Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 350: Final Rating

Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Final Rating

Seeing Ling Chen still stubbornly refusing to listen, Xia Yuan earnestly advised, "Ling Chen, we are not interfering with your cultivation, we simply hope you focus your energies in the right direction."

"Palace Master, I’ve said it before, I will not give up the cultivation of Spiritual Power!"

Ling Chen shook his head.

A female instructor looked at Ling Chen and said, "Ling Chen, why must you persist in cultivating Spiritual Power? Your Divine Soul talent is clearly much stronger, why not cultivate your Divine Soul to the later stage of transformation, and then, cultivating Spiritual Power wouldn’t be a problem either!"

This female instructor was a high-grade upper-class Divine Thought Master.

Named Shen Qishuang.

She simply couldn’t bear to see Ling Chen waste his Divine Soul talent like this.

Thus, she had come up with this plan along with the Palace Master to change Ling Chen.

Unfortunately, who knew that Ling Chen would be as stubborn as a mule, completely unappreciative!

Ling Chen didn’t speak, subtly shook his head to express his attitude.

"In that case, Ling Chen, as long as you promise to give up cultivating Spiritual Power, I can promote your ranking to the peerless level."

Xia Yuan said with a smile.

"What, peerless?"

"Isn’t that the rating of a Sacred Body?"

"It seems in both Academic Palaces only the Crown Prince has a peerless rating, right?"

...

Everyone exclaimed in shock.

Who would have thought, the Palace Master, for the sake of Ling Chen, would go to such lengths?

"Peerless, wow!"

Qin Shi and other newly admitted disciples were extremely excited.

Different ratings enjoy different treatments.

The higher the rating, the better the treatment.

The gaps between each grade lead to tenfold differences in their granted privileges.

And the unique peerless rating, in the Academic Palace of Jiang Xing, would enjoy the most supreme treatment.

Comparable to the treatment of the Crown Prince at the Wang Xing Academic Palace!

However, Ling Chen’s expression didn’t fluctuate much; he looked up at Xia Yuan and said lightly, "Palace Master, I will not change my decision."

He knew his own situation best.

How could a few words from an outsider make him give up what he had firmly held onto?

"Ling Chen, think it over again!"

Chi Shen also hurriedly urged.

Although the transcendent and peerless ratings are only a grade apart.

But the treatment is worlds apart.

Moreover, Ling Chen would be the only one at the peerless level within the Jiang Xing Academic Palace.

As long as Ling Chen accepts it, with the resources of the Jiang Xing Academic Palace, he would be rapidly promoted to a high-grade upper-class Divine Thought Master.

"Elder Chi, no need to say more, my mind is made up!"

Ling Chen shook his head.

Perhaps, he could agree now and secretly cultivate Spiritual Power later on, these people might not even notice.

He could even leverage the Divine Soul resources to elevate his Divine Soul cultivations to an extremely high level.

However, he didn’t want to become someone who doesn’t keep his word.

He didn’t want to betray his own heart.

Seeing Ling Chen so stubborn, Xia Yuan reluctantly smiled and said, "Ling Chen, how about this, as long as you temporarily stop cultivating Spiritual Power and raise your Divine Soul to the middle stage of transformation, afterwards I won’t interfere with your decisions, what do you say?"

"Really?" Ling Chen slightly smiled.

"Of course," Xia Yuan nodded firmly.

Even raising the Divine Soul to the middle stage of transformation is challenging for anyone.

Even for Ling Chen, it would at least take several years.

And by then, Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power would have fallen too far behind.

And he would also get used to cultivating the Divine Soul.

Perhaps then he might willingly give up cultivating Spiritual Power.

"Alright!"

Ling Chen nodded.

"Whew!"

Hearing Ling Chen agreeing, Xia Yuan took a deep sigh of relief, feeling a heavy burden lifted.

Shen Qishuang and the other eight instructors also showed satisfied smiles.

Elder Chi was overwhelmed with excitement.

Because discovering a peerless-level genius, he would also receive an extremely generous reward.

"Ling Chen, remember your promise."

Xia Yuan gave Ling Chen a slight smile and then announced, "Ling Chen, the final rating is peerless!"

As the voice fell, a ring, likewise, floated in front of Ling Chen.

Ling Chen grabbed the ring, recognized it by dripping his blood onto it, and instantly sensed the treasures inside. They were all Soul Stones, Memory Recovery Pills, and the like, used by Divine Thought Masters for cultivation.

There was even a medium-grade Telekinesis weapon.

"Alright, you may go down and cultivate diligently!"

Xia Yuan nodded to the six people including Ling Chen.

"Yes."

The six, including Ling Chen, bowed slightly and then walked towards the outside of the hall.

However, just a few steps out, an Elder hurried over: "Palace Master, there is an urgent matter to report!"

"Elder Qin, what is it?"

Xia Yuan looked at the Elder with considerable dissatisfaction.

"Palace Master, please have these newly promoted students stay for a moment."

Elder Qin quickly said.

"You all stay for a moment."

Xia Yuan said.

Not understanding why Ling Chen and the others were asked to stay.

"Palace Master, there appears to be a superior middle-rank Divine Thought Master among the new students!"

Elder Qin announced loudly.

"What?!"

Xia Yuan’s eyes sharply focused as he stood up straight.

"Superior middle-rank Divine Thought Master?"

The eight mentors were also stunned.

In the Academic Palace, there were a few Divine Thought Masters.

But most of them were superior low-rank Divine Thought Masters.

There were only three superior middle-rank Divine Thought Masters, and they were promoted successfully under their tutoring.

How could they not know about a superior middle-rank Divine Thought Master among the new students?

"Which student is it?"

Xia Yuan was the first to recover, asking excitedly.

"Ling Chen."

Elder Qin spoke.

"What?"

Xia Yuan was momentarily dumbfounded.

He then realized why Ling Chen previously refused to give up cultivating Spiritual Power, and why, when he proposed the condition to cultivate up to the middle stage of transformation, Ling Chen agreed immediately.

The eight mentors also turned their gaze towards Ling Chen.

Their eyes were filled with incredulity.

A seventeen-year-old superior middle-rank Divine Thought Master...

How could it feel like a dream?

Seeing the shocked expressions of the Palace Master and the eight mentors, Elder Qin’s lips curled into a bitter smile.

He was even more surprised than them when he first heard the news!

"Palace Master, I’ve already brought Su Yao, who has sparred with Ling Chen. If you doubt it, you can ask him personally."

Elder Qin hastily said.

However, Xia Yuan, as if he hadn’t heard, kept his gaze fixed on Ling Chen.

"Are you really a superior middle-rank Divine Thought Master?"

Xia Yuan’s voice trembled slightly with the words.

It was unbelievable that someone at seventeen had cultivated their Divine Soul to the middle stage of transformation; such a genius had never been seen before in the history of Great Xia!

Ling Chen looked up at Xia Yuan and said with a light smile, "It seems so?"

"It seems so..."

Hearing this answer, Xia Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly.

Shen Qishuang stood up in shock and looked towards Ling Chen.

"Let me try!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a stream of Divine Soul Telekinesis roared out from the Heavenly Spirit and blasted towards Ling Chen.

Logically, as a superior high-rank Divine Thought Master, she should be able to sense the level of Ling Chen’s Divine Soul cultivation.

But she couldn’t.

Ling Chen stood still, smiling faintly as a stream of Divine Soul Telekinesis attacked Shen Qishuang.

"Boom!"

The two streams of Divine Soul Telekinesis collided, creating a huge sound, and a vast wave of energy swept around them.

"He truly is a superior middle-rank Divine Thought Master!"

Shen Qishuang exclaimed with delight.

The Divine Soul Telekinesis she had used was exactly at the middle stage of transformation.

Ling Chen being able to withstand her confirmed he was indeed a superior middle-rank Divine Thought Master!
