Chapter 325: Chapter 157: A Great Harvest! (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_3
Xu Zhou pondered for two seconds and said, "I’m not very sure either. I didn’t feel much at the time; maybe it’s because of the Circulation Acupoints..."
"Circulation Acupoints?"
Wu Qingshan was stunned upon hearing this.
So, there really is such a possibility!
After all, Circulation Acupoints are legendary acupoints, and there’s only one known case in humans. It might indeed counteract the influence of the Moon God.
Seeing this, Xu Zhou also breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn’t know how to explain this matter, so he could only use the Circulation Acupoints as a cover.
Fortunately, judging by everyone’s expression, they seemed to believe it.
"Since it’s because of the Circulation Acupoints, that’s good." Wu Qingshan also sighed in relief and said, "I can also explain this matter to certain higher-ups."
Xu Zhou showed a look of confusion.
Wu Qingshan said, "After that tournament, many top officials noticed you. If today’s matter gets out, people will think you’re associated with the Moon God Sect."
He laughed and said, "With this explanation, I’m not afraid of them spreading rumors."
"I see."
Xu Zhou nodded slightly, but inside, he felt a change. It seems that the reforms in the Divine Martial Department have infringed on the interests of many.
Although he is not the leader of this matter, it is closely related to the future of the True Martial Department.
This seemingly peaceful Yan Country is probably already full of undercurrents, with many people watching him secretly, ready to blow any unusual situation out of proportion.
"I must get stronger quickly." Xu Zhou felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
He foresaw that an unprecedented upheaval would occur next.
Only by becoming stronger can he have the confidence to deal with these.
Luckily, he gained a lot from this battle and could directly advance to the third-grade and condense the Divine Skills seed when he returned.
By then, even against a strong Fourth Rank martial artist, he would have the power to fight.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhou felt relieved.
"Alright, let’s head back." Wu Qingshan laughed, seeing that Xu Zhou was fine, and he too felt relieved.
Xu Zhou nodded, and Wu Qingshan lifted him up, instantly crossing dozens of miles, flying towards Phoenix Valley.
...
In Phoenix Valley, four peak Ninth Grade strongmen had already left.
Only Qian Wanjiang and some students remained there awaiting.
Soon, Wu Qingshan and others returned with Xu Zhou.
"This encirclement operation is now over!"
Wu Qingshan announced loudly, "The students of Imperial Martial Arts University will be escorted by Academician Qian, and the rest follow me back to Guang Han Martial University!"
From below, a student shouted, "Principal Wu, do our kill contributions still count?"
"Of course, they count!"
Wu Qingshan smiled and said, "Fine, since you’re eager, we’ll settle it here!"
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Wanchen beside him.
Shen Wanchen nodded and immediately stood out, shouting, "The following is the settlement list, ranked from front to back!"
"First place, Xu Zhou! Killed one Fourth Rank martial artist, two late third-grade, four early third-grade, and nine peak Second Grade!"
"Reward: 24,500 contribution points!"
The entire place fell silent!
Shen Wanchen’s first words left everyone stunned.
How...how much?
Over twenty thousand contribution points?
But what was even more shocking was Xu Zhou’s record.
"Killed a Fourth Rank?"
"Isn’t Xu Zhou only late Second Grade? It’s one thing to kill a third-grade, but even a Fourth Rank martial artist?"
"How is that possible!!"
Among those who came, who wasn’t one of the nation’s top talents, making leapfrog challenges commonplace?
But for a Second Grade to kill a Fourth Rank; this has never happened in the history of Blue Star!
For a moment, everyone’s faces were filled with shock.
Beside Xu Zhou, Xia Liyue looked at him suspiciously.
"Are you really late Second Grade?" she couldn’t help but ask.
"Still am," Xu Zhou nodded and said, "But after going back this time, I should soon reach third-grade."
"Third-grade..." Xia Liyue fell silent.
This guy is so fierce even at late Second Grade, what would he become at third-grade?
"You must have used some external aid to kill Yue Huarong, right?" Xia Liyue thought for a moment and couldn’t help but ask.
Xu Zhou pondered for a moment and nodded, "Sort of."
That spiritual body can indeed be considered an external aid.
Xia Liyue breathed a sigh of relief, took out a lollipop, and put it in her mouth.
Sure enough! She knew that Xu Zhou couldn’t possibly be a match for a Fourth Rank with just his own strength.
She herself was at the peak of Fourth Rank, fully aware of the gap between Fourth and Third grades.
It’s not just a gap of realms, but a gap between the Lower Three Grades and the Middle Third Grade, a difference in the level of life!
For a third-grade to defeat a Fourth Rank, without external aid, it’s basically impossible.
"No matter what, you’re impressive." Xia Liyue smiled sweetly and said outright, "I misjudged you before."
She previously thought Xu Zhou couldn’t handle a late third-grade, but the truth slapped her in the face.
"A high-grade invincible seed..."
At this moment, Xia Liyue suddenly realized why her grandfather said that.
This guy, just within the Second Grade Realm, shows such sharpness; if he truly achieves high-grade in the future, his hope of walking that path is far greater than anyone else’s!
...
Soon, Shen Wanchen completed the settlement of everyone’s rankings and rewards.
Besides Xu Zhou, no one else had over ten thousand contribution points.
Surprisingly, Xia Liyue only had a pitiful few hundred contribution points.
During this battle, she had been fighting Chen Meifang, but in the end, it wasn’t her who scored the kill but was easily finished off by a peak Ninth Grade.
So she didn’t gain much contribution.
Xia Liyue was quite angry: "That damned old guy, already at peak Ninth Grade, still wants to steal my contribution!"
Wu Qingshan laughed and said, "Contact your grandfather, and then settle accounts with him."
"Forget it, forget it." Xia Liyue huffed, "I don’t care about that bit of contribution anyway, and my mission this time is considered complete."
Speaking of this, her cheeks blushed slightly.
Grandpa had asked her to protect Xu Zhou, but frankly, she didn’t provide much protection.
Instead, there were several times when Xu Zhou was in danger, and she couldn’t free herself.
Fortunately, Xu Zhou had a big fate and remained safe until now; otherwise, she’d have no face to go back.
"Never mind, anyway, after going back this time, I’ll head to Guang Han. This guy won’t have much to do with me short-term." Xia Liyue comforted herself.
She admitted Xu Zhou’s talent, but she had already reached the peak of Fourth Grade and could break through to the fifth-grade at any time.
And Xu Zhou was only at Second Grade; even if he broke through to third-grade, he was still far behind her.
Xu Zhou wouldn’t be doing missions with her again for a while.
The gap between them was too great!
Wu Qingshan didn’t bother with her anymore. With the rankings settled, this encirclement operation officially ended.
On the side, Zhong Changchang looked at Xu Zhou and said with a smile, "Xu Zhou, it’s almost the New Year. Are you going back to Linjiang City for a visit?"
Xu Zhou nodded and said, "I should go home and visit."
It’s too close to Linjiang City, and with the New Year approaching, it wouldn’t be right not to go home for a visit.
Zhong Changchang laughed, "Great, then I’ll take you back."
"No need to trouble City Lord Zhong." Shen Wanchen said calmly, "I’ll accompany him, and then we’ll return to campus together."
Regarding Xu Zhou, he felt it necessary to personally escort him.
It’s the New Year season, but also the most chaotic time!
He absolutely would not allow anything to happen to Xu Zhou on his way home or back to the university.
Seeing Shen Wanchen’s stance, Xu Zhou also felt relieved.
Just as well, he wanted to break through to third-grade as soon as possible. Originally, going home would have delayed him, but with his mentor’s presence, he had no worries.
Now everything was ready, and after this home visit, he could directly attempt a breakthrough!
