Sun Wukong watched for a while and then he understood the meaning of the runes.

"Ah, so that's it."

With a wave of his hand, a spiritual wind swept across, silently extinguishing the runes on the ground.

The working Guang Hui elder and others suddenly stopped and then slumped onto the ground one after another.

"Ah, my back, why is it so sore!"

"I can't lift my hands anymore!"

"I haven't slept for days, I'm really too drowsy!"

Some people complained about their aches and pains, while some directly lay on the ground and fell into a deep sleep, the lively scene seemingly disappeared in an instant.

Sun Wukong landed on the ground.

"Brother."

Ao Luan came up to him: "What's going on?"

"It's nothing serious."

Sun Wukong glanced at the people, having a thorough understanding of their physical condition.

"The Immortal inscribed a rune below."

He said: "You must tell him not to recklessly use this rune."

Ao Luan nodded, not quite understanding.

Sun Wukong then left.

Ao Luan found Immortal Zhenyuan.

"It's a Struggle Charm."

Immortal Zhenyuan answered with a smile.

The rune beneath Miao Yin Square was a Struggle Charm.

The effect of this rune was simple: it inspired people to strive and better themselves.

"The sacred character propels people forward."

Immortal Zhenyuan said: "You may see your brother's exterior calm, but his heart is like flames, ceaselessly pursuing his goals, something rare in this world."

Such is the power of struggle.

However, struggle is just one aspect of the 'sacred' character's features, as for the others, Immortal Zhenyuan could not immediately identify them.

"So that's it..."

Ao Luan felt a sudden sense of loss in her heart.

She finally understood why Immortal Zhenyuan said that the sacred character had nothing to do with scholarship.

The Serenity Talisman of the Star of Literature was used to promote scholarship, and scholarship is a form of struggle, the function of that Serenity Talisman was not to make people study, but to make them strive.

"The Immortal sees more clearly than I do."

Ao Luan thought, the effects of the 'sacred' character were easy to spot in the eyes of someone who knows it well.

She knew the flame in Sun Wukong's heart as well, but Immortal Zhenyuan discovered it before she did.

She felt that she had failed.

Over the past month, she used the sacred character to create Love Communication Talisman and Mutual Urging Talisman among others, trying every means to get closer to Sun Wukong.

Now it seemed that she had been too obsessed, taking a shortcut.

The character drawn by Sun Wukong was just like himself, magnificent and warm, she had forgotten this and underestimated its meaning.

Ao Luan suppressed her thoughts and took a deep breath.

"Brother has told you not to use that rune anymore."

She said to Immortal Zhenyuan.

Immortal Zhenyuan furrowed his brow: "It's a good rune, why can't it be used?"

"It's too powerful."

Ao Luan quickly corrected: "Brother said you mustn't use it recklessly."

"That's true..."

Immortal Zhenyuan nodded.

His divine skills were vast, and the runes he crafted naturally had extraordinary effects.

"In that case, I will refrain from using it personally."

Immortal Zhenyuan declared.

He then reminded Ao Luan: "You also must not allow other immortals to use it."

Immortal Zhenyuan realized Ao Luan had made a mistake; she should not have shared the 'sacred' character for immortals to study.

If used properly, the runes drawn by this character could have immense power, and with the strength of immortals, they could have a great impact on demons.

The effect of the Serenity Talisman from the Star of Literature was also excessively good.

"I understand."

After listening to Immortal Zhenyuan's explanation, Ao Luan broke out in cold sweat and promptly agreed.

The 'sacred' character was thereafter left for the demons to research on their own.

The runes drawn by mortals, naturally, would not be too potent.

The 'Saint' character thus gradually integrated into the Rune System of Wanling City.

Just like that, half a year passed by.

As Mountain and Sea City was gradually completed, some matters also began to unfold.

The first matter was student enrollment. Two years before the completion of Mountain and Sea City, the vast and diverse enrollment process had already commenced in Wanling Country.

With its large population and diverse races, how to enroll students and how to allocate placements in the colleges were indeed strict and difficult tasks.

Of course, this task had nothing to do with Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong had long ceased dealing with work in the general sense; however, he still needed to make decisions on some particularly important matters.

Such as the division of the school term.

Grandmaster, accompanied by a group of scholars, came to Sun Wukong with several proposals.

Among these proposals, there were systems with three terms as well as two terms.

Sun Wukong eliminated the trimester system and selected two plans from the semester system that were most similar to those in the Heavenly Book.

"Spring enrollment or autumn enrollment..."

Sun Wukong looked at the two proposals and asked, "Is there any difference between these two?"

"Not much difference, it's just that people have different opinions."

Grandmaster said, "Ao Luan and I have different views, so we come to ask for your final word."

"In that case, let's..."

Just as Sun Wukong was about to decide, a voice came from outside.

"Let's start the school in autumn, then!"

That was Daji's voice.

Both looked up.

Daji, swaying her nine tails, walked over.

The scholars behind Grandmaster all began to bleed from their noses.

The Immortal Officials of Wanling Hall were also somewhat weak in the knees.

"Take them down."

Sun Wukong waved his hand, and fairies immediately dragged the misbehaving Immortal Officials and scholars away.

After they all disappeared, Sun Wukong then told Daji, "You should restrain your bearing."

"I cannot restrain it."

Daji looked somewhat innocent.

"Isn't wearing a veil enough?"

She said so.

Sun Wukong, looking at the veil on her face, was left speechless.

He could only return to the matter at hand: "Why start in autumn?"

"Mountain and Sea City will be ready by next summer."

Daji responded, "It's just the right time to start the school."

"Ready next year?"

Sun Wukong was slightly surprised, how could it be so quick.

"Is the Immortal using that Rune again?"

"The Demons are currently using it."

Grandmaster said, "It's a good rune."

He had seen that rune, and thinking it was good, he had Ao Luan promote it.

Even without using Immortals' power, when Taoists craft the runes, they can inspire a fighting spirit in people.

This spirit is not strong, and as long as one exercises moderation, there are virtually no side effects.

"In that case, autumn it shall be..."

After listening to Grandmaster's explanation, Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Opening school in autumn is good."

"There's another matter."

Grandmaster continued to ask, "Would you be willing to teach in Mountain and Sea City?"

"Grandmaster, you've come to invite me too?"

Sun Wukong couldn't help but laugh.

Recently, while reading in the library, there were many scholars who came to invite him to teach in Mountain and Sea City.

After Sun Wukong rejected them all, he didn't expect the Grandmaster to come as well.

"No."

Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "I want to integrate Divine Skills into one, turn complexity into simplicity, I can't disengage."

"At least you must agree to one thing."

Grandmaster didn't pressure Sun Wukong, just said, "You must attend and say a few words at the opening of the next autumn semester."

Sun Wukong agreed.
