Chapter 2813: Venerable Sacred Director (2/2)

Qius.h.i.+ bowed before leaving.

All the students in Repentance Inst.i.tution admired the new student for obtaining the sword.

“So lucky, people have tried and failed but he got it in one go. Yeah, you can’t get luckier than this.” One person said enviously.

“Hence the phrase - a fool has his own fortune.” One student smiled: “Fellow Student Li came from the sin tribe, that’s a very humble beginning. He’s clumsy and slow to react too, but maybe being a little slow isn’t a bad thing.”

Some of them viewed Li Qiye’s nonchalant att.i.tude as being slow-witted. They excitedly discussed recent events when suddenly, a loud blast resounded as if a meteor had just landed on their inst.i.tution.

The whole place trembled as a result. Winds made debris and leaves scatter chaotically. Some trees fell down and flowers became victims.

A ma.s.sive beast arrived at the academy, nearly trampling the whole place.

“Oh, mother…” One startled student looked up and saw a ma.s.sive lion.

It was tall enough to shoulder the entire sky. Its tail spanned like a mountain range. Just one light tail swing could sink the earth.

It was golden from top to bottom with fur long enough to look like gigantic waterfalls pouring down from the sky - truly a magnificent creature.

The most terrifying thing was its beastly aura br.i.m.m.i.n.g with chaos - something akin to standing before a billion hungry lions wanting to tear its victims to pieces.

The students felt their legs trembling and dropped to the ground. The weaker ones couldn’t move in the slightest.

“Hmph!” A scowl erupted like thunder. The students’ dao heart was affected by this supreme divinity. Even the stronger ones dropped to the ground now.

Everyone saw an old man sitting on top of the lion. He had a stalwart stature with long golden hair resembling the mane of a lion. His eyes were extremely sharp and intimidating.

“Venerable Sacred Director, please recall your divinity and stop scaring these inexperienced children.” Du Wenrui finally showed himself and bowed.

“Raaa!” Gales formed again as the lion soared to the sky, blotting out the sun in an awe-inspiring fas.h.i.+on.

The old man also recalled his divinity, allowing everyone to breathe easy. They could finally get up from the ground now.

“Thank you, Sacred Director.” Wenrui bowed again.

“So that’s the Sacred Director.” New students found this t.i.tle unfamiliar.

“A supervisor of our system. His power should be unfathomable.” His friend told him.

The rest of the spectators became afraid and stared at the old man up above with reverence.

This old man stared at the pond and the crumbled statue of Desolate Saint with a solemn expression.

“Would you like some tea?” Wenrui asked with a smile.

“No need, I’m quite busy right now.” The old man responded.

“May I ask why you are here?” Wenrui asked.

“To figure out some issues.” The old man snorted. Judging by the casual tone of this conversation, these two knew each other and should actually have a good relations.h.i.+p.

“Broken statue and losing the Sword of Repentance, this is a great offense.” He coldly added.

His demeanor made the students shudder. After all, Repentance Inst.i.tution was only a tiny academy while the supervisor was responsible for watching the entire system.

1. The author is being even more cryptic than usual in the last few chapters. I’m translating while interpreting the plot myself. There might be minor points or words that I need to change in order to get the full meaning across. It’s difficult to translate the intent of the author when he is purposely being vague. Also, I’ve changed a few terms. Academy of Light and Desolate Saint have popped up before; they used to be translated as Radiance Inst.i.tution and Farwild Saint.
