Time slipped by unnoticed, and a full year had passed since Young Master Wang returned from the Black Wind Mountain ruins.
In the blink of an eye, it's that time of year again for college graduations, which is also the most glorious moment for all young awakened individuals across the country.
After another year of honing their skills, the members of Nantong once again shone brightly at the martial arts tournament.
Chu Xiaoman, Wu Huan, Mei Yiqi, and others, who have already graduated from their third year of university, have also grown up completely, and have even turned the final of this martial arts tournament into an internal battle among Nanjing University students.
A year later, he once again helped Jingnan University achieve the title of the top university!
These three natural awakeners from the same year as Wang Dashao have completely outpaced their peers. Not only have they all entered the B-level awakener stage, but Wu Huan, who has been tempered the most in life and death, has even touched the threshold of A-level.
While Wang Dashao's special tutoring played a part, the main reason for this was Nanjing University's unique learning environment.
Moreover, having learned her lesson from the previous defeat in the martial arts tournament, Chu Xiaoman was determined to improve.
Knowing that his special ability couldn't significantly boost his combat power, he simply devoted all his energy to cultivating alien beasts, and the result was naturally remarkable!
Thanks to the beast-taming skills that Young Master Wang obtained through deception and the costless feeding of demon beast meat, the two Azure Phoenixes, which were only the size of adults last year, have grown exceptionally strong. Their wingspan is now so large that it blots out the sky, and they have long since surpassed the size of their mother.
As for the mutated yellow phoenix, it was even larger than its sisters, surrounded by rich earth elements, and exuded a stronger aura than ordinary sixth-grade exotic beasts.
Thanks to the fierce performance of these two strange beasts, Chu Xiaoman was virtually invincible in this martial arts tournament. In the end, she even defeated her good friend Wu Huan to win the championship.
However, this young lady wasn't excited after winning first place, and even made some boastful remarks during the interview.
"After all, one of my classmates had already won the martial arts tournament finals. I don't think there's anything to be proud of until I catch up with him!"
These words caused an uproar. While reporters from various tabloids were relieved that they could finally fabricate some sensational stories, they naturally thought of the youngest master at Nanjing University who lived a secluded life and had not appeared in public for a long time.
Speaking of which, the last time Grandmaster Wang Zheng made an appearance was at the previous martial arts tournament.
The reporters, always eager to create a big story, were about to ask Wang Zheng for details, but Chu Xiaoman, who had already put on a show, ignored their questions and walked off the podium with a straight face, preparing to receive the award from the Ministry of Education.
As for these rewards, most of the cultivation techniques were obtained by Wang Zheng. Chu Xiaoman and Wu Huan naturally didn't care for them. They simply exchanged a demon king's inner core and some liquid spiritual energy for them and left in a hurry.
Seeing the students from South University ride giant spirit birds and soar into the sky, the surrounding contestants were filled with envy, and Fang Zhenxing, the president of Imperial Capital University, could only smile wryly.
"Looks like next year's martial arts tournament really will be held in southern Beijing. Oh well, it's the era of the young now. I'll be retiring in two years anyway, so I might as well give up..."
...
The reason why everyone from Nantong left in such a hurry was naturally because that irresponsible young master Wang sent a message to Chu Xiaoman and then disappeared.
There are more and more wonderful things on the Nanjing University campus now, with all kinds of spiritual plants and medicinal fields everywhere, which are inseparable from people.
If Wang Zheng were still in seclusion at Nanjing University, it wouldn't be a problem to entrust him with taking care of these treasures in his spare time. But this guy is just so capricious, always disappearing at the drop of a hat, so of course Chu Xiaoman, his deputy, has to take care of them.
Speaking of which, apart from Wu Huan, who has already confirmed that he will officially report to the Jingnan Military Region for practical training after returning, Mei Yiqi, He Yiyi, and other top students from the Class of 2026 are all ready to stay at the school.
Chu Xiaoman goes without saying; even if Wang Zheng really becomes the principal, she will definitely have a place on the school council.
After all, Nanjing University is the culmination of her grandfather's life's work, and she naturally has to take over the mantle well.
As the group from Nanjing University flew back on the blue phoenix, they learned the reason for their hasty return. He Yiyi, who had broken into the top 100, asked curiously:
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Wang Zheng in a long time, and I haven't seen him make a move in even longer. By the way, do you know what his strength is now? I haven't seen the Grandmaster Ranking updated."
Although Mei Yiqi, who was standing to the side, was also puzzled as to what Wang Zheng was busy with, he had great confidence in him.
"Only a fool would believe that Grandmaster Ranking. That thing is just a comfort to the public. As for Wang Zheng, I would believe you if you said he was the best in the country!"
He Yiyi, who was standing to the side, also looked incredulous upon hearing this.
"Really? I didn't realize! Xiaomei, you've always disliked Wang Zheng, but I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of him..."
Mei Yiqi was speechless with exasperation and could only let out a cold snort in silence.
Hearing the two seniors chatting so enthusiastically, the second-year students who had come to see what was going on all perked up their ears to listen carefully to the story of this legendary senior.
Only Wu Huan, with his aloof expression, asked Chu Xiaoman, who was perched on the neck of the blue phoenix:
"Did the captain say where he's going this time? Come to think of it, we haven't seen him in a long time. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Is something wrong?"
Chu Xiaoman, who had just won first place in the martial arts tournament, was also completely bewildered.
