Respectful greetings rose one after another as students stopped in their tracks, bowing to the formidable Centurion.
However, their gazes, though respectful, were drawn more to the unfamiliar young man standing beside Blood Blade.
Head Instructor Blood Blade was personally escorting a student to the Time Tower?
It was absolutely unprecedented.
What made everyone's jaws drop was that they actually caught an extremely faint trace of… a smile… on the Head Instructor's perpetually icy face?
"Who's that? The Head Instructor is actually escorting him personally?"
"Never seen him before. Is he new?"
"Making the Head Instructor smile… My god, am I seeing things?"
"He must be from a powerful background! I wonder which advanced civilization's peerless genius he is?"
Whispers spread through the crowd as curious, surprised, and probing gazes focused on Li Wen like spotlights.
