“So this is the First-Grade Realm…”
Feeling the surging power within him, Chen Fan unconsciously clenched his fists.
“Crack! ”
Bones snapped, and Qi Strength burst!
Perhaps from the point of view of “quantity, ” after breaking through to the first-grade realm, Chen Fan’s Star Power had increased a lot compared to before, but it didn’t exaggerate to the point of doubling or tripling.
However, after opening up eight main channels and 125 branch channels, as well as forging his Star Sea, his current strength had at least tripled compared to before the breakthrough!
Before this, his body had Star Power comparable to the first-grade realm, but he had no idea how to use it.
Moreover, without the meridians opened, Star Power had been hard to use.
Now that he had broken through to the First-Grade Realm, Chen Fan felt as if he had gone through a rebirth!
With such power, combined with the right weapons, slaying ordinary Level 3 monsters would be no challenge at all!
On the other hand, Chen Fan vaguely sensed that his Beastmaster’s Space seemed to have undergone some changes as well.
He had previously seen information about this on the Guardian Beast Forum… When a Guardian Beastmaster’s cultivation level increased, it would be accompanied by an increase in soul power.
As the soul power increased, the Beastmaster’s Space would become larger and more stable.
Guardian Beasts could use Star Power to nurture their Beastmasters, while the increase in the Beastmasters’ soul power could better nourish their Guardian Beasts.
“Meow! ”
Snowy leaped into the air and jumped into Chen Fan’s arms.
She rubbed her little head against Chen Fan’s chest nonstop.
She seemed happier about Chen Fan’s breakthrough than her own.
Feicui wouldn’t be outdone and climbed to the side, preparing to jump onto Chen Fan’s shoulder.
But after looking, he chose to go to Chen Fan’s head instead. He jumped and landed on Chen Fan’s head… It seemed Chen Fan’s head provided him the most security.
Chen Fan gently patted Snowy and then Feicui, “Thank you guys. Fortunately, I have you. With your help, I’m able to have my current power and breakthrough so smoothly.”
“In the next few days, I’ll be working on improving your Combat Power Level.” Then he turned to Li Sheng and said, “Thank you, teacher!”
Li Sheng’s eyes twinkled with delight, and he waved his hand, “You’re my student; guiding you is my responsibility.”
“Very good, very good!”
“This kind of talent, compared to Chu Xuan, is equally remarkable!”
“From today on, our Class Five has eight First-Grade Realm students.” Chen Fan was stunned, “Only eight First-Grade Realm students in a class?”
“What do you think?” Li Sheng snickered and said, “Ordinary Guardian Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists usually awaken their talents after the age of 18 through guidance… That’s the beginning of third grade when everyone enters the door to become Guardian Beastmasters.”
“Only a very small number of geniuses awaken at the age of 16 without guidance.”
“Chu Xuan was the first naturally awakened student among the three major academies of East Sea City this year.”
“Fang Qingqing was the second.”
“Ye Hao… Although Ye Hao is a bit of a troublemaker, he can be called a top talent. He was the third naturally awakened Guardian Beastmaster from our War God Academy.”
“These three are the strongest students in our War God Academy.”
“Not to mention how incredible their talents are… When you people came to Guidance Plaza to awaken and receive guidance, they had already been cultivating for two years, how can you compare?”
“Of course, you’re an exception…”
“The moment you arrived, you contracted two Guardian Beasts.”
“And on the day you came to school, you broke through to the First-Grade Realm…”
“Hehe, I’m going to tease that fat guy later! ”
“When I asked him for cultivation method authorization this morning, he refused to give it. He said there had never been such a case and absolutely couldn’t set a precedent.”
“It took a big argument with him before he gave you the authorization.”
“If he knew that you had broken through to the first-grade realm in less than a day after getting the cultivation method, he would have been shocked!”
“Hiss, hiss, hiss!” Snowy grinned.
Chen Fan poured Li Sheng a glass of water before asking, “What are the current cultivation levels of the three strongest from our War God Academy?”
After taking a sip of water, Li Sheng replied, “Chu Xuan, Fang Qingqing, and Ye
Hao have all reached the First Rank Five Heavens.” “Just one more step and they will enter the Grade 2 Realm.”
“Maybe this month, maybe next month.”
“First Rank Five Heavens…” Chen Fan recalled the momentum Chu Xuan had shown when they were facing the Ant Queen and nodded to himself.
Indeed, very strong.
No wonder he could suppress a Level 5 Ant Queen.
If Chu Xuan had taken action at that time, there would have been no need for the Heavy-armored Beetle King or the Desert Wind Falcon to intervene. They could have chopped the Ant Queen into pieces.
Ye Hao’s strength is just slightly inferior to Chu Xuan’s.
As for Fang Qingqing, if Chen Fan had not seen her with three Level 5 Guardian Beasts, he might have thought she was a weak girl…
However, she had reached this level!
There was no comparison…
While they were already trying to break into the Grade 2 Realm, those people at Guidance Plaza hadn’t even begun yet.
At this moment, Li Sheng said, “Chen Fan, since you’ve reached the First Grade Realm, you’ll need to represent our academy in the ring competition among the three major academies a month after school starts.”
“The ring competition among the three major academies in half a month?” Chen Fan’s expression slightly changed.
He had heard about this from Fang Qingqing before.
Fang Qingqing wanted to heal the Silvermoon Green Feather Bird as soon as possible so she wouldn’t miss the ring competition.
Chen Fan said with a wry smile, “Teacher, I’ve just broken through to the First Grade Realm. I haven’t even had time to practice knife or sword techniques, and you want me to fight against First Rank Five Heavens experts who have cultivated for years?”
“And they all have several Level 5 Guardian Beasts.”
“There aren’t that many First Rank Five Heavens,” Li Sheng raised an eyebrow.
“Among our academy’s thirty Guardian Beast classes and forty Star Martial
Artist classes, only Chu Xuan and the others have reached that level.”
“So many classes… No wonder the academy seemed so big when I first arrived.
It took half a day to walk from the gate to the dormitory,” Chen Fan commented.
However, that’s quite normal…
There were a total of 20,000 people at Guidance Plaza this time, with 14,000 of them eventually Awakened. After being divided among the three academies, there are nearly 5,000 people in each academy.
And, that’s not even counting the local students; there might be even more of them.
Li Sheng continued, “In Huanhai Academy, only Shen Hongxiu and her cousin
Shen Daodao have reached First Rank Five Heavens.”
“Celestial Academy also has two First Rank Five Heavens. One of them challenged Chu Xuan seven days ago and was severely injured along with their Guardian Beast. They’re still in the hospital, and we don’t know if they’ll recover in time for the competition.”
Chen Fan:
Li Sheng: “Among the eight First Grade Realm students of Class Five, apart from Chu Xuan, the strongest has only reached First Grade Third Layer, and there’s only one.”
“Then, there are two who have reached the First-Level Second-Heaven.”
“The rest are all in the First Layer Heaven, just like you.”
“You don’t have to be afraid. When facing First Rank Five Heavens, I’ll just throw you a towel to concede defeat.”
“…” Chen Fan rolled his eyes.
Li Sheng: “Keep today’s breakthrough a secret for now.”
“I will tell the Director of Instruction and the Principal about your breakthrough, but I’ll also make sure they keep it confidential.”
Chen Fan: “Teacher, what do you have in mind?”
