Chapter 1130: Scholarly Snowpeak Heart, Trouble Issues From The Mouth, Head Goes Boom

“Greetings, Master Chu.”

“Master Chu, you’re back!”

“Mmhm.”

Back at Planquilon Academy, Chu Kuangren was welcomed by the students’ warm greetings when he came back from White Deer Academy.

He nodded at every student warmly and kindly.

When he returned to his place, he glanced at the rooms of Chu Hong, Lan Yu, and the others. With his sharp senses, he noticed that their energies were growing stronger.

He nodded happily.

Then, he returned to his room and sat with his legs crossed. He was not cultivating but trying to deduce his technique.

He had spent the past few years absorbing all kinds of knowledge from the Scripture Sea because he was preparing to create his own technique.

A month later, Chu Kuangren opened his eyes. His brows furrowed as he muttered, “Creating my own technique is not easy, especially when I try to base it off my Invincible Self-empowerment Dao. It’s even more difficult than it already is.”

Based on the knowledge he acquired and his cognizance, creating his own technique should not be that difficult. The problem was to create a suitable technique based on his Invincible Self-empowerment Dao.

“Maybe I should visit the Three Clarity Daoist Sect when I have the time,” Chu Kuangren muttered.

Three Clarity Daoist Sect was a top-tier immortal orthodoxy in the current Immortal World and also the Jade Clarity Immortal Sect’s predecessor.

Like Hundred Academy, Three Clarity Daoist Sect had merged when the Immortal World converged, and they were growing stronger by day.

He wanted to visit the sect because he had his eyes on the Primeval Jade Clarity Scripture. All the three Immortal Scriptures combined might be able to give him some inspiration.

“I can also visit Honghua and see how she’s doing.”

A while ago, Gong Yue came by and brought Shang Honghua back to Three Clarity Daoist Sect to train her, and apparently, she was doing well.

“Let’s do a gacha roll first,” Chu Kuangren muttered.

“Congratulations, Host! You’ve obtained a God-tier item, the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart!”

“Scholarly Snowpeak Heart?”

Chu Kuangren tapped on his inventory with his interest piqued.

In the cultivation world, people with vast knowledge had the ability to utter wisdom with every word they said. Moreover, when the ability matured and reached a higher level, it would produce something called the Scholarly Heart.

The Scholarly Heart was a type of talent that enabled a wise person to combine and master everything he learned, henceforth increasing his cognizance.

The Scholarly Snowpeak Heart was one of the highest level Scholarly Hearts.

On top of that, if the possessor could fully develop the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart, it would further allow him to master all Scholarly Hearts.

“Scholarly Snowpeak Heart, huh? Sounds great.”

Chu Kuangren smiled happily. Ths Scholarly Snowpeak Heart was probably the best prize he had gotten in recent years.

Right after he took Scholarly Snowpeak Heart out, he could already notice the difference. In his mind, a picture of a grand snowy ridge and the sky and land covered in white snow appeared.

It felt vast but empty, which gave him a sense of intangibility that he had never felt before.

“So is this the Scholarly Snowpeak Heart? Interesting,” Chu Kuangren muttered.

He was a knowledgeable person, to begin with, and only a few could rival him. With this Scholarly Snowpeak Heart in his possession, it felt like he was born with it.

Perhaps he did not even need the gacha prize, and it was just a matter of time before he mastered the Scholarly Heart talent.

The gacha prize only sped up the process.

On the second day, he headed to White Deer Academy’s Scripture Sea as usual.

There were many students there, and none were surprised by Chu Kuangren’s visit. It had been a few years since his first visit, and he somehow became a regular.

“Look. The nerd is here.”

“Tsk tsk. Is he really planning to read all the books here? Not even the Dean can do it.”

“Hmm. If he continues to waste his time here, the other Heavenly Champions will surely overtake him.”

“Yeah. He really doesn’t know how to manage his time.”

Many doubted him.

One of them glanced at Chu Kuangren and said, “I think he can’t even defeat me now, let alone the other Heavenly Champions.”

The one who said it was none other than Lin Xian of Inksnow Academy.

It was apparent in his eyes how much he hated Chu Kuangren. He was still bothered by the insults he got several years ago.

However, since Chu Kuangren was a Heavenly Champion, Lin Xian was in no position to criticize him. All he could do was rant secretly.

“But to be honest, Chu Kuangren is really handsome. He’s the perfect match for Inksnow’s Heavenly Champion,” said the young man beside Lin Xian.

Lin Xian widened his eyes in shock and glared at the young man. “Nonsense! Chu Kuangren is a slob. He’s in no position to be compared to Inksnow’s Heavenly Champion!”

As he was feeling upset, his voice was raised, which attracted the attention of the other cultivators in Scripture Sea.

“Inksnow? The Heavenly Champion of Inksnow Academy? I heard she’s also the most beautiful woman there, and I think Lin Xian adores her as well.”

“No wonder he’s upset.”

“Too bad Inksnow’s Heavenly Champion doesn’t like him.”

As though he realized that he had overreacted, Lin Xian quieted down and wanted to leave.

That was when someone stood before him and stopped him from leaving — it was Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren had heard what he said.

“Do you know what the meaning of trouble stems from the mouth is?”

Chu Kuangren glared at Lin Xian.

“Chu Kuangren, this is the Scripture Sea. Even if you are the Heavenly Champion, you’re not allowed to start a fight here!” Lin Xian said confidently.

The Scripture Sea was an important place to the academy. Even the branch’s Scripture Sea would not tolerate violence.

Otherwise, the offender would be punished severely, including the Heavenly Champions.

“You’re right. It would be a shame to hurt all the valuable books here,” Chu Kuangren said.

Then, he pointed his sword hand sign at Lin Xian.

“What are you doing?!”

Shocked, Lin Xian felt a tremendous pressure enveloping him. Chu Kuangren’s sword hand sign was getting closer by the second, but he could not move at all, let alone dodge.

Pop.

Chu Kuangren pointed his fingers at Lin Xian’s forehead, and the terrifying pressure faded right away.

Lin Xian fell to the ground while drenched in his own sweat. Horrified, he stared at Chu Kuangren and asked, “W-What did you do?”

Chu Kuangren did not answer the question. Instead, he said, “Try to feel it.”

Then, he simply sat down in a corner and started reading.

“Nonsense!” Lin Xian grunted before he got up and left. For some reason, the lingering fear troubled him.

“Wait for me!” The young man beside Lin Xian took a glance at Chu Kuangren before he chased after his friend.

“Hah. What a pity that you’re going to die,” Chu Kuangren muttered.

…

Lin Xian strode out of the Scripture Sea with icy-cold eyes.

It was the second time Chu Kuangren embarrassed him, and this time, in public.

He was so scared that he fell to his knees and embarrassed himself in front of his peers.

“I’ll make him pay! I must go to my brother! He’s second only to the Heavenly Champion of Inksnow, and he might be able to overpower Chu Kuangren!”

He strode fast as the thought of vengeance filled his mind.

That was when he felt that something was wrong. An excruciating pain hit his body, and it got more intense with each step. The pain spread to his head, and after a bang, he lost all his consciousness.

“Lin Xian, hold up– Ah!”

The young man screamed in shock while trying to catch up to Lin Xian. Fear was written all over his face.

He had just seen Lin Xian’s head bursting into blood and brains right after he walked out of the Scripture Sea.
