I possess boundless talent; even geniuses are no match for me.

......

"Chen Yu, let's go and have a word with the principal!" Hao Xi and Zhao Tianyi didn't leave, but chose to stay where they were, just like Chen Yu.

They just couldn't understand why Chen Yu, as the undisputed newcomer king of Huaying Martial Arts University, didn't get a mentor's choice.

"Thank you, but you should go back first."

Seeing their anxious expressions, Chen Yu was quite moved, but he still tried to persuade them.

"We're all from Jiangcheng..." Hao Xi was displeased when she heard this.

But just as she was about to insist, Zhao Tianyi suddenly tugged at her and shook his head slightly:

"Let's leave. The school will definitely give Chen Yu an explanation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu blinked.

After being reminded, Hao Xi suddenly realized what was happening and stopped being stubborn.

After everyone left, only Chen Yu, a freshman from Huaying, remained in the auditorium.

"Principal, can you tell us now?" Chen Yu asked, looking up.

Mo Peifeng took a step forward, his figure appearing as if he had teleported, and went straight from the second floor of the Great Hall to Chen Yu's side.

Have you heard of the Red River Blade Madman?

Chen Yu shook his head.

He knew about the Red River, which was the star system where the Crimson Star was located, but who was Dao Kuang?

"Looks like he didn't tell you much," Mo Peifeng chuckled. "Change the name, and you should know who Fang Xiong is, right?"

Lao Fang!

Upon hearing Fang Xiong's name, Chen Yu instantly understood who the Red River Saber Madman was.

"Red River Blade Madman... Old Fang actually has such a domineering title?" Chen Yu found it hard to believe.

Fang Xiong, who usually spends his days idly strolling around like an old man, is somehow associated with the title "Knife Maniac."

"The Red River Blade Madman is Fang Xiong. This is the name he earned in the Demon Mountain Starfield."

"Back then, even the Crimson Star was known to the major powers of the Demon Mountain Star Region because of his existence."

Mo Peifeng sighed, his tone filled with endless emotion, as if he had returned to the past.

"Principal, what exactly are you trying to tell me?" Chen Yu asked again.

Mo Peifeng wasn't annoyed by the interruption: "Simply put, Fang Xiong offended someone he couldn't afford to offend in the Demon Mountain Star Region."

"Now, Crimson Star is Fang Xiong's prison, and you... have a close relationship with him. You two are very similar in many ways."

"Many people are currently speculating that you are Fang Xiong's student, and that he has placed all his hopes on you, wanting you to help him break free from this cage."

"..." Chen Yu was speechless. He understood that he had been implicated by Lao Fang.

However, he himself knew best that Fang Xiong didn't actually expect him to do anything, nor did he specifically train him to do anything.

But there is no doubt that Fang Xiong did help him a lot.

Putting everything else aside, his talent as a "Grandmaster of Swordsmanship" was the first factor in his rise to prominence.

There's also the limit-breaking technique "Blood Battle Nine Transformations," a treasure that's enough to shake the entire Crimson Star.

Therefore, Chen Yu wouldn't have severed ties with Lao Fang at lightning speed.

Moreover, what he said doesn't count at all; whether others believe he has a relationship with Lao Fang is the key point of this issue.

"Sometimes being talented isn't necessarily a good thing," Mo Peifeng explained.

"Actually, if your talent is average, no one cares whether you are Fang Xiong's student or not."

"But your talent is just too good, so good that you have the potential to leave Crimson Star and Crescent Moon and enter the Demon Mountain Starfield."

"If Fang Xiong's enemies find out about your existence, they will definitely take their anger out on you, and as your mentor, you will naturally be implicated as well."

"A powerful force from the Demon Mountain Star Region, even with just a thought, could potentially trigger a disaster for Crimson Star."

"Now, Crimson Star has become Fang Xiong's prison, and he has no hope of rising again."

"So... do you understand?"

Chen Yu remained silent.

He hadn't expected that Lao Fang's existence would cause so many consequences and attract so much attention.

He still underestimated Fang Xiong's martial arts talent.

Using a habitable planet as a prison for a person—that's quite a bold move.

"Principal, I understand what you're saying. Don't worry, I won't hold a grudge against Hua Ying because of this," Chen Yu said with a nonchalant smile.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a mentor; it won't make much difference to him.

As for the New Moon network represented by the gold medal mentors, he was even more dismissive of it.

The new moon was merely a stepping stone for him to reach the stars; his future could not be confined to the mere new moon.

Therefore... he was destined to rely solely on himself to navigate the starry sky.

"It's good that you understand." Mo Peifeng breathed a sigh of relief, then added, "As for the mentor issue, you don't need to worry."

"Huaying has granted you access. Although you don't have a tutor, you can participate in all of their courses on your own, and no one will stop you."

"This... is Huaying Wuhan University's compensation to you."

"Okay, thank you very much, Principal!" Chen Yu smiled and accepted the compensation.

Being able to choose courses from all the instructors is a good thing.

Except for the lack of connections behind a mentor, it's as if everyone is his mentor.

"You're welcome, it's what Huaying Martial Arts University should do." Mo Peifeng clapped his hands. "Alright, that's about enough of the explanation."

"I won't waste your time. Focus on your cultivation, and I hope to see your name among the spots for going to the New Moon in the future."

After saying that, Mo Peifeng prepared to leave.

He has said what he needed to say, and what happens afterward is no longer in his control.

However, Chen Yu's next words made him stop in his tracks.

"Principal, I must correct one mistake in what you said earlier," Chen Yu said with a soft laugh.

"Oh? Where do you think I said something wrong?" Mo Peifeng turned around and asked with interest.

"You say I'm a lot like Fang Xiong? That's completely wrong." Chen Yu's tone was calm, but his confidence was unparalleled.

"My martial arts talent is even greater than Fang Xiong's!"

"Therefore, the path that Fang Xiong couldn't take, I might be able to take!"

After saying that, Chen Yu ignored Principal Mo Peifeng's somewhat surprised expression and quickly left.

"It really doesn't look like him." Mo Peifeng watched Chen Yu's departing figure, the surprise on his face slowly disappearing, and he regained his composure.

"You're even more arrogant than him, I don't know if that's a good thing."

The reason why Chihuangxing was implicated because of Fang Xiong is because Fang Xiong failed.

If Fang Xiong succeeds, Chihuang Star will also develop and rise rapidly because of Fang Xiong's existence.

It's just that the Crimson Star lost the last bet, which led to the appearance of the new moon.

This is a double-edged sword.

The existence of a martial arts master can sometimes influence the status of an entire star system or even a star field within the human race.

In this world where great power originates from oneself, there are countless examples of this.
