The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

"What's up, kid? Something's up?"

"You haven't mastered the Taiyi Pure Yang Breathing Technique, nor the other two introductory techniques yet. Isn't wandering around a waste of time? Go back!"

Downstairs in the dormitory building, Luo Mingwu said wearily.

He had been getting a lot of trouble lately, and as a result, his tone became slightly impatient.

Ji Chen didn't care about his attitude. His powerful mental and sensory attributes allowed him to sense that Lao Luo's aura was much stronger than when they first met.

Clearly, after gaining an early advantage in the new school of martial arts, Luo Mingwu invested a considerable amount of the money he earned from downloading the techniques into himself.

Otherwise, Luo Yonghao, who is almost 100 years old, wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly.

"My cultivation of the Taiyi Pure Yang Breathing Technique is almost sufficient, and I want to obtain the next cultivation method as soon as possible."

"Um... What?!"

Luo Mingwu's eyes widened, and he didn't react.

"What, you've reached a certain level of proficiency in your cultivation?"

"Taiyi Pure Yang One Breath Breathing Method".

Ji Chen was a little helpless. His progress was indeed a bit ahead of schedule, and it was normal that Lao Luo couldn't accept it for the time being.

"Are you kidding me? You have time to waste, but my time is very precious, and I don't have time to play these tricks with you."

That's what he said. Luo Mingwu wiped his eyes, and suddenly his eyes shone brightly as he looked at Ji Chen.

Ji Chen shuddered, forcibly suppressing his instinct to dodge, and stood still in place.

Luo Mingwu initially didn't take it seriously, but after observing it closely, he suddenly fell silent, his face blank.

He couldn't believe it, preferring to believe that his martial arts skills had gone wrong rather than to believe that what he was seeing was real.

"No, you actually mastered it!"

Luo Mingwu rubbed his eyes and looked at Ji Chen twice more, even using his hands to check on him.

"I never expected you to be such a genius!"

His tone was complex, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.

In just half a month, he completed a journey that would take ordinary people several years to complete. What else could he be but a genius!

Moreover, this "ordinary person" refers to those students who are qualified to enter the Superpower Academy.

Only then did Luo Mingwu truly begin to believe that Ji Chen's claim about the Qi and Blood Martial Arts School was something he had created.

"What a pity."

Luo Mingwu sighed inwardly, thinking of their current predicament.

His expression suddenly changed, and he angrily rebuked Ji Chen:

"Since you have this talent, you shouldn't waste any more time. Go back to your dorm right now and practice properly!"

Lao Luo's tone was fierce, but Ji Chen felt a warmth in his heart.

This shows she genuinely cares about him and doesn't consider him an outsider, hence her words.

"Teacher Luo, as you know, some people are pushing me too hard. I'm doing this just to try and protect myself as much as possible."

"Don't worry, Teacher Luo. I obtained the subsequent cultivation techniques just in case. I won't stop practicing the introductory techniques until the very last moment!"

Ji Chen managed to persuade Lao Luo.

Luo Mingwu's expression changed several times before he patted Ji Chen on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry. If I hadn't been so flamboyant, with your talent, you could have quietly cultivated in the academy for a few years and had a promising future."

"Teacher Luo, please don't say that. That's not true. How could I possibly have met such a good teacher like you?"

Ji Chen interrupted Lao Luo.

Both were well aware of the attention they received, and they tried their best to hide certain words in their conversations.

Luo Mingwu's face flushed slightly after being lifted up by Ji Chen, but as if he had thought of something, his expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"But I am not your instructor. I am not qualified, nor do I have any way to bypass your instructor and teach you the subsequent techniques."

Luo Mingwu was just an ordinary teacher at the Superpower Academy and had no ability to interfere in Ji Chen's choice of mentor.

Therefore, Ji Chen's advisor can only be arranged by the college system.

As for privately imparting martial arts techniques, Luo Mingwu is currently being closely watched, and using back channels would only be a dead end, handing others leverage over him.

Trouble.

Ji Chen's expression was a bit grim. He thought he could get the cultivation technique after persuading Lao Luo, but judging from Lao Luo's appearance, the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

"How about this, I'll go with you to see your instructor. I'll swallow my pride and see if I can get you the rest of the training manual."

Luo Mingwu operated the holographic projection bracelet on his wrist and quickly completed the application process for Ji Chen.

Ji Chen wasn't curious about the holographic projection bracelet at all. Although the mainstream communication device in Capricorn is a smartphone, this was only prepared for ordinary immigrants.

However, for the elites at the top of the immigrant ecosystem, they use holographic projection bracelets that are only one or two generations behind virtual bracelets.

Ji Chen only glanced at it briefly, then made a mental note of his mentor, Shen Yihang.

. . . . . .

dong dong——

"Please come in!"

Shen Yihang glanced at the two people who entered, a subtle glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Hey! Isn't this Teacher Luo? What brings you here today? Your name, Luo Mingwu, is legendary in our martial arts department!"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

Luo Mingwu pulled Ji Chen to sit down opposite Shen Yihang and explained the purpose of their visit.

"A test? To obtain subsequent cultivation techniques?"

Shen Yihang adjusted his shiny glasses.

"If I remember correctly, this student has only been enrolled for less than a month, right? They've already mastered the introductory techniques so quickly?"

Shen Yihang skillfully opened Ji Chen's information interface, which he had already looked at countless times, and exclaimed in surprise:

"It's still these three martial arts techniques. The younger generation is truly formidable!"

Shen Yihang's surprise was genuine.

To reiterate, whether it's the Taiyi Pure Yang Breathing Method or the other two techniques, achieving success requires persistent effort; there's no room for shortcuts.

So, Ji Chen really is a genius.

Shen Yihang pondered inwardly, but smiled outwardly:

"Although I trust Professor Luo's character, I still need to do a check due to college regulations. I hope Professor Luo won't mind?"

Luo Mingwu naturally had no objections.

Shen Yihang was overjoyed and immediately sent a wisp of spiritual light through the air, which traveled around Ji Chen's body to examine him carefully.

Five minutes later.

Shen Yihang withdrew his spiritual light, closed his eyes, and seemed to be seriously judging whether Ji Chen's cultivation had met the standard.

"Ji Chen actually mastered the Taiyi Pure Yang Breathing Technique; his talent is incredible..."

Shen Yihang was somewhat wary, but when he thought of the academy's high-ranking official who had spoken to him, his wariness vanished instantly.

"A genius who hasn't fully matured is nothing. As for Qi and Blood Martial Arts, he has cultivated them, but given his relationship with Luo Mingwu, it doesn't prove anything. It's a bit difficult to match his talent with his strength..."

Shen Yihang opened his eyes, still appearing very approachable, but his next words made Ji Chen and the other person freeze.

"Student Ji has indeed reached our academy's standard in mastering the introductory techniques, but..."

Shen Yihang suddenly became somewhat disappointed in his son.

"Ji, don't blame me for scolding you. I'm doing this for your own good. You're a bit too ambitious. You've only been in the academy for a few days, and you're already thinking about advanced cultivation techniques?!"

"Here, I have personally decided not to pass your test. You should calm down and properly cultivate the Taiyi Pure Yang Breathing Method, the Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Postures Method, and the Heart True Suchness Sutra. Don't waste our potential."

"That's it! Ji, if you want to complain, then complain about me. But even if you appeal to the college, this is still my version of events. I believe the college's higher-ups will understand my good intentions."
