C171 Excited Elder Zheng

Lu Chong had just returned to his dorm to rest for less than two hours when Prof. Xu came to find him again.

"Lu Chong, come with me."

"Prof. Xu, what's the hurry?" Lu Chong saw Prof. Xu's expression and asked in confusion.

"Old President Zheng wants to see you." Prof. Xu said with a serious expression.

Lu Chong was slightly stunned. "Is it that Elder Zheng?"

The Jiangnan Martial Arts University's Principal Zheng Qian had only heard of his name for the past four months and had never seen him.

To be exact, since he came to this world, he had heard many stories about Elder Zheng.

He was a legendary figure who had lived from the Great Calamity until now.

During that period of time, if someone like Elder Zheng had not appeared out of nowhere, the losses of Flame Country would have been immeasurable.

Furthermore, even after the Great Cataclysm, Elder Zheng was still the stabilizing pillar of the Flame Country.

He helped the Flame Country tide through the world after the catastrophe. It was only after a hundred years that he retreated to the second-tier of the battle and became the principal of the Jiangnan Martial Arts University.

After entering the martial arts education world, Elder Zheng also made a very outstanding contribution to the Flame Country.

Out of the eight Peak of Martial King in Flame Country, half of them had received Elder Zheng's guidance.

This old man who had personally witnessed the changes in the Blue Star after the Cataclysm was a legend in his life. His wonderful story could not be finished in a day.

Although Lu Chong had only been in this world for less than a year, he still felt respect for such a figure.

He had never thought that he would be able to see this legendary old hero at such a close distance.

"He's the one you think he is." Prof. Xu nodded and reminded Lu Chong at the same time, "Don't be nervous. Elder Zheng is a kind person and doesn't put on airs."

Lu Chong nodded. He was not nervous. He was just curious and excited.

The two of them soon came to the principal's office. Prof. Xu was about to knock on the door when he heard a gentle voice from inside. "Come in."

"Teacher, I brought Lu Chong here." Prof. Xu looked at the old man sitting on the armchair and introduced him.

"Hello, Principal Zheng." Lu Chong also fixed his eyes on the old man sitting on the chair.

He had long white hair and a long beard, and his face was full of red light. He gave people the feeling of a spring breeze.

From the looks of it, he did not have the sharp and oppressive feeling that Vice-president Zhou gave off. It could even be said that he was approachable.

However, Lu Chong understood that it was not that Principal Zheng was ordinary, but that he had already reached the realm of returning to his original self and had completely withdrawn his edge.

Old President Zheng waved his hand. "Teacher Xu, you can go down first. I'll chat with Lu Chong casually."

Prof. Xu's gaze warned Lu Chong, meaning that he should not discuss any conditions with Elder Zheng.

Prof. Xu knew very well that Old President Zheng was good at everything. He was surprisingly thrifty and thrifty.

He could understand. After all, he had come from the Great Cataclysm. He had seen real hardships in the human world. Being thrifty had become a habit.

"But Lu Chong doesn't know. Don't annoy the teacher." Prof. Xu closed the door nervously and waited outside.

He should have reminded Lu Chong earlier, but he was afraid of ruining his teacher's image, so Prof. Xu hesitated for a long time and did not say it out loud.

"Little guy, take a seat." Elder Zheng pointed at the wooden sofa that had fallen off some paint on the opposite side and said with a smile.

Lu Chong complied and sat down.

Elder Zheng stroked his beard lightly and nodded lightly, "That's right, breaking through to the Martial Grandmaster so quickly, it's out of my expectations."

"Actually, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. It has started when you consumed the Beast King's Heart Blood."

"You didn't let me down in the Martial Competition after that."

Lu Chong did not expect that he had long alarmed this elusive old man. He hurriedly said, "Thank you for your trouble. It was the school's good nurturing."

"Haha..." Elder Zheng laughed out loud. "It's not good to be too modest. The school just did its duty."

"How far you can go and how fast you can go depends on yourselves."

"However, what really surprises me is the results and speed of your recovery of martial skills."

"I'm afraid you still don't know the long-term significance of this." Elder Zheng did not beat around the bush any longer, explaining the intention of this meeting.

"Please enlighten me." Lu Chong said honestly.

He knew that repairing martial skills could help the Flame Country accumulate more inheritance and resources, and nurture even more powerful Martial Cultivator.

But from what Old President Zheng said, it seemed like it wasn't just that?

Elder Zheng said with a smile, "In fact, after so many years of accumulation in the Flame Country, we already have enough confidence in the Human Rank and even the Earth Rank martial arts."

"No matter how much we repair it, it will only be a icing on the cake."

"Furthermore, although most of the professors and scholars have slow recovery speed, over the years, the number of them is still very considerable."

"But..." Zheng Lao changed the topic and stared at Lu Chong. "The real reason why they helped us in the snow and even created a new era is because of the restoration of the Heaven Rank martial arts."

"Do you understand?"

Lu Chong nodded as if he did not understand.

"There are only five complete Heaven Rank martial arts in Flame Country. You should have heard about it." Elder Zheng continued.

Lu Chong nodded. He had heard of it before.

"Furthermore, these five Heaven Rank martial arts are actually only mid-heaven grade."

"The true meaning of the Five Heaven Rank martial arts is enough for an ordinary Martial King. Even most Martial King can't cultivate a single Heaven Rank martial arts to the Perfection."

"But..." Elder Zheng said slowly, "It's still not enough for me and those old men."

"Take me as an example. When I was less than 60 years old, I was already a Martial King."

"By now, I'm almost a hundred and sixty years old."

"I have spent almost a hundred years to study the Heaven Rank martial arts. I have already mastered all of them."

"But even now, the few of us still haven't broken through to the Martial King. Do you know why?"

Lu Chong suddenly raised his head, "You mean there is a higher realm above the Martial King?"

Old President Zheng nodded as if it was a matter of course." Of course there is. Not now, but it doesn't mean there was no before, nor does it mean there won't be any in the future. "

"At least there are related records in the ancient martial relic."0

Lu Chong was excited. He had thought of this before, but he wasn't sure about the path that no one had taken before.

Now that he had gotten the confirmation from Old President Zheng, it made him look forward to the future path of martial arts even more.

"Then why?" Back to Old President Zheng's question, Lu Chong was also curious.

"Because the true meaning of martial arts is insufficient." Old President Zheng said with slight excitement, "To be more precise, it is the true meaning of martial arts that is contained in the Low-grade Heaven Rank martial arts. It is not enough to support the breakthrough to the Martial King."

"I believe that you will also experience this point every time you make a breakthrough."

Lu Chong really wanted to say that he had never experienced it before. The main reason was that he had never encountered a bottleneck.

However, he was afraid that he would get beaten up if he said it, so he shut his mouth and nodded.
