Chapter 430 - Returning to University for Class

If it was anyone else, it would have been very difficult for them to reach the Innate Stage within one short year. They would only be able to achieve such a thing if Federation University supported him with its might!

It was obviously very difficult for Chu Yunfan to gain such an opportunity, but to him, nothing was impossible. He had the memories of the Alchemy Emperor. This in itself was a huge treasure trove. In one year, he had gone from a nobody in the Physical Stage to the Qi Sea Realm, then to the Energy Refinement Stage, and finally to the Acquired Stage. Given another year, entering the Innate Stage would not be an impossibility for him.

Moreover, just as he said, he had no other choice!

Chu Yunfan knew what Jiang Lingxiao was planning. He did not take Jiang Lingxiao for a fool. Jiang Lingxiao was waiting for this opportunity to kill him. And he too would wait for this opportunity to kill Jiang Lingxiao.

It was impossible to end this matter just by defeating Jiang Lingxiao. Only by killing him would everything come to an end.

Jiang Lingxiao may have underestimated Chu Yunfan, but Chu Yunfan was confident in himself. They would see who would become the victor a year from now.

"I have to go. We probably won't see each other for the next one year. Take care of yourself." Tang Siyu looked at Chu Yunfan with tears in her eyes before she turned around and left. The moment she turned around, two lines of tears started streaming down her face.

"That little lady is quite the thing. She sure knows the right decision to make at a critical moment. You already have enough on your plate dealing with Jiang Lingxiao and his family. If the Tangs come looking for trouble with you, it will be difficult for me to protect you," Jeang Yuanbin said.

"I understand," Chu Yunfan said as he clenched his hands tightly.

"What are your thoughts on this matter?" Jeang Yuanbin asked.

"Being weak is the original sin," Chu Yunfan said slowly but firmly.

"That's right. Being weak is the original sin. I was wondering how long it would take for you to understand this principle. I didn't expect you to understand it so quickly." Jeang Yuanbin stood up, his hands behind his back, "Principle? What is a principle? A fist is a principle. If you were in the Innate Stage today, you wouldn't have suffered such humiliation.

"Ordinary people can't reach the Innate Stage within a year, but as my disciple, I'm sure you can do it," Jeang Yuanbin said, "Men can't be arrogant, but they can't be without pride. How will you know if you don't work hard?"

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Jeang," Chu Yunfan said.

"You rest now, I have to deal with the post-battle matters," Jeang Yuanbin said.

As the post-battle reconstruction began, the battle that shocked the entire Federation, the fall of Verdant City, finally came to an end.

More than a million people were buried in the jaws of monsters. Hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers had been killed. Among the fallen were even two Innate Stage generals. In this battle, humans suffered heavy losses. Although they had killed countless monsters, to the monsters that were raised by nature, this was just a drop in the bucket. It was not a big loss.

Different from humans, as long as the monsters had the chance to grow, they would be very powerful. They did not have to go through extra training. Most of this vast land was occupied by monsters. Humans occupied just a small corner of the world.

For the next few days, the society held many memorial ceremonies. The president of the highest level of the Federation attended the ceremonies, the national flag was lowered at half-mast for seven days, and donations came from all walks of life.

For Chu Yunfan, it was a fresh start. After returning to university, he made a full recovery after just a day's rest. Other than Sha Peng and the others, only Gao Hongzhi had received the news and came to visit him. Bai Ling'er also sent a message to ask him how he was.

But over this one day, Chu Yunfan's name truly spread through Federation University like wildfire. Someone had dared to provoke the president of the student council, Jiang Lingxiao.

This was simply explosive news within Federation University.

One was a freshman while the other was a junior. Although Jiang Lingxiao had just taken over the position of student council president this year, his name had already spread throughout Federation University two years ago.

If not for him being the next family head that the Jiangs had put in all their effort to nurture, he would probably have been roped in by countless financial groups long ago. Despite this, Jiang Lingxiao's reputation within the school during these two years had only grown.

As for Chu Yunfan, that instructor competition had not truly enamored him with everyone. But this time, he had truly shaken the entire university.

Everyone now knew that there was an arrogant and despotic brat!

Within the alchemy department building, countless students came and went. Today was the day for the alchemy department's big class.

The alchemy department was a large faculty within Federation University. Alchemy was extremely important for martial arts cultivation, so no matter which university it was, the alchemy department was certainly a large department. It might even be the largest department.

Just this year alone, there were more than five thousand students in the alchemy department of Federation University. If it was not for these universities continuously nurturing alchemy talents in large numbers, it would also be impossible to support the current grand structure of the nation's cultivation.

Cultivation emphasized the law of money and the law of land. This was the standard throughout the entire Federation. Without sufficient medicinal pills to support it, the nation's cultivation would be a joke.

Today, Chu Yunfan woke up early to attend his classes. He had been admitted to Federation University for more than two months, but this was his first time attending class.

However, he had not fallen behind. With his photographic memory, he memorized everything he saw. There were many things that he already knew from the Alchemy Emperor's memories and there was no need for him to re-learn them. The only things he needed to pay attention to were the things that differed now compared to the Ancient Zenith Civilization.

Chu Yunfan sighed. If modern civilization continued to develop, it would definitely not be inferior to the Ancient Zenith Civilization. It was like two similar flowers growing out of one tree. They came from the same source, but they have grown to be two entirely different entities

Although the class was not attended by the entire grade, it was still a large class that had over a few hundred students. The auditorium-like classroom was very noisy. The students had arrived early. They were sitting and chatting with the people they were familiar with.

Only Chu Yunfan was not familiar with any of the students because he had never attended the class before. He found a random seat and sat down. His gaze wandered across the sea of students. Then he spotted a familiar face.

Many students were surrounding a delicate figure who looked akin to a proud peacock.
