong with me?! I haven't done anything bad recently?!"
"Hmph, I wish you would do something bad. Cleaning up your mess would be better than watching you fall. Look at you, all you do is cultivate all day, you're going to ruin your brain!"
Dean Li said with an incredibly complex expression.
"Huh?! No, Teacher, what exactly do you mean? I don't understand a single word!"
Sun Yu looked at Dean Li's sorrowful eyes, his confusion deepening.
"Alas, you brat, why don't you understand? Or are you pretending to be foolish, knowing full well what I'm asking? Do you really have to force me to say it?! Fine, I'll say it. I ask you, did you go to the Seven Treasures Pavilion a few days ago?!"
"Yes, what about it?!"
"Did you buy some talismans and brushes at the Seven Treasures Pavilion, and then also buy a ten-thousand-year-old whale glue through auction?"
"Yes! So what?!"
"Did you use it?"
"Nonsense, of course I used it. I finished it yesterday. Ten-thousand-year whale glue is good stuff. I used it all as soon as the impurities were removed!"
"What?! You used the entire piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue? And you finished it all?! My Subduing Demon Old Ancestor, Xiao Yu, at such a young age, you're already so weak?! Tell me, who did you use it on? Is the woman alright? And who is she, or rather, who are they…"
Dean Li's face was filled with shock upon hearing Sun Yu's understated words!
That was an entire piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue, and Xiao Yu, at such a young age, actually used it all by himself.
Oh my god, is Xiao Yu, at such a young age, so wild?!
Why didn't I notice this rough side of Xiao Yu before?
Damn it, could it be that this year of arduous cultivation has made Xiao Yu repressed? Damn it, I should have noticed Xiao Yu's changes earlier…
