Cosmic Demon

Chapter 188 What to choose, the four major countries!
Eh!
How can it end here!
Qin Shi cried out in his heart, and hurriedly practiced the Void Meditation Method. His almost exhausted mental energy was barely squeezed out to produce a few strands, like a big net to catch the faint fluctuations lingering for a long time.

But Qin Shuai's voice became lower and lower, and it was difficult to hear clearly. The majestic figure in the military coat gradually became blurred.

"I only remember one third of it, the incomplete version of the Martial God Technique!"

Qin Shi felt very regretful. Although he might not be able to use it, it was from the hands of Qin Shuai, the highest hero of Dongxia and the strongest fighter among the Nine Marshals. It would not be wrong to get it.

The cracks in the void space were slowly closing, and the sky light that had been bombarding for a month finally died down, gradually returning to calm.

Qin Shi was still sitting cross-legged on the lotus stone seat. He had gained a lot from this trip. In addition to completing a great leap forward in spiritual practice, he also condensed the embryonic form of the holy fetus.

It also cleanses the mortal body, enhances the vitality of the flesh and blood, and stabilizes the new transformation of the fourth major period.

And I’ve eaten my fill of melon!

Qin Shi had roughly figured out some of the past between Marshal Qin and his deputy marshal, as well as why He Lanchan died inexplicably.

"The key lies in the thing that the deputy commander brought out from the Imperial Capital. It must involve a huge secret that even the Ninth Commander, who shines like the sun over Dongxia, cannot remain indifferent."

Qin Shi was thinking about the inheritance of He Lanchan that he had received from the Qin family in Yancheng.

Later, he was targeted by the Ying family, who were willing to go to great lengths to get rid of him.

"Is the Void Meditation Method the key to unlocking something?"

Qin Shi thought of the widely circulated Tianyu Secret Treasure, which was the precious treasure left by He Lan before he passed away.

"Old He finally got the thing that the deputy commander brought out. No one knows where he put it. The descendants of the Ninth Commander, the current Nine Surnames, have been keeping an eye on it.

The reason why the "Void Meditation Method" was spread out was probably because they tried it but couldn't get started, so they simply used it as bait.

The Qin family in Yancheng was planning to give it to Old Chen, and they had no good intentions, but it ended up in my hands by accident..."

Qin Shi's thoughts were scattered, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his temples.

Fortunately, there is the support of Nanhuang Taoist Temple, otherwise, Chen Ruofu alone might not be able to withstand the pressure from the Ying family.

"Deputy Commander, if you have any conscience, please give me some benefits! Otherwise, I, a poor, weak and helpless high school student, will not be able to withstand the bullying of the nine noble families of Dongxia who have the final say!"

Qin Shi muttered to himself.

He thought so, but he was not panicked or afraid. Ever since his mind was opened and his mental barriers were broken, the murderous intent that had been hidden deep in his heart was buried.

If I inherit the Nanhuang Taoist Temple and become the executive deputy master under Lao Zhang, once I get the license, I can wear armor and carry weapons and do whatever I want.

Even if he is a descendant of the Ying family, he can still be killed with one punch!
"I will upgrade for the time being, and then grow for a while, and then enter the professional field..."

Qin Shi was planning to push the self-cultivation furnace to the tenth level to completely unlock the secret treasures within the universe. Coupled with the Fenglinhuoshan and Huoshan skills of the Hundred Phases Refining Technique, coupled with his monstrous talent spanning two major paths, his own combat power would definitely not be too bad.

He asked Old Ren of Nanhuang Taoist Temple and learned that the security team of the Ying family's disciples was of extremely high standards, and the money and resources spent on it every year were astronomical.

If you don't have some skills, you can't even get close to people.

"The fact that Lao Zhang has been able to endure such a violent temper for so many years is enough to show the strength of the Ying family."

Qin Shi shook his head. Even though Old Zhang was very old and confined to a wheelchair all day, he had seen how he beat up the creatures from the Netherworld. He was definitely a master.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't deal with the Ying family, I guess Lao Zhang would have come to kill them and turned them into ashes long ago.

"For a whole month, I'm almost numb from practicing martial arts."

Qin Shi left the lotus stone seat. He stood where He Lanchan had stood before and walked towards the seats of the deputy commander and Qin Shuai respectively.

“I hope that one day I can become a legend like you.”

He whispered, took out his card and wanted to leave this small world.

The panel of the monument jumped suddenly, and a few lines of words passed across the retina.

[Automatic pickup is successful]

[In the appropriate range]

[Relics found...]

……

……

Xu Sheng, who was on a business trip for a month for unknown reasons, almost burst into tears when he saw Qin Shi walking out of the ruined temple.

He waited patiently, and finally the "retreat" of the successor of Nanhuang Taoist Temple ended.

It's ridiculous to say the least. How could an amateur stay there for thirty days without eating or drinking and practice peacefully?
This kind of incredibly strong vitality is only possible in professional fields!

"Xiao Qin, are you... okay?"

Xu Sheng wanted to hold Qin Shi's hands as if he had seen a relative.

As the final examiner of the top 100 competition, he must stay here to ensure the personal safety of the champion.

This is a responsibility and an obligation.

"It's better than ever. I have benefited a lot from the cleansing of the sky. Brother Xu, please convey my gratitude to the Martial Arts Association."

Qin Shi smiled and nodded.

"What a pity! You were supposed to win the first place in the Top 100 competition and beat Zhou Yuanchen as a dark horse, setting off a sensation in all the major cities in Hengzhou! Outlook Weekly is planning to do an exclusive interview with you, with the famous beautiful editor-in-chief Kang Yuner as the writer!"

Xu Sheng's tone revealed regret. If Qin Shi had not chosen to stay in seclusion for a month, he would have been able to become famous in Hengzhou and the talk of the town with this victory.

It’s hard to say now.

Even the most explosive news has its timeliness.

The heat always dies down as people talk less about it.

"It's just a false reputation, not worth mentioning."

Qin Shi kept a calm mind and said with a smile:
"Whether it's the metropolitan area or the martial arts association, the standard by which they measure resource investment is based on results and performance. As long as they recognize my results and performance, the rest doesn't matter."

Xu Sheng's eyes revealed surprise. He had been working in the Martial Arts Association as an inspector for quite some time and had seen many talented young men.

This is the first time I've met someone as low-key as Qin Shi.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, who doesn't like to be sought after, noticed, and worshipped as an idol?
The feeling of becoming the focus of the world and a celebrity is like floating in the clouds, so comfortable.

In the Wushu Association, many talented young men, after falling into mediocrity, could not stand the huge gap between the past and the present and chose to give up on themselves.

"The Tai'an Metropolitan Area has already finalized you and nominated you as a supernova. You don't even need to take the college entrance examination and can be directly recruited into Qiguang Hengda. Of course, with your performance, the four major national universities will also extend an olive branch to you. It depends on your own choice."

There was a hint of envy in Xu Sheng's eyes. Even though he was the Inspector of the Martial Arts Association, a staff member within the system who was paid by the government, and a professional master, his status and position were extraordinary.

But he deeply understood that everything he had now was the ceiling of his life, and it would be difficult to go further. Qin Shi was different. He had titles such as the champion of the Hengzhou Top 100 Competition and the supernova of the Tai'an Metropolitan Area. If he was recruited into the four national universities, he would be guaranteed to be a top-tier administrative planet in the future, a martial arts upstart in the three divisions and nine departments, and his rank would not be low.

If you are not willing to follow the systematic route and strive for the Star Cup, you may have the opportunity to enter the Grandmaster level, rule a place, and establish a gym.

In any case, Qin Shi has many life choices left.

This is the privilege possessed by the Pride of Martial Arts!
"I'll go back and discuss this with Master Zhang."

Hearing about the four great nations that he once thought were out of reach, Qin Shi felt no wavering.

In this regard, we still need to respect and refer to the opinions of Lao Zhang, Lao Chen, and Lao Liang.

In the past, the four major nations would have been the first choice, but after learning about the relationship between the deputy commander and He Lanchan, that might not be the case.

Without the supervision of Nanhuang Taoist Temple and out of Lao Zhang's sight, his personal safety would probably be difficult to guarantee.

"Okay, the plane is waiting for you. The senior just left yesterday. He must have guessed that you were going to leave. The Tai'an Metropolitan Area can't wait to welcome you, the supernova!"

Xu Sheng said happily.

This month's business trip is finally over.

He was bored to death staying in the deserted Rift Valley.

……

……

Lin Xiaohan visited the Nanjiang District villa again. After changing his shoes, he walked out of the entrance hall and looked at his sister Lin Yunqing who was applying a facial mask. He sighed:

"Over the years, I've never asked you for anything. Can't you just help me?"

Lin Yunqing turned his face away and snorted:

"When I first took a fancy to Assistant Qin and made an investment, you didn't have this attitude. At that time, Assistant Qin was working at the Youth Palace, and I could negotiate with him at any price.

Now, he has won the first place in the top 100 competition, and Zhou Yuanchen is defeated by him. Brother, the things you gave him are really not attractive. "

Lin Xiaohan was filled with helplessness. He never imagined that a high school student from Jiuchang Street would become a dark horse that crushed the Central City Education Department.

"I guess I am short-sighted. Otherwise, how can you show your unique vision?"

Lin Yunqing took off the mask and laughed:

“This is called the intuition of a genius investor!”

I think you have some dirty thoughts!

Lin Xiaohan complained in his heart.

The tradition of teacher-student love in our Lin family has been maintained very well.

"But your request is really difficult to fulfill. Between the four national universities and Qiguang Hengda, if you randomly pick ten people on the street, they will definitely choose the former.

Not to mention educational resources, cultivation resources, and various promotion channels, just the hidden benefits of becoming a student of the four national universities, such as increased citizenship, priority selection for Dongxia’s national projects, a list of outstanding young people, various A-level fund support, and even guidance from top scholars..."

Lin Yunqing counted on his fingers, counting the pros and cons.

The more Lin Xiaohan listened, the darker his face became. Qiguang Hengda was a first-rate institution after all, but his sister was belittling him to the point of being worthless.

"Alright, alright. We are definitely not comparable to the four major national powers, but then again, I don't think your Xiao Qin is so focused on moving up. You don't pay much attention to the news from the central city, and Xiao Qin and Ying's are having some unpleasantness."

Central City?
Ying family?

Lin Yunqing frowned slightly. She had been busy looking for angel investors and practicing her own spiritual cultivation recently, and had indeed neglected to pay attention to Assistant Teacher Xiao Qin.

"Mo Qihuan from the Central City Education Department is a prominent figure in Hengzhou. He is very close to the Ying family, and Zhou Yuanchen was the supernova he selected. As a result, Xiao Qin came out alone."

After all, Lin Xiaohan is the director of the General Affairs Department of Qiguang Hengda University and belongs to the education system. He said in a deep voice:

"Mo Qihuan's rise to power was inseparable from the secret help of the Ying family, which allowed him to secure the position of Director of Education. His son Mo Zhenting and Shen Changyuan of Nanhuang Daoguan are known as the twin peaks of Hengzhou.

At that time, the Seventh Regiment was selecting elite troops, and there was a special recruitment quota for national defense students. Shen Changyuan was the first to break through to the professional field, but disappeared for no reason and was replaced by Mo Zhenting.

Your Xiao Qin is the heir of the Nanhuang Daoist School and has inherited He Lanchan's legacy. He is destined to confront the Education Department and the Ying Clan."

Lin Yunqing opened his eyes wide, his mind seemed a little confused, and it took him a long time to sort it out.

"Brother, what you mean is that it may not be the most appropriate choice for Assistant Qin to go to the Four National Universities."

Lin Xiaohan nodded:

"My parents are both in the academic circle. Don't they know what the four national universities are like? They are not ivory towers. People like Xiao Qin, who have no academic background and no family background, will either be eaten up or used as consumables."

For most people, especially students who are still in school, the four national universities are the most beautiful dream.

In their imagination, the four national universities have a free atmosphere, a lively atmosphere, knowledgeable teachers, and respected professors...

Actually it is not.

Lin Xiaohan also comes from an academic family and is very familiar with the four national universities.

Academic cliques are rampant, seniority is a serious issue, and exploitation is everywhere. Senior students order younger students around at will, and tutors treat students like slaves who signed indentures in ancient times... Especially those who are eager to make progress, they almost live in a painful hell, enduring the status quo while being unable to adapt to it.

"That's right. The four national universities have indeed been in a mess over the years. My dad doesn't even want to give lectures there anymore."

Lin Yunqing deeply agreed with this. After the Education Department was restructured, it was continuously infiltrated by the Nine Surnames. The academic atmosphere became worse and worse, and a powerful faction similar to the ancient aristocratic families was formed.

I still remember my father specifically told me not to be too critical of scholars.

They are also ordinary people, and because of their profound knowledge and superior cognition, they often find it more difficult to sympathize and compassionate, and are more inclined to advocate the law of the social jungle.

"Let me talk to Assistant Teacher Xiao Qin. He has his own ideas and should consider these issues."

Lin Yunqing thought about it and decided to help his brother Lin Xiaohan.

Her original intention was to lure people into Qiguang Hengda and challenge the new martial arts school's headquarters.

"By the way, what are the conditions offered by Qiguang Hengda? Assistant Coach Xiao Qin has already won the first place in the top 100 competition, and he is also a supernova in the Tai'an metropolitan area. There must be no shortage of funds and support."

Lin Yunqing triggered his financial management instinct and decided to settle accounts with his siblings.

She put all her pocket money she had saved for so many years into it, and also hoped to get a high rate of return from Qin Shi and achieve financial freedom in one go!
"Besides being exempted from the exam, his treatment in all aspects will not be bad. We can discuss it in detail later. I have communicated with the school. He is the successor of Nanhuang Daoguan and has permission to wear armor and carry weapons.

Qi Guangheng can apply for a military-grade magic plane for his training."

Lin Xiaohan said confidently that even students from the four major national universities who wanted to fly military aircraft had to take relevant assessments, submit application reports, and wait in line.
