164: To fight for, to grab

Professor Wan Heng left.

The fifty-six students of the Super God Class all had serious expressions.

Among them were people from humble backgrounds, as well as many descendants of generals and financial magnates, but the moment they stepped into this class, all of that became insignificant.

The only important thing was that they were the future of the Human Race!

Xiao Fan's teammates had already chosen their mentors before arriving. Professor Liu Qingyang excitedly ran over and took Xiao Dingdong, while Xiao Fan himself eagerly headed towards the Scripture Pavilion.

Everyone agreed to meet in the evening to begin team training, and they also made an appointment with Ling Tianlei for a few practice matches once they had sufficiently gelled!

The Dao leading from the Super God Class to the Scripture Pavilion was called Cherry Blossom Avenue, with pink and dazzling cherry blossom trees lining both sides of the street.

Pink stamens danced in the wind, falling onto the seemingly endless street.

Walking on the street, Xiao Fan's heart stirred immensely.

He felt a profound sense of history; beneath his feet was the street where Hegemon Martial Emperor, Tianhong Martial Emperor, and countless other revered martyrs had walked.

At this moment, these generations of powerhouses seemed to have transformed into the cherry blossom trees on either side, greeting him with smiles, welcoming his arrival!

Just then, he finally reached the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.

On this magnificent and ancient hall, a line of inspiring characters was carved with vigorous strokes, like a Dragon and a snake!

“I was born a mountain, not a stream; I was born a hero, not a blade of grass. I stand on the shoulders of giants, looking down on humble cowards. I will stand at the peak of the mountains, with my back to all peaceful beings!”

Xiao Fan chuckled, thinking that he was becoming more easily moved now.

It seemed it wasn't that he had changed, but that this academy carried too much; every street, every pavilion, every training ground had witnessed countless splendid stories—the spiritual Legacy left by countless peerless powerhouses who stood at the pinnacle of humanity.

Anyone who could feel even a thousandth of this magnificent emotion would find it hard not to be moved.

Xiao Fan stepped into the Scripture Pavilion; it was very quiet, with bright but not harsh lighting, very warm and comfortable.

The guardian of the Scripture Pavilion was a middle-aged scholar. He was reading a book, his posture not standard—no, it should be said, very non-standard, his feet almost propped on the table—but his reading eyes were very bright.

Hearing footsteps, he didn't bother to pretend to be serious. He looked up, glanced at Xiao Fan's ID card on his chest, and asked, “Student Xiao, which Martial Arts book would you like to buy?”

“Heavenly Heart and Six Viscera,” Xiao Fan said earnestly.

“Six Viscera…” Ke Huaimin frowned slightly, not expecting this newly promoted Super Genius to buy such an obscure Martial Arts.

“Do you want to use your only 30% discount?”

“Yes!”

“Alright, let me swipe your ID card.” Ke Huaimin took the ID card, which only had 30,000 super god points, and swiped it on the operating System in front of him.

Then, from the vast Scripture Pavilion, an ancient book flew out towards the door and landed in Ke Huaimin's hand.

He handed it to Xiao Fan and said indifferently, “The ‘comprehension’ inside is only enough for you to comprehend once. Remember to return the ancient book when you're done.”

Hearing this, Xiao Fan asked in surprise, “Does that mean this Martial Arts isn't mine yet? I spent 100,000, just to comprehend the essence of the Martial Arts once?”

Ke Huaimin twitched his mouth and said, “You're not still thinking of taking this Divine-Grade Martial Arts out to resell, are you?”

Xiao Fan quickly coughed to cover his guilt and said, “No, no.”

“But if it can only be used once, there's no point in me returning it.”

He was still thinking of taking the Martial Arts back and keeping it for himself!

But Ke Huaimin shook his head and said, “I'll just replenish it again, won't I?”

“This… alright.” Xiao Fan was a little puzzled, thinking, can the power of “comprehension” be replenished just like that?

Finally, Xiao Fan scanned the Heavenly Heart and Six Viscera, and the System recorded it, beginning automatic Cultivation. It would be perfected in about two weeks.

Seeing that Xiao Fan had fully comprehended the Martial Arts just by scanning it, Ke Huaimin's brows furrowed slightly as he watched Xiao Fan leave.

Afterward, he lowered his head and flipped through the Heavenly Heart and Six Viscera. A strange light flashed in his pupils, and in less than a minute, a new power of “comprehension” appeared in the dim ancient book. He then tossed it back into the Scripture Pavilion.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, he called the President.

“Huaimin, what's wrong?” Leaf Yanan's strong voice came through.

Ke Huaimin frowned and asked, “Old Ye, I've actually been very curious about something.”

“If Xiao Fan is the controller of the seventh power, then why isn't he Myth-Grade?”

“Why is his power different from that of Ying Zheng and Xi He?”

Leaf Yanan smiled. Ke Huaimin was one of his own, and very close to Chen Changsheng, so he didn't hide anything.

He said indifferently, “What Chen Changsheng told me is that this power is an extra power, completely different from the previous six.”

“The structure of this power comes from his wish when he underwent his Awakening eighteen years ago.”

“What was his wish?” Ke Huaimin raised an eyebrow.

“This power doesn't need to be strong, but it needs to possess infinite possibilities, like a Miracle, falling upon the most suitable and most in-need young man.”

“But at that time, after Chen Changsheng made this wish, no anomaly appeared. Chen Changsheng thought he had failed.”

“It wasn't until eleven years ago that it suddenly appeared in Green Leaf City. After foreign spies received the news, they immediately launched a surprise attack on Green Leaf City to find that power.”

“Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng immediately rushed there, and before going, he once again used all his power to make a second wish: that power must be reasonably concealed and hidden, imperceptible to anyone, including himself!”

“It's a pity… Chen Changsheng arrived late, leading to the sacrifice of Xiao Fan's parents. He has never dared to tell Xiao Fan about this.”

“Actually, at that time, he didn't know who possessed that power either.”

“It wasn't until Xiao Fan began to show his talent later that he confirmed that the power was with Xiao Fan.”

“Originally, Chen Changsheng still wanted to keep it hidden, but what Xiao Fan did later was too incredible—snatching a Legacy from Xi He's hands. Everyone saw it, so it definitely couldn't be hidden anymore. He simply decided to lay all cards on the table.”

Zhang Huaimin's expression was complex as he said, “Then should we allocate more resources to Xiao Fan?”

“No need. That would be unfair to others. Only through fair competition can true powerhouses be forged. Favoritism would only affect the atmosphere of the entire Super God Class and create enemies for Xiao Fan.”

“Moreover, all powerhouses from ancient times to the present have carved out their own Dao through their own struggles and efforts.”

“It has never been said that whoever possesses a certain power can achieve everything. Is the Planet Will on Ying Zheng and Xi He any weaker than Xiao Fan's? Then why not favor them?”

“Is the talent of Zhuge Tianming and Kong Fangxiang necessarily weaker than the power of the Planet Will?”

“Is a person's future destined from birth? Will those without Planet Will, or even without Myth-Grade talent, necessarily not be strong enough in the future?”

“We only need to ensure fairness!”

“The rest, they will fight for and seize themselves!”

Ke Huaimin nodded earnestly.

Every Genius in this Super God Class was a Dragon among men, a protagonist archetype in previous generations. The Lord of Jail even believed that Ghost Seven could reach Chen Changsheng's height in the future.

The reason humanity has come this far is because their frail bodies contain infinite possibilities!

What Chen Changsheng did was merely add another contestant to this grand stage!

PS: I really didn't dare to send this chapter after writing it, but then I thought, it's better to die sooner rather than later, so I just sent it!
