What I said before was correct, Professor Ah Kai indeed showed great respect.
And the Benevolence Institute is indeed easy to find.
The spire stands like a cone with a towering do, although talents are withered, the Benevolence Institute still occupies one of the most magnificent buildings in the entire Academy Region.
Of course, compared to the lofty and isolated barrier of the Divine Ashes Institute, this place looks much more approachable.
The massive brown structure reveals no signs of Transcendent setups at all.
Only the polished stones on the walls, bearing marks of ti, still reflect the dazzling morning light, as if proclaiming forr glory.
And this is where the sorrow lies; evidently, even this glory now attracts little interest.
This is also why it’s said that Professor Ah Kai is so gracious.
At a glance, the vast area seems disturbingly deserted, with only a few scattered children lingering around.
Among them, Professor Ah Kai’s presence is exceedingly notable.
Clearly, his academic deanor isn’t very proactive.
Though the morning light is still early, the Transcendent students and faculty, who inherently don’t need much sleep, have already begun their day’s progress.
Yet, appearing around the sa age as Li Weixuan—what you’d expect from the new generation backbone of the Benevolence Institute—Ah Kai is still languidly asleep at this mont.
It matches the Benevolence Institute’s sunset elegance rather well.
Knock knock!
Reflecting on this, Fu Qian had already reached out to knock on the door in front of him.
Indeed, the claim that this fourth Academy institute is approachable isn’t exaggerated; on the way here, there wasn’t even a single person to ask for directions.
...
"Good morning, Professor Ah Kai."
The door opened almost imdiately, showing clearly that the absence of greetings didn’t an absence of awareness.
Without deliberately concealing it, Ah Kai, who sensed a possible visitor, swiftly completed the actions of getting up and tidying himself.
And upon confirming that Fu Qian was indeed headed here, he opened the door quickly without concealing his surprise.
"Good morning, Professor Fu, please co in. Sorry that the place is a bit ssy."
Politely inviting him in, Brother Ah Kai apologized verbally, but his face showed no embarrassnt.
It is a bit ssy indeed.
Nodding slightly, Fu Qian observed his surroundings fluently while proceeding inside.
The room, exquisite, quiet, and solemn, matched the style of this building; not far off, a colorful window composed of different colored squares.
And the radiant morning light streaming through it illuminated piles of books and papers.
Manuscripts with various patterns scattered ssily within sight.
Professor Ah Kai was just sleeping soundly within such an embrace.
From this angle, the critique of his unenergetic academic attitude seems to have wronged him, clearly it was exhausting overnight research causing brief rest.
Even these research paraphernalia could be called one of the most scholarly of the four institutes.
But it’s just at first glance.
"Professor Ah Kai’s style is enviable."
The next mont, Fu Qian didn’t flatter back, but genuinely followed up on the other’s self-deprecating evaluation.
The reason is simple: although the room is full of manuscripts, there isn’t a single pen.
Either Professor Ah Kai possesses laser engraving authority, or none of these are his recent works, and may not even be his works.
This person seems to be encountering so challenges academically.
"Uh... There’s really nothing new, looking at these is like already redeed lotto tickets, correct but unengaging."
The comnt from a newly advanced Demigod of the Academy, clearly caught Professor Ah Kai by surprise, seemingly not expecting the other to communicate so sincerely.
And with a slightly puzzled assessnt, he finally stopped pretending, rubbing his face and candidly acknowledging the predicant.
...
Is that really the case? Miracles only favor once.
Redeed lottery tickets are indeed an apt taphor.
Although simply stated, combined with an understanding of the Benevolence Institute’s core philosophy, it’s easy to empathize with Professor Ah Kai’s feelings.
Back on Ye Island, this issue was actually already discussed.
That is, regarding the miracles that the Benevolence Institute studies, if a student can perfectly replicate a teacher’s rituals and spells, is it possible to replicate the effect as well?
The answer is affirmative; in a sense, miracles are like true knowledge, anyone who masters it can use it—but only the first discoverer can receive the Transcendent enhancent feedback.
The greatest problem for a miracle worker is that "learned" knowledge cannot elevate one’s ranking.
One must explore new miracles in the secrecy and legends, these things akin to the world’s operational code, to attain advancent.
And that ans not only standing on the giants’ shoulders, but also surpassing them.
However, that’s easier said than done, for a group with strict entry requirents, however niche, there’s never a shortage of brilliant and gifted individuals.
Through the years, finding untouched treasures of theirs is far from being rewarding just by effort anymore.
Becoming an obscure discipline is really within reason, haven’t you noticed even academy ntors are baffled?
"Completely understood."
Without offering aningless comfort, Fu Qian nodded, maintaining an honest posture.
"Actually, the reason I’m here this ti is because I encountered sothing quite special during a field investigation, and I’d like to see if Professor Ah Kai can help interpret it."
...
Ah?
In that instant, Ah Kai’s face showed unabashed delight.
Regarding this newly advanced Demigod of Heaven’s Comncent Institute, his knowledge was not much.
But regarding the visions of a Transcendent whose rank is unknown and movents mysterious, he felt a discovery worth the anticipation.
"Please speak, Professor Fu, I will do my utmost."
The slight doubts from earlier vanished; Ah Kai had no intention to modestly decline, fearing the other might leave.
"Was it so miraculous Transcendent manifestation you encountered during the field research?"
Quickly clearing a space to invite Fu Qian to sit, he eagerly probed for details.
In any field, positive feedback is key.
If every classic to read increased so attribute at the perceptible level, there would surely be more avid readers than there are now.
"I’m not sure if it falls within the realm of miracles, but clearly it wasn’t simply a Transcendent power unleashing, it even seed to exhibit so biological traits."
Considering Professor Ah Kai’s change in deanor, Fu Qian, without beating around the bush, directly expressed his findings.
"Its nature is pure, even a form of intelligence."
"Additionally, although its own ranking is not very high, in so respects, it possesses control similar to Authority Level."
