Chapter 665 - 664: White Eagle Prodigy: Ninth Grade in One Night
Chapter 665: Chapter 664: White Eagle Prodigy: Ninth Grade in One Night
"What’s in it for me?"
Chu Sheng stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Li Guanlan.
The question made Li Guanlan’s brain short-circuit.
’Wait a minute.’
’You haven’t even asked me why I’m looking for you.’
’And you’re already asking what’s in it for you?’
’At the very least...’
’I’m your principal, for crying out loud!!!’
Li Guanlan finally understood.
He now knew why Chu Sheng had been able to stir up such a storm the moment he arrived at Jing University.
This mosquito didn’t play by the rules at all!
Still, Li Guanlan quite liked Chu Sheng’s personality.
He was direct, without all the usual convoluted nonsense.
"Ahem~~"
Li Guanlan cleared his throat and spoke slowly.
"Lord Divine Mosquito, I overheard you saying just now that you needed information about the ancient Insect Race?"
"Yes."
Chu Sheng nodded.
It wasn’t a secret, so there was no need to hide it.
Hearing this, Li Guanlan produced a corpse from his Spatial Ring.
The corpse had two pairs of transparent wings and looked somewhat like a bee.
However, it was over five meters long, jet-black, and had a stinger at its tail that glinted with a cold light.
"Does this Blood-Eroding Shadow Bee meet your requirements?"
The moment he saw the corpse, Chu Sheng’s system immediately displayed a notification.
[Ding! Moon-Eroding Shadow Bee Essence Blood detected. This Essence Blood contains the Bloodline Power of the ancient creature, the Moon-Eroding Shadow Bee. Absorb?]
Chu Sheng didn’t absorb it right away.
’System, can this Moon-Eroding Shadow Bee’s Bloodline be converted into Bloodline Power for the Mosquito Daoist?’
[Yes.]
’How much evolution progress can it provide?’
[0.1%.]
’That’s it?’
[This Moon-Eroding Shadow Bee is only at the Early Stage of the Emperor Realm, and its Bloodline is not pure enough.]
Chu Sheng looked up at Li Guanlan, shook his head, and said, "Just this one Moon-Eroding Shadow Bee is far from enough to get me to act."
Li Guanlan smiled. "I just happened to pick up this corpse in a Secret Realm last year."
"There are many more Moon-Eroding Shadow Bees in that Secret Realm."
"If you’re willing to help, I can give you the intel on this Secret Realm."
Chu Sheng’s compound eyes lit up instantly.
"You mean there are many more Moon-Eroding Shadow Bees of this level?"
Li Guanlan shook his head.
"This Moon-Eroding Shadow Bee’s strength is considered among the top tier in that Secret Realm."
"There are probably another thirty or forty at the Emperor Realm or above."
’That makes sense.’
’If Emperor Realm Demon Beasts roamed a Secret Realm in hordes...’
’...they would have charged out of the Secret Realm and taken over Blue Star long ago!’
’But a few dozen Emperor Realm beasts should be enough to raise the Mosquito Daoist’s Bloodline Power to 5%.’
With a thought, Chu Sheng stored the Moon-Eroding Shadow Bee corpse on the ground into his Primordial Grotto Heaven.
Then he asked, "Alright, spit it out. What do you need my help with?"
Li Guanlan didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
"The Global Youth Martial Dao Tournament is about to begin."
"I’d like to ask you to be the team leader for Great Xia’s delegation."
Chu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
He recalled last year’s Youth Martial Dao Tournament.
Back then, he and Gu Yuexi had joined forces, dominated the competition, and easily taken first place.
Because of that, Gu Yuexi had become the Divine Son.
"Why choose me as the leader?"
Chu Sheng was completely baffled.
A mosquito leading a group of Great Xia’s prodigies to an international competition...
Just thinking about the scene felt incredibly bizarre.
Li Guanlan’s expression instantly turned grave.
"There’s something wrong with this year’s Martial Dao Tournament."
"The White Eagle Empire has produced a true prodigy."
"I want you to go and see what’s so special about this prodigy."
Chu Sheng pointed a foreleg at himself and said, amused, "Could they be more of a prodigy than Lord Mosquito here?"
Li Guanlan shook his head, his tone extremely serious.
"The prodigy is a nine-year-old girl named Xue."
"She has only been in Cultivation for a month."
Chu Sheng grew even more puzzled.
"What Realm can you even reach after only a month of Cultivation?"
"Is it really worthy of the attention of someone in the Emperor Realm like you?"
"Ninth Grade in one night."
"King Realm in one month."
"Furthermore, according to our intelligence, her mastery of the Time Origin has likely already reached the level of a Law."
After Li Guanlan finished speaking, for the first time in his mosquito life, Chu Sheng felt truly shocked.
It had taken him over a year of Cultivation to reach the King Realm.
And that had been enough to make the entire Blue Star tremble.
And yet, a nine-year-old girl...
...had reached the King Realm in just one month!
And she had even grasped the most mysterious and unfathomable Time Law!
Talent like that was simply heaven-defying!!!
Chu Sheng was suddenly interested in this nine-year-old girl named "Xue."
Seeing that Chu Sheng’s interest was piqued, Li Guanlan dropped another bombshell.
"There’s one more thing, and it concerns you and Gu Yuexi."
"This Global Youth Martial Dao Tournament will be held in Ying Country."
"The final victor will become the new global Divine Son and will go directly to the Divine Level Secret Realm."
"What the fuck!!!"
Chu Sheng was instantly enraged.
"We haven’t even used our Divine Son slot!"
"Those old bastards actually dared to select a new Divine Son behind our backs!"
Li Guanlan explained with a wry smile, "While you were on the Alien Race’s planet..."
"...the Alien Races all over the world suddenly launched a frenzied, all-out offensive against humanity."
"Since Gu Yuexi has been missing, no one has entered the Divine Level Secret Realm."
"The White Eagle Empire seized the opportunity to propose that, for the sake of all humanity’s resistance against the Alien Races, a new Divine Son must be chosen as soon as possible to enter the Divine Level Secret Realm."
"The White Eagle Empire, under the slogan of ’serving the greater good,’ gained the support of all the other nations."
"Although we at Great Xia strongly opposed it, a single dissenting vote couldn’t change the final outcome."
"In the end, the best we could do was negotiate for the new Divine Son to be re-selected through the Global Youth Martial Dao Tournament."
"We just never expected that the White Eagle Empire was hiding a prodigy like Xue."
’Aren’t they just being thoroughly played by the White Eagle Empire?!’
A year ago.
Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi had participated in the Youth Martial Dao Tournament.
William from the White Eagle Empire, whose strength reached the Peak of Ninth-Grade after Beastification, had already driven all the other contestants to despair.
But this time, a King Realm contestant...
’Unless they let me, Chu Sheng, compete...’
’...otherwise, what’s the fucking point of even fighting?!’
’All the other countries might as well just surrender.’
’That girl, Xue, would definitely be the final victor.’
’She’d become the new global Divine Son.’
’And then, all the nations would have no choice but to band together and help her open the gate to the Divine Level Secret Realm!’
Thinking of this, Chu Sheng’s compound eyes suddenly lit up.
’When you guys open the Divine Level Secret Realm...’
’Lord Mosquito here can just fly in without anyone noticing.’
’Who would ever find out!!!’
’At that point, all the treasures in the Divine Level Secret Realm will be all mine!’
"Alright, I’ll take the job."
Hearing Chu Sheng agree, Li Guanlan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Excellent! The Youth Martial Dao Tournament is in three days."
"Lord Divine Mosquito, you can make a trip to the Blood Erosion Secret Realm I mentioned first. It won’t be too late to come back and lead the team afterward."
Then and there, Li Guanlan explained the detailed location of the Blood Erosion Secret Realm and the method to enter it to Chu Sheng.
After listening, Chu Sheng wasted no time.
Right there in the conference room, he unfurled his [Boundless Wings].
Space distorted slightly.
Chu Sheng’s figure vanished from the conference hall in an instant.
