The resplendent celestial music ca forth, and the girl seed to see a majestic figure above the heavens.
When ntioning this, Director Si Tu’s eyes carried a vague aning, almost shrouded in a misty haze.
"And then..."
Su Tu couldn’t help but inquire further—Starship from beyond the Star River, the brilliance that did not harm the Human Race, the ancient chant echoing in the girl’s ears—this was undoubtedly a protagonist’s story!
If all went as expected, that little girl was the first director of the academy, possibly mastering so powerful force after hearing that ancient chant.
And the origin of Starship Academy’s na was decided in mory of all that had happened by that very person.
Su Tu speculated this in his heart, yet Director Si Tu’s next words were completely different from what he imagined.
"There was no ’then’."
"That starship flashed and disappeared in an instant, appearing only to vanish. The group of the Human Race saved by the starship recorded its form to rember its kindness."
"Then, with the ergence of the Martial God, we acquired the Martial Arts Dao thod to elevate life levels, and then the Ten Great Martial Arts Academies were established. The first director of Starship Academy was one of those saved by the starship."
"In commoration of all that, he nad the academy ’Starship,’ and constructed the impression of the starship upon the academy with special strength."
Director Si Tu spoke mildly.
Listening to the abrupt turn in the plot, Su Tu was slightly stunned, realizing the girl who heard the celestial music was not the founder of the academy, and there was soone else behind its creation...
"What about the little girl then?"
Su Tu couldn’t resist asking.
"That girl had no aptitude for cultivation, so she aged quickly. On the day she passed away, which coincidentally was the day Starship Academy was founded, she finally shared all she had heard with the first director."
"She and the first director were..."
"She was the first director’s wife." Director Si Tu sealed his lips after these words and looked at Su Tu.
Su Tu understood the director’s intention that he had completed sharing the origin of the academy’s na.
How should Su Tu describe his current feelings?
It was as if he’d subscribed to a book full of joy after being pulled in by a top-tier opening, only to find that just as the protagonist entered the scene, hey—the next Chapter was the end.
He had intended to understand the starship through this story, to decipher those vague images in his mind, but now it seed unlikely.
"So the na of Starship Academy has such a history. Thank you for satisfying a student’s curiosity."
Although he didn’t obtain much useful information, Su Tu’s tone remained exceptionally polite.
"Hahaha, it’s nothing, nothing. By the way, that old thing Liu Bentian is quite anxious, afraid soone might snatch you away."
"You should go see him first. As for the matter of the ’True King,’ he knows it better than I do. You can understand it well from him."
Director Si Tu casually remarked.
But it caught Su Tu’s attention, as during their previous interaction, there was discussion about special arrangents for Su Tu, balancing ti between Ancient Skill research and cultivation training, resource allocation, etc.
Yet Director Si Tu never spoke about the ’True King’ process, nor how to compete for it.
Su Tu previously thought this ’True King’ contest was just a simple competition, similar to a final exam, where several prodigies clash and the strongest erges as ’True King’.
But now, Director Si Tu’s deliberate ntion was enough to suggest that this ’True King’ contest is not simple, and perhaps due to so reason, Director Si Tu cannot directly tell him the process of the contest.
With thousands of thoughts in mind, Su Tu’s expression remained unchanged as he bade farewell to Director Si Tu with a gentle tone and politely left the director’s office.
After riding the hover elevator downstairs, he happened to see the tall elder striding towards him.
"Director Liu."
Su Tu politely spoke.
"Calling ’director’ sounds distant. You’re the only precious bud in our departnt; just call teacher."
Faced with Su Tu, Liu Bentian displayed none of the sternness he showed to outsiders but instead seed like a benevolent elder looking at his descendants.
While Su Tu looked at Liu Bentian with eyes full of gratitude.
The entirety of the Ancient Skill research departnt mobilized for this unseen student, directly charging towards the battle line of the Seven Great Alliances.
Such kindness, such camaraderie; Su Tu had already noted it all in his heart.
"Hello, teacher, I have learned about the previous events. Thank you for standing by along with the other teachers..."
Su Tu began to express, but his words were abruptly interrupted by Liu Bentian’s wave of the hand.
"You are our student. Touching you would be disrespectful to us. How could we let them stay?? Two horizontal lines, one vertical line—it’s just do it!"
"It is perfectly natural for a teacher to stand up for their students!"
"There’s no need to harp on this matter; it would seem pretentious."
Liu Bentian spoke frankly and boldly.
Upon hearing this, Su Tu’s eyes flinched slightly, refraining from further speech and simply recording it all silently in his heart.
He is neither a gentleman nor a villain; he is rely a person moved by instinct, and as a person, gratitude should be fundantal.
"Let’s go, let’s go. I’ll take you to our departnt building. Old Si Tu, although shady as he may be, is ticulous, having granted an entire departnt building."
Liu Bentian led Su Tu to a massive structure, which on the whole appeared no different from a regular school building, except for the very top where there was a particularly large Ancient Scroll carving.
