High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 687

Chapter 687: Chapter 370: Demigods of Blue Star
 

Normally, above the Dean, there would be several Vice Chancellors, among whom one would be selected as the Executive Vice Chancellor.

As far as he knew, the several Vice Chancellors of the university had been competing for this position for several years now.

How had it suddenly become his turn?

Dean Hai immediately sent a message to Star Master Yue Hui to find out the reason.

“The appointment was made today by the newly appointed Blue Star Leader and Starfire Chief Hall Master,” Star Master Yue Hui replied directly: “Hai Yi, in fact, given your relationship with Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang, you could have taken on the role of Executive Vice Chancellor years ago.”

Hai Yi knew exactly who the ‘Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang’ mentioned by Star Master Yue Hui was.

Fang Hai!

That was the Seven Star Chief Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall, now a top three force within the Seven Star Alliance.

Dean Hai and Fang Hai had once weathered life and death together as a team of Martial Artists, which was the reason for their extremely good relationship.

But not many people were aware of this connection.

“Only, at that time, you had just made a breakthrough and were not experienced enough.”

“Now, in terms of strength and experience, there should be no problem with you serving as Vice Chancellor of Kunlun Martial University,” conveyed Star Master Yue Hui: “Moreover, if the new Chief Hall Master didn’t appoint you, it would be quite strange.”

Newly appointed Blue Star Leader? Dean Hai was confused.

That was the top leader of Blue Star, generally taken on by a Semi-Divine, with thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors on Blue Star. What could this possibly have to do with him?

“Who is the new Blue Star Leader?”

Dean Hai asked, puzzled: “I remember, wasn’t the previous Blue Star Leader also served by Soylo Semi-Divine?”

“It’s Star Master Li Yuan.”

“That’s your good student,” replied Star Master Yue Hui directly: “I only just received the notification from Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Star Master Li Yuan is one of the stronger ones among the Semi-Divine Intermediate Rank, and should already have been promoted to First Rank Star Master.”

“First Rank Star Master? Li Yuan?” Hai Yi was somewhat stunned.

The newly appointed Blue Star Leader was the just-appeared Li Yuan?

The appointment for the Executive Vice Chancellor earlier, was it also made by him?

This! This!

“Fine, old Hai,” Star Master Yue Hui sent with a chuckle: “You and Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang have always had a great relationship, and now Chief Hall Master Li is your student… Your lucky break has arrived. From now on, if I ask for your help with some matters, you can’t turn a blind eye, okay?”

“Hmm,” Hai Yi responded somewhat randomly, then disconnected the communication; his mind was still a bit clouded.

He knew Li Yuan was incredibly powerful, even capable of slaying Semi-Divines.

But there was a difference between slaying a Semi-Divine and taking on the role of Blue Star Leader and becoming a First Rank Star Master.

“It is said that the Semi-Divines Li Yuan killed were just those who had recently ascended,” he thought.

“Yet he was granted the title of First Rank Star Master.”

“Doesn’t this mean that Li Yuan is now one of the top ten beings in the entire civilization?” thought Hai Yi to himself: “Li Yuan is only 27 years old, too.”

Less than thirty, and standing at the pinnacle of civilization?

“Hmm, I should find time to see Li Yuan again,” Hai Yi said: “He is currently gathering with his family, so I’ll wait until the afternoon to go meet him.”

Hai Yi had helped Li Yuan many times before.

But in his heart, he was well aware that Li Yuan was only his disciple in name, and their emotional bond wasn’t that deep.

“I can’t be putting on airs as a teacher,” Hai Yi thought to himself: “From now on, I need to be even more low-key, and not publicly promote my relationship with Li Yuan.”

He wasn’t in a rush to sign the contract on the virtual network.

He decided to see Li Yuan again first.

…

“This Hai Yi, really has good luck,” murmured Star Master Yue Hui, who was thousands of kilometers away: “First Fang Hai, and now Li Yuan, he’s really hit the jackpot.”

“Fortunately.”

“I had the sense to recognize my place when he was under my command for those years, I haven’t offended him,” said Star Master Yue Hui to himself.

He knew that in terms of strength, Hai Yi was not his match.

But sometimes, it’s about luck… And clearly, Hai Yi’s luck surpassed his own.

“Maybe in the future, I can also offer guidance to some young geniuses? Make some good karma?” Star Master Yue Hui thought to himself.

…

Shortly after Hai Yi received the appointment, in a very special space within the Blue Star virtual network.

From the outside, this entire space appeared to be a huge black stone.

This place was a mysterious location within the Blue Star virtual network, unknown even to some so-called ‘administrators’.

The Black Stone Forbidden Area was the ‘Supreme Council’ meeting place of Black Stone Martial Hall within the Blue Star virtual network, only accessible to Flying Heaven Warriors.

Today, within the highest level of the Black Stone Forbidden Area.

A massive screen emerged.

Within the screen appeared the figure of Lant Semi-Divine, looking at the other side.

“Elder Lant,” a middle-aged white man with fiery red hair spoke with respect: “I will definitely follow your instructions, set a good example, and fully cooperate with Li Yuan to make a contributions to the defense of Blue Star.”

“Please rest assured.”

“However, although Li Yuan is powerful, comparable to me, and his potential for the future is limitless… he is still young. If some things do not adhere to the rules, I will not comply entirely,” the middle-aged white man said solemnly: “I will consider the interests of the Martial Hall and even the overall situation of the whole Alliance.” “I hope Elder Lant you can understand this point.”

“Soylo,” Lant Semi-Divine looked at the middle-aged white man, naturally picking up on the dissatisfaction in his words.

“I know you’re not pleased.”

“By usual standards, after Bai Shan stepped down, you should have been appointed as Blue Star Leader, your strength and experience were sufficient.” Lant Semi-Divine shared: “When Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang stepped down and you served temporarily as Blue Star Leader… and then you had to step down, indeed, it was not very kind.”

“But, this is the arrangement of the Chief Alliance Leader, and you must comply,” Lant Semi-Divine said to the white middle-aged man.

“Understood,” Soylo Semi-Divine nodded. He seemed not to oppose it but did not state anything further.

Lant Semi-Divine sighed inwardly, knowing the other harbored resentment.

Anyone who experienced such a thing would feel resentful.

But nobody could defy Dongfang Ji’s orders—even he couldn’t.

Similarly, he couldn’t forcefully command Soylo Semi-Divine, either.

The other was a Level 44 Semi-Divine, who could possibly break through to Semi-Divine Peak at any time. He was also an important member of the Seven Star Civilization’s military strength and had earned considerable merits for the civilization.

Such a Semi-Divine deserved a certain level of respect.

“Position is not important; what’s most important is strength,” Lant Semi-Divine finally advised. “You are the most likely in our Black Stone Martial Hall to become Semi-Divine Peak. Do not slacken.”

“I understand,” replied Soylo Semi-Divine.

Then, Lant Semi-Divine terminated the communication.

Soon.

Hisss~ Hisss~ In the hall, a vast array of light converged, rapidly forming two figures.

One was a figure clad in a golden robe, tall and handsome, dazzlingly brilliant.

The other was a woman dressed in black, surrounded by a hazy glow of fire, appearing quite mysterious.

“Kuba, Selvie, you two have arrived,” Soylo Semi-Divine said softly.

The three of them.

Were the Black Stone Martial Hall’s three Semi-Divines in Blue Star, naturally very united.

“Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang and Chief Hall Master are unfair!” Kuba Semi-Divine, who shone like the sun, growled, “Big brother, you are clearly the strongest, only one step away from Semi-Divine Peak. Even Bai Shan, if not for the Chief Alliance Leader’s favor in giving him a Divine Artifact, might not be your match… I have no objections about Li Yuan becoming the Starfire Blue Star Main Hall Master, as that’s an internal affair of the Starfire Martial Hall.”

“But why is he directly getting the position of Blue Star Leader?”

“Directly asking you to resign and then handing it over to him, how does that make any sense?” Kuba Semi-Divine said in a low voice.

“They hoped I would resign, they discussed it with me, and I agreed,” replied Soylo Semi-Divine.

“Hmph!”

“Would anybody believe that if you said it out loud?” Kuba Semi-Divine scoffed. “What merits does he have for Blue Star? In terms of merits, in terms of strength, on what grounds does he surpass you?”

“When they need you, they let you hold multiple positions. But as soon as someone else can take over… they just kick you to the curb. Was this discussed during the Alliance conference? I refuse to accept it!”

“Kuba,” Soylo Semi-Divine frowned and said, “In terms of strength, Li Yuan is not inferior to me, and with his potential, he might become Divine in the future… Some things should only be said among us and not out there.”

“Big brother,”

“You consider the bigger picture and are willing to give up the position of Blue Star Leader, but this goes against the rules,” Kuba Semi-Divine said coldly. “I will not accept it, even if he Ascends to God.”

“Kuba,” Soylo Semi-Divine found it to be a headache.

Kuba Semi-Divine, having broken through to Semi-Divine Middle Rank not long ago, was powerful but extremely headstrong.

“If you don’t accept it in your heart, you still have to endure,” Soylo Semi-Divine said. “The Semi-Divine conference is coming up soon. Bai Shan and Dantai Fenglie will be attending, and you must not show any of this, understood?”

“Big brother, I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but I won’t be attending this Semi-Divine conference,” said Kuba Semi-Divine in a deep voice.

Then,

Whoosh~ Kuba Semi-Divine’s figure vanished abruptly, clearly cutting off the virtual network connection.

“This guy,” Soylo Semi-Divine sighed, rather helplessly. “Selvie, you will accompany me.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to big brother,” said the woman in black, nodding. Her temperament was mild; she seldom involved herself in internal affairs of the Martial Hall.

But the three Semi-Divines of the Black Stone Martial Hall were very united.

“Hmm?”

“Bai Shan Semi-Divine has sent a message.”

“Xia Country time, ten o’clock at night, a Semi-Divine conference will be convened,” said Soylo Semi-Divine.

…

Kunlun Martial University.

Inside the villa where Li Changzhou lived, Li Yuan was already gathered with his uncle and aunt for dinner.

Aunt Chen Hui was extremely happy about Li Yuan’s return, and the family was chatting together.

“If you don’t accept it in your heart, you still have to endure,” Soylo Semi-Divine said. “The Semi-Divine conference is coming up soon. Bai Shan and Dantai Fenglie will be attending, and you must not show any of this, understood?”

“Big brother, I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but I won’t be attending this Semi-Divine conference,” said Kuba Semi-Divine in a deep voice.
