Chapter 351 "I'll Do It"
"It's been so long since I've had such a satisfying meal."
Jiang Yuan walked out of the cafeteria and stretched comfortably.
Qin Longyao watched his retreating figure and sighed, "He ate so much meat from ferocious beasts rich in the essence of heaven and earth, yet he's completely unharmed. What a freak!"
At night, the academy is brightly lit, and students in Kunlun Academy uniforms come and go in various styles, some in groups and some alone.
They were all busy with their own cultivation, monster hunting, and competition with each other. Their passionate and youthful spirit was no different from that of the students at Shenwu Academy.
It is worth mentioning that.
A series of streaks of light flashed across the sky, all of them belonging to academy students riding flying swords.
"That's...?" Jiang Yuan asked with some interest.
Flying on a sword is not a difficult thing in today's world. Apart from martial artists who have awakened their talent for manipulating objects, psychic ability users can also do it easily.
But obviously there won't be as many as here, and none so synchronized...
"That's an intelligent flying sword developed by the Academy's Mechanical Department. It can be powered by a magical beast core, and even ordinary warriors can use it."
Qin Longyao explained.
"However, it is still in the trial stage, but I think it will be fully rolled out soon."
"That would cause the price of air shuttles to drop."
Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "Tianwu Group probably doesn't want to see this technology become widespread."
Tianwu Group is truly the largest air shuttle manufacturer in Xia Kingdom, with its industries spread all over the world.
At the same time, they are also outside of the ten major families in the capital.
It is one of the top non-state-owned entities in the country. Every director on its board is a prominent figure in their respective fields.
The Tianwu Guild, which the Tianwu Group has spared no expense in cultivating, ranks among the top five even among the dozen or so S-level guilds nationwide.
Qin Longyao nodded. "Not long ago, Tianwu Group sent people to negotiate, wanting to acquire it at a high price, but the academy refused."
"Given Tianwu Group's style of doing things, they probably won't let this go so easily."
"It shouldn't be that bad; Kunlun Academy is, after all, one of the four major universities."
Jiang Yuan didn't say anything more.
while walking.
Suddenly, a group of students gathered in front of them caught their attention.
Take a closer look.
It turned out that the students were all gathered around a crystal that was about the height of a person and emitted a faint light. A burly boy with red curly hair was holding a large knife and was itching to strike.
The students around him were all looking on with anticipation.
"That's Star Residue Stone, a product obtained from the Starry Sky Secret Realm controlled by the academy. Occasionally, special metals from outer space and ferocious pet eggs can be found inside, increasing their value many times over..."
Qin Longyao explained.
"Similar to gambling on jade?"
"More or less."
Jiang Yuan became slightly interested and looked closely. He found that the material of the star bone stone was somewhat special. It seemed to be the bone of some kind of alien species in the starry sky, exuding a very ancient abyssal aura, but it was extremely subtle and hidden.
【Drip】
The Hundred-Refined Divine Machine, which had transformed into a wristwatch, trembled slightly, and Xiao Hei's voice rang in Jiang Yuan's mind.
[Master, life fluctuations detected in that star remnant stone]
"Oh?"
Jiang Yuan was slightly surprised and looked again, but this time he activated the [Eyes That See Through All Things].
In an instant.
He discerned the star-like stone radiating mysterious starlight; its interior was hollow, and a worm egg was curled up inside.
"That is..."
Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered.
At this moment, the students watching were discussing it animatedly.
"I never expected that School Beauty Li would obtain such a large Star Bone Stone after entering the secret realm. She's incredibly lucky!"
"If this were sold, I reckon someone would buy it for tens of millions."
"I wonder if I'll get any good treasures from it."
The burly, red-haired man turned to the beautiful woman in traditional Chinese clothing beside him and grinned, "Nan Yin, really not considering selling yourself to me?"
Wearing a light blue Hanfu, Li Nanyin snorted coldly, "Nonsense, do you think I'm short of money? I finally managed to get such a big one. If you want it, go grind for it yourself."
"It was just a joke, why are you so angry? Are you still upset about not being selected for the national war?"
Whoosh!
A cold gaze swept over us, carrying a chilling aura.
The burly, red-haired boy quickly raised his hand.
"OK, I'll shut up."
He raised his broadsword, which glowed crimson, and slashed down fiercely.
"Crimson Lotus Slash!"
This strike was incredibly powerful, unleashing a crimson blade of light that stretched for tens of meters.
Ping!
A very crisp sound of metal clashing rang out.
The red-haired, burly boy's large sword was deflected, while the Star Stone remained unmoved.
Upon witnessing this scene.
The onlookers, including Qin Longyao, were somewhat surprised.
"This Star Remains Stone is so hard that even Senior Chi Tian's Crimson Lotus Slash couldn't break it?"
"Senior Chi Tian is among the top ten in the entire school, and his attack power ranks among the top three martial artists. If even he can't break through..."
"Then we'll have to ask our advisor for help."
The burly, red-haired boy felt a sharp pain in his hand from the impact, and also felt somewhat humiliated.
Especially after the beautiful Li Nanyin in the Han-style dress glanced at him sideways, her red lips slightly raised, and said, "Are you even capable?", he became extremely angry and embarrassed.
"I wasn't serious before, but now I'm going to get serious."
After saying that, he took a sudden step forward, and the ground beneath his feet immediately shattered and caved in.
The Wrath of the Overlord
A surging crimson aura erupted from beneath his feet, like ocean waves crashing. His muscles bulged and his already nearly two-meter-tall frame grew even larger. The crimson greatsword in his hand was enveloped in intense, blazing light, giving him an astonishing presence.
"It's Senior Chitian's Overlord's Wrath! Strength attribute has increased by 2.5 times!"
"It's not over yet!"
boom!
Chi Tian's eyes turned blood red, and he let out a low growl.
"It's [Crimson Roar]! The unique skill of the Skywrath Knight!" everyone exclaimed.
"Could Senior Chitian's full-force attack possibly reach 200 points of Dao power?"
"200 points of Dao power was Senior Chi Tian's record half a year ago. Now it's definitely much higher. I guess it can reach 230 points."
"Hiss, that's 2.3 million damage, enough to kill a Tier 5 elite monster instantly. No wonder he's one of the top three geniuses in the whole school in terms of attack."
"Senior Chi Tian is only at the fifth level. When he reaches the sixth level, he may really be qualified to fight Senior Chen Xi."
"As a fellow warrior-type class, I now realize just how valuable this is; it's truly beyond my reach."
Even among geniuses, there are differences…
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Chi Tian finished charging up his power, his eyes shooting out red light several meters long. He gripped his broadsword with both hands and slashed down fiercely.
"Bloodthirsty Strike!"
Clang!
Another extremely crisp collision sound rang out.
The powerful shockwave forced the students watching to retreat several meters.
The ground beneath the Star Remains Stone collapsed completely, but the Star Remains Stone itself remained unharmed.
"How is that possible!"
Chi Tian's eyes widened in disbelief.
He had split open starstones before, but had never encountered anything so hard.
"So you're no good either," Li Nanyin's heavenly voice rang out, tinged with a slight chuckle.
"also?"
Chi Tian was taken aback. "You already tried it?"
Li Nanyin didn't answer. Instead, she walked to the star fragment stone, reached out and stroked it, saying, "The top three attack power in the whole school seems to be nothing special. It's not much different from mine. Anyway, I can't split it open. It seems I can only ask my tutor for help."
As she spoke, she spotted Qin Longyao not far away outside the crowd, and her eyes lit up instantly.
"Professor Qin, you're here too."
"Ah, um, I just happened to be passing by here," Qin Longyao replied.
"Perfect timing, could you help me split this Star Remains Stone?" Li Nanyin smiled radiantly.
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Qin Longyao's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
She is currently only a sixth-level martial artist, a cultural teacher who teaches battlefield skills and teamwork, not a practical combat instructor. In terms of combat strength, she is probably not much different from Chi Tian.
Even he was helpless against the Star Remains Stone, so he probably couldn't split it open himself.
"I'll do it."
A voice came from the side.
Li Nanyin turned her head and noticed Jiang Yuan standing next to Qin Longyao.
She was stunned for a moment.
I initially thought he was just a student watching, but upon closer inspection, I realized he was a complete stranger.
They don't seem like students from this school either.
after all.
If there were such a handsome and outstanding boy in the school, she couldn't possibly not know about him.
"So handsome, and he has such a great body... *gulp*." One girl stared wide-eyed, unable to resist swallowing hard.
"He has heterochromia, so cool!"
"I've never seen you before. Are you a student from another school?"
"I heard that a national war player from Shenwu Academy is visiting today. Could he be a prodigy from Shenwu Academy?"
"Possibly!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Standing over 1.9 meters tall with a slender and upright figure, Jiang Yuan walked with one hand in his pocket to the suspended star remnant stone the size of a human head.
"Even Senior Chi Tian couldn't split open the Star Bone Stone, can he?"
"It feels a bit risky. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be a combat type; he's more like a support or mage type."
"What is he reaching out for? Is he planning to do it barehanded?"
"Pfft. That's hilarious."
Jiang Yuan raised a finger and flicked it towards the star remnant stone.
Snapped!
The Star Remains Stone exploded completely, turning into dust.
Jiang Yuan caught the glistening insect egg falling from the air and said to Li Nanyin, who hadn't yet reacted:
"Are you selling this?"
