156: An ancient divine art representing the 'void'! (Happy Chinese New Year)

[Receiving...]

Without a doubt.

Gu Chen certainly would not miss such an opportunity.

[You have successfully obtained a Legacy from the starry sky]

[Void Ancient Art]

[Originating from the mysterious starry sky, it is an ancient divine art representing the 'Void', possessing the terrifying power to annihilate everything...]

Void Ancient Art!

Suddenly, Gu Chen felt a vast amount of information pour into his mind. Countless ancient, ethereal characters flooded his brain, instantly causing a splitting headache. However, Gu Chen remained calm; only the bulging veins on his forehead and the cold sweat revealed the extreme pain he was in.

There was no other way.

So many people were watching.

He couldn't let anything slip.

A mysterious ancient divine art from the depths of the starry sky!

If even a hint of this were leaked, it would likely bring a catastrophe upon Gu Chen!

"Gu Chen, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"You look like you're in a lot of pain."

"I'm not in pain."

"Really?"

"I! Re-! Al-! Ly! Am! Not! In! Pain!"

After a long time, Gu Chen finally perfectly digested the information of the Void Ancient Art. Those vast scriptures represented an ancient divine art terrifying to the extreme. Gu Chen's heart pounded. At this moment, the starlight descending from the Starry Sky Ancient Wood had been fully absorbed by everyone present. The massive ancient wood shook, and its runes began to dim.

Everyone showed expressions of joy.

Although they had been extremely uncomfortable earlier, suppressed by that high-level aura.

Now, they had clearly all reaped benefits.

"This truly is a divine object!"

"Good grief, what on earth just happened? The Ye family really went all out today."

"Is this a starry sky divine object? I feel my Realm loosening, and there seems to be a very subtle special change in my body. I feel the flow of Spiritual Qi within me has become much smoother."

The young Martial Artists were beaming with joy.

"Look, actually, the more silent someone is, the greater their harvest," Jiang Hui said with a light smile, standing beside Gu Chen. However, he couldn't help but feel that this Young Man beside him was actually the one who had gained the most.

What those on the third floor didn't know was that...

At this moment, the big shots on the first and second floors were all looking up with complex expressions, especially the head of the Ye family, Ye Xiao.

"What kind of terrifying genes does this kid have? The starry sky divine wood was 100% activated. This is a scene the Ye family has never seen, a scene we couldn't even imagine."

The Ye family's foundation...

...was actually inseparable from this starry sky divine wood.

The Ye family had the most Gene Warriors in all of Xia Country.

This was because using the starry sky divine wood to provide genetic stimulation to the Bloodlines of their descendants could greatly increase the probability of gene unlocking. However, they had only ever activated the starry sky divine wood to 13%.

This... today's situation...

...was completely unexpected by Ye Xiao.

His deep eyes were now fixed intently on the youngest Martial Artist on the third floor.

To be able to trigger a 100% resonance with the starry sky divine wood.

Could such terrifying genes truly exist in this world?

It was said that the genes of the Martial Dao True King, Ning Shenyu, surpassed the God River Sequence and were genes within the Star Sequence. So what about Gu Chen?

He knew that a 100% activation of the starry sky divine wood would inevitably produce a terrifying Exotic Treasure, and he would certainly obtain a world-shaking treasure.

He looked at Gu Chen, his expression gradually becoming complex. If it were anyone else, the Ye family would have many ways to obtain the benefits that person had received.

But it just so happened that the other party was the darling of the entire Xia Country's high-level leadership.

Naturally, all such methods were useless.

Sigh.

At this time, the high-level figures from the Capital on the first and second floors began to climb the stairs, soon surrounding Gu Chen.

"You must be Gu Chen. This year, the name I've heard most is Gu Chen. Seeing you today for the first time, you truly live up to your reputation."

"Ninth Level of Divine Strength? Your Realm has already reached the Ninth Level of Divine Strength? My god, you're only nineteen, right? You just started your freshman year this year, and you already have this kind of strength?"

Someone suddenly mentioned Gu Chen's Realm, causing the surrounding people to show surprised expressions.

Nineteen years old.

Ninth Level of Divine Strength?

Since he's already at the Ninth Level of Divine Strength, can the Glazed Realm be far off?

The Glazed Realm has three stages.

Even if you're slow and take a year per stage, you'd still be a Grandmaster at twenty-three!

Holy crap!

Moreover, it was impossible for Gu Chen to be that slow. With his Prodigy-like speed, he would likely enter the Grandmaster Realm at a speed they could hardly imagine.

Breaking Xia Country's historical records!

Becoming the youngest Grandmaster in the history of Xia Country.

Instantly, these big shots realized the weight of the Young Man before them.

The young Martial Artists on the third floor were dumbfounded. These big shots, whom they would usually have to curry favor with and try to befriend, were now revolving around a Martial Artist much younger than them. The warmth in their words left them wide-eyed.

They had just been bathed in the starlight of the starry sky divine wood and didn't know what had happened outside, so they couldn't understand why this Young Man was receiving such treatment.

At this moment, inside the most luxurious restaurant in the Capital.

Countless prominent figures in the Capital surrounded a young Martial Artist, their voices so loud they almost lifted the roof of the Kong Can Restaurant.

As the host of this banquet, Ye Qingxuan's spotlight had actually been stolen. However, she wasn't angry. She stood quietly in the distance, looking at Gu Chen surrounded by the crowd, and suddenly smiled radiantly. In that instant, the air seemed to freeze.

As for Gu Chen, he actually wanted to escape this place.

The Void Ancient Art in his mind transformed into brilliant golden characters circling in his spiritual world, making him feel dazzled. Coupled with these people chattering around him, Gu Chen felt dizzy.

He finally managed to escape.

"Come, let me take you away from here."

"Won't you be needed later?" Gu Chen looked at Ye Qingxuan curiously. Today, Ye Qingxuan was too beautiful, in a red dress like a burning rose. She smiled lightly and said, "My task is finished. I'll leave the rest to my father."

Ye Qingxuan led Gu Chen away.

Leaving behind a resentful old father, Ye Xiao, who watched their departing backs gloomily from behind.

No one would have thought...

...that the secret of the starry sky divine wood...

...would actually be the Void Ancient Art. Gu Chen thought so to himself. A super secret technique that annihilates the void and buries the starry sky had actually fallen into the hands of a young Martial Artist on a planet as small as a speck of dust. If this news were to spread, it would surely shock the entire starry sky.

He walked out with Ye Qingxuan.

On the street.

The two were very eye-catching.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman, drawing praise from others.

Having heard so many compliments...

...even Ye Qingxuan felt a bit embarrassed. This goddess, who was usually cold and aloof in the eyes of others, actually lowered her head like a ripe flower, her face flushing hot.
