"I want to talk to Zhang Lingfeng alone."

The bald man said.

"Yes."

Kuxuan River left Zhang Lingfeng inside the RV, departing respectfully.

A blue light formed a palm seal on the bald man’s body, heading towards Zhang Lingfeng. Zhang Lingfeng was startled, reflexively releasing his Divine Thought to form another palm seal, blocking the bald man’s seal as if the two were exchanging punches.

"You really are a Divine Thought Master."

The bald man said with a face full of surprise.

"The dean is testing me."

Zhang Lingfeng chuckled sheepishly.

"If Hou Lao San knew you were a Divine Thought Master, he would certainly try every means, even at all costs, to kill you; slaying you would be a significant accomplishment."

The bald man laughed.

"Ah... The dean’s words make me feel cold."

Zhang Lingfeng looked tense.

"Feeling cold is just right. Human resources are lacking; whether in the Great Xia Kingdom or the Divine Bull Country, every nation, even every place, has people betraying humanity for cultivation resources or living subsidies, becoming alien race traitors. Even in the Academy, there have been traitors, and not of low status."

The bald man reminded.

"The dean doesn’t seem to be one."

Zhang Lingfeng forced a smile.

"Of course I’m not; if I were, I’d have torn you to shreds long ago."

The bald man carefully observed Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng was puzzled internally and asked, "How did you discover I am a Divine Thought Master?"

As the Sect Leader of the Divine Sect, Jiang Nan was not only a Divine Thought Master but a powerful Great Divine Thought Master, even Jiang Nan couldn’t see through him, so how could the bald man?

"This string of Buddhist beads in my hand is carved from the bones of a Super Divine Mind Master, a magical artifact that can easily capture Divine Thought fluctuations. The moment you saw me, there were faint fluctuations in your Divine Thought, which you could hide from my eyes, but not from this string of beads in my hand."

The bald man said.

Zhang Lingfeng recalled the scene when he first saw the blue light on the bald man’s body, perhaps it was just at that moment.

"Divine Thought Master, Great Divine Thought Master, Super Divine Mind Master, are these the three different domains of a Divine Thought Master?"

Zhang Lingfeng couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, you have successfully condensed Divine Thought but have not yet evolved it. A true Divine Thought can not only break the balance of human body power, allowing discovery of subtle power, but also change the power form of others, even affecting their Origin Power performance."

The bald man said.

"Oh, could it be that Gu Xiaohui stopped me from acquiring Water Source Power not with a stronger Heaven and Earth Harmony Index but with the telekinesis of a Divine Thought Master, but..."

Zhang Lingfeng frowned.

Feeling somewhat unbelievable.

"Preventing others from acquiring and using Origin Power through telekinesis is essentially the same principle as breaking others’ power balance. Crushing the opponent with a powerful Harmony Index directly deprives the opponent of Origin Power, but they are two different matters.

After evolving Divine Thought, one can not only identify the balance nodes of the body’s internal power but can also find the weaknesses in the power of Heaven and Earth, including Origin Power among them.

Therefore, if you become a Great Divine Thought Master, you can not only easily break others’ power balance, but also directly kill the enemy through backlash from external forces."

The bald man said.

"Then if the opponent’s Heaven and Earth Harmony Index is very high, like one hundred percent, can a Great Divine Thought Master still break their power balance?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked curiously.

"A one hundred percent Heaven and Earth Harmony Index means Five Elements Origin Perfection, power without a single flaw, and no problem with balance nodes. Such a person is very likely to achieve Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, an extremely rare existence. Looking across the entire Basic Star Realm, there aren’t many of them. Not to mention a Great Divine Thought Master, even a Super Divine Mind Master’s telekinesis can’t break their power balance.

However, everything has its counter; just because a Super Divine Mind Master’s telekinesis can’t do it, doesn’t mean powers beyond super can’t do it."

The bald man said seriously.

"Beyond super?"

Zhang Lingfeng looked shocked.

"Advanced cultivation content requires experts from the Star Gate to answer for you. I came to Jiangbei mainly for your safety, to deliver you into the hands of Star Gate experts."

The bald man smiled.

"You must have cultivated at the Star Gate too!"

Zhang Lingfeng wanted to seize the opportunity to learn about the Star Gate from the dean’s mouth.

"No."

The bald man shook his head.

"You are the dean of the Academy; your level shouldn’t be inferior to the Martial Hall Master!"

Zhang Lingfeng looked puzzled.

"Our talents are about the same. Qin Cangqiong is much younger than me. I’ve gone through the Great Crossing River Era and offended Star Gate experts, so I can’t go to the Star Gate."

The bald man sighed.

"This... Can you tell me what happened?"

Zhang Lingfeng was very curious.

"Back then, I followed Young Master Fu into the depths of the ocean. He was famous from a young age and naturally quite arrogant. When encountering danger, I successfully escaped while he got trapped in the depths until the past two days before he regained freedom."

The dean touched his smooth head and smiled helplessly.

"Did the Fu Family blame you?"

Zhang Lingfeng ventured. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"If not for the balance of the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, you might not have seen me."

The dean laughed.

"Would the Fu Family kill you?"

Zhang Lingfeng looked astonished.

"Don’t think of cultivators as inherently good, especially those with unfathomable strength. Over time, they’ve become accustomed to life and death, seeing human lives as insignificant. Even the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance can’t cover everything."

The dean said sincerely.

Zhang Lingfeng seemed thoughtful.

He had long known the harshness of reality. Although his demeanor seemed jovial, he was cautious with everyone.

Fortunately, along the way, he had numerous ties of interest with most people, so his actions were related to many people’s resource subsidies, and most hoped for his improvement.
