90: Chapter 23 Divine Artifact, Eternal Substitute Puppet (Part Two) 90: Chapter 23 Divine Artifact, Eternal Substitute Puppet (Part Two) Fergerson continued, “Secondly, I hereby officially announce that Ye Yinzhu is not only a student of the Divine Music Department, but also my direct disciple.
The previous rise in his Magic Power from Red-rank to Yellow rank was due to the Magical products I gave him, which masked his true strength.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience burst into an uproar.
Many people thought it made sense now why Ye Yinzhu was so powerful—he was the Dean’s disciple.
At the same time, it resolved all their doubts about Ye Yinzhu’s rapid rise in strength.
Who would doubt Fergerson, the Dean of the Milan Magic Martial Academy and the Chief Court Mage of the Milan Empire?
“Thirdly, the Beastman Clan’s autumn grain raid is about to begin.
To better enhance the strength of our academy’s students, the academy will select a group of students to join the army and defend against foreign enemies together.
Of course, the academy will choose the most outstanding students from each department to participate in this real bat trial.
That’s it, the Freshman petition has e to an end.
Classes for all departments will officially start tomorrow, and I think you have all seen the strength of the two students in today’s battle.
If you want to bee as powerful as them, or even surpass them, you will have to put in even more effort.
I hope to see more outstanding talents emerge from our Milan Magic Martial Academy.”
With the announcement of these three matters, the Freshman petition came to a plete end, and the students’ studies would begin in earnest from tomorrow.
Without a doubt, the Divine Music Department became the biggest highlight of this year’s Freshman petition, surprising countless people.
From the first battle to the last, they maintained a solid performance and eventually won the championship.
As the main player from the Divine Music Department, Ye Yinzhu naturally became the most eye-catching figure among the new students.
He proved to everyone with his own strength that the Divine Music Master was not a useless profession.
“Yin Zhu, that Purple Bamboo Needle of yours is really sharp, managing to pierce through my dagger,” said Sura, reclining leisurely on his bed, toying with the Purple Bamboo Needle that had stopped him from killing Ma Liang, speaking with an air of ease.
It was already approaching evening, and after finally sending off all the well-wishers, the two of them could relax.
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “The Purple Bamboo Needle itself is extremely sharp and tough, and concentrating Douqi at one point naturally increases its penetrating power.
But your black dagger looked pretty good, why wasn’t it sturdy?
I was just trying to knock it away.”
Sura retorted annoyed, “I’m poor, what kind of good dagger could I have?
By the way, Yin Zhu, when did you bee the Dean’s disciple?
How e I didn’t know about it?”
Ye Yinzhu whispered, “Actually, it was only after the match with Nesta that I officially became the Dean’s disciple.
It’s just that the Dean said I’ve been his disciple for a while now to help conceal my rapid advancement in strength.” He felt that there was nothing he needed to hide from Sura.
The emotional display from Sura at the end of today’s match had made a deep impression on him, one he would never forget.
Apart from Zi, Ye Yinzhu already regarded Sura as his best friend.
With a laugh, Sura said, “It seems the Dean really likes you a lot.
So, about going to the front lines, will you be included?”
Ye Yinzhu replied, “I should be.
The teacher told me to get ready.
Sura, isn’t it a time of peace now?
But today, from what the teacher said, it sounds like we are going to war with the Beastmen?”
Rolling his eyes, Sura said, “Ye Yinzhu, you might as well call yourself Ye Idiot in the future.
There are so many mon sense things you don’t know.
The Beastman Clan lives in the harsh, cold Northernmost Wilderness, where they don’t practice agriculture at all, relying only on some of nature’s offerings to sustain themselves, or by trading specialty products from the Northernmost Wilderness with human kingdoms for food.
In the spring and summer, because plants are lush and animals are plentiful, their food supply is less problematic.
However, e winter, the Beastmen’s food supply bees incredibly strained.
So every autumn, the Beastmen send out their armies, doing everything they can to acquire food from the borders of the three human nations they border.
For them, this is called ‘harvesting autumn wind.’ The battles are generally not very large and are mostly local skirmishes.
Thus, every autumn, the Milan Empire, the Ascoli Kingdom, and the Flore Empire concentrate their forces on the borders to counter the Beastmen and minimize their own losses.
This leads to the border defense battles that we will soon participate in.”
“We?
Sura, are you going to participate too?” Ye Yinzhu asked in surprise.
Sura answered with a proud smile, “Although the Assassin Department wasn’t involved in the Freshman petition, during military campaigns, professions like ours are indispensable.
The scouts typically deployed by the army are just regular Light Cavalry.
Assassins like us are one of the most wele types of soldiers in the army.
A good assassin can bring a lot of useful information to an army, and might even assassinate the enemy’s leading officers.
As the boss of the freshman Assassin Department, shouldn’t I participate?”
“You’re the boss of the first-year assassin students?” Ye Yinzhu said, while the smile on the corner of his mouth grew even wider.
“What, can’t accept it?
I might not be able to beat you on the arena, but if we were in plex terrain, you wouldn’t necessarily be my match.” As he spoke, the dagger in his hand that had been pierced with a hole flickered with a green light.
Ye Yinzhu was startled, Green rank Douqi, and moreover, intermediate level.
Judging from the strength of the Douqi, Sura was actually above Nesta, something he had not expected at all.
“Sura, I damaged your dagger, so take this as pensation,” Ye Yinzhu said as he took something out of his chest and tossed it to Sura.
Sura caught it, and it was a human-shaped sculpture carved out of amethyst.
Strangely, the sculpture had no facial features, and it seemed unremarkable at first glance.
However, when Sura held it in his hands, he was surprised to find that the amethyst figure contained a very peculiar elemental fluctuation.
He couldn’t quite discern what it was.
“What is this?” Sura asked curiously.
Ye Yinzhu replied, “Granny Nina gave it to me this afternoon, said she won it from the Summoning Department.
It’s called an Eternal Substitute Puppet.
You just need to drip blood on it, and it will recognize you as its master.
Seems like it’s for protection.”
“What did you say?
Eternal Substitute Puppet?” Sura suddenly sat up from the bed, looking at Ye Yinzhu with a shocked expression.
“Yes, an Eternal Substitute Puppet, what about it?” Ye Yinzhu said naturally.
Sura’s voice trembled a bit, “Yin Zhu, do you know what an Eternal Substitute Puppet is for?”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head, “Not exactly.”
Sura’s expression became much more serious, “An Eternal Substitute Puppet is also known as an undying body, it’s a low-tier Divine Artifact.
It’s a Divine Artifact!”
“Oh.” Ye Yinzhu stretched his body and was not surprised by the word Divine Artifact.
“Hey, are you even listening to what I’m saying?” Sura was quite dissatisfied with Ye Yinzhu’s attitude.
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “A Divine Artifact is a Divine Artifact.
It’s yours now.”
