I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 592 Grandmaster? I'm not. [8k views, requesting monthly votes]

The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Lunar New Year's Eve, a traditional festival in China.

There were quite a few more people returning from outside that day, and you could even see quite a few young people.

The streets were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and many houses had brand-new Spring Festival couplets and the character "福" (good fortune) pasted on their doors.

The sounds of cheerful laughter and the occasional popping of firecrackers could be heard from the street.

The air was filled with the aroma of New Year's Eve dinner, mixed with a faint smell of gunpowder, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

As Xia Yuan walked down the street, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips as he watched the crowds coming and going.

Since returning to Panlong Town, he hadn't experienced such a lively atmosphere in a long time.

Of course, it can't compare to the bustling scene of twenty years ago.

The extraordinary era has brought opportunities and hope to countless people.

Countless people rushed outwards, even to beyond Earth.

Only a few people have the time to come back to this small town.

Behind.

Looking at Uncle Xia, who resembled a friendly young man next door, Ding Yan's eyes were full of curiosity.

In his understanding, grandmasters are usually very busy.

He had previously met Master Miao Danqiu at school, but he heard that she only stayed at the school for one day on the day of the opening ceremony before immediately going to Yuexing.

Although a Grandmaster-level expert has a lifespan of two hundred years, it is not necessarily possible for them to break through to the level of a Great Grandmaster within two hundred years.

Therefore, everyone is making the most of their time to cultivate themselves.

There are very few grandmaster-level experts as leisurely as Uncle Xia.

Doesn't Uncle Xia need to earn cultivation resources?

Or did he realize he couldn't break through to the level of Grandmaster, so he gave up cultivation and settled down to enjoy life?
Just then, Xia Yuan's voice rang in my ears.

"Let's go, let's visit the next old friend!"

An old friend?

Ding Yan was taken aback.

Could Xia Shu's old friend also be a Grandmaster-level expert?
However, he didn't ask any questions and quickly followed after them.

A moment later, the two walked through the bustling streets and turned into a quiet alley.

At the end of the alley, a courtyard covered with ivy stands quietly.

At that moment, a car was parked at the entrance, and three figures got out of the car.

Clearly, the group had just returned from outside.

"Yaoyao, I already told you you don't need to come back with me. Your most important thing right now is to cultivate!"

Hearing the old man's nagging, the young girl spoke in a coquettish tone.

"Dad, there's nothing much going on at the academy right now, so it'll be fine for me to come back for a few days."

"Besides, I only have these few days a year when I have time, so naturally I want to spend more time with you and Mom!"

"You kid!"

The old man smiled helplessly and said nothing more.

"But Dad, you're really something, you always have to come back for Chinese New Year!"

"Why don't I take you and Mom to Xinyuan City for a stroll during this time?"

"Forget it, one trip to Xinyuan City is enough. There's no need to go there often."

"And I'm not quite used to living in that place."

This is true.

Although the living environment in Xinyuan City is very good, the gravity is still very different from that on Earth.

It's really not easy for ordinary people to adapt to.

Last time he went there, it took him several days to barely get used to it.

"Yaoyao, how's the thing I asked you to inquire about going?"

The girl shook her head helplessly.

“Dad, Yuanzu has indeed returned, but it’s not someone I can see.”

“I asked about the dean of our Lingxiao Academy before, but even the dean has never met me.”

"That's it!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in the old man's eyes.

He was thrilled when he heard that Xia Yuan was coming back.

I thought I would see him soon.

But now, several months have passed since the news of Xia Yuan's return broke, and he still hasn't been able to see him.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Zhang Yao couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, when she first learned from her father that his friend was actually the legendary ancestor, she didn't believe it at all.

But when she later took the token to the Origin Academy, she actually got a place there.

This made her feel like she was dreaming.

You have to understand, that's the Origin Academy!
Anyone who gets in is a top genius.
Yet, he gained entry to the Origin Academy with just a token.

And apart from the Origin Ancestor, no one else is qualified to allow someone to directly enter the Origin Academy.

Even Dean Li Qingxuan needs the approval of several other high-ranking officials to specially recruit someone into the Origin Academy.

Moreover, that person must have some special skill.

For example, Long Youzhu back then.

But someone like her doesn't qualify for special admission at all.

With her talent, not to mention the Origin Academy, any one of the three extraordinary academies would be no worse than her.

Therefore, even after sixteen years of cultivation, she is only at the third level of the Transcendent Realm.

It's important to know that the cultivation resources and teaching staff that Origin Academy receives far surpass those of any other place.

It took sixteen years to cultivate to the third level of the Transcendent Realm, which is already incredibly slow!
But if she hadn't entered the Origin Academy, Zhang Yao wouldn't have had the chance to become a Transcendent Level 3 Extraordinary, let alone become an Extraordinary.

The keepsake Xia Yuan left behind completely changed her life.

Actually, if this token were kept for a future Zhang family member with even greater talent, its effects would be far greater.

As for Zhang Yao, she will probably only reach the Unity Realm at most in this lifetime.

Giving her this opportunity to enter the Origin Academy is undoubtedly a waste!

However, Zhang Changsheng only has this one daughter.

Moreover, his daughter desperately wanted to become a superhuman, so naturally he wouldn't say anything.

For him, fulfilling his daughter's dream was enough!

Moreover, the current result isn't bad.

The daughter has become a tutor at Lingxiao Academy, a position that remains unattainable for countless people.

"Dad, don't overthink it!"

Zhang Yao stepped forward and took Zhang Changsheng's arm to comfort him:
“A figure like the Origin Ancestor must have many things to deal with.”

However, Zhang Yao suddenly froze at this point.

Two people had appeared in the distance, seemingly out of nowhere.

"What's wrong Yaoyao?"

Noticing his daughter's unusual behavior, Zhang Changsheng turned around in confusion.

next moment.

The bag in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Old Zhang, you're getting old too!"

As Xia Yuan approached the two, he let out a slow sigh.

Zhang Changsheng now has a full head of white hair, and he looks completely different from when the two first met more than 20 years ago.

If he had chosen to become a superhuman back then, he would at least have had a chance of becoming a naturally gifted being, if not awakened.

Unfortunately, he gave this opportunity to his daughter.

……

"source"

Upon seeing Xia Yuan, Zhang Yao quickly prepared to bow.

However, before he could finish speaking, Xia Yuan interrupted him with a smile.

"Just call me Brother Yuan as before, or if you're not used to it, you can call me Uncle Xia."

Zhang Yao was startled when she heard Yuan Zu tell her to call the other party Brother Yuan.

Fortunately, Xia Yuan added a sentence afterward, which made Zhang Yao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Xia!"

However, being able to call Yuanzu "Uncle Xia" is something that countless people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Seeing his daughter's change of heart, Zhang Changsheng couldn't help but tease her.

"You silly girl, you wouldn't call me Uncle Xia at first, but why are you agreeing so readily now?" Zhang Yao looked embarrassed upon hearing this.

At first, she was naive and didn't know Xia Yuan's identity.

But now that she understands, she naturally doesn't dare to act the same way as before.

Moreover, to be frank, she and Xia Yuan were not actually very familiar with each other; they had only met once or twice twenty years ago.

Ding Yan kept observing the group of people beside him.

The person that Uncle Xia called the third brother was clearly just an ordinary person.

The old woman beside him was the same.

However, he was certain that the girl, who looked to be about his age, was an extraordinary being, even though he didn't know her strength.

And their strength is definitely not weak.

In fact, it's quite easy to distinguish between ordinary people and extraordinary individuals.

If they don't take action, those in the Body Tempering Realm might be no different from ordinary people.

However, once one reaches the Innate Realm, a great change will occur.

Whether it's skin or temperament, they will be significantly different from ordinary people.

The girl in front of me is at least a transcendent being at the Innate Realm.

However, he did not expect that Xia Shu's old friend was not this superhuman.

It was the old man with gray hair.

Judging from this, the girl shouldn't be too old.

Therefore, he couldn't be sure whether the other party was a Xiantian (innate) or a Grandmaster-level expert.

Just as he was thinking, Xia Yuan's voice came from beside him again.

"Third stage of Transcendent Realm. It seems your father was right to let you embark on the path of the extraordinary."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"Uncle Xia, please stop making fun of me!"

She couldn't possibly deserve Xia Yuan's praise.

It's important to know that she entered the Origin Academy in the fourth year of the Extraordinary Era.

Those who were in the same year as her back then are now at least at the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm!

Two of them had even reached the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm.

There is no one else in the Origin Academy who cultivates as slowly as she does.

"Everyone has their own path to walk; there's no need to compare yourself to others!"

Xia Yuan smiled and shook his head.

In fact, he really thought that Zhang Yao's ability to cultivate to the third level of the Transcendent Realm was already quite good!

After all, Zhang Yao's qualifications are indeed limited.

The fact that she was able to reach the third level of the Transcendent Realm in sixteen years shows that she made efforts that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

"I heard you're now a tutor at Lingxiao Academy. You must not have encountered any problems, right?"

"No, thank you for your concern, Uncle Xia."

Third stage of mortal transformation?

Instructor at Lingxiao Academy?

Ding Yan's eyes widened immediately.

This kind of expert is comparable to Grandmaster Miao Danqiu, who graduated from their school!

But the other party was also so respectful to Uncle Xia?
He originally thought that Uncle Xia was just an ordinary grandmaster.

But now it seems that's clearly not the case.

To be respected by such a powerful figure, one is very likely a top-tier grandmaster or even a great grandmaster!
Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited.

At this moment, the group of people who were talking also reached out to Ding Yan, who was standing next to Xia Yuan.

Zhang Changsheng asked curiously:

"Who is this?"

"He's a junior of mine; his grandfather asked me to teach him for a while!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yao looked at Ding Yan with a hint of envy.

Even a Grandmaster might not have the opportunity to be personally taught by the Source Ancestor.

It's unbelievable that someone who isn't even a teenager could have such an opportunity.

"Hello, Grandpa Zhang!"

Ding Yan greeted her politely, then looked at Zhang Yao.

"Greetings, Master Zhang!"

Although he and the other party both called Xia Yuan "Uncle," he wouldn't act arrogantly because of that.

After all, the other party was a genuine Transcendent Realm expert, far beyond his reach.

"Since you are Uncle Xia's junior, please call me Sister Yao!"

Zhang Yao smiled.

Since this boy was able to be taught by the Source Ancestor, she naturally hoped to build a good relationship with him.

Even if the other party is just an ordinary person.

"Don't stand there, come in and sit down!"

Seeing that the group had finished talking, Zhang Changsheng's wife invited them into the house.

"No need, I just bought these groceries, I'm going to cook dinner here tonight!"

"If you're free tomorrow, you can come over and have dinner together."

"Let's invite Lao Du along then."

Seeing Xia Yuan say this, Zhang Changsheng did not try to stop him.

"Alright, I'll ask Du Yu to come find you tomorrow."

"It's been a long time since I've seen him!"

Xia Yuan smiled and nodded, then took Ding Yan and turned to leave the alley.

After the two left, Zhang Yao couldn't help but say something.

"Dad, did you save the solar system in your past life? You were lucky enough to meet the Origin Ancestor!"

Hearing his daughter's words, Zhang Changsheng couldn't help but laugh and scold:
"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"

However, as he gazed in the direction Xia Yuan had left, a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

"When I first met you, Uncle Xia, he was just a young man who had just begun to create his own laws!"

"Back then, I simply didn't believe that there could be extraordinary beings in the world!"

Who could have imagined that he would later become the progenitor who changed the entire world?

……

the other side.

Ding Yan followed behind Xia Yuan, his mind filled with more and more questions.

"Uncle Xia, why does that Grandmaster Zhang show you so much respect?"

After a moment, he finally couldn't help but ask.

Xia Yuan smiled:
"Because I am an old friend of her father."

"But her father was just an ordinary person! And she was a Grandmaster in the Transcendent Realm!"

At this point, Ding Yan mustered his courage and asked:
"Are you already a Grandmaster?"

"Grandmaster? I'm not!"

"That's a top-tier grandmaster?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuan smiled but offered no further explanation.

Ding Yan took Xia Yuan's silence as tacit agreement.

Is he really a top-tier grandmaster?
Based on their conversation just now, and the fact that Uncle Xia became a grandmaster a long time ago, we can see that...

Uncle Xia's status is very likely very high.

It might even be related to the ancestor.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to become a superhuman so early on.

Ignoring the little guy's thoughts, Xia Yuan continued walking forward.

He was not deliberately hiding it.

If this little guy is able to go to the Origin Academy in the future, he will naturally find out.

As for Zhang Yao...

Judging from her experiences over the years, she certainly hasn't told anyone about her relationship with herself.

"Let's go back and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner!"

As the two walked, the festive atmosphere on the street grew stronger.

The aroma of New Year's Eve dinner would waft out from time to time.

At the end of the road, the New Year's bells rang softly.
