178: Chapter 178 Returning to Campus
The system upgraded?
And it's the 3.0 version, dammit?
Wang Pingan's heart skipped a beat, and he was completely stunned.
He remembered very clearly that the "Martial Skill Fusion" and "Talent Creation" functions, which had just been unlocked shortly after the system 2.0 update, hadn't even warmed up yet.
How could it be that just a few days later, another 3.0 version arrived?
This update speed was even faster and more absurd than those unscrupulous mobile games he played in his previous life!
【Upgrade Complete!】
【System 3.0 version has been successfully loaded!】
【This update mainly targets the 'Talent Creation' function, carrying out an epic-level enhancement!】
【New function module added: 'Talent Fusion'!】
【Original function modules: 'Attribute Points', 'Martial Skill Fusion', 'Realm Breakthrough', etc., have undergone compatibility optimization.】
【Currently generating a brand-new system interface for the host...】
Swish!
After a flash of even cooler light, the sci-fi 2.0 version interface before Wang Pingan's eyes transformed into a brand-new, more concise, and more… back-to-basics interface.
The entire interface only had a solitary, round icon that emitted a faint golden light, resembling a Taiji diagram.
Surrounding the icon were several options that looked like hieroglyphs, filled with an ancient and mysterious aura.
【Body Forging】, 【Law Enlightenment】, 【Realm Breakthrough】, 【Origin Return】.
Wang Pingan felt a headache coming on.
This… this art style, why did it suddenly become so fantasy-like?
What happened to the interstellar high-martial arts, technology, and hardcore stuff?
How did it suddenly turn into an immortal cultivation channel?
He tried using his mind to tap the option named 【Body Forging】.
The next second, his familiar 【Attribute Points】 and 【Martial Skill Enhancement】 interface, filled with numbers and progress bars, popped up.
He tapped 【Law Enlightenment】 again.
The 【Martial Skill Fusion】 and 【Talent Creation】 interfaces also appeared accordingly.
However, next to 【Talent Creation】, there was a brand-new option he had never seen before.
【Talent Fusion】
【Function Introduction: Can fuse multiple homogeneous or complementary 'Talents' already possessed by the host to create a brand-new, more powerful, composite 'God-level' Talent.】
【The fusion success rate is related to the pay-to-win points consumed and the 'Law-type' wonders used.】
Looking at this brand-new function introduction, Wang Pingan's heart thumped wildly again, much to his chagrin.
Talents… can also be fused?
And can create "God-level" Talents?
What exactly is the origin of this system?
How many more perverted functions is it hiding that he doesn't know about?
Wang Pingan felt that his imagination could no longer keep up with the system's update speed.
He forced down the shock in his heart and refocused his attention on the award ceremony before him.
No, he refocused it on the crystal box he was carefully holding in his hands.
Inside this was the true, priceless treasure that could make his powerful system "upgrade"!
...
The "Voyager" interstellar warship slowly sailed away from the spaceport of Pegasus Star.
After several space jumps, it finally returned steadily to the exclusive starport of Xuanyuan University three days later.
When Wang Pingan led the Xuanyuan University representative team off the warship and stepped onto this familiar land again, he could clearly feel that the surrounding atmosphere was different.
Those gazes filled with jealousy, disdain, and schadenfreude that used to look at them had all vanished.
Replaced by a kind of gaze filled with awe, worship, and fanaticism, almost like a "pilgrimage"!
On the starport, it was packed with people.
Countless Students of Xuanyuan University had spontaneously gathered here.
In their hands, they held high various banners and slogans made of energy, filled with chuunibyou vibes.
【Welcome back, Great Demon King!】
【Wang Pingan! The eternal god!】
【Captain! I want to have your babies!】
Seeing that last slogan filled with brazen words, the corner of Wang Pingan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He looked at those juniors who were all acting like they had gone crazy, screaming his name frantically.
In his heart, there was only one thought.
"Sigh, what a hassle."
"Why is it so hard to just keep a low profile?"
Just when he was feeling a bit overwhelmed by this fanatical welcoming atmosphere, the tall figure of Instructor Shi Yan appeared before him once again, like timely rain.
"Alright, stop making a spectacle of yourselves here."
Instructor Shi Yan said with a dark face, shouting ungraciously at those fanatical Students.
Then, he "rescued" Wang Pingan from that "vast ocean of people."
"Follow me."
Instructor Shi Yan didn't say much else, just led Wang Pingan straight toward the principal's office.
