Chapter 390: Perhaps There’ll Be An Accident
Lin Mingdao smiled lightly, ā€œMake a guess?ā€
Countless thoughts quickly flashed through Mu Yutong’s mind before he locked onto one of the names.
ā€œCould it be… Chu Nan?ā€
ā€œYou still remember him.ā€ Lin Mingdao nodded lightly, ā€œThat’s right, it’s him. This kid has given me a huge headache recently.ā€
Mu Yutong shook his head. ā€œI’m not concerned about how he’ll give you a headache. Tell me, is what you said true? Did he really make the hundred analysis reports in less than a month?ā€
ā€œWhat else? These are all things from the martial arts database of our academy’s Martial Arts Branch. Even if he has the chance to come into contact with one or a few martial techniques, it’s impossible for him to come into contact with more than a hundred at the same time. Therefore, these things were all made after he entered the academy. There’s no doubt about this.ā€
Mu Yutong fell silent.
After a long time, he asked, ā€œWhy are you telling me this?ā€
ā€œActually, I just want to ask you a question.ā€ Lin Mingdao’s expression became serious, ā€œTell me, is it really impossible for Chu Nan to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate?ā€
Mu Yutong frowned, ā€œWhy do you ask?ā€
…
ā€œIf it was in the past, I would believe your judgment. However, now that I’ve personally seen his shocking performance, I’m beginning to suspect that your judgment is wrong. How can a genius martial artist with such shocking talent not break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate?ā€
Apart from Lin Mingdao, probably not many people would be so straightforward in front of Mu Yutong, let alone directly doubt the judgment he had made in front of countless people.
ā€œDo you think very highly of him?ā€ Mu Yutong asked.
ā€œI’m just unwilling to give up on any possibility,ā€ Lin Mingdao said seriously. ā€œWith the powerful talent Chu Nan has displayed now, as long as he can break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, I believe he will definitely be one of the most outstanding Void Break Martial Artists below the age of 20.ā€
After a pause, Lin Mingdao added, ā€œYou know why I said that.ā€
Mu Yutong pondered for a moment and nodded. He sighed, ā€œOf course I understand. I’ve been… no, I’ve already prepared for this for the past few years. Now that there’s less than a year left, everyone will hurry. What? Do you think Chu Nan has a chance to participate in the invitation of the royal family of the Declan Empire as the representative of your Star Cloud Academy?ā€
ā€œIf he can break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, I feel that he has a lot of hope. However, if he can’t even break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, then there’s clearly no hope.ā€ Lin Mingdao had a serious expression, ā€œSo, tell me now, can he break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate?ā€
ā€œIn theory, heā€¦ā€
ā€œI don’t want to hear the theory. Give me a definite answer.ā€ Lin Mingdao directly interrupted Mu Yutong, ā€œPutting aside the minimum three months of preparation needed to deal with the invitation, he only has half a year at most. Do you think he can break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in this half a year?ā€
ā€œHalf a year? That’s definitely impossible.ā€ Mu Yutong shook his head bluntly, then sighed, ā€œActually, I think very highly of his talent. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have specially paid attention to him back then. However, you should also know that as a martial artist, it’s almost impossible to change the flaw in his body. The foundation he laid previously is too poor. No matter how outstanding his talent is, there’s only a trace of possibility of him breaking through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future. However, it’s impossible for him to break through in half a year.ā€
This time, it was Lin Mingdao who fell silent.
Mu Yutong was a Star-Grade Martial Artist, so Lin Mingdao would not doubt his judgment.
Now that he had used an abnormally certain tone to indicate that it was impossible for Chu Nan to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in half a year, it should be impossible.
However, this way, he had no choice but to give up on his previous thoughts.
After a while, he sighed, ā€œWhat a pity. If we miss this opportunity, he will definitely be more than 20 years old the next time the royal family of the Declan Empire invites him. We won’t have such a precious opportunity to wait for him in the future. Perhaps our Earth Federation will miss an important opportunity because of this.ā€
ā€œThere are many geniuses in the federation. You don’t have to pay attention to him alone.ā€ Mu Yutong shook his head, ā€œNot to mention anything else, just look at your Star Cloud Academy. There are outstanding young geniuses like Feng Mingxi and Angie Prairie among this batch of new students. Moreover, Feng Mingxi should have already broken through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, right? He’s clearly a better candidate than Chu Nan.ā€
ā€œHe’s Feng Nanshan’s grandson. No one can guarantee that Feng Nanshan won’t recommend him this time.ā€ Lin Mingdao frowned slightly, ā€œAs for Angie Prairie… she’s the only disciple of Supremacy Oville. She’ll definitely be sent. The reason why Supremacy Oville placed her in our academy this time is probably to prepare for the invitation next year.ā€
ā€œYes, your Star Cloud Academy does have some good members. If not for the fact that Tianyou is not suitable, I might have thrown him over to train.ā€
ā€œForget about that. Qi Tianyou is your proudest disciple. Why would you throw him to me? Speaking of which, with his speed of improvement, he might advance again at this time next year and become a fourth-stage Void Break Martial Artist, right?ā€
ā€œIt’s possible.ā€ Mu Yutong nodded and admitted without hiding anything.
ā€œThen, he should be able to obtain a good performance in this invitation alone. In the end, he should be able to bring back some good things for you and the federation.ā€
ā€œI hope so,ā€ Mu Yutong replied indifferently before asking, ā€œEven if we ignore Feng Mingxi and Angie Prairie, can’t your Star Cloud Academy have any other outstanding students? Must you pay so much attention to Chu Nan, a kid who can’t even break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate?ā€
ā€œIf there was, why would I have a headache?ā€ Lin Mingdao smiled bitterly, ā€œThere are a few good senior students, but none are especially outstanding. Speaking of which, this is all your fault. The true good seedlings of the federation have all been plundered by top martial artists like you. The remaining ones who came to our Star Cloud Academy are clearly inferior in talent.ā€
ā€œIf your words are revealed, do you know how much trouble it will cause?ā€ Mu Yutong teased.
ā€œOf course I know, that’s why I only say this in front of you.ā€ Lin Mingdao had a dejected expression as he waved his hand and sighed, ā€œForget it, it’s not easy to see an especially talented student like Chu Nan. I thought there would be a surprise, but you said that it’s impossible for him to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in half a year, so there’s nothing to talk about.ā€
Mu Yutong paused for a moment and suddenly said, ā€œYou don’t have to give up so early.ā€
Lin Mingdao was stunned, ā€œWhat do you mean?ā€
Mu Yutong was silent for a moment before frowning slightly.
ā€œI don’t know why, but this kid called Chu Nan always brings about accidents. Although I can determine that he won’t be able to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in half a year, perhaps… he will bring about another accident.ā€
Lin Mingdao was completely stunned.
With that said, should he list Chu Nan on the special nurturing list?
