Chapter 1717 - 1716: I Am Your Hero

"That’s right. Currently at Wanxian University, there are about 10 students who have reached the Heavenly Master Realm."

Ten people.

Fang Yu felt utterly astonished.

When he first broke through to this realm, it was extremely difficult. He had taken many detours. At that time, no one guided him, and though his talent was decent, it couldn’t compare to Ye Wenjun’s. Yet, he had always been at the forefront on the path of cultivation.

Since he embarked on the cultivation journey, no one had surpassed him.

However, he hadn’t expected Wanxian University students to be such extraordinary beings.

But thinking about it, on such a vast Earth, with so many people, it’s reasonable to find so many geniuses.

Just like Huaqing University in the past. Geniuses from all over the country, each one the top or second in their provinces or cities. Either valedictorian or salutatorian.

Each one an elite.

All first-class geniuses.

With preexisting experiences, it’s natural they find faster ways to break through.

With such geniuses existing, there’s hope for humanity.

Fang Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"Since that’s the case, let’s have them all come together."

"All together?"

"Yes, summon Chen Daotian and all these genius students here. The sooner, the better."

Before Ding Chunqiu could continue speaking,

Fang Yu directly interrupted him.

"Don’t tell me it’s a crucial moment. Nothing is more critical than my issue."

"..."

That was indeed true.

After all.

For everyone to find the breakthrough to the Great God Lord’s information, it was entirely due to your contribution.

That was no small feat.

Judging from Fang Yu’s expression, he seemed to have an even more important announcement.

So Ding Chunqiu didn’t dare to delay further.

He quickly went to contact these individuals.

Upon hearing the news of Fang Yu’s return, Chen Daotian immediately stopped cultivating and rushed over. Others did the same. They were more eager than anyone to see Fang Yu.

If it weren’t for Ding Chunqiu maintaining order, they would have already stormed into the Divine Race’s territory to rescue Fang Yu.

But unfortunately, the Divine Race’s power was too formidable, and with the Taoist Sect gone, they couldn’t wander the universe without knowing the direction of the Divine Race’s whereabouts. The universe was vast; finding the Divine Race’s location among the stars was incredibly difficult.

In the assembly hall.

Chen Daotian, Xu Huanwen, and others had already arrived.

After all, being cultivators, they arrived in no time, but Xu Zhaopei was much slower. Since he was a martial artist and not truly blessed, his arrival was slow; he still needed to use an aircraft to get there.

However, in today’s era, aircraft were no longer comparable to cultivators at the Heavenly Master Realm.

Next, the group of students entered the venue.

These students were the top genius students from Wanxian University.

When they entered the auditorium, they were full of questions.

"The principal notified us all to gather, saying there was something important to announce. We’re at a crucial point of breakthrough; what could be more important than our breakthrough?"

"I don’t know either, but as soon as we received the message, we came right away. It’s been a long time since Wanxian University issued such a notice, and this one was personally signed by the principal."

"I’ve heard there’s an even more powerful cultivator coming to guide us?"

"That’s just a rumor; where did you hear that? You’re a genius-level student; can’t you distinguish between rumor and fact?"

"These days, I’m willing to believe anything might be possible."

The genius students entered the center.

These students only focused on cultivation and were curious about the people already present in the venue.

But those who could appear here naturally were top-tier figures, so these students were smart enough not to play out any clichéd low-brow drama.

With a polite smile, they all entered the center.

The genius students had high intelligence.

They knew whom to provoke and whom not to.

So those typical mix-ups and clichéd situations were rare.

They had come to this point, entering a world-class university for a reason.

While everyone was chatting.

Ding Chunqiu entered.

The hall fell silent.

Everyone looked over.

It was a commotion.

"Everyone, silence."

Ding Chunqiu was the first to step onto the podium.

His gaze swept over everyone, including all the students.

"Today, there’s something very important to announce: Mr. Fang has returned."

Mr. Fang?

The students looked at each other, as if a pot had exploded, they began discussing excitedly.

"Could it be that the Mr. Fang the principal mentioned is the young person ranked first on our school’s hall of fame?"

"Who else could it be? I’ve heard this person is particularly formidable, once annihilating Japan with one move, and M Country with two. Later, he even helped many with cultivation, including the materials we use for our Great God Lord breakthrough."

"So you’re saying this Mr. Fang must have long surpassed the level of a great god?"

"Isn’t that stating the obvious? He’s certainly beyond that realm; without a doubt, he’s my idol."

"Same here. I’ve always considered him my goal. I think a man reaching his level should stand tall and unyielding like Mr. Fang, commanding respect and reigning supreme."

"The early parts of that are interesting, but isn’t ’reigning supreme’ a bit self-aggrandizing?"

Fang Yu, overhearing this, couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

These students really had a way with words.

Talking to smart people was comfortable.

None of that snobbish behavior.

At this moment.

The students eagerly raised their hands, asking to see Mr. Fang.

"Welcome the hero’s return!"

"Welcome the hero’s return?"

Ding Chunqiu awkwardly glanced at the students.

During their student years, everyone had someone they looked up to or aspired to be. Some idolized celebrities, some a king of boxing, others an artist.

But the students seemed to unanimously idolize Mr. Fang with startling consistency.

This is because, over the past few decades, schools have been promoting Mr. Fang’s achievements.

As time went on, many made him their idol, their hero.

To this day.

From primary school to university, many textbooks bear the name Fang Yu.

So, naturally, seeing someone who until now was only a name in textbooks was exhilarating.

They called out one after another.

Ding Chunqiu motioned for everyone to remain calm.

"Quiet, quiet."

The hall quieted down.

At this time, Ding Chunqiu glanced outside.

"Mr. Fang, please come in!"
