Ren Jun did not take Xu Tianyi to the academy's infirmary, as it could only handle minor injuries.
Although Xu Tianyi's injuries were not fatal, he had quite a few wounds on his body.
If they weren't treated properly, it might delay his cultivation.
So Ren Jun directly found a Spirit Saint-level healing Spirit Master in the academy.
With him there, Xu Tianyi's injuries would quickly heal. Standing outside the room, Kong Xuan could also feel a powerful life force permeating the air.
Evidently, the treatment had begun.
Ren Jun also stood at the doorway, his gaze at Kong Xuan filled with complex emotions.
Joy, surprise, jealousy, admiration—.
In a short time, his eyes changed emotions like a palette.
Born in Shrek Academy, he had seen countless geniuses.
But the young man before him, even after he had witnessed his strength as he wished, still felt a sense of unreality.
Noticing Ren Jun's gaze, Kong Xuan looked up and met his eyes.
"Kong Xuan."
Ren Jun slowly spoke, his voice deeper than usual: "Your performance today…"
He paused, seemingly deliberating his words, "exceeded my expectations."
The setting sun outside the window cast a golden hue on Kong Xuan's face through the glass.
His expression was calm, as if the victory that had shaken the entire arena was merely an effortless feat.
"The opponent underestimated me," Kong Xuan also showed a hint of a smile: "If he had gone all out from the start, he wouldn't have lost so quickly."
Ren Jun couldn't help but chuckle.
Wouldn't have lost so quickly?
In other words, even if Xu Tianyang had gone all out from the beginning, Kong Xuan still believed he could win?
He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and did not pursue that possible answer further.
He changed the topic, sighing with emotion: "For someone your age to have already mastered Spear Intent, you are truly unprecedented!"
"In my impression, even Elder Mu, the current Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion in Shrek Academy, had not mastered 'Intent' at your age."
Facing Ren Jun's praise, Kong Xuan accepted it gracefully.
Because Yun Ming, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion ten thousand years later, had not mastered Spear Intent at his age either.
This had been confirmed by his teacher, Yun Ming!
"Teacher, if you praise me so much, I might get arrogant."
"There's nothing wrong with being arrogant, because you have the right to be."
Ren Jun had never imagined before that he would sincerely say such a thing to a Sun Moon Empire student.
After a few simple sentences, Ren Jun finally asked his ultimate question.
"I didn't quite understand your last Sky Prohibition. It's not a Spirit Ability, nor should it be a Spirit Bone ability, and it's certainly not an effect of your Spear Intent."
"That is a Domain inherent to my Spirit."
Kong Xuan's answer was brief and direct, seemingly not intending to explain much.
Ren Jun's eyes suddenly narrowed upon hearing this; he hadn't even dared to think in that direction.
There are many types of Spirit Abilities, but Domain Abilities are what all Spirit Masters constantly dream of.
A Domain inherent to his Spirit—his evaluation of Kong Xuan's Spirit, and of Kong Xuan himself, once again rose to a new level.
Ren Jun was silent for a moment, ultimately just nodding.
This teacher, who was also a genius, now felt deeply struck in front of his student, Kong Xuan, even beginning to doubt his own talent.
Just then, the door silently slid open, and the life aura that had been emanating moments ago abruptly ceased.
Xu Tianyi walked out, leaning on the doorframe. All his wounds had now healed, but he appeared somewhat weak due to excessive blood loss.
Ren Jun looked at him and instructed: "Do not cultivate for two days. Rest well."
Xu Tianyi had originally thought the competition with his brother was his own business, but today, Kong Xuan had been dragged into it.
Today's defeat was a lesson for him, but it was also enough to make him change as a result.
Even for the sake of those around him, he felt that sometimes he truly couldn't act on his own will.
Watching Xu Tianyi nod seriously, Ren Jun felt slightly relieved: "Then you two can go back directly. Remember, if you encounter any difficult situations in the academy, come straight to me!"
Watching Ren Jun's retreating figure, Kong Xuan and Xu Tianyi then walked out.
The lingering glow of the setting sun draped a golden-red veil over the academy. The fiery clouds on the horizon were tinged with red, while a crescent moon had already risen in the sky on the other side. Night was quickly descending.
Seeing Xu Tianyi's light steps, it seemed he was mostly fine.
It was just that he had dark skin, so his complexion looked mostly normal, except for his slightly pale lips.
Kong Xuan chuckled: "How does it feel to be treated by a Spirit Saint?"
Xu Tianyi seemed not to catch the teasing in his tone, and instead replied earnestly: "It feels great, warm all over, and then the wounds healed so quickly…"
Kong Xuan interrupted his narration of his treatment process: "It seems you enjoyed it quite a lot. Next time you encounter your brother, are you still planning to fight to the death like that?"
Xu Tianyi fell silent at this, stopped walking, and turned to Kong Xuan with a smile: "It seems this incident will give you plenty to mock me about for a long time."
Kong Xuan raised an eyebrow, surprised that Xu Tianyi would actually crack a joke.
He could clearly feel Xu Tianyi's change, knowing that he probably wouldn't have to worry anymore in the future.
However, he was still sharp-tongued: "Naturally. Who told a certain fellow to foolishly go head-to-head with someone?"
Xu Tianyi didn't get angry at this; he continued walking forward, his voice carried by the evening breeze into Kong Xuan's ears: "It won't happen again!"
The two walked side by side, the last rays of the setting sun stretching their shadows long.
They walked towards darkness, but would ultimately embrace light.

Kong Xuan, the class president of the Soul Master Class, fiercely protected his own, defeating a four-ring Spirit Ancestor in an advanced-level battle.
After a day of fermentation, this matter had spread throughout the academy.
Kong Xuan was now undoubtedly the academy's "top star."
Walking through the academy, he could always sense the gazes from around him.
Even during class, many people would come to "visit."
To be honest, Kong Xuan really didn't like this feeling.
Fortunately, this situation didn't last too long. A few days later, the hype died down, and his life gradually returned to normal.
"Hello, classmate!"
Outside the classroom, a clear voice reached Xu Wei's ears.
He involuntarily turned around and then saw a slender girl standing behind him.
She was more than a head taller than Xu Wei, with striking wine-red hair that reached her waist, the ends slightly curled.
Her ice-blue eyes were clear yet held a hint of aloofness, and her skin was so fair it was almost translucent. She looked as if carved from ice and snow. The two were only a step apart, and looking at the exquisite beautiful girl opposite him, Xu Wei's face couldn't help but flush.
Usually boisterous, he now seemed to stumble over his words.
"H-hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
Xu Wei unconsciously straightened up a bit, puffing out his chest, as if this could make him appear taller.
"Can you help me call Kong Xuan from your class?"
Her next sentence, however, filled Xu Wei with disappointment; she wasn't looking for him after all.
Recently, quite a few people had come to the class looking for Kong Xuan, but most of them would only look from the doorway or window.
Xu Wei had never encountered anyone directly asking for him before.
"Wait a moment, I'll go call Brother Xuan!"
Facing such a beautiful girl, even in the World of Spirit Masters, few people would directly refuse.
