Chapter 796: The Past and Present of the Academy
After speaking for a while, Teacher Xue lifted the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then pushed it towards Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan reached out and caught it, sensing a trace of spiritual power where he touched it.
"This is some information about the 'Divine Visage.' Even if you don't follow this path, you can still observe and understand the state of the Divine Visage. You might encounter such opponents in the future."
Chen Chuan felt it for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Thank you, Teacher Xue."
"It's nothing," Teacher Xue said. "Principal Yao has probably reported your situation, and in a few days, someone from the Great Prosperity National Martial Artist Council will come looking for you. Yes, this is an organization established by the nation to coordinate and communicate with fighters. They will sign some restrictive agreements with you and confirm your personal stance."
"No matter what stance you show, whether you stand with the nation or the company, it's none of their concern. They are just intermediaries, but when it comes to the binding agreement, you should pay attention."
His expression became solemn. "This agreement is constrained by secret teachings. Once you sign it, try not to violate it; otherwise, it will cause you harm. If the situation is more severe, some losses may be irreversible."
"Do you know why the Municipal Parliament was so afraid of you a few days ago? Because not signing the agreement means you are not bound by the secret teachings, and you also hold the Infinite Defense Certificate. This means that if you act without restraint, even if you kill them, you won't be held accountable on the surface as long as you can prove that the actions against you were indeed related to these people."
"However, the nation pays attention to every fighter and assesses their behavior and psychology. Those who exhibit more extreme behavior will have more stringent restrictions added to their agreements, and they will also be closely monitored in the future. This is actually very unfavorable. The fact that you can control yourself, remain unaffected by emotions, and handle situations calmly is excellent. This time, your assessment should be good. I estimate that when they come, they will sign a less restrictive agreement with you."
Chen Chuan nodded.
"I'll be at Wu Yi Academy for a few more days. If you have any questions or issues, you can contact me directly or leave a message. Well, I should be going now." As he spoke, Teacher Xue stood up from his seat.
Chen Chuan also stood up and asked, "Take care, Teacher Xue."
Teacher Xue smiled and turned to walk out. When he reached the doorway, he seemed to flicker, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Chen Chuan looked at the teacup on the desk. The tea had clearly been drunk, but he couldn't be sure if Teacher Xue had actually been there or if it no longer mattered. This person seemed to have practiced the 'Divine Visage' to a high level, making it difficult to distinguish reality from illusion. Chen Chuan looked at his hand, where the spiritual power had formed a spiritual imprint. Perhaps he could learn something about this path from this.
He lowered his hand and pondered. Did he need to apply to Wu Yi Academy for the cultivation technique? There was no related information from Red Veil, and he considered that the upper echelon of Wu Yi might have intentionally cut off this information to prevent Red Veil from knowing about fighter cultivation.
He understood this approach. Red Veil was already a powerful sentient entity, and if she also possessed the knowledge and skills of numerous fighters, it would be challenging to determine who was stronger.
Now that he thought about it, Red Veil's time as a conscious entity with him seemed somewhat similar to the Divine Visage. However, the true Divine Visage could sustain itself and didn't require attachment, and it could cultivate independently. He turned his thoughts, and when he gained sufficient knowledge in this area, perhaps he could find a way to help Red Veil recover some of her power.
For now, he needed to return to Wu Yi Academy first.
He glanced out the window at the massive outline of Central City and the numerous skyscrapers that seemed to be at his feet. After leaving the building, he made his way back to his private vehicle. He asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Principal Yao, inquiring about the specific process.
Soon, Principal Yao replied with the detailed procedure and even provided a secret key phrase. With this, Chen Chuan could obtain certain permissions from Red Veil and access areas usually restricted to the upper echelon of the academy.
The vehicle drove straight to Wu Yi Academy, and after the attendant opened the door, Chen Chuan stepped out and looked up at the towering Mystic Palace Tower.
Since he had handled the incident with Assistant Ling, a voice devoid of emotion echoed through the hall:
"Welcome back, Teacher Chen."
This is the voice of Red Veil, but it's another Red Veil, one without self-awareness.
It was the afternoon break, and there were still many teachers and students coming and going in the hall. However, when they saw him enter, almost everyone widened their eyes and stopped to stare at him.
Even though he hadn't been seen at Wu Yi for some time, the hottest topic among the teachers and students these days was all about him. The teachers at Wu Yi unanimously believed that he had already broken through to a higher realm and become a fighter, a title that ordinary fighters could only dream of.
Upon hearing this news, the teachers and students of Wu Yi couldn't help but feel proud. Many quick-witted students immediately rushed to purchase Chen Chuan's courses for the next semester.
However, the school's response was even faster. In the first instance, they closed all his courses. What a joke! How could a fighter's courses be so easily purchased? The teachers at the school who wanted to buy his courses couldn't find a way, let alone the students.
Those students who had previously ignored Chen Chuan's courses now regretted their negligence.
Because as long as they purchased the courses, even if they had only attended one class, they could claim to be students of the fighter. This was no exaggeration, and even if the fighter didn't teach them diligently, this relationship was still established. This was something that many people couldn't obtain no matter how hard they tried.
Many people envied the three who had purchased Chen Chuan's courses. How did these three manage to do it? They were taught by the fighter himself! This teacher-student relationship was real, and in the future, who would dare to give them any trouble?
After entering the elevator, Chen Chuan headed straight to the ninety-fourth floor at the top of the tower.
After waiting for several minutes, the elevator came to a stop. The doors slowly parted, and he stepped out. The lighting here was ample, with rays of light streaming in through the glass walls, casting shadows on the corridor. Outside, only a few building tops could be vaguely seen, as if standing atop the clouds.
At the end of the corridor, a middle-aged man stood with his hands in his pockets.
The man had a distinct inverted triangle upper body, wearing an orange-yellow floral imported suit. He sported a thick, black goatee, and his hair was styled with artistic flair. A streak of rainbow-colored hair adorned his forehead, and he wore blue sunglasses. A shimmering metal plate was embedded at the seam of his pants, giving him the appearance of an aged, wealthy playboy.
At this moment, Chen Chuan's tall figure was clearly reflected in the man's sunglasses. He reached up, removed them, and then smiled, spreading his arms.
"Professor Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's an honor to meet you. I believe this is our first time meeting, isn't it?"
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "It is our first meeting, but I've heard a lot about Vice Principal Tan from Assistant Ling."
This person was none other than Vice Principal Tan Wei Xing of Wu Yi Academy.
Vice Principal Tan sighed, not trying to hide his emotions. "Assistant Ling was once my best assistant. When I was away, he took care of the school's affairs for me. Now that Assistant Ling is in trouble, I have to handle these matters myself."
Chen Chuan glanced at him. His words skillfully avoided the issue, neither confirming nor denying it, but he managed to distance himself from Assistant Ling's actions.
"I heard that Vice Principal Tan has been busy outside, so you might not be very familiar with the school's affairs," Chen Chuan said.
"That's right," Vice Principal Tan sighed. "I must admit that I'm at fault for Assistant Ling's situation. The higher-ups should have removed me from my position, but I have no choice. They insisted that I take on the role of vice principal, and ever since I came to Wu Yi, I've been thinking about how to make money for the school. I can't afford to think about much else."
He tapped his sunglasses in his hand. "But this job, it's a nuisance. It's all about offending people, constantly offending people. I really wish I could shake off these responsibilities and finally relax."
At this moment, Chen Chuan calmly said, "There will be a day for that."
Vice Principal Tan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he hid it well, and then he laughed, "Then I'll take your words as a blessing, Professor Chen."
Chen Chuan said, "I'm here to handle some matters. Principal Yao has already granted me the necessary permissions. Since Vice Principal Tan is not familiar with the school's affairs, I won't trouble you with it."
After saying this, he walked forward, and as he passed Vice Principal Tan,
the latter maintained a smile on his face, but his body stiffened for a moment. As the footsteps behind him grew fainter and eventually moved away, he took out a special cigar with a slightly trembling hand.
At that moment, a voice without emotion sounded, "Vice Principal Tan, please be mindful of your actions. Smoking is prohibited in public areas within the school."
Vice Principal Tan furrowed his brows. In his mind, he wondered why Red Veil was stopping him. As a vice principal, Red Veil would never have spoken up before.
He put his hand down reluctantly and muttered, "Assistant Ling's death is a real nuisance. Not only is the school affected, but the True Form Tree side is also lacking in progress. Many things now require my personal attention."
