As the number one academy in the federation, because the requirements for enrollment were extremely high and the quota was extremely strict, in fact, there were not many students in general, and the scale was naturally not very large.

Of course, the place to eat would not treat these top students badly.

Apart from the six dining halls officially opened by the academy, there were also many special restaurants.

It was obvious that Mondeo had long planned to have a meal together and had studied this aspect in advance. After pulling the other three out of the dormitory, he brought them around a few times and arrived at a restaurant that did not look eye-catching outside but had a lot of space inside.

“I’ve asked those seniors on the academy’s official forum. Everything else in this place is ordinary, but there are a few specialties that are especially good.” As soon as he sat down, Mondeo introduced the three of them to the waiter.

Chu Nan had just arrived and naturally knew nothing about this. It was the same for Tanaka Iyoko and Saar, so they could only listen to Mondeo talk non-stop.

Soon, Mondeo readily ordered.

After the automatic mechanical waiter left, Mondeo took a sip of water and immediately looked at Chu Nan with a burning gaze.

“Heh, Chu Nan, there are only the four of us now. Come, tell us, how did you get eighth place? You’re even one place higher than Feng Mingxi?”

Tanaka Iyoko and Saar immediately looked at Chu Nan with puzzled expressions.

It should be said that this was the doubt of many people.

Everyone knew that Chu Nan only had the standard of a third-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition half a year ago. Then, after half a year, even if he had improved and was once exposed to have broken through to the Internal Breath Realm, compared to the geniuses of the federation who were participating in the entrance test, an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist should be inconspicuous.

However, Chu Nan had forcefully squeezed into the eighth place among so many geniuses. While it made people sigh, they were also puzzled.

How was he qualified?

“I said that it was luck, but you didn’t believe me.” Chu Nan smiled.

The three of them looked at each other and knew that Chu Nan had only just met them after all. It was impossible for him to be honest.

Mondeo pondered for a moment and said, “Right, Chu Nan, you cultivate the Nine Revolutions Technique, right? Many people treat this cultivation method as trash, but I don’t think so.”

“Oh?” Chu Nan was a little surprised.

He had cultivated the Nine Revolutions Technique for so many years. Almost everyone would shake their heads and sigh after knowing this, or directly mock him for cultivating a trash cultivation method. Now, Mondeo expressed that he did not think so. Was it because of him?

“Think about it. If the Nine Revolutions Technique is really trash, how could Senior Su Xuansheng become a powerful Star-Grade Martial Artist back then? Moreover, Senior Su Xuansheng also clearly said that he only cultivated the Nine Revolutions Technique to the seventh level. If he can cultivate it to the highest ninth level, he will only be stronger. Therefore, I feel that it’s not that the Nine Revolutions Technique is bad, but the person who cultivates it is bad,” Mondeo firmly asserted.

“Hey, Chu Nan cultivates the Nine Revolutions Technique. Could it be that you want to say that he can’t do it?” Saar teased.

“Of course that’s not what I mean.” Mondeo waved his hand, “Chu Nan is so powerful now, so I think it must be related to the Nine Revolutions Technique. If others cultivate the Nine Revolutions Technique badly, Chu Nan can cultivate it well. Come, tell me, Chu Nan, what level have you cultivated your Nine Revolutions Technique to? From your performance, I dare to guess that you should have at least reached the third or even fourth level, right?”

Looking at the curious gazes of Tanaka Iyoko and Saar, Chu Nan thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing to hide. He smiled and shook his head.

“No, I’ve already cultivated to the fifth level.”

“The fifth level?!” The other three immediately revealed shocked expressions.

“Oh my god, you’ve actually cultivated to the fifth level!” Mondeo could not help but be shocked and shout, “No wonder you’re so powerful! I heard that ever since Su Xuansheng left behind the Nine Revolutions Technique, not many people have cultivated to the fifth level in more than 200 years!”

“That’s right. Chu Nan, Su Xuansheng was already a Star-Grade Martial Artist when he cultivated to the seventh level back then. If you cultivate to the fifth level now, wouldn’t that mean…” At this point, Saar was suddenly stunned before he asked in confusion, “Wait, Chu Nan, this isn’t right, right? You’ve already cultivated to the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Technique. Why haven’t you broken through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate?”

Hearing Saar mention the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, Mondeo and Tanaka Iyoko’s expressions were a little unnatural.

One of the important reasons why Chu Nan was famous was because half a year ago, Mu Yutong and Norman had personally said in the media’s live broadcast that it was very difficult for him to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate.

Now that Saar mentioned this, wasn’t he directly exposing Chu Nan’s shortcomings?

Chu Nan did not mind and still smiled, “The level of the Nine Revolutions Technique has nothing to do with the level of a martial artist. Cultivating to a higher level only means that your understanding of Internal Breath is deeper and your improvement is faster. I only understood some of the key points in the past half a year and was able to cultivate to the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Technique in one go. Before this, I’ve been stuck at the second level for many years.”

Hearing Chu Nan’s explanation, the three of them revealed enlightened expressions.

Although the stronger most Internal Breath cultivation methods were, the stronger a martial artist was, it was not strange that there were many situations where a realm like the Nine Revolutions Technique was not completely compatible with one’s strength.

“No wonder Chu Nan’s recent performance has always been so shocking. It even shocked all of us in the entrance test,” Mondeo said. He suddenly leaned closer to Chu Nan and lowered his voice to put on a mysterious appearance, “Em… Chu Nan, we’re brothers, tell us the truth. Did you really kill the Storm Killer King?”

When they heard this question, Saar and Tanaka Iyoko immediately pricked up their ears and looked at Chu Nan.

Although Feng Mingxi had pointed out in front of all the students that Chu Nan had killed a Gale Slayer and Chu Nan had tacitly agreed, many people were still very suspicious.

In the end, Chu Nan had only just broken through to the Internal Breath Realm, but the Storm Killer King was a C-rank ferocious beast. It was born with the ability to control spatial energy. If a martial artist did not have a certain understanding and use of spatial energy, it was impossible for them to be his match. Of course, it was impossible for them to kill it.

With Chu Nan’s current strength, it was clearly impossible for him to master spatial energy.

“What if I say that I didn’t kill him?” Looking at the gazes of the three of them, Chu Nan joked.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Mondeo’s face. “We’ll be brothers in the same dormitory in the future, so there’s no need to hide it like this, right? You killed him, so our brothers are all happy for you. Even if you didn’t kill him, it’s your ability to find others for help. Us brothers definitely won’t say anything, right?”

This last sentence was directed at Tanaka Iyoko and Saar.

Tanaka and Saar nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Mondeo seemed to have the intention to get to the bottom of it, Chu Nan stopped joking. He thought for a moment and nodded, “I killed it. No one else helped.”

The way the three of them looked at Chu Nan instantly changed.
