955 What If He Leaves?
Zhou Tongzheng stood behind Lin Mingdao’s desk and rubbed his hands nervously.
“Dean, look…”
Lin Mingdao put down the paper report that Zhou Tongzheng had just handed over and looked up at him with a slight frown.
“To be honest, I don’t know what the problem is.”
“No problem?” Zhou Tongzheng could not help but raise his voice before immediately reacting. He hurriedly lowered his voice again and smiled bitterly, “Dean, is there no problem? Look, according to the speed at which Chu Nan obtains points, he might be able to break through 100,000 points in two days and exchange for the Arhat Overlord Golden Body!”
“Then? Is there a problem?” Lin Mingdao asked, “He has enough authority and points. Of course, he can exchange for the martial techniques he’s willing to exchange. This is the rule of the Martial Arts Branch’s martial arts database. What’s the problem?”
The bitter smile on Zhou Tongzheng’s face deepened.
“This… Dean… you have to know that less than two months have passed since he returned to the academy, but his temporary S-rank student authority is still six months away! I suspect that… after eight months, he might be able to exchange for all the S-rank martial techniques in the martial arts database!”
“Oh? What’s wrong with that?” Lin Mingdao still did not understand and asked, “If he really has the ability, let him exchange.”
“How can that do?!” Zhou Tongzheng immediately retorted loudly, “There are only six S-rank martial techniques in the martial arts database of our Martial Arts Branch. If he exchanges them all, what will the other students think?”
“What do you mean? I don’t understand what you mean.” Lin Mingdao shook his head and frowned again, “Could it be that the rules of the Martial Arts Branch are that only one student can exchange for each martial technique?”
“No, no, of course not. It’s just… it’s just…” Zhou Tongzheng could not help but scratch his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing him like this, Lin Mingdao’s expression became serious.
“Dean Zhou, let me remind you that the rules of the Martial Arts Branch were set by you yourself. Be it me or the academy, we have no reason to interfere. Now that you’ve decided to deal with Chu Nan according to the rules of the branch, could it be that you want to break this rule yourself?”
Hearing the trace of anger in Lin Mingdao’s tone, Zhou Tongzheng was immediately shocked.
He hurriedly waved his hand in denial.
“No, Dean, the branch naturally doesn’t mean that. This report is only my personal concern.”
“Oh? What are you worried about?” Lin Mingdao asked again.
“This… my concern is… look, Chu Nan’s talent has already been fully confirmed and has even far exceeded our expectations. We originally thought that giving him eight months was already very short and that he might not be able to accumulate enough points to exchange for an S-rank cultivation method like the Arhat Overlord Golden Body that he had always wanted. For this, we even specially prepared some student activities that could obtain additional points as a reward to help him obtain points faster when necessary. However, we didn’t expect…”
“You didn’t expect this kid’s ability to be much stronger than you imagine. He can even accumulate so many points in less than two months?” Lin Mingdao asked in amusement.
“Yes…” Zhou Tongzheng nodded dejectedly and admitted, “No one expected Chu Nan’s research ability in martial techniques to be so strong. In less than two months, he has modified 17 D-rank martial techniques that have been recorded in the martial arts database, 98 C-rank martial techniques, 31 B-rank martial techniques, and even… even as many as 7 A-rank martial techniques! Just yesterday, he exchanged for another A-rank martial technique. If he successfully modifies this A-rank martial technique and obtains recognition of the martial arts database, he will obtain another 8,000 points as a reward. Coupled with his current 95,712 points, it’s enough to exchange for the Arhat Overlord Golden Body.”
“Hmm… he can actually modify so many martial techniques in less than two months. This kid’s talent is indeed a little too terrifying…” Lin Mingdao could not help but nod lightly.
“Therefore, Dean, if this continues, he can exchange for the remaining S-rank cultivation methods in half a year. He might even be able to exchange for all the A-rank martial techniques!”
“Then?” Lin Mingdao looked at him, “Therefore, after talking for a long time, I still don’t understand what you’re worried about. Even if he exchanges for all the martial techniques in the martial arts database, that’s his ability and not a mistake. Moreover, compared to him exchanging for so many martial techniques, he can successfully modify so many martial techniques, causing them to be stronger than the previous ones. Isn’t this a good thing for the martial arts database and the entire Martial Arts Branch?”
“No, Dean, I’m not worried about this.” Zhou Tongzheng shook his head with a bitter expression, “I’m worried about Chu Nan.”
“What are you worried about?” Lin Mingdao was still puzzled, “Could it be that you’re worried that he has learned too many martial techniques and can’t handle them? Or is he in danger of going berserk?”
“No, I’m not worried about this. This kid’s talent is terrifyingly strong. I can’t see any problem with him in this aspect at all. What I’m worried about is… after he exchanges for all the S-rank martial techniques and even A-rank martial techniques in the martial arts database, the martial arts database will no longer be attractive to him. The entire Martial Arts Branch will also not be attractive to him. He…”
At this point, Zhou Tongzheng paused for a moment before saying the rest with great difficulty.
“I’m worried that… he… might leave the school…”
“Leave?”
Lin Mingdao was stunned and was very surprised that Zhou Tongzheng said this.
He frowned and thought seriously. He suddenly discovered that Zhou Tongzheng’s concern was really not unreasonable.
That’s right, to most of the young martial artists of the Earth Federation, the reason why the Star Cloud Academy’s Martial Arts Branch could attract people to register for studies was because they could learn stronger martial techniques here and increase their strength.
This was very important to many young martial artists who were not from a martial arts family and did not have good teachers, because only here could they find sufficiently powerful martial arts teachers and abundant martial techniques.
However, to super genius martial artists like Feng Mingxi and Angie Prairie who had powerful masters, the attraction of the Star Cloud Academy’s Martial Arts Branch was not enough.
To them, perhaps only the six S-rank martial techniques in the martial arts database of the Martial Arts Branch were attractive.
Chu Nan was originally a young martial artist of the previous category, so it was already a good opportunity for him to come to Star Cloud Academy to study.
However, later on, Chu Nan’s strength increased extremely quickly. According to the news sent back from the Martial Arts Academy Alliance Competition, he was even a Heaven Control expert who had successfully condensed a star cloud!
