CHAPTER: We Are All Ordinary People
November 1st, the day when contribution points are credited each month.
Chen Chu had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
With contribution points, he could exchange them for Life Crystals; with Life Crystals, he could transform attribute points to enhance his cultivation progress.
Unfortunately, Chen Chu found that he had an average talent for comprehension-based techniques.
After advancing the dragon elephant skill to the double heaven, he was steadily improving, but the mind's eye bright blade was still at the entry level, and after so long of cultivation, he hadn't fully entered the heart eye realm.
This was still under the condition of having a fixed proficiency on the attribute page.
This made him doubt whether he lacked talent in this area or if it was due to the 'splitting' of his soul, which affected his mental comprehension.
But regardless of the reason, he would not let it stop him from forcibly breaking through the sword technique realm today with the help of attribute enhancement.
However, as soon as Chen Chu arrived at school, he received news of a gathering for all double heaven freshmen.
In the teaching building's conference room, when Chen Chu walked in, he found many familiar faces had already arrived; almost all of the top fifty freshmen were there, including the top-ranked An Fuqing.
In the month following the ranking competition, nearly everyone on the list had broken through to double heaven.
In addition, there were some 'geniuses' who were just slightly behind them, like Xia Youhui and Luo Fei, who also broke through in the latter half of the month.
The conference room was large, and the seventy-plus students only occupied a small part of it. Chen Chu sat down in the circle of Class Three.
He looked at Luo Fei beside him and asked in confusion, “Why the sudden gathering? Is something wrong?”
The girl whispered, “It should be related to Keluoya.”
Chen Chu nodded thoughtfully, recalling the rumors circulating in the school over the past few days.
Before long, several teachers entered, led by a middle-aged man wearing glasses, followed by Lin Xiong from Class One and Pang Long.
After the glasses-wearing teacher sat down, he glanced around the conference room and nodded in satisfaction, “Not bad, we have so many freshmen breaking through to double heaven in the first semester this year.”
As he spoke, he introduced himself, “Hello everyone, I am Hong Zetian, the director of Martial High. I have been away from school for some time, so this is my first time meeting you all.”
“I gathered you here to discuss matters concerning the Keluoya Region.”
“Currently, top universities in the country have received notices from above, requiring them to organize a batch of freshmen for training, with a minimum requirement of double heaven.”
“Our school, after research, has decided to respond to this call and organize a batch of freshmen to participate.”
At this moment, An Fuqing in the front row raised her hand. Hong Zetian paused, having some impression of this top freshman, and nodded slightly at her.
“This student, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
The girl stood up, puzzled, “Teacher, I have been paying attention to the situation in Keluoya, and there are definitely seventh-level powerhouses there who can ignore heavy firepower.”
“Against such high-level cultivators, we double heaven freshmen wouldn’t be of much help, right?”
She phrased it very politely, not directly saying it would be a death sentence.
In response to this question, Hong Zetian smiled slightly, “There’s no need to worry about that. Those high-level powerhouses will naturally have someone to deal with them; your target will be those ordinary cult members.”
“Although Keluoya is currently chaotic, it is not a match for the vast Federation and will soon have powerful cultivators stepping in.”
“Once the rebels and the cult of the evil god’s powerhouses are suppressed, the remaining work will be handled by university students and stationed military personnel together.”
