"Master, I have information on Lin Qi!"
Suddenly, the silver metal sphere beside him spoke.
Dean Liu furrowed his brows.
"Less than a month into his time at Beastblood Colossus, and he's contacting me already. Something must've happened."
"Did he get into a conflict with someone? The Colossus attracts geniuses from all nations - tensions are inevitable. Or maybe he forgot something and needs my help?"
He turned to the projection screen displaying a message:
[Lin Qi: Dean Liu, I've completed my cultivation. You can pick me up tomorrow. No need to doubt - it's real.]
...
Dean Liu blinked repeatedly to confirm he'd read it correctly.
"Lin Qi finished his cultivation already?"
He pulled out his phone, checked the calendar. Just 25 days had passed.
"Only 25 days to master an advanced martial art? This breaks all records!"
Suddenly, another notification buzzed - a Wechat message from Director Fu with an attached image. When opened, it showed the Beastblood Colossus cultivation rankings.
Lin Qi's name now topped the list, displacing Sun Sheng.
Dean Liu's pupils contracted.
His hands moved automatically as he rose, changed clothes, and rushed out, sending messages to Deputy Principal Mu Hong, Xue Zhou, and Principal Li Qifeng along the way.
...
The news spread like wildfire. In the Xia Kingdom's Black Dragon Base:
"Roar!"
Disaster beasts surged against the steel-walled fortress spanning dozens of kilometers. Artillery fire blazed as martial artists fought side by side with modern weaponry. Amidst the chaos, Xu Qin - an Sss-Rank genius with two awakened special abilities - slashed through level 7 beasts, rapidly climbing the achievement rankings.
"Buzz!"
Mountain and River King's phone vibrated. After reading the message, his stern expression melted into a grin.
"Good news, old Huo?" asked Overlord Ba, a purple-armored giant radiating domineering aura.
"Better than you could imagine", Mountain and River King said, projecting the rankings.
Gasps erupted as the group saw Lin Qi's name.
"Twenty-five days? He shattered Sun Sheng's record!"
"Sun and Li Tianxing were Xia's greatest talents in decades. Now both surpassed!"
Recollections followed - Sun Sheng's 42-day cultivation feat, his battle against Li Tianxing. The memory of breaking records paled compared to this new milestone.
...
In the Imperial Capital, Li Tianxing meditated in a white martial arts robe. Crimson light flared in his pupils as he declared, "Eight Blood Transfigurations soon. Who else in Xia rivals my innate talent?"
A green hologram materialized - Li Tianxing's call.
"Your Colossus record's been broken. 17 days faster."
"Who?"
As Lin Qi's name appeared, the white-robed genius smirked. "Remember this name, Lin Qi. Let's see if you're as strong as you are fast."
...
Back in Room 305, Lin Qi stretched after a day-long sleep. Messages piled from Dean Liu and Teacher Mu Hong. As he checked in, Dean Liu entered, marveling, "You've broken Sun Sheng's record - our kingdom's greatest prodigy."
"Why haven't I heard of Sun Sheng or Li Tianxing before?"
"They're hidden assets", Dean explained. "Targeted by the Vermin Race. Sun Sheng survived multiple assassinations, including a three-year coma from poison. When he recovered, he broke cultivation records at Beastblood Colossus."
Dean detailed Sun's achievements - awakening special abilities at 12, signing as Sss-Rank at 15, and reaching Seventh Realm by 18 despite his injuries.
Lin Qi exhaled deeply. Sun Sheng's story rivaled his own, creating unexpected pressure. It had been years since he'd felt true competition.
