Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 173 Three-Element Super-Rank, Eighth Realm!

Upon learning of Cheng Xiao's whereabouts, Shao Zheng and other high-ranking officials of the National Government immediately led a group to visit him.

Although Cheng Xiao is currently under surveillance, he is relatively free except for not being able to leave the Holy City.

The Nationalist team members were eager to see Cheng Xiao, but because they were not of high enough status, they could not enter the Holy City to visit him.

Even with Song Qiming present, they still encountered obstruction from the Grand Judge, Dulan.

Therefore, only Song Qiming and Shao Zheng, among others, came to visit.

"Did they use any magic on you?!" Han Ji asked first, concerned about Cheng Xiao's condition.

Cheng Xiao shook his head slightly and asked with a smile:

"President, did you bring what I asked for?"

Han Ji took out a spatial ring and handed it to Cheng Xiao, who then briefly examined it with his mental sense.

The item inside the ring is none other than the Star Sea Celestial Vein!

"Speaker Shao Zheng and High Priest Song are already negotiating with the Holy City. It's a pity you'll have to stay there during this time," Han Ji sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, the news about you staying in the Holy City hasn't spread. Although the Divine Seal Praise has been delayed, it won't be in arrears."

Cheng Xiao shook his head:

"This matter is no longer your concern."

"How can this be none of our business! You are the undisputed glory of our Kyushu!" Han Ji said, frowning.

Cheng Xiao did not respond, but continued speaking to himself:

"President, do me another favor."

"you say."

"Go back to Songcheng in Kyushu and bring me something."

"."

..............................

The award ceremony for the university championship was held as scheduled, but the Kyushu National University team had lost the vigor they had displayed when they won the championship a few days earlier.

Without Cheng Xiao, the entire team seemed to have lost its soul.

Even Mu Ningxue, who accepted the championship badge on behalf of Cheng Xiao, had a cold expression throughout.

This has sparked much discussion and debate.

"I was wondering why the Kyushu National Government team was acting differently than before. Turns out Cheng Xiao didn't come. Is he throwing his weight around?"

"Such a high-profile person didn't even come to accept the award, could something have happened to Cheng Xiao?"

"Cheng Xiao now has the ability to kill a super-level mage, what could have happened? I suspect that the power Cheng Xiao used might be illegitimate!"

"This is the most likely guess. How could someone be so powerful as to take on a hundred opponents at the same level? I don't believe there's no cheating involved."

"I wanted to say this before, but there were too many people praising it, so I didn't say it for fear of being criticized. Tsk tsk, now finally someone has come forward to uphold justice!"

"."

Immediately, many people came out to mock and ridicule, questioning Cheng Xiao's and even the Kyushu National Team's record.

Some people also stood up to defend the team, saying that if the Kyushu National Team really used unfair means, the awards ceremony could not be held normally!

However, relatively speaking, the voices of doubt are currently louder.

Mu Nujiao, Mu Ningxue, and Jiang Shaoxu's faces turned ashen when they heard the rumors.

If Cheng Xiao hadn't told me not to cause trouble and make the situation even more chaotic because of him...

Jiang Shaoxu's temper is such that she'll probably just explode in public and expose everything.

After stepping down from the stage, Jiang Shaoxu angrily said:

"The captain is clearly innocent, so why is he being targeted like this? Are these Western countries sore losers?!"

Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue had grim faces, unable to express their anger in words.

"These bastards, one day they'll tear down their crappy holy city!" Mo Fan cursed angrily.

The National Government team members also looked grim. It was supposed to be an awards ceremony, but it felt like a criminal going to court, drawing a lot of discussion.

What's most infuriating is that they know exactly what happened, yet they can't defend themselves.

Everyone here has connections and naturally knows what kind of institution the Holy Tribunal is.

With the Holy Tribunal's domineering methods, whatever they say goes.

"Don't overthink it. Just accept the divine blessing and leave the rest to us," Pang Lai said.

"If it could be handled, it would have been handled long ago," Jiang Yu whispered, betraying his master.

Pang Lai glared fiercely at his apprentice, equally helpless, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Didn't you always have a lot of faith in your captain? Why didn't you adopt the same mindset this time?"

"Boss, don't treat us like children."

"."

..............................

Two days later, the Kyushu National Government team, led by Pang Lai, went to Parthenon as promised to receive the blessing of the divine seal of praise.

After receiving the blessing, it takes up to a month to process it.

The initial boost from Divine Praise is three times, but it will gradually diminish over time.

How much of the amplified power you ultimately retain depends entirely on your own abilities.

For monks who have received divine blessings, 1.2 times is the most common.

1.5 is the best-case scenario; no higher multiples have ever been found.

Therefore, everyone sets the limit of the Divine Seal Praise and the mage's own abilities at 1.5 times.

The month-long seclusion passed in the blink of an eye, and the National Government team successfully refined the energy of the Divine Seal Praise.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

A small villa next to the holy city.

The Milky Way and the sea of ​​stars are an insurmountable chasm.

Countless high-level, fully-trained mages have been stuck here due to insufficient resources.

It took Cheng Xiao several days to get over this hurdle.

As for why he went into seclusion for a month...

Within Cheng Xiao's mental world.

The Shadow and Undead Symbiosis system has successfully broken through the Star Sea!

The Space-Chaos Symbiotic System has successfully broken through the Star Sea!

The system of healing and spiritual symbiosis has successfully broken through the cosmos!

The three symbiotic systems successfully broke through from high-order star rivers to super-order star seas!

The third system is also a breakthrough to the sixth system!

In addition, Cheng Xiao also drank the medicinal water made from the thousand-year-old sacred lotus of Tianshan Mountain that had been left behind.

With the breakthrough of all three systems, Cheng Xiao's spiritual power also surged, breaking through from the peak of the sixth realm to the seventh realm.

With the added energy of the thousand-year-old Heavenly Mountain Sacred Lotus, he broke through to the eighth realm of spiritual cultivation in one fell swoop!

Previously, Cheng Xiao had been hiding in an independent space created by the "Dominator's Power".

Now that he has broken through the barrier, the aura that has suddenly become dozens of times stronger has shocked many people in the Holy City.

If it were merely a high-level breakthrough to the super-level, the aura wouldn't surge to this extent.

Bang! ! !

The gate to the villa was pushed open rather roughly.

A woman with dark skin, wearing a brightly colored veil and a golden silk robe, walked into the courtyard.

A forbidden-spell level figure. Cheng Xiao raised his eyes, looked at the woman slowly walking towards him, and asked:

"Have you come to me for a final interrogation?"

"You're innocent, so why are you questioning me?" the dark-skinned woman retorted.

"Then what are you here for?" Cheng Xiao asked, looking puzzled.

"My name is Far, the Holy City's Archangel of Punishment."

"I didn't ask your name."

Far stared at Cheng Xiao and said, "Tomorrow you will receive the baptism of holy light. Until then, I will be in charge of watching over you!"
