The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Cortez looked somewhat reluctant.

Although his original idea was to take Ji Chen under his wing, the process just didn't feel right.

Moreover, he always felt that this brat's words had a hidden meaning.

Cortes eventually accepted Ji Chen as his student.

The teacher-student relationship between Cortes and Ji Chen is not the kind of close inheritance relationship of a classical master-disciple relationship, but more like a mentor guiding graduate students in an ordinary university.

They usually offer guidance on professional direction and occasionally provide practical instruction; there aren't many strict rules about "inheritance".

However, Cortez hasn't had a proper student in decades, so the relationship isn't bad.

"From now on, you can come to my place to study three days a week. You can do whatever you want with the rest of the time. Also, don't come here unnecessarily. I have an arcade in my garage and stuff like that, so don't even think about it."

"If you really want it, take out the profits you've earned from your own school of thought and buy it yourself. Don't keep eyeing my meager savings."

After explaining Ji Chen's future tasks.

Cortes recalled Ji Chen's appearance when he first came to the mage tower and gave him a worried warning.

Ji Chen walked out of the mage tower with a smile on his face but cursing inwardly.

He wasn't surprised that the old man knew his background.

His displayed talent was enough to suggest his identity; in fact, one could say that if he weren't the creator of the Qi and Blood Martial Arts school, others would be quite puzzled.

As Ji Chen walked out of the mage tower, he found himself carrying something given to him by Cortes—

【Three-Phase Method】

This is the method the dean mentioned that allows one to cultivate other superpowers.

The Three-Phase Method consists of three stages.

The first stage is that the cultivator must be able to accommodate three different energies under the same super-energy factor.

The second stage is that the cultivator must be able to accommodate three different super-energy factors with similar properties from the same super-energy factor spectrum.

Only in the final stage can a cultivator accommodate three different types of super-energy factors.

Ji Chen glanced through it briefly, exclaiming "Wow, amazing!" and "Holy crap!" He couldn't help but marvel at the stability of triangles.

He simply didn't read it carefully; he only borrowed some of its ideas.

Not only is this thing difficult to cultivate, but its effects are far less than his own inherent qualities, making it completely useless to him.

However, it's not bad for covering up the peculiarities he will show later.

Furthermore, there might be a need for the Triad Method in the future for new apostles or human beings.

Just after Ji Chen left, Cortes' mage tower welcomed a new guest.

uninvited guest.

"Cortez, you seem to value this young man highly."

A blurry figure quietly appeared beside Cortes.

Cortes seemed unsurprised by the man's appearance.

He nodded, then shook his head.

"Your Excellency, who wouldn't like a talented and energetic young man? Being with him makes me feel young again."

"We have long lifespans, so we're always young."

Phipsta clearly disagreed with the dean's viewpoint.

"It's different, it's really different."

The dean shook his head, seemingly reminiscing about the past, and said:

"I still remember a thousand years ago, you were a passionate, righteous, and determined young man, but now, well, let's not talk about it."

Phipsta's face suddenly turned indignant.

"Cortes! You still remember what happened a thousand years ago! Have you forgotten who rescued you from the persecution of the Elven pantheon?! Have you forgotten who acted as your guarantor, rescuing you from that cruel world, extraditing you to the Federation, and granting you citizenship?!"

"We've known each other for a thousand years! All I wanted was to break free from the shackles that had bound me for eight hundred years, to break through to the Seven Stars and become a god. Not only did you refuse to help, but you're actually obstructing me!"

"Eight hundred years, eight hundred years!"

Phipsta's powerful aura erupted, a wisp of energy fell, and everything exploded, as if the whole world was about to be destroyed.

However, the next second, Phipsta's powerful aura was forcibly confined within this layer, unable to spread even slightly.

Phipsta calmed down and toned down his imposing manner.

"My friend, your strength seems to have increased. The truth is not far away for you."

"That's true. Since you can still improve, you naturally can't understand how I've been stuck for hundreds of years."

Cortes interrupted his emotional appeal.

"Phipsta, I remember your kindness and my affection."

"But over the past 1000 years, what have I ever owed you? In the Superpower League, I was willing to play a supporting role, a foil, to highlight you as the main attacker. Is this how you obtained the resources to cultivate to six stars?"

"At the Norl Superpower Academy, I am the head of the Mage Department, and you are the vice dean. Within my scope of responsibility, I have cooperated with you in everything, haven't I? I have never complained, have I? And there are many other things, one after another."

"Even after coming to Capricorn, where I serve as the dean of the Superpower Academy and the president of the Superpower Association, I still seem to be hiding inside the mage tower, not getting involved in anything, right?"

"I've cooperated with everything I could, and I've yielded to everything I could. What else do you want me to do? Cooperate with you in persecuting a federal genius? Is that against federal law?! I am a federal citizen, the dean of the Superpower Academy personally appointed by the Federation, not that elf boy from another world!"

The conversation ended unhappily, and Pipsta stormed off.

Cortez closed his eyes heavily and murmured:

"Pipsta, you're not the same person you used to be."

……

Ji Chen was naturally unaware of what happened inside the mage tower after he left.

He returned to the dormitory building and was greeted by a sea of ​​enthusiastic stares.

As far as the eye could see, all the students in the dormitory building were staring at him.

Even with Ji Chen's strong heart, he couldn't help but raise his chest at this moment.

"Brother Ji, these are the spiritual fruits I bought for you. Please try one. If you like them, I'll send you a few more."

A student squeezed through the crowd and handed him a bright, translucent fruit that exuded a wonderful aroma.

"Boss, this is a game console I just bought. Although it's not as good as the old planet's, it's the best available on Capricorn Star..."

……

Influenced by the first person to give a gift, others followed suit.

In order to get ahead and show their faces in front of Ji Chen, those behind them even started fighting.

Ji Chen was a little confused.

No, he went so far before, yet people still came to him trying to curry favor.

Are you all masochists?

Although Ji Chen was a little confused, he didn't hold back at all and accepted everything without hesitation.

"No problem, no problem. We're all brothers. If anything happens in the future, I'll protect you if I can, but it's okay if I can't."

"Alright, everyone can go now. Anyone who didn't know better would think we were running a shady gang here."

And so, carrying her bags, Ji Chen went upstairs to her dormitory.

On the street, the crowded people automatically parted, giving him a silent salute.

Only after he disappeared from sight did murmurs begin to rise in the hallway.

"We never knew our college had such a powerful person. That dragon in the Nebula Building must have been created by Boss Ji. It's so impressive. I heard that after the video was filmed, it spread all over the local social media. Everyone is guessing who Boss Ji is. I bet no one would have guessed that he was just a freshman who just arrived in our college."

"Riding a dragon through the clouds, the sea of ​​clouds stirs Capricorn, just thinking about it makes me feel so proud."

"Damn, just looking at that dragon, Boss Ji could definitely be considered a four-star superhuman."

"Otherwise, what else? The others in our building aren't bad either. If Boss Ji wasn't a four-star, would no one have spoken up that day?"

"Oh right, thinking back to that day, I remembered that silly guy who dared to film Boss Ji."

"Where is that idiot? Did he give you a gift earlier? If he didn't, we'll have to beat him up a few times to teach him a lesson."

...

The information they received was outdated; the news that Ji Chen had decisively killed a powerful member of the Crystal Horn alien race and defeated the director of the law enforcement bureau inside the Nebula Building had been blocked by the relevant departments.

Otherwise, once the news gets out, they will suffer an even greater shock.
