The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?
Chapter 674 - 306: I was just kidding, why did you take it seriously?!

Chapter 674: Chapter 306: I was just kidding, why did you take it seriously?!

Mingwu Martial Academy was aglow with hanging lanterns and colorful decorations, as if a celebratory event was about to take place.

And indeed, it was a celebration.

Xu Tiehua of the Mingwu Martial Academy had made it into the top ten of the city-level Martial Arts Tournament for the first time.

At that moment, Xu Tiehua was filled with youthful pride.

Though for someone of his status, the top ten was not a significant achievement.

But it was still a feather in his cap.

It was akin to a mayor obtaining a top-three placement in a city-level calligraphy competition, which was also worth boasting about.

The other two competitors stood behind Xu Tiehua, their eyes brimming with admiration.

"Brother Xu securing a spot in the top ten is truly a joyous occasion,"

Lin Feng praised.

Yang Jiang also chuckled and said, "Within ten years, Brother Xu could potentially reach the Martial Artist Limit and win the national Martial Arts Tournament Championship!"

Upon hearing this, admiration arose in the hearts of the students present.

Winning the national Martial Arts Tournament Championship was a great temptation to them as well.

As a champion, the benefits one could gain were indeed substantial, possibly even... hundreds of millions.

All kinds of endorsements, fame, and even becoming honored guests of the aristocrats, and so forth.

For Xu Tiehua, the fame was even more important, as it would be beneficial for his future path.

"Ten years is too long," Xu Tiehua couldn’t help but sigh.

The world of Martial Arts was too small, and the prospects not grand enough.

He had no intention of spending another ten years in the world of Martial Arts.

Claiming a title among the top martial artists in the country within one or two years would be enough.

The world of Martial Arts had limited benefits to offer him.

"If I had ten years to win the national Martial Arts Tournament Championship, I would definitely be willing!" Lin Feng said, laughing.

"Your ten years and Brother Xu’s ten years are not the same. Brother Xu plans to enter politics in the future; he wouldn’t waste another ten years in the Martial Arts world," Xing Yu couldn’t help but comment.

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

In Qin Yuan Nation, the promotion of officials didn’t rely too heavily on seniority.

The aristocrats could retire after gaining renown for a while.

And Xu Tiehua was currently in the stage of gaining renown.

"Brother Xu, will you pursue a career in politics or the military in the future?" Shi Qiao asked curiously at that moment.

"The military!" Xu Tiehua stated firmly.

"The military? That’s too dangerous. The world is not peaceful nowadays, and the war between Wugui and Yuelang Nation could spread to our country at any time," Lin Feng said, concern in his eyes.

In his view, joining the military was nowhere near as safe as entering the political arena.

After all, bullets are merciless, and one never knows when they might strike.

Yang Jiang differed, "Fortune favors the bold. With the great war looming, there will be many opportunities to achieve glory.

Who knows, next time we see Brother Xu, we might have to address him as ’General’!"

"The military is indeed fraught with danger, and I’ve heard through the grapevine that a few days ago a military base in Wugui Nation, which housed a whole battalion, was annihilated," Xing Yu mentioned with a complex expression in her eyes.

"Haha, you’re not talking about that video where a single sword obliterated an army camp, are you? I saw that too, it’s ridiculous; the special effects are so cheap—clearly not realistic at all!" Shi Qiao said loudly.

It was normal for her to come across such videos since she was always in opposition to Wugui Nation.

"You and your rumors are quite something.

A whole battalion wiped out, and I haven’t heard any official reports?" Lin Feng clearly didn’t believe it.

After all, Yuelang was considered a military ally of Qin Yuan Nation, and if Yuelang had achieved such an exaggerated feat, the news in Qin Yuan Nation would have been headline news.

But as of now, there was no news of this nature being reported.

Everything was just rumor.

"It’s indeed exaggerated; I’ve seen that video too, and I can confirm that our Qin Yuan Nation doesn’t have any weapons with that kind of effect yet," Xu Tiehua interjected.

Since he was going to join the military, he was well-acquainted with various advanced weapons of Qin Yuan Nation.

None of them could produce that kind of effect.

Turning into a blood-red colossal sword and then fiercely smashing down.

Even the attacks from the Eye of the Sky didn’t work like that.

"The comments below the video are saying that someone’s ’cultivating immortality’ secretly behind our backs!" Shi Qiao joked.

Everyone had been staying up late for "Immortal Cultivation," but it turned out someone actually achieved real cultivation success.

The other students didn’t understand as they hadn’t come across the video.

The group of students chatted idly for quite a while.

Lin Feng and Yang Jiang wisely did not bring up Qi Yuan, who had deserted in the face of battle.

The atmosphere in the Martial Arts Academy was harmonious and pleasant.

Suddenly, someone called out to Shi Qiao.

"Sister Qiao, someone’s looking for you."

Shi Qiao turned around to see the receptionist.

Before she could move, Xing Yu teased, "Is she pestering you again?"

An expression of helplessness crossed Shi Qiao’s face: "Probably, ah, what a misfortune!"

Xing Yu couldn’t help but laugh, "What misfortune? It might be a good match!"

"Get lost, my taste has always been very normal; it has to be a handsome guy!"

"She’s not handsome!"

"Even if she were handsome, she’s still a woman!" Shi Qiao said, clearly annoyed.

A year ago, she had been at a nightclub and spotted a good-looking guy; they drank some alcohol, and things got heated.

Upon arriving at the hotel, she discovered the other party didn’t have the male parts.

This was something Shi Qiao was certainly not willing to go through with.

She was heterosexual.

She firmly declined.

She thought that was the end of it, but in recent days, she had run into that "good-looking guy" again.

The "good-looking guy" was aggressively pursuing her.

She was annoyed.

Yet she still had to meet them.

After all, she’d just learned that the person’s parents were family friends of hers.

Reluctantly leaving the Martial Arts Academy, Shi Qiao cursed under her breath, "Cosmetic surgery companies these days have no conscience, going so far as to turn a woman into the image of a man, causing me such embarrassment!"
