"If I said I only joined the academy to teach Tang Qiuling and Zhuo Lingfeng how to practice martial arts, would you believe me, Dean?" Chen Xuan asked, his face calm.
Wan Chongyue could tell that Chen Xuan had no intention of answering his deeper doubts. Teaching Tang Qiuling and Zhuo Lingfeng might be one of Chen Xuan's reasons, but it was certainly not the most important one. However, considering how diligently Chen Xuan had taught his students since arriving and the great service he had rendered to the academy, Wan Chongyue decided against pressing him further. As long as Chen Xuan continued to assist the academy, it mattered little whether he had ulterior motives.
Even in the worst-case scenario—if Chen Xuan truly intended to use the academy for some nefarious purpose—Wan Chongyue felt confident that he and Zhong Xu could join forces to stop him. While Chen Xuan’s effortless defeat of Liang had shocked the others, Wan Chongyue knew that a True Qi Realm expert at the fourth or fifth level could achieve the same. As for Chen Xuan’s display of condensing Qi into a dragon, it was more of a flashy, performative stunt than anything else. Therefore, based on Chen Xuan's age, performance, and the level of his opponent, Wan Chongyue deduced that Chen Xuan’s strength was equivalent to a fourth or fifth-level True Qi Realm Ancient Martial Artist. Since he was at the fifth level and Zhong Xu at the fourth, they would surely have the upper hand if they fought together.
