Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Chu Yuan thought of that cheerful man;

Carefree and easygoing, it seems like there's something to be happy about every day.

He was drafted by the Third Army and died in a war against a foreign race...

Chu Yuan didn't actually know what realm he was in, but it was probably no higher than the Inner Breath Realm, or... a little lower.

Because he did not leave behind a substantial fortune, his mother supported the two of them with his pension and the care that the Qin government provides for the families of martyrs.

"Mom, I know what I'm doing."

"As long as you know the numbers... let's eat."

......

The next morning, Chu Yuan received a message from Qi Da: "Chu Yuan, where are you now?"

"at home."

"I need to come to the school. I have something to discuss."

"it is good."

He ate a quick bite and went out. When he arrived at the school, Zidane was already waiting for him in the office.

Upon meeting Chu Yuan, he didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Two things;

First, the results of this trial have been uploaded. The participants in this trial will be admitted to different martial arts academies according to their names, and they will not need to take the college entrance examination again.

I've checked your ranking; you're number one and will be guaranteed admission to the Divine Capital Martial Academy!

Of course, if you want to choose another martial arts academy, that's also possible..."

Chu Yuan wondered if this was compensation from the Qin government to the trial participants.

Those who can enter the Seventh Secret Realm are already the nation's top geniuses; even if they simply take the college entrance examination as usual, they would be qualified to enter a martial arts academy...

If this counts as compensation, it seems like it's better than nothing.

More concerned than that was another matter: "Now that I'm number one, when will I receive the Martial God's Scroll?"

"Uh..." Zidane paused for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "I don't know either. It should take two days... but it certainly won't be too long."

"Okay, so what's the second thing?"

"The second thing... I heard you used the Boiling Source Pill during the trial?"

Chu Yuan didn't care where he heard it from, and nodded in agreement: "I used it."

"Didn't anyone tell you that the Boiling Source Pill is a method of mutual destruction?"

"no way......"

"You're lucky. My teacher told me it's because you made outstanding contributions in this secret realm."

Not only did they save a large number of trial participants, but they also obtained the inheritance of the Blood Beast Clan... Therefore, the higher-ups decided to invite a great figure to personally help you repair the backlash!" There was a hint of lingering fear in Zida's tone;

He dared not think that if the higher-ups had not made this decision, would Chu Yuan have truly been rendered useless?

Chu Yuan was also delighted, then asked curiously, "Wasn't it said that the backlash from the Boiling Source Pill couldn't be repaired?"

"That depends on who it is. Of course, it cannot be repaired for ordinary martial artists."

But for truly top-tier experts, it's just a little troublesome...

"When?" Chu Yuan asked. The backlash from the Ephemeral Flower Induction was far more potent than that of the Boiling Source Pill. He wondered if that important figure could handle it...

"It should be within the next few days, just wait patiently."

Now that we've finished discussing the important matters, we can talk about other things.

Zidane complained, "I heard you recreated that formation in the secret realm!?"

Chu Yuan laughed: "Principal, how come you can hear about everything?"

"My teacher told me... Don't interrupt, do you know how much trouble this will cause us?"

I can keep it a secret, the teacher can't really do anything to me;

But you...

Believe it or not, there are definitely many people questioning the origins of this formation right now.

"no way......"

"..." Zidane sighed helplessly, "If you can't do it, don't stick your neck out!"

With so many martial arts family members inside, don't they have any trump cards up their sleeves?

"The opponent is a sixth-realm martial artist, and a rather senior one at that... Their trump cards are useless." Chu Yuan paused, then said helplessly, "Besides, they came specifically for me."

"What?! The Sixth Realm?!" Zida nearly broke his voice, shouting loudly;

Chu Yuan was surprised: "Principal, haven't you heard?"

Zidane remained silent; his teacher hadn't actually told him...

"No! Even if you've taken the Boiling Source Pill, how can you possibly defeat a sixth-realm martial artist!?"

"You're only at the Inner Breath Realm, aren't you?!"

Chu Yuan reminded him: "Principal, that formation... even a fifth-realm martial artist can't withstand it."

"If the opponent wasn't so strong that even the formation couldn't handle them, why would I need to eat the Boiling Source Pill? Just because I'm craving something sweet?"

Zidane recalled the scene of Yan Xuan being directly destroyed by the great formation, the memory was still fresh, as if it were just yesterday;

A martial artist of similar strength to him was ridiculously vulnerable in the face of the power of the great formation...

Chu Yuan is right. Martial artists at or below the fifth realm simply cannot mess with that terrifying formation!

Therefore, the powerful enemy that Chu Yuan faced after consuming the Boiling Source Pill... should be a sixth-realm expert!

So what exactly is his strength?

The Five Realms? Isn't that the same as my own...?

Zidane was somewhat dazed; he felt that all his years of cultivation had been wasted on dogs.

I'm clearly a genius! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been accepted as a disciple by my teacher...

He couldn't help but ask, "Have you already reached the Divine Power Realm? Didn't you say you didn't have any cultivation techniques?"

"I traded the Golden Yuan Technique with someone in the secret realm, and now... I should be in the Sky Soaring Realm, right?" Chu Yuan said uncertainly;

The cultivation and martial arts systems are not absolutely aligned; he only divides them based on his own feelings and guesses to determine his own level.

After taking the Epiphyllum Essence, he was able to deal with Tong Han, but that did not mean that he was equivalent to the sixth realm at that time.

If their cultivation levels were equal, with his divine sense, the Wind Riding Sword Technique, and the overwhelming power of his spiritual energy overpowering internal energy... he should have been able to instantly kill Tong Han!

If I were to fight you for three hundred rounds even though we were at the same cultivation level, wouldn't I have wasted my cultivation?

Qi Da still couldn't understand why, if Chu Yuan was currently in the Sky-Soaring Realm, even if he had taken the Boiling Source Pill, he shouldn't be a match for someone in the Sixth Realm.

But if he's at the Divine Power Realm, this cultivation progress is unacceptable...

"Fine, I won't ask you anymore," Zidane said sourly, yet with a hint of relief in his voice. "No wonder the higher-ups were so generous this time!"

"I suppose it's some kind of compensation," Chu Yuan sighed. "I suspect that this secret realm trial is a trap set by the higher-ups."

"How could that be, haha..." Seeing that Chu Yuan didn't seem to be joking, Qi Da's smile froze, and he whispered, "Really?"

"Just guessing..." Chu Yuan mumbled, "Let's not talk about that. Has Yang Yi returned?"

"There's still no news about him and Li Hong, but some students from No. 2 and No. 3 Middle Schools have returned."

"Li Hong is not coming back."

"He's dead?"

"No, that's not it... He defected to the enemy."

"..." Qi Da's face was grim. Although Li Hong wasn't exactly his student, he was still participating in the trial under the name of Chenyang No. 1 High School...

"That beast!"
