章 28: Big Shots Gather
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
Di!
Di!
The railcar entered a magnificent city.
They had arrived at the magic city of the central city of District 3. The Heavenly Divine Academy's campus occupied over half of the magic city.
The railcar gradually slowed down.
Near the station, the entrance that was originally crowded with people was now empty.
"Is there some big shot coming today? Why did our transit station suddenly close down?"
The magic city's transit station was very luxurious.
There were also special lighthouses and watchtowers.
In the tower, a staff member who was not informed of what was happening was very surprised to see the state of the station.
He had been working here for a long time, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Even when the alliance leader had come to the magic city previously, the station had only been cleared out briefly.
It had not been completely sealed like it was now.
Could it be that someone who is even nobler than the alliance leader is coming here?
"Xiao Liang, stop talking nonsense if you don't know anything."
"We just need to do as we're told."
"The railcar has already entered the station. Do your job."
Beside him, a white-haired employee who was obviously more experienced than him scolded him.
"I understand, inspector."
Xiao Liang immediately quietened down.
He, indeed, did not have to worry about these kinds of things.
"Inspector, look over there. I'm not seeing things, am I?"
"That's the vice city lord of our magic city, Meng Chen."
While Xiao Liang was looking around, he suddenly saw a figure that was almost never at the transit station.
His eyes instantly widened.
Moreover, the vice city lord was standing right outside the special passage.
This special passage was never opened easily. It would only be opened when receiving important people.
Right now, a man with a cold expression was standing outside the special passage. He was wearing a black windbreaker, and a large group of people followed behind him.
Xiao Liang instantly recognized who this man was.
It was their magic city's vice city lord, Meng Chen.
As a staff member of the magic city's transit station, Xiao Liang was naturally able to recognize the vice city lord.
no wonder the transit station was temporarily sealed off. It turns out that the vice city Lord is here.
Xiao Liang mumbled as if he was suddenly enlightened.
The inspector looked at Xiao Liang and shook his head helplessly.
"Xiao Liang, take a closer look."
"The vice city lord is obviously waiting for someone. Otherwise, why would he seal off the entire station just for himself?"
"The vice city lord must be waiting for someone who is even more distinguished than he is."
The inspector was only stunned for a moment before he regained his sense.
However...
He could not help but wonder how great the identity of the person who the vice city lord was waiting for for the vice city lord to be willing to come out and receive them personally.
"Ah?"
Xiao Liang came to another realization after being made aware of the situation by the inspector.
It isn't just the vice city lord that's come to receive the other party?
This was the magic city of District 3. The position of the vice city lord was already very high.
Could it be that big shots from District 2 and District 1 are coming over?
However, the higher-ups in the first three districts had always been at odds with each other. How could they make such a big scene when receiving the others?
He could not understand.
Suddenly, his eyes widened again.
"Inspector, look!"
"Isn't... Isn't that City Lord Qiao Ming?!"
"Why is he here?"
The inspector followed Xiao Liang's line of sight and his eyes almost popped out.
"That is indeed the city lord...."
"Isn't that Martial Emperor Lin?"
"The vice dean of the Heavenly Divine Academy, Xiong Ba, is also here!"
"The people from the Martial Arts Academy are also here!"
The more the inspector looked, the more shocked he was.
Those big shots who were rarely seen were actually all gathered here.
Then just what kind of big shot was the person they were receiving?
Those standing at the front of the group were all famous big shots.
Martial Emperor Lin, City Lord Ou Zisheng, Vice City Lord Qiao Ming, and a few others.
Every single person standing behind them was a giant of a region, and they were all gathered here.
It was all for the sake of meeting the gradeless genius.
"Martial Emperor Lin, is what you said true?"
Qiao Ming frowned and asked.
He was supposed to rest at home today, but City Lord Ou Zisheng suddenly called him and said that a genius was coming to the magic city and then asked him to come and welcome him.
He originally held some disdain in his heart, wondering what kind of genius could make him, the vice city lord of the magic city, come and welcome them personally?
However, when he arrived, he saw Martial Emperor Lin.
The opinions in his heart had calmed down a lot. After all, an existence that could be welcomed by a Martial Emperor was definitely not weak.
"We'll know what's true and what's false once he arrives."
Lin Men said indifferently.
Along the way, these people had asked him the same question many times, so he could not help but reply with a hint of annoyance in his tone.
As a martial emperor, how could he possibly lie to others?
Meanwhile, on the railcar.
"Alright, since you've arrived safely, I'll take my leave first."
Long Sheng stood on the platform and bade Lu Huai farewell with a smile.
After all, his mission was to accompany Lu Huai and send him to District 3.
Long Sheng left after Lu Huai expressed his gratitude.
As for Lin Xiaomeng, Liao An, and the others, they were taken away as soon as they got off the railcar.
The veterans were also taken to the nearest hospital for treatment.
Only Liu Changqing and Luo Shui were left by his side.
"Dean, why did those people leave?" Lu Huai asked, puzzled.
"It's probably someone from the magic city," Liu Changqing replied with a smile.
"If I'm not wrong, they should be waiting for you outside in the station."
"Why did they have to make such a big scene out of this? Isn't this a bit too ostentatious?" Lu Huai could not help but feel troubled.
"If they want to come and see you, just let them."
"But you, how did you become a martial master in a month? Even I was taken off guard."
Lu Huai choked.
He also knew that this was indeed a bit too shocking.
Then, he rolled his eyes and pushed all the credit to that heaven-grade cultivation technique.
After all, the heaven-grade breathing technique had indeed brought him great benefits.
"Heaven-grade cultivation technique?" Luo Shui said in shock.
"You've already comprehended the heaven-grade cultivation technique?"
"Yeah, it was not that difficult," Lu Huai replied subconsciously.
Luo Shui was silent.
Lu Huai's words were a huge blow to her.
She was currently also cultivating a heaven-grade cultivation technique, but she had not even comprehended half of it.
But now, Lu Huai was telling her that it was not that difficult to comprehend a heaven-grade cultivation technique?
She was depressed.
Were all geniuses so good at making others feel horrible?
Liu Changqing was also shocked for a moment before he smiled and said, "It seems that your comprehension ability for cultivation techniques is also rather amazing."
Knowing that the reason for his swift progress in cultivation was the heaven-grade cultivation technique, Liu Changqing was no longer that surprised.
He was very clear on how much a heaven-grade cultivation method could increase the strength of a low-level martial artist.
This also explained why Lu Huai had become a martial master in such a short span of time.
It was still quite abnormal, though.
"Alright, let's not delay any longer. The important figures outside are probably getting impatient."
Liu Changqing brought Lu Huai with him, and behind him followed Luo Shui, who had her head lowered and was deep in thought.
The three of them slowly left the platform and walked out.
