Almost at the same time, people from the Martial Arts Headquarters carefully retrieved the wooden mannequin.

Afterwards, an elder with white hair and beard arrived at the third examination venue.

As soon as the person entered the examination venue, Su Tu felt an extremely terrifying wave of heart and spirit power sweeping over.

Whirlwind!!

The heart and spirit transformed into a hurricane, howling throughout the entire venue.

Compared to the reverent and respectful eyes of the other martial artists, Su Tu carefully sensed the external explosion of heart and spirit power.

"By integrating the power of the heart and spirit with Qi through the Eight Major Acupoints, shaping it with Qi, using the heart and spirit as the core; it seems violent, yet it's restrained, capturing even the faintest traces of heart and spirit."

"Such a clever technique."

Su Tu couldn't help but marvel at the elder's method.

Soon, all the tumultuous voids quietly dissipated, and the elder walked over leisurely, arriving in front of Su Tu.

Completely ignoring the fawning eyes of the surrounding stationed martial artists.

"Are you the chief examiner and person in charge of the third examination venue?" The elder frowned, looking at Su Tu with an unfriendly tone.

Su Tu honestly replied, "Yes, it's indeed me, junior."

"Nonsense!! Does old Zhou know you're acting as this examiner??"

"This is the best time for your cultivation; you shouldn't waste time in a place like this. Your goal is the final exam, not those reckless foreign races!"

The elder raised an eyebrow, scolding in a low voice, but without being overbearing, more like advice and concern.

It was clear that this elder was acquainted with Zhou Wuliang and knew about Su Tu being the "Emperor," as well as being the seventh disciple of Zhou Wuliang.

"Do you know my master?" Su Tu couldn't help but ask.

The elder had an ordinary appearance, except for a pair of sharp eyes, like an eagle's, carrying a strong offensiveness.

"Hasn't he ever mentioned me to you? What about the old Lady She?"

The elder queried in return.

Upon hearing this, Su Tu realized he misspoke and remained silent.

The elder saw this and snorted coldly.

"Your master is a stubborn person; if there's a main road and a dead end placed together, he will definitely choose the dead end, won't stop even if he hits his head!"

Hearing the elder's evaluation, Su Tu involuntarily nodded.

Old Zhou truly had such a personality.

Seeing Su Tu nodding in agreement, the elder's face showed a few smiles: "Hahaha, you also think I'm right, don't you."

"Good lad, you have insight. Although I'm not of your Dao lineage, based on your master, calling me uncle won't do you any harm."

The elder said lightly.

"Uncle!" Su Tu obediently called out.

He had always given elders the respect they deserved.

Especially this elder in front of him, even though his martial arts cultivation might not be high, his heart and spirit surged as if seated upon the clouds, an extremely terrifying existence.

"Hahaha, calling me uncle wasn't in vain."

The elder stretched out his hand, and without any visible action, a small bell appeared in his hand.

"Take it; this is a small gadget I practiced with. It can ring thrice with the heart and spirit, and from the ring onward, unless they're a Great Divine Power User, no one can harm you with heart and spirit."

The so-called Great Divine Power User is a supreme being whose heart and spirit have reached the Other Shore, with heart life as eternal as the stars, willing the world into bloom, decimating all beings with a thought.

Su Tu quickly took the bell: "I dare not decline the gift of the elder."

"No one's asking you to decline," the elder chuckled lightly.

In the next moment, his eyes suddenly shifted.

In an instant, the whole world turned upside down in Su Tu's eyes.

The eternal unchanging sky above humans' heads was now under Su Tu's feet, and the earth supporting everything was suspended overhead.

Faced with such a scene, Su Tu's expression didn't change at all.

Because, before everything happened, a faint wave of heart and spirit flashed on the elder, a wave Su Tu keenly captured.

He was already prepared in his heart.

Seeing the calm Su Tu, the elder nodded with satisfaction, gaining even more recognition of Su Tu's temperament.

"There's something you need to know: all examination venues throughout the Ancestor Star have been checked; no one has infiltrated."

"Which means, they're targeting you, acting cleanly, leaving no traces behind. The bell I left for you is to protect you."

The elder spoke solemnly, looking at Su Tu.

"I see, I understand, thank you, uncle."

Su Tu's gaze flowed with meaning.

"I won't persuade you to leave because I can sense your heart and spirit; you seem gentle, but your temperament is even more relentless than old Zhou's. You have your path, I won't persuade you."

"I've already set up a Heart Array at the third examination venue. If the opponent appears again, I'll be there in an instant."

"You've left behind plenty of enemies along the way, and accrued even more."

"Chen Xian from the Chen Family has already arrived at the Ancestor Star. He doesn't need to take the martial exam; he's coming for you, oh you..."

The elder's voice carried a few sighs.

Su Tu initially thought the elder would advise him on something.

But unexpectedly, this uncle said, "You should act more decisively, more ruthlessly, amass power, deal with entire families, and send them off whole."

Hearing this, Su Tu suddenly felt choked.

Alright, alright, he originally thought the old man would advise him to be kind, but it turned out he was teaching him to send families off whole.

"I've learned,"

Su Tu spoke, clasping his hands.

"The Chen Family has sought people; there's likely to be someone looking for you tomorrow. The emergence battle of celestial prides isn't a small matter. Coupled with this current issue, if you don't wish for it, I can dismiss this battle for you."

The elder circled around for a long time and finally got to the main point.

Su Tu also didn't expect Chen Xian to come looking for him at such a time.

A glimmer flashed across his eyes; everything from that Celestial Pride List day was still vivid in his mind.

"No need, I am a kind person; if he seeks death, how can I not grant it..."

Su Tu spoke earnestly.

Seeing Su Tu in this manner, the elder knew it was useless to persuade him. He sighed lightly.

Then, after repeatedly reminding Su Tu to be absolutely careful, everything was released.

Although their exchange seemed lengthy, in the outside world it was merely a moment.

"Be extremely careful; the opponent's target isn't the martial exam but you."

Before leaving, the elder specially reminded Su Tu once more.

Su Tu nodded obediently.

After seeing off the elder, Su Tu ignored the fawning eyes of the other martial artists.

He turned away and left by himself.

"Damn, what exactly is this master's identity? Isn't he just a local celestial pride used to ascend martial arts luck, and having military martial guards is enough, yet even a Great Divine Power User is his uncle??"

The martial artists excitedly discussed, relaxing now that a Great Divine Power User had intervened; any danger should be cleaned up.

Su Tu arrived at the dormitory prepared for him.

He casually sat on the bed, his eyes flickering with dim light.

"Three Deceits Cult..."

He murmured softly.

A being capable of evading a Great Divine Power User's detection can't possibly be using methods from the Ancestor Star's Three Deceits Cult.

The other party is likely an entity from beyond the Star River.

He didn't attack me; instead, he was observing me...

What is it he (or she) is watching...

Su Tu's brow furrowed slightly: "Someone noticed my identity... Have I been exposed..."

At this moment, it's the only possibility he could think of, that someone from the Three Deceits Cult noticed his alias "Mr."

Su Tu could fool the Kellers, number one, but he knew he could never fool a Great Divine Power User.

Once he appeared in their sight, he would definitely be exposed!

Yet... why didn't the opponent make a move... no response even when I shattered his cover...

Su Tu couldn't understand, couldn't figure it out...

.....

A pair of somewhat rough hands kept flipping through something.

Her movements paused slightly, as if sensing something.

"This child never settles..." she said with a helpless voice.

"Ms. Liu, still at work?" Someone greeted.

"Yeah, working overtime, my class's students didn't do well in the mock exam this time. The martial exam is just over; the college entrance exam is coming up, I have to grade their papers quickly and help them reinforce their knowledge."
