Chapter 304 119: Gathering in the Capital City
An Ran gave a general overview of what she knew about the Star Realm.
Chen Yu compared it with his own information and the files the Dean had given him. It was all more or less the same.
"That's the gist of it. I don't know anything more,"
An Ran said.
Chen Yu nodded.
"Brother Yu, if you go to the Star Realm and get the chance, how about you get me some Star Spring Water?" An Ran asked, batting her eyes at him.
'Star Spring Water...'
Chen Yu looked at An Ran.
An Ran continued, "It's unique to the Star Realm; you can't get it anywhere else. Just bring a little back for me. I want to try it. I'll even pay you for it."
"Alright. If I get a chance, I'll bring some back for you." Chen Yu didn't refuse.
Bringing back some Star Spring Water was a simple enough task.
"I'll be waiting for the good news!" An Ran said, her face beaming with joy.
They chatted for a little while longer before parting ways. Chen Yu continued toward the Dean's office.
...
A few moments later, Chen Yu arrived at the door to the Dean's office.
He knocked, and the Dean's voice came from within.
"Come in."
Hearing the Dean's voice, Chen Yu pushed the door open and entered.
The Dean was organizing documents at his desk. "Have a seat," he said without looking up. "I'll be done with this in a moment."
Chen Yu nodded and sat down comfortably on the plush sofa.
He picked up an unopened bottle of mineral water from the table and, without hesitation, twisted it open and took a sip.
...
Soon, the Dean finished with the documents. He stood up, walked over to Chen Yu, and looked him up and down.
"What kind of secret medicine did you take? How has your Spirit, Essence, and Qi improved so much?"
The Dean stared at him in surprise.
Sensing his aura, Chen Yu's Life Qi Blood and Life Fluctuations seemed to be on par with his own.
Even a Life Secret Medicine couldn't possibly cause such a massive improvement.
He was on a completely different level compared to yesterday.
This level of Life Qi Blood probably surpassed that of an average Ninth-level Martial Artist.
"I have a good constitution and recover quickly. I also had a bit of a breakthrough in my cultivation," Chen Yu said with a calm expression.
"A good constitution..."
The Dean gave him a long, deep look but didn't press the issue. He sat down and faced Chen Yu. "As long as you've recovered, that's what matters. Your file has already been updated. Tomorrow, you will attend the opening ceremony and your personal celebration."
Chen Yu nodded.
The Dean's expression turned serious. "Don't go running around for a while. Stay put at the academy. You'll be heading to the Star Realm soon, and the Heterodox Sect and the Alien Races have been restless lately. Don't stir up any trouble."
Hearing this, Chen Yu thought about the members of the Alien Race and Heterodox Sect he had run into the day before.
Looking at the Dean, he asked curiously, "Dean, are the Alien Races and the Heterodox Sect planning something big?"
The Dean took a sip of tea. "The situation is unclear. The Heterodox Sect and the Alien Races have been making frequent moves, and disturbances have broken out in several places. As for their ultimate goal, we don't have any concrete information yet."
"I ran into some yesterday,"
Chen Yu said.
"?"
The Dean stared at him, stunned for a moment. "You ran into them? You ran into people from the Heterodox Sect?"
Chen Yu shook his head. "Not just them. There was also an Alien Race member, from the Demon Lizard Race."
"That can't be right. There weren't any reports of that at the hospital yesterday. Don't tell me they snuck in?" the Dean asked, frowning at Chen Yu.
"They didn't sneak into the hospital. I just couldn't sleep, so I went for a stroll and happened to run into them," Chen Yu said, his expression unflappable.
The Dean: "..."
"And the result?"
the Dean asked, looking at Chen Yu.
"I sent them on their way. They passed peacefully," Chen Yu replied.
"..."
'Passed peacefully...'
The Dean's eye twitched as he looked at Chen Yu.
After a long moment, he regained his composure. "As long as you dealt with it, that's fine. But next time, it's best you report it. The Heterodox Sect isn't as simple as you think."
"Does the Heterodox Sect also have a True God?" Chen Yu asked the Dean.
The Dean took another sip of tea. "It's unclear if they have a True God, but they certainly have a fair number of top-tier powerhouses."
"Just lay low for a while and don't go running off. We can't have any mishaps with the arrangements for the Star Realm."
Chen Yu looked at the Dean and said, "So when do we head to the Star Realm?"
"Sometime within the month. We'll give you advance notice of the specific date," the Dean said.
Chen Yu nodded.
...
Half an hour later, Chen Yu left the Dean's office and returned to his residence.
He had Sophie clean the room while he went to the training room to cultivate.
The next day, early in the morning, a large crowd of students had gathered in the academy's central plaza.
Today was the opening ceremony, and nearly every student was required to attend.
Except, of course, for those with special circumstances.
Chen Yu also arrived at the plaza early that morning and gazed out at the massive, sprawling crowd of students.
This was the second time such a huge number of students had gathered together.
From first-years to fourth-years, whether from the elite or regular classes, ninety-nine percent of the students were present.
"Brother Yu, you're the star of the show today. This is quite the grand affair,"
Ma Xiang said with a grin, looking at the lavishly constructed central stage beside them.
A personal celebration at the Superpower Academy was an extremely rare event.
The last person to be honored with a personal celebration was Dongfang Yi.
But Dongfang Yi had already graduated.
To stand out among all the Awakened and achieve such glorious strength—Ma Xiang felt like it was all a dream.
He recalled their days of fleeing through the wilderness, where they were just trying to survive.
And now, in just a year, the changes had been beyond imagination.
Their escape through the wilderness felt like it was just yesterday. Everything felt surreal, like a dream.
