160: Chapter 160 The Eye of the Celestial Pivot
" Hiss ———!!! "
The moment he received confirmation, Principal Pang Ban gasped and took three steps back.
His hands, clasped behind his back, were trembling slightly.
" Could it be... that? "
" That... SSS-rank Supernatural Ability [ Eye of Tianshu ] that only exists in unofficial historical legends? "
Standing nearby, Director Wang looked completely bewildered, not even knowing what to record in his little notebook anymore:
" Principal? Eye of Tianshu? What kind of Supernatural Ability is this? "
" It doesn't seem to be recorded in the 'Encyclopedia of Supernatural Abilities', right? It's not even in the latest official Supernatural Ability database. "
" Hmph, of course you don't know. "
Principal Pang Ban took a deep breath, struggling to calm his surging emotions, his eyes flashing with a wise light:
" Because this Supernatural Ability is too ancient, as ancient as a legend! "
" It doesn't belong to the conventional Elemental or Enhancement types at all; rather, it touches upon the divine realm at the level of rules! "
Principal Pang Ban clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the hole, his voice becoming deep and weathered, as if he were recounting a piece of dust-covered history:
" As far as I know, in the long river of human history since the Rebirth of Spiritual Energy, the [ Eye of Tianshu ] has only appeared twice! "
" The first time was during the darkest moment of the Rebirth of Spiritual Energy centuries ago, when the lone powerhouse known as the Star Lord used the power of a single glance to see through the eternal mist shrouding the world, guiding humanity to its first path of survival! "
" The second time was during a riot in a forbidden zone a century ago, when a mysterious figure, across ten thousand miles of void, used nothing but a single gaze to instantly annihilate a Tier 7 Demon King attempting to break through its seal! "
Speaking to this point, Principal Pang Ban's voice carried a hint of a tremor:
" Because the deeds of these two great beings are too legendary, bordering on myth, later chroniclers were unable to verify them, and many even believe they are just fabricated legends. "
" Therefore, the official Supernatural Ability catalog has never included it, treating it only as unofficial folklore. "
" But I once read a rare, ancient book in the top-secret library of Magic City Martial Arts University, and the description of the [ Eye of Tianshu ] in it consisted of only eight characters — "
Principal Pang Ban paused, then recited word by word:
" A single glance spans ten thousand years, piercing through all falsehood! "
The entire venue fell into dead silence.
The members of Class F listened in a daze, feeling as if they were listening to a mythological story.
The melon seeds in Gou Fugui's hand fell, and Xiang Batian's mouth opened wide enough to fit a lightbulb.
Although they didn't quite understand what a Star Lord or a Demon King was, they certainly understood the keywords: "SSS-rank," "legendary Supernatural Ability," and "too dangerous for official records"!
" Wh... What the? "
Gou Fugui pushed up his glasses, his voice trembling:
" So, the thing Brother Jiang awakened... is this kind of legendary-level cheat? "
" No wonder... no wonder he could see through Senior Sister Ji's moves, and even her clothes..."
Gou Fugui hurriedly covered his mouth, almost letting slip that embarrassing incident.
Principal Pang Ban did not notice Gou Fugui's small gesture; his mind was currently filled with wild joy.
" I've struck gold... this time I've truly struck gold! "
Principal Pang Ban took a deep breath, his old eyes, which had seen countless people, now burning with unprecedented ambition.
Magic City Martial Arts University had been silent for too long.
Ever since the first principal disappeared, their ranking in the Hundred Schools League had been mediocre, with a faint trend of falling out of the top three.
But today, the appearance of the [ Eye of Tianshu ] gave him hope for a return to the peak!
" Director Wang! "
Principal Pang Ban turned around abruptly, his expression becoming stern and decisive, no longer showing any of the earlier playfulness or scolding:
" Immediately initiate the S-rank Seed Cultivation Plan! "
Director Wang shuddered, nearly dropping the pen in his hand: "Principal, that is reserved for the quasi-Grandmasters selected from the fourth-year students..."
" Now, it belongs to Jiang You! "
Principal Pang Ban cut him off decisively, his gaze sweeping over everyone present:
" Not just Jiang You, but the entire Class F, as Jiang You's teammates, will all receive double resource allocations before the Hundred Schools League! "
Director Wang opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to dissuade him, as Class F, being a concentration camp for geniuses, already received no fewer resources than other classes.
Now with both the S-rank Seed Cultivation Plan and double resources, this would undoubtedly put immense pressure on the school's already strained resource reserves.
Looking at Director Wang's pained and uncomprehending expression, Principal Pang Ban snorted coldly in his Heart, a flash of weathering and fervor that only an old man from that era could understand passing through his eyes.
Principal Pang Ban clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze passing through the Gymnasium's broken dome, as if piercing through the mists of time for hundreds of years, looking toward the "Mythological Era" sealed in top-secret files.
The young people of today, even a Dean of Students like Wang Tieming, did not understand at all what the words "the early stage of the Rebirth of Spiritual Energy" represented.
In that golden age where many powerhouses rose, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was so dense it almost turned to liquid; thousand-year spiritual herbs, now regarded as treasures, might have just been roadside weeds in that era.
The so-called Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters of today, if placed in that era, probably wouldn't even be worthy of carrying the shoes of those true supreme powerhouses!
That was an era where "gods fought," where countless brilliant geniuses emerged, forging the cornerstone of human martial arts with blood and bone.
" And in such a terrifying era where monsters walked everywhere and Grandmasters were as common as dogs..."
" [ Eye of Tianshu ] was still able to carve out a resounding reputation, recognized as an invincible talent capable of crushing an entire generation! "
" How laughable that people today are like frogs in a well, thinking that awakening an S-rank Elemental Supernatural Ability makes them a genius? "
" In that golden age of martial arts, those so-called S-rank Supernatural Abilities were nothing more than flowery fists and embroidered legs! "
Principal Pang Ban withdrew his gaze, looking at the hole in the ceiling that still retained an aura of annihilation, his Heart beating violently.
If Jiang You had truly fully awakened this power that only existed in legends...
That would mean Magic City Martial Arts University would not just be giving birth to a powerhouse.
They would be cultivating a... "young God King" capable of recreating the glory of that golden age!
" Investing a mere few warehouses of dead items into a myth destined to stand at the pinnacle of the era..."
Principal Pang Ban glanced at Director Wang, who was still feeling pained over the resources, and thought to himself:
" How is this a loss? This is simply the most cost-effective deal I, Pang Ban, have ever made in these hundred years! "
" Even if I have to dismantle the school gate and sell it for money, I will enshrine this great Buddha! "
Thinking of this, Principal Pang Ban hesitated no longer, waved his hand, his tone carrying an unquestionable dominance:
" Do as I say! "
" Even if we have to empty out the school, you must feed Jiang You for me! "
" I want him to let everyone know at the selection tournament what true... dimensional reduction strike means! "
" Director Wang, go take out that bottle of Azure Marrow that has been sealed in the school vault for ten years; it's a good item for nourishing spiritual power and repairing the backlash of ocular techniques, and send it to Jiang You! "
" Also, allocate ten vials of high-purity Tier 4 beast extract, plus three Dragon Blood Body-Forging Pills! "
Hearing this string of priceless resource names, Gou Fugui stood to the side, drooling, the abacus in his hand clicking as he gripped it.
Azure Marrow?
Dragon Blood Body-Forging Pills?
Any one of these, if taken out, would be enough to trade for an apartment in the city center of Magic City!
Is this the treatment for an SSS-rank Supernatural Ability awakener?
This is practically stepping into the sky in one leap!
Although the others in Class F didn't speak, their eyes revealed a hint of envy, and even... a hint of unwillingness at being outdone.
After all, they were all young people; who didn't have a bit of pride?
