The Eternal World

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

In this half a month, nothing special had happened.

And according to Elder Qin, even the previously active Shadow Squad had become much quieter.

However, these things did not have much to do with Zhang Chao for the time being. In this half month, his body was swiftly recovering, and in the process of refining with Xiao Nan, his standards of refining had increased by leaps and bounds.

Xiao Nan was also very surprised. In terms of refining, Zhang Chao could even be called a genius.

Especially in Zhang Chao's understanding of materials used in equipment forging, his attainments were much higher than hers.

What Zhang Chao lacked the most was the accumulation of experience.

In fact, Xiao Nan had no doubt that if Zhang Chao were to continue in the area of artifact forging, he would reach a level similar to himself before too long, or even … Surpassing himself!

However, Zhang Chao was very modest. Even if it was something that he had comprehended a long time ago, he would still seek confirmation from Xiao Nan.

To him, this was a rare opportunity. He couldn't afford to lose it!

To have a Five Cauldrons Forger by his side and a beautiful lady guiding him, who would receive such treatment?

However, there was no banquet that did not disperse.

After half a month, Zhang Chao had completely recovered.

It was also time for him to leave this place and return to the War God Academy that he had not seen for a long time.

The process of bidding farewell was not that complicated. After all, Xiao Nan and the others would return to the Academy soon, and they would meet again very soon.

As for Elder Qin, after praising him for a while, he personally sent him out of the newly renovated main gate of the Yun Gu Sacred Land's manor.

Zhang Chao returned to the War God Academy.

The shadow of a famous tree, he came before the mountain gate and hugged his name, then was immediately allowed to pass. Two unfamiliar outer disciples respectfully brought him into the academy.

Although he didn't have much feelings for the academy, he was still in a good mood after coming back.

After all, there were many familiar faces here, and they had even fought together in the past. Coming back here would allow him to find some feeling of the Xu Family.

"Hahaha, Zhang Chao, you're finally back!" When Zhang Chao was not far away, he saw a person standing right next to him with a smile on his face.

"Senior Brother Zhou Ran? How did you know I was back? " Zhang Chao was startled. When he returned to the Academy, no one would notify him in advance.

"Hehe, senior brother, let me calculate with my fingers!" Zhou Ran walked forward, he was still fat, but his cultivation had improved by a lot compared to a year ago.

"Damn, Senior Brother, do you still have the ability to do that?" Zhang Chao was a little surprised.

"Haha, I lied to you. You really believe me? If I had the ability, would I still need to stay in the side chamber? I just happened to pass by, and didn't expect to meet you! " Zhou Ran laughed and patted Zhang Chao's shoulder: "No matter what, since you are able to return, I, Senior Brother, am extremely happy.

"Damn, it's still going on, isn't it? Isn't it a bit too exaggerated?" Zhang Chao pursed his lips.

"Why not? When our seniors and juniors came back and told us all about your heroic deeds, our blood boiled with regret. We regretted not being able to go with you to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Worms. Zhou Ran held Zhang Chao's shoulders, and said that as they walked towards the academy, as if they were two close friends who hadn't seen each other in years.

Seeing that, the two gatekeepers who sent Zhang Chao in had no choice but to obediently leave.

Along the way, Zhang Chao learned about War God Academy's situation this year from Zhou Ran.

In general, the academy was as peaceful as ever.

An example would be the Ten Thousand Worms Abyss, which rarely happened in the academy. It could even be said that it happened only once in a hundred years, and it was just a coincidence that Zhang Chao managed to catch it.

As for those freshmen, after a year of tempering, many of them had even surpassed their seniors and displayed their own glory.

"Oh right, senior brother, are there ten jades s in our side chamber too?" Zhang Chao thought of this question and asked.

"Yes, of course. It's just that you went on a rescue mission not long after entering the academy, so you don't know much about this area!" Zhou Ran continued to spout out out: "It's just that, the title of ten jades, is only used to refer to the ten peak existences of Elite Hall!"

"The ten strongest people in the main hall are known as' Ten Zhuo ', meaning' outstanding '. As for those in the side chamber, they mean' outstanding '!"

"To be honest, this time, among the new students, there are quite a few powerful people. A few of them even rushed into the ranks of the top ten, and are regarded as having hopes of breaking through Yuan Dan Stage and entering the main hall this year, becoming the outstanding talents of our War God Academy's official disciples!"

"Oh? There's actually such a powerful freshman? " Zhang Chao was surprised.

How long had it been?

It's only been a year!

Entrance of a new student, even if someone had suppressed their cultivation before, it would only be at Energy Accumulation Realm. But in merely a year, not only did they break through to transformational stage, they even had to breakthrough to the Yuan Dan Stage?

Isn't that too heaven-defying?

"That's right. Back then, they displayed their stunning performance. Not only did they shock us students, even many of the teachers and elders were shocked as well!" Zhou Ran sighed and nodded: "There are even some people who say that the War God Academy has ushered in a new generation of the golden age, and that you are the symbol of this golden age's opening!"

"Damn, don't say it like that. You're praising me too much!" Zhang Chao quickly waved his hand, what did he count as, could he become the creator of an era?

"No, no, of course it's related to you. After all, it's because your performance was too outstanding that these new students set you as their goal and put in all their effort to cultivate!" Zhou Ran shrugged his shoulders and said, "To be honest, I've stayed in the War God Academy for nine years and have seen several batches of new students. I've never seen anyone with so many talents!"

"Right, among the new students, there should be a person called Dong Long who can enter the top ten, right?" Zhang Chao suddenly thought of this weird guy.

"Dong Long?" Zhou Ran frowned, as if he had thought about it for a long time. Finally, he shook his head: "No, the person you're talking about, should be a sissy that isn't male or female, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's him. His strength is extremely strong, how is that possible …." Zhang Chao was a little surprised.

He is indeed very powerful, but half a year ago, he went out on a mission and did not return. He also sent some students to search for him, but they were still unable to find him. Zhou Ran said with some regret: "If nothing unexpected happened, I'm afraid he would have the power to rush into the top ten!"

"Of course, I have personally experienced Dong Long's power!" Zhang Chao nodded. According to Tang Wan, this Dong Long was most likely the same as her, an outsider who had hidden his true strength.

Furthermore, he did not believe that Dong Long would die, and was sure that something would happen. But no matter what, he did not like this strange fellow at all.

"Oh right, who are the current top 10?" Zhang Chao asked curiously.

Zhou Ran recited the names of those ten people in one breath.

As for Zhou Ran himself, he was also in the top ten, and was placed in the ninth place.

As for the others, three of the freshmen had already charged in.

were Dongfang Qiuxin who was ranked tenth, Liu Shang who was ranked seventh, and Liu Shang who was ranked fifth … Qiao Ruixue!

Meng Gu, whom Zhang Chao recognized, was that sloppy-looking drunkard.

But he did not expect that out of all the people that came from Can City, two of them had managed to make it into the top ten.

Moreover, Dongfang Qiuxin had always been a strange person, so being able to rank tenth was within Zhang Chao's expectations.

But this Qiao Ruixue girl... She was actually able to enter fifth place!

He had thought that when he met Qiao Ruixue, both of their cultivations were not high.

At that time, Zhang Chao had only just stepped into the ranks of cultivators, and he was at most at the second or third level of Natal Opening Realm.

And on the Qiaoyao Mountain, Zhang Chao's cultivation had once surpassed Qiao Ruixue's, and his strength was rising at an extremely fast rate. Every time he raised his cultivation level, there would be large chunks of it.

He thought that he was already defying heaven's will, but he didn't expect that Qiao Ruixue was even defying heaven's will than him.

In just a short year's time, this Qiao Ruixue had actually dashed all the way from ninth level of the Natal Opening Realm, and became an existence of Peak Essence Transformation Stage.

What kind of miracle medicine did this girl eat?

Zhang Chao felt very confused. If he could meet her in a while, he would have to figure out this mystery!

Just as they were speaking, Zhou Ran and Zhang Chao had arrived in front of the Main Affairs Pavilion's entrance.

"Zhang Chao, go, return to the academy, and report for students, but this time there is a different deacon, which is a good person, his name is Elder Sen, after you sign your name, he will inform the higher ups of the academy that you have returned!" Zhou Ran told his.

"Alright!" Zhang Chao walked into the Main Pavilion.

At this moment, several academies ran over.

"Senior brother Zhou Ran, who did you come with?"

"That's right, it's still that intimate. Senior Brother Zhou Ran, could it be that you like Long Yang's personality?"

"Bullshit!" It's Zhang Chao coming back, I brought him here to sign for it, what are you brats thinking about? " Zhou Ran started to curse loudly.

"Ah?" Senior Brother Zhang Chao is back? " The few students were startled at first, but immediately became respectful, and even added the word "Senior" at the end of the title of Zhang Chao.

However, they were not freshmen, and were much older than Zhang Chao.

However, in their hearts, it had always been those who were capable first. Thus, they did not care about the title of 'seniority'.

Before long, Zhang Chao walked out with a smile all over his face.

"How is it? Is it done? " Zhou Ran greeted.

"Yes, this Elder Sen is really passionate. He is much stronger than that Mister Ouyang from before!" Zhang Chao shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Is that comparable?" Zhou Ran raised an eyebrow, then placed a finger on his lips to remind him: "It's best not to mention the name of Mister Ouyang here, it's already become forbidden!"

"Well, why? Because he did something rebellious? " Zhang Chao scratched his head.

"No, because from Mr. Ouyang, we found another line that involved something very important …" When Zhou Ran said till this point, he looked at the surrounding students and immediately shut his mouth. Then, he winked at Zhang Chao as if hinting to him that he shouldn't let others hear his words ….
