Chapter 889: I'm Breaking All Your Arms Today

The academy's overseers were all one-in-ten-thousand experts. They were not all disciples from previous batches, as some were actually the followers the elders had recruited during their trips outside.

These four were recruited as followers by Elder Shadowflash and were able to enter the academy as overseers. But like Xiang Shaoyun, they were merely regular overseers.
