Xu Zhou pondered for two seconds and said, "I’m not very sure either. I didn’t feel much at the time; maybe it’s because of the Circulation Acupoints..."
"Circulation Acupoints?"
Wu Qingshan was stunned upon hearing this.
So, there really is such a possibility!
After all, Circulation Acupoints are legendary acupoints, and there’s only one known case in humans. It might indeed counteract the influence of the Moon God.
Seeing this, Xu Zhou also breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn’t know how to explain this matter, so he could only use the Circulation Acupoints as a cover.
Fortunately, judging by everyone’s expression, they seemed to believe it.
"Since it’s because of the Circulation Acupoints, that’s good." Wu Qingshan also sighed in relief and said, "I can also explain this matter to certain higher-ups."
Xu Zhou showed a look of confusion.
Wu Qingshan said, "After that tournament, many top officials noticed you. If today’s matter gets out, people will think you’re associated with the Moon God Sect."
He laughed and said, "With this explanation, I’m not afraid of them spreading rumors."
"I see."
Xu Zhou nodded slightly, but inside, he felt a change. It seems that the reforms in the Divine Martial Department have infringed on the interests of many.
Although he is not the leader of this matter, it is closely related to the future of the True Martial Department.
This seemingly peaceful Yan Country is probably already full of undercurrents, with many people watching him secretly, ready to blow any unusual situation out of proportion.
"I must get stronger quickly." Xu Zhou felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
He foresaw that an unprecedented upheaval would occur next.
Only by becoming stronger can he have the confidence to deal with these.
Luckily, he gained a lot from this battle and could directly advance to the third-grade and condense the Divine Skills seed when he returned.
By then, even against a strong Fourth Rank martial artist, he would have the power to fight.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhou felt relieved.
"Alright, let’s head back." Wu Qingshan laughed, seeing that Xu Zhou was fine, and he too felt relieved. freёwebnovel.com
Xu Zhou nodded, and Wu Qingshan lifted him up, instantly crossing dozens of miles, flying towards Phoenix Valley.
...
In Phoenix Valley, four peak Ninth Grade strongmen had already left.
Only Qian Wanjiang and some students remained there awaiting.
Soon, Wu Qingshan and others returned with Xu Zhou.
"This encirclement operation is now over!"
Wu Qingshan announced loudly, "The students of Imperial Martial Arts University will be escorted by Academician Qian, and the rest follow me back to Guang Han Martial University!"
From below, a student shouted, "Principal Wu, do our kill contributions still count?"
"Of course, they count!"
Wu Qingshan smiled and said, "Fine, since you’re eager, we’ll settle it here!"
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Wanchen beside him.
Shen Wanchen nodded and immediately stood out, shouting, "The following is the settlement list, ranked from front to back!"
"First place, Xu Zhou! Killed one Fourth Rank martial artist, two late third-grade, four early third-grade, and nine peak Second Grade!"
"Reward: 24,500 contribution points!"
The entire place fell silent!
Shen Wanchen’s first words left everyone stunned.
How...how much?
Over twenty thousand contribution points?
But what was even more shocking was Xu Zhou’s record.
"Killed a Fourth Rank?"
"Isn’t Xu Zhou only late Second Grade? It’s one thing to kill a third-grade, but even a Fourth Rank martial artist?"
"How is that possible!!"
Among those who came, who wasn’t one of the nation’s top talents, making leapfrog challenges commonplace?
But for a Second Grade to kill a Fourth Rank; this has never happened in the history of Blue Star!
