"This is… seven-colored radiance!"
The elders within the West Courtyard were shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief. They understood all too well what seven-colored radiance signified.
"Perhaps only those with special physiques can trigger seven-colored light!"
The Ninth Elder spoke, "Could this child be of the legendary special physique? And possess exceptional talent, otherwise how could he have evoked seven-colored light!"
As the elders exclaimed in surprise, they noticed faint divine radiance surging around Lu Fan, their eyes filled with joy: "Ancient Divine Physique, this is a sign of a Divine Physique!"
Following this declaration, all the elders of Tongtian Academy arrived. Gazing at the divine radiance emanating from Lu Fan's body, they too revealed looks of astonishment.
Ancient Divine Physiques had long since vanished from the world. It was remembered that in ancient times, such Divine Physiques could cleave heaven and earth, even move mountains and overturn seas, being omnipotent. They became legendary ancient Great Emperors. But they never imagined that a Divine Physique would descend upon their Tongtian Academy.
"What is a Divine Physique?"
Shen Yehong asked with some curiosity, glancing towards Liuli. Liuli, skilled in divination, naturally knew more.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, many exceptionally talented individuals were born. Moreover, in that era, every special physique was a overlord of their domain!"
Liuli stated, "A special physique also signifies becoming an unparalleled mighty being in the future, even invincible among peers. No wonder he could fight against a Saint without having reached the Saint realm!"
"Are special physiques that powerful?" Shen Yehong looked surprised, having no prior concept of this. But from Liuli's words, he could grasp a general idea.
"If it were just a special physique, it wouldn't be much. What's truly terrifying is that he is an Ancient Divine Physique!"
Han Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "This is the king among many special physiques. With such a powerful physique, if cultivated diligently, he will surely become an ancient Great Emperor!"
"Ancient Great Emperor?"
Liuli and the others were bewildered. They didn't have much understanding of the ultimate realm, but from Han Xiaoxiao's expression, they could tell how powerful an ancient Great Emperor was.
Lu Fan withdrew his spiritual energy and then looked towards the Ninth Elder, "Elder, did I pass this test?"
"You passed, of course you passed!"
The Ninth Elder quickly asked, "Who are you? Do you have a family?"
"I have no family in the Spirit Realm!" Lu Fan replied with a shake of his head.
"That's even better!"
The Ninth Elder nodded slightly, his eyes filled with joy. If their Tongtian Academy poured all its resources into nurturing Lu Fan, it was likely that in not long, Lu Fan would lead Tongtian Academy to its peak.
An Ancient Divine Physique, what immense deterrence that was! It was likely that even many Sacred Lands would be moved by it.
"What's there to be so proud of!"
Lin Jiaojiao pouted, "So what if he's a special physique? If he were to fight me, wouldn't he have to surrender obediently!"
"Who said otherwise!"
Several men beside her nodded, "Senior Sister Lin is so strong, yet these old men didn't even treat her with such solemnity!"
"A special physique is not an ordinary person!"
Bai Yelong stated, "Since this kid is entering the West Courtyard, you all need to be careful. It's best not to provoke him easily."
"What, as the number one person in the West Courtyard, are you afraid of him?" Lin Jiaojiao casually remarked.
"I am not afraid of anyone, but there is no need for me to offend him," Bai Yelong said frankly. "Your horizons are too narrow, you still don't know the importance of a special physique. It's likely that in no time, he will become the trump card of Tongtian Academy!"
"If that's truly the case, then the elders are being too biased!" Lin Jiaojiao said dismissively.
After the West Courtyard test, Lu Fan and the others were arranged into the West Courtyard. At this time, within the West Courtyard, the elders were discussing amongst themselves, their eyes filled with joy.
"Ninth Elder, the appearance of a Divine Physique in Tongtian Academy is a great event!" The Seventh Elder spoke, "From now on, his safety will be your responsibility. Moreover, you must exhaust all resources to ensure his rapid growth. Only then can our Tongtian Academy ascend to greater heights in the future."
"I fear things are not as simple as they appear!"
The Ninth Elder shook his head, "This matter likely cannot be kept under wraps. News will spread soon, and by then, countless sects in the Eastern Domain will be coveting him!"
"So what!"
The Third Elder spoke, "He is a disciple of our Tongtian Academy. Is anyone going to openly snatch him away?"
"This is an Ancient Divine Physique. If those super sects truly intend to snatch him, what then?" The Ninth Elder stated directly, his expression turning grave.
"That's not a problem!" The Seventh Elder waved his hand, "If super sects truly come, it might not be a bad thing for him. The resources of super sects are far more abundant than those of Tongtian Academy. The cultivation path of an Ancient Divine Physique will surely be a smooth ascent!"
"I agree with the Seventh Elder," the Fifth Elder nodded. "We cannot limit his development. If he can go to a better place, it would be a good thing for him. Furthermore, if he becomes a mighty being in the future, he can also protect our Tongtian Academy."
The elders instantly reached a consensus, their eyes revealing joy.
Only the white-haired Dean remained silent, seemingly lost in thought, his brow furrowed.
"Dean, what is it?"
The Third Elder asked, "Why haven't you spoken? Are there any other concerns?"
"In ancient times, the appearance of Ancient Divine Physiques often led to bloodshed, and irreconcilable feuds with Sacred Lands and aristocratic families," the Dean stated. "If this matter reaches the ears of those Sacred Lands, they likely will not stand idly by. They will absolutely not permit the existence of an Ancient Divine Physique, as it poses a threat to their Sacred Lands!"
Upon the Dean's words, the elders present trembled. After this revelation, they instantly understood.
"According to the Dean's meaning, we should not have spread the news!"
The Third Elder frowned, "But it has already been done, what should we do?"
"Once Sacred Lands learn of a Divine Physique's existence, how could they possibly let him survive."
The Dean said with a wry smile, "It's a pity I wasn't at the academy today, otherwise I would have surely concealed it!"
"It's all my fault, I didn't think things through."
The Ninth Elder clasped his fists, his brow furrowed. Just as the Dean had said, this was indeed not something they could control. Once Sacred Lands took action, Tongtian Academy would be powerless to resist.
"I will personally go find him later!" the Dean declared directly. "I will tell him to leave Tongtian Academy, and simultaneously, not expose his identity. Only then can his life be saved!"
The elders present nodded, their hearts filled with helplessness. This was an Ancient Divine Physique, yet the road to his growth was still long.
