[Battle Victory]

Rather than complicating things with explanations during the battle, he’d prefer to win directly.

It’s a simple truth.

....

Ye Mingqiu returned to the audience seats, his eyes downcast, casually agreeing to Ge Wu’s request to sell the combat recordings as he sat down, reminiscing about the insights gained during the battle and simulating whether there were even better solutions.

Beside him, Tang Ruobing’s lips slowly curved into a subtle smile, feeling extremely satisfied.

She knew early on that Ye Mingqiu was the kind of person purely focused on combat, who doesn’t care about things ordinary people might be concerned with once in a combat state. Even with almost certain victory in hand, he wouldn’t hold back before truly achieving triumph.

Soon, a hurried sound of footsteps approached, and Yalis arrived at Ye Mingqiu’s side, her gaze flickering with intense heat.

So impolite.

Ye Mingqiu thought inwardly.

"Hoo~"

Yalis took a deep breath, calming her breath and posture slightly, and seriously said, "A hundred thousand Spiritual Points, tell me how you found me."

So polite.

Ye Mingqiu changed his opinion and replied, "I can perceive your hostility and murderous intent, so your ability to hide your aura and figure is ineffective against me."

"Hostility Perception?"

Yalis was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "You actually learned that skill? Haven’t you wasted a slot on such Universal Skills? You only get five skill bars at Tier One."

"I didn’t learn it."

"Hm?"

"It’s simply that my perception is strong, sensitive to murderous intent and hostility from enemies," Ye Mingqiu honestly responded.

Personally, he speculated that the reason for the strength of his perception ability towards hostility/murderous intent was that his Soul Strength and Soul Potential were robust, providing additional amplification to perception, greatly enhancing the perception effect of Combat Instinct.

"Talent?"

Yalis frowned slightly.

Rather than believing his perception was sufficiently strong, she preferred to think Ye Mingqiu was hinting at talent, because if it were pure Hostility Perception, his perception would be terrifyingly high, which is not typical for Spiritualists.

Even Extreme Legendary Level Spiritualists shouldn’t possess such keen perception.

Is it Future Sight?

Those techniques before mentioned that the Divine Monarch might have the ability of Future Sight, foreseeing their technique moves, and such level of sight should just be his Passive. Once he activates the Active, he could foresee where I would emerge from.

So that’s it!

Yalis instantly pieced it together, suspecting Ye Mingqiu didn’t just defeat her due to decisive ruthlessness, but also because the side effects of Future Sight on him were also enormous, forcing him to end the battle quickly to avoid further unexpected changes.

Understanding everything, her demeanor gradually relaxed, realizing that against an enemy with [Future Sight], hiding one’s figure is indeed ineffective, being defeated is natural.

[Hint: You’ve received a transfer...]

"Here, as promised Spiritual Points," Yalis said with a smile.

"Got it, Ge Wu is selling combat recordings about me, you can ask him for it by saying I authorized it." Ye Mingqiu accepted the Spiritual Points, replying politely.

"Thanks. Oh, by the way, just curiously, are you a senior taking the national exams this year?"

"Yes."

"What a coincidence, me too. I’m from Cyan Mountain Academy, where are you from?" Yalis asked with a smile.

"Chenghai City’s Second High School."

"Ah?"

Yalis was immediately taken aback, her eyes filled with bewilderment, voice trembling, "Is this, Chenghai City’s Second High School...the type of ordinary high school I imagine?"

"Yes."

"Are you just taking a leisurely excursion in the mortal world?"

Yalis scoffed.

In the Spiritualists’ world, high schools are mostly divided. Ye Mingqiu’s Second High School was a regular high school (compared to Spiritualists), while above regular high schools were key ones, and above those were top high schools.

Yalis attended Cyan Mountain Academy, an institution beyond ordinary schools, operated by major families. Quality levels vary widely; trash academies are avoided even by dogs, while top academies surpass top high schools with superior learning resources.

Thus, upon hearing Ye Mingqiu came from a regular high school, Yalis was deeply astonished, as regular high schools aren’t strong. Having a Tier 2 student by senior graduation is rare and securing the Celestial Ladder top is even more unlikely.

Yalis was sure that it’s rare for regular high school resources to foster a Divine Monarch-level Spiritualist; even if it does, it’s largely unrelated to the school.

"By the way, curious again, how’s the Spiritualist training at a regular high school? How’s it going in your class?" Yalis asked curiously.

"Three."

"Three Hero Level?"

Yalis imagined the lowest possibility, considering regular schools might have fewer Hero-Level individuals, it’s normal.

"No, only three people become Spiritualists."

Ye Mingqiu replied.

"...."

Yalis fell into momentary silence, hesitating as she looked at Ye Mingqiu, ultimately couldn’t help but say, "Is your class in freshman year?"

"Senior year, Support System."

"Support system? You? Ah??"

Yalis couldn’t hold back, her expression vividly animated like fireworks; she’d imagined more possibilities: Tank, Magic, Warrior, since his abilities seemed strong in those areas too.

But she never expected him to be of the Support System? This is called support? Hmm? Explain to me, what is a Support System?

"Pfft!"

Tang Ruobing couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

Her laughter successfully garnered Yalis’s attention, who turned and curiously asked, "You two seem close, how did you meet?"

"Classmates."

"Oh, middle school classmates?"

Yalis asked curiously, as entering the ladder rank weren’t ordinary people, the chance of meeting in regular high school was slim, middle school acquaintance seemed likely.

"No."

"Elementary school classmates?"

"No."

"Kindergarten classmates?"

"High school classmates, I’m from Chenghai Second High School as well." Tang Ruobing said with a smile.

"You?"

Yalis checked again, ensuring she didn’t see wrong, Broken Star, Ladder Ranking second.

Good heavens! Just direct amazing!

It’s like a group tour outing in the mortal world!

Chenghai Second Middle School just hit a lucky jackpot, simultaneously encountering the Hidden Dragon and Phoenix Chick, sweeping the ladder ranking spots one and two, Chenghai Second Middle School’s reputation will soar.

"After this ladder ranking ends, many schools will likely extend offers to you, what’s your plan?" Yalis asked inquisitively.

Ye Mingqiu looked at Tang Ruobing, who replied, "Choice depends on treatment, target is top universities, though major forces might be more tempting, actual status promotion channels could be restrictive, fairness might be slightly lacking."

"Is that your consideration?"

Yalis sighed, "Actually, top universities aren’t much better, everyone maintains surface-level fairness; in the Spiritualist world, strength rules, when competing for resources, power tends to favor its own."

Her gaze subtly shifted; although Tang Ruobing didn’t explicitly say, her choice implied she wasn’t from a notable force, even if she was, there probably were some unspeakable reasons.

Considering this, Yalis smiled, "Let’s add each other as friends, I’m from Tree Court, and if there’s an opportunity, we can connect and talk more in the future."

"Okay."

Tang Ruobing nodded.

"Ding!"

A Spirit Realm notification sounded, Yalis instinctively looked at the chat tab, her eyes gradually changing, muttering, "Dreamweaver’s realm is opened, soon...top Spiritualists worldwide must take action."

Dream Weaver...

Tang Ruobing lowered her gaze, although Ye Mingqiu had claimed not to know why Dream Weaver chose now to weave realms.

But, she believed that Dream Weaver’s realm-laying likely involves Ye Mingqiu, since its realm material can come from various sources, this time probably related to Ye Mingqiu.

Ye Mingqiu, also coincidentally gained the [Lord of Light and Shadow] title after the world exploration.

So...

The [Lord of Light and Shadow] is likely the focus of Dream Weaver’s realm. Remembering it will likely yield certain advantages.

Thus, Tang Ruobing has already informed her father about this intelligence.

Hoping he returns triumphant!
