Chapter 1999: Chapter 1994: The Expert Swimmer Drowns in Water

Comparable to the Heavenly Dao’s eradication of evil, truly worthy of the Sword Pavilion!

In that moment, Fu Qian sighed in his heart, not at all minding placing himself in the category of the Evil Path.

This astonishing strike was truly remarkable, just a mere touch brought such a level of destruction, it’s unbelievable it came from that rotten sword.

Even Mr. Li He, who achieved a breakthrough during the battle, could hardly compare in power.

For the many teachers and students of the Swordsmanship Department, isn’t this the ultimate realm they pursue?

Could it really be hidden within the Sword Pavilion—or more precisely, the current Sword Pavilion?

Half of the building’s roof had already been blown off, perhaps for the first time exposing this secluded corner to such splendid sunlight over the years...

Among the screams echoing in his ears, the aura of the Gatekeeper was also rapidly approaching...

The destruction on his arm had slowed down, but had not completely stopped...

Feeling all of this, Fu Qian, with his other still intact hand, directly removed the ”Messenger” from his face.

Interesting...

The light shifted from bright to dark, and the ancient tables and chairs appeared again. Back in the warehouse, Fu Qian surveyed his surroundings, his gaze finally falling on his other hand.

It remained a bare elbow, unchanged during the return journey.

But on the bright side, at least it was still possible to return to the city.

Fu Qian looked up, as if gazing at an endless height.

There was nothing there, yet there was still some kind of mysterious connection, one that even being in the warehouse felt not completely severed.

There was no mistake, after that meteor shower, the Academy was indeed unusually lively.

...

Jade Soul Master?

Ultimately, it was still too weak, only able to sense the concept of connection, with no knowledge of specifics.

But for Fu Qian, it wasn’t difficult to form a hypothesis.

Indeed, he was inclined to believe that this transcendent entanglement arose from the name he had recently heard from Old Master Stoss.

Also suspected, during the time in Akons, of being the ”Pure Soul” that never confronted him directly.

This strange connection emerged because of him, including his arm that couldn’t quickly grow back...and even the Divine Ashes Institute’s eager ambitions.

Every abnormality has its deeper reasons behind it.

Rushing to follow up on Miss Wen’s progress? Surely not just for a petty dispute with the Divine Ashes Institute.

Even the provocation made when they visited back then was not simply to help her gain more resources.

The suggestion about the relic left by the predecessor Liliyana recommended Wen Li to hand it over to leverage the power of the Divine Ashes Institute for research...

Long ago, it was commented that the Divine Ashes Institute’s actions seemed somewhat aggressive, with an impressive speed of producing results.

Of course, this could all be attributed to years of accumulation, the land producing outstanding talents, and it’s not easy to pinpoint obvious faults.

But unfortunately, Fu Qian examined with biases in mind.

The Human Soul World surely possesses strange powers, notably not permitting outsiders normal entry.

In repeatedly confirming this point and feeling indignant over such discrimination, the first question Fu Qian thought of was whether, conversely, someone might receive special favor in this area?

And the first image that popped into his mind was the opponent he encountered in Akons.

The final task summary even clearly mentioned that he found deep within the Human Soul World just by following the name Akons, attempting to ”refine” it.

Such methods were worlds apart from his own.

And so Fu Qian had a second question.

Which was, without interference, did he have any success elsewhere? Like the Divine Ashes Institute?

...

The Academy is not in the mental world, but the reality.

The Divine Ashes Institute even has more than one demigod, plus years of exploration in the Mental World.

He had even recently interacted with them without noticing anything unusual.

Fu Qian knew all this, but he still didn’t confine himself, forcibly hypothesizing, what if the Divine Ashes Institute really got hit?

Good swimmers drown in water; in a sense, they and that suspected Jade Soul Master are in the same profession, and no matter the ranking, the other’s ideological realm appears higher.

Not only can they guide the second phase Night Watchman Stoss, but even his last task of the week, he was inspired by their ideology.

Compared to this group obsessed with ”techniques,” it feels like a dimensional strike down.

So in Fu Qian’s view, this isn’t impossible, as long as the Jade Soul Master intends to do it.

As for what the manifestation would be if they really got hit?

Like the expected outcome for those people in Akons, to suddenly realize they’re merely a random thought of the Jade Soul Master?

Fu Qian can’t be sure, knowing too little.

But actually, thinking in reverse, it’s easy to come up with another perspective — see if this group in the Divine Ashes Institute is behaving unusually, even trial them.

Originally, Wen Li was invited to the Academy, and Fu Qian didn’t plan to get too involved.

However, the fluctuation that breached the Divine Ashes Institute’s barrier and swept into his lab made him change his mind.

This led to the scene where he ran to the Benevolence Institute, giving Old Master Veron a moment to brag.

At that time, it was even commented — the stance of the seniors in the Divine Ashes Institute seemed a bit too aggressive.

And even during the recent visit, judging by the response, they seemed to have accomplished some great feat — in just two days, they reaped benefits from Liliyana’s relic.

They might even have helped Wen Li achieve something jaw-dropping — for instance, becoming a demigod?

It’s true that Miss Wen has talent, but the Divine Ashes Institute with all its years, only had those two demigods.

If that’s not considered abnormal, what is?

So at that moment, Fu Qian suddenly felt like he had kicked a backpack bomb.

Certain uncanny changes are quietly happening in the Academy.

Of course, this is far from enough to prove that the person behind it is who Fu Qian thought, so his choice was to activate the Return Edict, rustling things up a bit.

Ultimately, Old Master Veron’s reaction remained normal.

He didn’t push further; Fu Qian chose to continue wandering around the Academy, eventually arriving at the Swordsmanship Department Sacred Land.

If remembered correctly, during the Akons encounter, that one could reimagine the glory of the Ancient Deities based purely on imagination.

And although he had never seen the deities on the path of cultivation, Fu Qian still decided to casually desecrate something again.

Reality proved some exceedingly high power indeed appeared, just like that — even as Fu Qian casually put the ”Messenger” back on.

Oh?

The light brightened, but not too much.

Fu Qian confirmed he had returned to his previous position, and simultaneously, the fourth floor of the Sword Pavilion was completely restored.

As if his previous destructive act had never occurred.
