With the help of the martial arts memories, Lu Huai’s realm rose.

Big black had been recuperating at home.

A week had quickly passed.

Liu Changqing of the Heavenly Divine Academy had personally come to visit him again.

“Lu Huai, the academy has already arranged your test location for you. It will be at the Horse Plains of District 3.”

“The academy has prepared a private shuttle for you. It’ll arrive tomorrow morning.”

“The test will begin on the day after tomorrow.”

Liu Changqing said to Lu Huai.

A private shuttle?

Lu Huai could not help but secretly click his tongue.

I’m just a new student. Why are they making such a big deal out of this?

They’re actually going to send me a private shuttle?

Lu Huai had read about this in textbooks.

Private shuttles were the highest-end means of transportation in the alliance, and they were usually used to transport the leaders of the alliance.

If not the leaders, then most likely a super expert.

Such shuttles might not even be used more than two to three times a year.

It was also said that the cost of using a flying shuttle was extremely steep, burning up to ten million alliance dollars every time they were used.

But now, the academy had actually rented a private flying shuttle just for him.

It’s just a test. There’s no need to be so extravagant, right?

Liu Changqing looked at Lu Huai with admiration in his eyes.

In fact, over the past few days, the people sent by the heavenly Divine Academy had been secretly observing Lu Huai.

If it were someone else at Lu Huai’s age who had awakened such a special talent, they would have been so proud that they would have most likely already forgotten themselves.

The higher the level of someone’s awakening, the more arrogant they tended to be.

As the dean of the Heavenly Divine Academy, he had seen many such people.

Because of that, he did not expect that Lu Huai, who had awakened the most special gradeless talent and had so many top experts come to visit him. would be able to remain so grounded.

If it were anyone else, they would have thought highly of themselves and have become filled with pride.

But that was not the case for Lu Huai.

His attitude remained calm and steady, just like everyone else.

Additionally, according to the feedback from the people who had been observing him, Lu Huai had basically not left his residence for the past few days.

It was very thus likely that he was bitterly cultivating at home.

He is truly worthy of being someone with a gradeless talent.

Lu Huai had been sent many treasures by those academies and families, and he also had a heaven-grade cultivation technique.

His cultivation must have improved by a lot.

He should have at least reached the martial apprentice realm.

Liu Changqing estimated.

After the revival of spirit qi, martial artists appeared in the world and were divided into ranks by qi and blood. Under normal circumstances, should the person in question choose not to reveal their qi and blood, even a super-strong person like Liu Changqing would not be able to judge Lu Huai’s strength.

However, this did not stop him from using his own experience to make a judgment.

“Dean Liu, please wait a moment.”

Just as Liu Changqing was about to leave, Lu Huai stopped him.

“Is there anything else?”

Liu Changqing looked at Lu Huai with a kind expression.

“We can go to the Horse Plains tomorrow, but there’s really no need for a private shuttle. It’s better if you don’t give me any special treatment.”

Lu Huai said.

He felt that it was fine as long as the Heavenly Divine Academy treated him normally.

No one would be willing to board a private shuttle unless there was an emergency.

Moreover, he clearly knew that he had no talent. If he made such a big fuss, someone might come to find trouble with him.

Liu Changqing was surprised by his words.

Liu Changqing initially thought Lu Huai had some special request, but he did not expect him to ask for this.

“With your status, this is merely what you deserve.”

Liu Changqing said.

“I know, but the academy has already given me a lot of resources, right? If I continue to ask for resources from the academy, wouldn’t it make things difficult for the academy? ”

Lu Huai shook his head firmly.

Liu Changqing was very surprised, but seeing Lu Huai’s insistence, he nodded with relief.

“Since you seem so insistent on this, then we proceed as you’ve said.”

In reality, ever since the revival of spirit qi, human martial arts practitioners had barely managed to turn the tide of the situation between demonic beasts and humans.

The cultivation of demonic beasts required them to drink human blood and eat human flesh or to strengthen their cultivation through their bloodline.

On the other hand, human martial arts practitioners needed to rely on a large number of resources to expedite their cultivation speed.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for a human cultivator to keep up with a demonic beast’s rapid advancement in cultivation realm just by relying on their own hard work in cultivating.

There were many human martial arts practitioners, but there were only so many resources.

Not to mention, there were still some super powerhouses who held some resources in their hands and refused to give them up.

This made the available cultivation resources even scarcer.

The powerhouses of the older generation in the academies like theirs would always save as many resources as they could, leaving them for the next generation.

Honestly speaking, while it was indeed reasonable for the academy to arrange a private shuttle for Lu Huai, it was undeniably a bit too extravagant and wasteful.

Lu Huai’s words imperceptibly made Liu Changqing’s good impression of him rise.

After Liu Changqing left, Lu Huai continued to cultivate at home.

He was not disturbed by such a small matter.

…

The next morning.

Anyang City Station.

“Big Black, you’ve been with me for so long, but this is your first time riding a railcar, right?”

Lu Huai patted Big Black, who was right beside him. In order to prevent this guy from talking nonsense everywhere, Lu Huai even placed a mask on it.

Big Black looked at Lu Huai with concealed bitterness in its eyes.

Just wait and see how I react.

Looking at the huge station in front of him, Lu Huai felt a little melancholic.

He had lived in Anyang City for over a decade, and this was the first time he was leaving.

And the first stop was to leave the alliance and go outside.

Luckily, Liu Changqing told him that someone would be waiting for him in District 3.

As for the railcar, it was actually similar to the high-speed rail from before he transmigrated, just that it had a different name and was much faster.

Lu Huai entered the transit station.

A familiar face appeared right in front of him.

“Lu Huai, we meet again.”

The person was Long Sheng.

“The Heavenly Divine Academy asked me to take care of you along the way. You don’t mind, do you?” Long Sheng looked at Lu Huai with a smile.

Lu Huai did not mind.

He did not reject Long Sheng.

He was unfamiliar with both the people and the place itself when it came to District 3, so he felt much more at ease with someone by his side.

“This is your demonic beast pet?”

Long Sheng looked at Big Black.

“Big Black has been with me for many years. He’s family to me.” Lu Huai shook his head after some thought.

Long Sheng’s expression immediately froze.

He had forgotten about this. According to the internal information in the alliance, Lu Huai was an orphan.

And the dog beside him was the animal that had always been with him.

He should not have touched a sore spot.

“I’m very sorry, Lu Huai. I’ve offended you.” Long Sheng said with an apologetic expression.

Lu Huai waved his hand to indicate that he was not bothered by it.

The two of them waited at the transit station for a while.

Not long after, a group of armed men came over.

Lu Huai looked over curiously.

Long Sheng noticed Lu Huai’s gaze and explained.

“After the railcar leaves the area, it will be directly exposed to demonic beasts. These people are from the allied forces. They are responsible for the safety of the railcar.”

At this point, Long Sheng’s voice lowered.

“After all, the demonic beasts outside the closest zone are very active. There have already been two incidents of demonic beasts attacking the railcars. However, there should not be any issues today. Martial artists have already carved a protective array outside the railcar with a special method. We don’t have to worry even if demonic beasts do attack.”
