"Ha!"


    Just when Su Yuan was about to give up, a scolding sound suddenly echoed in his ears.


    In an instant, the oppressive force from the Dragon Bone suddenly dissipated. Su Yuan only felt his Sea of Consciousness relax, and he regained his clarity.


    But immediately after, Su Yuan''s mind went into a daze, and he almost stumbled and fell.


    This was the side effect of excessive spiritual power consumption.


    Su Yuan opened his eyes. Standing in front of him, though he didn''t know when he arrived, was a young man with sword-shaped eyebrows, star-like eyes, and a handsome face, with blue hair.


    At this moment, the blue-haired young man frowned and looked at Su Yuan with a serious expression.


    "Only at Star Apprentice Level, you actually dared to directly gaze at the Head of Demon Dragon!" the blue-haired young man scolded.


    Su Yuan didn''t mind the other party''s harsh tone. Instead, he said, "Thank you, Senior, for your help."


    Su Yuan knew very well that without the other''s help, in just a few more seconds, he would have been in big trouble today.


    Seeing Su Yuan''s attitude, the blue-haired young man''s expression softened a bit.


    After a slight pause, the blue-haired young man said to Su Yuan, "Direct gazing at the Head of Demon Dragon requires at least Bronze Level spiritual power and someone to assist by the side.


    Otherwise, once you get trapped and can''t pull out, at best, you might faint on the spot due to excessive spiritual power consumption; at worst, you''d be overdrawn and would need to lie down for ten days or half a month!


    Seeing you''re only at Star Apprentice Ninth Rank but still daring to do such a dangerously mysterious thing, it''s really... I don''t know how to describe you!


    Luckily, your spiritual talent seems decent, being able to withstand it for so long. A regular Star Apprentice would have collapsed already!"


    "Senior is right. It was my carelessness."


    After apologizing again, Su Yuan glanced sideways.


    Seeing Xiang Dingqian standing with his arms crossed and a mocking smile, Su Yuan''s eyes turned colder.


    The blue-haired young man also noticed Xiang Dingqian and asked, "Are you Xiang Dingqian?"


    Xiang Dingqian responded casually, "I am."


    The blue-haired young man glanced at Xiang Dingqian, then at Su Yuan, and seemed to guess something. He frowned slightly.


    However, he said nothing and spoke up, "My name is Qi Tian. Director Tan instructed me to pick you up."


    Qi Tian?


    Suz Yuan was slightly taken aback.


    Indeed, quite a bold name!


    Xiang Dingqian stepped forward, "Then I trouble you, Senior Qi."


    Qi Tian didn''t say more and turned to Su Yuan, "Are you also here for the special recruitment?"


    After Qi Tian left, Tan Songlin spoke to the others, "Wait a little longer. There''s one more hour before we begin."


    Saying this, he closed his eyes to rest.


    Su Yuan observed the other students in the clearing.


    Three men and two women, all extraordinary. From their realms, they were at least at Ninth Stage Limit.


    Among them, a young man with a cold face and yellow hair drew the most attention, even though he tried to suppress it. The strong Star Power fluctuation around him couldn''t be entirely concealed, clearly at the Bronze Level!


    Although Zhuang Xun also broke through to Bronze Level, it didn''t mean Bronze Level wasn''t significant.


    Those who reached the Bronze Level at this time had immense talent and significant opportunity.


    As time passed, another hour quickly went by.


    Since Su Yuan and Xiang Dingqian entered the forest, other recommended teachers had brought in three more people, including twin siblings and a somewhat thin boy.


    Now it was already 2 PM, and the assessment should have started, but Tan Songlin stood quietly without initiating anything.


    Seeing Tan Songlin occasionally glance outside, Su Yuan had a vague guess.


    Tan Songlin seemed to be waiting for someone, and Director Wang previously mentioned, this special recruitment seemed mainly for one person...


    As Su Yuan was pondering, two people suddenly walked in from a distance.


    Leading was a strikingly handsome young man with long hair, dressed in white, holding a folding fan, his demeanor refined, gentle as jade.


    Behind him was a petite girl.


    Silver short hair, ice-blue eyes, walking behind the long-haired man, emitting a chilly aura.


    As soon as the two appeared, they captivated everyone''s attention, their stunning looks and aura making them seem like they walked out of a painting, pleasing to the eyes.


    Su Yuan also looked at the silver-haired girl, but what attracted him was a faint, familiar yet strange aura from her.


    "She seems, different from us..."


    Staring at the silver-haired girl, Su Yuan frowned, pondering deeply.


    At this moment, sensing Su Yuan''s gaze, the silver-haired girl slightly raised her head towards him.


    Her ice-blue crystalline eyes were devoid of any emotion, resembling non-human entities.


    "She''s not human!" Su Yuan''s pupils contracted.


    Recalling the rumors about Demon Capital Academy, Su Yuan immediately realized this cold-looking girl was likely a Star Beast!


    The familiarity of her aura possibly came from his vast experience of hunting Star Beasts after his Awakening, making him more attuned to their presence.


    So, there are Star Beasts in this recruitment!


    Withdrawing his gaze, Su Yuan was deeply astonished.
