Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Forced to Compromise

”Is that a lot? I think it’s quite little, actually. I made this request considering what you can handle, I didn’t expect you to be so stingy,” Chu Linfeng said discontentedly.

”What makes you think you can demand so many star stones from us? If you can show us something convincing, perhaps we might agree,” Gongsun Changyuan chimed in.

”Well, since you said so, you’re the vice dean, your words should count, right? Let me be very clear with you,

as long as I have enough star stones for cultivation, I can reach the Ninth Level of the Earth Martial Realm in three years, and maybe even break through to the Celestial Martial Realm. That’s my least promise to you,” Chu Linfeng said confidently.

”Ninth Level of the Earth Martial Realm in three years? Even the Celestial Martial Realm? Do you think that’s possible? No matter how good the talent, it can’t be done.

Kiddo, even if you’re trying to fool people, don’t do it like this. We’ve been around and know well about breakthroughs in strength,” Dean Xu nearly popped his eyes out; does this kid speak without thinking?

”Do you think I’m joking? Truth be told, three months ago, I was a trash stuck in the Xuanwu Realm First Layer for two years, but now I can defeat masters of the Third Level of Earth Martial Realm. Do you think that’s possible?”

Chu Linfeng spoke so assertively that they couldn’t help but believe, and the determination in his eyes made it even more convincing.

The three of them exchanged glances, half doubting and half believing Chu Linfeng’s words. His rapid progress from the Xuanwu Realm First Layer to his current strength in just three months was unprecedented.

”Did you have an encounter or did the blood in your body awaken?” Dean Xu, being knowledgeable about many strange occurrences, knew some people were born with powerful bloodlines, which could multiply their strength upon awakening.

”Consider it an encounter. As for what it is, I can’t disclose it for now since the time isn’t ripe. But I promise that one day I’ll tell you,” Chu Linfeng naturally wouldn’t disclose the matter about the Sword Spirit.

”It seems you really have a lot of secrets, kid. We’ll agree to your request, but you must also agree to ours.”

”What request? If it’s not too difficult, I can agree.” In fact, Chu Linfeng already knew their request; the Sword Spirit had informed him earlier.

”Next year, our academy will have a competition with the Sea Dragon Academy. I hope you can win. Truth be told, our Celestial Dragon Academy hasn’t beaten them for years,” Dean Xu revealed his thoughts.

Given Chu Linfeng’s talent, as he claimed, if there were enough star stones, his strength would improve rapidly. As long as he participates in the competition, there’s a chance of winning.

”Are there any rewards? I didn’t expect people from the Celestial Dragon Academy to be so weak. Don’t worry, leave this to me; as long as the star stones are in place, I’ll help you win!” Chu Linfeng was very delighted at this moment.

”Alright, I’ll find time to give you the star stones privately, and I’ll also provide you with a separate training room. I hope you don’t disappoint me.”

Dean Xu was at his wit’s end, losing for so many years, they really should win once, and maybe the chance of winning indeed lies with this kid.

”Thanks, old man, now I’m off! Remember to give me the star stones! Time is of the essence!” Chu Linfeng sprinted off after speaking.

”This kid, he’s really a cunning one. We got extorted today, and we can’t even hold a grudge against him. Gongsun Changyuan, Elder Wang, do you think we did the right thing this time?” Dean Xu asked after Chu Linfeng left.

”Dean, I also think this kid is extraordinary. Look at how he shows no fear towards people like us at this level, speaks directly without any hesitation.

His aptitude is among the best. I dare to assert that this kid will surely break through to that realm in the future,” Elder Wang spoke slowly, equally amazed by Chu Linfeng.

”Let’s stop here for today, Elder Wang, you should make some preparations. After all, it’s the start of a new semester, and we should say a few words in front of the students.”

After coming out, Chu Linfeng didn’t enter the regular class because he didn’t know which class he should be in, lingering outside. Just then, seeing Elder Wang approaching, he immediately walked up and said, ”Old Man Wang, which class am I in?”

”You’re in Class A. Everyone will gather at the Martial Arts Training Ground shortly. The dean has something to say to you all,” Elder Wang hurriedly left after speaking, not minding being called old man by Chu Linfeng.

Chu Linfeng then directly entered Class A, seeing that the class was already full, with a young beautiful tutor in the hall speaking.

Ignoring the envious and jealous gazes, he saw one or two empty seats and casually chose one to sit down.

Upon sitting down, he realized how right his thoughts were; even in the regular class, the students here were stronger than him, some exuding an aura reaching at least the Earth Martial Realm level, which was terrifying to think about.

The beautiful tutor glanced at Chu Linfeng and continued, ”Since we’re all in the same class, we should help each other.

Especially for new students and those coming from lower classes, it’s best not to have any bullying ideas. If I find out, it’s off to the twenty-times gravity chamber for reflection for a day.”

Hearing the beautiful tutor’s words, many senior students in the regular class felt shocked. In the past, students joined, but it was never this strict.

To be punished by facing the wall in the gravity chamber, and at twenty times gravity, was chilling to think about, truly fitting her nickname of Demon Rakshasa.

”Everyone, follow me to the Martial Arts Training Ground, and remember, we’re the regular Class A. Other regular classes exist, too. Don’t embarrass your class, that’s what I least want to see!” The beautiful tutor concluded, giving Chu Linfeng a special look.

Under the guidance of the beautiful tutor, the students quickly gathered at the Martial Arts Training Ground.

Today was the first day of school at Celestial Dragon Academy, and not only were there new students, but even more senior students, with elite class students appearing as well.

The academy had about several thousand people, but every senior student here gave Chu Linfeng an unfathomable impression.

It seemed each person had been tempered between life and death, standing anywhere with an aura of murder rising, making them not to be underestimated.

Chu Linfeng stood behind a student a few years older than him, and shortly after, heard the discussions from others nearby.

”Did you see that? That’s Wu Qing, ranked fourth among the academy’s top ten experts, known for fusing two elements in his martial skills, very strange indeed.”

”The academy has a top ten expert ranking? How come I didn’t know?”

”Geez, you’re really out of the loop, let me tell you, the Celestial Dragon Academy’s top ten experts list has always existed; it’s just re-ranked when new students arrive.”

”Are there any freshmen in the top ten?”

”Not exactly, I mean from the regular class, four people have been selected. Our class has one, Class B has two, and Class C has one.”

”Who are they? How come I never knew?”

”Our class’s Ouyang Hong, reportedly he has reached the Third Level of the Earth Martial Realm, very strong, ranked seventh among the top ten experts.

The six ahead of him are all senior students, but it’s said Ouyang Hong’s strength isn’t inferior to theirs. If he has any performances or battles in the future, his ranking might change.”

”Who are the remaining three?”

”In Class B, there’s Li Xiaolan, don’t be fooled by her being a woman; she’s quite fierce, nicknamed the She-Leopard, practices a Profound Tier Martial Skill that’s very potent. Not long ago, she severely injured an Earth Martial Realm Second Level student in one move, now ranked eighth among the top ten masters.”

”And who else?”

”Also from Class B, there’s Qin Yu. The martial skill he practices is quite unique, capable of exhibiting beast-like attacks, which people have found quite miraculous, very strong, ranked ninth.”

”Who’s the tenth? I think Class C doesn’t have anyone remarkable.”

”See that kid in off-white clothes? That’s Deng Chong, Earth Martial Realm Second Level Peak, considered the top master in Class C.

No one has seen him in action, but some older students from the elite class know him and show fear towards him.

Just based on this, he was placed in the tenth position by the students, considered a potential stock, possibly achieving a higher ranking in the future.”
