77: The universal language of the space battlefield

Chen Qing, seeing him look so carefree, suddenly laughed and said, "Lao Fu, it seems you're very confident about making the list. Is this because your Cultivation has made some progress recently?"

Fu Mingyu, who had just been a little self-satisfied and wanted to show off to satisfy his vanity, since his Cultivation had indeed been incredibly fast recently, already having achieved a Breakthrough to the First Order Peak.

Since he started Cultivating, he had never experienced such a rapid period of Cultivation as he had recently.

It could also be considered a Breakthrough of his personal Cultivation limit.

But he suddenly realized that the guy next to him was Chen Qing!

The words that were on the tip of his tongue were suddenly swallowed back.

Several setbacks had given him a bit of PTSD.

Wait a minute! This guy only reached the First Order Peak a while ago, and I'm also at the First Order Peak now, why should I be afraid of him?

The next moment, he regained his smile and said, "Slight progress, slight progress. It's just that we're both in the same Realm now."

He was a bit 'Versailles', having learned it from Chen Qing, and now his boasting also had a certain method to it.

Chen Qing also looked at him, chuckling, and nodded in satisfaction.

But that look in Chen Qing's eyes made Fu Mingyu feel a bit uncomfortable, like a father looking at his son, with an expression of 'he's grown up'.

"Clean up your gaze! I'm warning you, we're in the same Realm now. If my Realm was lower than yours, I wouldn't be able to beat you, but now that we're in the same Realm, do you think I, Fu Mingyu, am easy to bully?

Believe it or not, I'll challenge you to a duel!"

The more this guy spoke, the more excited he became, looking eager to try, his eyes scanning Chen Qing, as if trying to gauge his strength.

Chen Qing felt like laughing; it seemed this guy was very dissatisfied with him!

Judging by this posture, he must have been holding it in for a long time, always wanting to beat him once to get even.

Chen Qing decided to grant his wish!

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll give you a chance to defeat me."

Fu Mingyu's eyes lit up, feeling like his spring had arrived!

"You said it! After class, let's not go to the Martial Arts Arena. Let's go directly to the Prism headquarters. For something like this, there must be witnesses, don't you think?"

Chen Qing was helpless; he had originally planned to just find a secluded corner to beat this guy up and be done with it, to spare the kid some embarrassment.

But this guy was rushing to throw his own face on the ground!

Well, then he couldn't blame himself.

While the two were talking, Zhao Yuanyue, dressed in a cool casual outfit, walked into the classroom.

Seeing Fu Mingyu's secretly delighted expression, she asked Chen Qing what this guy was up to, confused.

Chen Qing recounted the challenge, which immediately made Zhao Yuanyue's expression strange.

She blinked at Chen Qing, meaning, 'Are you serious?'

Chen Qing nodded.

Zhao Yuanyue was expressionless, looking at Fu Mingyu with the gaze one would give an idiot.

There wasn't much sympathy in her eyes, because idiots weren't worthy of her sympathy!

Chen Qing no longer paid attention to Fu Mingyu, who was secretly pondering on the side, and asked Zhao Yuanyue about her situation: "Yuanyue, I heard from Lao Fu that you had a conflict with people from other schools when you went out this time?"

Zhao Yuanyue crossed her arms, her expression not very good: "Just a good-for-nothing. We met before the mission and agreed to do the mission together. Whoever eliminated the target first would be considered to have completed the mission.

But afterwards, she wouldn't admit it, insisting that I cheated.

Heh, she really thinks I'm easy to mess with. I didn't beat her to death only because she didn't beg for mercy!

She still had some backbone, so I just taught her a lesson and let her go."

Chen Qing was helpless; with that fiery temper, she almost beat someone to death. Fortunately, she didn't cause any major trouble.

"It's fine as long as you didn't kill her. In the future, if you encounter such a situation, you can notify me first. If something happens, I'll find someone to cover for you."

Zhao Yuanyue didn't respond. She wasn't someone who liked to trouble others; she had her own responsibilities and pride... The two didn't chat for long before the general language course began.

The teacher for their class was a young female teacher, quite pretty and sweet-voiced.

The school was good at arranging teachers; language classes were important, and many people attended, so they specifically arranged teachers with good appearances.

The female teacher, Teacher Liu Siyao, was currently discussing the developmental history of the common language of the Space Battlefield.

"The Federation was established 327 years ago. Initially, we knew nothing about the languages of other races in the Space Battlefield. In the subsequent wars and massacres, we gradually began to understand and learn their languages. During that period, there was no common language, or more accurately, the common language had not yet become popular.

Approximately several decades later, we discovered that, at some unknown point, many races in the Space Battlefield began to use a common language for communication, replacing their original languages.

Subsequently, we humans also joined in and began to use the common language.

Initially, it was just used, but as time went on, we began to research this language and gradually discovered something.

This language is not as simple as we thought, but a mature and systematic language!

What is a systematic language?

Take our own language, for example; Chinese has a history of thousands of years, and its antiquity can be seen from the language itself.

The common language is also like this!

It can even be said that the common language is not 'younger' than Chinese!"

"Teacher, do you mean that the common language didn't appear out of thin air, but is a language that has existed for a long time?" Chen Qing asked.

He was very interested in the common language because he suspected that the language spoken by the people in the convoy he encountered on the second floor of the Ice God Space might be the common language.

Teacher Liu Siyao nodded at him: "Exactly! According to research, this is most likely an ancient language. Its specific age cannot be verified, but it is certainly not a new language formed overnight.

Therefore, many people suspect that this common language might have been spread by an ancient race!

And to have the ability to spread a language throughout the entire Space Battlefield is enough to show that this race is extremely powerful!"

Chen Qing frowned; this was indeed true.

If the age of this language is very ancient, then the truthfulness of this conjecture can almost be said to be a sure thing.

The formation of a systematic language is very difficult to complete in a very short period of time.

In other words, throughout the entire Space Battlefield, there might exist an extremely powerful super race, one that is powerful enough, and ancient enough, possessing profound cultural and Dao foundations.

"Teacher, have humans explored such a race?"

Teacher Liu Siyao shook her head: "No. With humanity's current capabilities, we are not yet sufficient to explore such a powerful race.

Over the years, many human pioneers have wanted to research this common language more deeply, and many sages have died on the path of exploration!

Even today, we can only barely analyze and use this language, and have no clue about its origin."

This is like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads; you know that there probably exists a race that might be above all other races in the Space Battlefield, but you are limited by your own strength and can only pretend not to know or care.

The fear of the unknown always weighs heavily on people's hearts.
