Under the interference of this voice, Evan Grant's movements paused slightly, and the sharp sword intent that had condensed in his eyes instantly dissipated. In less than ten seconds, he had completely transformed from a peerless divine sword into an ordinary teenager!

Opening the door, Evan Grant came to the living room and sat down in his usual spot.

“Hurry up and eat. After breakfast, come with me to the academy!”

“Academy?”

“That’s right, Xingyao Academy! Xingyao Academy is the only nationally recognized academy in Xingyao City. There are tens of millions of people in the whole city, and countless young people want to get in but can’t. They have to settle for second best and join those private academies. You must cherish every minute you have at the academy!”

“Um…”

Before Evan Grant could finish speaking, Rachel Derek had already furrowed her delicate brows: “What, are you trying to come up with another excuse to get out of it?”

This expression, appearing on her not-yet-seventeen-year-old face, actually added a touch of cuteness.

As for the academy, Evan Grant naturally felt some resistance in his heart. However, considering that he had come to this world without understanding its cultivation system at all, and in order to gain a direct understanding of the high-level martial artists here, he finally nodded!

“That’s more like it! Hurry up and eat, then pack your things and check so you don’t forget anything… You haven’t been to the academy for so many days, you’ve already fallen behind in a lot of classes. When you get there, ask your classmates, or go consult your mentor one-on-one. Write down everything they’ve taught these days. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me! Oh, and if you don’t want to embarrass yourself, don’t bother Hannah Cooper at the academy anymore. She’s a prodigy about to break through to the Moon God Realm at the fourth level of martial artist. Even if you’re still hung up on her and insist on marrying no one else, you’ll have to wait until you reach the fourth level of martial artist, break through the first layer of the Moon God Realm, and get a one-star clearance before you even think about it. Do you hear me?”

Evan Grant nodded, eating the delicious breakfast bite by bite. He was already used to Rachel Derek lecturing him almost every day.

Breakfast didn’t take much time. After eating, Rachel Derek took Evan Grant to Xingyao Academy. The way they walked, one in front and one behind, was just like an older sister taking her younger brother to school, making people wonder who was really sixteen and who was eighteen.

Chapter Eight: The Academy

Xingyao Academy, the only public academy in Xingyao City!

This academy is located in the northern suburbs of Xingyao City, made up of six high-rise buildings, each over forty stories tall. Two of these are dormitories, housing outstanding students who have come from nearby satellite cities and towns. Of the remaining four towers, three are teaching buildings representing the second to fourth levels of martial artists, and the last one houses the academy staff, many mentors, and their families!

When Rachel Derek brought Evan Grant to Xingyao Academy, it was almost time for class. At that moment, thousands upon thousands of students could be seen swarming into the dozens-of-stories-high teaching buildings like ants. Such a spectacular scene would be hard to find in schools of the Common Era.

However, despite the huge number of students—hundreds entering and exiting each teaching building—everything was very orderly. There was no one cutting in line or causing a disturbance, and even those shouting or chatting loudly were extremely rare. Most students, when they needed to talk, would lower their voices so as not to disturb others. The whole academy, though crowded, was filled with an orderly atmosphere of learning!

“You’re a third-level martial artist, so you’re not in the same teaching building as me. I won’t walk you up. Go on your own!”

Once inside the academy, Rachel Derek immediately said this!

“Okay, thank you!”

“There you go again with the thank yous…”

Rachel Derek muttered strangely to herself, heading toward the teaching building for fourth-level martial artists!

However, after going up to the first floor, she stopped in a corner, keeping an eye on Evan Grant, as if worried that without her supervision, he would drop his disguise and skip class on the spot.

Fortunately, Evan Grant didn’t let her down!

Seeing him slowly enter the teaching building and head toward his classroom, Rachel Derek breathed a slight sigh of relief, finally at ease as she went to her own class.

Evan Grant naturally didn’t know that after Rachel Derek left, she was still keeping an eye on him. At this moment, he had already taken out his student card and was looking for his classroom.

Although this high-rise building covered a huge area, there were basically only two classes on each floor. After figuring out the pattern, he quickly arrived at the twenty-second floor—3-22B, the class in the east.

As soon as Evan Grant entered class 3-22B, a burst of whistles immediately rang out from the spacious classroom!

“Yo yo! Look who’s here! The hero of class 3-22B has returned! With the strength of a third-level martial artist, he ventured alone into the C-level danger zone of the Nightblood Forest. What courage!”

“Haha, isn’t that right! But what amazes me most is how lucky he is—he actually came back alive. It’s just unbelievable!”
