Chapter 281 I Need Your Help in My Cultivation, Rewards from All Sides
The fate of the overlord-level Sea Spirit Clan who went to hunt down Su Nianying and the others was already sealed.
Facing Su Nianying, who had already formed a superior-grade Golden Core, its fate was not much better than that of its monarch-level kin. It was directly blasted to death by Su Nianying's exquisite purple lightning strike and sank into the deep sea.
After the Light Saint and the Wood Saint successively displayed their martial prowess, the journey home was uneventful.
The "Dingyuan" and "Haidongqing" successfully rendezvoused, and the two cruise ships seemed to be protected by an invisible force, sailing back to the territorial waters of Daxia in calm seas.
Almost the instant they reached the shore, the group immediately transferred to the super-fast aircraft that had been waiting for them, with the engines running at full power, and flew straight towards the capital like a shooting star.
Until the aircraft landed smoothly at the Imperial Capital's dedicated airport, setting foot on this absolutely safe core territory,
Only then did everyone finally relax their tense nerves and breathe a long sigh of relief.
Upon landing, officials quickly took over and arranged for everyone to rest to alleviate the fatigue caused by the continuous fierce battles and high tension.
However, there wasn't much of a sense of loss or disappointment about the team's impending disbandment.
Because of this global national championship, the DaXia team achieved unprecedented and brilliant results.
As is customary, three days later, they will attend a grand award ceremony and celebratory state banquet in the solemn National Auditorium.
The entire event will be broadcast live by television stations across the country, including CCTV. This team, which has achieved outstanding results, will once again make a collective appearance to receive national attention and congratulations.
As a result, the team members were temporarily separated and placed in different locations.
Wei Ying and the others were accommodated in a guesthouse provided by the military in the capital, where they received generous treatment.
Ye Ningxue and the others returned to their respective villas in the Unnamed Linglang Pavilion.
Li Xijun, Su Nianyi, Jiang Qiyue, Ju Mengya, and Su Nianying returned to their familiar Qingquan Chunhui Palace after a long absence.
As soon as you step into the Qingquan Chunhui Hall, a lively atmosphere greets you.
Bright red banners and huge 3D projections were displayed along both sides of the main road on campus.
"Warmest congratulations to our student Li Xijun for winning the overall championship in the Global National Championship!"
"Congratulations to Su Nianyi, Jiang Qiyue, and Ju Mengya on their triumphant return, bringing glory to the nation!"
"The clear spring's radiance shakes the world! The light of martial arts shines across the globe!"
A variety of celebratory banners were displayed, and younger students spontaneously gathered on both sides of the road. When they saw Li Xijun and others appear, they burst into enthusiastic cheers and applause, their eyes filled with admiration and excitement.
The entire campus was immersed in a joyous and proud atmosphere.
After passing through the enthusiastic welcoming crowd and exchanging some polite pleasantries, Li Xijun and her group returned to their usual quiet attic residence.
Although I haven't been away for very long, returning to this peaceful place after a life-or-death struggle evokes a unique feeling.
To celebrate their triumphant return, the group spared no expense, placing an order through the campus system for over six million federal dollars. The school cafeteria used its best reserves to prepare a top-quality medicinal meal containing pure spiritual energy, highly beneficial to the body, and paired it with rare spiritual wine.
Just as the table was laden with delicious food and fine wine, and the group sat around, ready to celebrate this hard-won reunion,
The attic door was gently pushed open.
A familiar and beautiful figure walked in, accompanied by a fragrant breeze.
It was Lisa, one of the vice principals of Qingquan Chunhui Hall.
Today, she has shed her formal attire and donned a well-tailored off-white casual outfit. Her long, smooth black hair is casually draped over her shoulders, and her azure eyes are like melting gems. She smiles warmly, appearing less stern as the vice principal and more approachable and relaxed like someone at home.
"They're all here. Looks like I arrived just in time."
Lisa's voice carried her unique, slightly languid magnetism as her gaze swept across the faces of the crowd.
Finally, his smiling gaze lingered on Li Xijun for a fleeting moment, like a dragonfly skimming the water, yet containing a subtle warmth.
"Ms. Lisa!"
"Auntie."
Ju Mengya and Jiang Qiyue exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously, immediately standing up from their seats with genuine joy on their faces.
Jiang Qiyue was the quickest to react, rushing forward and giving Lisa a warm hug, her tone slightly coquettish: "It's been so long since we last met, I've missed you."
Lisa smiled and hugged her back, gently patting her back: "Your aura has become much more refined since you came back this time, and your control over fire elemental power is more exquisite. It seems you have gained a lot from your experience in the competition."
She immediately noticed Jiang Qiyue's progress and spoke with approval.
"Yes, it's all thanks to hope Jun's guidance." Jiang Qiyue's pretty face flushed slightly, a little embarrassed, but the joy in her eyes was even stronger.
Su Nianying also came over, her demeanor more reserved than Jiang Qiyue's, but the affection in her eyes was no less:
"Teacher Lisa, it's been a long time. You still look so good. I was busy with the National Games after I came out of seclusion, so I didn't have time to thank you for taking care of Nianyi."
She still had that cool, mature voice, but somehow it had taken on a watery, moist quality.
No one else noticed, but Lisa caught it instantly.
After her gaze swept over Li Xijun, she reached out and pinched Su Nianying's cheek with an even more affectionate expression:
"Xiaoying is still so good with words. But I think you should just call me Sister Lisa from now on."
As she teased him, her gaze shifted to the sweet-smiling Ju Mengya beside her. "Xiaoya seems to be close to breaking through on location shooting too. She looks great. Did she get away with it this time?"
Tachibana Mengya nodded vigorously and said, "With Yuki-kun here, we've all gained a lot."
Finally, Lisa's gaze returned to Li Xijun, who had been sitting quietly, watching their interaction with a faint smile on her lips.
"You're back? ...You weren't hurt on the way, were you?"
Li Xijun met her gaze, her tone calm yet reassuring: "Yes, everything went smoothly and is perfectly fine."
Lisa nodded slightly; this wasn't the place to continue the conversation.
She walked to the head of the table, sat down naturally, and cleared her throat twice to draw everyone's attention.
"Alright, we can catch up later. Let's get down to business first. The school's reward for your triumphant return..."
"First, the Federal Currency rewards. Li Xijun, 50 billion. Su Nianyi, Jiang Qiyue, and Ju Mengya, 10 billion each. The bonuses will be directly deposited into your personal accounts."
Although everyone had expected it, they still couldn't help but gasp slightly when they heard the number. For them, it was a huge sum of money!
"Secondly, cultivation resources."
She looked at Su Nianyi and the others.
"For those of you who achieve perfect artistic conception, the school will provide each of you with a rare and precious natural treasure to help you break through to the exterior scene, ensuring your success in the exterior scene."
Then, she looked at Li Xijun.
"hope Jun, you have entered the Outer Realm. The school has prepared a 'Star Origin Core Fragment' for you, which contains a large amount of pure star spiritual power, which will greatly benefit your consolidation and improvement of your Outer Realm cultivation."
"Third, martial arts access."
Lisa's tone became serious.
"The school has granted you the highest access to martial arts texts. This includes not only the library in Qingquan Chunhui Hall, but theoretically, all martial arts techniques and secret manuals collected within the entire Great Xia Martial Arts Academy system. You are free to view and practice them."
This means they possess an almost limitless treasure trove of martial arts techniques.
It might be good for others, but for Li Xijun, it's something that might be dispensable at the time.
The five supreme martial arts skills in the martial arts world are too overpowered; he now prefers the supreme martial arts skills in the martial arts world.
But soon, a sentence that followed piqued Li Xijun's interest.
Fourth, spirit weapon forging.
Lisa continued, "The school will use its reserves and connections to provide each of you with a slot for forging a custom-made spirit weapon. Top weapon-forging masters will be on hand to ensure that a unique spirit weapon is tailor-made for you, one that can grow with you and resonate with your heart."
She explained, "Spirit weapons are treasures that only martial artists of the Outer Realm can truly unleash their power. They are no longer standard weapons, but are forged with various precious divine metals and spiritual objects as their core, incorporating the weapon-smith's dedication and the martial artist's own imprint."
"Not only will it greatly enhance the power of your martial arts and strengthen the effect of drawing upon external spiritual energy, but more importantly, after being nurtured and refined by your own heart and spirit over a long period, it will evolve and become stronger as you grow, just like a natal magic weapon in a fantasy novel!"
Upon hearing about the generous reward, everyone's faces lit up with excitement.
This practically paved a smooth road for their future.
Li Xijun also showed some interest after hearing about the spirit weapon.
He was considering whether to use the quota to create a defensive spirit weapon armor or a spirit sword.
Seeing the excited crowd, Lisa's smile widened, and she raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Don't rush, this is just the beginning."
"In addition to the Qingquan Chunhui Palace, the Federation and the Great Xia government will also provide you with a more detailed long-term cultivation resource plan, as well as the right to use a top-level cultivation environment, based on your contributions this time."
She revealed, "I've received inside information that after the awards ceremony at the National Auditorium in three days, there will be another wave of generous resources and Federal Currency rewards. Xi Jun, you'll probably get around 50 billion, and Nian Yi and the others are expected to each receive over 10 billion."
"Moreover, at that time," Lisa's gaze swept over Su Nianyi, Jiang Qiyue, and Ju Mengya, "the authorities will reward each of you with a rare treasure that enhances your mental strength, enough to ensure that you will not have any mental problems when you break through."
She then looked at Li Xijun: "As for you, Xijun, in addition to the corresponding Outer Realm level spiritual energy resources, you will also receive a top-tier resource specifically for strengthening your physical body. After the Outer Realm, the physical training of a martial artist is of paramount importance, as it relates to whether you can successfully enter the Vajra Realm and cultivate a truly indestructible golden body in the future."
This made Li Xijun nod slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
It seems the main world has done a lot of research on physical bodies, especially on using rare and precious materials to forge them.
Vice Principal Lisa summarized the proceedings:
"In short, based on your performance this time, you all will have no worries about the resources needed to cultivate to the Golden Core stage."
"As for Xi Jun, the school, the Great Xia Dynasty, and even the Federation will prepare the best resources for you when you form your Golden Core, allowing you to choose freely, ensuring that you will be able to condense the highest quality Grade One Martial Golden Core in the future!"
Finally, she dropped a bombshell, lowering her voice slightly, with an air of mystery and solemnity:
"Furthermore, Xijun, an immense opportunity awaits you. At that time, you will meet the Wood Saint. The Saint will personally expound the Dao for you!"
"A saint expounding the Tao?!"
Apart from Li Xijun and Su Nianying, who already knew, everyone else was shocked, their eyes wide and their breathing quickened.
What an honor it is for the Martial Saint to personally expound the Dao.
A wave of immense joy and excitement washed over everyone, and even the usually aloof Su Nianying had a slight, captivating smile playing on her lips.
"Very good!"
"This competition was absolutely awesome!"
A cheer erupted from inside the attic, and the atmosphere reached its peak.
Lisa smiled with satisfaction and even brought out several bottles of her treasured herbal wine, known for its remarkable effects on nourishing the body and warming the meridians, to entertain everyone.
The small celebration banquet took place in such a relaxed, joyful, and hopeful atmosphere.
The group enjoyed top-quality medicinal cuisine and mellow spiritual wine, and laughter filled the air.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the potent effects of the spirit wine began to take hold. Su Nianyi, whose strength was slightly inferior, was the first to succumb to the alcohol, her cheeks flushed as she slumped onto the table and fell into a deep sleep. Ju Mengya was also already drowsy with intoxication.
Seeing this, everyone stopped trying to hold on and got up to find their own familiar rooms to rest.
Li Xijun returned to his quiet room. The power of the spiritual wine within him, combined with the fatigue of the past few days, made him feel a wave of weariness wash over him.
However, just as he was preparing to get a good night's sleep...
"Knock knock knock—"
A crisp knock suddenly rang out in the quiet night.
"Um?"
Li Xijun walked to the door and opened it with some confusion.
He was wondering who would be coming over tonight when
"Junior."
Ju Mengya appeared, her gaze clear and without a trace of drunkenness, looking directly at Li Xijun.
"My parents are both stationed at the extraterrestrial base. Once I break through to the outer realm, according to the regulations of the martial arts academy, I can graduate and go out to cultivate and explore on my own. At that time, I may have to go back to the extraterrestrial base."
"So, before I leave, I'd like to ask you for a favor, is that alright?"
Li Xijun readily agreed, "Of course, please feel free to ask, senior."
"I remember that among the techniques you created, there was one that involved the Azure Dragon's True Intent of the Wood element, right?"
"That's right, part of it is the Azure Dragon's intention to bring life."
"That's right."
Ju Mengya stepped forward and entered the room, closing the door behind her.
"I've already mastered the concept, and in the next few days I'll be securing resources from the school and other official sources to film on location."
"And in order to achieve a breakthrough in the most perfect condition,"
"I need you, junior brother, to use the Azure Dragon's True Meaning, which represents the perfect state of Heaven and Man, to assist my cultivation during our dual cultivation!"
