Had the general started favoring Imperial College now? The idea filled Elder Dongfang with sorrow. She was frustrated and distressed, but she didn't dare lash out at anybody. Behind her were the other elders, who were dumbfounded when they saw Feng Wu jump in.
How was that possible? Elder Dai rushed to the opening where Feng Wu had entered and tried to get through. He made a diving gesture. Unfortunately, his head bumped into the dome with a thump. Ssss. A lump immediately formed on his forehead. He already had one from the first attempt, and the two symmetrical lumps now looked like a pair of horns. They were kind of adorable.
However, the elders of the Military Academy didn't see it that way. They were horrified.
"Why..."
"Why could she get in?"
"Why can't we?!"
The discovery felt like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads. They were so aggressive earlier, but now, they were all frozen on the spot and didn't know what to do.
Two people finally arrived at that moment. They were Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu. Seeing them, the elders became excited and greeted their respective schoolmasters.
Chen Ziyun and his friends sat quietly in the corner. The teenagers in the pool were also speechless. They watched the scene with blank looks on their faces. What... What was the occasion? Apart from this benefit, they even got to see so many important people. Their hearts had raced when Feng Wu confronted Elder Dongfang.
Elder Dongfang was the head of all those elders! However, Feng Wu simply snapped back at Elder Dongfang without hesitation! She was dauntless and wouldn't give in. Somehow, she won the argument.
And now, they saw the two schoolmasters, who almost never showed up in public. They were Mr. Lu of Imperial College and Mr. Xu of the Military Academy. What happened today was beyond everybody's expectations. They thought they were dreaming.
As soon as Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu landed, Elder Dai angrily went up to Mr. Xu and asked, "Mr. Xu, why did this happen?" Elder Dai pointed at what used to be the all-purpose transformation liquid. "Aren't we supposed to have at least half of it? It's all gone!"
Mr. Xu fixed his cold gaze on Elder Dai and asked in a stern tone, "Are you blaming me now?" He sounded like he could kill someone right now.
Elder Dai was petrified. Only then did he realize he was talking to Mr. Xu, a Spiritual Saint whose eyes he couldn't meet. Elder Dai immediately shut up, but he didn't seem convinced. He wasn't alone. None of the Military Academy's elders were convinced.
Mr. Xu didn't speak. He turned around and stared at someone on the other side of the dome. When his cold gaze met Feng Wu's eyes, Feng Wu felt like her eyes were being stabbed by needles. Even with the protective barrier, Feng Wu felt a searing headache, and her mind went blank for a moment. That was the effect of a capable master's gaze. Mr. Xu was one of the best cultivators in the empire, and he wouldn't let anyone challenge his authority.
