"Of course, I wouldn't bother to get acquainted with ordinary losers, but I've met a super genius who's as talented as I am. Don't you think I deserve the slot?"
Xingyue Shen 'er didn't defend herself; she simply declared proudly.
All the members of the Star Alliance smiled. That was a forced draw.
Although they were in awe of Xingyue Shen 'er, they knew that Su Ping's talent was even more horrifying. Even Xingyue Shen' er couldn't compare to him!
"As talented as you are?"
When Frankiel heard this, he was a little surprised. He knew this girl's nature. She had always been very arrogant. If she did not meet a real monster, she would definitely not admit that others were strong, especially not when she compared herself to them!
What kind of guy could earn the praise of such a proud girl?
"What do you think? I'm not asking for too much, am I?" Xingyue Shen 'er snorted.
Frankiel glanced around and noticed Su Ping in her small world. It couldn't be helped; Su Ping was too eye-catching. The others were all in the Star State. Even though some of them were concealing their auras, he could easily tell that they were in the Star State. Su Ping was the only one who seemed to be in the Fate State.
Was he hiding his cultivation?
He had to be at least a Star Lord if he could hide his cultivation in front of him. However, most Star Lords wouldn't stay in someone else's small world unless they were close friends. That was their dignity!
"It's him?"
Frankiel was confused. He observed Su Ping carefully.
"Yes, he's a member of our alliance. He's just reached the peak of the Fate State." Xingyue Shen 'er released Su Ping from her small world and put on a proud expression.
"His name is the Heaven Destroying Celestial. Listen, Master. It's only second to mine. You don't know this, but he was able to fight peak Star State experts when he was only in the Void State. He definitely has a chance to make it to the finals!"
Frankiel: "…"
Wasn't she afraid of being beaten up by others?
Su Ping was speechless, but he didn't say anything since he was aware of the girl's weird hobbies. He focused on what Su Ping had just said. "You said that he could fight against people at the peak of the Star State when he was at the Void State? This is something that even you couldn't do back then, unless you used the forbidden weapons your father gave you. "
Xingyue Shen 'er's face slightly changed. She coughed and said, "Who says I can't? I just didn't show my full potential back then. Like I said, Brother Heaven Destroyer is as talented as me!"
Frankiel was speechless. You killed so many people when you were on the Imperial Ranking List. How could you say you didn't show your full strength? He was about to detonate his body!
"Considering his talent, he'll probably make it to the top ten of Silvy easily even if he doesn't use the quota. Wouldn't it be a waste to ask for a quota?"
Frankiel doubted.
He knew that the girl was proud and wouldn't easily admit that someone at the Void State was at the peak of the Star Rank … She was definitely a genius who could make it to the finals!
There might not even be a top genius like her in the entire Silvy Galaxy!
Xingyue Shen 'er rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Didn't he miss the preliminaries because he was training in seclusion? Besides, he would be bullying others if he participated in the preliminaries. Do you know how precious a genius' time is? Do you think he's the same as those mediocre people?"
Frankiel: "…"
It's my fault that I missed the preliminaries?
Frankiel didn't say anything, seeing how protective Xingyue Shen 'er was of Su Ping. He could vaguely tell that Su Ping was dozens of times stronger than the average Fate State warrior. He was definitely a genius, even if Xingyue Shen' er wasn't exaggerating.
"Okay, but the quota is limited. I don't know if it's been allocated. I'll take you to ask the president first." Frankiel turned around and said, "However, don't make a scene if you don't have a quota. I heard that the competition in this Universe Geniuses' Contest is very fierce. Many descendants of the old monsters are participating."
"Humph. I don't care what kind of old monsters they are. They have to kneel in front of Brother Heaven Destroyer!" said Xingyue Shen 'er in disdain; she was very confident in Su Ping.
She had participated in the Universe Geniuses' Contest many years ago, and knew what it was like. Even if this one was more intense, how intense could it be? Su Ping, on the other hand, was already strong enough to make him one of the top ten in Silvy when he was in the Void State. He was definitely qualified to make it to the finals, not to mention that he was twice as strong now that he had reached the Fate State!
Frankiel frowned and said, "You can say that in front of me, but you'd better be careful in front of other people, in case you cause trouble for your father. Those old monsters aren't just Ascendant State seniors; their students and descendants have also shown up. You must keep a low profile, just like you did when you participated in the contest!"
Xingyue Shen 'er slightly raised her eyebrows, but the title "Celestial State" was quite intimidating. She didn't dare to say anything, even though she didn't want to.
It was fine to be rude to Ascendant State experts, but Celestial State experts were people who could look down on the entire Federation and the universe. They were the real top Gods of War, and could make Ascendant State experts bow with a single thought. They had to be careful when mentioning their names!
Inside the small world — the members of the Alliance of Stars looked at each other with complicated expressions. The Universe Geniuses' Contest was a gathering of the elites of the universe. The odds of them reaching the Ascendant State would be very high if they distinguished themselves!
Even some Celestial State experts would pay attention to them. After all, geniuses had to be trained from a young age. They had already grasped laws and found their own path after reaching the Star State; it would take more effort to train and teach them, and the results might not be as good.
Very soon, Xingyue Shen 'er and Su Ping followed Frankiel to a manor in the academy.
They passed by plains, forests and arenas on their way. The entire academy was as vast as a continent.
"Mr. President?"
A few men suddenly flew out of the manor when they were about to enter it. One of them was a tall middle-aged man who looked exactly like the statue at the gate of the academy. However, he was even more extraordinary than the statue, as if he were standing in the middle of countless overlapping spaces. He was clearly standing there, but no aura could be sensed from him.
Stunned for a moment, Frankiel quickly flew over and bowed. "Mr. Alan."
"Huh?"
The middle-aged man looked at him, but then shifted his gaze to Xingyue Shen 'er. He was surprised, but then he smiled and said, "Girl, what brings you back? Why didn't you tell me that you were going back to your alma mater?"
The members of the Alliance of Stars in the small world were all shocked. The man before them was the famous Mr. Alan, an Ascendant State mentor who had taught an Ascendant State student!
Nobody expected that he would be so nice to Xingyue Shen 'er.
Xingyue Shen 'er, however, didn't behave as rudely as she did to Frankiel. She bowed and pouted. "Mr. President, I was just trying to give you a surprise, so I came back to visit you and my teacher."
Next to her, Frankiel glanced at her.
Girl, that's not what you said to me a moment ago. You've learned your lesson after meeting the president?
Alan smiled and said, "It is indeed a pleasant surprise. You're at the top of the Royal Rank of our academy and the most distinguished student in the past hundreds of years. You must be close to the advanced phase of the Star Lord State. Keep it up. Come back to me when you reach the peak of the Star Lord State. I'll try to help you reach the Ascendant State."
Xingyue Shen 'er's eyes glittered. She quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. President!"
Frankiel's eyes glittered too. He quickly expressed his gratitude.
Xingyue Shen 'er was his student. If she could reach the Ascendant State, it would be a glorious achievement for him as a teacher!
"Who's this?"
Another mentor, who was wearing the same uniform as Frankiel's, looked at Su Ping and frowned. He didn't greet the president even though he was only in the Fate State. How rude!
He would have scolded him if he hadn't been with Xingyue Shen 'er and might be her brother.
Alan had noticed Su Ping too, but he didn't pay much attention to him. He didn't care if a kid who hadn't even reached the Star State was awed.
"This is my friend." Xingyue Shen 'er quickly said to Alan, "Mr. President, I'm here to ask you for a favor. I heard that our academy has a slot for the Universe Geniuses' Contest. Can you give me one?"
Frankiel: "…"
So, she's asking for a slot?
Alan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Su Ping and realized what was going on. He chuckled and said, "Speaking of the slots, we're about to distribute them. A lot of people are interested in the slots. Also, there are a lot of talented students in our academy. Naturally, the slots should be given to the students of our academy first."
Xingyue Shen 'er was stunned for a moment. She said anxiously, "Mr. President, the students of our academy can just go through the screening. Isn't it a form of training to challenge them? The slots should be given to those who aren't strong enough to go through the screening. It would be a complete waste of time for them to participate in the screening. "
Alan was amused. He said, "Little girl, you came back mainly for the slots, didn't you?"
Xingyue Shen 'er didn't change her expression. She smiled and said, "Of course not. I missed you while I was away from the academy."
"Didn't you miss your teacher?"
"I missed you too."
Frankiel: "…"
Too?
Alan couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw Frankiel's constipated face. He said, "You naughty girl. Alright, since you've come all the way here, I'll give you a slot."
Xingyue Shen 'er was stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be so easy. She said in delight, "Really? You're a great man, sir. You must keep your word! "
Alan smiled and said, "Originally, this quota isn't anything special. It's mainly because those fellows want to take a shortcut and can't be bothered to participate in the auditions. This quota only guarantees entry to the major star system's qualifiers, not the finals. Whether or not one can stand out from the rest of the star systems still depends on one's strength."
With that said, he looked at Su Ping and nodded. "Your friend seems to be quite strong. He's qualified to get a spot."
Xingyue Shen 'er smiled proudly. "You're truly wise, sir. My friend is a super genius. You'll know how awesome he is later!"
Alan smiled and said, "Since you're back, it just so happens that we're going to Goddess Suha's Duel Arena. Come with us. Let your juniors admire you and encourage them."
"Sure. I'd like to see the changes on the Royal Rank too," Xingyue Shen 'er accepted the offer.
Su Ping had been standing nearby and hadn't had a chance to talk. He was happy to see that the guy didn't care about him.
"Let's go." Alan waved his sleeves and flew away.
No money? I'll give you cash or coins.
You can claim it in one day! Attention
Everyone!
No.
Free of charge!
Xingyue Shen 'er followed Frankiel with Su Ping.
…
Goddess Suha's Arena —
It was the place where the Amir Royal Academy competed for the Royal Rank. Goddess Suha was one of the first students of the Amir Royal Academy. She was quite talented and had later ascended to the Ascendant State. She had specially built the arena for her alma mater when she visited; it had witnessed the rise and fall of countless geniuses.
The Amir Royal Academy recruited the rich and powerful. The geniuses with strong backgrounds had grown up in small families. They were all proud and didn't respect each other in the academy. The competition in the Amir Royal Academy was only second to that in the Dragon Tomb Academy, which was known as the Lunatic Academy, among the four best academies.
Goddess Suha's Arena was packed with people at the moment.
The arena was quite spacious; it was surrounded by a plain that was full of students.
Countless students were excited when the Universe Geniuses' Contest began; it was a chance to become famous.
A lot of people were also jealous of the guaranteed spots in the academy, which would allow them to skip the preliminaries and directly enter the galactic arena.
"Sister Offit, are the members of the Discipline Committee going to compete for the spots?" asked a silver-haired girl worriedly in a group of girls in the crowd.
Beside her was a woman with the same silver hair. This woman looked even younger and seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. However, her expression was very calm and composed. She had a kind of aura that could remain calm in the face of change.
"It's fine. Let's do it. I can win," said the girl named Offit with a smile and a sharp look.
"I trust you, sister. It's a shame that something has happened to the divine residence. I wonder how our family is doing. Otherwise, we could have asked you to visit Boss Su's shop; your combat ability would have definitely improved," said the silver-haired girl with a sigh. She was both regretful and worried about her hometown.
"The family head will find a way to avoid the disaster. I'm told that Ascendant State experts have been sent to suppress it. That's not something we can worry about. I can do the same even if I don't go to that pet store. One pet store won't change anything," said Offit casually, seemingly at ease.
A battle had already broken out in the arena while they were talking.
