Gu Chensha carried a muddy yellow gourd on his back. His perpetually half-lidded eyes opened fully.
They shone with unmistakable anticipation.
"The Supreme Academy?"
He exchanged a glance with Ning Jian, and each saw the same thought in the other's eyes!
They wanted to win special admission to the Supreme Academy's Hidden Dragon Class and contend with every Heavenly Chosen of their generation across the universe!
Without a doubt, it was a stage unlike any before...
The ultimate stage in the entire universe!
It would forge the sharpest swords and the hardest steel!
Even if a monster like Su Ye had appeared among their generation.
How could the resolve of top Heavenly Chosen like Ning Jian and Gu Chensha shatter so easily?
As Gu Chensha had said.
An invincible heart could still suffer defeat!
But every lead could be chased down!
One day, they might yet catch up to Su Ye!
Perhaps it would happen at the Supreme Academy!
Their fighting spirit would not fade!
"Jian..."
The Ning Family Head looked at his resolute son with mixed feelings, then turned to the other eight Half-Step World Lords.
He said nothing, but the eight Half-Step World Lords of the Ning Family exchanged glances and nodded gently!
At last, Ning Huaxin, the family's oldest ancestor, made the decision.
"Let him go and test himself!"
"If we interfere too much, we may only hinder Jian's growth!"
That settled it!
Ning Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
He had wanted to go.
But he bore another, more important identity... Young Clan Head of the Ning Family!
Giving up the safe route into the Star Domain Arena for a chance at special admission through Bell-Ringing carried enormous risks!
With so many Star Domains to cross, who could guarantee nothing would go wrong along the way?!
