Su Yuan watched in the Practical Combat Hall for a while. Seeing there wasn''t anyone worth paying attention to, he prepared to leave.


    But tomorrow it would definitely be lively because the preliminary challenge for mentors would also take ce in this No. 1 Practical Combat Hall.


    "Are you still going to continue helping with the treatment?" Su Yuan asked Shang Baiyu beside him.


    "Of course!" Shang Baiyu smiled. "There''s nothing much for me to do if I go back. If you need to go somewhere else, don''t worry about me."


    "Alright then, I''m leaving first."


    Su Yuan nodded and walked toward the exit of the Practical Combat Hall. Just as he stepped out, his phone suddenly rang.


    Su Yuan opened his phone. He received a new message.


    "Come to the Book Tower, the outer corridor at the southeast corner of the third floor." — Yang Yifeng


    Sure enough, it hade!


    Su Yuan''s expression changed slightly. He opened the academy map attached to the admission email and quickly found the location of the Book Tower. Although it was also in the South District, it was much closer to the center of the Demon Capital Academy.


    After replying with "Received," Su Yuan got ready to head to the Book Tower. But when he turned around, he saw Shang Baiyu following him.


    "Didn''t you say you have to stay here to treat others?" Su Yuan asked, puzzled.


    Shang Baiyu sighed, somewhat helpless. "The preliminary mentor just asked me to go find him."


    "Preliminary mentor..." An idea popped into Su Yuan''s mind. "Could it be, you are going to the Book Tower too?"


    "Uh, how did you know..."


    Halfway through his sentence, Shang Baiyu realized and asked in surprise, "You too, Yang Yifeng as your mentor?"


    "That''s right," Su Yuan smiled. "What a coincidence."


    Shang Baiyu couldn''t help butugh. "Haha, we must really have some fate. Not only are we neighbors, but we even have the same mentor."


    Su Yuan nodded. "Let''s go over first. We can talk on the way."


    The two of them left the Practical Combat Hall together and headed for the Book Tower.


    The ce where the Demon Capital Academy stored its books was named Book Tower, not library.


    Because it was indeed a tower. A sixteen-story ck tower with strict entry permissions.


    The first to third floors were open to Star Apprentices and Bronze Level.


    The fourth to sixth floors were open to Silver Stage.


    The seventh to ninth floors were open to Gold Level.


    The tenth and eleventh floors were open to Shining Star Level.


    The twelfth and thirteenth floors were open to Radiant Moon Level.


    The fourteenth and fifteenth floors were open to Burning Sun Level.


    As for the top sixteenth floor, currently, less than a handful of people in the entire Demon Capital Academy could ess it.


    Besides four experts above Burning Sun Level, including the principal, only a few others such as the head of teaching and the Book Tower manager had the privilege to go in.


    Nearly half an hourter, Su Yuan and others arrived at the Book Tower, swiped their student cards, and walked in.


    "There are actually quite a few people here, and many seem to be senior students."


    The admission time for new students and returning senior students at the Demon Capital Academy was staggered.


    New students arrived on September 1, while senior students returned on September 6 each year. So the senior students currently in the academy were likely just a small part.


    That''s why, since Su Yuan joined the academy, he hardly saw any senior students other than the student council members.


    However, at this moment on the first floor of the Book Tower, besides the curious new students looking around, there were many senior students quietly reading and studying documents.


    Shang Baiyu showed a hint of anticipation on his face. "Let''s go to the third floor first. I wonder what our mentor Yang Yifeng is like!"

    Seeing Shang Baiyu''s eager look, Su Yuan felt an inexplicable sense of unease.


    The two of them went up the spiral staircase to the third floor. At a small table by the southeast corner of the tower, they saw their preliminary mentor.


    He was an old man with white hair and a white beard, unkempt in appearance, wearing a vest and sandals, holding a hand fan worth about ten bucks, fanning himself.


    "This....?"


    Such an appearance stunned the eagerly arriving Shang Baiyu and Su Yuan.


    A Burning Sun expert should be grand, imposing, and condescending, right? Why did the person in front of them resemble an old man who yed chess and drank tea downstairs in their neighborhood?@@novelbin@@


    The mental gap was toorge, making Su Yuan and Shang Baiyu think they hade to the wrong ce.


    Shang Baiyu stepped back and looked around, but there were only bookshelves on both sides, and only here could they reach the outer corridor of the tower.


    "Hey, you''re all here? Stop standing there. Come on over!"


    The old man called out when he saw them standing still.


    The old man''s voice wasn''t loud, but it seemed to ring directly in Su Yuan''s mind.


    "This skill, not bad..." Su Yuan''s heart moved. He nced at the old man again and then walked over.


    Shang Baiyu had no choice but to follow Su Yuan.


    Su Yuan asked, "Are you teacher Yang Yifeng?"


    The old man shook the fan. "Absolutely."


    Shang Baiyu''sst bit of hope was shattered.


    Special admissions and the top ten in the college entrance examination usually got picked by Burning Sun Level mentors. But if it was the support ss, then not always.


    Because whether warriors or magicians, as long as they belonged to the main battle system, they were usually self-sufficient. It was easier for mentors to take care of them since it was more convenient for learning and tasks.


    However, students of the support ss had weaker self-preservation and insufficient attack power. Their actions often requiredpanions, making them unstable and more troublesome for the mentor.


    Even if they were special admissions, a Burning Sun Level mentor might not pick them.


    This morning, Shang Baiyu found out he was chosen by a Burning Sun Level mentor at Demon Capital Academy and was very happy. But now...


    Reality and imagination were indeed quite different!


    Because he was in the support ss, Shang Baiyu didn''t worry about challenges from others, as the mentor would reject such challenges.


    But simrly, because of limitedbat ability, it was impossible for Shang Baiyu to switch mentors...


    Yang Yifeng said, "You two sit down."


    Su Yuan and Shang Baiyu sat opposite Yang Yifeng.


    Yang Yifeng said slowly, "Since tomorrow is the preliminary challenge, at this time, mentors usually gather their chosen students to talk, to prevent them from running away.


    I''m no exception.


    So I will briefly introduce my strengths to keep you from running to other mentors."


    As he spoke, Yang Yifeng slowly put down the hand fan.


    At the moment the fan fell, Yang Yifeng''s entire demeanor drastically changed.


    The smile on his face disappeared, reced by a dignified expression. His eyes shone with spirit, and an extremely domineering aura exploded from his body!


    In an instant, Su Yuan and Shang Baiyu felt like the whole world in their vision was reduced to the person in front of them, and everything else seemed insignificant as dust and weeds.


    "What is this?!"


    Su Yuan''s pupils quivered in shock. He gasped for breath, his thoughts sluggish.


    Even a Burning Sun Level shouldn''t have such terrifying presence!


    But this feeling quickly dissipated as Yang Yifeng spoke again.


    "First, my preliminary sequence is... 1."
