Chapter 13: Mu Xiying's Gift: A Whole Collection of Martial Emperor-Level Cultivation Arts!

Mu Xiying’s lips curved upward slightly at once.

With that thought, she walked straight to the door and opened it!

…………

“Mu Xiying should be awake by now, right? My True Eye just sensed fluctuations in her aura. I wonder what happened to her last night.”

Xiao Xuan was a little puzzled.

“CLICK!!”

Just then, the door flew open.

A stunning young woman appeared before Xiao Xuan, tall and slender, her long hair drifting even though there was no wind.

Those deep-blue eyes rested calmly on him.

That gaze made Xiao Xuan feel rather uneasy.

Cold. Far too cold!

He really did not know who would be able to endure a cold, aloof beauty like this in the future.

Then again, besides her ice talent, she seemed to have a fire talent too. Both ice and fire in one body. Just thinking about it was terrifying!

“Which Blue talents have you awakened now?”

Just as Xiao Xuan’s thoughts were running wild, Mu Xiying’s icy voice rang out.

Xiao Xuan froze.

Then he suddenly remembered how high-profile he had been the night before. Mu Xiying had definitely seen him.

After thinking it over, Xiao Xuan decided not to hide too much.

“Sister Ying, I saw you last night too! I did not expect that after not seeing you for more than a year, you would become this powerful!”

I am nowhere close.

“Right now, I have only awakened the three fundamental body Traits, plus lightning, ice, and a Blue-rank cultivation talent. Six Blue Traits in total!”

Xiao Xuan said helplessly.

As for the Gigantification Trait he had not used the previous night, along with Blade Mastery and Combat Mastery, which he had awakened later, Xiao Xuan did not mention any of them.

He had to keep at least a little privacy for himself, did he not?

“So you also awakened a size-changing Divine Ability-Type Trait, did you not? And judging by your eyes, you should have something like the True Eye as well, correct? Also, there is a trace of blade intent about you. It is still weak, but by my estimate, that should be a Blue-rank Blade Mastery Trait too, yes?”

Mu Xiying’s next words left Xiao Xuan completely dumbfounded.

“What? You can tell all that? What the hell? Sister Ying, do you have some kind of detection-type talent too? No, that cannot be right. What kind of detection talent can even see someone else’s Traits?”

Xiao Xuan was stunned.

Yet when Mu Xiying saw how shocked he was, the corners of her lips rose ever so slightly again.

Ever since she returned and met Xiao Xuan this time, she had never truly managed to intimidate the boy.

Now, seeing him so startled, a faint trace of satisfaction actually surfaced in her heart, which had been frozen for thousands of years.

“So that means you really did awaken those Traits.”

“Good. In that case, I have a few cultivation arts here that might suit you!”

Mu Xiying did not waste any more words. She simply raised a finger and touched it to the center of Xiao Xuan’s brow.

“BOOM!!!”

In an instant, an enormous flood of memories poured into Xiao Xuan’s mind.

They were actually the memories of a great many cultivation arts.

And the moment Xiao Xuan checked their rank, his eyes flew wide open.

“Seventh-Tier cultivation arts?! What the hell?!”

Xiao Xuan blurted out a curse at once.

Seventh-Tier cultivation arts were worth at least a hundred million.

Someone at Mu Long’s level in the City Defense Army would not earn even ten million in an entire lifetime, much less a hundred million.

Yet here there was a whole pile of them.

A rough count put them at twenty or thirty.

And nearly all of them were lightning- and fire-element arts.

There were movement arts, cultivation arts, and martial skills. More than enough for him to pick the best among them.

What Xiao Xuan did not know was that these cultivation arts were the finest among all Seventh-Tier arts.

Each of them was worth at least ten billion. Their greatest advantage was that they were more destructive than arts of the same tier, easier to cultivate, and far easier to transition from later when switching to higher-level arts.

“Take a look and see which ones suit you. You can choose for yourself what to cultivate. With your talent, Seventh-Tier is the highest you can cultivate. Anything above that, and you might not be able to master it even in an entire lifetime!”

Mu Xiying explained calmly.

“This is already more than enough. Thank you, Sister Ying! I will definitely cultivate well and not disappoint you!”

Xiao Xuan grinned. Seventh-Tier arts corresponded to the Martial Emperor level, which happened to be the upper limit of what he could cultivate right now.

“There is a condition attached to my giving you these cultivation arts.

I want you to get into Imperial Capital University, because I am also going there to take Imperial Capital University’s assessment. When the time comes, you will go study at Imperial Capital University with me!”

Mu Xiying looked at Xiao Xuan calmly as she said this.

“Imperial Capital University? Are you not at Nanhai University right now? Can you still transfer?”

Xiao Xuan was taken aback.

“Yes. Imperial Capital University is the top institution in all of Huaxia.”

It only recruits the finest geniuses in the entire nation.

And likewise, as long as someone truly is among the best, it will recruit them.

As long as their talent and strength meet the standard, they can enter Imperial Capital University through the annual Hundred-Province Joint Exam.

It is just that the Hundred-Province Joint Exam is extremely difficult, far harder than getting into Imperial Capital University as a first-year through the Advanced Martial Exam.

Because the ones taking the Hundred-Province Joint Exam are the very best geniuses from every province.

“Some of the top geniuses from those provinces are even strong enough to contend with students on Imperial Capital University’s Heaven Ranking.”

Mu Xiying spoke in a serious tone.

“Wait, Sister Ying, something is not adding up. You said Imperial Capital University takes the top geniuses from the martial exam, which means the highest scorers all go there. That would make the top geniuses at the other schools the ones left over after Imperial Capital University has already taken its pick. And on top of that, Imperial Capital University definitely has the best educational resources.”

So why is it that most of Imperial Capital University’s students still cannot compare to students who were turned down before?

After hearing Mu Xiying’s explanation, Xiao Xuan was thoroughly confused.

“In theory, that is how it should be.”

But reality is different. A person’s Traits do not remain unchanged forever.

Under certain conditions, some people’s Traits will evolve, while others will awaken new Traits.

University lasts a full ten years. Every year, there are people who suddenly awaken extremely powerful talent Traits and rise in a single leap to become geniuses.

“That is why the Hundred-Province Joint Exam is held every year.”

Mu Xiying explained.

The moment Xiao Xuan heard that, he immediately remembered.

Of course. Other people’s talent Traits were not fixed either, not just his own!

The Huaxia Region was vast beyond measure, with a population in the hundred trillions.

Every year, some people awakened brand-new Gold Traits.

“Sister Ying, you should be that kind of genius too, right? Did you awaken a Trait above Gold?”

Xiao Xuan probed carefully.

Three years ago, the Traits Mu Xiying had awakened were only a few Blue Traits.

Even so, her talent had already been extraordinarily strong.

But compared with the Mu Xiying of now, she had clearly been much weaker back then.

“That is right. My Trait is indeed above Gold!”

Mu Xiying said calmly, without hiding it.

“As expected. I knew it. Sister Ying was so powerful last night that you definitely could not be an ordinary genius.”

Xiao Xuan laughed at once.

“You only have one month left before your college entrance exam. The cultivation arts I gave you can wait until after the exam for you to study slowly. Use this month to prepare properly and strive for a good result! As for me, I am about to set out and prepare to take part in the Hundred-Province Genius Tournament.”

Mu Xiying spoke in the same calm tone as ever.

“You are leaving now? When exactly does this Hundred-Province Genius Tournament begin?”

Xiao Xuan was stunned.

“In one week. The assessment is held in the Imperial Capital, so I have to leave a few days early!”

Mu Xiying replied.

One week?

At that, Xiao Xuan’s brows lifted slightly. In a week, his strength would probably rise by quite a bit again. If that was the case, could he also take part in this so-called Hundred-Province Genius Tournament?

After all, the college entrance exam one month later was still a full month away.

By then, he would no longer need something as ordinary as the college entrance exam to prove himself.

The Hundred-Province Genius Tournament came earlier and was more difficult. It seemed far more challenging.

And besides, he still had a fallback. Even if he failed to get into Imperial Capital University through the Hundred-Province Genius Tournament, he could always settle for entering through the college entrance exam instead.
