151: Chapter 148 The Pride of Huguang [Second Update]

"Within three days, if any Sky-Patrol Martial Artist is willing to take you as Disciples, they will naturally contact you," Senior Su Lang said in a gentle voice. "If no Sky-Patrol Martial Artist takes the initiative to accept Disciples within three days, the Alliance will make assignments after three days."

"Everyone can also rest assured."

"You are all rare martial arts geniuses of the Alliance. Even if a teacher is assigned, the Sky-Patrol Martial Artist will still teach you wholeheartedly." Senior Su Lang prepared them in advance.

"Alright."

"Everyone can chat for a bit longer, return to your personal space, or leave the Tianlan Realm." As Senior Su Lang's voice fell, his figure quietly disappeared. Among the hundreds of contestants in the square, except for Williams and a few others...

Most people were not in a hurry to leave; instead, they began talking with each other.

"Haha, I'm really lucky. I stopped at the fourth round, but I didn't expect to be teleported here as well and even selected for the legendary potential list."

"I took a look. Everyone who broke into the fifth round is on the list... Dozens of people were also selected from the fourth round, adding up to about three hundred people."

"There are quite a lot of people."

"Not many at all. To really put it, the three hundred of us can be considered the three hundred most outstanding martial arts geniuses selected by the Alliance this year." Everyone continuously communicated.

In a corner of the square.

"I didn't expect that so many people have already entered the sect of Sky-Patrol Martial Artists," Yan Tianheng said with quite a bit of emotion.

"There really are a lot." Fang Yu was also surprised.

"Don't be surprised."

"You have just been staying in Huguang Province all this time, so you find Sky-Patrol Martial Artists taking Disciples to be rare." Zhuang Yiliu's voice sounded. She was not far from Fang Yu and Yan Tianheng.

Fang Yu and Yan Tianheng looked at Zhuang Yiliu.

"At Xinyue Martial Arts University, you often hear of people entering the sects of Sky-Patrol Martial Artists," Zhuang Yiliu said. "Generally speaking, those who are relatively outstanding among Tier 2 Starry Sky Seeds can all enter the sects of Sky-Patrol Martial Artists, but they might not necessarily become Personal Disciples."

"Take you, Yan Tianheng, for example. Under an environment like Huguang Martial Arts University, you were still able to break into the Peak Battle. There will definitely be Sky-Patrol Martial Artists willing to accept you as a Disciple," Zhuang Yiliu said. "Whether you are willing to apprentice depends on yourself as well."

"However, since we both came out of Huguang Province, let me remind you."

"Unless it is extremely unsuitable, otherwise, you should still try as much as possible to enter the sect of the Sky-Patrol Martial Artist who took the initiative to contact you," Zhuang Yiliu said.

"Many thanks," Yan Tianheng said.

In terms of strength, Zhuang Yiliu might not be much stronger than Yan Tianheng... but in terms of vision, Zhuang Yiliu was clearly much higher.

Fang Yu also understood Zhuang Yiliu's meaning... A Sky-Patrol Martial Artist who was willing to take the initiative to accept a Disciple showed that they liked them, and teaching would naturally be more attentive. As for the assigned ones...

Although that Senior Su Lang said they would teach "wholeheartedly".

However, when a matter needed to be specially mentioned, it could instead better explain that assigned teachers were not as attentive as those who took the initiative to accept Disciples.

"Like Level 1 Starry Sky Seeds, they can definitely enter the sects of Sky-Patrol Martial Artists, and they are definitely Personal Disciples," Zhuang Yiliu smiled and said. "Like me, I had already apprenticed before the tournament."

"And you."

"Fang Yu... you should have undergone the secondary Awakening by now, right?" Zhuang Yiliu asked.

"Mn." Fang Yu did not hide it either.

"How many star acupoints?" Zhuang Yiliu was curious.

"81," Fang Yu said.

This was the "data" that Ye Yungui transmitted to Fang Yu, telling Fang Yu to announce it to the outside world. Compared to the true number of 102 star acupoints, it had already shrunk significantly. After all, the further along the number of star acupoints, the greater the difficulty of wanting even one more.

"What? 81?" Yan Tianheng was shocked.

"81?" A trace of surprise also flashed in Zhuang Yiliu's eyes.

Seeing this, Fang Yu wasn't surprised either.

With an Upper Astral Constellation, Awakening another 81 star acupoints, looking across the entire Blue Moon Alliance, can still be called top-tier Star Phase and star acupoint talent... Like the 300 people on the potential list of this session, I'm afraid there weren't many whose number of star acupoints could reach 80.

"Fang Yu."

"You must seize the opportunity," Zhuang Yiliu couldn't help saying. "The potential list is divided into two parts... One is the overall list, and people like Williams, Mo Yuan, and me who have already become Personal Disciples of Sky-Patrol Martial Artists will all enter it."

"The other part is the list of students who have not yet apprenticed."

"I reckon that with your talent, in the unapprenticed list, you are at least in the top three, or even first," Zhuang Yiliu said. "There will definitely be quite a few Sky-Patrol Martial Artists interested in you."

"Oh?" Fang Yu looked surprised on the surface.

Before the secondary Awakening, quite a few Sky-Patrol Martial Artists wanted to take him as a Disciple; now there would only be even more.

"Normally speaking, once you enter the sect of a Sky-Patrol Martial Artist, you cannot apprentice to other Sky-Patrol Martial Artists anymore," Zhuang Yiliu said. "Therefore, you should try your best to choose a powerful Sky-Patrol Martial Artist who is good at teaching Disciples."

"Correct."

"Fang Yu, try your best to enter the sect of a First-Class Sky-Patrol Envoy," Yan Tianheng said. "I heard that among First-Class Sky-Patrol Envoys, quite a few are not far from becoming Starry Sky Martial Artists."

"Alright, I will ponder it carefully." Fang Yu looked thoughtful.

Zhuang Yiliu and Yan Tianheng still cared a lot about him.

Shortly after, hundreds of contestants left successively.

Fang Yu wasn't in too much of a hurry to leave the Tianlan Realm. Instead, he returned to his personal space and continued to Cultivate.

"I broke into the fifth round, gaining an extra 50 hours of Tianlan Realm cultivation time this month. Today the tournament is about to end, so I might as well try not to waste it," Fang Yu thought to himself. "Anyway, I temporarily don't need to spend time raising my life level."

Fang Yu's life level had already reached level 39.9.

Over the past two days, Fang Yu had tried repeatedly.

No matter how hard he cultivated, his physical fitness was still difficult to improve... He had indeed reached the limit of a Senior Martial Artist, which was also known as the "human body limit".

Moving forward.

If he couldn't condense a star core, his life level would no longer change.

"Next."

"The most important thing for me is to Cultivate hard and quickly make my Inner Scenery Technique reach the tenth layer," Fang Yu thought to himself. "By that time, I can be promoted to an Earth Martial Artist."

Fang Yu cultivated with a calm mind.

The Blue Moon High School Martial Arts Competition came to an end, and all kinds of news were still spreading wildly... But today's news protagonist was no longer Fang Yu, and the growth rate of his whole-network fan count had finally slowed down.

Fang Yu was also happy to enjoy the leisure.

In the personal space square of the Tianlan Realm.

"Settings! Deathmatch mode."

"40 Mist-Lightning Butterfly People, limit strength." Fang Yu gave an order; he was now extremely familiar with the various usage rules of the Tianlan Realm. One second later, dozens of Mist-Lightning Butterfly People appeared within a hundred meters around Fang Yu. Every single one of them was level 39, and at the same time they all possessed the ninth-layer Inner Scenery Technique, holding different weapons.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

"Roar!"

"Kill!" Dozens of Mist-Lightning Butterfly People shouted slogans, filled with murderous intent, roaring as they charged toward Fang Yu, intending to directly kill him.

"Kill! Burning Body!"

With a thought in his mind, Fang Yu instantly entered the Burning Body state, engaging in a fierce battle with these Mist-Lightning Butterfly People.

Burning Body.

Under normal circumstances, one needed the tenth layer of Inner Scenery to control it relatively perfectly... But relying on his level 40 Mental Energy, Fang Yu could forcefully execute this Inner Scenery fatal move, causing his own strength to skyrocket.

Under this state, Fang Yu could more clearly sense the subtle changes in the countless cells throughout his body.

It was an excellent way to Cultivate the Inner Scenery Technique.

"Swish! Swish!" "Swish!" Saber light crisscrossed, and fresh blood splattered, some belonging to the Mist-Lightning Butterfly People and some to Fang Yu.

The strength of these Mist-Lightning Butterfly People was only a fraction weaker than Park Jeong-yun... The joint forces of 40 posed a very terrifying threat to Fang Yu, or rather, it was simply impossible for Fang Yu to win.

Being able to kill ten of them would already be considered remarkable.

That afternoon.

"Fang Yu, Yan Tianheng."

"The tournament has ended. Professor Xu and I will take the other eight classmates back to Huguang Martial Arts University first," Tang Jianxin smiled and said.

"You are going to apprentice to Sky-Patrol Martial Artists. After apprenticing, there is a high probability that you will follow them to study for a period of time... When everything is over, then return to the school."

"Alright," Yan Tianheng said.

"Yes, Teacher," Fang Yu also nodded.

This was also within their expectations.

The guidance of a Sky-Patrol Martial Artist was definitely much more useful than cultivating at school... Therefore, once they apprenticed to a Sky-Patrol Martial Artist, in a certain sense, it could be considered leaving the university's routine teaching.

At most, in some activities involving the school's honor, they would hope for Fang Yu and the others to show up and support.

Not only the students from Huguang Martial Arts University, but students from Blue Star Old Earth and the ten key universities of New Moon also left Xinyue Martial Arts University one after another. On this floor, only Fang Yu and Yan Tianheng remained.

Except for communicating during meal times, both of them were focused on cultivation.

Most of Fang Yu's energy was placed in the Tianlan Realm.

Trying time and time again, continuously cultivating.

Killing 5, 6, 7... After more than a day of bitter cultivation, by the afternoon of December 17, Fang Yu was already able to stably kill 8 to 10 Mist-Lightning Butterfly People in this kind of tempering combat.

"Temporarily."

"This should be the limit of my strength," Fang Yu thought to himself.

He didn't care too much about the progress either.

This kind of combat cultivation was originally meant to Cultivate techniques.

That day.

As it was approaching dinner time, Fang Yu and Yan Tianheng received a message from Minister Ji Lianyun, and subsequently the two rushed to another building of Xinyue Martial Arts University. That is, the building where they took promotional group photos when they first arrived.

The same martial arts room.

However, when Fang Yu and Yan Tianheng arrived, inside the martial arts room, apart from a few photographers, there were only Zhuang Yiliu and Minister Ji Lianyun.

"Minister Ji Lianyun."

"Zhuang Yiliu." Fang Yu and Yan Tianheng greeted them respectively, and Zhuang Yiliu nodded.

Minister Ji Lianyun walked over with a full face of smiles, appearing even more amiable: "Welcome, Fang Yu, Tianheng. Did I not disturb your cultivation... There's no help for it, the Provincial Governor specifically transmitted a message, hoping you can understand."

Fang Yu and Yan Tianheng looked at each other.

Governor?

This was the highest official in charge of a province under the Xia Country official government, possessing incomparably astonishing power. The person serving as the governor was most likely not a Sky-Patrol Martial Artist... But generally speaking, within the province, even someone as powerful as a Sky-Patrol Martial Artist would relatively respect the governor.

After all, the other party represented the Xia Country.

"Understood," Fang Yu smiled and said.

"Minister Ji Lianyun, I wonder what business the governor has?" Yan Tianheng took the initiative to ask.

"In this Blue Moon High School Tournament, all three of you performed extremely well. Yan Tianheng and Zhuang Yiliu even broke into the Peak Battle, winning immense glory for our Huguang Province," Minister Ji Lianyun smiled and said. "Although Fang Yu stopped at the fifth round, he ranked sixth on the potential list, which is unprecedented for our Huguang Province."

"Sixth?" Zhuang Yiliu was surprised.

"Potential sixth?" Yan Tianheng was even more startled.

Fang Yu's heart, however, was relatively calm; all of this was within expectations.

Listening to Minister Ji Lianyun's meaning.

Fang Yu's ranking on the potential list was even higher than Zhuang Yiliu's.

"In short, your contributions are huge, extremely huge," Minister Ji Lianyun smiled and said. "Therefore, through the resolution of the provincial upper echelon and the governor's approval... the three of you are respectively granted the title of 'Huguang Youth Prodigy'."

"And in the name of the province, you are each awarded 200 million Star Coins as support for your martial arts cultivation."

PS: Volume Two "Huguang Prodigy" has officially ended.

In the blink of an eye it's almost 150 chapters and nearly 500,000 words; it hasn't been easy!! The name of this volume has two layers of meaning: one is "Huguang Martial Arts University Prodigy", and the other is "Huguang Province Prodigy". I feel quite satisfied with it myself, I wonder how you brothers feel about it.

Previewing Volume Three "Earth Martial Artist".
