Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 151 The Stolen Opportunity

"Why?" Qiu Ci asked.

“Your Excellency is unaware of this,” Juanshan sighed. “There are barriers between the states, barriers that are indestructible and impossible for human beings to break through. Back then, only the people of Blue Star possessed such great power to travel freely between the states. However, since the people of Blue Star left, there has been no inter-state travel for tens of thousands of years.”

Moreover, the more resource-rich a continent is, the stronger the barriers between it and other continents, making it extremely difficult to break through. If he were only going to Yuzhou, it might be possible for him to try his best in his prime, but in Mianzhou, let alone breaking through the barriers, he probably wouldn't even be able to find where the barriers are.

Qiu Ci suddenly thought of the temporary access cards at the training center. They could even teleport people from Yuzhou in, which proved that crossing states was not a problem for Blue Star.

"Dog System, does the base have any information about interstate technology in its database?" she asked directly.

"Master, no." The little ball of light shook.

"How is that possible?" Qiu Ci was somewhat incredulous. "Don't breeding farms allow interstate teleportation? The base's database doesn't even have interstate teleportation technology!"

[Really, there isn't any, Master.] The little ball of light shook again. [It's probably because this technology is too easy to implement, has no storage value, and isn't worth the base spending memory on, so there's no data stored on it.]

"What do you mean?" How come it has no value?

【Master, to give you an example, do you think Earth's nuclear weapons manufacturing database would contain the manufacturing methods for thermos cups?】

"..." That makes a lot of sense.

Okay, it's just that the thermos isn't compatible!
The base's database doesn't have information on interstate travel because interstate travel is too technically difficult for Earth; it's something anyone can do. But how is she, a cripple, supposed to get there?

and many more!

If no one except Earth can easily cross continents, then how did the previous insect system come to the Lanru Continent?
They have methods that allow them to cross state lines!

"Juanshan, I'm going to see Dean Yu." With that thought, she immediately left Lan Academy and went to Dean Yu Xuan's place.

To Qiu Ci's surprise, in just two days, the dean had already gotten a clear understanding of the insect system from Di Zifan.

Without the system's support, Di Zifan's cultivation dissipated, and he returned to being an ordinary person. His primordial spirit even suffered irreversible damage, and he would probably be a sickly person for the rest of his life. But this was already the best outcome. If he had been separated from that system any later, he would probably have been completely destroyed.

Having lost his cultivation, he naturally couldn't withstand the interrogation of the dean and the pavilion masters, and honestly confessed everything.

However, he did not know the origin of the system. He only said that one day, the voice appeared in his mind. The system told him to find someone with great fortune, seize their fortune, and use it to improve his cultivation. That's how he gained his cultivation.

The specific methods of implementation include gaining the target's favor, seizing the other party's opportunities in advance, or suppressing the opponent, etc.

It's obvious that he was trying to win over Feng Ting, while he was trying to suppress and sabotage Jing, who is socially awkward.

“The matter of destiny has always been elusive and uncertain. We don’t know if it can truly be plundered. However, these two items…” Dean Yu took out two boxes and handed them to her, saying, “These are the opportunities that Di Zifan mentioned, the opportunities that can be snatched from people with destiny.”

Qiu Ci took it and opened it, finding a stone inside and a small bottle inside.

“We’ve examined it all. This bottle contains a drop of essence blood, and its power is astonishing. It seems to be the essence blood of some ancient divine beast,” Dean Yu explained. “As for this stone, we’ve looked at it for a long time but haven’t seen anything special about it.”

Qiu Ci directly opened the bottle and didn't smell any blood. Instead, a faint fragrance wafted out, carrying a hint of herbal scent. The image of a mythical beast immediately flashed into her mind. "This is... the essence blood of the Kui Niu." "The Kui Niu?" The dean was somewhat surprised that she could identify it. "It really is an ancient mythical beast, but this stuff has no use for humans. Could it be used to enhance spirit beasts?" But she had never heard of any spirit beast possessing the bloodline of the Kui Niu.

“It’s useful!” Qiu Ci didn’t hide anything and said directly, “Feng Ting has the bloodline of the Kui Niu.”

"Ah? Ah!" The dean was somewhat surprised that someone could have the bloodline of a divine beast. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it might be due to some kind of special physique. He immediately understood and said, "So this essence blood should have originally been the opportunity of that student named Feng Ting."

"It should be right." Qiu Ci nodded. Feng Ting's strength should increase greatly after merging with this drop of essence blood. She then looked at the stone in another box. This stone should be the opportunity she seized from the socially awkward Jing.

But after examining it closely for a while, she couldn't see anything different; it just looked like an ordinary stone.

【Master, master, let me scan you!】

The little ball of light popped out and eagerly raised its hand. The next moment, it shot out a beam of light that swept across the stone. Sure enough, the next moment, a golden dragon-shaped mark emerged from the stone.

This is……

She gripped the stone tightly and crushed it.

Sudden.

A dragon's roar echoed within the hall.

A huge golden dragon shadow flew out from the rubble, circled the hall, and then, as if sensing a familiar aura, landed in Qiu Ci's direction and circled around her.

"This is... a dragon soul!" a pavilion master exclaimed. There are no dragons on the Lanru Continent; they are only creatures that exist in legends. Unexpectedly, they have seen an entire dragon soul with their own eyes.

The so-called dragon soul is not the soul of a dragon, but rather the embodiment of the bloodline power of the dragon race before its demise, containing a portion of the dragon race's inherited power.

Qiu Ci reached out to touch the dragon's head, but to his surprise, the dragon soul had no physical form.

Perhaps because of an agreement between Blue Star and the Beastmen, the Dragon Soul was very close to her. It even nudged its head towards her, trying to merge with her, but unfortunately, it failed.

Qiu Ci could only wave her hand and explain, "I am not one of your people. Go, find your true home."

The golden dragon phantom then retreated with regret, letting out another dragon roar before flying out of the main hall and heading towards the Sword Pavilion, presumably to find the socially awkward Jing Ronghe.

Jing, who is socially awkward, is actually a small green dragon. It should be very beneficial for him to merge with this dragon soul.

"Young friend Chu, these students you brought are all extraordinary!" The dean and the pavilion masters also noticed something and looked at her in surprise. One could fuse with a dragon soul, and another had the bloodline of an ancient divine beast. It seemed that those who played with geniuses were indeed geniuses themselves. They couldn't help but wonder what special qualities the other student possessed.

Zhen Yi was still guarding Jinghong's courtyard at this time...

Ah!

Hmm, why did he feel a chill down his spine?
