Chapter 321: Returning to University

Chapter 321: Returning to University

Time flew by.

Over a hundred days later...

Fang Xing gazed at the progress bar of the Gates of the Multiverse in his attribute panel, which had finally increased a little, and made a rough estimate, "The next opening will be in thirty years, right?"

"Or perhaps, there might not even be a next opportunity."

"The next time it opens, I must obtain the inheritance!"

Although he had already entered the Law of Fire and could theoretically advance to the Star Lord realm, in reality, without an inheritance, it was impossible for him to break through.

"Furthermore..."

Fang Xing casually sketched, and a Flame Heart appeared before him.

From the Flame Heart, countless crimson lines extended outward, coalescing into a Flame Clone.

As the Flame Clone began practicing a set of boxing techniques, the temperature in the surroundings immediately started to rise!

"Fire Mystic Arts..."

"Indeed, upon careful examination, it seems that its power is slightly weaker than in the Daxia Universe."

Fang Xing's expression turned solemn.

According to Marquis Gray Robe's introduction and his own understanding, the difference between Mystic Arts, Laws, and Cosmic Principles lay in the issue of 'compatibility'.

Mystic Arts had the smallest scope and were most susceptible to the influence of different worlds.

On the other hand, the power of Laws was present in almost all worlds and was less affected.

Finally, the Cosmic Principles encompassed everything and were above all universes and worlds!

"It's normal for the power of Mystic Arts to be influenced in the Main Universe... What's abnormal is that the weakening is so minimal."

"Either... the underlying rules of the Main Universe and the Daxia Universe are very similar, but even this can't explain..."

"Or... is the Daxia World, like the Demon God World, also a part of the Main Universe?"

The scale of the universe was truly immense, and even the region discovered by the Bluesky Federation, along with the area ravaged by the extradimensional Demon Gods, might just be the tip of the iceberg.

In a distant galaxy, countless light-years away, there could very well be another brilliant and advanced civilization.

'Or... could it be the other way around? What if the Daxia Universe is incredibly vast, and the Main Universe is just the inner world of a powerful being within the Daxia Universe?'

'And that powerful being is named 'Dream Artisan'?'

Fang Xing had a chilling thought.

Otherwise, why was this crossing through the Gates of the Multiverse so strange?

"For me, pondering these things seems pointless. The most important thing now is cultivation and breakthrough..."

"On my third trip to Daxia, I must obtain the inheritance."

During this period, he had constantly checked himself and hadn't felt any restrictions from oaths.

Therefore, Fang Xing was confident that his plan before leaving had succeeded.

With Li Ying signing a contract with a causal oath, once he crossed over again, he could bypass the restrictions and obtain Marquis Gray Robe's inheritance.

Even if it was just a common inheritance, it would still be better than having the Law Profound Mystery but lacking the strength to utilize it.

'Actually, Marquis Gray Robe's conditions weren't harsh... it's just that I can't entrust my safety to others or precious treasures...'

'If I can obtain Marquis Gray Robe's inheritance, even if there are no oath restrictions in the future, I will go to the Daxia World to avenge him and even try to resurrect him if I have the ability...'

'I forgot to ask, what kind of realm is required to resurrect the dead from the River of Time? Even a Law Sovereign might not be qualified, could it be that only a Dao Sovereign has the authority to do so?'

...

Several years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Fang Xing rarely left the Star Sea Factory and boarded his private spaceship.

"I'll leave the factory in your hands."

He looked at Nan Gong Xue, who still exuded a strong rustic aura, and said.

"Don't worry."

Nan Gong Xue adjusted her glasses and replied calmly, her tone filled with confidence.

During this period, it wasn't just Fang Xing who had made progress.

After obtaining the Essence Refiner, Nan Gong Xue immediately attempted to break through to the Martial Saint realm at the Nine Swords Academy.

This top-tier resource, due to its heavy pollution, was difficult to remove, and only martial artists dared to consume it.

Moreover, for Sword Sage profession practitioners, the effect would be increased by ten to twenty percent.

And Nan Gong Xue, being a top-notch genius, successfully broke through to the Martial Saint realm after obtaining the resource.

Furthermore, upon reaching the Martial Saint realm, she didn't stay at the Nine Swords Academy but came to find Fang Xing.

When they first met, they engaged in a fierce battle.

In the end, Nan Gong Xue, being a newly advanced Martial Saint, was easily defeated by Fang Xing, who secretly utilized the Fire Mystic Arts.

As Fang Xing was returning to Bluestar University, he naturally left Nan Gong Xue to guard the base.

After all, his mech was about to be completed, and he had to prevent any theft.

"Also, be careful with your thesis defense..."

Nan Gong Xue smiled and said, "I don't want to see you being given a hard time and unable to graduate, otherwise, I'll be one step ahead of you in terms of academic qualifications..."

No mistake! Fang Xing's primary purpose in returning to Bluestar University was to address his doctoral graduation and faculty retention issues.

To graduate as a Martial Arts Doctor, one needed sufficient martial arts prowess, which Fang Xing already possessed as a Martial Saint, so there was no need for an assessment.

Next was his doctoral thesis and defense, which he planned to use the new type of inhibitor as the topic, just going through the motions.

Nan Gong Xue dared to mock him, and she truly deserved a beating! Upon his return, he would give her a good thrashing!

Fang Xing entered the spaceship, and Little Blue immediately closed the cabin door, causing the blue spaceship to soar into the sky.

Inside the spaceship cabin.

"Teacher... I've already set off and will definitely make it there."

Fang Xing hung up the communication and his expression turned solemn.

His trip to Bluestar University was primarily to address his doctoral graduation, but there was a more important matter at hand.

The current principal of Bluestar University, Ye Liuyun, was about to step down and then challenge the realm beyond Martial God!

Ye Liuyun had already informed Fang Xing about this.

Fang Xing had always held respect for those who had paved the way in the martial path.

Moreover, as the Martial Saint of Bluestar University, he should at least pay a visit.

Or perhaps, witnessing it in person would be more beneficial for his future breakthrough.

'Now, I am outwardly a Martial Saint, but in reality, I have perfected the Fire Mystic Arts. Even without a proper inheritance, I might not lose to a new Martial God...'

'This is my greatest trump card, and it's a good opportunity to witness the depth of Bluestar University.'

...

Bluestar University.

A cerulean spaceship was docked directly at the university's spaceport.

The cabin door opened, and Fang Xing stepped out, not seeing any familiar faces.

Within the university, students had come and gone through countless batches, and all he could see were unfamiliar faces.

"Let's go meet Teacher Nie Ying first and discuss the issue of my doctoral graduation."

Fang Xing lifted his foot, ready to leave.

Suddenly!

His aura sensed a familiar presence, causing him to pause and change direction.

After walking for a while, he reached a small lake with some carp playing in the water.

By the lake, there was a robust figure, like a bodybuilder, standing there.

Upon seeing Fang Xing, the person revealed a wide smile and tossed over a bottle of soda, "A Xing... We meet again."

"A Wei..."

Fang Xing also smiled and clinked his soda bottle with the other, just like the old days.

A moment later.

Plop! Plop! The two soda bottles were thrown into the lake and slowly sank...

Fang Xing glanced around but didn't see any janitor Martial Gods coming to fine him for littering.

'It seems that janitor Martial Gods are quite rare at Bluestar University.'

He silently sighed to himself.

At this moment, Liu Wei spoke, "Back then... we worked day and night to earn money for university... In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and we've fulfilled our initial wishes, especially you, A Xing."

Liu Wei's gaze towards Fang Xing was complex, "I never dreamed that you would get into Bluestar University, let alone become a Martial Saint!"

'If you had the chance, you could have done it too. It's not that impressive...'

Fang Xing silently mocked in his mind and smiled, "You're not bad either. I heard that at the Federal Institute of Science, although you're being researched upon, you've still managed to break through to the Seventh Stage of the martial path, right? Even the former principal doesn't have your prestige!"

In his eyes, Liu Wei, despite being at the Seventh Stage, had a peculiar physique. It wasn't an ordinary Martial Dao Golden Core, but a more mysterious magnetic body. It seemed like the magnetic forces of heaven and earth were being drawn into the acupoints and meridians where his Golden Core was formed.

'Magnetic Martial Arts are indeed extraordinary.'

'Is this considered a different type of Golden Core? Primordial Magnetic Body? Bipolar Golden Body?'

Fang Xing mused in his mind.

"That's right, I'm here representing the Federal Institute of Science..." Liu Wei sighed, feeling that everything had changed and couldn't return to the past.

"So, what's the purpose of your visit? Is it for a new suppressant or materials from the Demon God Clan?"

In Fang Xing's hands, these were the only two things that attracted the most envy from outsiders.

However, sharing a small portion for research was not a problem at all.

"We want both."

Liu Wei shook his head, giving an answer that Fang Xing didn't expect, "But what they want the most... is you!"

"Me?"

Fang Xing pointed to his nose.

"Yeah, some people believe that your talent surpasses imagination and you're capable of taking on the subsequent research of Magnetic Martial Arts... So, they want me to persuade you to join the Magnetic Martial Arts project. If successful, there will be another possibility when you transcend the Martial God realm."

Liu Wei said with a hint of envy.

This was something he had always pursued, but others were begging A Xing to do it.

Moreover, just this equal dialogue and attitude were beyond what he, as a half-experimental subject, could compare to.

"You're inviting me to be a guinea pig?"

Fang Xing chuckled and refused without hesitation, "I won't do it."

If it were another Martial Saint, they might consider it carefully, after all, it was research from the highest federal institute.

Perhaps, the opportunity to transcend the Martial God realm was right here.

Being researched didn't mean being dissected, and cooperating with research might even bring many benefits.

But for Fang Xing, he already had two guaranteed paths to breakthrough, so he definitely didn't want to be a guinea pig.

No matter how equal the dialogue and exchange were, being researched still meant being a guinea pig.

Unless... he invested in the lab and researched himself.

'Magnetic Martial Arts... although promising, the path is indeed quite tortuous.'

"Alright."

Liu Wei saw Fang Xing's attitude and didn't persuade further. He had always known that his old friend, who seemed easygoing, had an inner resolve as hard as iron, and once he made a decision, he wouldn't change it.

Update postponed for tomorrow
