Chapter 32

The Academy is a sacred place where vehicles are not allowed to enter, so they had to park outside the main gate.

Lucia jumped out of the car and said to Lu Feng, "Let's go!"

Lu Feng followed her, unable to resist asking, "Sister Lucia, I heard that the admissions at Starlight Academy are very strict. If we want to take a backdoor, it might be quite difficult, right?"

Lucia smiled and said, "Others indeed don't have the authority to make special admissions, but the person we are looking for is not just anyone; he is the Dean of Starlight Academy!"

Lu Feng was taken aback, "What?"

As the Dean of a famous and prestigious academy, it's not just about being respected; one must also be a super-strong individual.

Lu Feng had never met a super-strong individual in real life. The old lunatics in the spiritual world might be such people, but they couldn't exert their power in the "Divine Prohibition of the Void." Moreover, since he had always thought of them as a bunch of mad spirits, he had never paid much attention to them, so he didn't feel much pressure.

However, now, thinking about meeting the Dean of Starlight Academy, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. "Sister Lucia, this isn't good. The Dean is so busy; will he meet us? Besides, his standards must be very high. With my weak power, I'm afraid he won't be impressed."

Lucia smiled and said, "He will meet us. My father had some connections with the Dean in the past, and I also know him. I've already made an appointment with him a few days ago, and he might be waiting for us now."

Since they had made an appointment with such an important person, they couldn't miss it. This meeting was inevitable. Lu Feng steeled himself, "Sister Lucia, what should I do when I meet the Dean?"

Lucia shrugged, "It's simple. Just try to show your strongest power and combat skills. I'll handle the rest. Don't be too nervous, or it might affect your performance!"

"Okay!" Lu Feng tried to calm himself down, but the thought of meeting a super-strong individual and the Dean of the academy still made him a bit uneasy.

Finally, they arrived not at an office or a reception room but at a small training ground in the academy. It seemed that the Dean of Starlight Academy was a straightforward person, skipping the usual formalities.

As they entered the training ground, they saw a person standing in the center, facing away from them. This must be the Dean of Starlight Academy.

However, unlike the grand and imposing figures of super-strong individuals that Lu Feng had imagined, this person was short, probably only about 1.6 meters tall, a head shorter than Lu Feng, and a bit thin and hunched, making him look even less imposing.

Hearing their footsteps, the short figure turned around, and Lu Feng saw his face.

Again, this person was very different from the super-strong individuals Lu Feng had imagined. An old man with a balding head, small eyes, and a big nose, his features were rather unremarkable. He even had a pair of mustaches, making him look quite comical.

Can this be the Dean?

Lu Feng almost burst out laughing but managed to hold back, otherwise, it would have been very impolite. However, this made him feel much more relaxed and less nervous.

Lucia's words confirmed his guess, "Dean Brooks, it's been a long time. How are you?"

The old man grunted, "Not good. Ever since you rejected our invitation to join Starlight Academy when you were promoted, I've been in a bad mood. After all, I had guided you so many times when you were young, and you don't know how to be grateful!"

Lu Feng was taken aback. The Dean's first words completely颠覆ed he had in mind about super-strong individuals.

Lucia's promotion was probably eight to ten years ago, and people have the right to choose freely. He didn't expect the Dean to hold a grudge for so long.

Aren't such important figures supposed to be broad-minded and magnanimous?

Ah, right, the old lunatics I met were also like that. The Supreme Extreme Heat, for example, always talked about "me, me," and the others didn't seem to have much grace either. They often threatened to do unspeakable things to force me to learn their profound skills, which really messed with my worldview.

Lucia seemed to understand his character and chuckled, "Oh, Dean Brooks, it's been so long, don't take it to heart. Besides, I'm making up for my past mistake by bringing you a prodigy."

"A prodigy?" The old man's attention finally turned to Lu Feng, "You mean this guy?"

Lucia introduced, "That's right, this is Lu Feng."

Although the old man didn't look like a big shot, Lu Feng still respectfully said, "Hello, Dean Brooks."

The old man didn't respond, just glanced at Lu Feng. His gaze suddenly became sharp like a knife, as if it could pierce through one's soul, making Lu Feng feel a chill. But this feeling quickly disappeared.

"Second stage of Gang Qi, Lucia, you actually recommend a guy who is only at the second stage of Gang Qi to me!" The old man flew into a rage, cursing, "Are you making fun of me? If he is a prodigy, then everyone in Starlight Academy is a prodigy!"

Just one glance, and he saw through my combat level!

Lu Feng was amazed and a bit embarrassed because he knew that Starlight Academy had very high admission standards.

Lucia remained unperturbed, "That's right, Lu Feng is only at the second stage of Gang Qi, but, Dean Brooks, there's something you might not know. Three months ago, his combat level was only at the ninth stage of Yuan Qi!"

This time, the old man was a bit surprised, "What? Two stages in three months, and one of them was a leap in level?"

Lucia corrected, "To be precise, it was two stages in a little over two months. Lu Feng reached the second stage of Gang Qi just a little over a month ago."

Brooks' eyes were filled with doubt, "There's no such fast progression. Even you and Joanna couldn't do that back then. I'm not well-read, but don't lie to me!"

The old man tried to be humorous, but if he was not well-read, then probably no one in the world was.

Lucia said calmly, "It's easy to verify, Dean Brooks. With your abilities, you can check Lu Feng's test records at the Federation's Examination Department to confirm what I said."

Brooks looked at her for a moment, "Alright, I don't think you would dare to lie to me. I'll believe you for now."

Lucia continued, "Moreover, the power, burst, and endurance of Lu Feng's Gang Qi are quite remarkable. Although his starting point is a bit lower than others, he has unlimited potential and will eventually make a big impact. So, I recommend him to you, Dean Brooks. If you don't make a special admission for him, it will be a loss for Starlight Academy!"

Brooks didn't speak, clearly impressed by Lu Feng's rapid progression, but he still said, "Attack me, show me what you can do!"

Attack the Dean?

Lu Feng looked at Lucia, and with her nod of approval, he no longer hesitated. He activated his Gang Qi, reaching the second stage, and launched a series of attacks, including Gang Dan and Da Shou Yin, while moving quickly to change his position. This was a combat technique he had learned from Lucia, making his attacks more flexible and less rigid.

"Bang!"

"Bang"

"Bang!"

"..."

Brooks didn't even move, and Lu Feng's attacks exploded a few meters away from him, seemingly blocked by some invisible force. Lu Feng was shocked and deeply impressed.

Indeed, one cannot judge a person by their appearance. This old man is a very powerful individual!

After a round of intense attacks, Lu Feng, having exhausted his Gang Qi, retreated.

After a while, the old man finally spoke, "Not bad. At this level of Gang Qi, you can exert such powerful combat skills, even mastering the difficult Da Shou Yin. Your burst and endurance are comparable to those at the fifth or sixth stage of Gang Qi!"

Lucia smiled. Brooks was very strict and rarely praised anyone. Now that he had such high praise for Lu Feng, admission should not be a problem.

The old man narrowed his eyes, "Lucia, did you use a powerful spirit medicine to cleanse his bones?"

For many, this is a secret of martial artists, but Brooks was respected, and they needed his special admission, so Lucia nodded, "Yes."

"Hmm, even with the help of a powerful spirit medicine, such rapid progression is still impressive," Brooks muttered to himself, deep in thought.

Lucia used such precious medicine to cleanse his bones and recommended him to Starlight Academy, which had a deeper purpose.

Although that event happened a long time ago, this stubborn child never gave up. Lu Feng is her hope.

Since that's the case, I'll help her. Of course, it's also for the benefit of Starlight Academy, as this boy is indeed worth a special admission. With his remarkable potential, he might become a super star of the academy!

Under the expectant gazes of the two, the old man said, "On the first day of the semester, have him report to Starlight Academy on time, or he will be left behind!"
