“What?”

Lu Xiao had just stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth when he looked up and responded.

Only then did he realize that the surrounding students were all looking at him. Moreover, their gazes were strange, as if they were looking at a beauty.

He was a grown man. What was there to see?

Don’t tell me that you’re gay?

After chewing and swallowing the steak, he suddenly realized that there was someone beside him.

“You are…”

Lu Xiao was not stupid. The man in front of him had an extraordinary aura.

He could feel a huge pressure just by looking at him.

The pressure was not deliberate.

Instead, it was nurtured from a lot of battles.

When the other students saw how rude Lu Xiao was, their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.

They wished they could just remind him.

How awesome the man standing in front of him was!

“Hehe, I haven’t seen a cultivator of the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique in a long time.”

Chen Lijun did not mind. Instead, his tone was filled with admiration as he mentioned Lu Xiao’s cultivation of the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique.

The Grand Heaven Devouring Technique was very difficult to learn.

Not even one in thousands of people might be able to grasp it. The conditions were very harsh.

Ordinary Martial Artists would not bet their future on it.

Therefore, the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique was rarely chosen.

However, once someone picked it up, coupled with diligent cultivation in the future, they could dig out endless potential!

The extreme difficulty in the initial phase destined this cultivation technique to be unpopular.

But he had once seen a precedent in the Dao Enlightenment Academy.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to tell at a glance that Lu Xiao cultivated the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique.

He still could not forget the successful cultivation of the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique.

He had seen how terrifying this cultivation technique was.

Unfortunately…

The difficulty of cultivation was too high, and the requirements of various aspects were even more difficult to satisfy.

Now that he saw the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique again, Chen Lijun could not help but be very interested in Lu Xiao.

And he had the idea of inviting the guy into the Dao Enlightenment Academy.

As everyone knew, the Dao Enlightenment Academy was the best university in the entire Central Continent.

The requirements for graduation were extremely harsh.

Only the outstanding students of the high schools could get in.

However, entering the Dao Enlightenment Academy meant that one was a genius, but it did not mean that one would have a bright future.

Because it was extremely difficult to graduate from the Dao Enlightenment Academy.

More than half of the students fell on the threshold of graduation every year.

There had been one year of students that had even made history.

Less than ten students successfully obtained their graduation certificates, and the remaining students all failed!

It was rumored that the achievements of each of those ten students were enough to make people admire them.

It was enough to prove that the graduation certificate of the Dao Enlightenment Academy was extremely valuable.

At the same time, there was a strict recommendation system. They would not easily recruit students other than those who passed the martial arts examination.

A recommendation letter must be written by one of the main endorser, plus the consent signatures of two alumni.

Only then could one obtain admission approval.

That’s right, Chen Lijun was thinking about that.

There were only a few cultivators who could pick up the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique. He did not expect to meet one here.

Lu Xiao did not expect that the breathing technique he cultivated would be seen through at a glance.

The newcomer’s strength could not be underestimated.

However, Chen Lijun did not show any hostility from the beginning to the end. Lu Xiao admitted it openly.

“That’s right. I cultivate the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique.”

He did not look as terrified as the other students. After all, he was just a student and had nothing to worry about.

Chen Lijun smiled brightly and handed a simple business card to Lu Xiao.

“Hahaha, you really have guts!”

“As expected of someone who dares to cultivate the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique.”

“I look forward to you getting a good ranking in the martial arts exam.”

“If you can get into the top ten, call the number above.”

“I’ll arrange for a recommendation letter for you to enter the Dao Enlightenment Academy.”

As soon as he said this, the students who heard it almost fainted from suffocation.

A recommendation letter from the Dao Enlightenment Academy!!!

It was something that many students dreamed of!

This was not something that could be bought with money. Without a certain status and strength, one did not even dare to think about it.

And Lu Xiao actually got the chance to enter the Dao Enlightenment Academy because he ate and drank too much.

It was as magical as a dream.

Li Mao finally regained his senses and slumped into his chair when he heard this news.

One could tell by his expression that the blow was too great.

He had already lost the ability to think again.

He was the one paying for this meal.

He had clearly introduced himself to Chen Lijun first.

In the end, he didn’t gain anything.

And he had to pay for the entire class’s meals.

No one could accept that.

Now that he heard that Lu Xiao actually had a chance to enter the Dao Enlightenment Academy, it was already not easy for him to not vomit blood on the spot.

“Thank you for your kindness, Senior. I’ll work hard.”

Lu Xiao smiled politely and took the business card with both hands.

It was a very simple business card with only a name and phone number on it.

Usually people who used this kind of business card weren’t simple, because they no longer needed to identify themselves with additional titles.

Their name was their title!

“I’ll look forward to your performance. See you next time.”

With that, Chen Lijun strode away.

After a while, the class went crazy.

“Damn, damn, damn, I’m really not dreaming, right? Lu Xiao has a chance to enter the Dao Enlightenment Academy!!!”

“It’s just a meal. Why don’t I get to enjoy such a windfall?”

“In the future, we’ll be on different sides from Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao’s future is beyond our reach.”

“But… the requirement is the top ten of the martial arts exam. Do you really think it’s that easy?”

“It’s indeed not easy, but it’s still better than us.”

“That’s right. Even if you can get into the top ten, you have to catch the Dao Enlightenment Academy’s eye.”

“The Dao Enlightenment Academy… I dream of joining it. Why don’t I have this chance!”

“Come on, you should just eat your chicken butt. Stop dreaming.”

“Comparisons are maddening. I really envy Lu Xiao. He’s just having a meal and he has a benefactor helping him.”

“Putting everything else aside, Lu Xiao might have met a benefactor today, but if we have a good relationship with Lu Xiao, wouldn’t Lu Xiao be my future benefactor?”

“Damn, you’re still the smart one!”

After a round of discussions, everyone looked at Lu Xiao.

They were already thinking about how to please him.

After Chen Lijun left, Lu Xiao began his sumptuous dinner again and cultivated the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique.

He could enter the Dao Enlightenment Academy after entering the top ten of the martial arts examination.

He’d already considered offer.

He might not even dare to think about it before the test.

But now that he had the Simplification System, the situation was completely different.

He could improve his Root Bone by drinking water. Could the other students do the same?

If he could eat, he could cultivate!

Perhaps the other students in the martial arts examination were very strong, but if Lu Xiao chased after them at this moment, he might be able to overtake them!

He continued to eat his hot steak.

The taste was still the same, but he felt a chill down his spine.
