Actually, when Lin Ye and his team first unlocked the Secret Realm, there was already an announcement.

Therefore, the students at Shangjing University were basically aware that Lin Ye, along with Li Fei and Zong Muxue, went to challenge the 'Twins' Secret Realm together.

At the time, this news was quite explosive and even spread beyond the campus, making it directly onto the headlines of society's news.

It was immediately the hottest topic on many news platforms.

After all, the news of Lin Ye returning to the Human World from the Alternate Space was still trending, and almost everyone thought Lin Ye would at least take a break before becoming active again.

But unexpectedly, Lin Ye dove straight into the Secret Realm almost the day after his return to the Human World.

This truly shocked a lot of people.

One must know, being in an Alternate Space is virtually no different from being imprisoned. In fact, in prison, you might have some expectation of release once the sentence is over.

At worst, death could be considered a form of transcendence.

But within an Alternate Space, it's another story. For the vast majority, once you step into it, time loses its meaning.

Your body and soul are essentially doomed to endure endless torment in this chaotic space.

According to the Abyssal Demons, dying in an Alternate Space means the soul will endlessly wander there, unable to return to the Abyssal Origin for rest.

Therefore, banishment to an Alternate Space is regarded by the demons of the Abyss as the most terrifying punishment.

Because death is merely a return to the Abyssal Origin.

But within an Alternate Space, even a complete 'death' is stripped away, and your soul is left to endlessly wander this infinite chaotic space, enduring endless emptiness and torment, forever.

Similarly, if a human dies in an Alternate Space, the outcome is likely similar.

Hence, an Alternate Space is an absolute taboo in the Human World, a Forbidden Land not to be stepped into.

And Lin Ye endured over three years of torment in such a ghastly place, yet the next day, he entered the Secret Realm as if nothing had happened, to level up.

This spirit of perseverance truly moved many people.

Many Professionals were awed by this, profoundly admiring Lin Ye.

Even those who were biased against Lin Ye, who thought he was an unworthy lucky person built by resources, fell silent at this moment.

This is why Lin Ye's entry into the Secret Realm spread so widely and was so hotly discussed.

But several days passed, and the heat of Lin Ye entering the Secret Realm declined significantly.

Now, the news platforms had gone through several rounds of updates.

The so-called hot topics are just like that.

But now, the news of Lin Ye clearing the Secret Realm reignited the heat!

"Damn... did he really conquer that Secret Realm?"

"Isn't this Secret Realm a generational challenge of our school?"

"Only Lin Ye could do it; someone else wouldn't be able to complete the task."

"This guy endured over three years of torment in an Alternate Space, and upon returning, he cleared an old enigmatic Secret Realm..."

"His strength, I'm utterly convinced..."

The campus of Shangjing University was completely erupting.

If another outsider had conquered the secret realm exclusive to Shangjing University, they might have felt frustrated.

After all, that was Shangjing University's exclusive Secret Realm, and if an outsider conquered it, how could these proud prodigies swallow that?

But now, the one who conquered the Secret Realm was Lin Ye!

That changed everything, making many people at Shangjing University feel honored!

At this time, in the principal's office, An Zhiyuan put down a document in his hand and looked up in surprise.

As the principal, he was well aware of how challenging it was to conquer the 'Twins' Secret Realm.

In fact, during his student days, he had tried various methods to crack this Secret Realm, and even when he started teaching, he would arrange for some outstanding students annually to try and conquer it.

But all these attempts ended in failure.

So he confessed that compared to anyone else, he knew how incredibly tough this Secret Realm was to conquer!

In some ways, seeing this Secret Realm conquered had become one of his heart's desires.

Fortunately, he finally witnessed this miracle personally...

As for whether the main person who conquered this Secret Realm was from Shangjing University, it didn't matter much.

If he were so narrow-minded, he couldn't nurture so many outstanding talents. In his view, as long as the person who conquered the Secret Realm had proper conduct, it was enough.

After all, they were all human Professionals, and there wasn't much of a difference in superiority.

In fact, during his tenure, the applications from students at other institutions to challenge Shangjing University's exclusive Secret Realm were generally quite lenient.

As long as their combat power was up to standard, they usually wouldn't be rejected.

Even for those whose combat power wasn't sufficient, there would be considerate guidance on how to improve before they apply again.

An Zhiyuan was executing the tenet of 'teaching without discrimination.'

Seeing Lin Ye successfully conquer this Secret Realm, his excitement was beyond words.

"Secretary Wang!"

He looked up and said directly.

"Apply for the top-level Outstanding Student Award from the Alliance for Lin Ye! Moreover, if he agrees, I hope to list him among our school's outstanding alumni!"

An Zhiyuan said excitedly.

"This…" Secretary Wang was somewhat stunned, hesitantly saying, "The rest is fine, but the spots for top-level Outstanding Student Awards from the Alliance are limited..."

Secretary Wang's meaning was clear, that the spot was very precious. Even strong as Shangjing Academy, only three spots could be applied for in a year.

If Lin Ye is nominated, it would solve his student identity, but then only two spots remain for original Shangjing University students?

"No worries, just add Lin Ye's name for the application. Whether it's approved or not is up to the Alliance! If the Alliance doesn't approve it, I'll cover the reward myself!" An Zhiyuan waved his hand indifferently.

Secretary Wang's mouth twitched slightly…

Truly reckless, but what can you do?

Throughout the Alliance, almost every critical department has Principal An's students in it.

An Zhiyuan indeed had the luxury of being so reckless.
