Chapter 828: The Purple Sun Beast Discovered

"President, after Teacher Zhang left Dean Jiang's residence, he went to the mansion gifted by Prince Huai. During that time, he visited Teacher Luo once and hasn't come out since!"

In a spacious courtyard at the core of the Formation Academy, a female student reported to a graceful figure before her.

"Hasn't come out?"

Dong Xin turned around.

After the incident at the Physician Academy, she had sent people to investigate this Zhang Xuan, hoping to find his weaknesses. Unfortunately, he was too busy to be seen, and even she was still completely in the dark.

The female student nodded.

"You may go."

Waving her hand, Dong Xin clasped her hands behind her back, her lithe figure tracing a graceful curve. Under the spring breeze in the courtyard, she exuded a unique charm.

No wonder she was one of the top-ranked beauties on the Master Academy's beauty list; every move she made revealed a distinctive allure.

If Hu Yaoyao was a thorny rose, she was an elegant lily, carrying a unique temptation beneath her cold exterior.

"One cannot catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger's lair. To find out this guy's weaknesses, I'm afraid I'll have to go myself."

She raised an eyebrow.

She was meticulous in her work and disliked relying on documents or hearsay. Regarding the previous matter, although Hu Yaoyao and others had given detailed accounts, she still didn't believe them. She spent many days, braving danger, to investigate on-site.

Now, to find out where Zhang Xuan's weaknesses lay, relying solely on subordinates' reports was certainly not enough. To get a clear picture, she needed to take action herself.

"Let's go take a look."

Changing into ordinary clothes, she turned her delicate body and flew straight out of the academy.

She had already found out the exact location of the mansion Prince Huai had gifted to Zhang Xuan. It didn't take long for her to arrive.

"Unexpectedly, there are quite a few formations arranged here... but they can't stop me."

With a soft smile, she flickered and entered the courtyard.

She was one of the top students in the fifth year of the Master Academy, a Mortal Transformation Ninth Layer Silkworm Seal Realm expert, and a direct disciple of Chen Chengxun, the dean of the Formation Academy.

Her understanding of formations had reached an extremely high level. The formations in this mansion might stop some four-star or five-star formation masters, but they couldn't stop her.

Her delicate figure darted through the mansion, and before long, she arrived at a spacious courtyard.

A formation was in operation, shrouding the entire courtyard in mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

"This is... a four-star peak Sealing Breath Formation?"

She recognized it at a glance.

"The purpose of this formation is to conceal aura and hide secrets... Could this be his weakness?"

Dong Xin's eyes lit up.

The Sealing Breath Formation had no major use other than concealing aura. If he had gone to the trouble of setting up such a formation in the courtyard, she wouldn't believe it wasn't to hide something!

"I need to find a way to get in and take a look..."

She clenched her fists.

The other party's secret was right before her eyes. Not going in would be a wasted opportunity. Dong Xin gritted her silver teeth, her dark eyes flickering with light.

"A four-star Sealing Breath Formation isn't hard to solve, but if I'm not careful, I might trigger the formation flags and cause changes..."

As a six-star formation master, solving a Sealing Breath Formation wasn't difficult, but getting in without being noticed wasn't easy either.

She needed to carefully calculate and study it.

With a flicker, she hid in a thick tree branch in a corner of the courtyard. A compass appeared in her palm, and she focused on the formation below, meticulously calculating based on the surrounding aura.

"Li three, Xun five..."

Her concentration was intense as she continuously calculated in her mind. The more she calculated, the more admiration she felt.

"The person who set up this Sealing Breath Formation is highly skilled. The formation perfectly integrates with the entire mansion, interlocking and connected in aura. Even I couldn't achieve this..."

Although the formation before her was only four-star peak, it perfectly harmonized with its surroundings, unleashing the power of a five-star formation.

To be able to arrange an ordinary four-star formation to such a level showed that the arranger's skill was at least as strong as hers, if not stronger.

"But a four-star formation is still a four-star formation. No matter how well it's arranged, if I find the life gate, I can still slip in unnoticed..."

She smiled softly, her flawless face exuding strong confidence.

Her talent in formations far exceeded ordinary people; otherwise, she wouldn't have been accepted as a direct disciple by the dean of the Formation Academy.

This formation had unleashed the full power of a four-star formation, but... limited by its level, she could still easily break it!

Taking a deep breath, just as she was about to find the life gate and enter, she suddenly felt the ground shake, and a violent energy wave emanated from the center of the formation.

It seemed as if some super-strong expert was trying to break free from the formation's constraints and escape.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hastily concealing herself, she heard the fluctuations from within again. Then, a tremendous force rippled outward, and the Sealing Breath Formation, struck by the force, emitted crackling sounds and shattered.

"Forcing a five-star effect formation to collapse with sheer power... the one breaking out from inside must have reached the Saint Domain!"

Her pupils contracted.

Although this Sealing Breath Formation was only four-star peak, the arranger's technique was very clever, combining with the surrounding terrain and formations to give it five-star power.

For such power to be shattered in one blow showed that the strength of the trapped individual must have reached a terrifying level.

Boom!

Shocked, he saw a tall figure dart straight out from the shattered formation.

"Is that... Senior Ziyang Beast?"

His entire body stiffened.

As a senior student who had been at the academy for no less than five years, he had seen the old dean's beast companion a few times... but hadn't it gone missing, captured by the Heteroclites?

Why was it here?

Could it be...

His whole body went rigid, and an infinite terror arose from the depths of his heart.

"Trying to escape? Ruthless one, bring it down for me!"

Just as he was panicking, he heard a faint voice, and then a soaring aura of slaughter filled the entire courtyard.

Thud!

Senior Ziyang Beast, who had just taken flight, didn't even have time to cry out before it fell to the ground, twitching incessantly.

"It's... the Heteroclites!"

Terrified, Dong Xin held his breath, not daring to move, his whole body stiff as stone.

"You few, get up there and beat it to death!"

Then he heard Zhang Xuan's voice again, and immediately about twenty Heteroclites at the Saint Domain level rushed madly toward Senior Ziyang Beast.

Crackle!

With a flurry of punches and kicks, the once lively Senior Ziyang Beast was beaten unconscious in the blink of an eye, twitching nonstop, seemingly on the verge of death.

Clamping her mouth shut, Dong Xin's pores all closed tight as she hid among the leaves, not daring to make a sound.

Over twenty Saint Domain powerhouses—even Senior Ziyang Beast was no match for them. If she were discovered, it was foreseeable that she would be killed on the spot!

"Out cold again..."

Through the gaps in the leaves, she clearly saw Zhang Xuan walk out, snort coldly, and with a flick of his wrist, store the Ziyang Beast somewhere. Then he looked at the destroyed formation around him, lost in thought.

"This formation is too weak... Looks like I need to learn some powerful formations. Off to the Formation Academy!"

Looking around, Zhang Xuan muttered to himself, then turned and walked away.

Afraid the youth might return, Dong Xin didn't dare move, hiding in the tree for a full three hours. Only when it was nearly dark did she stretch her slightly stiff body and hurriedly dart out.

What she had seen today was simply too huge!

So huge that it had already terrified her!

No wonder this Zhang Xuan was so talented, capable of anything... it turned out he wasn't human!

It was said that members of the royal clan of the Alien Tribe could disguise themselves as humans, and even Saint-level masters couldn't detect them. I thought it was nonsense... but it's true!

An Alien Tribe member infiltrating a master teacher academy and becoming a master teacher... if this news got out, the entire academy would explode, and even the Master Teacher Hall would be in turmoil.

"No, I must report this immediately..."

Recalling what she had seen, Dong Xin could no longer hold back and rushed toward the Master Teacher Academy.

This matter was too serious; as a student, she certainly couldn't conceal it and had to report it as soon as possible.

But... something so shocking, how many would believe it if she spoke out?

This Zhang Xuan was highly regarded by Dean Mi, Dean Zhao, Dean Wei, and even Dean Jiang of the academy, and was on good terms with Hall Master Mo of the Master Teacher Academy... he also had a decent relationship with that Teacher Luo from headquarters...

Without solid evidence, directly accusing him would not only fail to convince others but might even be considered slander, resulting in the revocation of her master teacher qualification!

"First, discuss it with my teacher..."

Thoughts flashed through her mind.

Having stood out in the Master Teacher Academy, founded the Dong Xin Society, and become a well-known senior among students, she was by no means a reckless person.

This Zhang Xuan had entered the academy for only a short time, yet had won the trust of tens of thousands of students and even impressed the four deans and Hall Master Mo... his status was far beyond hers!

Without evidence, speaking rashly would not only fail to solve the problem if counterattacked, but might even lead to disqualification, or even... assassination!

Therefore, this matter cannot be handled recklessly; it must be handled with extreme caution!

"Even if my teacher believes me, his status is lower than Dean Zhao's, so he has no say... Right, I'll find Dean Lu Feng!"

A figure emerged in her mind.

Although her teacher Chen Chengxun's status in the academy was not low, he was still inferior to Zhao Bingxu. Once the latter obstructed, it would be difficult to succeed.

Unless... she sought out Lu Feng, the acting dean!

Lu Feng and this Zhang Xuan were already at odds. If she told him about this matter, it might yield better results.

"First, find my teacher, have him locate Dean Lu Feng, and then... state this matter in their presence!"

Dong Xin gritted her teeth.

This matter was too significant; it could not be spoken of lightly and required careful consideration.

At this moment, among the Master Teacher Academy, the most reliable person was only Dean Lu Feng.

Not only did he have a poor relationship with this Zhang Xuan, but there was also conflict between them. Revealing this news would surely attract great attention.

Whoosh!

With these thoughts, she hesitated no longer. Her delicate figure flickered, and Dong Xin shot straight toward the residence of the Dean of the Array Masters Academy.
