Chapter 0654: Advanced Restriction Scroll

In just over an hour, at Yellow Dragon’s speed, he had time to read numerous books on the history of Hengyuan. What frustrated him, however, was that due to the great distance in time, there were very few records of the Four Seas Empire, leaving him unable to determine the reasons for its downfall. As for whether the descendants of the Huang family continued to exist after the empire’s fall and where they were now, that was even more unknown.
But Yellow Dragon wasn’t in a hurry. He believed he would find the answers after reading all the books on Hengyuan’s history in the bookshelf. Since the Divine Wind Academy was renowned as the institution with the longest history of Hengyuan, it should have the most comprehensive collection of books. If he couldn’t find it there, it would be even harder at other academies.
At this moment, Ip, who had been lying on the ground like a dead dog, slowly regained consciousness. When he woke up, his mind wasn’t clear at first. But as he gradually remembered what had happened earlier, his expression grew increasingly grim, his body began to tremble, and his eyes reflected growing terror.
He raised his eyes and saw the dark-haired young man still searching for books not far away. Seeing him, Ip’s heart seized with fear. He tried to struggle to get up, but as he tried, intense pain spread throughout his body, forcing him to groan. His body ached terribly, yet it felt as though it no longer belonged to him—he couldn’t control it!
Then, Ip noticed five guards from the Luo Ha family, also lying unconscious about ten meters away. These five guards had been sent by their family to protect him. He knew their strengths well, but now?!
“Binn!” Ip shouted desperately at the strongest guard, who was at the peak of level 9, trying to wake him up. But no matter how hard he called, the guard remained motionless. The more he called, the more his voice trembled.
Even though he was a direct descendant of the Luo Ha family, the foremost family of the Tanghai Empire! If he still didn’t recognize their status at this point, then all his years of life had been in vain.
A Saint Domain powerhouse! Saint Domain powerhouses weren’t scary in themselves, but what was terrifying was their age!
At that moment, Yellow Dragon raised his head and glanced over. Frowning, Ip stiffened at Yellow Dragon’s cold gaze. He stopped speaking, slowly turning his head. When their eyes met, he panicked and backed away, using his hands to push himself up, ignoring the injuries in his body.
“P-precursor, I… I’m not, I!” Ip stammered in a trembling voice, his face filled with tears he couldn’t shed.

It looked as miserable as it could be—no trace left of the handsome and dashing man he used to be in front of Panna.
“You’re not him?” Huang Long said indifferently.
“I—I didn’t mean to!” Eip hurriedly exclaimed in panic, nodding his head frantically, referring to the act of attacking Huang Long from behind out of anger back then.
Huang Long understood and shook his head, ignoring his excuses as he continued searching for books.
Seeing that Huang Long wasn’t paying attention to him, Eip grew even more anxious. He wanted to speak up again to plead for mercy, but feared disturbing Huang Long while he “searched for books,” so he didn’t know what to do next.
Huang Long continued “searching for books,” while the library was surrounded layer after layer by people.
The noise was deafening—chaotic.
Students from every corner of Shinfeng Academy gathered outside, arguing loudly. Upon arriving at the library, they tried to go up to the second floor but were repelled by an invisible force. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t move forward. Even the library guards couldn’t break through.
To prevent others from disturbing him, Huang Long casually set up a formation to protect the second floor of the library.
Although this formation was set up casually by Huang Long, even powerful gods would find it hard to break through, let alone ordinary people!
Just as the students were arguing endlessly about this strange phenomenon, a sound of something breaking through the air came from afar.
“It’s the Advanced Enforcement Team!”
Someone shouted in shock. Instantly, everyone was startled and looked toward the distant sky.
“It really is the Advanced Enforcement Team—and they’re all here!” The students were filled with awe, admiration, and fervor.
After graduating from Shinfeng Academy, the top ten students with excellent grades could choose to stay and train harder under the guidance of the school’s leadership. Once they reached the late ninth level of strength, they could join the academy’s Advanced Enforcement Team.
This had always been the goal that all students at Shinfeng Academy strived for!
It could be said that joining the academy’s Advanced Enforcement Team was a honor, a longing, and a dream for every batch of students!
To some extent, the Advanced Enforcement Team of Shinfeng Academy represented the academy itself!
However, the team rarely went on missions, let alone all at once!
In nearly a hundred years, there had only been one instance when the entire team was deployed—seventy or eighty years ago, when a powerful being from the Holy Land came to cause trouble at Shinfeng Academy.
Who would have thought that after so many years, the Advanced Enforcement Team would be deployed again in full force!
The students immediately became excited and agitated.

“That’s… it seems to be Vice Dean Yuan Han!” Amidst the excitement of the crowd, someone suddenly shouted loudly, pointing at the middle-aged man flying at the front of the elite enforcement team. Although Yuan Han was highly renowned at Divine Wind Academy, he rarely appeared before the students, so few of them recognized him. Coupled with everyone’s attention being drawn to the elite enforcement team earlier, they failed to notice him at first. “It really is Vice Dean Yuan Han!” More and more people recognized him now. The already excited students became even more thrilled—they never expected even Vice Dean Yuan Han to be there! “This is going to be interesting!” “I heard that Vice Dean Yuan Han was already a top warrior in the Holy Realm decades ago. I wonder if he’s advanced to the Divine Realm over the years.” “I think Vice Dean Yuan Han has already achieved that!” “So what if he’s a Holy Realm warrior? If he dares to act recklessly in our academy, Vice Dean Yuan Han will just slap him to death!” For a while, the students discussed eagerly, filled with joy and enthusiasm. As they talked and grew excited, Yuan Han, along with the elite enforcement team, finally arrived before them. “We greet Dean Yuan Han!” The four library administrators had already been waiting there. As soon as Yuan Han arrived, they stepped forward with respectful expressions. Faced with Yuan Han leading the elite enforcement team, the four were nervous, surprised, and somewhat panicked. They hadn’t even known that someone had entered the second floor of the library and injured an inner academy student. If Yuan Han blamed them, they would surely face severe punishment! At their greetings, Yuan Han snorted, glanced at their anxious faces, and sneered, “That person entered the second floor of the library, and you didn’t even notice?!” The four were shocked and terrified, not knowing how to respond. “Hmph, I’ll punish you for your dereliction of duty later!” Yuan Han said sternly. He knew the most important thing now was to capture that black-haired young man first; the four’s crimes could be dealt with later. The four turned pale, dared not argue, and could only respond respectfully before stepping aside. Yuan Han stood in midair, took a few steps forward, and looked at the crowded students around him, frowning. “What’s going on?” By then, the students had quieted down. One of the four library administrators quickly stepped forward and respectfully explained the situation. “Oh, there’s some invisible energy blocking the way? Can’t get in?!” Yuan Han was surprised after hearing this and looked up at the second floor of the library. “Yes, Dean Yuan Han!” the librarian replied, standing nervously aside.

Yuan Han pondered, his eyes flickering as he muttered to himself, “Could it be that the other party used a high-level restriction scroll?” He extended his spiritual sense and detected an inexplicable force flowing around the second floor of the library. However, there weren’t any rare treasures on the second floor—just some advanced combat techniques and magic. A Saint Domain powerhouse wouldn’t be interested in such things. Yet, not only did they stay on the second floor, but they also used a high-level restriction scroll! This wasteful use of a high-level restriction scroll made Yuan Han even more puzzled about their intentions. High-level restriction scrolls were extremely precious; some were even worth millions of gold coins! “Just a high-level restriction scroll? Do they really think this can stop us from capturing them?!” Yuan Han sneered before adding, “Wan Quan, take your men and break this restriction!” It was just a high-level restriction scroll—there was no need for him to intervene. “Yes, Dean Yuan Han!” A young man stepped forward from among Yuan Han’s elite enforcement team, responding respectfully. This young man was one of the three squad leaders of the elite enforcement team, the strongest among them, having reached the peak of level nine and was just a step away from entering the Saint Domain. After bowing respectfully, Wan Quan led a hundred men out. These hundred men were members of his squad. Once they stepped forward, Wan Quan shouted firmly, his eyes fierce, “Attack!” Instantly, his half-Saint aura surged, and he threw his palm forward with all his strength at the second floor of the library. A fiery combat aura swept through the air, and the scorching heat wave forced the students around to retreat in panic. Then, the other members also attacked simultaneously. Combat auras and magic from various elements poured down in overwhelming force, so intense that even beginners in the Saint Domain had to back away. Seeing this, Yuan Han nodded in satisfaction. Boom! Finally, the relentless attacks struck the second floor of the library. Waves of energy rippled outward, and the intense light made everyone around cover their eyes. After a while, the light faded, and they couldn’t help but look. Suddenly, they were stunned, and Yuan Han’s expression darkened. Under that attack, not a single change had occurred on the second floor of the library—the powerful strike seemed to have vanished into the sea. The faces of the elite enforcement team members who had just attacked turned even darker. Their confident strike had resulted in such a failure! They were the pride of the academy, and under such public scrutiny, they had lost face utterly.
