God Summoning Art

Though it was called a large lecture, the class itself did not last long.

Two hours later, the lesson officially ended.

Under the reluctant gazes of the students, Chen Hong gathered his textbooks and left the classroom without lingering for even a second.

At the sight, everyone let out deep sighs before leaving the classroom to attend to their own affairs.

Lu Chuan did not return to his dormitory. Instead, he headed straight for the Combat Department's service hall.

Since the Academic Credit he had on hand was not enough to support a breakthrough to the Sixth Rank, there was no need to rush his cultivation. He might as well seek out one or two powerful martial arts.

The strongest martial art Lu Chuan currently possessed was merely the mid-grade Eight Trigrams Swimming Dragon Palm.

It was fine against ordinary people, but against fellow prodigies from Azure Dragon Academy, it was somewhat lacking.

Challenge Day was drawing near, and Lu Chuan intended to use that opportunity to advance into the Prodigy Class.

And which student in the Prodigy Class did not have high-grade martial arts in hand?

To avoid falling behind in martial arts, Lu Chuan had deliberately set aside time to learn one.

After all, as Lin Lei's disciple, Lu Chuan could learn any martial art passed down under Lin Lei for free.

If he did not shear this fleece, Lu Chuan would be letting himself down.

Ten minutes later.

Lu Chuan arrived at the Combat Department's service hall.

Seeing Lu Chuan arrive, the teacher on duty at the service hall approached with a broad smile. "Junior Brother Lu, you're a rare visitor."

"Junior Brother Lu?"

Lu Chuan looked at the teacher. "Teacher, are you also Master's disciple?"

"Of course." The teacher smiled. "My name is Lu Zhao. I entered Master's tutelage ten years ago."

"Junior Brother Lu, Master specifically instructed me to take good care of you. Is there anything you need this senior brother to help with?"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Lu."

Since it was his master's instruction, Lu Chuan did not stand on ceremony. "I plan to learn a martial art. Do you have any recommendations, Senior Brother Lu?"

"Martial arts..."

Lu Zhao fell silent for a moment, then took out a tablet.

After operating it for a while, Lu Zhao handed the tablet to Lu Chuan. "Our Combat Department has quite a few martial arts, but the ones I think suit you best are these three."

"The first is called the Clear Wind Sword, a high-grade martial art created by Master himself. It is powerful and does not demand much of one's martial arts realm. It can be used at the Fourth Rank."

"The second is called the Blazing Sun Finger, an exceptionally formidable finger technique! Once cultivated to great mastery, fighting above one's rank would be no challenge!"

"Unfortunately, this martial art has rather stringent requirements. Not only must the learner possess outstanding comprehension, but their martial arts realm must also be above the Sixth Rank."

"As for the third martial art, our eldest senior brother found it on the Starry Sky Battlefield. It is called the God Summoning Art!"

"This martial art is extremely profound. It even contains the Space-Time Great Dao!"

"To learn it, one must first circulate the preliminary method contained within the martial art and form a contract with sages from ancient times."

"After forming the contract, one can borrow the sages' power to attack enemies."

"It was precisely with this martial art that Eldest Senior Brother, at the Ninth Rank, killed a True King Realm expert across ranks and became famous throughout humanity!"

"Unfortunately, this martial art places extremely high demands on comprehension, no less than the Sky Swallowing Art. As a result, very few people can learn it."

"Junior Brother Lu, which martial art do you intend to choose?"

While Lu Zhao explained, Lu Chuan took the tablet and flipped through the detailed information on the three martial arts.

Each of these three martial arts had its own strengths and weaknesses.

The most ordinary among them was undoubtedly the Clear Wind Sword created by Lin Lei.

The Blazing Sun Finger, meanwhile, was the safest of the three. Though its ceiling was not particularly high, its floor far surpassed that of the other two.

Once Lu Chuan learned it, he would certainly gain a rather decent trump card.

As for the God Summoning Art...

How should he put it? Its upper limit was extremely high, but its lower limit was equally low. Everything depended on the realm of the ancient sage who formed a contract with him.

If the ancient sage's realm was high, there was naturally no need to say more. Lu Chuan would not be surprised if this martial art displayed the power of a top-grade or even True King Level Martial Art.

If the ancient sage's realm was low, this martial art might not even measure up to a basic martial art.

If he wanted to play it safe, choosing the Blazing Sun Finger could not possibly be wrong.

Lu Chuan also rather favored the Blazing Sun Finger.

But there was a problem: the Blazing Sun Finger required the martial artist to be at least Sixth Rank.

Lu Chuan was still some distance away from the Sixth Rank.

Before Challenge Day arrived, there was little chance he would be able to learn it.

After turning it over in his mind, he could only gamble on the God Summoning Art.

With that thought, Lu Chuan looked at Lu Zhao. "Senior Brother Lu, I intend to learn the God Summoning Art. Can you help me contact Eldest Senior Brother?"

"No problem."

Lu Zhao immediately picked up his phone and made a call.

"Hello? Eldest Senior Brother?"

"Our junior brother intends to learn your God Summoning Art. Could you spare some time to give him guidance?"

"What? How could that be..."

"Very well, I understand."

Hearing Lu Zhao's words, Lu Chuan's heart skipped a beat.

Damn it, don't tell me something went wrong?

After seeing Lu Zhao hang up, Lu Chuan hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother Lu, did something happen?"

"Something did happen."

Lu Zhao explained, "Eldest Senior Brother has run into some trouble and likely cannot personally guide you. However, he said he can lend you the martial art for you to study on your own."

"Whether you can get started with it will depend on yourself."

Hearing this, Lu Chuan let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

Lu Chuan had not planned to have Eldest Senior Brother guide him in the first place.

No matter how skilled Eldest Senior Brother was, could he compare to directly activating a cheat?

"In that case, I'll trouble you to take me to see Eldest Senior Brother," Lu Chuan said.

"No problem."

After turning around to give a few instructions, Lu Zhao led Lu Chuan off to find their eldest senior brother.

Azure Dragon Academy.

Yu Yuan Palace.

If one were to ask which building in Azure Dragon Academy was the most famous, it would undoubtedly be Yu Yuan Palace.

This palace-type treasure, seized by the first headmaster of Azure Dragon Academy from the Feather God Clan, bore a name that made countless members of the Ten Thousand Races grind their teeth in hatred—Prison of Myriad Races.

That was right. Yu Yuan Palace was a prison used to detain the Ten Thousand Races!

Thus, every master of Yu Yuan Palace bore the responsibility of guarding the prison and watching over the Ten Thousand Races.

If the Ten Thousand Races within the prison made any abnormal movements, the palace master had to suppress them personally. The academy assumed no responsibility.

It looked as though the academy was being extremely irresponsible.

But in truth, the reward paid by the academy already covered the cost of suppression.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, the academy would never intervene.

And once the academy did intervene, your position as palace master would be finished.

As the most lucrative position in Azure Dragon Academy, no palace master wanted to lose the post unexpectedly before their term expired.

The current palace master, Luo Yanjun, was no exception.

However, Luo Yanjun had recently run into some trouble.

For some unknown reason, the Ten Thousand Races, who had always been well-behaved, suddenly grew restless. They madly attacked Yu Yuan Palace, showing every sign of breaking free to roam unrestrained beneath heaven and earth.

This kept Luo Yanjun running himself ragged, to the point that he no longer even had time to cultivate.

"Those damned beasts!"

"If they were not still useful to the academy, I would truly slaughter every last one of those beasts!" Luo Yanjun said viciously.
