104: Chapter 104 The Alliance's Number One Prodigy

In the current Alliance, including both the Lower Realm and the Domain of God, there are countless talents under heaven. Who could possibly be the leading figure?

This was something Chen Xing was very curious about. One had to know that his teacher, Ye Jianxing, and the Dean, Yue Shanhai, were also part of the younger generation, yet they weren't considered the best.

Su He sat opposite him. In her role as his instructor, she had her hair tied up and carried herself with dignified grace.

She said, "I once heard that an extraordinary figure emerged in the Alliance. When he was a child, his parents were hunted by practitioners of the Evil Path, and they were forced to leave the child in a remote place."

"Later, the Evil Path was suppressed, and his parents finally found him, only to discover that this son of theirs possessed peerless talent. While others need to rely on energy crystals to achieve Awakening at eighteen, he awakened his ability naturally at fourteen. He even drew the attention of the higher-ups."

Chen Xing was beyond surprised. At fourteen, living alone without parental help, life would have been difficult, and he might have even suffered from malnutrition.

But even so, that person's astonishing ability energy still grew and erupted on its own, leading to an early Awakening.

"What is his name?" Chen Xing asked.

"Hua Zizai," Su He spoke slowly.

"Zizai... a good name." Chen Xing mused, etching the name into his memory.

"How strong is he?" This was Chen Xing's primary concern.

Su He's expression turned solemn, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

"I'm not sure, but according to the rumors, he can be described with four words—the Human Race's strongest!"

The title of 'strongest' exists everywhere. For example, the current number one Genius on Planet Blue is a C-Class Esper.

Or perhaps in a certain large region or academy, there is also their own 'strongest Genius'.

However, if one adds the words 'Human Race' before 'strongest', the weight and significance become incomparable.

"Is it truly that exaggerated?" Chen Xing couldn't help but say.

"Probably. Actually, I haven't seen him with my own eyes either. I've only heard people say that the current Hua Zizai has already crossed all his Heavenly Tribulations and ascended to the Heavenly Position Realm, yet he is not even a hundred years old!" Su He's face was grave.

The Heavenly Position Realm, the strongest existence below immortality, and he was not even a hundred!

This was indeed shocking. Not just in human history, but even looking at the history of the Yao Race, a Genius like this would be hard to find across several eras.

"How do you know all this?" Chen Xing asked curiously.

"I once stayed in the Domain of God for a short while, but because of the rules, I was sent down. I'm not allowed to stay there for long," Su He said.

"You were born in the Domain of God?" Chen Xing was surprised.

Su He nodded, hiding nothing. "My Family, the Su Family—perhaps you aren't familiar with it because the Su Family's development area isn't near here."

Chen Xing asked, "Then why are you here?"

Su He gave a faint smile. "I didn't want to rely on my Family, so I moved away from my comfort zone to a more distant place. For the past three years, I've relied entirely on myself."

"So that means your parents are still in the Domain of God?"

"Yes, but they are both A-Class."

"Impressive, three Supremes in one Family! No wonder you're so strong!" Chen Xing exclaimed.

"You're exaggerating. Also, I'm not that strong." Su He smiled and shook her head.

She turned her head to look at the blue sky. "Back then, my parents told me that I could forget other geniuses and experts, but this Hua Zizai must be kept in mind at all costs. If I ever encounter him in the future, it's best to stay out of his way."

Chen Xing followed her gaze and asked as if chatting casually, "In that case, what is his ability? I'd like to study it."

"It's the same as his surname: Flower." Su He's answer was somewhat dazing.

While others had either pure elemental attributes or incredibly cool beast souls and Physiques, this person had what sounded like an ordinary flower.

However, Chen Xing knew that in this world, anything was possible. The strength of an ability never depended on its type.

Even if you had a C-Class spatial ability, in a pure contest of ability intensity, you couldn't possibly beat an A-Class 'Plain Paper' ability.

A flower ability might seem weak, but since it was S-Rank, it must have something extraordinary about it.

"Alright, I'll remember that." Chen Xing nodded.

Su He withdrew her gaze and laughed. "Chatting with you made me forget the main business. If the Venerable finds out, he'll blame me."

Chen Xing cleared his throat and asked, "What about the Star Art?"

Su He slowly raised her hand, and a jade pendant with a spherical pattern appeared in her palm. It contained an imprint recording the contents of the first volume of the Star Art.

"You're a celebrity now, the academy's number one Prodigy. The restrictions on borrowing Battle Techniques are practically non-existent for you. As soon as the Dean heard you wanted it, he didn't even ask for money and told me to bring it to you immediately," she teased.

"The Dean is generous!" Chen Xing laughed and immediately took the jade pendant.

Buzz!

Chen Xing pressed the jade pendant against his forehead. Instantly, a faint starlight flickered and surged into his mind.

At the same time, the Enlightenment Space sensed the arrival of a new Battle Technique and immediately began analyzing it.

To keep up appearances, Chen Xing didn't rush into the Enlightenment Space. Instead, he sat upright, listening like a well-behaved student.

"There are three basic Battle Techniques in the Star Art: Star Transformation, Star Plucking, and Star Technique. All S-Rank Battle Techniques share certain similarities..." Su He spoke, explaining very carefully.

"Biting off more than you can chew is no good, so I'll stop here for now. Try and see if you can reach the entry level. If your attributes don't match, we'll switch to another technique and find another teacher."

A moment later, Su He waved her hand, and a star diagram appeared before her.

"Use my astral power to observe carefully; it will help you. This is all I can do."

"Alright, Senior." Chen Xing nodded.

"When we're working, shouldn't you address me by my title?" Su He raised an eyebrow.

"Alright, Instructor Su."

“...”

Enlightenment Space.

Chen Xing sat cross-legged on the water's surface. For a high-end Battle Technique like the Star Art, the System had already finished its analysis.

In front of him, countless runes arranged themselves, and knowledge flooded into his mind like seawater.

Buzz!

Once Chen Xing had memorized the content, the runes transformed into thousands of stars, forming a star diagram.

This diagram was far more profound and exquisite than Su He's. Every star seemed to have come to life.

As the saying goes: products of the System are always premium.

Thump!

Just as Chen Xing was about to focus on his comprehension, starlight condensed ahead once more, turning into a starry figure similar to himself.

This energy body performed the Star Transformation Technique right before him, followed by the Star Plucking Technique, and even mapped out the final Star Technique.

A good demonstration could be of immense help.

Chen Xing watched without blinking until the other party finished the entire set of movements. Only then did he begin his comprehension.

In the outside world.

Su He watched him quietly, ready to respond to any accidents that might occur.

Buzz!

Two hours later, starlight began to appear on Chen Xing's body.

"He succeeded?" Su He looked on in disbelief.
