Peerless Taoist

Other than people like Chai Longxiang and Du Zhantian who had just entered the Divine Earth Secret Realm and had already displayed extraordinary strength, those who were qualified to enter the Divine Earth Secret Realm would usually only be chosen among the senior disciples.    

The levels of the disciples were divided according to the age limit of the disciples entering the academy, and they were also divided according to the true strength of the disciples.    

Even if someone entered the academy to cultivate for a few years, if they were not strong enough, they would still not be able to advance to the high-level disciple realm.    

Hence, in the Jade Cauldron Academy, the level of the disciples was the best standard to classify strength.    

Tian Boyan said this because Lu Yu was only a low rank disciple. There was no need for him to waste his energy to rescue Lu Yu.    

Li Si and the others frowned. They suddenly realized that Tian Boyan's attitude toward Lu Yu was a little strange.    

In fact, even if it took a lot of time to save Lu Yu, as the deputy dean of the academy, Tian Boyan should not hesitate to save Lu Yu.    

However, right now, Tian Boyan clearly didn't want to save Lu Yu.    

"Back then, the secret realm of the Divine Earth was on the verge of destruction. If it wasn't for Lu Yu drawing the Nine Tooth Battleship and saving countless lives, I'm afraid we would all be dead by now. Tian family's Yin, you have never experienced such a thing. It's best that you don't jump to conclusions. "    

Chai Longxiang unfolded a painting scroll.    

On the painting scroll, a huge warship was impressively drawn. It was mighty and majestic!    

Regardless of whether one understood the art of painting or not, just taking a glance at it would cause one to feel an unprecedented sense of shock.    

Not only was the scale of the warship grand, but every detail of the warship was accurately depicted. It was as if the warship had emerged from the picture scroll and jumped onto the paper.    

"The realm of painting, drawing a picture?"    

Many great Confucians exclaimed in surprise.    

Many of them had cultivated painting for many years, and with a single glance, they could tell that this painting had already reached an extremely high realm.    

This sort of method could only be used by people like Grandmasters of the Dao of Painting.    

Moreover, even if it was an imitation, it would be divided into two categories.    

For a painting of such a huge object that could still produce an image, it often required a very profound mental energy. It also required a high understanding of the art of painting to be able to produce it.    

"I never expected that our academy would actually receive a grandmaster painter!"    

"I can feel that the realm of the painter should be slightly higher than this old man's. If I can give a few pointers, this old man's painting realm will definitely have a new breakthrough!"    

"The leader of the Painter Alliance of the Imperial Capital has recently drawn a piece of work that he is proud of. However, from the looks of it, it is far inferior to this painting."    

Almost all the great Confucians present gave a very high evaluation of this painting.    

If it was any other young man who drew such a painting, they might not believe it.    

But Lu Yu was a disciple of the Literary Sage!    

This was enough.    

He had only studied for less than 50 years and had become a Grand Secretary in the Cabinet. He was at the top of the officials and ministers. In the hands of the Literary Sage, it was not surprising for any geniuses to appear.    

"Vice Principal, Lu Yu must be saved!"    

"Such a genius of the art, if anything were to happen to him in the secret realm of the Divine Earth, it would definitely be an irreparable loss for our Jade Cauldron Academy!"    

"Vice Principal, please lend a hand!"    

The scholars were all willing.    

If Li Si and the others were disciples, it would be better for them to be taciturn. However, all the Confucians insisted in unison. With this kind of power, even Tian Boyan, as the deputy dean, felt the pressure.    

However, Tian Boyan's expression did not change in the slightest. Instead, there was a hint of sadness on his face.    

"Don't tell me in your eyes, the life and death of a junior disciple is not as important as a senior disciple losing his soul?" Tian Boyan said coldly.
