C65 (2/2)

Why does it seem like the dean really likes to do things for me? However, there really isn't any more. Yi Zhou said as he spread out his hands.

Let's go see the Elder Yun first. With that, the dean led the way out. Seeing that, Yi Zhou immediately followed. Yi Zhou followed the Principal to the northernmost area of the Academy. The Principal looked at the abandoned houses that were filled with weeds and said: This is the senate.

What? Just these few run-down houses were the senate? Yi Zhou opened his eyes wide, and asked in disbelief.

Hehe, it's here. The dean raised his hand and struck the grass. In the blink of an eye, a small path extended from within the cluster of dilapidated houses. The path was abnormally winding, and it was unknown where it led to.

Let's go. The Principal was happy to see Yi Zhou's stupefied expression, and said.

After walking for a while, the two of them turned a corner and arrived at a bright place. This was a village with a quiet river flowing in front of it. The houses built in the village were not luxurious, but they were much better compared to the dilapidated scenery outside.

Hehe, don't be surprised, let's go. The dean was the first to walk forward. Looking at this unusual village, Yi Zhou suddenly thought of the quiet village that he went to when he was young. They were both small villages, but that place was too different from this place. When he thought about that woman that he recognized when he was young, Yi Zhou felt that it was funny.

Sigh … I wonder how they are doing now? Yi Zhou said as if he was touched by something.

What did you say? The dean turned around and asked.

Oh, nothing, just a few memories from my childhood. Yi Zhou smiled at the Principal and said.

Weren't you in the Dark Forest when you were a kid? The dean suddenly said.

Eh, how did the dean know that I was in the Dark Forest? Yi Zhou asked suspiciously.

This … this was not a secret. As long as he inquired about it in the capital, he would know. The dean said.

So you investigated me. Yi Zhou curled his lips and said. It was common practice for every student in the academy to investigate this matter. After the dean finished speaking, he walked away without even turning his head back.

Hehe, that's enough, didn't you hear from Jing Chu that the wood elemental energy is in the academy? Elder Yun laughed as he interrupted the two of them.

Exactly. Yi Zhou glanced at the Principal and said to the Elder Yun.

Can you tell me why you want wood elemental energy? Elder Yun said.

Absorb. Yi Zhou said innocently.

Puff … Haha … The dean spat out the mouthful of tea that he had just swallowed.

What's wrong? Yi Zhou stared at the Principal curiously.

What's wrong? Of course it's funny. Absorbing elemental energy, not to mention the fact that you're seeking death, just an elemental affinity is enough to scare you off. The dean laughed heartily.

Don't laugh, Yi Zhou. Why do you think you can absorb the wood type energy? Elder Yun suddenly became stern, stopped the Principal's laughter and asked Yi Zhou.

Elder Yun, can you tell me what elemental affinity is first? Yi Zhou asked.

Ha … Uh. Just as the dean was about to laugh, he was stopped by a glare from Elder Yun.

Elemental affinity was a type of physique. Usually, each person's physique has elements that exceed their normal value, and those that exceed that value indicate that they have affinity for the element. Only with a 90% affinity could he get close to the elemental energy and not be rejected. Elder Yun said.

Oh, yes. Yi Zhou replied.

Can you tell me why you think you can absorb wood elemental energy? Elder Yun said gently.

Oh, it's because I once obtained a Martial Skill that absorbs elemental energy. Helplessly, Yi Zhou could only speak the truth.

What? Elder Yun and the two of them exclaimed together.

The Martial Skill that absorbs elemental energy? Does this world really exist? Was the prophecy true? Doesn't that mean he … The Elder Yun thought for a while and muttered to himself.

I can't take out this Martial Skill, so I'm sorry, but I can't show it to you. Yi Zhou said regretfully.

Hehe, that's fine. I'll tell you about the wood element. Actually, it's not in the academy. The Elder Yun said with a smile.

Where is that? Yi Zhou anxiously asked.

In the depths of the forest, sigh … It was my fault. The Elder Yun sighed, and continued, Back then, when the Mu City was destroyed, the wood attribute energy also entered the mortal world. And I found it on a fortuitous trip. At that time, I was also in my prime, so I planned to subdue it and bring it back to the academy.

As I expected, it took me a whole day to subdue it. So I took it back to the Institute. Who knew that I would waste so much time and equipment, but I was still unable to refine it. One night, when I wasn't paying attention, he suddenly escaped. By the time I discovered it, it was already too late. It successfully merged with the entire forest, and after searching the entire forest for three days and three nights, I was still unable to identify which tree was its true incarnation.

I had no choice but to compromise and let him stay in the forest. Afterwards, in merely a year's time, that piece of forest suddenly grew quite a bit, turning into the current serene forest. Some of the trees in the dark forest were incomparably tall and some were incomparably thick. The whole forest was dark and terrifying, with all sorts of strange magical beasts growing in it. It was one of the forbidden areas for humans. The Elder Yun said leisurely.

Thump Thump... After Yi Zhou heard the Elder Yun's introduction, he sat on the ground.

What, you're scared now? Elder Yun asked with a smile on his face.

Fear, joke, I'll be afraid. Yi Zhou forced himself to stand up, and straightened his spine.

Hehe, it's good that you're not afraid. Then will you go to the forest? The Elder Yun asked with a smile.

Go, go... Why not? He had to try his luck. Yi Zhou was startled, and said.

You're right, then go. Dean, turn around and prepare a good coffin. Elder Yun shouted to the Principal.

Alright, don't worry Elder Yun. Whether it's crystal or black pine, I can find them for you. The dean replied with a smile.

No, it can't be, Elder Yun, we won't need to prepare the coffin, right? Yi Zhou stuttered.
