75: Yuxu Academy, which is alien to the outside world
"Dad, I have good news for you!"
Hearing his daughter's excited voice, Mo Fan couldn't help but be taken aback.
Good news?
What good news?
Didn't you go to participate in the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony?
Could it be that you selected the Master in the academy with the biggest chest?
"Ahem—"
Mo Fan coughed twice with an embarrassed look, clearing the messy thoughts from his mind and asking as if nothing were wrong:
"What good news? Are you about to become a Transcendent Martial Artist?"
"Dad, what are you thinking? Cultivation is done one step at a time; how could anyone reach the heavens in a single bound?
"I only just broke through to the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment yesterday; I'm still some distance away from being Transcendent."
Mo Fan: "?"
Mo Fan was dumbfounded.
He had just been joking casually.
Of course it was impossible to reach the heavens in one step and become Transcendent so quickly.
But your current cultivation speed is really a bit ridiculous!
Mo Fan remembered the day he had just passed the Yuxu Academy handyman assessment.
This girl had only just awakened her Invincible Physique, and her cultivation had barely broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
How long had it been since then?
Not even two and a half months.
And she had actually broken through to the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment?
This was even more ridiculous than him and his cheats!
At this rate, wouldn't she be invincible in two or three years?
Just then, his daughter's voice continued to come through the phone:
"Although there's still some distance, it's not that far off. The good news I wanted to tell you is this."
"Hmm?" Mo Fan became somewhat puzzled.
Mo Yingying continued, "It's like this, Dad. The Disciple Recruitment Ceremony is over, and I've been accepted as a True Disciple by the Chixia Peak Master."
Chixia Peak?
Sunset Glow Peak was also known as Chixia Peak.
Of course, that wasn't the point.
The point was that the Chixia Peak Master was a peerless beauty and the face of Yuxu Academy!
Furthermore, word had it that this person was extremely arrogant, daring to challenge the Sect Head, and was also covetous of her Disciples' beauty, liking to use Spirit Stones to insult them and force them to call her 'Sister.'
The most crucial point was—
The Chixia Peak Master had a big chest!
Super big!
(Cross out the above)
Mo Fan was a little dazed.
He didn't expect that a casual remark of his would actually result in his daughter choosing the one with the biggest chest as her Master!
Outrageous!
This is just too much!
When can I become a Disciple of Chixia Peak too?
It's truly something to yearn for.
Who wouldn't love a Master like that?
Big-chested older sisters are the GOAT!
While Mo Fan was seriously considering his future, Mo Yingying's voice rang out:
"Dad, are you listening?"
"Yes, I'm listening. Continue," Mo Fan said solemnly.
"Then what did I just say?" Mo Yingying asked.
"Uh, right, what did you just say?"
Mo Yingying: "..."
On the other end of the phone, Mo Yingying looked up at the sky speechlessly and continued:
"Dad, don't go getting any ideas about my Master. Even though she's your type, I've already verified it—she's not Mom.
"You can only belong to Mom; you can't have improper thoughts about other women!"
"Uh—" Mo Fan was stunned.
As expected of his daughter.
Her sense of vigilance was so high!
But your old man really just wanted a Master!
To misunderstand me like this?
Too much!
What kind of person do you take me for?
Compared to the ethereal Chixia Peak Master,
he even felt that Xu Jing was more suitable to be a wife.
What a good girl.
A bit silly.
Marrying her would definitely mean no arguments.
A harmonious family prospers in all things!
Composing himself, Mo Fan pulled the conversation back: "Anyway, what exactly is the good news you wanted to tell me?"
"Hmph, you interrupted me so much I almost forgot.
"It's like this: as a benefit for clearing the Trial Tower, the academy has arranged for me to enter a Secret Realm to Cultivate for two months.
"By the time I come out of the Secret Realm, I'll be almost Transcendent!"
"But didn't you say your Physique is invincible, that you can level up just by lying down, and that it's faster than working hard at cultivation?" Mo Fan asked in confusion.
Was all that just an excuse for being lazy?
"That is indeed the case, but there are substances inside the Secret Realm that can develop my Invincible Physique.
"Once I go in and absorb them, my Physique will definitely be strengthened. Breaking through to the Transcendence Realm in one go won't be a problem, and leveling up will be even faster in the future!"
"I see—" Mo Fan mused.
The current Mo Yingying indeed didn't quite live up to the image of someone with the bearing of a great emperor.
Presumably, it was because her Invincible Physique hadn't fully awakened.
"That is indeed good news, but is the Secret Realm dangerous?
"If it's dangerous, then don't go.
"You have an Invincible Physique; you can get stronger even by doing nothing. Slowly laying low until you're invincible is the right choice; there's no need to take risks."
Mo Fan was a bit worried about his daughter's safety.
"Don't worry, Dad, there won't be any danger. The so-called Secret Realm is actually a Ruin controlled by the academy.
"It's said to be one of the few Ruins excavated before the Spiritual Qi Recovery, and it has been passed down for three or four thousand years.
"Yuxu Academy's ability to rise and maintain its dominant position after thousands of years of inheritance is all thanks to this Ruin.
"Although many years have passed and the Ruin has been mostly developed,
"there are still some good things hidden inside.
"A few years ago, the academy turned it into a Secret Realm for Genius Disciples to train, find opportunities, and increase their strength.
"Because of this, the Secret Realm is safe. Generally, nothing goes wrong since it has been modified."
Hearing his daughter's words, Mo Fan was slightly stunned and fell into thought.
He hadn't known that Yuxu Academy actually controlled a Ruin, and one discovered before the Spiritual Qi Recovery at that.
The current Martial Arts System was related to these so-called Ruins.
After the Spiritual Qi Recovery, some Ancient Tombs that had never been discovered in history emerged.
These Ancient Tombs did not correspond to any dynasty in history and possessed strong Transcendent colors; they were called Ruins.
Humanity's ability to contend with the Demon and Fiend Races also benefited from the development of these Ruins.
One could imagine how important Ruins were.
Mo Fan thought of the Sword Intent Testing Stone Tablet in the backyard of the Sword Pavilion.
"Was that thing dug out from the Ruin controlled by Yuxu Academy?"
He felt it was very likely.
"What exactly are Ruins?"
Inexplicably, Mo Fan began to yearn for the Ruins.
He wanted to go inside and take a look.
With his Appraisal Technique, he might be able to discover some good things that ordinary people couldn't.
