Chapter 363

"Dean He, have you seen the news?"

"Zhenhai is truly amazing; he has finally achieved his wish and successfully broken through to become our Xia Guo's new Ninth Realm martial artist."

"Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang—this title suits him very well; he has fought for Beijiang his whole life."

"I remember when I was a student in the same year as him; I was an S-level genius, and he was an SSS-level genius."

"I even wanted to challenge him, but I was defeated by him with one sword."

"The gap was too big!"

"Now 17 years have passed, and he has broken through to the Ninth Realm, while I am still stuck at the peak of the Seventh Realm unable to break through," a leader sighed.

Others nodded; they had also been geniuses once, but compared to true geniuses, they were incomparable.

"Although it is said that SS-level geniuses can break through to the Ninth Realm, the probability is still too low."

"Only SSS-level geniuses can steadily break through to the Ninth Realm."

A middle-aged man with a gentle temperament spoke, his tone full of regret.

He was an Eighth Realm martial artist who had already felt his limit; the golden age for a martial artist is 40 years old, and if one hasn't broken through to the Ninth Realm before then, one might never have the chance in a lifetime.

And he was already 42 years old; he might stop at the Eighth Realm for the rest of his life.

Liu Yuanzhang listened to everyone's idle chatter from the side without speaking; he knew his own martial arts talent.

The Seventh Realm was his limit; without an astonishing opportunity, it was impossible to break through to the Eighth Realm.

As for the Ninth Realm, he didn't even dare to think about it.

His current ideal was to cultivate Lin Qi well; perhaps there would be hope for him to break through to the Ninth Realm in the future.

Then he could be considered to have performed a great service!

"They're here!"

Vice Principal Xu Wenji looked up at the sky and spoke while stroking his beard.

Everyone quieted down and looked at the sky one after another.

"Boom!"

A saucer-shaped fighter jet, entirely red and white, drew white air waves in the sky.

Amidst a roar, it grew larger and larger, and in a moment, it appeared in the sky in front of the Chixiao Building.

"Hoo hoo!!"

Fierce winds whistled, blowing the corners of everyone's clothes.

The fighter jet stopped slowly in front of everyone.

"Hum!!"

The cabin door opened, and in the blink of an eye, a tall figure walked out from it.

Behind him, figures walked out slowly; they wore different clothes and radiated a dense killing intent, as if they had just returned from the battlefield.

"Deans, welcome back!"

Xu Wenji said with a smile.

The nearly ten people who walked out of the fighter jet were all Vice Deans or Deans of the nine academies of Firmament Shanyu Wuda.

"Finally back; I feel much more relaxed."

A burly man laughed out loud; his aura was formidable, one of the two most powerful among the 10 people.

"Old Xue!"

"Old Liu!"

Liu Yuanzhang called out after seeing Xue Zhou, the Dean of the Sixth Academy.

Xue Zhou wore a blue robe, his posture straight, his temperament still dashing and unrestrained; after waving to greet Liu Yuanzhang,

He spoke to a tall boy with an outstanding temperament beside him:

"Especially Chu Yu, now that it's summer vacation, it's not easy for you to cultivate in the other world."

"Go back and rest well for a month before returning to school!"

The boy was not old, looking under 20 years old, with handsome features, a tall stature of nearly two meters, and a strong sense of self-confidence.

Although his aura was the weakest among the ten, he was also the youngest, and he didn't feel timid at all when facing many powerhouses.

He was also very dazzling in the crowd.

The burly man beside him also laughed:

"Especially Chu Yu, your current strength is already amazing enough!"

"Cultivation requires a balance of work and rest; relax your body and mind well, and perhaps you can break through even faster."

The boy named Especially Chu Yu nodded and smiled:

"After cultivating hard in the other world for so long, I'm only one step away from the Sixth Realm; it's time to take a rest!"

"Maybe I'll break through after resting for a month!"

Liu Yuanzhang and the others couldn't help but sigh after hearing this; as expected of an SSS-level genius.

The speed of cultivation was simply ridiculously fast.

Xu Wenji said with a smile: "It's good that everyone can return safely!"

"Everyone go back and have a good rest!"

Finally, everyone dispersed; Xue Zhou waved goodbye to Especially Chu Yu, and after waiting for the others to leave by electric train,

He walked through the quiet campus with Liu Yuanzhang, laughing and chatting.

Xue Zhou sighed:

"Especially Chu Yu, this child, is worthy of being an SSS-level genius; his cultivation speed is simply too fast."

"By next year, at the Global Martial Arts Tournament, he will sweep away all opponents; who will be his match?"

"In the future, he will be another Ninth Realm martial artist!"

Liu Yuanzhang nodded in praise: "Indeed, a very good genius."

"Old Xue, tell me in detail about your situation going to the other world this time."

Xue Zhou breathed in the fresh air around him, feeling comfortable, and then slowly spoke:

"This time going to the 【Relic】, there were a full 10 of us preparing to break through, all of whom were Eighth Realm peak martial artists."

"All of them were top-tier experts who had made a name for themselves on the battlefield, with top-tier talent and combat power."

"Unfortunately, in the end, only two succeeded in breaking through to the Ninth Realm."

"Everyone else failed!"

Liu Yuanzhang was not surprised after hearing this: "After all, that is the 【Relic】, not our Blue Star civilization."

"If everyone could easily break through inside, our Ninth Realm martial artists would have been overflowing long ago."

"This time is already much better than last time!"

"Last time 10 people went, and not one broke through!"

"Wait, two people succeeded in breaking through; besides the Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang, who else?" Liu Yuanzhang suddenly asked curiously.

Xue Zhou suddenly stopped, touched the green tree beside him, and sighed:

"It was Old Li!"

"This time, dozens of us went to the 【Relic】 together."

"Old Li and Old Yu both succeeded in breaking through to the Ninth Realm, and others also had great gains, as did I."

"But on the way back, we still encountered an attack by five Level 9 disaster beasts and dozens of Level 8 disaster beasts."

"Fortunately, the Principal and the senior Ten Thousand Blade Sword Emperor were there, and we easily killed all the disaster beasts! But we were ambushed by that scum of the Insect Race."

"Old Li was seriously injured on the spot, and Yu Yi and the others all sacrificed themselves!"

"The losses were too heavy!"

"Although the number of these Insect Race scum is not large, each one has top-tier strength, and it was an ambush."

"Although two people successfully broke through to the Ninth Realm, and there were four Ninth Realm title-level martial artists, three Eighth Realm and five Seventh Realm martial artists still sacrificed themselves."

When Xue Zhou said this, his face also became gloomy.

Liu Yuanzhang's face became full of killing intent after hearing this: "They all deserve to die!"

Xue Zhou continued walking forward:

"However, the Insect Race didn't expect that two of us would break through to the Ninth Realm, so they also suffered heavy losses."

"It's a pity they hid too deeply; we couldn't wipe them all out!"

He looked at the dazzling sun and said:

"Old Liu, maybe in less than two years, I will also have to head to the 【Relic】 to prepare for a breakthrough!"

!

Liu Yuanzhang revealed a look of surprise and said:

"Old Xue, are you going to break through to the Ninth Realm?"

Xue Zhou smiled and said:

"Don't be so surprised; I am, after all, an SS-level genius who has mastered a minor divine ability."

"Preparing for a breakthrough is nothing out of the ordinary!"

"It's just a pity that every time we go to the 【Relic】, the ones who can break through are SSS-level geniuses."

"SS-level geniuses break through too rarely, too rarely!"

Liu Yuanzhang also nodded; although it is said that SS-level geniuses have a 50% probability of breaking through to the Ninth Realm.

That is only research data and is not realistic at all; in reality, those who can break through are few and far between.

Only SSS-level geniuses can steadily break through.

For example, the Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang this time, and the other person, were both SSS-level geniuses.

A moment later, the two returned to the office in the Cangjing Building.

Liu Yuanzhang sat on the sofa and began to make tea with practiced ease.

Xue Zhou looked at the water in the tank and suddenly asked.

"How is that kid Lin Qi doing?"

"That kid is the champion of the National Freshman Tournament!"

He had stayed in the other world for several months and almost forgot about Lin Qi.

Liu Yuanzhang said with a smile:

"Old Xue, you've been away for months and missed too many things."

"Lin Qi is now the champion of the Global Freshman Tournament."

Xue Zhou paused, revealing a look of surprise.

"Global Freshman Tournament champion?"

"You mean to say that Lin Qi defeated the S-level, and even SS-level geniuses from major countries on Blue Star, and won the championship?"

Liu Yuanzhang reached out to pour the hot tea and nodded:

"That's right!"

Xue Zhou sat down immediately and asked: "What's the situation?"

He was surprised inside; national and global—there was only one word difference, but the value was completely different.

There were many SS-level geniuses inside, and they were all top-tier geniuses.

Yet they all lost to Lin Qi, this unawakened genius.

Liu Yuanzhang smiled: "Listen to me slowly!"

So he told Xue Zhou roughly about what had happened in the past few months.

A few minutes later, Xue Zhou raised his teacup and took a big gulp, then stood up.

He laughed out loud, both surprised and happy!

"Good, good!"

He said "good" twice, his whole person becoming exceptionally excited.

"I underestimated Lin Qi; he actually has such talent!"

"With an unawakened body, he swept away all opponents one after another and forcefully won the championship of the Global Freshman Tournament."

"I, Old Xue, have learned something new today!"

Liu Yuanzhang felt secretly pleased; he had finally managed to shock his old friend.

"I have already greeted Old Xu and proposed to the Principal that Lin Qi be upgraded to an SS-level genius."

"And then we will search for an Awakening Fruit for him with all our might, so he can awaken!"

Xue Zhou nodded after hearing this:

"You did the right thing; special geniuses like Lin Qi should be handled specially; there is no problem with upgrading him to an SS-level genius."

"By the way, you mentioned the Awakening Fruit; I might have some news."

Liu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up after hearing this:

"Really?"

Xue Zhou smiled and said:

"During the process of heading to the 【Relic】 this time, we also intended to collect heavenly treasures."

"The harvest was abundant; we even found a treasure land—it was a bumper harvest."

"I estimate that in the next few years, the strength of our Xia Guo's geniuses, and even High Realm martial artists, will be raised to another level."

"And among them, it seems there are even three Awakening Fruits!"

Liu Yuanzhang stood up immediately after hearing this, exhaling a breath to keep himself calm.

"I will notify the Principal now; I will go and negotiate with them."

"One of the Awakening Fruits must be given to Lin Qi, no matter what."

Xue Zhou smiled: "Don't worry, with Lin Qi's talent now,"

"The school will support it from top to bottom."

Liu Yuanzhang nodded; that was what was said, but not having it in hand didn't mean 100% certainty.

If someone intercepted it halfway, he would be crying without tears.

He knew how much attraction an Awakening Fruit had for an unawakened S-level genius.

Many people would even do crazy things.

With only two Awakening Fruits, it concerned the future of one's own child; the name of their Firmament Shanyu Wuda might not even be useful.

Getting it in hand as soon as possible was the best result.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and started contacting Xu Wenji.
