Chapter 278 - 215: Winning the Championship (Double-Length)

He’s very strong.

In just a fleeting moment, he unleashed hundreds of knife strikes, the blade light like a cold sea tide, striking towards Jiang Ye.

At the same time.

"Kill!" Jiang Ye thrust out a spear, and the white Cold Sun Great Day also followed.

Colliding fiercely with the hundreds of layers of blade light.

"Boom!"

This is an extremely terrifying confrontation, also the most fearsome collision in this Genius Cup to date!

The horrifying energy waves were like countless bombs exploding simultaneously.

The terrifying shockwave caused the arena under their feet to collapse repeatedly, quickly recover, and collapse again.

"Boom boom boom!" In the clash, the blade lights shattered consecutively.

Just a few seconds.

The surge of blade lights unleashed by Li Qi was swiftly crushed.

But the Cold Sun Great Day continued with unabated momentum, descending toward Li Qi.

"Psh!" Like a shooting rainbow across the sun.

The Cold Sun Great Day instantly pierced through Li Qi’s body.

Boom!

A loud bang was heard as the Great Day crashed onto the stage, erupting in an earth-shattering roar.

"Whoosh!" Li Qi’s figure flew back like a kite with a broken string, heavily hitting outside the arena.

The terrifying might almost failed the protective mechanism; he was just short of being shattered on the spot.

[Jiang Ye, Victory!]

A golden text flashed above the arena.

...

"Gulp~"

"Gulp!" The sound of swallowing was heard at the scene.

Over a hundred thousand spectators were left awestruck by the scene before them.

"Jiang Ye, won?"

"The battle ripple moments ago was terrifying."

"That level of might almost exceeded the range of Second Break late period, right?" The audience was all taken aback.

But shortly after.

"Jiang Ye! Jiang Ye! Jiang Ye!"

"The Twenty-Five Schools Alliance has won the championship!!"

"Jiang Ye’s awesome!" Students from various schools burst into cheers as loud as roaring seas.

We’ve won!

The Twenty-Five Schools have won!

Penglai University has won!!

...

"Did anyone see the spear technique Jiang Ye just used?"

"I didn’t."

"Neither did I." Teachers from various schools exchanged puzzled looks.

Someone looked at Old Bai: "Old Bai, was that spear technique from the legacy he obtained in White Dragon Court?"

"No."

"Jiang Ye obtained a Cultivation Technique and an Archery Technique."

"As for this spear technique," Old Bai was also somewhat puzzled: "It’s the first time I’ve seen him use this technique..."

The teachers heard this and expressed surprise.

They were all high-level professors, vice principals, or even principals from various schools.

They recognized most spear techniques; even if unfamiliar, they’d have an impression.

But the move Jiang Ye performed earlier? No one had seen it.

"Could it be this kid created it himself?" Mo Zixuan couldn’t help but say.

Old Bai said nothing.

Creation Technique? How could it be possible?

"It seems to have traces of the Great Sun Spear Technique." Old Bai pondered internally: "Did this kid improve upon the Great Sun Spear Technique?"

"Gasp!"

"Couldn’t be, right?" Old Bai couldn’t help but gasp: "If true, that’s quite shocking..."

"We’ll ask him thoroughly after the competition ends."

...

"Jiang Ye from Penglai University."

"Congratulations," Chu Jingye loudly said: "For winning this Genius Cup championship!"

"The top ten names of this Genius Cup are as follows."

"First place, Jiang Ye"

"Second place, Li Qi"

"Third place, Lin Qingxue"

"..."

After announcing the top ten names.

Chu Jingye didn’t waste words.

"I declare."

"The Twenty-Fifth School Genius Cup ends here!"

After speaking, Chu Jingye lowered his head and glanced in Jiang Ye’s direction, a flicker of light flashing in his deep gaze.

No one noticed this scene.

Because the next moment.

"Whoosh!" Chu Jingye flickered and disappeared from the spot.

This peerless prodigy from Celestial Gate University handled the Genius Cup like completing a task.

The competition ended, and he left hastily.

...

"Jiang Ye, congratulations!" Shen Changxi looked at Jiang Ye, with a smile in his eyes: "Champion, Penglai University will be proud of you."

Jiang Ye returned to the spectator seats and shook his head with a smile upon hearing the words.

"You’re exaggerating."

"Shen Changxi is right." Liu Wanxiao exclaimed, "You’ve truly become famous now; defeating Star River University, which ranks seventh among the top ten schools, at Penglai University is unprecedented!"

"It’s not that exaggerated." Jiang Ye shook his head and smiled, "Li Qi is only ranked mid-level at Star River University."

"It’s more like upper-middle rank," Shen Changxi corrected.

"Jiang Ye." Liu Wanxiao said enviously, "Penglai University will definitely promote you like crazy; you’re about to become famous worldwide!"

"Famous worldwide?" Jiang Ye’s heart stirred.

If it could really be like this.

Doesn’t that mean his talent should also be improved?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye suddenly felt some anticipation.

...

The Twenty-Fifth School Genius Cup concluded perfectly.

Jiang Ye won the championship of the Genius Cup, and his battle with Li Qi will surely spread throughout the world.

However, that’s something for later.

Jiang Ye, Shen Changxi, Liu Wanxiao, and others didn’t stay on site.

After the competition ended, they took the school aircraft back to Penglai University.

As for ranking rewards? A designated person will deliver them when the time comes.

...

Nightfall, Penglai University.

Manor No. 41.

The first thing Jiang Ye did upon returning home was to pick up his phone and dial a certain beauty’s number.

"Ring..."

Beep! The call connected.

A graceful silhouette in a moon-white long gown, with legs as white as jade, appeared.

She opened her cold and charming eyebrows, and upon seeing Jiang Ye, the peach blossom-like eyes immediately gained color.

"Jiang Ye." Chen Zilu said with a smile, "Is the competition over?"

"Senior sister!"

"I won the championship." Jiang Ye smiled, "You’re the first person I called, I haven’t even told Teacher Zhu yet."

Chen Zilu froze.

"...Why did you emphasize this?" The young woman looked away somewhat awkwardly.

"I said I would let my senior sister know first when I won the championship." Jiang Ye laughed, "I didn’t go back on my word, did I?"

"Hmm, you didn’t go back on your word." Chen Zilu hummed lightly, looking as if she wasn’t very concerned.

But her rosy lips slightly curved, seemingly happy inside.

"Has senior sister been busy lately?" Jiang Ye asked, "I have something I want to discuss with you in person."

"What about?" Chen Zilu looked at him curiously.

"I’ll tell you when we meet."

"Then come over and call me when you arrive." Chen Zilu thought for a moment and said, "I’m not busy recently."

"Okay." Jiang Ye laughed.

Actually, when is Chen Zilu not busy? Her cultivation plan is very urgent.

Jiang Ye knew this but didn’t point it out.

Soon after, he hung up the phone.

He arrived at the practice room.

"The Cold Sun Spear Technique is indeed incredibly powerful."

"Even with just Minor Success, it’s enough to defeat opponents like Li Qi." Jiang Ye took a deep breath, recalling the previous battle, "The cultivation technique I created fits me perfectly."

In his estimation, the Cold Sun Spear Technique may only be of Earth Tier level.

It might not reach Celestial Tier.

If so, why was he able to easily defeat Li Qi?

Jiang Ye speculated that because this spear technique was created by him, its power also reached a higher level.

"From now on, I’ll focus on the Cold Sun Spear Technique."

"I can’t neglect the Great Sun Spear Technique either; it can serve as verification for the Cold Sun Spear Technique." Jiang Ye planned quietly.

Moments later.

He sat cross-legged, not eager to practice the spear or cultivate the cultivation technique.

Instead—

"Refinement." Jiang Ye looked inward at himself, able to see numerous ’spiritual’ elements stored within his body.

These ’spiritual’ elements are precisely the dozens of great opportunities he gained from this Genius Cup trip!

Each one is of Upper class within D-level opportunities.

These are enough to elevate his cultivation swiftly in a short time.

But these opportunities still require time to refine before they can truly be converted into Jiang Ye’s strength.

"I wonder how much these opportunities can improve me." Jiang Ye thought with anticipation and slowly closed his eyes.

He began refining them.

...

While Jiang Ye was immersed in cultivation, the current Twenty-Fifth School Genius Cup spread rapidly across the Federation’s forty provinces with incredible influence.

"Jiang Ye from An City in the West Mountain Province won the championship!"

"Genius Jiang Ye from Penglai University!"

"Overwhelming Star River, sweeping through the Northern Domain!"

"Jiang Ye, Genius Cup champion..." Various news media are broadcasting related news, making the Genius Cup announcements spread like rolling snowballs.

The Twenty-Fifth School Genius Cup had already attracted significant attention.

This year, it was even more extremely rare.

Jiang Ye’s situation was too unique, coming from West Mountain Province, An City, an ordinary family!

Such an example had never occurred with previous Genius Cup champions.

As the influence gradually spread.

Suddenly.

An even heavier news dropped like a deep-water bomb.

"Jiang Ye, with Original Talent, won the Genius Cup championship!!!"
