Chapter 156: The Chill of Yi Water

"Don't rush, take your time and tell me!"

Jun Wushuang's calm voice made Lin Mengyao's heart settle slightly.

"It's the enrollment examination. There's been a murder."

"During the actual combat assessment, a taciturn youth killed someone."

"The person has already been detained, but this servant doesn't know how to handle it. Young Master, please go and take a look!"

Lin Mengyao spoke quickly, explaining the course of events.

Killed someone during the examination?

Jun Wushuang frowned slightly.

This enrollment examination was extremely important to the Azure Cloud Martial Academy.

No accidents could be allowed to happen.

"Let's go, let's go take a look!"

Jun Wushuang took the lead, heading towards the examination grounds together with Lin Mengyao.

The enrollment examination had already been suspended.

Aman was staring intently at a youth with a dull expression, and beside him lay a corpse in a pool of blood.

This dull-looking youth was none other than the person who had continued walking toward the Azure Cloud Martial Academy earlier, despite Nangong Fei's open threats.

The youth looked apathetic, neither speaking nor refuting, just standing quietly on the spot.

If not for the corpse beside him, no one would ever have associated him with the words "murderer."

"Young Master, this person's name is Yi Shuihan. He is at the third tier of the Body Forging Realm, but his background is unknown. He was pulled out of a river by someone, and it is said he has lost his memories."

Lin Mengyao spoke quickly, introducing the youth's background.

Yi Shuihan!

Unknown background!

An amnesiac youth!

Jun Wushuang's gaze fell upon the corpse.

It was a young man at the ninth tier of the Body Forging Realm, whose strength should not be considered too weak.

There was only a single wound on his entire body: a cut across his throat.

The cut was narrow, as smooth as a mirror.

Killed with a single blow!

This Yi Shuihan was no ordinary person!

"Master!"

Seeing Jun Wushuang approach, Aman respectfully stepped aside.

As for Yi Shuihan, his expression remained dull, as if he hadn't seen Jun Wushuang at all.

"Purple-Eyed Demonic Gaze!"

Fixating on Yi Shuihan, Jun Wushuang directly activated his Purple-Eyed Demonic Gaze, attempting to pierce through the mystery.

"Sealed Saint Physique!"

With just a single glance, Jun Wushuang perceived Yi Shuihan's extraordinary nature.

This apathetic youth turned out to be a prodigy with a Saint Physique.

Moreover, it wasn't just awakened; it was already fully matured.

With a fully matured Saint Physique, how could he possibly possess only the strength of the Body Forging Realm?

Jun Wushuang continued to probe with his Purple-Eyed Demonic Gaze, growing increasingly startled the more he looked.

"He has suffered severe injuries in the past, damaging not only his physical body but also his soul, which is why his expression is so vacant."

Yi Shuihan's injuries were extremely grave.

They were the heaviest injuries Jun Wushuang had ever witnessed thus far.

This Yi Shuihan must have experienced battles beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

That he was able to survive could already be considered a miracle among misfortunes.

As for healing his injuries and restoring his sanity, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

"Oh!"

Jun Wushuang let out a soft exclamation as his gaze shifted, landing on Yi Shuihan's dantian.

The Purple-Eyed Demonic Gaze could pierce through all things and reach their very essence.

At this moment, Jun Wushuang saw that sealed within Yi Shuihan's dantian was a fierce ghost.

That's right, a fierce ghost!

This was no illusory projection, nor was it some kind of treasure, but a genuine fierce ghost from the netherworld.

Once a fierce ghost emerged, the world would plunge into chaos!

However, Yi Shuihan possessed the Sealed Saint Physique, and its sealing power was incomparably formidable. This fierce ghost was firmly sealed inside, unable to move or escape.

Continuing his investigation, Jun Wushuang discovered that the fierce ghosts sealed within Yi Shuihan's body were not limited to just one.

Aside from the fierce ghost sealed in his dantian,

different fierce ghosts were also sealed in his sea of consciousness, his heart, his internal organs, and other vital areas.

A total of nine places, sealing nine fierce ghosts.

"This is the Nine-Ghost Chaos Divine Chart!"

Jun Wushuang's gaze narrowed as he recognized the special cultivation technique practiced by Yi Shuihan.

This was no mortal technique, but a divine-grade cultivation method.

A Saint Physique prodigy who cultivated a divine-grade technique!

Jun Wushuang knew that behind this Yi Shuihan likely lay an immensely complicated background.

Now, with Yi Shuihan suffering from amnesia and heavy injuries, he posed no threat.

If he were to recover his memories and heal his injuries, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Young Master, do you think we should admit him into the academy?"

Lin Mengyao sent a telepathic message, asking for Jun Wushuang's opinion.

Yi Shuihan clearly had issues.

Such a person was like an untimed bomb that could detonate at any moment and harm the innocent.

"Admit him, why wouldn't we admit him!"

Jun Wushuang smiled faintly.

Yi Shuihan was indeed an untimed bomb, but Jun Wushuang had the confidence to suppress him.

Besides, this might not necessarily be a bad thing.

In Jun Wushuang's eyes, Yi Shuihan was a double-edged sword.

Although there was a chance he might harm himself, as long as he was used well, he would become a lethal weapon in his own hands.

If the Azure Cloud Martial Academy wanted to rise again, relying solely on their current group of people was not enough.

Geniuses, naturally, the more the better.

Even if Mo Xingyun were here, he would likely admit him into the academy.

"Mengyao, you will personally take charge of this person. No special care is needed; just let him live a normal life."

Currently, within the Azure Cloud Martial Academy, aside from Jun Wushuang, Lin Mengyao possessed the highest combat strength.

Having her watch over Yi Shuihan should not pose any major problems.

As for Yi Shuihan's injuries, Jun Wushuang actually had the ability to heal them, but he preferred to observe first.

The Dao should not be imparted lightly!

People should not be saved recklessly!

Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan's original strength was too formidable. With Jun Wushuang's current capabilities, he could not plant a demonic seed within his sea of consciousness.

Otherwise, once the demonic seed emerged, gods and demons alike would kneel in submission.

However, Jun Wushuang was not in a hurry.

As his own strength increased, he would eventually have the opportunity to plant a demonic seed in Yi Shuihan.

With Yi Shuihan's matter settled, this enrollment examination came to a complete close.

"Young Master, this time we have recruited a total of thirty disciples!"

Lin Mengyao reported the results to Jun Wushuang.

With Mo Xingyun currently absent, Jun Wushuang was the undisputed pillar of the Azure Cloud Martial Academy.

"Alright, thank you all for your hard work moving forward!"

Recruitment was only the first step.

How to settle them and how to guide their cultivation were both matters of great importance.

Jun Wushuang needed to prepare for the life-and-death duel a month later, so these trivial matters naturally fell to Lin Mengyao and Liu Yiyi to manage.

After handling these affairs, Jun Wushuang returned to the Wushuang Hall.

This time, having executed a divine-grade forbidden technique, he was extremely weak. Even with the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art, he still needed to recuperate properly.

"Xu Wuyya is a powerhouse at the sixth tier of the Heavenly King Realm. For the sake of our life-and-death duel, he will definitely make extensive preparations. Breaking through to a higher realm is not entirely impossible."

"If I want to slay him in the life-and-death duel, even if I transform into an Asura, the difficulty will be immense."

"The only solution is to break through to the Marquis Realm within this month!"

Regarding the life-and-death duel a month later, Jun Wushuang was well aware of the stakes.

However, breaking through to the Marquis Realm was no easy feat.

Previously, when Jun Wushuang broke through to the Celestial Realm, he had drained an entire medium-grade spiritual vein to achieve it.

Now that the medium-grade spiritual vein was dried up and there were no other fortuitous encounters, breaking through to the Marquis Realm would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Yet, this was the only way.

Seven days later.

The sequelae of the forbidden technique had completely vanished.

At the same time, Jiang Hongru sent back good news: his father's appointment as the Governor of Qingzhou had been finalized.

Master Wu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, also arrived at the Azure Cloud Martial Academy once again.

"Master, Pill King Yao requests an audience!"
