Chapter: Dragon Elephant Dominance Body, Nine Heavens in One Year
When Chen Chu returned to school in casual clothes, it was only nine in the morning.
"Chen Chu, over here."
In the teaching building's office, Liu Feixu waved at Chen Chu, "Pang Long has been in closed-door meditation for over a week. He asked you to find me when you come back."
"…No wonder I couldn't find him. Thank you, Teacher Liu." Chen Chu paused.
"No problem, let's go."
As she spoke, Liu Feixu stood up and led Chen Chu towards a tall building in the back.
"Advanced techniques differ from low-level techniques; they involve martial dao will. Simply transferring pupils' images can only convey content below the four heavens."
"Complete advanced inheritances or content above the fourth layer require the use of the true martial stele."
On the way, Liu Feixu detailed to Chen Chu the things to pay attention to when inheriting advanced techniques.
Soon, the two arrived in front of a twenty-meter tall, square-shaped building.
There weren’t many people around, but upon entering, Liu Feixu underwent five rounds of identity verification.
At the same time, while verifying her own identity, she registered Chen Chu so that he could come in alone next time to exchange for other advanced techniques or combat skills.
After entering the building, the two passed through a long corridor, finally arriving at a central hall.
In the middle of the hall stood a ten-meter-high, gray stone stele, exuding a heavy aura; the invisible pressure it released even made Chen Chu's heart palpitate.
"Don't mind it; the true martial stele has no offensive power. That invisible pressure is the true martial intent left by some strong individuals."
"Alright, let's go over there to verify your identity and activate the true martial stele."
Following Liu Feixu's instructions, Chen Chu approached the device at the wall.
"Welcome to the Heavenly Universe Think Tank System. Please enter your student ID for identity verification and pupil verification…"
"Identity verification successful. Please select the technique you wish to learn."
"You have chosen the advanced dragon elephant technique, learning requirement II + authority, three hundred contribution points…"
"Requirements met. Activating the Dragon Elephant Dominance Body will…"
Buzz!
Accompanied by the prompt, a pure energy surged into the gray stone stele through the ground channel.
Instantly, the stele emitted a slight vibration, and many patterns on it lit up, followed by the activation of a true martial intent.
Roar!
A dragon's roar echoed through the void, impacting the mind, filled with terrifying oppression, as if a true dragon had descended, shaking Chen Chu's will.
Liu Feixu continued, "Go ahead, place your hand on the true martial stele and swear, [I will never betray the Human Race]. Then you can inherit the Dragon Elephant Dominance Body."
"Also, when swearing, the stele will absorb a wisp of your soul's aura as proof of being an elite of the Human Race. This wisp will have no effect on you, so there's no need to worry."
Soul aura?
Chen Chu suppressed the impulse to accept the inheritance and turned back to Liu Feixu, puzzled, "Teacher, is it really necessary to go through all this trouble just to exchange for an advanced technique?"
Chen Chu didn’t know what soul aura was, but he understood that anything involving the soul was certainly significant.
Facing Chen Chu's question, Liu Feixu smiled faintly, "Actually, it wasn’t this complicated before. As long as one had cultivation talent, they could freely choose techniques, regardless of whether they were high-level or low-level."
"Because in that era, every individual with cultivation potential was extremely precious."
"But over a decade ago, due to one person's betrayal, the authorities began significant reforms, setting various thresholds and requirements, including the current school system."
"What kind of person could have such a huge impact?" Chen Chu asked, surprised.
Liu Feixu's tone became somewhat complex, "That was a genius."
