"This is... seven-colored radiance!"
The elders in the West Courtyard were shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief. They knew very well what seven-colored radiance represented.
"Perhaps only those with special physiques can trigger seven-colored radiance!"
The Ninth Elder spoke, "Could this child be a legendary special physique? And possess exceptional talent, otherwise how could he evoke seven-colored radiance!"
As the elders exclaimed, they noticed a 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 the Tongtian Academy arrived. Gazing at the divine radiance emanating from Lu Fan's body, they all displayed expressions of astonishment.
The Ancient Divine Physique had long since disappeared from the world. It was remembered that in ancient times, such Divine Physiques could cleave the heavens and earth, even move mountains and overturn seas, becoming omnipotent and legendary Ancient Great Emperors. Yet, they never imagined that their Tongtian Academy would witness the descent of a Divine Physique.
"What is a Divine Physique?"
Shen Ye Hong asked with some surprise, looking towards Liu Li. Liu Li, who understood the art of 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 hegemon of their domain!"
Liu Li 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 Ye Hong looked astonished. He had no concept of this, but from Liu Li's words, he could grasp some understanding.
"If it were just a special physique, it wouldn't be much. The most terrifying thing is that he is actually an Ancient Divine Physique!"
Han Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "This is the king of all special physiques. With such a powerful physique, if nurtured carefully, he will undoubtedly become an Ancient Great Emperor!"
"Ancient Great Emperor?"
Liu Li and the others were bewildered. They didn't have much understanding of the ultimate realm of cultivation, but from Han Xiaoxiao's expression, they could infer how powerful an Ancient Great Emperor was.
Lu Fan withdrew his spiritual energy and then looked towards the Ninth Elder, "Elder, have I passed this test?"
"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 all the better!"
The Ninth Elder nodded slightly, his eyes filled with joy. If their Tongtian Academy were to pour all its resources into nurturing Lu Fan, it was expected that before long, Lu Fan would lead the Tongtian Academy to its peak.
An Ancient Divine Physique, what immense deterrence that was! It was likely that even many Holy Lands would be moved.
"What's there to be so smug about!"
Lin Jiaojiao cast a sideways glance, "So what if he's a special physique? If he fought me, wouldn't he have to obediently bow down and submit!"
"Who says otherwise!"
Several men beside her nodded, "Senior Sister Lin is so powerful, yet these old men didn't seem this solemn."
"A special physique is not an ordinary person!"
Bai Ye Long spoke, "This brat is entering the West Courtyard, so you all need to be careful. It's best not to provoke him lightly."
"What, as the number one person in the West Courtyard, are you afraid of him?" Lin Jiaojiao asked casually.
"I am not afraid of anyone, but there's no need for me to offend him," Bai Ye Long stated frankly. "Your horizons are too narrow, and you don't yet understand the importance of a special physique. It's likely that before long, he will become the ace 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 also assigned to the West Courtyard. At this moment, within the West Courtyard, the elders were discussing animatedly, their eyes filled with joy.
"Ninth Elder, the appearance of a Divine Physique in Tongtian Academy is a great occasion!" The Seventh Elder spoke, "From now on, his safety will be your responsibility, and you must exhaust all resources to ensure his rapid growth. Only then can our Tongtian Academy advance further in the future."
"I'm afraid things are not as simple as they seem!"
The Ninth Elder shook his head, "This matter probably cannot be kept under wraps. The 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, are people going to openly snatch him away?"
"This is an Ancient Divine Physique. If those super sects truly want to snatch him, what then?" The Ninth Elder stated directly, his expression becoming solemn.
"That is 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 powerful than those of Tongtian Academy, and the cultivation path of an Ancient Divine Physique will surely be smooth sailing!"
"I agree with the Seventh Elder," the Fifth Elder nodded. "We cannot restrict his development. If he can go to a better place, it will also be a good thing for him. Moreover, 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 their joy.
Only the white-haired Dean remained silent, seemingly lost in thought, his brows furrowed.
"Dean, what's wrong?"
The Third Elder asked, "Why are you so quiet? Are there any other concerns?"
"In ancient times, the appearance of Ancient Divine Physiques would lead to rivers of blood, and an irreconcilable feud with Holy Lands and aristocratic families," the Dean said. "If the Holy Lands learn of this matter, they will likely not let it go. They will never allow the existence of an Ancient Divine Physique, as it would be a threat to their Holy Lands!"
Upon the Dean's words, the elders present trembled. After this reminder, they instantly understood.
"According to the Dean's meaning, we should not spread the news!"
The Third Elder frowned, "But it has already been done, so what should we do?"
"If the Holy Lands learn of the existence of a Divine Physique, how could they possibly let him live?"
The Dean said with a wry smile, "It's a pity I wasn't at the academy today, otherwise I would have covered it up!"
"It's all my fault, I was not thoughtful enough."
The Ninth Elder clasped his fists and frowned. Just as the Dean said, this was indeed not something they could control. Once the Holy Lands acted, Tongtian Academy would not be able to resist.
"I will personally go to find him later!" The Dean said directly, "Let him leave Tongtian Academy, and at the same time, do 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, but alas, there was still a long way to go before he could truly grow.
