Heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river

Several days later,

Li Xijun went to the martial arts school to practice as usual, and his behavior was no different from usual.

Deng Gao's sudden disappearance didn't cause much of a stir. Some people said he traveled through time and became a martial arts master. After obtaining a martial arts degree, he was unwilling to be subservient to others and went out to make his way in the world. Others said he went to work for the Su family in maritime trade and made a lot of money.

On the contrary, Su Qiuzhen, this young nobleman, has attracted a lot of attention after repeatedly not showing his face. Some people have begun to have bad speculations, saying that money can be a powerful motivator and that someone might take the risk of murder and robbery.

However, none of these things concerned Li Xijun. He still didn't interact much with the outside world and focused on practicing martial arts.

No one suspected that he was involved in the affairs of Su Qiuzhen and Deng Gao.

After all, to outsiders, the two sides had no connection whatsoever, and Li Xijun was a well-known wealthy young man who had studied abroad in the martial arts school, so even Yu Xiangyang had no doubts.

Only in the main hall of the martial arts school's owner's residence, where Zhang Fuhu usually drank tea and recuperated from his injuries, seemed lost in thought after hearing the news. He turned back to continue reading the newspaper and playing with his birds, just as usual.

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

Until the day of the monthly exam at the start of the school term.

As the assembly bell rang,

Li Xijun and Ye Liuyun went downstairs to meet up and watch the flag-raising ceremony.

The sound of students discussing the exam could be heard.

He then remembered the scholarships and training resources that the top 100 students in his grade would receive under the "Ten Years to Cultivate People" training program.

While the students hadn't all gathered in the main square yet, and the scene was still noisy,

Li Xijun focused his consciousness, and the attribute panel naturally appeared before his eyes.

Name: Li Xijun

Age: 17

[Level: Apprentice Level 6]

[Qi and Blood Level: 6.4]

[Spiritual Level: 9.8]

[Refining Spirit System: Condensation Realm (8%)]

[Martial Arts Refinement System: Physical Realm (99%)]

[Technique:]

[Azure Dragon Sky-Piercing Technique: (Proficient 99%)]

[Detailed Explanation of the Spirit Refining Method for Opening the Mind and Sensing (100%)]

[Visualization Method: The Twenty-Four Grades of White Lotus Crossing the Netherworld (20% Proficient)]

【Tiger Subduing Bone Refining Technique (100% Proficient)】

[Martial Arts]

【True Martial Thirty-Six Forms (Mastery 29%)】

[Basic Knife Techniques: (Beginner 98%)]

[Convergence of the Heavens (0%)]

Looking at his absurdly low screen, Li Xijun couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"I thought I was just an ordinary martial arts genius with exceptional talent."

"I never imagined my talent for cultivating mental power would be even more outrageous!"

Previously, the Enlightenment stage primarily involved spiritual perception and manifestation, rather than cultivation and strengthening.

Therefore, Li Xijun's talent in the art of refining spirit is not yet apparent.

but,

When Li Xijun had spent less than 24 hours in total visualizing and practicing the entire "Twenty-Four Grades of White Lotus Crossing to Nirvana" painting,

Then, after comparing the books, I found that it takes an ordinary person a month to fully cultivate the intermediate-level meditation method.

He suddenly realized that his talent for refining spirit was so strong.

Later, after buying and reading books on spiritual cultivation from the Cunsi Association, I realized even more:

Ordinary people cultivate their spirit by reading the classics of the three religions, opening the ancestral aperture between their eyebrows, and enabling the manifestation of spiritual perception.

It possesses all the qualities and abilities of the Enlightenment Realm.

However, although the level has been reached...

This does not represent the original divine soul that manifested after they attained enlightenment.

They can be compared to someone like Li Xijun, whose divine soul level is 9.0.

Just like in "Douluo Continent", everyone awakens their martial soul. Ordinary people awaken with innate level two or three soul power, while Li Xijun directly has innate full soul power. Naturally, they are not on the same level in subsequent cultivation and improvement.

In particular, he spent most of those seven days focusing on cultivating his spirit.

As a result, his spirit level increased by 0.8 in one go.

He then realized directly that his original divine soul was so powerful that it brought him such an absurd talent for cultivation.

"At this rate, it's hard to say about martial arts training, but breaking through to the Silent Meditation Realm and becoming a True Person who can project spiritual power is almost a certainty."

"However, the martial arts training was a few days slower, but the skin and flesh have basically been trained."

"The remaining 1% of the flesh and skin realm requires external help. You need to be constantly hit during sparring to experience the feeling of the flesh and skin becoming one. Only then can you be considered to have achieved complete mastery."

"After the exam, I'll go back and spar with Senior Brother Yu for a while. I should be able to enter the Bone and Tendon Realm tonight."

Li Xijun was feeling quite pleased with herself for developing this month.

The crisp sound of heels hitting the steps came from the podium in the school's main square.

This left many students and Li Xijun somewhat puzzled.

Based on past experience, after the flag-raising ceremony, wouldn't a few middle-aged male leaders go on stage and say some repetitive things?

Then,

As the tall, elegant woman with nine heads and a purple hair ponytail appeared on the podium and in the eyes of the crowd...

The students of Yan'an No. 7 Middle School couldn't help but erupt in a deafening chorus of discussion and exclamations of surprise.

Only 20 days have passed since the previous Mythical Rift riot.

They were certainly impressed by this powerful being from the Outer Realm who had slain a Commander-level Mythical Relic with a single strike.

Many students in the elite class fantasize that the teacher who will come to guide them will be this powerful and beautiful older sister.

Unexpectedly, it actually came true!

At this moment, whether it was Li Xijun's Martial Arts Class 6 or the students from the other classes, they couldn't help but cast envious glances at the students in the Elite Class who were all smiles.

Zhou Yibai, who had awakened his martial arts spirituality and was standing in the elite class wearing a black nanosuit,

At this moment, he stood there without hesitation, looking around, thoroughly enjoying the sense of superiority he felt.

She was already fantasizing about being noticed by this stunning, purple-haired, mature female teacher, and being envied by the other students, especially Li Xijun.

On the contrary, Zhou Shenghao trembled the moment he saw the other person, and subconsciously put his hand on his stomach, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

Li Xijun recalled the day she watched the live stream, and how Zhang Haifeng looked on with envy and told her that she must show her talent and hopefully get instruction in swordsmanship from the on-location instructor.

"Su Nianying, a senior student at Qingquan Chunhui Hall in the Imperial Capital."

"From today onwards, I will be the mentor for the entire senior year of Yan'an No. 7 Middle School, responsible for guiding you through the college entrance examination."

This statement surprised many students, who were initially astonished that the other person had graduated from one of the top universities in the "Two Great Capitals of the Imperial City".

Then he realized something even more.

Shouldn't this powerful figure be the instructor of the elite class students? How come he's a senior high school student?

"Now, I'd like to talk about my teaching philosophy."

"The Human Federation is still not stable, and we still face countless crises in the mythical world."

"I came to this high school as a mentor for only one purpose:"

"That is to select the true geniuses!"

"Instead of those so-called martial arts geniuses who become complacent after awakening their martial arts spirit,"

"He is not just an ordinary genius who can only reach the level 9 of Qi and Blood before reaching his limit."

"But rather, a true prodigy who can truly satisfy me and challenge the record set by the legendary Wood Saint!"

Su Nianying's words caused a huge uproar at Yan'an No. 7 Middle School. School leaders and tens of thousands of students in the square couldn't help but discuss the matter.

However, this tall, purple-haired, mature woman still aloofly raised her face and calmly said:

"I know you don't understand my philosophy yet."

"But that's alright. We'll wait ten years until the 'Ten Years to Cultivate Talent' training program concludes."

"After you've experienced the college entrance exam, university, and the trials of the mythical world, you'll understand one thing:"

"When you are lucky enough to get into one of the thirty-three martial arts universities, you will find that the brilliance of the Nine Schools Alliance is overwhelming."

"If you truly ascend to the throne of the Nine Schools Alliance, look up and you'll see two suns soaring in the sky above the capital."

"Perhaps you are a true genius, the best among the two in the capital, but there are also like-minded people in the top universities of the Western Alliance of the Federation."

"When you finally become the most outstanding genius in this world, you will find that the seven Federation Saints have been waiting on the mountaintop for a long time. Heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river."

Su Nianying's arrogant words echoed in the sky above Yan'an No. 7 Middle School for a long time without fading away.

The senior high school students hadn't yet processed those words.

But the incredibly stressful and urgent monthly exams had already begun.

only,

When the afternoon's highlight, the martial arts combat assessment, arrived,

Both the martial arts students in Class 6 of the third year of high school and Li Xijun were astonished to discover that the examiner was actually Su Nianying...
