68: Chapter 68 Comprehending the Realm of Intent: Both Possible

Looking at Su He's surprised expression, Chen Xing was jolted. This person didn't seem to be joking?

Chen Xing's expression turned strange; he couldn't imagine what kind of torture Su He had endured.

But looking at it now, the effect should be very good. In the academy, Su He had almost become part of the strongest group.

"My God, is this still a freshman?" Behind them, the crowd whispered.

"He took it so easily? Why do I feel like that strike could have split me in half?"

"So powerful, no wonder he's S-rank!"

"It seems like we're safe this time!"

"..."

Whether they were freshmen or seniors, everyone acknowledged Chen Xing's powerful strength.

Without Chen Xing's knowledge, several titles like the Academy's Third Hero and the King of Light had already spread, and everyone called him differently in private.

"My Fist Intent isn't polished well enough yet. Please, one more move, Senior Sister." Chen Xing raised his hand again, inviting Su He.

"Sure, I'll do my best to help you. I hope you can have an Epiphany before dawn," Su He smiled faintly, speaking in a joking tone.

Having an Epiphany overnight and taking Fist Intent to the next level? This might be feasible, but the probability was very low.

However, since this was an invitation from her junior, as his senior sister, she naturally had to help.

*Thud!*

A dull sound rang out, followed by bright, dazzling starlight that flowed into Su He's palm.

"What I Cultivate is Spear Intent!" After Su He spoke, the starlight transformed into a long spear.

"My Concept is about to reach the Divine Ability Realm. Brace yourself. Whether you can comprehend anything depends on you!"

Su He gripped the long spear tightly, like a Dragon ready to strike. Around her, there seemed to be an invisible membrane isolating everything.

Chen Xing could sense something dangerous. That membrane looked ordinary, but it was actually Spear Intent tempered a thousand times over.

If one got close to the membrane, they would be scraped by countless tiny spear blades, like a meat grinder; anyone who touched it would be mangled.

"She's a powerhouse." Chen Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, his attitude becoming more serious.

*Bang!*

In the next second, the Star Spear collided with the Fist of Light, and the power erupting between the two even triggered the alarms at the city boundary.

Just as Su He had said, Chen Xing indeed relied on brute force; this time, he even invoked the power of the Five Elements Body Refining Art.

"Other elemental auras?" Li Baxian's gaze sharpened.

"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire... Earth? Five Elements attributes, you Cultivated the Five Elements Body Refining Art?" Su He was shocked.

"Yes, I've mastered it," Chen Xing replied calmly, as if he were saying something perfectly ordinary.

"This Body Refining Art... is very compatible with your attributes?" Su He was greatly shaken. She had thought he would have Cultivated something like a Light Body Refining Art Battle Technique.

"There's no rejection phenomenon, so it should be," Chen Xing nodded.

This was shocking. First, a Dragon Soul Battle Technique, then a Five Elements attribute Body Refining technique, and yet there wasn't a single sign of attribute rejection.

This made the world increasingly curious about Chen Xing. He felt like an onion—peel one layer and there's another, mysterious and powerful.

Someone tried to do a background check on him, and as a result, the Alliance Guard rushed to their home two minutes later to arrest and detain them.

"Legend has it that some elemental powers are naturally compatible with many other powers. There are also people who are compatible with various attributes themselves, but are just limited by their abilities," Elder Xuan narrowed his eyes, unable to help but feel curious about this young man.

"According to Elder Xuan, which one is Chen Xing?" the Dean of Shengyuan Academy laughed.

"Hehehe... how would I know? But... both are possible!" Elder Xuan smiled.

"What do you think, Venerable Jianxing?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Jianxing not far away.

Ye Jianxing sat carelessly, completely indifferent to his image, and at this moment, he was grinning from ear to ear.

"I'm not skilled in the way of elements, nor do I know its mysteries. So my view is the same as Elder Xuan's: both are possible." He chose a conservative answer.

Under the night sky, the light dissipated, and the area returned to tranquility.

"Impressive, I'm full of admiration." Su He put away her long spear, a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

"A very powerful spear." Chen Xing looked at his fist and found that the scales covering it had fallen off, and even the light on the surface had dimmed.

"This is the first time I've met someone at a lower Realm who took my spear strike without getting injured. You're the first; you're very impressive!" Su He nodded, acknowledging him once more.

"My God..." Standing not far away, Li Baxian pressed his hand to his forehead, feeling ashamed.

No way?

Am I going to become the weakest S-rank in the academy again?

"Impossible. Chen Xing has just started, after all. It's normal for his accumulation to be insufficient. Besides, his Concept isn't as good as mine, and his cultivation Realm is even lower. So, I shouldn't be the weakest yet." He comforted himself mentally.

"I didn't expect that one day, even my student would say something as cliché as 'the new generation surpasses the old'?" Li Baxian's expression was strange, and he felt a bit depressed.

Su He put away her Star Spear and said, "Alright, go and Cultivate. I hope that strike and spear thrust can help you. If you have any more questions, you can come and ask anytime; I won't refuse you."

Chen Xing nodded, not being overly polite with her.

His plan was to raise his Concept by another level before the sun rose.

Although it seemed impossible to others, he had the Enlightenment Space, so nothing was impossible.

"Old Chen, you're awesome."

Coming under a tree and preparing to enter meditation, Chen Xing exchanged a few more words with Qin Feng.

"Cultivate your Concept more. As long as you improve in this area, a Breakthrough in your cultivation won't be a problem." Chen Xing shared some of his insights with him.

"Don't worry, I have Qingyao as a sparring partner. Maybe I really will have a chance to Breakthrough here." Qin Feng grinned, telling him not to worry.

"Good."

Chen Xing closed his eyes. In the eyes of others, he was Cultivating and comprehending.

In reality, he was communicating with the System.

Enlightenment Space, Combat Mode.

"New challengers unlocked: Su He, Li Baxian."

That's right. Chen Xing's purpose in inviting the two to strike just now was only to fulfill the System's trigger condition—challenging opponents.

Even if it was just one move, it counted as a form of challenge, so it was recorded.

"Select, challenge Li Baxian!"

Chen Xing did not hesitate, choosing the person with the weakest Concept first.

What he wanted to do was to polish his Concept.

However, there was a reason why he didn't choose Ye Jianxing.

First, Ye Jianxing's Concept Realm was too high. If he were to learn from it, it would be like a child who hasn't learned one plus one equals two trying to learn calculus.

Perhaps some people are naturally gifted, but you still have to learn what counting is.

Previously, Chen Xing didn't know anything about Concepts, which was like not knowing how to count; he could only imitate Ye Jianxing blindly.

Later, after he mastered the Five Elements Body Refining Art, Ye Jianxing taught him personally in reality, and he barely made some progress.

However, everything Chen Xing had come into contact with was high-end, and the gap was too large. So, he chose to engage with something more foundational, like Li Baxian.

After advancing a bit more, it would be Su He.
