Return of the Ancient Gods

"Xiao Nan, do you know how I got injured this time?" Chen Pingan said with energy. Although his voice was hoarse and weak, it was powerful.

This is also what everyone present has always wanted to know: what exactly happened in the battle of Xuancheng?

Chen Ping'an is a senior of Da Chu Nan in the National Academy of Education. Like Chu Xiu, he is a genius who is dubbed as a "Star". Although his talent is not as monstrous as Chu Nan's, it is still amazing.

The most important thing is that Chen Pingan does not have a three-year gap like Chu Nan. Although Linjiang Prefecture is not very suitable for cultivation, he has always been diligent and motivated.

"..."

Chu Nan remained silent. Everyone looked at Chen Pingan intently, even Emperor Chu. Everything that Chu Xiu had shown him in the past was now null and void.

"In one move, I was defeated by Chu Xiu in one move, from the front!"

Chen Pingan said solemnly that such embarrassing things were usually difficult to talk about, especially for proud geniuses like them, but now in order to let Chu Nan recognize the strength of the other party, it didn't matter.

"In a head-on confrontation, with every move I made, holy light shone brightly. All my strength was sealed, and I was knocked to the ground..."

"I have reached the peak of the Tianxuan Realm and even touched the threshold of the Xushen Realm, but I still ended up like this..." Chen Pingan added and sighed.

When they heard this for the first time, Emperor Chu and the others couldn't help but gasp. This was probably far from his full strength.

"It is so glorious to be one of us, and so difficult to be an enemy."

“Chu Xiu has definitely crossed the threshold of the Void God Realm and reached the early stage of the Void God Realm, and his strength is much stronger than that of the average Void God Realm cultivator.

After he defeated me with one move, he summoned a huge meteorite from the sky, which buried my 15 soldiers alive. And I can say without exaggeration that his scheming and malicious thoughts are far superior to yours. "Chen Pingan said without hesitation, and finally concluded:

"With your current state, can you really defeat Chu Xiu?"

The King of Chu and the old man hung their heads and were not optimistic about Chu Nan:

If Chu Nan hadn't had that three-year gap, everything would naturally not be a problem. But now, to advance from the peak of the Shenzang Realm to the early stage of the Xushen Realm within a month, even if he has extraordinary talent, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

“Old sir, can you arrange for someone else to deal with Chu Xiu and give Xiaonan a new opponent…” Emperor Chu proposed a countermeasure. He understood that everyone would have to bear a lot of pressure, but he still couldn’t bear to let Chu Nan go to die.

General Chen Yijue wanted to refute, but Chu Nan got there first and said with a smile:

"Don't bother, he's just a false god, I can definitely kill him!"

After comforting Chen Pingan, Chu Nan turned around and left, waving his hand high.

“No matter who he is or how strong he is, I will be responsible for teaching him that if he does something wrong, he must pay the price.

Brother Ping An, I will make him pay back your revenge and the revenge of the soldiers who died unjustly. Otherwise, where is justice and how can the heroic souls rest in peace? Blood debts must be paid with blood!"

Although Chu Nan acted very calm, the anger in his heart was beyond description. His eyes were bloodshot and there was a little demonic energy in the corners of his eyes.

Climbing up the city wall and looking out over the ghost town-like capital, Chu Nan remained silent:

The ever-lit lights illuminate the capital, and the lights lead the souls home;

The cold night is so unbearable, I am afraid that people will lose their way.

"I'm sorry, Xiaonan! This time it's your uncle who has caused you such trouble. If I had listened to you at that time, there wouldn't have been the tragedy later, and the lives of 15 soldiers..." At some point, the King of Chu came to Chu Nan's side, sincerely confessed, and handed him a page of history book.

Also appearing was old man Chen Hezhi.

"I will take care of this. This is the mission I have to shoulder. Even if I escape once, the hatred has not ended and tragedy is inevitable." Chu Nan said softly, and then changed the subject to ask Chen Hezhi:

"Uncle He Zhi, I will take care of Chu Xiu myself, but I don't want it to end so easily this time. Can you help me plan something?"

Chen Hezhi understood what he meant and agreed readily:

"Since you said so, there is of course no problem!"

……

After resting for two or three days, the toxins in his body were cleared, and Chu Nan began to seize the time to practice and prepare to fight Chu Xiu.

The most urgent task is to break through to the Tianxuan realm and seek ways to break through the difficulties. Chu Nan came to the National Education College again.

"I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you in person. I guess the prince came here today for the Heavenly Dao Monument, right?" Dean Chu came out to welcome Chu Nan at the first time. After the incident with Chu Xiu, he received the order from Emperor Chu, so he naturally understood the purpose of Chu Nan's visit today.

"Dean, you are too polite. Although I have graduated from this National Education College, I still have to respect my teachers. I don't deserve it." Chu Nan greeted him respectfully without any concealment.

"Yes, I came here just for the Heavenly Dao Monument. I'm afraid there is no place in the entire capital that is more suitable for comprehending and breaking through the Heavenly Profound Realm than here."

"The National Education Academy is not only open to students, but also to other people in the Great Chu Dynasty. Please come in!" Dean Chu extended his hand as an invitation and welcomed Chu Nan with a smile.

To cultivate outstanding talents and serve the country, this is the purpose of the National Education College, but since Chu Xiu's incident, a lot has changed:

In the past, we only focused on cultivating talent strength and realm, but now the cultivation of loyalty cannot be left behind.

Chu Nan, under the leadership of Dean Chu, went to the Heavenly Dao Monument and encountered an unpleasant incident on the way:

A group of students kept smashing things, and one of them went even further and smashed the "Star" medal of honor awarded to him by the academy into pieces.

His name is Zhu Ziming. He is at the peak of the Shenzang Realm and is preparing to graduate from the National Education Academy. He originally longed for the title of Tianxing, but everything came to nothing after Chu Xiu's treason.

The National Academy of Education has established a talent list to encourage students to compete and surpass each other. Among them, those with the best talent and the strongest strength are ranked as "Demon Stars" and "Heavenly Stars".

Chu Xiu was once given the name "Sky Star".

Zhu Ziming has always ranked among the top three among his peers, only his realm is slightly lower and he missed the double star title. He missed it in the last battle, when he was at the critical moment of breakthrough.

Now that there is a vacancy, the academy arranged him to be the next in line, but he was ashamed to have the same title as Chu Xiu, so this scene happened.

Seeing Chu Nan and Dean Chu coming, everyone else stopped what they were doing, except Zhu Ziming who was still not satisfied.

"Well, no one can see you doing these things, and they won't scold you to death. Your resentment now is just self-defeating." Chu Nan couldn't bear it any longer, so he said:

"If you are really angry, then turn your anger into strength and vent it on the enemy on the battlefield!"

Inspired by Chu Nan, the other students suddenly realized and nodded continuously, but Zhu Ziming was the only one who stood there like a wooden stick.

Chu Nan was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Ziming:

"Senior, Chu Xiu has shamelessly promised to fight us in a month. That will be the time for us to fight to the death with Beiyan. Senior, you will lead the army to fight in person, right?"

Chu Nan paused for a moment, understood Zhu Ziming's meaning, and said without turning his head:

"Of course! But if you want to go on a war with me, your current strength is far from enough. You should practice diligently and improve your strength first."

Zhu Ziming was not at all discouraged by Chu Nan's words. Instead, he was greatly encouraged and shouted at the top of his voice:

"My talent is not bad to begin with. I can still do it with some hard work. I will definitely be able to catch up with you, senior!"

Chu Nan didn't say much, and walked away slowly, chatting with Dean Chu about Zhu Ziming.

"What a vigorous young man. Dean Chu, how was my performance just now?"

"Yes, you have grown a lot in these three years." Dean Chu commented meaningfully, without looking at Chu Nan, acting as if nothing had happened.

He specifically mentioned the past, and Chu Nan smiled bitterly, but he couldn't see clearly:

Before the incident three years ago, Chu Zhesheng also supported King Kang and thought about taking action against himself, but they reached a deal and changed their approach.

What is Chu Zhesheng’s position and opinion now?
