Chapter 128: Joining the Changqi Academy!
“It’s merely to fulfill the students’ requests,” Qu Fengyun said calmly. “As long as we can cultivate strong individuals, what harm is there in getting the higher-ups at our academy to get a bit more active?”
“Besides causing some trouble elsewhere, there’s not much of a problem.”
These words truly surprised Lin Han. He had originally thought this matter would stump Qu Fengyun, but it turned out that such a straightforward and blunt method could resolve it.
Though Qu Fengyun spoke with ease, the execution was far from simple.
It required the right location and the proper way to trigger a natural disaster—each step was challenging, especially since it demanded calling upon a Saint-rank expert!
Is this the confidence of the Changqi Academy?
Feihua smiled and said, “As expected of Director Qu, your words carry such authority. Indeed, only the folks at Changqi Academy could pull something like this off.”
“Lin Han, you shouldn’t doubt Director Qu. As long as the request is reasonable, Changqi Academy is capable of making it happen.”
With Feihua’s assurance, Lin Han naturally did not question it.
“So, Lin, have you decided which academy you want to join?” Qu Fengyun asked again. “Although I promised you that if you can achieve these goals, Changqi Academy will support you, you must also understand that throughout history, only Feihua has ever met such requirements.”
“And back then, her strength far surpassed yours. This year, Changqi Academy has many promising talents. If you want to snatch resources from them, it won’t be an easy task.”
Sanqian anxiously said, “Lin Han, you’ve heard what Director Qu said. There’s no guarantee if you go to their academy. It’s better for you to join ours. At least you’ll get a source of natural disaster. There’s no need to gamble at their academy—it won’t benefit you.”
At this moment, Lin Han already had his answer.
“Director Qu, I’ve decided. I choose Changqi Academy.”
Upon hearing this, the others showed regret on their faces. After all, recruiting a third-stage Sacrificer was a great opportunity for any academy.
But now that he had chosen Changqi Academy, there was nothing they could do.
Qu Fengyun raised an eyebrow and said, “You’d better think carefully. Joining us at Changqi Academy might still leave you empty-handed.”
“I’ve thought it through,” Lin Han said firmly. “I want more to gain experience than to be supported by others. A true strong person must snatch food from the tiger’s mouth!”
“It is only by growing in such an environment that one can ultimately become a true strong individual, just like Senior Feihua. One day, I too will become such a strong person.”
At these words, Qu Fengyun was stunned. He couldn’t remember the last time he had heard such a passionate speech.
Nowadays, so many have forgotten the original goal of cultivation.
To become strong, the most important thing is to have the mindset of a strong person, and this child before him stirred something within his heart.
Feihua laughed, “Director Qu, my little brother isn’t bad, right? Trust me, recruiting him into Changqi Academy will be the second best decision you’ve made in recent years. You won’t regret it.”
The director, feeling a bit doubtful, asked, “What was the first best decision?”
As soon as he asked, he somewhat regretted it.
“Of course, it was me!” Feihua said. “Isn’t recruiting me the luckiest thing that happened?”
“Which academy’s outstanding student haven’t I defeated?”
“Changqi Academy’s true golden era is only when I’m here. From now on, my little brother will take over my mission.”
Qu Fengyun rolled his eyes. “Recruiting you was the most regrettable decision Changqi Academy ever made.”
Of course, he was only joking.
While Feihua was around, Changqi Academy never had to worry about anything. Her level of defiance against fate far exceeded all her peers.
They never expected that after graduating, she would break through to Supreme Realm strength in just two years.
That could no longer be described as defying fate.
A twenty-five-year-old Assassin God is among the top elites anywhere in the world.
Breaking through to the Saint Realm in the future was inevitable, and even challenging the God Realm was not impossible.
Yet, this very strong individual once gave the entire Changqi Academy a headache...
At this point, Lin Han said, “Director Qu, I have a question to ask you.”
“Go ahead,” Qu Fengyun replied.
Lin Han asked, “During the entrance exam, your academy showed no interest in me at all. Why did you suddenly want to invite me for an interview? Was it simply because I advanced to the third-stage Sacrificer?”
“That’s right, exactly because of that,” Qu Fengyun said truthfully. “A third-stage Sacrificer is already extremely rare worldwide.”
“Your breakthrough speed also exceeded our expectations. At your age, reaching the third stage already places you among the geniuses.”
“You have plenty of time to prepare for the fourth or even fifth stage. If you can break through to the fifth stage, it will be something to be very proud of.”
Lin Han asked in confusion, “Why? I need a source of natural disaster to change my profession, so my limitations are significant to you.”
“That’s not so. Since you are now one of us, I won’t keep it from you,” Qu Fengyun said seriously. “Think about it: among all the great powers in the world, why has not a single third-stage Sacrificer appeared anywhere? It’s just three sources of natural disaster, many great powers can gather all of them, but only you have them all. Don’t you find that strange?”
“I do find it strange,” Lin Han said confusedly. “Why is that?”
Qu Fengyun explained, “When you advance to a third-stage Sacrificer, you should know very well what happens in the process.”
“You fuse with a natural disaster...” Lin Han muttered.
“Exactly, fusion with a natural disaster,” Qu Fengyun said. “Fusing with a natural disaster is not a simple matter. It’s extremely difficult and demands very high physical qualities.”
“That’s why all Sacrificers around the world don’t fail because they lack sources of natural disaster, but because their bodies aren’t strong enough. So all those attempting the third-stage transformation died during the fusion process, with only five surviving.”
“And that’s why no third-stage Sacrificer profession has ever been born.”
At this moment, Lin Han suddenly understood. He finally realized why there were no third-stage Sacrificers.
If that’s the case, then everything makes perfect sense.
