Chapter 779 — Dragon Han's Fierce and Mighty Body

" The Great Sun Star Lord was overjoyed. Suddenly, the sound of howling wind came. Shen Fengqing was driving the Life-Slaying Cauldron; a fierce baleful might pervaded the cauldron, the sky nearly split apart, and the distant mountains became crumbly and soft, almost destroyed by the Life-Slaying Cauldron's dire power! Even the great Buddha in the sky was buffeted by the cauldron's ferocious aura and could not keep his seat.

Everyone's face turned pale, and they all felt a sense of foreboding. "The Divine Son of Youdu is still growing. I am afraid he will soon have the strength of an emperor-throne expert.

He can even activate the Life-Slaying Cauldron's baleful might!

" Jingping.

Shen Mu stepped off the paper boat with Yutianzun. By the time they reached Jingping, it was already night, and the city in the distance was ablaze with lights. "Netherworld Venerable, you may leave us here," Shen Mu said. The old Netherworld emissary looked at him and said, "You played a trick on Tubo.

This must be written down in your little ledger. " Shen Mu smiled. "Jot it down, then. It's not as if I don't already have plenty.

" "You've given up on yourself," the old Netherworld emissary shook his head.

Suddenly he bowed to Yutianzun and said, "Venerable Mu, take good care of your elder brother. " With that, the small boat sailed into the darkness and vanished. Shen Mu watched him go, then led Yutianzun toward the Heavenly Sage Academy ahead.

He had asked the old Netherworld emissary to bring them there for his own reasons.

Yutianzun was now a blank sheet of paper—he understood nothing, could do nothing, and needed help even to eat and drink.

Shen Mu had to teach him the most elementary things, and he must not teach him any magical powers, or he would ruin a good seedling. The best method was to impart to him the most basic runes and let him comprehend everything else on his own.

The next morning, Shen Mu threw Yutianzun into the elementary classroom, letting him study the various runes of the Four Spirit Embryos and the Five Luminous Stars together with the young scholars.

By the second day, the teacher of the elementary classroom led Yutianzun back by the hand and said, "Headmaster, he has already learned everything. There is nothing more to teach him.

Moreover, he was beating the young scholars in class.

" Shen Mu was dumbfounded. He tested Yutianzun himself, and indeed he had mastered the fundamental runes of the Vermilion Bird, the Dark Turtle, and so forth.

What was more, Yutianzun had drawn inferences and created several magical powers on his own—shallow, yes, but already not weak.

"Could he really be a Hegemon Body?

" Shen Mu took Yutianzun to the Village Warden's lecture. The Village Warden taught the most basic sword formulas, and Yutianzun mastered them in two days, sending a cold sweat down the Village Warden's back.

"Is it a Hegemon Body? " Shen Mu asked.

The Village Warden was wholly at a loss and hesitated, "Somewhat like. . . Where did you get this boy?

" "A million years ago. " The Village Warden became even more bewildered, muttering, "A million-year-old Hegemon Body.

. . wait, I'm getting dizzy. . .

" Shen Mu then led Yutianzun to the Butcher's classroom. After two days of saber arts, Yutianzun mastered them with ease. "Shen'er, this young man is far cleverer than you," the Butcher said with a smile.

Shen Mu gave a snort, feeling rather unhappy, and said, "It took me only a few days to learn the basic saber arts.

But truly making the blade part of your body is hard. " "He learns faster than you, and his perception is higher as well," the Butcher said.

"It seems he is even a bit faster than that young man Xu Shenghua!

" With a dark face, Shen Mu took Yutianzun to listen to every classroom in the Heavenly Sage Academy.

Yutianzun mastered each method quickly, even in the most difficult halls, the Numerology Hall and the Creation Hall, at a terrifying speed.

After three months, he had learned all the basic runes and basic techniques taught in the Heavenly Sage Academy. Daoist Master Lin Xuan also heard that there was a numerology genius in the Heavenly Sage Academy and immediately rushed over from the Daoist Academy to take Yutianzun away for advanced studies in numerology, but Shen Mu drove him back.

Finally, Shen Mu tossed Yutianzun into the Heavenly Records Tower, where he could peruse any text he liked. A little over a month later, Yutianzun walked out of the tower.

Shen Mu's face was full of disbelief, and he cried out, "You've finished?

" Yutianzun lowered his head, ashamed, and said, "I read them all, but I didn't study them. I felt there were too many mistakes in those books.

.

.

" Shen Mu let out a murky breath to compose himself, and a strange thought arose in his mind: "Could it be that I am the false Hegemon Body, and he is the true one. . .

No, I must take him to see Xu Shenghua!

" At the Upper Empyrean Academy in the Western Lands, Xu Shenghua's expression was grave as he stared at Yutianzun before him and probed, "Hegemon Body? " Shen Mu nodded with difficulty and said in a rough voice, "Even smarter than me. .

. " "I was wondering why his aptitude and perceptiveness seem about the same as mine," Xu Shenghua praised.

"He learns it in one go!

But why does he look a bit simple-minded? " I'm not a football fan.

I don't care about the World Cup. So what if Switzerland drew with Brazil? I only love writing, striving, struggling, and typing away at my keyboard!
