173: Universal Academy of the Universe!

There are two types of ruins:

Prehistoric ruins.

Alien ruins.

The former were left by ancient Titan Warriors from ancient times.

The latter were left by aliens!

Alien ruins vary in form.

Some are crashed shipwrecks, and some are scientific research spacecraft.

There is also a type that specifically comes to Earth to screen students or disciples, selecting talents for their respective forces.

These types of alien ruins are somewhat similar to admissions offices on Earth.

They select qualified talents and provide them with a certain amount of training, thereby adding fresh blood to their respective forces.

And the ruins Ge Chun discovered happened to be of this type!

After listening to Grandpa Hua's description, Zhang Fan and Hua Xia were both very surprised.

"Grandpa, do you mean that Ge Chun passed the test of this alien ruin and became one of its members?"

Hua Xia asked repeatedly.

"Yes!"

Hua Yunzhang nodded: "Ge Chun's memory tells me that this alien ruin calls itself the Cosmic Vientiane Academy!"

"She passed the ruin's test, became a preparatory member of the organization, and received a lot of training!"

At this point, Grandpa Hua looked at his beloved granddaughter and grandson-in-law:

"You probably don't know about the Cosmic Vientiane Academy, do you?"

Zhang Fan and Hua Xia both shook their heads. They indeed knew little about matters in the universe, and their knowledge was extremely scarce.

Hua Yunzhang smiled and said, "Then I'll give you a quick rundown!"

"The universe is vast and boundless, and countless civilizations and forces have evolved!"

"All cosmic civilizations and forces can be roughly divided into seven levels!"

"Primitive Civilization, Low-Level Civilization, Mid-Level Civilization, High-Level Civilization, Super-Level Civilization, Ultimate Civilization, and the most terrifying God-Level Civilization!"

Zhang Fan and Hua Xia listened with bated breath.

Hua Yunzhang smiled and said, "I won't elaborate on the other levels of civilization, I'll only talk about the Three Great God-Level Civilizations!"

"These Three Great God-Level Civilizations are high above, and their spheres of influence encompass the entire universe, making them the most terrifying existences in the entire universe!"

"And the Cosmic Vientiane Academy is one of the Three Great God-Level Civilizations!"

Zhang Fan and Hua Xia were greatly surprised, and Hua Xia said somewhat anxiously:

"Grandpa, you just said that Ge Chun became a preparatory student of the Cosmic Vientiane Academy, and now Zhang Fan has killed her!"

"Will the Cosmic Vientiane Academy retaliate against Zhang Fan because of this?"

This was exactly what Zhang Fan was worried about. The Three Great God-Level Civilizations!

He had killed their preparatory member, and they had every reason to retaliate!

"No!"

Hua Yunzhang smiled and said, "Ge Chun's memory indicates that becoming a preparatory student of the Cosmic Vientiane Academy only grants a certain amount of training, but no protection!"

"Only by breaking through to Starry Sky Life within a certain period of time can one qualify to become an official student!"

"Official students are eligible for protection, but Ge Chun is only at the Nascent Soul Realm and is not within the scope of protection!"

"So that's how it is!"

Hua Xia and Zhang Fan, upon hearing this, let out a long sigh of relief.

They were truly afraid of retaliation; the other party was a terrifying God-Level Civilization. If they truly retaliated, they would be unable to withstand it!

"Everything I've said above is not the main point!"

Hua Yunzhang looked at Zhang Fan and Hua Xia, his eyes burning as he said, "What I'm about to say is the most crucial part!"

Zhang Fan and Hua Xia exchanged glances, pricking up their ears to listen carefully.

"Listen!"

Hua Yunzhang said solemnly, "Ge Chun was able to pass the Cosmic Vientiane Academy's test and become a preparatory member of the Cosmic Vientiane Academy!"

Hua Yunzhang looked at the two: "I think you two have a real chance!"

"Grandpa, you want us to join the Cosmic Vientiane Academy too?"

Hua Xia couldn't help but ask.

"Yes!"

Hua Yunzhang nodded: "The Cosmic Vientiane Academy is one of the Three Great God-Level Civilizations, and its influence spans the entire universe!"

"As long as you can become its students, you will absolutely soar to great heights!"

Hua Yunzhang's eyes burned, and his face subtly suppressed excitement:

"You must understand that our Earth's technology is backward; we can't even leave our mother planet, Earth!"

"From the perspective of cosmic civilization classification, we don't even count as a Low-Level Civilization; we are barely between a Primitive Civilization and a Low-Level Civilization!"

"In the entire universe, we are like primitive natives who have just emerged from the African primeval forest!"

"Although we have been impacted by modern civilization, it's not much!"

"Given the resources we control and the existing conditions, we are not sufficient to provide you with quality training!"

Hua Yunzhang's voice was low: "The Cosmic Vientiane Academy is different!"

"It is one of the Three Great God-Level Civilizations, with influence throughout the entire universe, controlling countless resources and Refining Qi Techniques!"

"As long as you can enter it, your future is limitless!"

Zhang Fan and Hua Xia felt their blood boil as they listened.

The two exchanged glances, both seeing longing in each other's eyes.

Clearly.

They were both willing to try!

Especially Hua Xia.

Zhang Fan had at least gained the recognition of the Fuxi Shrine, but she hadn't.

Hua Xia naturally wanted to join the Cosmic Vientiane Academy and receive training!

"Grandpa, where are those ruins located?" Hua Xia pressed.

"Ge Chun doesn't know exactly where it's located, and neither do I!"

Hua Yunzhang smiled and said, "But don't worry, as long as you break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, those ruins will find you themselves!"

"It will come to us?"

Zhang Fan said in surprise, "So, the minimum screening standard for these ruins is the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"Yes!"

Hua Yunzhang nodded: "According to Ge Chun's memory, not long after she broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, she was teleported there!"

"Afterward, she entered the ruins, underwent the test, and after passing it, she met the ruin's intelligence and was granted a Refining Qi Technique, a Visualization Method, and this Glazed Silver Battle Armor!"

Hua Yunzhang waved his hand and took out a silver water droplet.

This silver water droplet was about the size of an apple, round and spherical.

"Zhang Fan, this is your spoils of war. I'll give it to you!"

Hua Yunzhang waved his hand, and the silver water droplet flew towards Zhang Fan: "Just one drop of blood is enough to complete the DNA binding. Bind it now!"

Zhang Fan examined it carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Give it to Tengteng!"

"To me?"

Hua Xia was startled, then shook her head repeatedly: "This is too precious, I can't accept it. Zhang Fan, you should keep it!"

Hua Yunzhang couldn't help but remind him, "Zhang Fan, this Glazed Silver Battle Armor is much more advanced than your Ru Yi Battle Armor!"

"Whether it's defensive capabilities or intelligence, they are not on the same level. It's too precious, you should keep it!"

"No need!"

Zhang Fan shoved the silver water droplet to Hua Xia, smiling, "I haven't had a suitable gift for this engagement!"

"I think this Glazed Silver Battle Armor is good, so let's consider it an engagement gift!"

"But..."

Hua Xia hesitated a little.

"No buts, Tengteng, if I tell you to take it, then take it!"

Zhang Fan smiled, grabbed Hua Xia's small hand, cut a small opening, and dripped her blood onto the Glazed Silver Battle Armor.

The blood dropped and quickly permeated, and the silver water droplet immediately spread out, quickly enveloping Hua Xia.

"Zhang Fan!"

Hua Xia was incredibly moved, looking at Zhang Fan with tears rolling down her eyes.

Zhang Fan wiped away her tears: "I will definitely break through to Nascent Soul Realm before you and accept the test before you!"

"Once I pass the test, I will also receive a Glazed Silver Battle Armor!"

"Then we'll both have one!"

"Mhm!"

...

Zhang Fan's engagement ceremony had ended, but it caused a huge stir online, sparking heated discussions among countless netizens.

However, Zhang Fan did not take these discussions to heart.

The day after the engagement ended, Zhang Fan took Hua Xia and left Beijing, returning to Chang'an Base City.

The two were already engaged, so Hua Xia could openly live at Zhang Fan's house.

Next, Zhang Fan's life gradually returned to normal.

He cultivated in the Fuxi Shrine during the day and spent time with his family at home in the evening, with his schedule meticulously arranged.

Days passed, and unknowingly, another two months went by.

That evening, when Zhang Fan went to Vanke Riviera to visit Guo Mi and his son, he heard good news from Guo Mi.

"Brother Zhang Fan, I've broken through to the Core Formation Realm!" Guo Mi was very happy.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Zhang Fan felt relieved: "It seems you've been quite diligent lately!"

When Zhang Fan first awakened last year, Da Mimi was already at Foundation Establishment Completion.

Afterward, when she was with Zhang Fan, Da Mimi's heart was completely focused on Zhang Fan, and she didn't put much effort into cultivation.

Especially after becoming pregnant, she was even more inconsistent with her practice.

As a result, her cultivation at Foundation Establishment Completion had been delayed in forming a core.

"I have to work hard!"

Da Mimi leaned into Zhang Fan's ear, blushing as she whispered:

"You make me half-dead every night, if I don't work hard to cultivate, won't you be snatched away by those vixen outside?"

Zhang Fan was somewhat speechless; he was exhausted to death every day, where would he have extra energy to find other women?

However.

It was a good thing that Da Mimi could cultivate diligently, it should be encouraged!

Zhang Fan patted her little head and said, "Then keep up the good work and strive to break through to the Golden Core as soon as possible!"

"Mhm!"

Da Mimi nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "With the Refining Qi Technique you gave me, Brother Zhang Fan, I can feel my progress every day, so I'll definitely be diligent!"

"Oh, right, Brother Zhang Fan!"

Guo Mi remembered something and said, "Auntie Jiang looked for you this afternoon; it seems she wants to ask for your help with something!"

"Teacher Jiang?"

Zhang Fan was a little surprised, then nodded and said, "Did she say what it was?"

"No!"

Da Mimi shook her head.

"Call Teacher Jiang and ask; if I can help, I definitely will!"

Zhang Fan didn't have many friends, and Jiang Shengnan was definitely one of them.

Plus, she was Da Mimi's aunt, which also made her Zhang Fan's aunt.

If she needed help, Zhang Fan would definitely help if he could.

"Mhm!"

Da Mimi nodded, picked up her phone, dialed her aunt's number, said a few words, and then hung up.

"Auntie Jiang will be here soon!"

About ten minutes later, Jiang Shengnan arrived at Guo Mi's house and explained her purpose.

Jiang Shengnan used to roam the Wilderness Area, belonging to a Monster Hunter squad called Blazing Dragon.

Blazing Dragon was originally a very famous hunter squad, but two years ago, during a mission, they suffered a devastating defeat.

The other 6 members of the squad all died, and only Jiang Shengnan escaped by teleporting using her Talent Divine Power, Mist Lord Domain!

All her teammates dying in battle was a huge blow to Jiang Shengnan.

She was dejected for a long time and took a long time to recover from the pain.

But even so, it left Jiang Shengnan with a psychological shadow; she never formed a team again, and never even entered the Wilderness Area.

It wasn't until she became Zhang Fan's tutor that she entered the Wilderness Area again.

"Teacher Jiang, the reason your team was wiped out last time was..."

Zhang Fan asked curiously.

Jiang Shengnan said in a deep voice, "The King of Monsters—Lava Giant Dragon!"
