Chapter 308: The Excited Profound Elder, the Overbearing Principal!

On the mountain peak.

Everyone's gaze was drawn to the markings above Su Yu's head.

Twenty or thirty markings hovered above Su Yu's head, emitting a faint glow.

"Ah, twenty or thirty markings—if only I could have one."

A senior student who had just been eliminated on the Inheritance Path sighed and said,

His eyes looking at Su Yu were full of envy.

Under the light of the twenty-plus markings, he couldn't even muster jealousy.

Because such a thing is utterly beyond envy; if it were just one or two, he might feel a twinge, but twenty or thirty far surpass what a heaven‑chosen prodigy could achieve.

"Freak!"

"He has become a freak!"

Clearly, Su Yu's talent is terrifying.

"Twenty or thirty markings—is Su Yu trying to obtain every inheritance on the Inheritance Path? Just what level has his talent reached to attract twenty or thirty inheritances?"

"Yeah, I've never seen so many inheritances circling a person—Su Yu, this guy, is truly a freak."

The surrounding spectators couldn't help but say,

Their faces were filled with envy.

Except for one person.

Zhao Tianxing!

Zhao Tianxing stared at the markings above Su Yu's head, his brows furrowed.

"Even so, he still can't obtain the First Principal's inheritance, and Su Yu has lit up seventeen stars—yet even the First Principal never lit that many. What's the reason?"

Zhao Tianxing felt somewhat puzzled.

His expectation for Su Yu was to obtain the First Principal's inheritance.

After all, that is the foundation of Qianlong Academy.

Once he obtains the First Principal's inheritance, given Su Yu some time, he will surely become a top‑tier existence of the present age.

At that point, Qianlong Academy's return to glory would be merely a matter of time.

Yet, among those twenty or thirty markings, not a single one belongs to the First Principal.

Just then, a sword cry rang out across the mountain peak.

Only Li Mu let out a long whistle with his whole body.

The three pear‑wood sword cases on his back trembled slightly, and three sharp swords shot out, crisscrossing heaven and earth.

A sharp aura gathered in Li Mu's brow.

It finally formed a sword imprint, etched onto Li Mu's brow.

Buzz—buzz—buzz!!!

Between heaven and earth, waves of sword cries rang out.

"This is..."

Someone's pupils shrank sharply as they stared in shock at Li Mu.

"Li Mu has obtained the inheritance!"

In the crowd, someone exclaimed in shock at the sight before them.

Li Mu's body burst with powerful undulations, and behind him a star slowly lit up!

Lighting a star, Star Realm!

At that moment, Li Mu leapt from the Perfection of the Flying Heaven Realm to the Star Ancestor Master realm!

Li Mu's eyes curled with a smile; he had been stuck in the Flying Heaven Realm for a long time, unable to break through, so he came to the Inheritance Path hoping to breakthrough.

Moreover, on the Inheritance Path he unexpectedly obtained the inheritance of the Sword Dao King, and with its help he broke through to the Star Ancestor Master realm in one fell swoop!

Li Mu was in high spirits, his face beaming, but when his gaze fell on Su Yu, his pupils shrank sharply.

Two words slipped out involuntarily.

"Holy shit!"

Li Mu stared blankly at the markings above Su Yu's head, feeling as if his entire worldview were about to shatter.

In those ten minutes on the Inheritance Path, he didn't know how much he had paid, but he barely managed to gain that one's acknowledgment.

Thus he obtained the inheritance.

As for Su Yu, those markings clung to him like devoted followers, circling him.

Compared to Li Mu, Su Yu's treatment was practically that of an emperor.

Zhao Tianxing saw Li Mu obtain the inheritance and quickly smiled as well.

"Not bad, not bad—obtaining an inheritance means a promising future; go back and properly digest its meaning, it will help you greatly."

However, Li Mu seemed not to have heard Zhao Tianxing's words, merely staring blankly at Su Yu.

Immediately after, another tremor came.

Nan Shou Ren slowly opened his eyes; as his eyes opened, five gleaming stars appeared behind him, accompanied by a wonderful melodic voice that resonated.

It spread across the entire mountain peak.

Nan Shou Ren received the inheritance of a King‑Conferred Strong One skilled in sound‑rhythm attack, likewise breaking through his realm and lighting five stars.

Nan Shou Ren's mouth curled into a slight smile.

"Now I can finally narrow the gap with you a bit."

Nan Shou Ren thought so, and his gaze shifted to Su Yu.

"Holy shit!"

Nan Shou Ren was also stunned.

Like Li Mu, he stared blankly at Su Yu.

Zhao Tianxing looked at the two and felt waves of headache.

Although the two had received the inheritance, Zhao Tianxing felt happy, yet he feared that these guys staring at Su Yu would unsettle their minds!

That the two could receive the inheritance clearly shows their talent is sufficient to gain the acknowledgment of a marquis, or even a King-Conferred Strong One.

But compared to Su Yu, it's just a small witch seeing a great witch.

They are not even on the same level.

This is Zhao Tianxing's biggest worry.

Immediately after, Wu Ling'er and Tang Nian Bing also woke up in succession, and the five Star Mountains behind them shone with brilliant light.

Unexpectedly, they also received the inheritance from the Inheritance Path.

But when they saw Su Yu, they, as expected, fell silent.

Although they didn't utter a single 'holy shit,' their silent faces already said everything.

"Not bad, not bad—four people have already received the inheritance; this year's seedlings are promising!"

Xuan Lao sat on the ground, speaking carelessly.

Zhao Tianxing couldn't help but nod at that.

Indeed, in ordinary times, having two or three people receive the inheritance in a year would be good, but this year four have already appeared.

Moreover, the five seed contestants—Chu Hong, Xiang Shao Yun, Zhang Xiaobai, Bei Chen, and Su Yu—have not yet appeared.

Who knows, this time they might break Qianlong Academy's record.

Just thinking about it, Zhao Tianxing couldn't help but become excited.

But just then, a flash of red light flickered above Su Yu's head.

Immediately after, a red insignia hovered above Su Yu's head.

"Huh? Why is there still a red mark? What's going on?"

The onlooking crowd looked at the red mark above Su Yu's head and voiced their confusion.

Only Zhao Tianxing and Xuan Lao exchanged a glance the moment they saw that red mark.

Xuan Lao jumped up with a sound, rising from the ground, trembling as he gazed at that red mark above Su Yu's head.

"This is... the First Principal's inheritance!"

Zhao Tianxing said excitedly.

How many years has it been? The First Principal's inheritance has finally appeared in Qianlong Academy.

Since the First Principal fell, he left the inheritance in the Inheritance Path; during that time, many prodigies entered the Inheritance Path seeking to obtain the First Principal's inheritance.

But for hundreds of years, no one has ever managed to obtain the First Principal's inheritance.

Some even doubted that the Inheritance Path contained no such inheritance at all, and that the so-called inheritance was merely a rumor of Qianlong Academy.

Only Zhao Tianxing and the other elder principals knew that the First Principal's inheritance truly remained in the Inheritance Path.

However, those prodigies who entered simply failed to meet his standards.

And now, Su Yu's appearance.

Finally allowing this legendary inheritance to manifest in the world!

Xuan Lao, no longer calm, spoke excitedly.

"With the inheritance manifest, our Qianlong shall flourish!"

"When the hidden dragon emerges from the water, meeting wind and clouds it becomes a splendid dragon."

"The glory of Qianlong Academy shall continue once more!"

Xuan Lao said while waving his hands and feet.

At the corner of the old man's eyes, crystal-clear tears fell.

He had thought he would never see the First Principal's inheritance manifest in his lifetime, but now it has appeared on Su Yu.

Zhao Tianxing beside him felt the same, though not as exaggerated as Xuan Lao, he was still deeply moved.

The surrounding onlooking crowd, upon hearing Zhao Tianxing's words, were likewise startled in their hearts.

"Holy shit, it's actually the First Principal's inheritance; I said the inheritance mark was different."

"Hiss, this Su Yu is practically a monster—he can even sense the First Principal's inheritance; what kind of freak is he?!"

The crowd looked at Su Yu with some envy.

But at this moment, within the Inheritance Path.

Su Yu looked at the burly figure before him, feeling slightly dazed.

That person glanced at Su Yu lightly, then a sharp light burst from his eyes.

"Eighteen stars—it seems you have taken the Extreme Dao to its limit."

A grand voice resonated.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the three Fire Emperors changed drastically, and they stared at Su Yu in shock.

They are nowhere near as formidable as the First Principal; although they were Sovereign Realm powerhouses in life, they now possess less than a ten-thousandth of their former strength.

Upon hearing the First Principal's words, the three were shaken.

All three are Sovereign Realm powerhouses, naturally well-versed in the Extreme Dao.

You should know that even in ancient times, only one person could light fifteen stars, yet Su Yu has actually lit eighteen.

The Fire Emperor suddenly felt somewhat excited.

"Kid, quickly accept my inheritance; with someone like you, my inheritance will surely flourish."

Just as his words fell, the First Principal's gaze landed upon him.

Fire Emperor's voice came to an abrupt halt.

Obviously, facing the First Principal, even an existence as strong as the Fire Emperor dared not say more.

The First Principal said lightly.

"This little brat I'll take; you can leave your inheritance to others."

Such calm words actually left the three of them unable to utter a single rebuttal.

As if they feared him.

The First Principal said fervently to Su Yu.

"Follow me!"

Having said that, he headed deep into the barren land.

Su Yu followed blankly behind the First Principal, walking slowly.
