At a certain place that night, something occurred.
Liu Fei who received orders from his master to go take care of the remnant soul of the traitor went inside the old building where Xiao Feng and Qianli battled.
Arriving at a certain room, he opened and found a black shadow locked with chains with diagrams inscribed in them.
" It's been a long time, senior brother ... "
" .... Liu Fei?! " The shadow replied with a cold voice " That dog master of yours finally sent you down to finish what he couldn't do 20 years ago?! hahaha ... "
" ... "
Liu Fei didn't respond, he took out a spear and then said
" Senior brother, there is no need to pretend to be chained. The old master already knows that you can move around this building. He was the one who destroyed your body and chained your soul 20 years ago after all... "
" Hahahaha... " The shadow responded with a creepy laughter
The shadow walked out unrestrained from the chains, then took out a black sword.
" So, did you come here prepared? You know that spiritual artifact spear of yours it was I who... "
" Stop talking nonsense, let's fight! "
" No need to rush, I know about that little trap card of yours you are hiding... Still, you won't stand a chance against me even in my spiritual form. "
" .... Whether I can destroy you or not, we will see after we fight! "
Liu Fei took his stance and rushed to the shadow.

Qianli finally stabilized her realm after 4 days and nights of training, it was the last day of the week.
During this past days, she went again and again to the lecture but couldn't find Wen Er, which left her somewhat sad.
Her disciple, Xiao Feng, continued to train with his peers. Since the year didn't begin yet he didn't really need any pointers from Qianli, which added to her depression even more.
So the only thing she could do was practice her own cultivation alone.

The next day, the headmaster and most of the disciples assembled at the hall of the Academy.
The new year ceremony began!
Disciples were given clothes fitting each one of them their respective department in which they will study. And then, they followed their teachers to their hall.
For the Formation and seals department, it was not Master Bai who came to greet the new disciples. Since he was the head of the department the teachers working under him were the ones who came to guide them.
The teachers in charge of the new disciples were three, one of them was Wen Er.
" Hmm, for now, follow us to the department hall, after that, you will choose between us three which teacher you will follow this first year to study under his tutelage. " One of the middle aged teachers said
The Twenty or so disciples went together following the teachers until they reached the hall.
Then the teachers entered their respective research rooms and told the students that they could only enter if they choose one of them, which will lead them during this first year.
The twenty or so disciples began discussing
" Hey, which one will you follow?? "
" I don't know, one of those two middle aged teachers maybe? "
" What about that beautiful goddess? "
" Hahaha, she is so young, what do you expect from someone like her. Did you see during their presentations she stayed silent and looked at us coldly? "
" But... I heard she is one of the top ranked who had the right to teach after reaching the 100th rank. And she also did the lectures during the ... "
" Yeah but so what? those contracted teachers are far better than our academy's teachers. Also, i heard that she didn't even come to the lectures for the past 5 days, someone irresponsible like her wouldn't be the best choice. Let's go! "
Contracted teachers are different from the Academy's teachers, the Academy's teachers come from the top 100th rank disciples to encourage their disciples to teach, so they are mostly composed of senior disciples who don't even number more than 5 people, Wer Er was one of them. Since most of the top 100th don't care about giving pointers to their fellow brothers/sisters and prefer to cultivate alone.
Contracted teachers as for them are rogue cultivators who were traveling across the lands. Their knowledge varies since they went to different places before. Master Bai who is in charge of the Formation And Seals department is one of them.
After listening to the rumors, the group of disciples went to either one of those two contracted teachers, but none of them went to Wen Er's room.
None apart from Qianli.
When she entered the research room, Wen Er was surprised but composed herself rather quickly and asked.
" Why are you here? Don't you hate me? "
Qianli bowed and didn't mind her cold attitude
" Greetings teacher, I came here to study under your tutelage for this year. Please guide me! "
Wen Er stayed silent for a while then responded
" Hmpf.... suit yourself. Take one of those desks and go study by yourself those diagrams first. If you don't understand something come and see me. "
Qianli nodded and then went to one of the desks in the corner which was old and dusty, she sat on the chair and began her self-study.
----------------------------------------
At the old building, Liu Fei was standing while his eyes were closed.
The spear which he held in his arm earlier was piercing the dark shadow to the floor...
After some moments, the dark shadow that lied there disappeared.
" Hahaha... I made it! "
Liu Fei opened his eyes, his pupils were pitch black. But after some time they reverted back to their original color.
" My dear little brother Liu Fei, you underestimated me far too much.... tsk " Liu Fei mumbled to himself, then he coldly continued "If it has been some days earlier I would've probably been the one who was sent to the underworld by now.... But thanks to those two kids that day, I managed to heal a part of my soul and some of my powers were back. That old dog didn't predict this huh... "
" Anyway, right now, your body is mine. I'm gonna have so much fun hahaha.... "
Reading some parts of the memories of Liu Fei, he then said
" Oh, it's that time of the year? Let it be, I'm gonna have fun killing those brothers of yours after I recuperate my strength, your soul is rather tasty I need some time to digest after all you were a rank 2 at the master realm "
A purplish aura came out of his body, then he shouted angrily with an evil smile on his face
" Then it will be the turn of that old dog...This year, the EverLasting Academy will finally shut down its doors forever! hahaha... Wait for me! "
