“Su Yan came out from the Training Pagoda!”

The news spread across the whole Huaxia College and all of the students who heard that were astonished.

Su Yan was the student who ranked first in the Dragon-hidden List. It caused a great sensation that he had stayed in the Training Pagoda for more than one year, and even got out of there alive.

“Is Su Yan the gifted loser who can’t open the Destiny Spring?”

“Yes, that’s him! God is jealous of Su Yan. What a tremendous genius! It’s such a pity that he has striking savvy but can't even open the Destiny Spring.”

“What an incredible thing! Su Yan is the martial lord’s student, yet he can’t even open the Destiny Spring. I don’t think he is worthy of the No.1 student of the Dragon-hidden List.”

The students were discussing heatedly. Some teachers who knew it also sighed with pity. With Su Yan’s savvy, if he entered the Destiny Spring Realm, he would make a great success in the future.

In fact, they didn’t know whether Su Yan had opened it or not after a year.

Su Yan returned to his residence. All this time, he had stayed in the Training Pagoda and kept the No.1 place on the list, the treasure cave and his residence were forgotten by everyone. A lot of students felt envious yet helpless about it.

When he came in, Su Yan felt gusts of immense fluctuation instantaneously.

“Hi man!”

Su Yan was flipped. He saw the Fatty sitting in the Treasure Cave releasing an astonishing aura because at that moment, surprisingly, the second awakening came to the Fatty’s internal bloodline which made marvelous dragon-like potential pervade in his body.

“How powerful the bloodline is!”

Su Yan was surprised. During the second mutation, the rules of heaven and earth entered the Fatty’s body, which gave his bloodline a second awakening.

The Fatty speculated that his bloodline had the potential to be a giant.

The Fatty still was in deep closed-door cultivation state. So Su Yan closed the door of living room and took out the communicator, contacting Yi Yuan.

“Uh? Why doesn’t he answer?”

Su Yan frowned and called his teacher again and again but failed to get any answer.

At this point, his communicator rang. It was Elder Liang. After Su Yan answered, Elder Liang asked tensely, “Su Yan, did you pass the twelfth floor?”

Su Yan hesitated, then answered, “Yes, I did, but the process is confidential according to Training Pagoda’s rules.”

“You did it! Have you opened your Destiny Spring?” Elder Liang was so excited.

“Yes! I was trying to contact my mentor and tell him this good news!”

“Just stay there and wait for me, I’m coming. There is something you need to know!” Elder Liang gasped in shock and said after a long silence.

Su Yan hung up his communicator, and Elder Liang came quickly. Elder Liang walked in and laughed, “Congratulations! You made it! I am so worried about you these days.”

“Thank you, Elder Liang. By the way, what happened these days?” Su Yan asked.

“Sit down. I will tell you.”

Elder Liang stopped for a moment and said, “As the mutation of the earth ended, we Huaxia Alliance’s overall power has promoted, especially the Awoken. According to the initial estimation, there are over two million Awokens a few days ago!”

“Gosh! Over Two million!”

Su Yan’s eyes widened out of surprise. The mutation of the earth benefited the whole mankind!

“The environment of cultivation has changed, the current world is more suitable for cultivating. Now, you can’t get in touch with your mentor, because the dean and the martial lord...”

Elder Liang said all things in one shot, “…as well as three deputy deans all went to Base No.9 for some period of secluded cultivation.”

Also, the war at the wilderness region in Base No.9 broke out again, but not as fierce as the previous one!

“Even the teachers are injured. Unexpectedly, nine Dragon Veins showed up in Base No.9!”

Su Yan’s face turned pale and he hurriedly asked, “Elder Liang, did Zu Yan show up?”

Hearing that, Elder Liang shook his head because he didn’t understand it either. If Zu Yan had come out to help, Huaxia Alliance wouldn’t have suffered such a great loss. After all, Zu Yan was capable of killing the Demon Lord!

As for Xia Ze and the others, they had made little progress over the past decades, so their combat power was barely equal with the Demon Lord. As a result, Huaxia Alliance was at a disadvantage for a while.

“Thanks to the mutation of the earth, otherwise we will suffer greater loss. Many disciples of Huaxia College in Destiny Spring Realm went to Base No.9 and a lot of them died. I don’t know what happened. This time the beasts attacked frantically at the place where the Dragon Vein located in Base No.9!”

Su Yan was stressed by what Elder Liang said, then he said, “I want to go to Base No.9. And Elder Liang, I need a weapon!”

Elder Liang sighed slightly as he was a little embarrassed.

Su Yan frowned, “Elder Liang, I have passed the twelfth floor, so the reward should include more than a million contributing points, a hundred pieces of essence stones, even some immemorial treasures...”

“Su Yan, that's what I want to say.”

Elder Liang felt a bit perplexed, “Before the Dean and the Martial Lord left, I was told that the reward should definitely be more if you succeeded.”

“But have you noticed that Jing Yanghui and his companies did not go?”

What Elder Liang said made Su Yan gloomy. He recalled the conversation with Jiang Wuhen. They were trying their best to seize resources, but when Huaxia Alliance encountered this disaster, they were not even helping, which went too far.

“The Prime Faction wishes the older generation suffer great losses. Just now, the Steward of the treasury told me that your reward will be delayed till the Dean come back. He even wants to ask the leadership to deprive you of your rewards and your ranking on the Dragon-hidden List! The reason is that you have not opened the Destiny Spring yet.”

Elder Liang fumed, “They are reluctant to give the rewards. That Steward has the same status as me, while Jiang Wuhen has already bought him over!”

“Son of a bitch!”

Su Yan’s eyes glowed coldly. Did they think that Su Yan was still a quiet bunny who’d allow himself to be trampled upon or manipulated?

“Ding! Ding! Ding!”

Su Yan’s communicator rang. Elder Liang sneered, “I bet that is Jiang Wuhen. He must want to rope you in. Although he doesn’t know you have opened the Destiny Spring, he is very interested in your achievement in the Training Pagoda!”

It was a strange number. After the call was connected...

“Su Yan!”

A commanding voice exploded, “Come to my residence right now. My mentor is likely to come to Huaxia College in a few days. Maybe he will be moved by your achievement in the Training Pagoda and help you open your Destiny Spring to add one more talent for our Huaxia Alliance!”

Su Yan’s face turned cold. For others, merely hearing Zu Yan’s name would be a good reason to crawl out and fawn on Jiang Wuhen immediately!

“Anything else?” Su Yan asked.

“Also, the Golden-crow Tripod is an unusual treasure. You gained a lot of Contributing Points this time. Give me some. You know my mentor will not help you for free. I will make up the rest so you can buy the Golden-crow Tripod and give it to my mentor as a gift at the first meeting!”

“Well, I’ve prepared something better for Zu Yan. But I’m sorry. I can’t give you the Contributing Points. I need it!”

Su Yan hung up the communicator. At the other side, Jiang Wuhen pulled a long face slowly. He didn’t expect such an answer. How dare Su Yan called Zu Yan by his name!

“Er, what’s your gift for Zu Yan?” Elder Liang was puzzled.

“You will see it. Elder Liang, I have to go to the treasury now to see what kind of person the Steward is!”

Hearing Su Yan’s remark, Elder Liang frowned, “Su Yan, do not confront them head-on now. We’d better wait for the Dean’s call!”

“Elder Liang, time doesn’t wait. I don’t know what will happen next. Yet mentors are at the wilderness region of Base No.9. As a part of Huaxia Alliance, I can’t stand by like a coward!”

What Su Yan said inspired Elder Liang. He stood up suddenly, “Okay, I will go with you. I’d like to see what they want! Do they want to rebel against the Dean? How dare they disobey the Dean’s arrangement!”

Elder Liang suppressed his anger. Not just Su Yan, the rest of the students also complained about the lack of resources.

Recently, Elder Liang suspected that the Steward of Treasury had secretly embezzled a lot of resources to feather his own nest. Did they think Xia Ze and his accompanies couldn’t come back alive?

The Treasury of Huaxia College was the most important place that built at the foot of the mountain where the dean’s palace located.

This place was strictly guarded as the treasury was used for storing huge amount of resources in Huaxia College. Without permission, no one was allowed to enter casually.

But Elder Liang had the qualification to enter freely. He took Su Yan to a splendid palace unearthed from an ancient relic. It was extremely impregnable that even the Beast Kings could hardly destroy it.

The door of the palace was open. Su Yan saw an old man sitting in the hall. Though over 50 years old, he was full of vigor and wore a purple robe that looked very noble.

“Elder Liang, what are you doing here?”

Tao Jiangrong said with grouch. He was the steward of the college treasury. Since the Dean left, Tao Jiangrong was almost in control and was extremely arrogant. After all, he was in charge of all resources and the treasury.

“Tao Jiangrong, Su Yan is here. According to the Dean’s order, I will take away what the Dean left to Su Yan.” Elder Liang suppressed his anger and said directly.

“Su Yan is here!”

Tao Jiangrong’s expression turned grave. He was Tao Tianhua’s grandfather, so he had already heard that Su Yan was against his grandson.

Tao Jiangrong sneered gloomily. He didn’t even look at Su Yan and shouted, “Who allows him to come here? The treasury is a restricted place that no one should come without permission!”

“Tao Jiangrong, Su Yan is a core disciple of our college and even the Martial Lord’s student. Why can’t he come?” Elder Liang was infuriated.

“Elder Liang, you dotard! The treasury is an important place! How can outsiders get in so casually? Take him now! How dare you intrude this place!”

Tao Jiangrong's voice became sharp. His cultivation was also extremely powerful, and he emitted a fierce momentum. Pointing at Su Yan, he yelled, “Take him down!"

“Su Yan, how dare you break into the treasury?” Jing Yanghui laughed arrogantly. He, Teng Yingjie, and Jing Yangyu came to Su Yan directly and stared at Su Yan with mocking eyes.

That was about hundreds of thousands of Contributing Points! Su Yan wanted to take it away, how was it possible?
