Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Reporting to Jing University, No One Recognizes Gu Yuexi?
At the gates of the Capital City.
Gu Yuexi’s expression flickered as she felt the intense mental fluctuations emanating from the top of her head.
’Is this… the mental fluctuation of the Fifth-Grade Mental Power Realm?’
Her heart skipped a beat.
’Crap!’
’He’s surpassed me again!’
’How does this damned mosquito advance his realm in his sleep?’
’It’s too ridiculous! How am I supposed to compete with that?!’
The dignified Reborn Empress once again felt a sharp sense of defeat, mingled with a familiar feeling of speechlessness…
However, she quickly readjusted her mood.
’No!’
’I absolutely can’t let this happen, especially not let him surpass me by too much.’
’Otherwise, a situation where the beast controls the human might actually occur, and that is something I absolutely, positively cannot tolerate.’
’At the very least, we should be equals, right?’
’So, I must hurry and improve myself.’
And this Capital City was the next stop in her plan.
With that thought, Gu Yuexi decisively stepped into the Capital City.
The very moment her foot crossed into the Capital City, Chu Sheng, perched atop her head, finally opened his eyes and woke up completely.
…
The Capital City, the capital of Great Xia, was also the place where the entire nation’s fortune was most prosperous.
Unlike the oppressive atmosphere and post-war reconstruction of Du Nan City, everything here was brimming with vitality, order, and an indescribable sense of profound history.
Skyscrapers stood in dense rows, interspersed with ancient architectural complexes that exuded a historical charm.
The streets were bustling with traffic and swarming with pedestrians.
Perched on Gu Yuexi’s head, Chu Sheng looked around and discovered that almost everyone had some degree of Cultivation. The street vendors, for example, were all around the Second-Grade Qi Blood Realm, and as for proper powerful cultivators, they were a dime a dozen.
’Worthy of being the capital of Great Xia.’
Even though Great Xia was currently surrounded by several war zones, it didn’t affect the prosperity of the Capital City.
Just looking wasn’t satisfying enough, so Chu Sheng simply activated his [Nether Vision]. A Perception Realm with a radius of a full thirty thousand meters instantly spread out, covering almost the entire Capital City.
However, he quickly discovered that something was wrong!
Within the god-like perspective of his Nether Vision, many parts of the Capital City were blurry, as if they were being shielded by something!
’Is this… an Array that blocks Perception? Or something similar?’
Chu Sheng had encountered this phenomenon on Hong Kong Island as well, but it was nowhere near as prevalent as it was here. Within his thirty-thousand-meter field of view, countless blurry spots of light appeared one after another, completely blocking his Perception.
Suddenly, Chu Sheng detected an incomparably powerful Divine Sense extending from one of the spots of light, seemingly trying to trace the source of the prying gaze.
Divine Sense was a term reserved for Mental Power that had reached the King-level! And the aura of this Divine Sense was even beyond King-level.
However, no matter how powerful this Divine Sense was, it couldn’t locate Chu Sheng’s Nether Vision and eventually had to retract.
Chu Sheng was slightly alarmed.
’Looks like this Capital City is full of powerful beings.’
’Not just powerful, but aggressive too!’
’Heh heh, thankfully, Nether Vision isn’t as simple as ordinary Mental Power Perception!’
…
Chu Sheng followed Gu Yuexi, taking in the sights like a tourist.
Finally, the human and the beast arrived at the entrance of Capital City University.
The main gate of Jing University stood thirty meters tall, built from a single block of Profound Cyan Steel Rock. Intricate Energy Circuits were engraved on its surface, faintly glowing with a pale golden light.
Stepping through the gate, a dense wave of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi washed over them, instantly refreshing their spirits.
The campus was surprisingly spacious. The first thing that caught their eye was a vast martial arts training ground, and further beyond, training halls of various designs were scattered in a well-ordered layout.
The roads were lined not with ordinary trees, but with a type of Spiritual Plant called “Dragon Blood Ironwood.” The branches of these trees were dark red and hard as iron, and their leaves rustled in the breeze with a metallic chime.
According to Gu Yuexi, this Spiritual Plant could purify Spiritual Qi, making it even purer.
Chu Sheng hesitated for a moment, but seeing that these Dragon Blood Ironwoods were of a relatively low grade, he managed to resist the urge to go take a sip…
The two strolled across the campus. Along the way, the students they passed hurried by, most of them with steady auras and sharp gazes.
Some carried Heavy Swords on their backs as they strode toward the training halls, while others gathered in twos and threes to discuss their insights on Martial Techniques. The entire campus was permeated with an atmosphere where the Martial Dao was held in the highest esteem.
As expected of one of Great Xia’s two top institutions, on par with Huaqing University. In terms of environment and atmosphere alone, it was indeed more than a cut above Hong Kong University.
“BZZZ? (Do you think a lot of people will recognize us and rush over for an autograph or something?)”
Chu Sheng asked casually, looking left and right.
In his mind, Gu Yuexi’s reputation was quite formidable now!
Although the Evil God incident in Sui Ming Province was classified as top secret, her fame from Hong Kong Island was the real deal.
On Hong Kong Island, Gu Yuexi’s name and his own were at the absolute pinnacle of fame. Here in the Capital City, even if they only had a tenth of that recognition, they should still be highly sought-after, right?
The “One and Only Female Beast Taming Empress in All of History”!
That title should be enough to shake the entire Cultivation Realm of Great Xia, right?
Logically, walking on the Jing University campus should have caused a huge commotion and attracted a large crowd of adoring fans, both male and female.
And yet, that didn’t happen.
From the moment they entered the school gates until now, quite a few people had been stunned by Gu Yuexi’s unparalleled beauty and cool temperament, frequently turning their heads for a second look, but that was all.
Their gazes held only simple appreciation and curiosity, without a single trace of the excitement and adoration one would show a celebrity.
Even at the registration office, the few upperclassmen in charge merely paused for a second upon seeing Gu Yuexi before professionally asking her to present her ID and acceptance letter.
When they saw the name “Gu Yuexi,” their expressions didn’t change in the slightest.
“Gu Yuexi… from Sui Ming Province…”
An upperclasswoman flipped through the list in her hands. “Found her. S-Class?!”
Only when she saw that Gu Yuexi was an S-Class student did the upperclasswoman’s tone become surprised, and her attitude grew slightly warmer.
“Here you go. Take your documents upstairs to the supervising instructor.”
’What’s the deal?’
’Does really no one recognize her? There was such a huge uproar on Hong Kong Island, and not a peep of news reached the Continent?’
’Even if there’s always been some information gap between Hong Kong Island and the Continent, it shouldn’t be this big, right?’
Of course, Chu Sheng wasn’t too bothered by the situation, he just felt that something was a little off.
Gu Yuexi, on the other hand, couldn’t care less. She was actually happy for the peace and quiet that came with no one recognizing her.
They went up to the second floor.
She walked up to the teacher in charge of processing the paperwork, documents in hand.
The person responsible for admissions was a stern-looking middle-aged woman. She glanced at Gu Yuexi’s file, and her brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
“Gu Yuexi, is it? Recommended admission?”
“Classes started a week ago. Why are you only just now reporting in?!”
