Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When the news that Luo Shen Cultivation College had three Class B’s suddenly came out, there was only one line in other students’ minds: Your college was cheating!

If they still had a chance to win against two Class B’s through prolonged battles, defeating three Class B’s was way beyond the ability of any of the schools.

At first, they regarded Luo Shen Cultivation College as the most insignificant rival, but it turned out that they were actually the greatest.

Indeed, it was at that moment that all the other students suddenly felt that they were going to face the final boss of a video game. Moreover, there were three bosses in total.

That got everybody confused. Why was everyone around Lord Lu so powerful too?

But there was no concrete evidence that Chen Zuan had truly ascended to Class B. After all, all Class A aptitude geniuses had met him at the military camp and they all knew that Chen Zuan’s aptitude was not as good as theirs.

Hence, he had even been despised as someone who relied on unscrupulous means. There were rumors that he had joined the line of Class A aptitude geniuses only because of his connection with Chen Baili. Otherwise, his sudden appearance in the team would be inexplicable.

Yet, this fellow, whose aptitude was worse than the rest, had actually attained Class B before the others!

What the heck? Did he feed on magical stones all day?

He must have been snacking on magical stones 1 to accelerate his cultivation!

Nonetheless, at this moment, many Class A aptitude geniuses still refused to believe that Chen Zuan was officially a Class B. They told the other students, “They must be bragging. We shall not fall for their lame tricks.”

In fact, all teams would conduct situational analysis prior to the contest. Thus, thanks to the information provided by Class A aptitude geniuses, all of the teams were aware that Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan were not a threat as the former had yet to awaken to any powers while the latter was not equipped with Class A aptitude. As for the rest, Cao Qingci was a difficult opponent and Lu Xiaoyu’s combat abilities after her recent ascension remained unknown.

At the start, all of them were full of confidence and none paid attention to Chen Zuan. But it was precisely this guy that had attained Class B ahead of the rest...

What a joke...

Hence, all of them had decided not to believe that Chen Zuan had ascended to Class B. It must have been a lie!

But at this moment, someone posted photos in which the little fatty was testing his various physical abilities in the training room following his breakthrough. That could not be fake.

Meanwhile, Lu Shu was confused. Why had he received so many distress points when it was Chen Zuan who had successfully ascended?

However, what he did not know was that many people had attributed Lu Xiaoyu’s and Chen Zuan’s class ascension to him.

Honestly speaking, they had a point. Lu Shu felt as if he was a parent because not only did he have to cook for Lu Xiaoyu and Little Fury everyday, he also had to prevent the fights between Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan.

Now that the two best friends suddenly became “enemies”, Lu Shu was having quite a headache.

It was also at this moment when Lu Shu suddenly noticed a change in popular topic on the Golden Foundation forum.

At first, it was only rumors along the lines of “Go to the Changbai Mountains now! There are treasures there!”

While some people joked about forming teams to search for the treasures, none of them made any moves because they found the credibility of the information questionable.

But today, another anonymous account started posting about myths of the Changbai Mountains, and claimed that the rumors could be true.

Lu Shu was sensitive to manipulation of public discourse and he believed that there was someone behind this as well. Moreover, those people were spreading the news through seemingly unreliable myths.

It was highly likely that their hidden intentions would be exposed one day, so Lu Shu believed.

Nevertheless, some people entertained the idea. There was a post that went, “Actually, why not just go and take a look? Just take it as a holiday. We can enter via Port Artyom and head southwest straight into the Changbai mountain range. In any case, I don’t think the Heavenly Network would block us outside their territory. Then, we can wander around in the mountains and try our luck there. Anyway, the scenery itself is worth the trip.”

That provided safe route for the entire cultivation world to enter the Changbai Mountains. In addition, the range of activity of the Red Sparrows only covered the northwestern parts of Russia, and Port Artyom was beyond their territory. However, there were other small-scale organizations scattered in other parts of the country and it seemed that the Red Sparrows had no intention to wipe them all out.

Immediately Lu Shu called Li Xianyi to express his concerns, and the latter had also confirmed that there was an increase in the number of unknown accounts on the Golden Foundation forum recently.

In the past, the Golden Foundation had promised that they would not track every user account. But they certainly had to pay close attention to the ongoing discussion that was causing a wave in the public.

Li Xianyi said, “I will have my eyes on this matter myself. In any case, we will spare no effort in finding out the truth about anything related to the ancient Yi Clan. When I am free, I will visit the Changbai Mountains personally or arrange a meet-up with Nie Ting to sort out everything.”

“By the way, have you got your sword spirit yet, old man?” asked Lu Shu.

“Yea,” replied Li Xianyi with a laugh, “You’ve made a huge contribution to our Hall of Swords. You are the pioneer of a new way of cultivation.”

“Well,” asked Lu Shu, “What can your sword spirit do? How is it like?”

Then he heard Li Xianyi’s hearty laughter on the other side of the phone. “My sword spirit can transform into swords of will. When it attaches to my flying sword, it adds immense power to my sword. Thus, I would say, I am much more confident in winning against the Puppet Masters now! Speaking of which, how about your sword spirit?”

Lu Shu laughed with a guilty conscience. “Haha, same as yours, of course...”

Apparently the old man’s sword spirit was in the shape of a sword, and only Lu Shu’s was in human form. Moreover, his was not that reliable... There was no way he would admit what his sword spirit was capable of. Moreover, no one else knew that sword spirits could be like that besides those present at the battle between him and Satan.

After he hung up the call, Lu Shu walked out with mixed feelings. He felt unfair for himself because the old man’s sword spirit was clearly much more powerful and cooler than his! historical

Then he eavesdropped on some other students’ conversation. “I heard that the entire Luzhou team is in the Internet cafe right now. Do you think all of them have been influenced by Heavenly King Feng Yeming?”

“Haha, let’s go and take a look. Have you ever seen a Heavenly King playing PC games? Never for me, at least.”

Lu Shu thought about it and decided to follow the group for a look. Until then, the streets around Luo Shen Cultivation College were bustling with businesses as the stall owners were all aware that those cultivation students could make a lucrative market.

The internet cafe was right beside the black market and it was always occupied by secret practitioners on usual days. As soon as Lu Shu entered the door he sensed a strong smell of cigarettes and heard loud shouts of cursing. It appeared that the competitive PC games had pissed off some players.

Lu Shu looked over and, to his surprise, it was the five candidates from Luzhou that were causing the commotion. Among them, four were burning in fury, while Feng Yeming was seated calmly like a gentleman.

Lu Shu silently approved his good public manners.

Then, after two minutes, he suddenly realized that Feng Yeming was the one being chided...
