Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

Wang Xian smiled slightly.

During his breakthrough, he also unexpectedly grasped a profound concept.

Meaning eternal.

Based on the power of stars, with eternity as its guiding principle.

Once unleashed, it allows one's power to be inexhaustible, makes opponents feel the pressure of stars, and subtly drags the battle into one's own rhythm.

"I thought it would take ten days to break through, but I didn't expect it to only take three and a half days."

Wang Xian muttered to herself:

"And there was an unexpected bonus... Not bad, not bad."

With the strength to condense intent, plus the blessing of the Eternal Intent, the Rookie King Competition is well-founded.

He checked the time; there were still more than twenty days left.

Not urgent.

He sat down cross-legged again and began to stabilize his state of mind.

At the same time, continue to hone that eternal spirit.

I will strive to comprehend the profound meaning of this artistic conception before the competition begins.

At that time, we'll give those arrogant opponents a big surprise.

Fifteen days passed by silently, like a long dream.

Wang Xian slowly opened her eyes.

The supply of stellar energy to the top-tier training room has ceased, and the surrounding star projections are gradually dimming.

However, the spiritual energy within him continued to surge like a galaxy, inexhaustible and ever-flowing.

In these fifteen days, he completely solidified his first-level Condensation Realm.

The thirty-six acupoints have been fully opened, forming a perfect cycle. As spiritual energy flows through the body, it carries a subtle, eternal charm.

That was the meaning of eternity that he had come to understand.

He has already grasped the basic essence of this concept.

He raised his hand, and a ball of silvery-white light appeared in his palm. The light was not dazzling, but it gave people a sense of profound vastness, as if it contained an endless starry sky.

This is the embodiment of eternity.

Once unleashed, his power will not be depleted for a certain period of time. Any attacks from his opponents that land on it will be continuously worn down by its eternal aura, eventually turning into nothingness.

Those whose cultivation level is lower than his will feel a kind of pressure from the depths of their soul when facing this artistic conception, as if they are facing an ancient and eternal star, and their combat power will be greatly reduced.

Wang Xian withdrew the light and stood up.

He had already used up the allotted time for the top-tier training room and had no intention of renewing it.

The fifteen-day retreat has yielded results far exceeding expectations.

Just as he was about to leave, the smart bracelet on his wrist suddenly vibrated.

A communication request.

Wang Xian glanced at the caller ID—Ye Chuan.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Judging by the time, Ye Chuan should have finished collecting information about Long Qingyu by now.

He connected the communication.

A beam of light was projected from the bracelet, condensing into a phantom image in the air.

Ye Chuan's enthusiastic face appeared before Wang Xian.

"Holy crap! Wang Xian! You finally answered the call!"

Ye Chuan's phantom image waved its arms exaggeratedly:

"Where have you been for the past fifteen days? I've looked for you several times and couldn't find you!"

Wang Xian smiled faintly: "Secluded cultivation. What is it?"

Ye Chuan chuckled and winked:

"What else could it be? The investigation into Long Qingyu you asked me to do, I've got it all figured out!"

He cleared his throat and began his report:

"Long Qingyu, male, nineteen years old, the second son of Long Xiaotian, the head of the Long family, and one of the core figures of the current generation of the Long family."

"He started cultivating at the age of six, awakened his S-level talent at the age of eight, contracted his first alien beast at the age of ten, contracted his first dragon beast at the age of twelve, entered the peak of the Transcendent Realm at the age of fourteen, broke through to the Condensation Realm at the age of seventeen, and is now said to have one foot in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm."

The middle stage of the Condensation Realm is equivalent to the fourth to sixth levels of the Condensation Realm.

As Ye Chuan spoke, he gave a thumbs-up: "Impressive, right? This resume would scare a ton of people!"

Wang Xian nodded expressionlessly.

Has one foot stepped into the mid-stage of the Condensing Intent Realm?

It's really good.

But it wasn't enough to move him.

Ye Chuan continued:

"As for honors, this guy is even more impressive. He won the championship of the Capital Youth Martial Arts Competition at the age of fifteen, the runner-up in the National Youth Elite Competition at the age of sixteen, and represented Great Xia in the International Youth Exchange Competition at the age of seventeen. It is said that his performance was outstanding."

"His current title is 'Dragon Rider Prince,' and he's quite famous among the younger generation in the capital."

Ye Chuan brought up the Long family again, saying:

"The Long family is a family of beast tamers; this is their traditional profession. They have a secret family technique that allows people to contract with exotic beasts and use them for their own purposes."

He paused, then explained:

"This secret technique is amazing. There are many kinds of exotic beasts that can be contracted, but the most amazing ones are dragon beasts with dragon blood."

"Dragon beasts are incredibly powerful and have great potential for growth, but they are few in number, and only members of the family head's lineage are qualified to form contracts with them."

"As the son of the family head, Long Qingyu naturally also has a dragon beast contract, and it's said that he has a pure-blooded dragon beast!"

Ye Chuan clicked his tongue twice:

"A pureblooded dragon beast! When it grows up, this thing can rival the strongest human!"

Wang Xian narrowed his eyes.

Pureblood dragon?

interesting.

Ye Chuan looked at him, then suddenly lowered his voice:

"Oh, right, there's another piece of news—Long Qingyu has also signed up for this year's Rookie King Competition."

"Moreover, he is one of the championship seeds."

Wang Xian's lips curled up slightly.

Are you participating too...?

That's good.

That way, he won't have to make a special trip to find it.

He looked at Ye Chuan and asked:

"A champion seed? That means there are others?"

Ye Chuan nodded, then suddenly sighed:

"There are so many geniuses in this year's class!"

He held up one finger:

Do you know how many championship seeds there are this year?

Wang Xian remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

Ye Chuan extended two fingers, then opened his palm and gestured:

"Twelve!"

"Twelve championship seeded players! Can you believe it?!"

Wang Xian was stunned for a moment.

Twelve?

This number was indeed beyond his expectations.

Ye Chuan began counting on his fingers:

"Long Qingyu is one. And most of the extraordinary individuals we saw at the freshman orientation ceremony are like that."

"That monk, whose Dharma name is 'Wuxiang,' is said to be a direct disciple of an ancient temple. He cultivates the top Buddhist techniques and his strength is unfathomable."

"That Taoist priest is named Zhang Xuling. He is a true disciple of Longhu Mountain and has extremely high attainments in talismans. In addition, I heard that he is also involved in formations, and his attainments are no less than those in talismans."

"That ten-year-old prodigy is named Su Xingye. Don't let his young age fool you; he's a true genius. It's said that he has already grasped a special realm of understanding, making his fighting style incredibly unpredictable."

"That ferocious beast-like youth with chains binding him is named Li Cangyun. The ferocious beast sealed within him is said to be of the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast. Once unsealed, his strength will surge. However, he usually suppresses that power, so he doesn't show it off."

"The girl carrying the giant sword is named Luo Qingli, a genius that the Northwest Sword Sect has only seen once in a thousand years. It is said that she has comprehended the sword intent, and it is the extremely powerful 'Breaking Army Sword Intent'."

"That seemingly ordinary young man, all I know is that he is elusive, his origins and abilities are unknown, but to become a champion seed, he must be extraordinary."
