Chapter 296: Fifteen Stars, Entering the Martial Dao Tower Again!

Inside the principal's office.

Zhao Tianxing and Li Zhangsheng stood by the window, gazing out over the entire Qianlong Academy.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a difference all at once. Looks like we still need to put some pressure on these little ones, otherwise every single one of them has started slacking off." Xin Bi Qu Ge

Zhao Tianxing said with a cheerful laugh.

Beside him, Li Zhangsheng also revealed a stiff smile.

"It really is true. It seems our management before was a bit too lax. Now the appearance of Su Yu, Zhang Xiaobai, and the others has made these old slickers feel a sense of crisis."

"Yes, everything is developing in a good direction!"

The two sighed in admiration, then fell into a period of silence once more.

"By the way, the Inheritance Path will open soon. I wonder how many people will obtain the inheritance this time."

Zhao Tianxing returned to the sofa, crossed his legs, and said casually.

Li Zhangsheng's brow twitched slightly.

"The Inheritance Path is not so easy to walk. Talent, cultivation, and temperament are all indispensable. Among the Sequence now, setting aside Su Yu and the others, only those two little ones haven't entered yet. This time is their last chance. They're probably already on their way back."

"Those two..."

Zhao Tianxing smacked his lips and stretched.

"Those two little ones are indeed not bad. I wonder what kind of sparks will fly when they meet Su Yu."

Zhao Tianxing said with a cheerful laugh, his eyes full of mischief.

Li Zhangsheng said casually.

"It might well turn into another fight. You can look forward to cleaning up the mess then."

After saying that, Li Zhangsheng shook his head and disappeared from the room.

Only Zhao Tianxing remained, legs crossed, cracking sunflower seeds, smiling as he looked toward a certain spot in space.

"Tsk tsk tsk, interesting."

Time flew by rapidly.

For Martial Artists, time was the least valuable thing.

An ordinary expert at the Qi Blood Realm, barring illness, could live safely for over eighty years.

An expert at the Transcendent Realm could extend their lifespan to over two hundred years.

As for a Marquis, or even a King, it was even more terrifying—at least five hundred years to start.

So for Martial Artists, a brief session of closed-door cultivation could mean one or two months passing by.

In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed.

Eleventh Peak, where Su Yu's Cave Dwelling was located.

Su Yu sat quietly cross-legged on his bed.

An extremely terrifying fluctuation continuously surged from within his body, and that fluctuation caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.

One could see how powerful the aura was.

And within Su Yu's dantian.

Above the ocean-like Grandmaster's Power, fourteen stars shone quietly, releasing formidable might.

Below, the ocean formed by the Grandmaster's Power constantly churned, like a swimming dragon endlessly gliding through the depths of the sea, releasing supreme might.

Rumble!!!

Waves of rumbling echoed.

A powerful current instantly erupted from the ocean, surging to a spot in space above the sky.

The current contained extremely powerful force, forcibly distorting that area of space, as if pulling on something.

As the current's power continuously grew, the thing within that space became increasingly clear.

Specks of starlight reflected onto the sky, then randomly spread out.

Dyeing the entire pitch-black canopy.

With a boom, a brand-new star was forcibly dragged out by the current.

Boom!

Another roar resounded, and the entire ocean seemed swept up in a torrential storm, with lightning flashing and thunder crashing.

Carrying an extremely oppressive aura, it permeated the entire dantian.

Fifteen stars!

After a month's time, with the support of countless Supreme Star Crystals, Su Yu had forcibly lit up five stars.

The number of stars in his dantian had already reached fifteen!

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, and deep within his gaze, a flash of starlight seemed to streak past.

An extremely unique aura permeated out from within Su Yu's body.

"Fifteen stars!"

Su Yu murmured.

Over the course of a month, Su Yu continuously lit up brand-new stars, and the number of Supreme Star Crystals consumed had reached one hundred.

Added to the one hundred from the previous two months.

In less than half a year, the quantity Su Yu had consumed had already reached two hundred.

At the very beginning, Su Yu only had about one hundred and sixty on him. Later, he relied on the Energy Ore Vein's daily yield of one thousand energy stones to accumulate them.

Synthesized through the Synthesis Slot.

But even so, in just one short month, Su Yu had completely exhausted his entire fortune.

Now, inside Su Yu's Space Ring, it was truly spotless.

No resources were left at all.

「According to the First Principal's words, in ancient times the utmost an Extreme Path Strong One could do was light up fifteen stars, and now I have already lit fifteen, but why do I feel that after fifteen I can still continue lighting them? 」

A trace of doubt flashed across Su Yu's eyes.

「Could it be that in ancient times no one could light up more than fifteen stars? No way, how could I feel this is so simple? 」

Su Yu was a little surprised.

If Zhao Tianxing heard Su Yu's words, he would probably spit blood immediately.

Simple?

Lighting up stars requires not only extraordinary talent; without talent, one cannot even sense the existence of new stars.

Besides talent, a vast amount of resources is also required.

Even among the ancient Human Race, no one could be as wealthy as Su Yu in the Transcendent Realm.

Supreme Star Crystals, let alone modern times, even if placed in ancient times would be top-tier resources.

Even in ancient times, a typical King-Conferred Strong One might not possess them.

Let alone the Star Realm.

Su Yu is exactly the type who takes advantage and then acts innocent.

「The power of fifteen stars, I feel I have already reached the Bright Moon Realm, but whether it's the Crescent Moon or Half Moon, I'm not quite sure. 」

「Perhaps I should try out my current combat strength! 」

Su Yu rose to his feet, and a surging aura burst forth instantly.

Immediately afterward, Su Yu walked out of the mountain peak.

Just as he walked out of the mountain peak, Su Yu heard a cry of alarm.

「Su Yu! You actually came out of seclusion! 」

Su Yu looked toward the direction the voice came from and saw Zhang Xiaobai and others standing among the mountains, greeting him.

Su Yu froze.

The last time Zhang Xiaobai and company challenged the Sequence, Su Yu was still in seclusion.

Moreover, after his breakthrough, after hearing Zhao Tianxing's words, Su Yu resumed seclusion and only now came out.

So when he saw Zhang Xiaobai and the others, he felt a bit dazed.

Wu Ling'er walked over smiling, linked arms with Su Yu, and said.

「Hehe, we've also become part of the Sequence! 」

Su Yu looked at them in surprise.

Beichen, Zhang Xiaobai, and Wu Ling'er—all three have become part of the Sequence.

「Not only them, but these past few days Tang Nian Bing and Nan Shou Ren have been frantically challenging me, I'm about to go crazy. 」

Tian Ming didn't know when he had come out, and he spoke with a bitter smile.

Tian Ming's eyes were reddened, and he looked unusually fatigued lately.

「I can't take it anymore; if they keep challenging me, I'll go crazy. 」

Tian Ming shook his head and then shouted loudly toward the position of Peak Four.

「Zhang Liang, get out here, I'm going to challenge you! 」

Looking at Tian Ming's appearance, Su Yu smiled slightly and then walked toward the Martial Arts Tower.

Now Su Yu wants to see just where his limits lie!

Zhang Xiaobai and the others followed up, talking as they walked.

「Su Yu, what are you doing at the Martial Arts Tower? There are still a few days left before the Inheritance Path opens; shouldn't you be preparing for it? 」

Zhang Xiaobai asked curiously.

These past few days he has also been continuously preparing for the opening of the Inheritance Path; evidently he has already lit three stars in his dantian, and breaking through to the late Star Realm is not far off.

Beichen and Wu Ling'er are the same.

Su Yu gave a faint smile.

「Those with affinity obtain the Inheritance Path; rather than forcing it, it's better to calm the mind and improve oneself. Following another's inheritance may not be a good thing. 」

These words were spoken to Su Yu by the Slay Dragon King.

When imparting the Chaos Grind Disc Technique to Su Yu, the Slay Dragon King had once warned him thus.

Why do top experts rely on themselves to rise, rather than some so-called inheritance?

They may have countless opportunities, but what sustains them to the end is nothing other than what they themselves possess.

Inheritance can exist, but it is not necessary.

Extract the essence, discard the dross.

This is quite necessary.

Therefore, Su Yu does not place much importance on the Inheritance Path.

Firstly, Su Yu does not regard these so-called inheritances; possessing the Synthesis Slot is already the best opportunity.

Secondly, Su Yu's sole goal is the inheritance of the First Principal.

Since his fall, no one has been able to obtain that inheritance, and Su Yu also does not think he can obtain it.

So he simply went with the flow.

As they chatted, everyone arrived at the Martial Arts Tower.

At this moment, the number of students around the Martial Arts Tower is greater and livelier than when Su Yu last came.

Countless students, upon seeing Su Yu and the others arrive, respectfully bowed to them.

「We greet several Sequence members! 」

Their eyes were filled with fervor; after Zhang Xiaobai and the others challenged the Sequence, they suddenly understood something.

It turned out the Sequence wasn't as terrifying as imagined; Zhang Xiaobai and the other newcomers could all become Sequence, so why couldn't they?

Moreover, there was the monthly elimination system.

In just three months, nearly a hundred people had already been eliminated.

Therefore, everyone in Qianlong Academy began to cultivate frantically, fearing they would be left behind by others.

That is why the current situation has come about.

Su Yu gave a faint smile and walked into the Martial Arts Tower amid everyone's gaze.
