Chapter 565 - 555: Those Rumors... Could They Be True?
The two sat on the stone bench, chatting idly.
Shen Han briefly recounted to Dean Tianyi his experiences in the Divine Land.
He spoke very roughly, omitting most of the details.
If Dean Tianyi knew how Shen Han described these to Shi Yuezhu, he’d probably be infuriated.
This reputation of being infatuated with women over his teacher would surely stick to Shen Han.
But just hearing this much was enough to surprise Dean Tianyi.
Shen Han also took out several basic cultivation techniques for divine soul nurturing.
These basic cultivation techniques are freely available for purchase in the Divine Land Outer Domain.
There, they are not considered precious.
But here, they would be extremely valuable.
The process from zero to one is incredibly difficult.
"Is this the cultivation method for the divine soul?"
Dean Tianyi, holding these volumes, seemed to be holding some peerless treasures.
Seeing the Dean like this, Shen Han felt a bit embarrassed.
"Dean, these are all very common divine soul cultivation methods..."
Upon hearing this, Dean Tianyi shook his head.
"Regardless of whether these cultivation methods are common or rare.
The entire Great Wei now has them solely at Tianyi Academy.
Having these is precisely the advantage we hold over other academies!"
For an academy to establish itself, it must excel in some aspect.
If, like Tianyi Academy, it’s weak in every aspect, relying only on lowering standards for student intake,
it’s very difficult for an academy to elevate its overall strength.
But with the divine soul techniques, it’s like giving Tianyi Academy a foothold.
"When you fought with Sikong Miaomiao, were those little black shadows you summoned the divine soul?"
Shen Han nodded and, with a wave of his hand, a small black shadow fell from his body.
The next moment, the small black shadow transformed into armor.
It directly attached to Shen Han’s wrist.
Seeing this, Dean Tianyi was momentarily stunned.
This divine soul technique, not only can attack and defend, but it can also transform into armor.
"To those who don’t understand, it’s easy to mistake these little black shadows as an abnormal phenomenon of the scholar’s technique.
Dean, you can also use this confusion to make it hard for others to differentiate."
Dean Tianyi nodded.
He naturally understood the implications.
By confusing the divine soul with the phenomena evoked by scholar techniques, using the divine soul in combat, this information gap can catch many off guard.
At the same time, it can conceal the fact that Shen Han has been to another continent.
Looking at the time, it was about 10:00 PM.
The hour was late, but Dean Tianyi was not the least bit sleepy.
Counting the divine soul as a grand gift, Shen Han had given him three such gifts since his return.
"I’m thinking, if I hadn’t captured you back then and let you end up at another academy,
I can’t imagine how much I would regret it now."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han couldn’t help but chuckle and said:
"Dean, I came to Tianyi Academy as soon as I entered the capital,
assigned by Prince Qingyuan, how could I have ended up at another academy..."
Even if there was regret, it wouldn’t be to such an extent...
Seeing Shen Han speak so frankly, Dean Tianyi nonetheless shook his head.
"You’ve probably forgotten, when you first came to the academy, the person assigned to teach you was that scoundrel Dugu Tian.
Do you think I didn’t know what kind of temperament he had?
Tianyi Academy had shallow roots, and we hoped he would help correct some inaccuracies in the texts.
But looking back now, he nearly ruined the fortunes of our Tianyi Academy!"
Mentioning Dugu Tian made Dean Tianyi somewhat angry.
If it were because of Dugu Tian that Shen Han chose to continue his studies elsewhere,
Dean Tianyi didn’t know how he’d handle it.
Upon hearing the name Dugu Tian, Shen Han recalled those early days.
He and his three classmates, including Chai Haifu, were unfortunately studying under Dugu Tian.
At the time, Dugu Tian refused to take them out for training, finding various ways to trouble Shen Han and the others.
Eventually, it was Mr. Zhong Nan who couldn’t bear it anymore and took them out for training together.
"What is Dugu Tian doing nowadays?"
Shen Han asked out of curiosity, and upon hearing it, Dean Tianyi chuckled lightly.
"What else could he do?
He’s just a tutor in a small city, making a living.
You should also remember, he’s injured and spends quite a lot on pills every month.
Originally, being your tutor was an opportunity for him to reach great heights.
But he was too arrogant to seize this fortune."
Shen Han didn’t further comment.
Being a tutor in a small city, he probably couldn’t even afford his pills.
As the night wore on, Shen Han and Dean Tianyi didn’t linger any longer.
The two walked towards their residence.
"Shen Han, recently there have been quite a few rumors about you and the Moon Bamboo Peak Master.
During the two years you were missing, she helped and protected you at every turn.
Honestly, I can’t claim to have done as much as she has.
With her support and protection, you should also be mindful and try to mitigate the impact of these rumors."
Shen Han assumed that when the rumors reached here, Dean Tianyi would surely tease him about his relationship with Shi Yuezhu.
Unexpectedly, the Dean did not believe it at all.
"People nowadays can spread any gossip.
It just shows they’re too idle, spending their days talking nonsense and drivel.
It’s one thing to talk about the younger generation, but now not even the Moon Bamboo Peak Master is safe from these gossips’ slanders."
