In his view, Fang Xing was indeed a promising seedling; it was a pity that Blue Star University had gotten to him first.
Han Chunfeng said to Fang Xing, "Your lodging certificate and pass have all been processed, with the access rights transferred to your AI... Rest for a few days, and in three, we’ll go to the design bureau together. I’ll personally handle the design of your cha..."
"Thank you, Professor Han."
Fang Xing politely thanked him.
"Haha, it’s nothing, it’s all mutually beneficial."
Han Chunfeng nodded, then called over a researching monk: "This is my student Gu Zhen... If you need anything, you can ask him."
"Classmate Gu Zhen..."
Fang Xing smiled and nodded: "We et again."
"Again we et..."
Gu Zhen looked at Fang Xing, his expression sowhat bewildered.
He and Fang Xing were from the sa year’s college entrance exam cohort; he was an unrivaled prodigy, having advanced to Outer Realm before even starting school, leading by a large margin.
Ten years later, the other party had beco a doctoral student in the Vajra Realm, even reaching a status where even his own ntor had to greet him with a smile.
He had practiced arduously for ten years, barely breaking through to the Sixth Realm, and then spent who knows what cost to finally beco a pupil under the mighty Han Chunfeng, becoming an honorable research monk, beckoned and ordered about every day, working across various project teams, with only diocre progress in Martial Arts.
He even felt he had no direct hope at all for pursuing doctoral studies.
Now looking at Fang Xing, the contrast struck him forcefully, causing a pang of embarrassnt.
"You know each other? That’s great..."
It was as if Han Chunfeng had just realized this: "Gu Zhen, make sure to take good care of classmate Fang Xing. Whatever he requires, fulfill it to the best of your ability, understand?"
Having said this, he transford into a streak of light and vanished, likely off to continue experints with new suppressants.
"Classmate Fang Xing, welco to Nine Swords Academy. Is there anything I can help with?"
Gu Zhen patted his cheeks, managing a sowhat stiff smile.
"Oh, nothing much... just take to the dormitory first, and then I’d like to take a stroll around Nine Swords Academy."
Fang Xing nodded.
"Hmm."
Gu Zhen led Fang Xing to his villa.
Along the way, they occasionally saw other students, but there was no bullying of beauties by young thugs, nor any scenarios where soone would foolishly provoke the strong by bumping into them.
The college students of Nine Swords Academy were all chosen elites, each very busy!
Moreover, without ntioning Fang Xing, who was a Vajra Realm expert capable of knocking out teachers, even Gu Zhen used to be a well-known figure at Nine Swords Academy; anybody could guess with their toes that the person he personally accompanied was no ordinary character.
How could there possibly be fools willing to crash into Fang Xing, just to be beaten and humiliated?
Even if such people existed, their smart brains would remind them how to behave!
"This area is ’Purple Light Garden,’ covering eighty-seven acres; I don’t know if it will be sufficient?"
Gu Zhen brought Fang Xing to the entrance of the dormitory, introducing, "Inside the facilities are a virtual room, sports fields, a gymnasium, a private cinema, a private restaurant... as well as a team of 1,642 butlers."
"That will do..."
Fang Xing sighed with emotion: "Nine Swords Academy, as well as Holy Armor University, are truly lavish... Unlike our Blue Star University, which only occupies such a small piece of broken land."
Gu Zhen couldn’t help but feel speechless: "Do you think the land value on Blue Star was just made up? Even the dormitory you live in, if sold, could buy several planets... It’s the actual tycoons who set up schools on Blue Star, right... By the way, what business do you have at Nine Swords Academy this ti?"
Through this period of conversation, he found Fang Xing rather easy to talk to, and finally could not resist his curiosity.
"Oh, nothing special... just that Professor Han has agreed to design a set of Martial Saint cha for ... I just ca to take a look, to learn a thing or two along the way, and to also take advantage of your Nine Swords Academy’s Great Library and the Obelisk."
Fang Xing told the plain truth.
Gu Zhen: "..."
He regretted it; he shouldn’t have asked.
While the other party was already preparing Martial Saint cha, he hadn’t even reached the Seventh Realm—wasn’t this just asking for punishnt?
"I should take my leave now, here’s my virtual number, contact directly if you need anything."
Gu Zhen felt an even greater pang of embarrassnt as he hastily bid farewell and left.
...
"Hehe..."
Watching Gu Zhen’s retreating figure, Fang Xing couldn’t help but laugh inconsiderably.
"Master... what are you laughing about?"
From his wrist communicator, ca the voice of Xiao Lan.
"It just looks like the back of a defeated dog..."
Fang Xing uttered a quip that Xiao Lan couldn’t catch and then continued, "You received the map and permissions for the Nine Swords Academy, right?"
"Yes, Master," Xiao Lan replied promptly, "Professor Han Chunfeng gave you quite high-level access. You can pass through everywhere except a few forbidden areas..."
"That’s good, let’s first take a stroll through the library and then check out the famous Obelisk."
Fang Xing stretched, "The chance to further study at Nine Swords Academy is not sothing that cos by often..."
...
The next day.
Fang Xing got up early, ate breakfast at the Nine Swords Academy’s private dining hall, and then took a stroll around the communal cafeteria.
He felt that it was quite different from the cafeteria at Blue Star University.
Soon after, he dove into the Great Library of the Nine Swords Academy.
In the reading room.
Fang Xing held an ancient, thread-bound book with yellowed pages that had an indescribable texture to the touch, and it emitted a light scent of herbs.
"The Traceless Fist Manual..."
Rustle!
As he turned the pages, figures leaped out, accompanied by an inexplicable Realm.
"Indeed, the text and images upon these ancient tos are penned by Martial Artists with great effort, possessing a mysterious quality..."
"If ordinary Martial Arts Secret Books are like this, there’s no need to ntion the High-Rank ones..."
"There are even works about the Evil God, for research purposes... Even a single image is not suitable for online exposure."
Even Fang Xing couldn’t deny that the Great Library of the Nine Swords Academy opened his eyes.
At this ti, he walked into a more advanced reading area and took a book off the shelf.
On the cover of this dictionary-thick volu was a picture of a black Obelisk.
At the top of the Obelisk, there was a dark red pattern, seemingly dyed with blood.
To ordinary people, rely seeing such an image would instill a sense of ritual and antiquity, even inadvertently drawing them in deep.
"Obelisk?"
Fang Xing’s interest was piqued, and he opened the first page.
"So the Nine Swords Academy’s Obelisk cos from extraterrestrial technology... suspected to be worshiped by the ’Kua Yi Clan’ from the Outer Realm... Utilizing the Obelisk, one can carry out incredible operations like spatial isolation, energy infusion, extraction..."
"The Nine Swords Academy’s Obelisk must be a Holy Artifact seized after the obliteration of that clan... It was once used to suppress the bodies of several Outer Realm Evil Gods for research... So beneath the Obelisk lies the highest-level laboratory and factory of the Nine Swords Academy?"
Fang Xing checked the permission map provided by Xiao Lan and realized he could only move above the Obelisk.
The underground area was off-limits.
"Cultivation using the Obelisk should be done on its surface, there’s no need to go deeper..."
He nodded, put the book back, and prepared to witness the marvels of the Obelisk.
"Excuse , are you headed to the Obelisk?"
Just then, a subdued voice reached him.
Fang Xing looked up and saw a girl with twist braids and round glasses.
She was looking thoughtfully at the book Fang Xing had just put back.
"Yes... Are you a research student or a doctoral student at the academy, since you can access the high-level reading area?"
Fang Xing sensed the turbulent energy hidden within the girl’s body and asked with a smile.
"Nangong Xue... a doctoral student at the Nine Swords Academy, I like researching those ancient and ultimately vanished Outer Realm Evil Gods..."
Pushing her glasses up, Nangong Xue spoke enthusiastically, "If you’re going to the Obelisk, it’s on my way. We could go together..."
’This woman... there’s sothing off about her.’
Fang Xing’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then he revealed a sunny smile, "Sure..."
