Chapter 135: Chapter 135
However, this had no impact on Adam.
The desolation of the Inkwood Academy actually played right into his hands.
In the massive academy, there was no one else besides him, which meant no one could interrupt his cultivation. It was quite a carefree situation.
Arriving at the academy, Adam sat by the desk near the windowsill, he brewed a pot of clear tea and poured himself a full cup. Days like this were quite leisurely.
Picking up a historical text from his desk, Adam was just about to begin the day’s tasks when he looked up toward the door, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Now, he had already stepped into the Proving the Dao realm, and his cultivation was so powerful that few in all of Silver Willow could compare. Coupled with his terrifying combat prowess that rivaled Deities, he was already an invincible existence in the Silver Willow dynasty.
Having stepped into Proving the Dao, his sensory abilities were even more tyrannical.
Within a radius of several miles, he could easily detect the slight trembling of every blade of grass and tree.
The main gate of the Inkwood Academy was only dozens of meters away. Just now, he had already sensed someone standing at the entrance.
Sure enough, under Adam’s gaze, the main doors slowly opened.
An old man with graying hair and an elegant, scholarly aura was walking toward the inner hall.
The moment Jasper stepped into the academy, he looked around and spotted Adam sitting by the windowsill.
A trace of joy flashed in his eyes as he quickly walked over.
Arriving before Adam, and before Adam could even speak, Jasper took the initiative, his tone exceptionally respectful.
"Senior, this one is Jasper. I have come by His Majesty’s decree to specifically report an important matter to Senior!"
Oswin! Adam’s eyes flashed with confusion, he wondered what important matter Oswin could possibly have to report to him.
"Oh? Tell me, what important matter does Oswin have that actually warrants a high-ranking second-grade official like you coming to report to a lowly Inkwood official like me?"
Jasper’s face was full of smiles. He glanced around, and only after confirming there was no one nearby did he lower his voice, his eyes full of solemnity.
"Senior, last night, three Mortal Supremes hunted Senior in the capital. Does Senior not wish to know who was behind this?"
Hearing Jasper mention the events of last night, Adam’s originally calm expression could not help but reveal a trace of sharpness.
He asked himself, he had always worked diligently in the Inkwood Academy and never offended anyone, he never expected someone would go to such great lengths and dispatch such a lineup just to eliminate him.
If he had not possessed a fair bit of capability, he probably would have lost his life at the hands of those three Mortal Supremes yesterday.
To Adam, yesterday’s matter was like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
He was no fool.
The events were highly suspicious, but he had not come up completely empty-handed.
For the other party to deploy such a lineup meant they must have had a profound understanding of his strength.
In other words, his strength had been exposed, and someone wanted to eliminate him.
In truth, Adam already had a suspect in mind regarding the hidden mastermind, but he lacked concrete evidence.
Looking at Jasper before him, the conjecture in Adam’s heart grew increasingly clear. Remaining calm, he asked.
"Oh? Could it be that you know the identities of those three from yesterday?"
"If you know, tell me quickly."
Hearing the resentment in Adam’s tone, a trace of joy flashed in Jasper’s eyes.
His purpose in coming to the Inkwood Academy today was to win over Adam.
If he could pull Adam into the Southern aristocratic clans’ camp, the South-Subduing King lineage would be nothing to fear.
Even if he could not completely win him over, he still had to expose the South-Subduing King’s involvement, thereby turning Adam and the South-Subduing King into mortal enemies.
Seeing Adam reveal such hatred toward those three Mortal Supremes, Jasper’s confidence in recruiting him increased by a few points.
"Senior, the three Mortal Supremes who hunted you yesterday were precisely the three ancestors of the current South-Subduing King lineage."
Hearing Jasper’s words, Adam did not feel much surprise.
Although yesterday’s battle ended as briefly as a flash of lightning, Adam was already intimately familiar with the strength of those three.
Given their strength, there were only a handful of factions in all of the Silver Willow dynasty with such a profound foundation.
The South-Subduing King lineage was one of these few, so naturally, they were among his suspects.
Although Jasper pointed out the true culprit was the South-Subduing King lineage, Adam did not entirely believe him.
He was no fool, he knew Jasper would not go out of his way to tell him the truth for no reason, and he could roughly guess the purpose of today’s visit.
A cold sneer appeared on Adam’s face, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. "Jasper, since you address me as Senior, you naturally know my capabilities."
"If there is even half a word of a lie in what you just said, even if you are Oswin’s confidant, if I want to take your life, absolutely no one in all of Silver Willow has the capability to stop me."
Having said that, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Adam’s body and suppressed Jasper to the side.
Jasper, who originally had a face full of scholarly elegance, instantly flushed red upon feeling this powerful aura.
It was as if his body were bearing the weight of a thousand mountains.
A trace of horror flashed through Jasper’s eyes, and turbulent waves surged in his heart. He knew Adam’s strength was unfathomable, but he never expected that a mere wisp of this person’s aura could be terrifying to this extent.
He could tell that Adam was already restraining his aura to the utmost and had no intention of hurting him.
Otherwise, if Adam were to release his aura at full strength, he feared his soul would be completely obliterated in an instant.
Feeling the oppressive pressure on his body dissipate, Jasper felt as if he had just survived a disaster, he gasped heavily for air, his back already drenched in cold sweat.
