Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2383: Chapter 2378: Seeking Fortune in Danger

Divinity.

That’s right, Ah Kai has awakened with something new.

Previously, I commented on Professor Ah Kai’s efficiency, and in just a few days, there has been significant progress.

At this very moment, it seems that the accumulation of quantity has finally triggered a transformation in quality.

Fu Qian is very certain that a trace of what’s called divinity has already been nurtured.

Not only relying on visual radar, don’t forget the Burial Scroll’s effect hasn’t expired yet.

When the other party is observing you, they can naturally sense you in return.

After the crisis, Professor Ah Kai unexpectedly surpassed the chasm of the Transcendent, officially touching the High-level Extraordinary... Is the Academy thriving too fervently lately?

First, the head of the Swordsmanship Department emerged, finally reaching the Demigod status after numerous hardships.

Then, a Linghui genius student arrived, refreshing the youngest High Tier legend.

And within just a few days, even the least prominent Benevolence Institute’s most esteemed young talent didn’t disappoint the expectations, officially stepping over that threshold.

Ah?

The bystanders’ stunned reactions naturally wouldn’t be absent.

As Transcendents, their sensitivity to certain phrases is already extremely high.

Even if Fu Qian didn’t articulate it clearly, someone immediately reacted and exclaimed repeatedly.

”Really...?”

And as the person involved, the impact of such an event is indeed the greatest.

Especially for Professor Ah Kai, remember that the passage of this day or so didn’t exist within his perception.

In other words, from his perspective, it was like trying out a certain idea, and before he could react to what was happening, he found himself surrounded by a crowd that announced his promotion.

”Truly.”

However, there was no unnecessary humility; murmuring to himself, he glanced down to make an assessment. In the next moment, Professor Ah Kai’s tone became affirmative, and he nodded to everyone.

...

Speaking of the miracle route, it indeed seems a bit extraordinary.

Sure, as mentioned before, the winner takes all, and it’s challenging for newcomers to break in, yet the flexibility for promotion is quite strong.

Even more flexible than the Swordsmanship Department, there’s no need for rituals, no need to swallow special ingredients, not even a requirement for specifically targeted insights...

Just like building a house, stacking one miracle after another, and you will naturally surpass that height.

”Wonderful!”

While Fu Qian was exclaiming, someone sounded even more excited than the person involved.

After hearing Ah Kai’s final confirmation of the good news, Professor Luo Bu’s eyes seemed to sparkle.

”So the stuff I provided really helped? It assisted in a High-level Extraordinary’s promotion?”

The eager question that followed clearly explained why he was so thrilled.

Aside from being happy for a colleague who had previously faced difficulties to be promoted, he realized that his own technical support played a role.

Considering the matter, it’s like sticking to a troublesome topic for days, only to accidentally succeed at a critical technical breakthrough.

To an academic, it might not match the joy of one’s own promotion, but the sense of achievement could be akin to winning a Nobel Prize, no?

”It indeed feels different.”

Meanwhile, the three beside Boyd finally seemed to come to their senses, not questioning Ah Kai’s statement.

In contrast, their emotions were somewhat complicated.

Colleagues are adversaries, especially in a field where the winner takes all.

Miracles feedback to the discoverer only; if you use it, I can’t.

”Wonderful... It’s been too long, this is great news for the entire Benevolence Institute.”

But that complexity was fleeting, and soon the only female professor almost unsteadily remarked in admiration, even jokingly.

”It’s worth staying up all night.”

...

It’s certainly good news.

As the academy without a Demigod, while talents in the Benevolence Institute wither away, its current operational state, to put it nicely, is flexible and free; bluntly, it looks like it’s about to disband.

In such circumstances, to have someone finally reach this path and ascend to High Tier is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for everyone.

Especially when you think about it, Professor Ah Kai’s achievement was not easily won.

Talent and diligence aside, given the situation earlier, it wasn’t just walking a fine line between life and death.

If not for Professor Fu stepping in today to avert disaster, it’s hard to imagine if the closed eyes would ever open again.

Although it remains unclear how Professor Fu managed it and why he didn’t act sooner, delaying until now...

The logic is clear, but so are the questions.

Immediately, many people’s gazes shifted to Professor Fu and the two items in his hands.

”The good thing is you shouldn’t be too tired? It would be best to stabilize your condition.”

Fu Qian didn’t plan to explain everything clearly; he merely advised Ah Kai with a smile.

Even though this promotion seemed sudden, in strict terms, it was not lacking in preparation.

Just consider the previous ark journey, although it involved some risk and even left some aftereffects.

But such an experience, for a narrative-focused miracle faction, its value is often hard to measure simply.

In addition to the benefits gained through departmental collaboration,

Fu Qian even believes that in the miracle which aided Ah Kai’s promotion, there might be information that interests him.

But there’s no rush; the current gains are already ample.

Professor Ah Kai’s advancement was somewhat risky, so it’s best to first attempt stabilization.

”Ah?”

Although before he could say anything further, another interruption occurred.

”Professor Lanaya, we have good news.”

Listening to that familiar voice, Fu Qian’s smile did not diminish as he turned to acknowledge.

...

”You’ve already found it?”

It was from the head of the Punishment Department, and seeing Ah Kai standing there, Lanaya visibly sighed in relief after her initial surprise.

Especially since the person involved appeared intact.

”You came quite early.”

She also glanced at Fu Qian, and although she didn’t say it outright, Lanaya seemed quite pleased that he kept his word and came to assist after resting overnight.

”That’s expected; should we wait on the side first?”

Knowing that he most likely visited his place first, Fu Qian shook his head, signaling that it was his responsibility.

Oh...

A bit puzzled, given it’s a hands-on department involving action, Lanaya quickly realized something, looking at Ah Kai in disbelief.

Yet, she soon accepted the suggestion and maintained this posture as she walked out.

”Looks like good came out of bad.”

Walking beside her, Fu Qian didn’t let her stew, directly confirming her speculation.

”It could be related to the previous meteor shower incident; an unexpected finding from the investigative operation.”

He even provided a possible explanation.
