The Eternal World

After hearing what Leng Feiyun had said, Zhang Chao's heart felt extremely heavy.

That's right, he could shamelessly call himself a genius, but in Leng Feiyun's eyes, he was just one of the countless geniuses, an unremarkable individual.

Although he had been designated as the reserve member of the Elite Hall, there were more than a dozen people with his identity in the side chamber. Most of them were secretly selected, and some of them did not even know who they were.

Furthermore, if the Soaring Cloud Sect were to bring people to participate in the Sky Dragon Martial Arts Practice, they would definitely bring talented disciples.

As for Zhang Chao accepting a thousand of the disciples from the side hall's challenge in the day, all the elders knew about it, it was just a farce to watch.

As for the true geniuses, they were only watching for the fun of it. For the things that Zhang Chao had done, they could do it too!

Perhaps it could be said that Zhang Chao had some aspects that he was proficient in, such that he could even learn three domain cultivation techniques that almost no one could, but this did not mean anything.

Every genius had their own good fortune and domain that they were proficient in, but they would always choose to stay in seclusion, unlike Zhang Chao, who was able to attract attention.

It had to be known that the Wooden Fragrance would destroy everything in the forest. With Zhang Chao, who urgently wanted to show off himself, standing on the tip of the waves, they did not dislike him at all. In fact, they would even think of ways to hug Zhang Chao even higher.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chao broke out in a cold sweat.

The higher he climbed, the harder he fell!

It was not that he didn't know this, but he had truly encountered this kind of situation. He was too young and inexperienced, and his mind was far from being as calm as he thought. He was lost for a moment.

A fan of the local scene!

He was well aware of what the consequences would be if he continued walking like this.

If he really met a genius who surpassed him, while he still maintained a good attitude … The consequences were unimaginable!

Leng Feiyun's words suddenly enlightened him.

Mental state, temperament!

Zhang Chao sat cross-legged in the secret room and took a deep breath.

He himself had not lived a deep life, and his thoughts were too simple!

As a result, he had gotten lost under the influence of his title. He thought that he was invincible among cultivators of the same cultivation level, and thus, he no longer had to rely on his greatest trump card – the left eye granted to him by the teacher!

This eye was capable of seeing through everything, and it was also able to tell how great the gap was between a true genius and an ordinary cultivator.

Walk your own path, keep your feet on the ground, precipitate!

Zhang Chao's entire being entered into a meditative state. This time, he was going to purify his body from the roots.

Washing from the depths of the soul, let yourself change from that ethereal, or perhaps complacent, state.

It could even be said that this was the first time in his life that he had ever cut himself down.

Self-beheading was often a difficult step that cultivators would have to take when they stepped from the transformational stage to the Yuan Dan Stage, using their elemental energy to cut off the filth within their own body.

At this time, Zhang Chao chose to cut himself, using his spirit energy to turn it into a sharp blade, and stabbed himself with the blade!

He wanted to cut off his vanity, his complacency, and everything else that had nothing to do with his cultivation!

Such an action, if others were to find out about it, they would definitely be shocked. After all, how much courage and charisma would it take to cut yourself off at Energy Accumulation Realm?

Moreover, in Energy Accumulation Realm, the foundation of the soul force was low, and it was unstable within the body, so the danger of self-destruction was extremely great. Furthermore, Zhang Chao had cut his own soul, so if he was not careful, his soul would be destroyed!

Seven days later, a beam of strong light burst out of Zhang Chao's residence, followed closely by a vibration in the air.

"This is …" Liu Er was still guarding in the living room of Zhang Chao's residence. Suddenly, he felt that in the direction of the secret room, Zhang Chao's Qi had become unstable, he revealed a look of shock, and immediately ran towards the secret room.

Halfway through, Zhang Chao pushed open the door and walked out of the secret room.

In his hand was a jade flute, which he chewed like sugar cane as he walked.

"Senior Brother Zhang Chao, are you alright?" Liu Er hurriedly asked with concern.

Zhang Chao was his god of wealth, ever since Zhang Chao came to the War God Academy, he had never been lacking in money.

"It's alright, I feel very good!" Zhang Chao said while chewing.

"Ugh …" Senior Brother Zhang Chao, please forgive me for being stumped, what are you eating … " Liu Er noticed the jade flute in Zhang Chao's hand and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"It's delicious, would you like to try a bit?" Zhang Chao handed the remaining half of the flute over.

"Damn, it really is a high-grade earth-step magic treasure, the Jade Silent Flute!" Liu Er's eyeballs almost popped out, "This, this... Can this thing be eaten? "

"Of course, don't you see that I'm enjoying my meal?" Zhang Chao nodded his head: "It smells like chicken!"

"Ugh …" Forget it, I won't get away with it! " Liu Er's head was shaking like a rattle. What a joke, to eat high grade Earth Rank treasures as a snack, and what's more, the smell of crispy chicken?

"Oh, forget it then. I'll eat slowly myself then!" Zhang Chao said as he took another bite and chewed on it.

"But Senior Brother Zhang Chao, why do I feel that you're a little different?" Liu Er looked up and down at Zhang Chao suspiciously.

"What's different?" Zhang Chao asked.

"It's hard to say. I can't say, but I feel something is different. It seems that your strength is much weaker than before!" Liu Er pondered.

"Yeah, it's more or less the same!" Zhang Chao nodded.

He had successfully cut himself off.

Moreover, he sealed all of his so-called genius' powers.

With these powers, he would not be able to make proper reference and did not know which direction his cultivation would proceed in. Thus, he simply chopped himself down and adjusted his own strength.

He sealed all the methods that were not suitable for him to use in his body, including the power that was sealed in his dantian. Unless he met an unstoppable enemy, he would not use them.

But now, he had chosen to cultivate step by step. He was no longer in a hurry to reach the heavens, and instead relied on devouring lower level magical equipment to further consolidate his strength using the Sand Gathering Tower's method.

Compared to ordinary cultivators of the same level, he was not much stronger. Moreover, he had always been cultivating in this state, so he could better grasp the speed of his cultivation, and from then on, he could truly accumulate a lot.

Even Leng Feiyun would not have expected that his words would lead Zhang Chao to such a state, and find such a method. This kind of intelligence was also quite hard to come by.

"Senior brother Zhang Chao, you sealed your own strength?" When Liu Er found out about Zhang Chao's current condition, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"Yeah, I'm not used to it either!" Zhang Chao laughed and scratched his head, all the arrogance on his body had disappeared, as if he had returned to the simple and unsophisticated look he had when he had just descended from the Nine True Mountain.

After chatting with Liu Er for a while, Zhang Chao walked out of the room and stood in the middle of the courtyard with his eyes closed.

A light flashed in his left eye as he looked at the surrounding mountains.

In that instant, it was as if everything in the mountain peak had been absorbed into his left eye.

After a long while, he closed his eyes again, rubbed his forehead and laughed bitterly: "So it is as I thought, Deacon Leng is right, just in this side chamber, I am not the only genius, compared to them, I am indeed not much, even if we were to fight, in some aspects, I am far inferior to them …"

He had just used his left eye, and could not see anyone or anything.

On the peak of the mountain in the side chamber, there were several twinkling stars.

Each of those rays of light represented a student. Moreover, they were students who were geniuses. In other words, they were at least Star Geniuses!

"If anyone comes looking for me, tell them I'm leaving the academy!" Zhang Chao explained to Liu Er.

"Eh? Leave the academy? Senior Brother, where are you going? " Liu Er's head was filled with fog.

"I'm going to take a mission and hone myself!" Zhang Chao smiled and headed towards the Mission Pavilion.

At this time, there were no other missions in the Mission Pavilion, and the rest were all related to the demons.

Zhang Chao randomly picked the most difficult ones, tidied them up, and then left the sect.

The first mission was at Pei City.

It was said that there were people from the Shadow Squad secretly moving about. It was unknown what kind of conspiracy they were planning.

Ten days ago, the Pei City's City Lord was assassinated, and was suspected of having something to do with the Shadow Squad.

In War God Academy, there were a few students who came over to check on the situation, but none of them succeeded. Let alone investigating the Shadow Squad, they didn't even see any trace of the Demon Clan members.

However, the matter of the Pei City was considered a small matter to the War God Academy, so they placed the mission into the side hall's mission pavilion. Anyone who understood this would know that this mission was definitely not simple.

Firstly, was the Pei City; it was not peaceful at all.

The Pei City was originally a small town that looked like a relay station, but after some time, there was a group of people who roamed the streets plundering the wealth to help the poor. One day, they suddenly washed their hands and changed their faces, and came to the Pei City to settle down.

It was also because after this horse was built, it did not do anything evil and the War God Academy did not punish it.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years had passed. This city no longer had any of the shadows left behind by the galloping horses; it had just become an ordinary city.

However, the lord of this city was still the same as before. From generation to generation, he would recruit some bandits that had nowhere to run or wanted to hide.

Over time, this place had already become the world's bandit's refuge, but War God Academy was too lazy to bother with small matters like this, as long as the thieves that entered the Pei City did not cause trouble.

However, ever since the City Lord had been assassinated, the entire Pei City had been thrown into chaos.
