As the birthplace of physical techniques, Shang Jing University was naturally the place with the highest concentration of physical masters. The Yong Hong Hall was the place where the physical masters of Shang Jing University studied physical techniques.
Generally speaking, after becoming a physical warrior, one's lifespan could reach up to a hundred years. Physical masters could live up to two to three hundred years without any problems. However, this did not mean that the longer one lived, the more powerful one would be. Instead, as one's body aged day by day, not only would one's battle prowess decrease, but one's body would also slowly lose energy. Everything in the universe had to abide by the law of conservation of energy. Even the stars would eventually wither and fall …
Apart from that, the Yong Hong Hall was also the location of the Shang Jing University's highest management, the school council. The school council was jointly headed by thirteen deacons, all of whom were physical masters. Since this year's enrollment had ended, the deacons rarely gathered together.
At the head of the table sat a skinny old man with a long beard. He was the vice-principal of Shang Jing University, Pei Hong. He was close to two hundred years old this year and had already become a physical master more than a hundred years ago. Although time had slowly whittled away at his life, his eyes had become as deep as the abyss.
Pei Hong took a sip of tea and said, "This year, our school recruited five hundred students as usual. In addition, we also recruited three hundred and twenty specially invited students. This is considered a new record. Have you all found any good seedlings?"
A white-haired old man smiled and said, "This time, eighty percent of the eight hundred and twenty students have five A grades, all of them having the strength of a middle level physical warrior. The other twenty percent, although not very strong in battle, have other outstanding aspects. This is a rare year of good harvest since the establishment of our school."
"Oh, Mr. Yun, can you explain in detail?" Pei Hong was not in charge of daily affairs, but this time, he was interested.
Mr. Yun drank the tea beside him in one gulp, ignoring the tea foam on his white beard. He said excitedly, "This time, a total of twenty-three students have already started receiving energy infusions. They are not inferior to the students of our school's advanced classes.
Among them, the Thirteenth Prince of the Imperial Qian Family, Tuoba Yong of the Tuoba Family, and Luo Xuan of the Northern Garrison Luo Clan are all peerless geniuses that only appear once in a thousand years. The Thirteenth Prince cultivates the Imperial Heavenly Class Body Art, Prairie Blazing Spear Art, and it is said that he has already cultivated it to the initial stage. As for Tuoba Yong of the Tuoba Family, he is a strong man that is hard to come by in a billion people. I think he is not much worse than those Titans. Lastly, Luo Xuan of the Luo Clan is a natural affinity with the Ice Spirit.
As soon as he finished speaking, a bearded old man with a rough appearance continued, "There's also Xin Yong from the Yan Ling Kingdom in the northwest. This person is also a dual cultivator of energy and physique. He calls himself the Master of the Earth. As long as he's on the earth, he possesses boundless strength. I reckon that he's invincible under the realm of physique masters!"
As the two spoke, Pei Hong's face didn't have the slightest hint of joy. Instead, it became more and more serious. If there were only one or two geniuses, it would be fine. However, there were four of them. The birth of any one of these geniuses was a great opportunity for the human race. It wasn't necessarily a good thing for the human race.
An old man with squinted eyes said, "Everyone, although these people you mentioned are peerless geniuses that only appear once in a thousand years, in the end, they will only become powerful warriors. To the entire human race, they are insignificant."
Teacher Yun immediately became unhappy, "Old Ou, you're talking nonsense again. These people will be the pillars of the human race in the future. Becoming a physique master will be as easy as taking something out of one's pocket. At the very least, they will be great generals that lead a region. How can they be insignificant?"
Old Ou slightly opened his eyes and slowly took a sip of tea. Then, he said, "However, I found a genius that is very important to the human race. Although this girl doesn't know any physique skills, she has a deep understanding of the" Nine Extreme Numerology ". Mathematics is the beginning of all learning. In the future, it is very likely that our human civilization will make a leap forward."
Pei Hong's expression changed, "Are you talking about the little girl from the Three-Eyed Race?"
"Yes, the Three-Eyed Race has a deep understanding of fate. Su Chengbo is indeed the leader of this generation of the Three-Eyed Race. This little girl of his has a preliminary understanding of the Nine Extreme Numerology. We humans are born with weak physiques. It is impossible to rely on physique skills to defeat ferocious beasts. Only the combination of physique skills and technology is possible."
Pei Hong nodded and murmured, "There are very few children of the Three-Eyed Race. I came to Shang Jing University to study. A few days ago, Su Chengbo suddenly came to me. I gave him three places to enroll. Other than this little girl, there are two more people."
Beside the meeting room, a man wearing glasses who looked like a secretary said, "Principal, there is another one called Sun Xiaoxue. Her physique skills are average. The other one is called Luo Kai. His file hasn't been established yet."
These physical teachers had lost their competitive spirit as their bodies aged bit by bit. Instead, they put all their efforts into researching the path of evolution and nurturing students. Naturally, they were extremely excited to discover so many good seedlings, and began to whisper to each other.
However, Pei Hong's expression became more and more dignified. He kept silent. Old Ou seemed to know what he was thinking. He sighed, "When the world is in chaos, there will be evildoers. This year, there are suddenly so many talented students. This is not a good sign."
The meeting room quieted down. After reaching the level of physique masters, they all had some understanding of the mysterious cloud of qi. Their expressions changed.
Old Ou suddenly smiled and said, "Crisis may represent opportunity. When the world is in chaos, there will be saints. We old men don't need to worry. Even if the sky falls, there will be a tall one to hold it up."
"The Saint Master has been in seclusion for a long time. I think he will come out soon. We will ask him for advice then." Pei Hong stood up with a serious face and ended the meeting.
…
Luo Kai and Tuoba Ye were strolling in the valley and chatting. Tuoba Yong, who was behind them, couldn't help but catch butterflies and insects. Soon, he caught a lot of butterflies and insects. He carefully held them in his hands and laughed happily.
"Little Yong, you can go back. Remember to look for your master Luo Kai every Sunday." Tuoba Ye turned around and instructed.
"Oh. Goodbye, Father. Goodbye, Master." Tuoba Yong waved his hand and the butterflies in his hands immediately flew away.
Looking at Tuoba Yong's back, Luo Kai couldn't help but sigh. The Heavenly Dao was flawed. The Heavens gave him innate strength but took away his wisdom.
"I would rather he didn't have this strength and be an ordinary person." Tuoba Ye's expression was a little sad.
Luo Kai patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are not a fish, how can you know the happiness of a fish? Sometimes, the more you know, the more troubles you will have. Xiao Yong was born with the emptiness of the soul that we have always pursued. I think this is his blessing.
"Staying with you always makes me relax. Damn it, I might as well move in with you!"
"Don't. You will annoy me to death if you move in with me!"
After walking around, Tuoba Ye's face showed a tangled expression, "Xiao Kai, I won't hide it from you. Little Yong was not born with a lack of wisdom. He was very smart when he was young …"
After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "When Little Yong was eleven years old, something went wrong when he was practicing my Tuoba family's Heavenly Level Body Technique" Tian Luo Energy ". Later on, his intelligence has been declining, but his strength has been increasing. This is my family's secret. Little Yong is not smart. If he was deceived by others, it would be troublesome. I shouldn't have told you this, but you are so smart that you might find a way to solve it."
Luo Kai frowned. Whether it was innate or acquired, the "Dao" pursued balance. The "Dao" took away what was in excess and made up for what was in deficiency. To change this balance was to go against the will of the heavens. Recently, his understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth was getting deeper and deeper. Everything had to follow the will of the heavens to get closer to the "Dao". But to go against the will of the heavens was to go against the will of the heavens.
