Ye Mo defeated Mad Sword, severing his arm with the help of his Immortal Realm domain. Just as Ye Mo expected to be freed, Elder Mingjian attacked him with a powerful law fluctuation. However, Elder Hai, a guardian of the Five Elements Pavilion, intervened, stopping the attack and convincing Ye Mo to apologize to Elder Mingjian.

The notoriously bad-tempered Elder Mingjian was known to be impossible to deal with, even when Hai Gongling intervened, he refused to let Ye Mo off the hook.

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-robed elder hidden nearby frowned and appeared in front of Elder Mingjian, saying, "Elder Ming, I think we should let this pass. Elder Hai has never stepped in for a student before, and even if you don’t want to give Ye Mo face, you should at least give Elder Hai face."

This white-robed elder ranked fifth among the top ten elders and was named Bai Wuzi, the elder brother of Master Bai Xuzi. The two of them had been part of the Daoxian Martial Arts Academy, and had stayed in the Immortal Martial Academy ever since.

"No way, if I don’t get a satisfactory explanation today, I won’t let him off."

Elder Mingjian said coldly.

"Mingjian!"

Haibo Ling’s expression suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly, "Don’t go overboard. Today, I am determined to protect Ye Mo. Try touching him and see what happens."

Not only was Ye Mo a student favored by the dean, but even he was quite satisfied with him. He had observed the entire situation earlier, and knowing Elder Mingjian’s character, he figured this incident was motivated by Elder Mingjian’s embarrassment, wanting to deal with Ye Mo.

Elder Mingjian was also surprised, seemingly not anticipating that Haibo Ling would become angry for Ye Mo’s sake. Even when Zhou Han wanted to become Haibo Ling’s apprentice as a freshman, Haibo Ling had directly refused.

Although Haibo Ling’s cultivation was not very high, his understanding of martial arts was unparalleled, and students that he guided often found great prospects ahead.

Moreover, Haibo Ling was the oldest Earth Tier elder in the academy, and the dean had been guided by him in his youth.

However, gaining guidance from Haibo Ling was extremely difficult. In Elder Mingjian’s memory, only the dean had been guided by Haibo Ling.

This made Elder Mingjian secretly astonished. What qualities did Ye Mo possess that attracted Haibo Ling’s favor?

"Since Elder Hai has intervened, I can’t pretend this isn’t happening."

Elder Mingjian spoke, looking at Ye Mo, "Ye Mo, let’s leave today’s matter as it is. My reputation as an old man is completely squandered, but my first disciple will be ending his retreat at the end of the semester, and in the semester-end competition, I will have him challenge you, no matter your strength, he will restore my dignity as his master."

After speaking, Elder Mingjian left the bamboo grove with Mad Sword and Xuanyuan Ze.

As for Xuanyuan Ze, he looked at Ye Mo with resentment, determined that he would make Ye Mo regret one day.

"Alright, everyone disperse, Master Bai Xuzi’s lecture is about to begin, prepare yourselves."

As Haibo Ling spoke, all the freshmen directly left the bamboo grove, Ling Shan also glanced at Ye Mo before following the crowd away.

"Elder Mingjian really has a lot of disciples!"

Ye Mo shook his head unconsciously. Today, having defeated two of his disciples in succession, he somehow had another disciple, and judging by his tone, this disciple’s strength seemed formidable.

"No matter how many, they are merely your stepping stones. Being at the Immortal Class First Layer, defeating Mad Sword is indeed commendable, take advantage of this time to cultivate, and strive to enter the Heavenly Boundary by the semester’s end."

Haibo Ling said calmly.

"Entering the Heavenly Boundary in a year’s time? How is that possible?"

Ye Mo was somewhat knowledgeable about the Heavenly Boundary; only by reaching the Immortal Profound Realm could one enter it. Only upon entering the Heavenly Boundary could one stand out in the harsh cultivation environment, whereas the Earth Tier was merely child’s play.

"For others, it might be impossible, but for you, nothing is impossible. I set the dean’s time to ascend to the Immortal Profound Realm at three years, but your natural talents far exceed the dean’s, so I set it for you to ascend in one year."

Haibo Ling said.

"You set the dean’s time? Who exactly are you?"

Ye Mo’s face revealed a look of surprise; his cultivation clearly wasn’t stronger than the dean’s, yet he set the dean’s cultivation goals.

"Aside from the previous dean, my qualifications might be the strongest in this academy. However, due to certain reasons, my cultivation halted at the Fifth-grade Immortal Honor, and I’ve been residing in the Five Elements Pavilion for perhaps a million years. I’ve witnessed countless extraordinary talents in the Immortal Martial Academy, and the dean was the only one I truly recognized as a genius, and my judgment was indeed accurate, as he is now the dean of the Immortal Martial Academy."

Haibo Ling said, a look of proud satisfaction unhidden on his face.

"So the dean is this elder’s disciple."

Ye Mo was moved and looked at Haibo Ling with a touch of respect. Despite his cultivation not being high, his insights about life’s great path might even surpass Glarxi.

"Elder, Zhou Han’s natural talent should also be quite exceptional, why didn’t you take him as your apprentice?"

Ye Mo continued to ask.

"Zhou Han’s ambition was excessively large, I discerned it with a single glance back then. I repeatedly advised the dean to curb Zhou Han’s development; indeed, in line with my prediction, Zhou Han’s ambition gradually emerged as he sought to control the entire Immortal Martial Academy."

Haibo Ling shook his head involuntarily, saying, "Zhou Han is indeed a genius, and even the other three major academies had no solutions for Zhou Han. If an immortal world showdown occurs and Zhou Han participates, his brilliance will only continue to grow."

"Enough about him, you should focus on your training. Utilize the academy’s resources without resorting to exchanging immortal stones, use merits instead, this is all I’ll say, comprehend it well."

After speaking, Haibo Ling’s figure began to distort and gradually disappeared from the spot.

"Elder Hai advises not to exchange academy resources with immortal stones, likely wishing to caution against taking shortcuts."

Common wealthy heirs often use immortal stones to exchange for rare academy resources, securing resources with ease, but it’s too smooth, hindering future cultivation. Haibo Ling encourages using merits for exchange, urging efforts in completing perilous tasks and earning merit points through one’s own hard work, granting true value to the exchanges.

"Zhou Han, what kind of figure is he? His tales echo everywhere."

Ye Mo thought for a while, then smirked inwardly, a dismissive disdain emanating from the Defier of Fate within him.

"One day, my legends will resound through the Immortal Martial Academy, and Zhou Han will become mere history!"

His steps lifted slightly, striding forward with unwavering resolve, as if ascending the ladder to the path of greatness.
