Ye Qingzhou reappeared before everyone, brimming with energy, his eyes twinkling like stars, his entire being transformed from the inside out in a remarkable change.

Clearly, he must have gained immense benefits within Yuelu Academy.

At this moment, many martial arts newcomers couldn't sit still, focusing their spirits and earnestly preparing to challenge the academy.

Linjiang First High School was no exception; Lu Yifan, Yuh Shouping, and Hou Fei all stepped through the academy gates one after another, exhibiting their most skilled martial techniques in fierce battles against the papermen.

Xu Yuebing was also tempted initially, but when she turned to look, she saw Ye Qingzhou standing motionless, prompting her to ask curiously, "Aren't you going to challenge the academy?"

Ye Qingzhou looked up at the blazing sun in the sky and said something Xu Yuebing couldn't understand: "The timing isn't right, the method isn't right."

"Timing? Method?"

Xu Yuebing was bewildered, but seeing Ye Qingzhou not entering Yuelu Academy, she decided not to go in either.

Ye Qingzhou leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "We can come back at night and challenge the academy together then."

"Alright."

Xu Yuebing felt delighted inside, though her face remained icy, revealing no trace of her true emotions.

After dinner and a short rest, Ye Qingzhou went to the girls' dormitory to call on Xu Yuebing.

The moon hung at the willow's peak, below it people met after twilight.

The teasing expressions on the faces of the girls in the dormitory caused Xu Yuebing to let go of her Ice Fairy restraint, her cheeks turning a shade of rosy embarrassment akin to the evening glow in the sky, truly beautiful.

And Yuan Zhiyi, answering Ye Qingzhou's call, was dumbfounded: "You want to challenge now? At this hour?"

"Why not?"

"It's not that you can't... fine, do as you please."

Yuan Zhiyi was left speechless, wondering who in their right mind would choose nighttime to challenge the academy?

Really, it's just wasting time!

Upholding the principle of sharing difficulties among brothers, Yuan Zhiyi also called over Zeng Jixia, who was quite displeased, as he was just about to go on a date with his girlfriend.

"Yuan Zhiyi, you don't have a girlfriend, but I do, can't you let a person be?"

"Zeng Jixia, don't forget we almost pledged brotherhood, promised mutually to share hardships?"

"Forget it, thankfully we didn't find a chicken head to chop, otherwise I'd have lost big."

The two soon arrived at Yuelu Academy, where Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yuebing had been waiting for a while.

Zeng Jixia was still thinking about returning to his girlfriend, for a romantic evening, so he couldn't help but urge Ye Qingzhou: "When are you going to start the challenge?"

"Now."

Saying this, Ye Qingzhou sat cross-legged at the academy gate entrance.

"???"

Zeng Jixia's eyes widened: "Aren't you going to challenge the academy? Why are you sitting down?"

"This is the correct way to challenge the academy."

Ye Qingzhou then asked Xu Yuebing to sit down with him, and he performed the Heart Sword, using the Secret Technique of Mutual Understanding to draw part of Xu Yuebing's consciousness towards himself.

After speaking, Ye Qingzhou closed his eyes tightly, displaying a spiritual martial technique he had never used before.

Yin Skill, Divine Traveling in the Void!

This was a special martial technique learned after achieving mastery in Yin Skill during a battle against Li Yanxin.

Actually, rather than being a martial technique, it's more of a divine technique.

Ye Qingzhou sat still, his heart and will in an indiscernible yin spirit form that left his physical self, traversing the void.

This is the method of Divine Traveling in the Void.

The way yin spirit obtains information is different from humans.

Due to losing the physical body, yin spirit also loses human's five senses and six perceptions.

But with loss comes gain; Ye Qingzhou lost the five senses and six perceptions and likewise shed the physical limitations, allowing his flawless Sword Heart to mirror this fantastical world like a clear mirror, reflecting a broader reality.

The sound waves, light waves, electromagnetic waves, and various undulations in nature, which were once invisible, are now clearly visible before the yin spirit, as clear as palm lines.

Even radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays become perfectly visible, reflecting into Ye Qingzhou's spiritual world.

Waves, omnipresent.

Having lost the visual aspect of perception, Ye Qingzhou instead saw the deeper structures of the world, witnessing a more true side behind the myriad colors.

But with gain comes loss.

Ye Qingzhou's yin spirit is still too fragile; once detached from the protective raft of the physical body, it faces a barrage of cosmic rays, like a person falling into a vast ocean without a boat.

That is why Ye Qingzhou didn't rashly use the Divine Traveling in the Void method during the day, as facing the sun directly would be akin to a drowning person facing turbulent waves.

"Could the two seniors please protect me?"

"???"

Zeng Jixia and Yuan Zhiyi were startled by the sudden voice in their minds; then they realized the one "speaking" to them was Ye Qingzhou.

But Ye Qingzhou, sitting on the ground, hadn't opened his mouth!

"Thought Transmitting Sound, Yin Spirit Emergence!?"

"What? Isn't this the secret never shared by Three Pure Ones Mountain? Rumor has it only elder-level sect leaders can comprehend it; how did Ye Qingzhou learn it?"

Zeng Jixia and Yuan Zhiyi exchanged glances, both feeling a surge of shock and awe inside.

Just who is this martial arts genius before them?

He even mastered the Yin Spirit Emergence technique from Three Pure Ones Mountain!

Ye Qingzhou, however, ignored their thoughts. At this moment, his yin spirit was guiding Xu Yuebing's consciousness, passing through Yuelu Academy's gates, and the two of them were directly floating inside.
