Chapter 29 Continental Projection
In the training room, Jiang Mo's hand holding the sword trembled as he looked at Chen Zheng in disbelief.
"You...are you really at level six?"
At this moment, Chen Zheng had already sheathed his sword and stood there, looking at him strangely: "Of course I'm a level six martial artist. Didn't you see me break through a couple of days ago?"
"That's strange. We're at the same cultivation level, but why do I feel like your power is much greater than mine?" Jiang Mo was a little confused.
Chen Zheng said without changing his expression, "A saber is heavy and slashes with great force and momentum, while a sword moves lightly and nimbly. It's normal for you to feel this way. In comparison, your sword is indeed 'lighter'."
Is it light?
The power he condensed on his sword was a full 800 kilograms; a casual strike could cut a cow in half, and it was still light.
No, this guy is trying to fool me!
"I'm not fighting anymore!" Jiang Mo waved his hand, sheathing his longsword. "I was originally planning to take advantage of your newfound swordsmanship to beat you up, but I almost got beaten by you."
"Either is fine," Chen Zheng said indifferently.
"Jiang Mo actually lost." Li Tang, who was watching from the sidelines, was a little surprised.
After all, Jiang Mo was considered an "old-timer" among level six martial artists. He had not only reached this level a few months earlier than Chen Zheng, but he had also practiced his swordsmanship for several more months.
What about Chen Zheng?
I broke through to level six the day before yesterday, and today I'm learning swordsmanship.
Bai Su said softly, "Although Chen Zheng's swordsmanship is still raw, his moves are standard and powerful. Jiang Mo, on the other hand, is a bit overconfident and it's normal for him to be suppressed."
Furthermore, she noticed that Chen Zheng was very calm during the fight, and every strike he made landed precisely on Jiang Mo's sword without any sign of tension.
He's more like a martial arts practitioner who's seen blood than a liberal arts student specializing in runes.
However, these white pastries only thought about it and didn't say anything.
Boom! A strong tremor came, and the entire building shook.
"What's going on? Another overlord creature has broken out of the dimensional rift?"
But the shaking of the building did not stop; instead, it continued to sway, frightening the four people so much that they dared not linger and rushed out of the training room. At this moment, the corridor was full of students.
"Take the stairs!" Chen Zheng shouted.
As the four of them rushed out of the building with the crowd, they saw that the outside was already densely packed with students, all staring at the sky with their mouths agape in shock.
A phantom image of a continent slowly drifted in, casting a shadow that blotted out the sky.
Because it was "too close," Chen Zheng could even see the continuous mountain ranges and rivers on the mainland, giving him the feeling of looking down at the planet from space—magnificent and grand.
Just then, a deep voice resounded throughout the entire campus: "Everyone, don't panic. The strange phenomenon in the sky is a dimensional continent that the principal has detected, and it is merging into the school's secret realm."
Hiss! Even Chen Zheng couldn't help but gasp this time.
To directly capture a plane the size of an entire continent, this principal is too powerful! Also, is it true that martial arts in this world have only been developing for a hundred years?
The strange phenomenon of the approaching majestic continent lasted for almost an hour before disappearing.
It was already dark when the sky darkened, and the entire Jiangzhou University was bustling with activity. Most of the students, who were usually either studying or cultivating, had come out, and there were people everywhere.
Jiang Mo's tone was also somewhat excited: "Our principal is so powerful, he actually managed to pull back such a large continent, he feels almost like a god."
"That's the charm of martial arts."
Bai Su said softly, "Through cultivation, we ordinary people can gradually transform into gods, or even higher levels of life forms."
Bai Su's words evoked a sense of longing in everyone.
After longing for it, Li Tang's face showed regret: "Unfortunately, our cultivation talents are all average, and we are destined not to go far on the path of martial arts."
"Yes," Jiang Mo sighed as well.
They only switched to the rune system because their martial arts talent was average. After learning runes, they had even less time to cultivate. A person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to be proficient in everything.
Chen Zheng also sighed, because his martial arts talent was also "average".
Bai Su shook her head slightly: "It's not that absolute. Qi and blood martial arts are one path, and runes are another. Who says that becoming a god can only be achieved through cultivating qi and blood martial arts?"
Ok?
The three of them looked puzzled.
The girl in the white dress, standing by the lake, said softly, "Martial arts, runes, the divine patterns of the White Eagle City, and the holy light of the White Bear City all come from the inheritances of worlds swallowed by the abyss."
"It's just that martial arts traditions are more suitable for popularization and have a more complete path, so they have become the main cultivation system here."
"For example, the dean of our Rune Academy walks the path of runes, and his strength is unfathomable. I've heard that he's no less powerful than the dean of the Martial Arts Academy."
"Are runes really that powerful?" Jiang Mo asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's powerful. You can't feel it now because it's too weak. Otherwise, why would runes be one of the three major systems in Jiangzhou?"
At this moment, Jiang Mo noticed a blind spot, stroked his chin, and said, "So, the Materials Science Department, as one of the three major departments of Jiangzhou University, also has strong individuals there?"
Bai Su nodded: "Yes, the Materials Institute is involved in the analysis and use of all spiritual medicines, minerals, and items related to the extraordinary, including the flesh and scales of exotic beasts."
"It is further divided into departments such as alchemy and casting."
"For example, in the study of alchemy, some students treat themselves as elixirs to refine, resulting in an extremely powerful physique that is stronger than that of cultivators of the same level who practice strength cultivation techniques."
"You can do that?"
Li Tang suddenly realized, "Wait, Su Su, how do you know all this?"
Bai Su's beautiful eyes flickered slightly: "When I get tired of reading, I like to go to the school website to read some news about the school. I saw all of this on there."
"Didn't you guys read the news?" Bai Su asked, looking at the three of them with a puzzled expression.
"Ahem! I usually like to browse the school forum and read gossip." Jiang Mo said somewhat embarrassedly.
Li Tang also shook her head: "I usually log on to the school network to browse literature and read some rune papers published by senior students."
As for Chen Zheng, he focused on his studies last semester and rarely logged into the school network. These past few days, he's been busy all day long since waking up.
On the contrary, Bai Su, this genius, actually likes to browse campus news in his spare time?
Because the scene that unfolded in the evening was so impactful, the noisy and bustling atmosphere at the school didn't subside until very late.
When Chen Zheng returned to his dormitory, it was already eleven o'clock. He had no interest in studying or cultivating. He took a quick shower and lay down on the bed, his mind sinking into the abyss.
After defeating a small demon tribe, they discovered a 'ruin' on the other side of the abyss.
…………
In the vast underground space, a black-armored earth dragon, already eight and a half meters long, stood on a rock, looking down below.
Today, the Black Armored Earth Dragon has explored the passage within a five-kilometer radius of its base camp, gathering over a hundred dog-headed monsters and more than ten minotaur monsters.
During this period, he killed more than ten monsters and grew to eight meters and three inches tall.
At this moment, more than two hundred dog-headed monsters were digging at the ground and carrying bricks, while more than twenty minotaur monsters were lifting the collapsed pillars. For a time, dust billowed and it was quite a lively scene.
The abyss has swallowed many worlds, whose civilizations perished and whose life degenerated into abyssal monsters, but traces of their existence remain.
These ruins and artifacts have almost all decayed and turned to dust under the erosion of time, and the Black Armored Earth Dragon didn't really expect to gain anything.
Aww!!
A commotion arose in the distance, and the dog-headed demon Vala burst out of a cave, gesturing with his claws as he said, "My lord, there's a large cave down there, and I found an egg inside."
"We've actually made a discovery!" The Black-Armored Earth Dragon's eyes lit up. "Let's go take a look." The Black-Armored Earth Dragon leaped off the rock, and instantly the ground shook, and the rock cracked.
The cave dug by these monsters was very large, with an entrance that was over ten meters wide, leading all the way down.
At the bottom is an underground palace space, with star maps and blurry carvings of enormous creatures engraved on the corroded stone walls, creating an atmosphere full of mystery.
The only part that is somewhat intact is the palace roof, which is carved with a huge creature with six pairs of wings, resembling a butterfly, which almost blocks out the starry sky.
In the center of the palace is an altar also engraved with star maps, on which sits a gray stone egg with a diameter of more than two meters and a height of nearly three meters, its surface covered with scale-like patterns.
With heavy steps, the Black Armored Earth Dragon arrived at the altar.
Bang! The enormous dragon claw gently patted the stone egg, producing a solid, dull thud, but no trace of life could be sensed.
"It's been too long, has it already petrified?" The Black Armored Earth Dragon felt a little sorry. A creature that could lay such a large egg must be very strong. Eating it should have converted a lot of energy.
Clang!
The tail spikes, wreathed in abyssal demonic energy, shot out like demonic spears, striking the stone eggs and exploding into a shower of sparks. The recoil force even made the Black Armored Earth Dragon's tail tremble.
"So hard!" The black-armored earth dragon shook its tail, abandoning its idea of breaking it to see what was inside.
The Black Armored Earth Dragon thought for a moment and said, "Roar! Serus, have a few of your men carry this egg back. It's useless, but it can still serve as a decoration."
"Hmm." The three-and-a-half-meter-tall minotaur exhaled a puff of hot air and responded in a muffled voice.
