Chapter 343 - 128: Nangong Ba
However, for those who had been to the Star Realm, this side effect was actually a good thing.
Their speed would be greatly enhanced in the normal world.
However, it didn’t have much of an effect on Chen Yu.
His speed was already 200,000 times the speed of sound, so even if there was an increase, it wouldn’t be much.
Perhaps after his Skills improved, his speed could reach the speed of light.
"Chen Yu, over here!"
As he stepped out of the high tower, someone waved at him from in front of a black Hummer not far away.
It was none other than the director who had brought him here in the first place, Director Ji.
The directors from the other academies were also waiting with him.
"Goodbye. See you next time," Chen Yu said, looking at Zhuge Qingtian and Dongfang Yao.
"Brother Yu, we have to team up in the Stellar Battlefield too!" Zhuge Qingtian said with a wide smile.
Chen Yu nodded. Then, he strode over to Director Ji.
"Level 8 Late Stage!"
"You kid, how did you advance so fast?!"
Director Ji stared at Chen Yu, his face a mask of disbelief.
When he entered the Star Realm, Chen Yu was only at Level 6 Peak. Now, he had jumped two entire major levels.
Even knowing how miraculous the Star Realm was, such an incredible rate of improvement in just one month was still astounding.
"I was lucky. I ran into a few Star Springs and leveled up," Chen Yu said nonchalantly.
Director Ji snapped back to reality. He looked at Chen Yu and said, "Get in the car. We’ll talk more on the way back."
Chen Yu nodded, opened the car door, and got in.
With a ROAR, the Hummer sped away, heading out.
...
Upon reaching the Outer City of the Capital City, Director Ji and Chen Yu boarded a fighter jet to return to Jingzhou.
When they arrived at Jingzhou Academy, Chen Yu got off the plane and immediately spotted several figures in the distance.
The one in the lead was the Dean, and several of the academy’s Vice Deans had come as well.
Chen Yu went forward and greeted each of them.
The Dean looked Chen Yu up and down. "Not bad. You’ve improved faster than I imagined. You kid... I’m afraid I might not even be a match for your current strength."
Hearing the Dean’s words, the Vice Deans were startled.
’Was he really that incredible?!’
’They knew Chen Yu’s strength was astounding, but the Dean was a Ninth Level Peak!’
’For the Dean to say something like that, even if Chen Yu hadn’t surpassed him, he couldn’t be far behind.’
Chen Yu smiled. "You’re too kind, Dean. I still have a long way to go."
"You kid." The Dean laughed heartily, then pulled Chen Yu along with him.
"We’ve prepared a celebratory banquet for you today. Let’s go have a good meal."
"Thank you, Dean!"
...
They arrived at a private room in the academy’s dining hall. Seeing the table laden with delicacies, Chen Yu didn’t stand on ceremony.
For the past month in the Star Realm, he had basically subsisted on Energy Secret Medicine. He’d occasionally roast a Star Beast, but without any seasoning, the taste was far from good.
He had practically been living like a savage.
The moment he sat down, Chen Yu began to wolf down the food.
Watching Chen Yu devour his food, the Vice Deans cringed inwardly.
’He’s supposed to be one of the academy’s top elites. Anyone who didn’t know better would think he was a refugee.’
"Bring a few more dishes," Director Ji called out.
The server nodded and left the private room.
---
The meal lasted for a full two hours.
「Jingzhou Academy, Dean’s Office.」
Chen Yu lay on the sofa with a bulging belly, holding a cup of tea in his hand.
The Dean’s eyelid twitched as he looked at Chen Yu’s full stomach.
"But let’s get down to business. This time, you must have encountered quite a few elites from other worlds, right?" the Dean asked, looking at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu nodded. He patted his bulging belly with one hand, took a sip of tea, and let out a contented sigh before speaking. "Yeah, a few. But the strongest were the elites from the Azure Sky Star."
"You ran into elites from the Azure Sky Star?" the Dean asked, a look of surprise on his face.
Chen Yu nodded.
