100: Five calamities awaken spiritual intelligence

Pengcheng University, Villa No. 66.

It was now early September, and the osmanthus flowers planted by the school were in full bloom.

Many couples held hands, appreciating the osmanthus and breathing in the intoxicating fragrance.

The first floor of the villa was the living room, and the second floor held the master bedroom and guest bedrooms.

The third floor had been converted into a training room by Lu Yuan.

dragon blood crystals were stacked neatly on the floor. Lu Yuan looked out the window at the blooming osmanthus.

Compared to the demon crystals and monster cores, the dragon blood crystal had better absorption effects.

But it was extravagant. Practitioners in the City of Chaos mainly used dragon blood crystal for healing, or at least for rapidly restoring spiritual power.

The thought of directly using it for cultivation, like Lu Yuan did, was unimaginable to them.

Lu Yuan took out a dragon blood crystal, sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, and entered a cultivation state.

Relying on the terrifying absorption speed of his SSS-Rank Talent, he completely absorbed the dragon blood crystal in his hand in just half a day!

The second one came next, then the third... Flowers bloomed and faded. October was the season for the Lycoris Radiata to bloom.

Autumn had arrived.

Divine Power Realm Two-star, Three-star, Four-star... The number of over five hundred dragon blood crystals rapidly decreased, and Lu Yuan's realm quickly rose!

The Demon Burial, having awakened spiritual wisdom, guarded outside the room, patiently waiting for its master to emerge from seclusion.

Crackle, crackle—

Late one night, Gold Calamity Devouring Army stood beside the Demon Burial, followed closely by Wood Calamity Rotten Scab, Fire Calamity Scarlet Skeleton... The pupils of the five elements calamities lit up, reflecting different lights!

The autumn wind was bleak, and yellowing fallen leaves swept across the street.

Tang Jinghui stood at the entrance of the villa, first placing the prepared dragon blood crystals outside the training room door.

He then went to the living room to brew tea, sat on the sofa, and turned on the television to a news channel.

"Is Lu Yuan still in seclusion?"

Vice Principal walked in, knowing instantly that Tang Jinghui would be here.

After receiving Tang Jinghui's confirmation, Vice Principal poured himself a cup of tea.

"This kid can certainly endure loneliness. He's been in seclusion for three full months, from early September until now." Vice Principal did not hide his affection for Lu Yuan.

"It's good that he's cultivating in seclusion; these are extraordinary times."

Tang Jinghui said.

"Mm." Vice Principal agreed.

"In three months, he should at least be able to break through to Divine Power Realm Six-Star, or at the very least, Five-star."

The autumn air was crisp and refreshing, and the cool breeze blowing into the villa felt very comfortable.

Vice Principal looked at the Calamities guarding the entrance of the training room.

He remembered there was only one Calamity initially, but now there were six!

"Around there." Tang Jinghui watched the news on TV.

The breakthrough speed Vice Principal mentioned was already very fast, considering Lu Yuan was only Divine Power Realm One-star before entering seclusion.

Cultivating to Divine Power Realm Five-star, or even Six-star, in three months was mainly due to Lu Yuan possessing SSS-Rank Talent!

This kind of talent was what all Practitioners dreamed of; forget SSS-Rank, they would be satisfied with S-Rank.

Creak—

As they spoke, the sound of a door opening rang out.

Vice Principal was stunned when he saw the young man walking down from the third floor.

The young man wore black training clothes; his hair hadn't been cut for a long time, making his hairstyle flowing, giving him the look of a young artist pursuing the arts.

"Eight-star Divine Power Realm!"

Both he and Tang Jinghui had guessed wrong.

In three months, Lu Yuan had broken through from Divine Power Realm One-star to Eight-star Divine Power Realm!

"This... isn't this speed a bit too fast?" Vice Principal felt like he was dreaming.

The lower the realm, the faster a Practitioner's breakthrough speed.

That's why during the Martial Examination, candidates could break through one or two minor realms in almost a single day.

The Divine Power Realm was different; every minor breakthrough was incredibly difficult.

It required a massive amount of time and sufficient demon crystals and monster cores!

Yet Lu Yuan had shattered Vice Principal's understanding of the cultivation speed of Divine Power Realm Practitioners!

Tang Jinghui was also surprised, but quickly realized it was due to the dragon blood crystal.

The dragon blood crystal had better absorption effects than the demon crystals and monster cores, and combined with Lu Yuan's SSS-Rank Talent, his breakthrough speed soared like a rocket!

Chu Wushe had come looking for Lu Yuan ten days ago, and he was only Divine Power Realm Three-star!

If Chu Wushe was like this, there was no need to even mention anyone else.

What surprised Tang Jinghui and Vice Principal even more came next: a golden light burst forth from Lu Yuan.

Gold Calamity Devouring Army fused into Lu Yuan's body!

"Gold Attribute!" Vice Principal looked at Lu Yuan, absolutely certain that Lu Yuan was currently a Gold Attribute Combat Class Practitioner.

Vines quietly grew, covering the living room.

"Wood Attribute!"

Vice Principal's mouth twitched.

One second Lu Yuan was Gold Attribute, and the next he became a Wood Attribute Combat Class Practitioner!

Following that were Fire, Water, Earth... In just two or three minutes, Lu Yuan consecutively displayed five different elemental basic Spirit Skills.

"Greetings, Master!"

The five elements calamities, led by Gold Calamity Devouring Army, knelt on one knee. Like the Demon Burial, they had all awakened spiritual wisdom.

This meant that Lu Yuan would no longer need to manually control them; he could simply issue verbal commands.

More importantly, Lu Yuan could gain the Five Elements Attributes through them!

"Teacher, Vice Principal."

After experiencing the five different Attribute Spirit Skills, Lu Yuan greeted them.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Eight-star Divine Power Realm. The championship of the Grand Competition three years from now is definitely yours."

Vice Principal, being the Vice Principal of Pengcheng University, immediately thought of this matter first.

After all, the Grand Competition wasn't just related to the students; it also involved the Five Great Top Academies acquiring cultivation resources.

"A six-attribute Combat Class Practitioner, plus the special class Puppet Master. It seems I can die without regrets." Tang Jinghui's tone was relieved.

Fu Jingjie was currently serving as a Wind-Rending Alliance Elder, and Lu Yuan was the person he worried about the most.

Three months passed in a flash. Apart from the realm improvement and the five great calamities successively Awakening Spiritual Wisdom,

Lu Yuan felt no other major changes.

"Teacher, did anything happen while I was in seclusion?" Lu Yuan took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator.

Gulp, gulp, gulp—

He drank it all in one breath!

During this time, he had focused entirely on cultivation, completely cutting off contact with the outside world.

"Lu Yeli came looking for you in mid-September. She didn't disturb you when she learned you were in seclusion." Tang Jinghui said after thinking for a moment.

"Lu Yeli asked me to relay a message: are you still going to treat her to imperial capital roast duck?"

Lu Yuan: "..."

He almost forgot about that!

It seemed he would have to make a trip to Imperial Capital University in a few days to spend some quality time with his Older Sister.

"Jiang Tianxia looked for you to team up and hunt fierce beasts in the No Mans Land."

"Chu Wushe looked for you twice. The first time was right after he broke through to the Divine Power Realm and comprehended a Divine Ability, making him eager to fight you."

Saying this, Tang Jinghui took a sip of hot tea.

"I always felt that Chu Wushe looked for you to show off—to show off the Divine Ability he comprehended, not necessarily to fight."

"That's how he is, an old tsundere."

Lu Yuan said.

Comprehending a Divine Ability was cause for celebration; it was perfectly normal to hold a banquet specifically for it.

Chu Wushe didn't share it with his family and friends immediately, but instead rushed all the way to Pengcheng to find him.

This was unexpected by Lu Yuan.

"It seems you two have a good relationship. I thought you resented each other."

When Chu Wushe was mentioned, Vice Principal remembered something.

"Lu Yuan, you almost didn't get to see Chu Wushe again. He nearly died Outside Imperial Capital City!"

Lu Yuan was instantly solemn, making sure he hadn't misheard.

Chu Wushe nearly died Outside Imperial Capital City?

This statement was too shocking. Even if Chu Wushe had died in the No Mans Land, it wouldn't have shocked Lu Yuan this much.

That was the Imperial Capital.

Who had the guts to assassinate Chu Wushe, the Son of the Alliance Leader, right in the Imperial Capital?!
