Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1897 - 1892: Unyielding in the Face of Power


Chapter 1897: Chapter 1892: Unyielding in the Face of Power

Ah?

The sudden declaration stunned everyone, leaving Wen Li at a loss.

Using one’s abilities against a mentor isn’t necessarily offensive; in many situations, it is a common form of guidance.

The issue was whether such blunt commentary, especially towards another academy, was too harsh for a prominent figure like Fu Qian.

Indeed, Professor Fu is known for his controversial personality...

Of course, these thoughts were attributed to Fu Qian, perfectly mirroring Wen Li’s nuanced expressions and hesitations.

This performance, rich with information, lasted only two seconds before being abruptly ended.

Faced with this rare opportunity for guidance from a Demigod, Wen Li didn’t immediately agree. Instead, she first glanced at Ni Huayuan, who brought her here, evidently respecting his opinion.

Hehe...

But Ni Huayuan’s fake smile had already turned into a cold one.

"Since Professor Fu is so enthusiastic, it would be a waste not to take this rare opportunity. Let him see what you’ve got."

Though dissatisfied, it was true Divine Ashes was at fault in the previous incident, and Wen Li’s attitude was commendable.

Thus, Ni Huayuan didn’t press further and simply nodded.

"Alright."

All geniuses have their pride. Since Ni Professor, who brought her, said so, Wen Li didn’t refuse any longer. She turned her head, took a deep breath, and prepared to proceed.

...

In just a few words, the situation escalated to on-the-spot guidance.

Although it was clear Ni Huayuan wasn’t here with good intentions, the efficiency shown was indeed a testament to Professor Fu’s remarkable control of the situation.

Most of the audience was already familiar with his style.

At that moment, both Ji Liushuang and Su Gao focused intently on Wen Li, showing no surprise.

Even more so, Ji Liushuang didn’t hide his anticipation and helpfully moved Wen Li’s teacup aside.

As for Yuan Fang, sitting not far away, he seemed quite content, sipping tea while watching the unfolding scene.

Enjoying tea along with such an interesting show is an unmissable opportunity.

As for things getting out of hand?

A joke, given how many times dealings have transpired, when has Professor Fu caused worry?

"Emotional projection? Interesting, indeed a rare ability."

The only pity was that demonstrations within the Psychic Series rarely entertained the crowd. Watching requires a certain threshold.

As Yuan Fang sipped his first cup of tea, Professor Fu had already focused on the elegant face across from him, making his evaluation.

Huh? Is it over just like that?

Undoubtedly feeling a bit let down, Yuan Fang knew that a show lacking drama involves intellectual aspects; thus, he paid attention to the reaction from the Divine Ashes members to this commentary.

"Professor Fu’s insight is sharp. Sensing and influencing emotions is indeed the main aspect of my abilities."

When faced with what seemed like a complimentary evaluation, the young man named Wen Li displayed commendable poise, neither arrogant nor self-effacing.

"But the strength was lacking. With this level, I truly can’t muster any concern for Divine Ashes misleading their students."

Unfortunately, the naive youth had a shallow understanding of the Heaven’s Commencement Temporary Leader.

The follow-up comment from Professor Fu immediately changed her expression.

Of course, Wen Li wasn’t the only one provoked.

She turned somewhat helplessly, looking at Ni Huayuan standing beside her.

His once fair and gentle face lost its smile, now stiff as if plastered with a mask.

"Shall I continue, Professor Fu?"

Clearly understanding something, Wen Li turned her head back toward Fu Qian without waiting for Ni Huayuan to respond, ready to proceed to the second round.

Her gaze was resolute, her expression even more serious than before, giving off an air of earnestness.

"Go ahead."

Despite the harsh critique, Professor Fu showed no dissatisfaction with the young person’s spirit, even gesturing for her to proceed.

Meanwhile, Ni Huayuan, who had been verbally attacked, received not a single glance, embodying a sense of double standards.

In this subtle atmosphere, Wen Li slowly closed her eyes.

Within half a breath, an invisible force swept forth.

...

Indeed, she didn’t waste this opportunity to learn.

The second commentary on this meeting came slightly later than the first.

His lips still curved into a slight smile, but this time Professor Fu lowered his gaze, seemingly contemplating Wen Li’s efforts to prove herself.

That, indeed, was the case.

Wen Li’s ability was already familiar to Fu Qian, as this wasn’t the first time he served as a test subject.

Still, it must be said that after her studies, she seemed to have grasped some special force tactic, exponentially amplifying the emotions.

For both tests, Wen Li used the same method: the simplest emotional projection and amplification.

In the first instance, the intensity was about the standard she could achieve after advancement.

Being at the Second Phase, one could indeed feel the influence.

But the second instance was a different story.

It had far exceeded the limits of what she could achieve by gritting her teeth and amplifying her power—a hundred times the emotional surge.

At this level, it was more than a mere inconvenience. For those with weaker mental resistance, it was akin to a challenging Psychic Blast.

While it might still fall short of truly influencing the course of will, for an ordinary Demigod, such a hit could cause temporary confusion without difficulty.

Despite seemingly not being easy to release.

When Wen Li opened her eyes again, exhaustion was evident, even a thin layer of sweat seemed to be forming on her forehead.

"Now that’s more like it."

Being stared at by those determined eyes, Professor Fu, fresh from his critique, finally let out a hearty laugh, unbothered by any offense.

"Was it crafted this way before as well?"

Before Wen Li could answer humbly, he continued his inquiry.

...

Mid-retort, Wen Li paused, clearly not expecting such a question, and couldn’t help but glance again at Ni Huayuan at her side.

This query’s nature differed from ability testing, even straying a bit into sensitive territory, and she evidently hoped for guidance from the Spirit Ash Mentor.

"Indeed, previously several professors aided her in more flexibly mastering her abilities."

This time, Ni Huayuan didn’t leave the young person to face the oppressive presence from their counterpart alone.

"There were some uncontrollable minor incidents during the testing. Hopefully, they didn’t trouble you, Professor Fu?"

Although theoretically a concern, Ni Huayuan’s tone was openly hostile by the end.
