Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 737: 587 Chapter: Chaotic Situation

East Continent, Great Flame Country, Demon Capital.

A black wind descended from midair, revealing Su Yuan and the others.

Qiongqi said indifferently: “We’ll stop here. We’re heading back to Ming King Mansion. You can leave on your own.”

Su Yuan cupped his hands: “Hmm, thank you for accompanying me on this journey, Senior Qiongqi.”

Qiongqi waved his hand slightly.

“Su… Yuan.” Luo Bingtong walked up to Su Yuan, his eyes seemingly filled with reluctance.

Su Yuan smiled and flipped his hand, taking out a milky white disk and handing it to Luo Bingtong.

A trace of surprise flickered in Qiongqi’s eyes. “What pure energy! What is this?”

“This is Heavenly Mountain Moon Milk from the Southern Continent. It can help achieve the breakthrough from Shining Star to Radiant Moon Level.” Su Yuan looked at the white-haired girl in front of him and carefully instructed, “You can’t put this in a Space Ring. Use it one drop at a time. Ten drops of Moon Milk should be enough to help you enter the Radiant Moon Level.”

“Mm…” Luo Bingtong nodded obediently and carefully accepted the Moon Disk.

Then, Qiongqi took Luo Bingtong and left.

“Since I’ve come to the Demon Capital, I should visit my mentor at the academy first…”

Su Yuan didn’t disembark near the Capitol City purposely to handle other matters before returning to the Yan Court.

Now that he was in the Demon Capital, visiting his mentor was naturally a priority.

Su Yuan formed a seal with his hands, and amidst the silver light, a Space Gate slowly opened before him.

After some thought, Su Yuan dispersed the Space Power in his hands and walked to the street ahead to hail a cab.

“Driver, to Demon Capital Academy, please.” Su Yuan said casually after getting into the back seat.

The driver glanced at Su Yuan through the rearview mirror and praised with a smile: “Heh, young man, are you heading to report at the Demon Capital Academy? That’s impressive!”

Hmm? Reporting?

Su Yuan felt a slight stir in his heart and took out his long-unused phone from the Space Ring, powering it on.

Oh? There’s still a bit of battery…

“Is it already the end of summer again…”

Su Yuan looked at the time and felt a rush of emotions.

It was now September 1, the opening day for many academies.

During cultivation, time becomes a blur. Ever since entering Shining Star Level and joining the Sky Patrol Department, time had grown increasingly indistinct…

Now, weeks and months flowed like water. Later on, even a year or two would pass in the blink of an eye.

“By the time, Shang Baiyu, Xiang Dingqian, and the others should have just graduated in July, right?”

Su Yuan pondered with a hint of nostalgia. Those days of being classmates for a bit more than a year, where has everyone gone now? The feeling of time passing was palpable…

“But this is a good thing. The academy is just a cradle; their journey has just begun, and the future holds much more.”

Su Yuan smiled and was about to put away his phone.

Yet suddenly, he remembered something and opened his photo album…

Because Su Yuan rarely took photos, he quickly found the one he wanted.

It was taken at a tourist village, of a white-haired girl standing beneath a white wall, holding candied hawthorn in one hand and a skewer of lamb in the other, with a slightly dazed expression.

It was taken during a hunting trial in the academy while hunting a wanted criminal, capturing a moment of Luo Bingtong.

Seeing this photo, the corners of Su Yuan’s mouth curved into a smile, and he set it as his wallpaper.

After another glance, he put away his phone.

After a while, the taxi stopped in front of Demon Capital Academy.

“Young man, good luck! The future rests on you young people!”

“Thank you, driver.”

Su Yuan got out of the car, turned his head, and saw the bustling crowd of new students who had been accepted into the Demon Capital Academy.

“Parents are not allowed to enter! Only students can go in!”

“Let me repeat, Parents are not allowed to enter! Only students can go in!”

“…”

The student council members receiving new students were sweating as they managed the enthusiastic newcomers.

The summer sun bathed the scene. Watching so many energetic young faces lifted Su Yuan’s spirits.

With a flash of silver light, Su Yuan instantly teleported inside the academy and walked along the pathways, finally arriving at the Book Tower.

Only a few students were in the Book Tower since the sophomore and higher students hadn’t started school yet.

It had been a few years since Su Yuan left the school, and his peers had just graduated, so no one recognized Su Yuan.

Su Yuan walked up to the third floor of the Book Tower and stood by the outer railing.

Soon, a teacher approached, the one responsible for arranging the exchange with Qiguang students earlier, Teacher Zheng Chusheng.

Su Yuan stood up and saluted: “Teacher Zheng.”

“Detecting an unfamiliar Radiant Moon Level presence, didn’t expect it to be you, Su Yuan…” Zheng Chusheng sized up Su Yuan, eyes filled with amazement.

Four years in the academy, achieving Shining Star Level before graduation was already exceptional.

But this student, before him, had broken through to the Radiant Moon Realm within this time… It was unbelievable!

Not even in Demon Capital Academy’s history had there been anyone like this!

Su Yuan modestly responded and then asked: “Teacher Zheng, isn’t my mentor in charge of the Book Tower? Why are you here?”

“Old Yang…” Zheng Chusheng’s face showed a hint of difficulty.

Su Yuan’s heart tightened, and he quickly asked: “What happened to my mentor?”

“It’s not an incident…” Zheng Chusheng pondered and then asked, “Did he tell you about his condition?”

Su Yuan nodded: “Yes, he told me. Is it… that my mentor’s condition has worsened?”

Zheng Chusheng sighed and nodded: “Due to Earth Qi changes, Star Veins are somewhat impacted.

It’s manageable for ordinary King Levels, but it’s quite significant for him.

This scenario has never happened before, so none of us anticipated it.

Initially, we believed he could endure for about ten more years. Now… it’s feared that he may not have more than three to four years left.”

Su Yuan’s heart sank, unconsciously clenching his fists. The previously light and jovial mood instantly grew heavy.

A sense of urgency washed over him. Su Yuan knew he had to expedite his actions.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yuan asked: “Where is my mentor now?”

Zheng Chusheng pointed below: “At the bottom of this Book Tower, there’s a Barrier inside that can relatively slow his Origin loss.”

Su Yuan glanced down, nodded: “Thank you, Teacher Zheng, for telling me this.”

He saluted and was about to leave.

However, Zheng Chusheng suddenly asked: “By the way, I’ve heard that you’ve joined the Sky Patrol Department and are one of the seven Star Lords?”

Su Yuan replied: “Yes, that’s correct.”

Zheng Chusheng was quite surprised: “You manage to come back to see your mentor despite everything. You’re thoughtful. Be careful there; staying safe is crucial. Our Demon Capital Academy rarely produces such an exceptional talent as you.”

“Hmm?” Su Yuan frowned slightly, puzzled, “Teacher Zheng, what do you mean by this?”

Zheng Chusheng, seeing Su Yuan’s reaction, found it strange as well: “Aren’t you with the Sky Patrol Department? There’s already war in the north. The situation’s chaotic. I’ve heard many from the Sky Patrol Department have gone north to assist.”

Su Yuan directly said: “North? I recently returned from the Southern Continent. I’m not up-to-date with the current situation domestically or internationally.”

“Southern Continent?” Zheng Chusheng was now astonished, “Old Yang never mentioned it. You went to the Southern Continent? No wonder.”

Zheng Chusheng nodded, quickly explaining the current situation briefly to Su Yuan.

Apparently, not long after Su Yuan left the East Continent, the Tiger Vein began to form on the East Continent.

The entire East Continent entered a period of Star Vein’s eruption. Besides the Tiger Vein, Wolf Veins, and Dog Veins sprung up like mushrooms after rain…

Various countries and factions got involved in the scramble, making the entire continent turbulent.

The two major powers in the north and south, Great Flame and Qiguang, although not openly in conflict yet, were already indirectly clashing through Yanluo, Black Snow, and other countries.

Now within Great Flame, the Sky Patrol Department and Military Supervision Department’s northern military district had already pulled many experts into Yanluo and Black Snow, and the Great Flame North Domain was now in a state of war readiness.

“Has the situation escalated so quickly?”

Su Yuan’s heart tightened, realizing how much had changed while he was in the Southern Continent.

Su Yuan had originally intended to visit his parents, but now decided to head to the Yan Court immediately.

“Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Zheng. I’ll be going now.”

Zheng Chusheng didn’t say more, just nodded: “Take care.”

Su Yuan looked towards the base of the tower, bowed deeply, then opened a Space Gate and hurried towards the Capitol City…

Capitol City, Northern Suburb, Yan Court.

Su Yuan descended quickly, heading inside.

A team was still on duty at the entrance. Seeing Su Yuan approach, a burly man with cropped hair promptly stopped him: “Hello, please show your Identity Token…”

Su Yuan realized he hadn’t changed into his Sky Patrol Department uniform.

“Su Xing Lord?” At that moment, a brown-haired young man nearby seemed to recognize Su Yuan and exclaimed, “Old Xu, this is Su Yuan, Su Xing Lord!”

Su Yuan took out a token inscribed with the words “Yu Heng”.

“It’s really Su Xing Lord!”

Seeing the token, the burly young man, known as Old Xu, was initially shocked, then burst into admiration: “Su Xing Lord, I’m Xu Mian. Didn’t expect to see you in person. Apologies, please go in!”

“Thank you.”

Su Yuan nodded, then continued quickly towards the Sky Patrol Department.

After registering at the office, Su Yuan returned to Dorm 777 in Zhu Yuan.

Exclusive to wolf veins for Star Lords, Xia Xuan, Xu Fan, and others didn’t reside there. But Su Yuan, often training in the Qingming Realm, never moved.

Su Yuan took out his Sky Patrol Black Card and checked. As suspected, many were not in the department, including Li Daoxun and Fu Dongliu.

However, some remained…

Noticing a familiar name, Su Yuan sent a message, then used the Black Card to review the latest news and information.

Before long, a knock came at the door, and Baili Ge appeared.

“Long time no see, Baili Ge.”

Seeing Su Yuan, Baili Ge’s eyes lit up. “Su Xing Lord, you’re finally back!”

Su Yuan, having left for so long, openly stated he was on an adventure, but Baili Ge and others knew privately that Su Yuan had gone to another continent.

“Take a seat.” Su Yuan invited Baili Ge to sit, then released Ruan Ruan. “Ruan Ruan, make tea for our guest.”

“Yes, master!” Ruan Ruan responded promptly and started making tea for Su Yuan and Baili Ge.

Looking at Baili Ge, Su Yuan asked directly: “I just returned. Tell me about the recent situation of the East Continent. It’s quite chaotic?”

Baili Ge slapped his thigh. “Chaotic? The entire north of Great Flame is in turmoil!”
