108: Chapter 108 System, Activate!

"You old geezer, how dare you snatch my Disciple! If you don't give me an explanation for today's business, I'm not finished with you!!!"

A thunderous shout suddenly tore through the sky, echoing across the entire Prefectural Academy, causing the students in the Third Martial Arts Arena to involuntarily turn pale and instinctively cover their ears.

Everyone looked up and saw a figure in a black robe stepping through the air. Who could it be if not Principal Beigong Mo of the Chengtian Academy?!

"It's the Prefecture Head!"

"Chen An only apprenticed under the Prefecture Head the day before yesterday, and now Master Lin wants to take him as a Disciple too. This is going to be good!"

"If I could apprentice under the Prefecture Head or Master Lin, I would die without regrets!"

"In your dreams! I'd be satisfied if just one professor would take me as a Disciple!"

"That kid Chen An really deserves to die!!!"

Seeing Principal Beigong Mo appear, the students below immediately broke into an uproar.

"Enough, Bei Gong, stop showing off your authority there!"

Regarding Principal Beigong Mo's accusatory demeanor, Instructor Lin Chengyuan didn't care in the slightest. He waved his hand and said earnestly, "This kid reached the Entry Stage of the Extinction Blade Intent in just two days; it is heaven-ordained that he should be my successor!"

"Pah!"

Principal Beigong Mo landed on the ground, and upon hearing Instructor Lin Chengyuan's words, he said disdainfully, "Chen An reaching the Entry Stage of the Saber Intent is primarily due to his own Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability. What does it have to do with your Extinction Blade Intent?!"

"Even without your Extinction Blade Intent, believe it or not, as long as I have him Cultivate my 'Nine Suns Burning Heaven Fist', he could reach the Entry Stage within two days as well!"

"Pah, are you trying to bluff me?!"

Instructor Lin Chengyuan glanced at him, his eyes flickering as he said, "Wait, you haven't taught him your 'Nine Suns Burning Heaven Fist' yet?!"

"Cough!"

Feeling that his weakness had been exposed, Principal Beigong Mo gave a dry cough and said, "Chen An only just apprenticed under me; I haven't had time to teach him yet!"

"Didn't have time, my foot!"

Instructor Lin Chengyuan retorted directly, "I think you're just reluctant to part with your lousy fist technique. Since that's the case, you might as well let him apprentice under me. I guarantee I will pass on the complete 'Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction' to him without missing a single word!"

"In your dreams!"

Principal Beigong Mo glared at him and said, "Your saber technique is extremely murderous. If he's not careful, not only will he easily succumb to Qi Deviation, but he will also easily go to extremes. It's not suitable for Chen An to Cultivate!"

"And your fist technique is better?!"

Upon hearing Principal Beigong Mo's words, Instructor Lin Chengyuan was so angry that his beard bristled. He said, "Your fist technique is of the utmost rigidity and yang, fierce and overbearing. If the timing isn't right, it's easy to damage one's own Meridians. If one doesn't Cultivate it to Major Achievement, one cannot even break through their physical limits."

Standing on the side, watching the two of them arguing fiercely over him like vendors in a wet market, neither willing to give an inch, Chen An couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

The two had been arguing for so long, yet they hadn't asked him, the person involved, whether he was willing or not.

If he were to unleash his Martial King Realm Perfection cultivation right now, would these two be scared to death?!

Of course, this thought flashed through his mind for only an instant.

He didn't plan to expose his cultivation yet.

Martial King Realm Perfection—he was still a little bit away!

Moreover, it had been less than ten days since he Awakened his memories. This world was clearly not peaceful; with the Ancient Demon Race in the North ready to invade at any moment, the Blood Demon Sect hiding within the Great Luo Dynasty, and so on, he didn't want to expose himself before he was invincible.

With the System, as long as he kept a low profile, he felt that he wasn't far from breaking through to Martial Emperor and stepping onto the Peak of this world's martial arts!

"Fine, didn't you say his Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying? How about this, you teach him your 'Nine Suns Burning Heaven Fist' right now!"

Just as Chen An was slightly distracted, he suddenly heard Instructor Lin Chengyuan say, "As long as he can Revered Master your fist technique within two days and comprehend the Fist Intent of the Supreme Yang, I won't force him to apprentice under me anymore!"

"But if he cannot Revered Master your fist technique within two days, you will yield him to me and let him apprentice under me, how about that?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Principal Beigong Mo's expression froze instantly.

The louder he had boasted just now, the more panicked he felt inside.

What was the 'Nine Suns Burning Heaven Fist'?

It was a Heaven Rank top-tier Cultivation Technique, ranked among the top techniques in Qingzhou. It was of the utmost rigidity and yang, peerlessly overbearing, but its cultivation difficulty was also notoriously high.

What was his own talent back in the day?

He started practicing boxing at five, opened all his Meridians by fifteen, reached the Innate Realm at twenty, the Grandmaster Realm at forty-three, and the Great Grandmaster Realm at eighty-two. Yet even so, it took him twenty-eight years, not until he was seventy-one, to barely comprehend a trace of Fist Intent of the Supreme Yang.

Two days?

Forget about comprehending the Fist Intent in two days; just reaching the Entry Stage of the fist technique Moves would be considered Genius!

This old fox, Instructor Lin Chengyuan, had clearly calculated this and was deliberately setting a trap for him!

"What? Don't dare?"

Instructor Lin Chengyuan crossed his arms, looking at him with a half-smile, "Didn't you just say that even without my Extinction Blade Intent, he could reach the Entry Stage of your fist technique in two days? Why are you backing down now?"

"Who's backing down?!"

Principal Beigong Mo stiffened his neck to put up a front, while his mind raced.

If he agreed, in case Chen An really couldn't do it, he would have to hand over his Disciple;

If he didn't agree, his boast had already been made, so how could he hold his head high in the Qingzhou martial arts world in the future?

Just as Principal Beigong Mo was torn, Chen An, who had been silent, let his eyes flicker, and then bowed with cupped hands, "Revered Master, this Disciple is willing to try!"

The reason Chen An did this was that he suddenly realized his goal was not just to apprentice under Principal Beigong Mo.

From the beginning, his goal had always been the Royal Martial Arts Academy and the Four Great Martial Arts Holy Lands, which were guarded by Martial Emperors.

And in front of the Royal Martial Arts Academy and the Four Great Sects, the status of a mere Great Grandmaster Realm Disciple counted for nothing.

Although he wanted to hide his cultivation, it didn't mean he had to keep such a low profile forever.

On the contrary, he could use the System's capabilities to package himself as a Prodigy with Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability.

In this way, he could use this Five Prefectures Joint Examination to enter the Royal Martial Arts Academy or the Four Great Sects, and then slowly release and improve his cultivation, rather than suddenly exploding and arousing suspicion.

"What did you say?!" Principal Beigong Mo was stunned for a moment and looked at him, asking.

"If Revered Master trusts this Disciple, this Disciple is willing to try. Please, Revered Master, pass on the technique!" Chen An said respectfully again.

"Good!!!"

Principal Beigong Mo looked at Chen An, his eyes swirling with emotion, and then a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Since you have such confidence, then I will trust you once!"

"The 'Nine Suns Burning Heaven Fist' is a Heaven Rank top-tier Cultivation Technique, containing a Concept Domain. I will pass this technique to you using the Nine Suns Fist Intent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Principal Beigong Mo took a deep breath, his expression becoming extremely solemn. Then he extended his right index finger, and a wisp of brilliant golden Gang Essence condensed at his fingertip, slowly pointing toward the center of Chen An's brow.

A moment later, information about the 'Nine Suns Burning Heaven Fist' appeared in Chen An's mind.

"System, Activate!!!"
