Chapter 106: Chapter 85: Dragon Transformation Sword Intent, Number One Person in Luocheng’s History

"It seems we still underestimated Lu Tongxue’s talent. Even though it was his first time seeing the White-faced Spider execute its Leg Technique...

"He not only learned it in no time but even managed to combine the Leg Technique with his own Swordsmanship.

"With such comprehension, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all to call him a peerless genius!

"Teacher Chen, why did First High School place a student with so much potential in the Human Dao Class?"

Hearing the questions from the teachers of other schools beside him, Chen Fugui smiled and replied, "It’s quite a coincidence, actually. Although First High School also considers a student’s comprehension when dividing classes...

"Perhaps Lu hadn’t unlocked his potential at that time, or maybe for some other reason, he didn’t display the astonishing comprehension talent he has now.

"Furthermore, because his foundation was significantly affected by the Black Lotus Chaos ten years ago, his Spirit Root Talent barely reached the Low Grade. That’s why he was assigned to the Human Dao Class."

"But looking at his file, he has already reached the level of a Top Grade Spiritual Root. What happened to him later?"

Hearing this, Chen Fugui immediately brought up the matter of the Purple Mist Health Cultivation Technique.

When they heard that Lu Chen had actually cultivated the Purple Mist Health Cultivation Technique to Great Success in just a few short months, the crowd revealed envious looks. After all, a Cultivation Technique sometimes truly depended on the individual.

Perfect compatibility with a Cultivation Technique was not an excuse Lu Chen had randomly made up back then; it was something that genuinely occurred within the Immortal Alliance. And such cases were not in the minority.

Now, through Chen Fugui’s explanation, not only the teachers from other schools but also the surrounding Daoist School investigators had pretty much learned everything about Lu Chen.

This situation was actually intentionally orchestrated by Chen Fugui. He wanted the investigators and the Daoist Schools behind them to know exactly how immense Lu Chen’s potential was. This way, when these investigators tried to recruit Lu Chen into their Daoist Schools, they would have to bleed heavily to offer a substantial price.

After all, although the Four Great Dao Schools were behemoths standing at the very pinnacle of the entire Immortal Alliance, facing a monster like Lu Chen, it was no longer a question of whether the Daoist Schools were willing to accept him. It was a matter of which Daoist School Lu Chen wanted to enter. The right to choose lay in Lu Chen’s hands.

Although Chen Fugui hadn’t discussed future aspirations with Lu Chen yet, as the son of Luocheng’s wealthiest man, he had grown up immersed in business and understood certain operational tactics. He knew exactly how to help Lu Chen secure the maximum benefits from the several Daoist Schools.

It should be noted that among the investigators currently present, only two were from the Four Great Dao Schools; the other two hadn’t sent anyone. However, after his recent eloquent speech, there would definitely be teachers present who would pass this news onto the remaining two Daoist Schools. Only by bringing all Four Great Dao Schools into the game could Lu Chen have more choices and obtain better benefits.

As for whether Chen Fugui himself could gain any benefits from this, to be honest, he didn’t care at all. He would even sacrifice his own interests so Lu Chen could have better options. After all, to him, it was merely a matter of spending some money. And was money ever an issue? Chen Fugui lacked many things, but money wasn’t one of them!

Therefore, Chen Fugui genuinely and unreservedly hoped for a better future for Lu Chen. After all, money could buy all sorts of precious items, but it couldn’t buy the title of being a Great Cultivator’s esteemed teacher. And things that money couldn’t buy were exactly what Chen Fugui desired the most.

Thus, even though the exam wasn’t over yet, Chen Fugui already had an idea in mind. After this exam, he would personally sponsor Lu Chen with a massive sum.

He didn’t particularly care whether this sponsorship would yield adequate returns. After all, as long as he was happy, money was no object! Was the money spent on Lu Chen any different from the money he spent chasing girls? If he invested the same amount of money in a student like Lu Chen, who was practically guaranteed admission to the Four Great Dao Schools, his father would only praise him for growing up. But if he spent it on girls, his father would merely tell him to mind his hygiene. Did he even need to consider his choice?

Ten days into the three-school joint exam.

Although ten days had passed inside the exam venue, only a single day had elapsed in reality. However, in just these ten days, nearly all of the original eight hundred or so examinees had been eliminated, leaving only a scant forty-something people inside the venue.

According to the situations of previous exams, although a considerable number of people would be eliminated by the tenth day of the joint exam, it would absolutely not be like this time, where nearly ninety percent of the students were knocked out. The reason it turned out this way ultimately boiled down to three people: Lu Chen, Mu Xiaoye, and Shen Feiyang.

Because these three had each slain at least one Foundation Establishment Evil Object, the remaining Foundation Establishment Evil Objects within the ruins of Jade Mountain City had formed a rare alliance.

It should be known that the words ’Nine Nether’ never represented a single Race, but rather a geographical name, similar to the ’Nine Provinces’. Since there were so many Sect factions within the borders of the Nine Provinces, the same naturally applied among the Nine Nether Evil Objects.

It was just that the Nine Nether Evil Objects appearing in Jade Mountain City all belonged to a Nine Nether Tribe called ’Black Rock’. That was why they could cooperate in the short term. However, even if they belonged to the same tribe, there were still competitive relationships among them.
