Whoosh!

As the void fluctuated, an ancient verdant tree, tens of meters in height abruptly appeared, revealing itself before the crowd.

The ancient tree was luxuriant, sturdy, and vigorous. However, its branches were strangely hung down on one side.

Forming a magical treehouse veiled in circulating mystical blue light.

Whoosh!

When the crowds' eyes fell on the ancient tree, the its branches rose abruptly, transforming into the crown of a normal tree.

And as the massive tree's branches lifted, two figures appeared from within.

These two figures were Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru.

"Vice Dean."

Seeing Lin Shiru who appeared beneath the tree, the male tutor of Jiangzhou University and female tutor of Jumu University immediately came forward to greet her.

"My apologies, I'm a little late," Lin Shiru responded.

"It's alright, we've just arrived too," The female tutor of Jumu University said hurriedly. She looked like she was in her forties by appearance, but before Lin Shiru, she seemed very respectful.

"Mmn."

Lin Shiru nodded gracefully. Then, she looked at the students who were present, opening her mouth, and saying, "Since everyone is here, let them unleash their beasts. This time, I'll let Mr. Aucuba release more of his Aura of Eternity for everyone to cultivate."

Aside, Ye Xuan was a little dumbfounded when he heard them. Lin Shiru was not only a tutor of Jiangzhou University, but she was even the vice dean of Jiangzhou University? And another thing, who was this Mr. Aucuba that she mentioned? Was she referring to the ginormous tree hundreds of meters tall behind her?

"Alright!"

The female tutor of Jumu University revealed a gleeful expression upon hearing her. She swiftly turned around and talked to the students of Jumu University.

This time, more than a dozen students came from Jumu University. Likewise, they heard Lin Shiru's words and were overjoyed.

Every one of them let out their own Wood Element Beasts.

"Ye Xuan?"

However, amidst the crowd, Ye Han was at this moment, staring idly at Ye Xuan who was standing beside Lin Shiru.

His subconscious murmurings arrived in the ears of Ye Xuan in the distance due to it being a little high in volume.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was in a state of shock after learning about Lin Shiru's identity. When he suddenly heard someone calling his name, he lifted his head and spotted Ye Han who had thick eyebrows and big eyes standing beside a Wild Gold Treant amid the crowd.

"Ye Han?"

Seeing Ye Han, Ye Xuan, likewise, revealed an expression of surprise.

He did not expect that he would bump into Ye Han, who he could not contact even after several attempts, on his trip to Jiangzhou University.

"Hm? You know someone over here?"

Beside him, Lin Shiru asked curiously upon seeing Ye Xuan's expression.

"Yeah, it's my cousin," Ye Xuan said with excitement in his eyes.

"Go and talk to him then. It just so happens that I have things to tend to at the moment. Listen to the teachers over here, I'll get back to you later," Lin Shiru nodded and said to Ye Xuan.

As soon as her voice fell, all of a sudden, a branch descended from the Sacred Divine Wood behind her, and like a cutting machine, it swiped a line in the void behind her.

This stroke swiped out a shimmering blue portal.

After Lin Shiru was done exhorting Ye Xuan, she took a tiny step backward, thus entered the shimmering blue portal behind her and vanished in an instant.

Obvious, this was yet another ability of the Sacred Divine Wood.

However, this was not Fixed-point Teleportation which it performed earlier on. It seemed like some kind of shifting technique.

"Sacred Divine Wood…" Ye Xuan muttered inwardly as his passion for the ancient sprout became even more fervent. He wished that he could reach Silver level or Gold level right now. But after a split second, he cast this unrealistic thought away from his mind.

After greeting Mr. Yu as addressed by Lin Shiru and the female tutor of Jumu University, he turned around and walked to Ye Han.

At this moment, when the students present at the venue witnessed the power displayed by the Sacred Divine Wood, all of them became envious. Beasts that wield the Space Element was very scarce. Besides, there was another group of people who revealed curious expressions about the fact that Lin Shiru had brought Ye Xuan here personally.

Wondering from what kind of a background did Ye Xuan, who does not seem too old, came from.

"Ye Xuan, have you truly become Jiangzhou University's specially enrolled student?"

At this moment, seeing that Ye Xuan was coming towards himself, unable to hold in his curiosity, Ye Han came out of the crowd and dashed to Ye Xuan.

"Yeah. I awakened to my beast taming aptitude a week ago. It's pretty good, so I directly phoned Jiangzhou University," Ye Xuan explained.

At the same time, he talked about some of his own experiences during this period of time.

He always had a good relationship with Ye Han.

In their meeting at this moment, the two seem very ecstatic.

"Is your aptitude really that powerful that even your school's deputy dean is willing to waste her time to provide guidance for just you for two months?"

After hearing Ye Xuan's narration, the surprise Ye Han had on the inside did not dwindle even the slightest.

"To be honest with you, I also just learned that Miss Lin is the vice dean of Jiangzhou University."

When Ye Xuan heard him, he promptly put on a bitter smile.

"Just learned about that?"

Ye Han was taken aback, then he suddenly whispered, "Then do you know the true identity of the vice dean?"

"True identity? Does Miss Lin have another identity?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.

"That is something that everybody knows, okay?"

Ye Han looked at Ye Xuan speechlessly as if he was looking at a fool, "Let me tell you, the deputy dean's father is Jiangzhou University's first-ever dean, and her eldest brother is the second dean of the school. As for Jiangzhou University's current dean, the third dean, the person was her nephew.

Hearing Ye Han's words, Ye Xuan got even more dumbfounded. In fact, he had a certain amount of understanding towards Jiangzhou University. He knew that the founder of Jiangzhou University, who was also the first dean, went by the name of Lin Jianguo. He was a Challenger level Beast Tamer who arose hundreds of years ago, and had even earned himself merits of war for the entire Country of Xia.

He was extremely powerful, only that he had fallen in a colossal Beast Tide at some 20 years ago.

The second dean was Lin Jianguo's son, Lin Yuanshan. Likewise, he was a legendary person with tons of merits. However, more than a decade ago, he perished in a mysterious Secret Realm by accident. In that disaster, not only Lin Yuanshan had fallen.

There were also many of Jiangzhou University's tutors and students. And it was after that incident that Jiangzhou University began to decline. Besides, he was also aware of Jiangzhou University's third dean, Lin Shoucheng. He was Lin Yuanshan's only descendant.

Likewise, he was extraordinary, but due to the fact that Jiangzhou University had exhausted too many of its resources in the incident more than a decade ago, even until now, they have not been able to reverse Jiangzhou University's decline.

But Ye Xuan was genuinely oblivious that the founder of Jiangzhou University, Lin Jianguo, actually had a daughter.

And his daughter was Lin Shiru, the one who had been guiding him for more than a week.

"Brother Lejia isn't dependable at all," Ye Xuan muttered in his heart.

It had been so many days, but Nong Lejia had never mentioned this to him at all.
