I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 593 Each on Their Own Path

The next day was Lunar New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Zhang Changsheng's family and Du Yu came to visit Xia Yuan.

Twenty years later, Du Yu is now in his sixties.

However, after not seeing each other for so long, he had become quite reserved.

Time will dilute everything.

Including feelings that were once familiar.

However, after a few drinks, that feeling of unfamiliarity faded somewhat.

The three chatted and laughed at the dinner table, seemingly rediscovering the feeling of dining together in their youth.

However, since they were all getting on in years, they inevitably felt nostalgic for the past.

From them, Xia Yuan also learned about the things that had happened to them in recent years.

First and foremost is Zhang Changsheng.

He retired five years ago, and after retiring, he went to Nanzhou under Zhang Yao's arrangement.

After all, Lingxiao Academy is located in the Southern Continent.

Zhang Changsheng and his companion's trip to Nanzhou would also make it convenient for Zhang Yao to visit them at any time.

Secondly, there is Du Yu.

After Zhang Changsheng retired, he took over Zhang Changsheng's job.

With the help of the original potion left behind by Xia Yuan, his son successfully entered Jiangcheng Extraordinary University in the fifth year of the Extraordinary Era.

At that time, the admission requirements for Jiangcheng Chaofan University were not considered high.

After using two bottles of the Origin Potion, passing the exam will not be difficult.

If it were today, I might not have been able to pass the exam!
After all, nowadays there are not only score requirements, but also very high requirements in martial arts.

Although Du Yu's son was admitted to Jiangcheng Extraordinary University, he only went to the secondary college and eventually graduated from Jiangcheng Extraordinary University in the eleventh year of the Extraordinary Era.

After graduation, he went to work as a martial arts teacher at a high school in Jiangcheng.

He has now become a level four martial artist, which is considered quite strong in that high school!
So I'm doing pretty well.

Furthermore, since the Second Human Development Conference reformed education, high school martial arts teachers can also earn contribution points.

A level 4 martial artist can earn five contribution points per year.

If things continue like this, he has a great chance of becoming an extraordinary being in the future.

However, according to Du Yu, his son did not intend to put much effort into his own life, but rather planned to leave more for future generations.

That's right, Du Yu's son married a female teacher from the same school six years ago.

She now has a five-year-old granddaughter and a three-year-old grandson.

After listening, Xia Yuan nodded slightly:
"That is indeed a practical idea."

Du Yu sighed.

“This child has been pragmatic since he was a child. He knows that his talents are limited, so he simply puts his hopes on the next generation.”

"That's good too. At least their generation is much stronger than ours, and they at least have the opportunity to come into contact with the path to the extraordinary."

Zhang Changsheng patted his old friend on the shoulder.

Xia Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with Du Yu's son's choice.

Given how well-developed martial arts are now, someone in their thirties who is still only a level four martial artist has almost no hope of successfully awakening their full potential in the future.

Instead of doing that, we should put all those resources into raising the next generation.

With the foundation laid by the two, the Du family might produce a grandmaster in the future.

However, by then, there will probably be many grandmasters!
They would never have achieved their current status.

Of course, that's only relative.

Even if there are tens of thousands of grandmasters decades later, they are still extremely rare compared to the nearly 10 billion people in the human population.

"Alright, that's enough about me!"

Du Yu shook his head, then looked at Xia Yuan and said:
Do you still remember that kid Li Zhengde?

"Of course I remember!"

Xia Yuan smiled and nodded.

Li Zhengde, of course, would not forget.

I learned this from the two people.

Li Zhengde was transferred to Jiangcheng as early as the sixth year of the Extraordinary Era.

He is now the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau.

At his age of less than fifty, there is still hope for him to go further in the future.

This surprised Xia Yuan a bit.

He never imagined that Li Zhengde, who always had a stern face and low emotional intelligence, could have achieved such success.

It seems that Li Zhengde has changed a lot over the years.

"Not only that, his son was admitted to Haicheng Chaofan University four years ago."

"Oh? Why didn't you go to Jiangcheng Extraordinary University?"

In Xia Yuan's view, if he could get into Shanghai Chaofan University, he should have no problem getting into Jiangcheng Chaofan University as well.

After all, the scores for the two schools are now similar, and the martial arts requirements are both for Level 2 martial artists.

"At that time, Haicheng Chaofan University had a better reputation than Jiangcheng Chaofan University, so I ended up going to Haicheng Chaofan University."

"I see!"

Among the five prestigious universities, apart from Kyoto University, the other four are not that different.

Choosing between Jiangcheng Chaofan University and Haicheng Chaofan University is actually quite similar.

Just then, Zhang Changsheng said with a smile:

"Hehe, I told him you were back last night."

"That kid is probably on his way back now."

The news was naturally delivered to Li Zhengde with Xia Yuan's consent.

Otherwise, Zhang Changsheng wouldn't have dared to act on his own.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared at the doorway.

Who else could it be but Li Zhengde? He was dressed in a sharp suit, his temples were already a little gray, and he looked like he had worked very hard over the years.

Xia Yuan could no longer see the spirited young man he once was on that face.

"Little Dezi, we didn't expect you to arrive so soon after we started talking about you!"

Seeing the figure standing at the door, Zhang Changsheng smiled and urged him on.

"What are you standing there for? Come in!"

Li Zhengde seemed to have just come to his senses.

Seeing Xia Yuan sitting in the main seat, he still looked dazed.

Xia Yuan smiled slightly:
"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Xia... Brother Xia."

Li Zhengde's voice was somewhat hoarse, and he managed to force a smile.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xia Yuan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"What's wrong? It's been twenty years, and we've become estranged?"

Li Zhengde gave a wry smile.

"It's not that we're strangers, it's just... a little unfamiliar."

Twenty years have passed, and Xia Yuan still looks the same as he did back then, while he has grown old!

Not to mention Xia Yuan's status, which makes him an unapproachable figure.

Zhang Changsheng tried to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, it's the New Year, don't make it so heavy."

"We've been waiting for you to eat!"

"it is good!"

Li Zhengde has changed a lot now; he is completely unrecognizable as the naive young man he once was.

Time really can change a lot of things.

……

Li Zhengde's arrival added another layer of liveliness to the New Year.

This is the first time in over a decade that they have all gathered together like this.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly harmonious.

The events of that year were repeatedly recounted by several people.

Among them, Huang Shang was the one who left the deepest impression on them!
According to Zhang Changsheng, even though Huang Shang's wife had been dead for more than 20 years, he would return almost every year to pay his respects to her.

Zhang Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Such a devoted young man, I've only ever seen one like him in all my years of life!"

"But I haven't added him since I moved to the Southern Continent!"

"However, his appearance hasn't changed much, so he probably became a superhuman a long time ago."

At this point, Zhang Changsheng looked at Xia Yuan.

"Did you know about this?"

Xia Yuan smiled and nodded.

Although he had never met Huang Shang, he had heard Huang Shang mention him when he chatted with Huang Jinzhe before.

With Huang Jinzhe's help, Huang Shang became a superhuman in the third year of the Extraordinary Era.

Moreover, this guy successfully awakened in just over three years.

Now, he has even cultivated to the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Despite the fact that Huang Jinzhe provided him with a lot of resources, his ability to cultivate to the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm in sixteen years is already quite remarkable!
Of course, they can't compare to the top geniuses of Origin Academy.

"He's really become a grandmaster! That kid is truly remarkable!"

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, the others all sighed with admiration.

Zhang Yao, who had remained silent the whole time, also looked surprised.

She had naturally heard of Huang Shang, who now worked in the Judgment Hall.

Since he joined the Hall of Judgments, he has dealt with quite a few people.

Especially during the rebellion, he traveled all over Earth and captured many of the rebellious Grandmasters.

His reputation is now quite high, and he is known to outsiders as the Iron-Faced Judge.

It is said that he is about to take over the position of deacon in the Hall of Judgments.

Zhang Yao never imagined that this person was actually Huang Shang, the same person her father had mentioned to her before.

She initially thought it was just a case of having the same name.

……

Time passes slowly.

Before we knew it, it was afternoon.

Zhang Changsheng and the other two had all collapsed onto the table.

Xia Yuan looked at his three old friends who were drunk and passed out on the table, and a warm smile appeared on his lips.

He waved his hand gently, and three soft whirlwinds lifted their bodies and carried them smoothly to the beds in the guest room.

"Let them get a good night's sleep."

After settling everyone in, Xia Yuan turned to Zhang Yao and said:
"If you have nothing to do in the next few days, you can also cultivate with me for a while."

"Let me give you a little pointer!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yao's eyes immediately lit up.

To receive guidance from the Origin Ancestor is an immense opportunity for anyone.

Perhaps she can use this opportunity to break through to the mid-stage of Dark Force in martial arts.

In this way, she is confident that she can break through to the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm within two years.

"But it'll only be a few days. How much you can grasp depends on yourself!"

"Thank you, Uncle Xia!"
