Chapter 271: Chapter 25: In High Spirits
"But now I understand. This power itself... no, the very ability to achieve this power through Cultivation is a testament to wisdom and knowledge! We are merely studying, while Professor Su has already become a pioneer, blazing a new trail!"
"What are you saying!" Beside him, another middle-aged professor frowned and corrected his colleague. "According to the Daoist Saint, the Military Saint, and the Artifice Sage, when it comes to individual combat strength... Professor Su is likely already number one in the world!"
On the research ship, the other Tutors also began to discuss the matter with great enthusiasm.
"If an Otherworld passage like the one in the European Union appeared here in Zhengguo, you’d probably only need to send in Professor Su, and not a single Magical Beast would make it through!" one said in a tone of pure, unadulterated hype.
"No, no, that’s going too far. We’re talking about three hundred thousand Magical Beasts," said another, who wanted to join in on the praise but, upon reflection, found it too much of an exaggeration.
"As long as there were no more than fifty thousand, I believe that under the right weather conditions, Professor Su could theoretically annihilate an invading horde of Otherworld Magical Beasts all by himself," offered a third, with the voice of reason and calculated praise.
"Theoretically, yes, that’s true. But, you know... we’re talking about *the* Professor Su! I think he can transcend theory!" came the voice of a true die-hard fan.
Having forged the Heart of the Thunder Marsh, Su Zhou felt a profound sense of well-being course through him. The perfectly designed heart of Spiritual Power was now thrumming with unprecedented vitality and Blood Qi, pumping blood suffused with Spiritual Power to every inch of his body!
’So this is the feeling of power.’
High in the sky, clouds churned and lightning crackled to life. Su Zhou spread his arms. With every beat of his heart, savage Thunderbolt erupted from within him. Azure Thunder Light flowed around his entire body like armor forged from lightning itself.
He extended his right hand and clenched it. The violently surging lightning of Spiritual Qi condensed into the shape of a Javelin. Incinerated dust swirled around it like sparks. With a sharp cry, Su Zhou hurled it with all his might—in that instant, a blinding light flashed, and the Thunderbolt Javelin vanished.
At the same moment, a massive rift was torn open in the distant clouds, visible currents of electricity spreading out around it!
At that moment, Thunder Light flickered at the corners of Su Zhou’s eyes. He smiled, surveying the world around him. Nothing could obstruct his sight.
The Gale Armor allowed him to ride the wind. Even without storm clouds, he could generate his own Thunderbolt. The young man was brimming with vigor, a Gale wrapping around him and rustling his still-damp robes.
’So what if disaster comes from an Otherworld?’
At this moment, all the anxiety Su Zhou had felt about the Space-Time Passage was swept away by his newfound power. He laughed heartily. "I will cleanse all evil with my thunder and bring peace for ten thousand generations!"
"Not bad. That’s more like it." Even Yara offered a faint smile. "Maintain this momentum, and sweep aside all enemies on our journey!"
"That goes without saying!" came the firm reply.
「Half a month later.」
September 27, 2015. The month-long freshman training camp came to an end.
After a brief, three-day rest, the three A Class Extraordinary Academies each received a mysterious directive from the authorities.
All students in the practical combat and exploration departments were to follow the directive and proceed to the Northwest Plateau Mountains for a field exercise.
Others might have been confused, wondering why they were being sent to the Northwest Plateau, but Su Zhou, who knew the real reason, understood exactly what this directive meant.
The Kunlun Ruins, sealed for thousands of years, were about to be opened!
