Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2355 - 2454: What If There’s Even a Sliver of Hope? (3rd Update)

Undying Physique!

Just hearing the name, you know how defying it is.

Moreover, what’s more exaggerated is that Gu Xiu, the Undead, actually awakened the one in billions Divine Destruction Melody during that calamity.

Undying Physique + Divine Destruction Melody, simply invincible.

The Four Great Academies, all fiercely competed for him.

At that time, to vie for Gu Xiu, even Feng Qiu, the dean, was mobilized.

But in the end, Gu Xiu was snatched away by the Lingcang Buddhist Martial Arts Academy, known as Ling Academy.

Because of this event, Feng Qiu and the higher-ups of the Saint Academy regretted it for a long, long time...

And annoyingly, in the eight thousand years after Gu Xiu entered Ling Academy, Ling Academy organized competitions between the Four Great Academies many times.

Moreover, each time, the competition was for those under ten thousand years old.

Isn’t it just because they’re afraid that those over ten thousand years old can crush Gu Xiu? Gu Xiu is only seventy thousand years old.

This so-called competition is actually just a match where Gu Xiu obliterates the geniuses of the other three academies.

Each time, Gu Xiu sweeps through everything alone, leaving the other three academies utterly defeated.

Later on, Ling Academy wanted to organize yet another Four Academy competition, including the Saint Academy, but the other three academies were unwilling to participate.

It’s completely just accompanying Ling Academy to boost Gu Xiu’s reputation.

Moreover, after each competition, Gu Xiu gains a lot, and his strength increases rapidly.

"They insist on limiting it to under ten thousand years, but Qu Mu is a hundred and seventy thousand years old. If there were no age limit, Qu Mu would have long taught Gu Xiu a miserable lesson." Elder Wang snorted.

"This time, what conditions did Ling Academy propose for the competition?" Feng Qiu’s eyes flashed as he asked.

Did they really think that the other three academies are fools?

Why do they keep playing along with Ling Academy even though they know this so-called exchange competition for those under ten thousand years old is just boosting Gu Xiu’s reputation and increasing his combat experience?

That’s because Ling Academy always offers very enticing conditions each time.

"This time, they said the first place in the competition will be engaged to Mu Feiyan and will receive dowry immediately!" An elder took a deep breath and spoke, his voice somewhat grave.

Hmm?

Once he said this, all the high-ups of the Saint Academy present had a visible change in expression.

So ruthless?

Such a grand gesture?

"Ling Academy is certain that the first place will be Gu Xiu, and Gu Xiu’s engagement to Mu Feiyan was precisely Old Monster Mu’s calculation." Feng Qiu snorted: "Gu Xiu is an Undead, destined to be a giant in the future. His future achievements will surely surpass Old Monster Mu, and possibly even get a passage quota. Old Monster Mu is tying Gu Xiu completely to the Ling Academy’s chariot."

Mu Feiyan happens to be Old Monster Mu’s daughter.

Additionally, Mu Feiyan is renowned across the Grand Cosmos World for her beauty and talent...

In any case, Mu Feiyan’s fame among the younger generation in the Grand Cosmos World is comparable to Qu Mu.

But of course, these aren’t the most crucial things. The most crucial is "immediate dowry."

Old Monster Mu, ever since many years ago when Mu Feiyan was just born, declared that one day, when Mu Feiyan is married, the dowry will be the Nine Layers of the Firmament!!!

That’s the most shocking.

What is the Nine Layers of the Firmament?

It’s the number one Secret Technique in the entire Grand Cosmos World.

That’s right.

Ranked number one.

Even among the elite of those First-Class Forces with passage quotas over billions of years, none can produce something as unbeatable as the Nine Layers of the Firmament.

The Nine Layers of the Firmament, throughout the Grand Cosmos World, only Old Monster Mu has mastered it; he hasn’t passed it onto a second person.

It’s said that over billions of years, many First-Class Forces in the Grand Cosmos World offered countless conditions to exchange for the Nine Layers of the Firmament, but Old Monster Mu never agreed.

Even the elite of those First-Class Forces considered annihilating Ling Academy just to obtain the Nine Layers of the Firmament, but later thought better of it since even if they got it, it would be a hot potato, attracting attention and targeting from other forces.

So, they grudgingly abandoned the idea.

Why does the Nine Layers of the Firmament possess such allure? Why is it so esteemed?!!!

Because it’s said that once a Martial Cultivator masters it, any martial skill, be it Mysterious Technique, Body Technique, or Soul Technique, can exponentially increase in power.

What does that mean?

Get the Nine Layers of the Firmament, and just mastering it will double your strength!

And if trained to the second layer, it might quadruple.

And so on.

Simply invincible.

Though there is talk that training the Nine Layers of the Firmament is extremely challenging, even Old Monster Mu has only mastered its Basic Entry despite a lifelong effort of tens of millions of years, still, even with just Basic Entry, doubling all martial skills, it’s... it’s enough to be extraordinary!

To be honest, if possible, Feng Qiu would trade the Saint Academy’s Zhen Academy’s Nine Great Divine Skills collectively for a single copy of the Nine Layers of the Firmament.

"Old Monster Mu is truly ruthless!" Feng Qiu exclaimed: "He’s so sure that Gu Xiu will definitely claim first place? What if there’s an unforeseen event and the Nine Layers of the Firmament falls into others’ hands?"

Even Feng Qiu had stirred some longing in his thoughts.

"Indeed! Old Monster Mu is ruthless!!! Knowing full well that this competition is likely just us three academies accompanying for a run, ending in another bruising by Gu Xiu, but still can’t help but be tempted!" Elder Guo sighed.

"Dean, so... should we agree to this competition organized by Ling Academy this time?" An elder looked towards Feng Qiu.

"Agree, even though we know it’s a trap, we must jump! After all, it’s the Nine Layers of the Firmament, we can’t miss even the slightest chance! I think Ming Academy, Jade Academy feel the same way!" Feng Qiu gritted his teeth and spoke solemnly.

The Ming Academy and Jade Academy he mentioned are respectively the Ming Divine Earth Martial Arts Academy and the Immortal Eternal Jade Martial Arts Academy.

With the Saint Emperor Martial Arts Academy and the Lingcang Buddhist Martial Arts Academy, they comprise the Four Great Academies of the Grand Cosmos World.

That is Saint Academy, Ling Academy, Ming Academy, Jade Academy.

"Dean, indeed you see it clearly, Ming Academy and Jade Academy there have intentions too." The elder chuckled bitterly: "Everyone knows it’s likely another accomplishment for Gu Xiu, but can’t suppress the temptation! It’s the Nine Layers of the Firmament!"

Feng Qiu nodded, indeed even Mu Feiyan herself is incredibly valuable. This girl isn’t just Old Monster Mu’s sole daughter, but she also possesses outstanding beauty that makes her the dream goddess of many top young talents in the Grand Cosmos World. Additionally, her talent for martial cultivation is shockingly impressive, potentially no less than Qu Mu.

Before Gu Xiu joined Ling Academy, this girl was Ling Academy’s top Monster.

To marry this girl, become Old Monster Mu’s son-in-law, and obtain the Nine Layers of the Firmament, just imagine!

Absolutely the premier stroke of luck in the Grand Cosmos World.
