209: 39,000 Psychic Energy Stones

Shao Jingting and Li Yanhua were internally collapsing.

They just wanted to wait for Guo Feng to leave and then submit a mission.

One after another, elders from the Holy Lands, right in front of them, flattered Guo Feng.

And handed over one or two thousand, three or four thousand spiritual energy primordial stones to Guo Feng.

They didn't know if they were sick.

Their voices were incredibly loud.

Wave after wave of impact numbed Shao Jingting and the others.

“Ah, it’s finally over.”

After the last representative from the Miaojiang Holy Land was led away by Guo Dagang, Guo Feng smiled faintly and sighed, “It’s less than forty thousand spiritual energy primordial stones; these Holy Land elders just had to make such a big show of it.”

“It’s not hundreds of thousands or millions!”

“My three first-grade spiritual energy equipment combined are worth three hundred thousand spiritual energy primordial stones; this isn’t even a fraction of what my equipment is worth.”

He grumbled a bit, then looked at everyone, cupped his hands, “Classmates, I apologize for making you laugh, I’ll be leaving now!”

After he finished speaking, he strode out.

“Damn it, is that something a human would say?”

“Less than forty thousand spiritual energy primordial stones? Since when are spiritual energy primordial stones counted in tens of thousands?”

“What did he say? He has three first-grade spiritual energy equipment?”

“Guo Feng is too terrifying! I feel… he could directly cleave me to death with one strike!”

“Be confident, remove the words ‘I feel’.”

As soon as he left, everyone erupted in an uproar.

“Shao Jingting, Guo Feng is truly too heaven-defying now. I think we should still get along well with him…”

Li Yanhua’s heart and liver were numb with shock.

He felt that Guo Feng was even more formidable than a mentor now!

“Hmph!”

Shao Jingting’s face was stern, “He just got lucky. I’m telling you, in one’s life, talent is only the starting point.”

“However, acquired luck and effort determine a person’s end point!”

“Therefore…”

His gaze sharpened, “I, Shao Jingting, am also a person of extraordinary talent, and I’ve gained a lot in dangerous situations. My future will definitely not be worse than Guo Feng’s!”

“Alright.”

Li Yanhua’s mouth twitched, and he agreed.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but inwardly complain.

What if Guo Feng’s talent is heaven-defying, his luck is also heaven-defying, and he works even harder than you?

However, he didn't say it out loud.

The joy of their recent harvest was dispersed, and they headed to the mission hall with furrowed brows.

...

Around 8 PM.

Guo Feng and the crew had finished entertaining the representatives from the sixteen Holy Lands and sent them off.

The five of them walked out of the hotel together.

“Zhao Long, is your Wu Family’s secret art really that strange? It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already broken through the thirty-ninth level limit and reached level forty?”

Guo Feng looked at the silent Zhao Long, his heart also deeply shaken.

Zhao Long said calmly, “Yes.”

“Then your secret art is very profitable. I feel like you’ll be able to break through to level fifty in less than a year, and then your lifespan will be restored!”

Guo Feng was even a little tempted.

“Guo Feng, the Wu Family’s secret art isn’t that simple. It’s said that even if they break through to level fifty, while others have a lifespan limit of five hundred years, they only have fifty years at most.”

Wenren Tutu quickly shook her head.

Zhao Long, however, corrected her, “When I break through to level fifty, my lifespan will be restored by five years.”

“What?!”

Everyone was greatly astonished.

Zhao Long saw their surprise and said calmly, “In the past two days, I used the second phase of the secret art. My lifespan limit was reduced to one percent.”

“So, you only have a little over a year left to live now?”

Wenren Tutu exclaimed.

“To be precise, fifteen months.” Zhao Long remained very calm, “Last time, I exchanged for a hundredfold cultivation efficiency. This time, I exchanged for no bottlenecks and an efficiency increase to two hundredfold.”

“Zhao Long, do you really want to cleave me to death that badly?”

Guo Feng was stunned.

Zhao Long previously had several years of lifespan left, and after breaking through to level fifty, he might have lived for over a hundred years.

Now it’s come to this?

Zhao Long smiled calmly, “I don’t want to cleave you to death, but I must defeat you. For my mother, and for myself.”

“See you around.”

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

“Madman!”

Guo Dagang’s face was full of shock.

In this world, there are actually such people!

“I actually understand him.”

Lin Changyun looked at Zhao Long’s retreating figure, “I also asked him about this secret art, but he roughly explained the process.”

He shrugged, “I consider myself to have a strong enough will, but I wouldn’t dare to try it.”

“What exactly is the process?”

Guo Dagang quickly asked.

“I promised him I wouldn’t tell.”

Lin Changyun shook his head, “I can only say that there are a total of four processes, and for each process, the survival rate is less than one in a thousand.”

“What?!”

Guo Dagang and Wenren Tutu were both astonished.

Wenren Tutu took a while before saying, “No wonder no one from the Wu Family practiced this secret art before!”

“Forget it, that’s Zhao Long’s own choice. Who knows, maybe he’ll break through all the way?”

Guo Feng waved his hand, “This is also a pressure for me, which is a good thing.”

He changed the subject, “Alright, you all can rest now, and then follow me to join Shu University Spiritual Energy Academy. Since it’s the first intake, the admission requirements are very lenient. Four years from now, after you graduate, you can leave or stay as you wish.”

“No problem for me.”

Wenren Tutu quickly said with a smile, “Although I’m twenty-two, I really want to attend university.”

“Me too.” Guo Dagang also didn’t refuse.

“I’m going too!”

Lin Changyun quickly nodded, saying. He paused, looked at Guo Feng, and asked, “Do you want to ask Zhao Long? That kid is stubborn, but once he promises, he’s very committed.”

“No.”

Guo Feng shook his head, “He’s from the Lingneng Army Academy. I’m only participating in the World Genius Competition with him; we’re not on the same path.”

“Alright.”

Lin Changyun nodded.

“Alright, you all go back to your dorms. I’m going home for a bit. On the seventeenth, meet at Qingcheng Spirit Realm Square!”

After Guo Feng finished speaking, he summoned spirit world 9, got in the car, stepped on the accelerator, and sped towards Qinglong Lake Park.

...

Ten days later.

August 17th.

The fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month.

Clear.

Still 39 degrees Celsius.

Time passed quickly.

During these ten days, Guo Feng diligently cultivated, and the outside world also underwent significant changes.

Firstly, the Holy Land Martial Arts Hall began recruiting disciples in major cities.

Joining the Holy Land Martial Arts Hall meant becoming an outer disciple of the Holy Land, and excellent individuals could enter the Holy Land Martial Arts Hall for training at the city headquarters.

Those who passed the assessment could officially become true disciples in the Holy Land.

Moreover, besides paying a certain fee to join the martial arts hall, official outer disciples even received monthly subsidies.

They could also earn money by completing Holy Land missions!

This sparked heated discussions nationwide and even globally, triggering a surge in martial arts learning.

At the same time, the new generation of geniuses from the Holy Land fully entered society, accepting assignments from the Ministry of Education, the Lingneng Army, and the military.

All those aged twenty-four and below entered various Spiritual Energy Academies.

Those aged twenty-four and above either joined the army, took up positions, or became teachers.

And the one hundred and sixteen famous Spiritual Energy Academies nationwide uniformly started classes on August 18th.

“Spiritual Energy Academy has started classes. Next, I have two goals.”

“Lead Shu University Spiritual Energy Academy to dominate a spirit world.”

“Lead Lin Changyun and the crew to secure a seed team spot and win the World Genius Competition!”

“Of course, I’ll also visit two ancient sect ruins along the way to quickly upgrade the system level!”

Guo Feng finished his cultivation, pondered for a moment, then smiled and leaped up, “Panel!”

He also wanted to see the results of his cultivation over these ten days.
