"Oh? It's rare to hear you speak like this, you're usually so humble to the point of excess."

"It seems your performance this time was indeed impressive. The final challenge of the exam should have been the Moon Giant under the Eternal Night, right? Simply surviving and evading doesn't seem like your style."

"So, you must have wounded the Moon Giant. Not bad, not bad."

Zhou Wuliang gently stroked his beard, exuding an air of having seen through everything from the bottom of his heart.

The corners of his mouth lifted with a hint of pride, as he was well aware of the Moon Giant's strength. Even in its juvenile stage, it wasn't something these young ones, who hadn't grasped the rules, could contend with.

To make the Moon Giant take a step back would already be a supreme achievement, and to make it retreat several steps continuously would mark one as a peerless figure who could dominate an era.

As for injuring the Moon Giant, without mastering the rules, it was impossible.

He intentionally exaggerated a bit.

It's because this disciple of his, Su Tu, was too extraordinary, always testing his heart, so he left room by saying Su Tu wounded the Moon Giant.

In case this student was indeed that formidable, he could maintain the profound air of a mentor, and if not, he could still offer some consolation.

One could only say, Zhou Wuliang truly understood the art of mentorship.

However, upon hearing Zhou Wuliang's words, Su Tu's expression turned somewhat peculiar.

Noticing this, Zhou Wuliang lightly raised the corner of his mouth, thinking he had overestimated.

He began to speak, "The Moon Giant is an extremely powerful being, with a trace of Divine Blood within. Even in its juvenile form, it's not something you can contend with."

"Before reaching the state of a Celestial Being, there's no way you could harm it. For you to make it take several steps back is already immensely impressive."

"As for actually injuring the Moon Giant, I dare say, even if all the students in the arena joined forces, they wouldn't be able to harm it in the slightest."

Zhou Wuliang spoke calmly.

At this point, Su Tu aptly replied, "Master, I indeed did not injure the Moon Giant, but I exterminated it."

"No need to mind, when you become a Celestial... what did you say???"

Zhou Wuliang had been maintaining his inscrutable demeanor, but upon hearing the latter part of Su Tu's words, he abruptly stood up, unable to hold his composure.

Struggling to suppress his astonished expression, he gestured to Su Tu, saying, "You sit first, I have something to attend to..."

Swish!!!

The next moment, Zhou Wuliang's figure disappeared into the void, and the entire martial hall trembled violently.

Su Tu knew that the Wooden Man Dummy in the training room was about to suffer again....

"Without mastering the rules, to be able to destroy the Moon Giant?? This young one's combat power is truly terrifying, truly reminiscent of the prowess of a True Monarch from the past!"

The Black Mist Man sat on another Master's Chair, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Su Tu.

Then, with a slightly playful glance towards the window, he said: "Old Zhou, Old Zhou, weren't you saying something about a mentor needing to be inscrutable? You're too restless!"

"Master indeed made a mountain out of a molehill."

"I also think it's a bit exaggerated."

A voice echoed in agreement nearby.

"Right, you think so too..." The Black Mist Man, initially sounding pleased, as if he had found a kindred spirit, quickly hushed as though realizing something extraordinary.

His eyes widened unconsciously towards Su Tu, who was also returning the gaze with eyes as black and white as ink.

His figure wavered, transforming into a beam of black mist that vanished elsewhere, with Su Tu's gaze following him there.

"You... can see me?"

Su Tu chuckled lightly, "When Master was not in the martial hall earlier, we relied on your protection, elder."

"Oh my, you really can see me!!"

The Black Mist Man exclaimed in surprise, then quickly vanished into the inner room, as if fleeing from some calamity.

Witnessing this scene left Su Tu both amused and helpless, wondering why he seemed to appear as some sort of formidable beast.

Long before, Su Tu had known there was a mysterious presence following his master.

During Zhou Wuliang's trip across the Star River visiting friends, this elusive being had silently safeguarded them within the martial hall.

Previously, Su Tu could only use small tricks to verify its existence.

But now, with his Candle Wisdom reaching the High Tier, he could easily sense the presence.

Moreover, he could directly see through the Black Mist Man's concealment.

Though he hadn't expected such a dramatic reaction, as if a monumental event had occurred. If he'd known earlier, Su Tu would have continued pretending to be in the dark as before.

Soon, Zhou Wuliang returned to the room, his expression calm as usual, eyeing Su Tu up and down.

"Can you see him now?"

"Yes, I had already vaguely sensed the elder's presence. After this trip, upon a breakthrough in my Heart and Spirit, I could see him clearly."

"He is an old friend of mine, one who prefers peace and quiet, disliking disturbance, hence his concealed presence."

"Understood, I won't mention this to other students and will pretend not to notice ordinarily."

Su Tu replied with understanding.

Hearing this, Zhou Wuliang shook his head helplessly, feeling this student was astoundingly perceptive.

"Being able to see him indicates your Heart and Spirit have grown powerful enough to learn this Heart and Spirit Secret Technique."

As he spoke, Zhou Wuliang lightly touched his fingertip, and a streak of flowing light entered Su Tu's forehead.

Within his Heart and Spirit, a light shadow emerged.

"For exterminating the Moon Giant, the first place is surely yours. This secret technique shall be an early gift from your master."
