The Black Moon Apostle group, Baiyu wasn’t sure how large it really was.
Each Black Moon Apostle was like an extremely skilled hunter, enduring hunger and thirst, moving through the darkness, waiting for the perfect moment to kill their prey in one strike.
The reason for Yi Xian becoming a Black Moon Apostle, Baiyu didn’t want to pursue.
At that time, his spiritual intuition told him that choosing Yi Xian would lead to unexpected developments.
For now, it’s impossible for the other party to discover his identity as a Black Moon Apostle...
Safety issues could be assured.
As long as he’s at school, there wouldn’t be any danger.
However, Yi Xian’s ambiguous gaze did make Baiyu feel uncomfortable. For someone to become a teacher at Celestial South Martial Arts University, they definitely weren’t an ordinary person.
There weren’t many words exchanged between the two.
The students Yi Xian mentored over the years mostly died in the Spirit Realm due to various tasks, yet she seemed unfazed by this.
She treated Baiyu the same way.
She handed over some notes and materials to Baiyu and then buried herself in her villa’s laboratory, clearly indicating she didn’t wish to converse more.
That was fine as well.
Baiyu had always liked relying on himself.
Yi Xian being able to give him many of her notes and materials was already a significant gift.
Returning to the dormitory.
He first put away these materials.
Then he opened his phone and found a string of messages from Qin Shou.
The two had always kept in touch.
However, their choices for their future paths were different.
Baiyu chose to further his studies at a martial school, but Qin Shou, for some unknown reason, wanted to join the military.
With his college entrance exam scores, getting into the military was a breeze.
Moreover, it was the former unit Pang Fei served in back then.
With Pang Fei’s influence, life in the military shouldn’t be too hard for the kid.
"Lan Ziyue seems to be at Maple Leaf Martial Arts University. Among the two martial schools in Maple Leaf County, the prestige of Maple Leaf Martial Arts University indeed overshadows Celestial South Martial Arts University. After all, it was named after the county."
Baiyu checked his contact list.
Many high school classmates, after getting into martial schools, would likely be hard to meet again soon. As for those who didn’t get in, meeting them would be even more challenging.
The gap between ordinary people and martial artists or extraordinaires was too vast.
The worlds they faced were on completely different levels.
After replying to Qin Shou’s message.
Baiyu went to his room’s mailbox and took out the letters inside.
"Two letters, one from Erin and the other...from the Third Prince?"
Baiyu’s brows furrowed slightly.
Erin’s letter mainly described recent company issues and her security status.
Everything was unchanged from when Baiyu left.
Without addressing the pressure from other trade companies, Longteng Company would find it hard to operate, which Baiyu had to tackle slowly.
The Third Prince’s letter first exchanged some pleasantries, inquiring about Baiyu’s well-being, then reminded him not to forget attending the baron ceremony.
The main point was the host of Baiyu’s baron ceremony, the Count of Nanmu.
This count was a staunch supporter of the Third Prince, and he also held information about the next Spirit Realm tide, and would lead Baiyu into the Spirit Realm tide for the first time.
The Third Prince had no other demands.
Perhaps because it was Baiyu’s first time entering the Spirit Realm tide, his greatest hope was for Baiyu to return safely.
Flames engulfed the letter paper.
Baiyu released his hand, watching the letter burn into a pile of black ash, thinking to himself: "I don’t know what the Spirit Realm tide is, but since the Third Prince values it so much, there must be a great secret.
Only by gaining the acknowledgment of the shelter’s central controlling spiritual body can one enter the Spirit Realm tide.
The ticket to enter the Spirit Realm tide is to be at least the city lord of a shelter, and those people are probably dominant forces in their area."
Baiyu saw this clearly.
Even though the Third Prince valued him, he clearly saw Baiyu as just a worker, albeit a very special one.
He might even have the true intention of figuring out how Baiyu could gain the acknowledgment of the shelter spirit.
The various information about the Spirit Realm tide needed to be understood first, although the Third Prince had told him before, his words weren’t reliable.
If truly dangerous, he would find a way to shirk it.
With a mindset to test, Baiyu typed "Spirit Realm tide" into his computer.
Pages of titles popped up on the screen.
After filtering out some useless ones, Baiyu quickly clicked into a forum. A user named "Strongest Young Master" had posted about how he entered and exited the Spirit Realm tide.
"Is this person a city lord of a shelter?"
Baiyu read carefully downwards.
This person’s identity was not exposed in the post, but judging by the content, the person had indeed entered such a mysterious place in the Spirit Realm.
The replies below were mostly generic praises like "Awesome," "Take me along, master."
All mere junk information.
"According to this person’s description, the essence of the Spirit Realm tide is just a unique place in the Spirit Realm with its special rules, generally also housing very precious treasures.
Those who pilot legendary ships often explore various Spirit Realm tides.
Some tides exist for centuries, while others disappear in a flash.
As for the danger level.
It’s hard to determine..."
Baiyu pondered for a moment and set these thoughts aside.
He would only deliberate this at the ceremony.
He was already a Tier Eight Martial Artist, but he had only undergone Bone Tempering once. Normally, he had to reach ninety percent Bone Tempering to touch the threshold of Tier Seven.
His Blood Qi was still too low.
"After completing the first volume of the Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique, strange phenomena appeared around me."
"This proves that my current spirit strength is too inadequate for cultivating this Bone Tempering Spirit Technique, improving Mysticism knowledge is necessary."
Cultivation and knowledge must progress step by step.
To avoid the risk of aberration.
Just like a normal person’s two legs, they must move forward together to start running.
Baiyu had previously been focusing on enhancing Blood Qi.
His Mysticism knowledge, however, was lacking significantly. If not for the solid foundation laid in high school, he might already be in trouble.
"Since I need to enhance Mysticism, I’ll start with Yi Xian’s research notes."
Releasing the hamster.
Baiyu quietly sat at the desk, studying the materials and notes Yi Xian gave him.
Mysticism is the guiding principle for all extraordinary theories.
Enhancing other extraordinary theories would also boost Mysticism.
All extraordinary, ultimately returns to Mysticism.
This was the first sentence on the first page of the high school Mysticism textbook.
Currently, Baiyu’s Mysticism was only LV2.
And his knowledge points were pitifully few.
However, now that he was in the school, enhancing these wasn’t difficult, plus he still had 1600 GPA points in hand; even high-end books in the library could be borrowed!
