Su Tu watched as Teacher Liu flew high into the air. He sensed a power far superior and far more complete than the rules, a power close to the essence—that was... Dao!

The visitor was a Daoist Master!

"Old Situ, if you want an assessment, just do it. Don't get any other ideas, alright? This is our precious talent, our sole treasure. Anyone who dares to poach him, I won't let it go!"

As the old man appeared, he glared at President Situ, completely unconcerned about his identity.

"This really wasn't planned by me. I didn't expect Teacher Liu to say such things..."

President Situ shook his head helplessly. He hadn't anticipated that the usually reserved Teacher Liu would develop a fondness for Su Tu and a desire to mentor him personally.

For this reason, Su Tu expressed that having too much talent can also be a frustrating dilemma.

Listening to the words of this tall old man before him, his identity was now obvious.

With his Dao cultivation and calling himself a sole treasure, his status was high. This old man could only be Liu Bentian, Director of the Ancient Skill Research Department, who had once joined Old Zhou in causing a stir with the Seven Great Alliances: Director Liu!

"Director Liu."

He spoke up.

"Ah!!"

Upon hearing Su Tu speak, the old man quickly turned around, his previously stern face suddenly softened with kindness.

He appeared completely different from before.

"Good child, good child, one look and I knew this child is the treasure of our department!"

"Little Tu, let me tell you, if anyone comes to you, saying they'll train you or whatever nonsense, you don't need to pay attention. Although our department specializes in Ancient Skills, our foundation in Martial Arts Dao is no worse than others."

"Our department's teachers are all talented, and they each speak eloquently. Whatever you wish to learn, we have it!"

Liu Bentian spoke kindly to Su Tu, but his gaze subtly swept over the few teachers nearby.

The kind gaze previously on Su Tu suddenly carried an unspeakable threat, a naked threat.

Instantly, all the teachers averted their gaze. Appreciating talent is one thing, but no one wanted to provoke those from the Ancient Skill department.

Listening to Liu Bentian's tone, Su Tu felt a little helpless.

The meaning behind those words was like an elder in the family advising their child not to speak to strangers.

"Old Liu, don't worry, this child belongs to your department and won't change. I'm still conducting the assessment here, so please cooperate a little."

President Situ spoke to Liu Bentian with a tone of helplessness.

"Assessment, my foot! I've just seen it, and just from the physical strength aspect alone, this child is undeniably a 'True King Candidate.' What's there to assess? I think you're plotting something!"

Liu Bentian spoke as if fueled by anger, giving President Situ no face at all.

However, judging by this, the relationship between these two elders seemed good.

Upon hearing the words "True King Candidate," Su Tu's eyes slightly trembled.

Earlier, he already sensed something amiss. Teacher Liu's physical strength was terrifying. If the assessment was conducted by someone of this level, the students who could pass would be less than one in millions.

It seems now that the advancement exams and entrance quizzes were mere cover-ups; the so-called 'True King Candidate' was the real purpose of this assessment.

Upon hearing these four words from Liu Bentian's mouth.

President Situ's expression suddenly became very helpless: "I haven't told him yet... Old thing, always so reckless... Forget it, Little Tu, come with me to the office."

"Originally, this matter was intended to be discussed later, but since Old Liu brought it up, let's clarify it now..."

President Situ spoke helplessly.

Then he looked at the teachers not far away, waved his hand, signaling them to retreat.

Liu Bentian snorted coldly: "Situ, you think too deeply, too much. This child is outstanding; you should speak directly."

Next, he looked at Su Tu again and resumed his kind appearance: "Little Tu, I can't eavesdrop on this matter. You need to go with Old Situ yourself, and when you're done, come visit our department building. Granny She misses you."

Seeing Liu Bentian's two-faced behavior, Su Tu understood the art of switching facades.

But Su Tu did not dislike his double standards; thus, he politely agreed to Liu Bentian, stating he would visit shortly.

Regarding the Ancient Skill department, the ones who caused a stir with Old Zhou together with the Seven Great Alliances, Su Tu had a good impression of them.

Then he left together with President Situ, taking a magnetic levitation elevator, rising quickly into a building floating in the sky.

The president's office was located inside.

Once inside, President Situ indicated for Su Tu to sit down.

He then began to speak: "I believe Student Su Tu has already sensed that your assessment just now was a little... intense."

Upon hearing this, Su Tu's lips curled into a smile.

Yes, it was exceedingly intense.

President Situ ignored Su Tu's knowing smile and continued speaking on his own.

"The reason for assessing your admission grade is only part of that assessment. The real reason is that we want to better understand your capabilities."

"Because, in my eyes, you are qualified to vie for 'True King,' and hence, we want to see your full capability for planning ahead."

Su Tu quickly caught on to the focal point in this sentence.
