Chapter 379: Chapter 378: Confusing Wind and Cloud Step
Two days later.
Zhang Zhiheng specially held a ceremony for Xu Lingjun.
This was also his promise to Xu Lingjun, to show appreciation for Xu Lingjun’s significant contributions to the Zhanzheng Academy during this period.
Although Xu Lingjun himself was quite puzzled...
What exactly did I contribute?
Does helping out as a tool man being showcased count as a contribution?
But this was at least Zhang Zhiheng’s intention, and he naturally wouldn’t refuse... Especially after listening to Su Huanqing’s rather sour explanation, he finally understood how high the gold content of this so-called honorary academician title truly was.
There are only three slots a year, and they are often left empty.
It requires significant achievements in technology, better to have none than to have the wrong thing...
Just like Zhong Yuebai, whose current status is second only to Zhang Zhiheng, almost a certainty to become the next Pavilion Master of the Zhanzheng Academy.
And her current title is that of an academician.
In fact, every Pavilion Master of the Four Great Academies had the title of academician as their previous title.
By making Xu Lingjun an honorary academician, Zhang Zhiheng seemed to have already handed over a small part of the Zhanzheng Academy to him.
Although he still had Zhong Yuebai above him.
But Zhong Yuebai was his wife’s teacher, this relationship essentially made them their people, not to mention Xu Lingjun is a martial artist, with a lifespan much longer than normal people, he indeed has a great hope of becoming the Pavilion Master of the Zhanzheng Academy in the future.
Even if he cannot become the Pavilion Master, just based on the status of an academician, Xu Lingjun’s status already surpasses more than ninety-nine percent of the people in the Four Great Academies.
"From now on, if you have any needs, you no longer have to go through me, no longer have to go through Instructor Zhong, just contact the academy directly yourself, with your level, no matter what your request is, it will become the top priority immediately."
Wang Qingya looked at Xu Lingjun with eyes full of gratification.
There was quite a sense of "my child is finally grown up, able to stand on his own," bringing her comfort.
And after listening to the explanations from Wang Qingya and Su Huanqing, Xu Lingjun finally understood that this identity is indeed very useful.
At least, it’s equivalent to having an imperial sword, holding this thing means he can get help from any academy at any time, no matter where he goes.
After all, the title of academician doesn’t belong to just one academy, it is only bestowed when a great advancement in technology for all of humanity is contributed.
"I thought there was nothing besides the tens of millions of allowances a year... It turns out there are these benefits too."
He suddenly realized, then appreciated the Pavilion Master’s nice gesture.
Just like that.
Xu Lingjun felt he had become like Wei Xiaobao, carrying various identities... a student of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, an academician of Zhanzheng Academy, as well as the Supreme Elder of Cuowu Sect.
If nothing goes wrong, he might even become a son-in-law of the Sun and Moon Bright Sect in the future.
He had kissed the girl, and although Miss Ji seemed a bit naive and silly, her feelings for him undeniably had no words to say.
Oh right...
There’s also the family’s future son-in-law.
He didn’t know how Li Jingjun was doing.
Seeing the date to head to the Polar Star Battlefield approaching day by day.
Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but think of her.
Previously, due to Wang Qingya’s sudden appearance, he wasn’t able to say a proper farewell to Li Jingjun... the separation was rushed.
Now that he’s going to the battlefield, how could he not say goodbye to the girl?
Though what Ji Roufeng said earlier was unlucky, Xu Lingjun felt that going to say goodbye when facing life and death risks truly showed respect for the girl.
So even though Li Jingjun mentioned it was best not to visit her at the Li Family before becoming an Upper Realm Grandmaster.
But although Xu Lingjun is not in the Upper Realm now, he has slain an Upper Realm Grandmaster, and currently can withstand a strike with seventy percent power, so the Upper Realm is not far for Xu Lingjun anymore.
Time to go.
Didn’t Jingjun also mention that the old lady thought quite well of him, always hoping he’d have children with their Jingjun?
Just like that...
Xu Lingjun took the initiative to say goodbye early, embarking on the plane trip to Yuzhang City.
And at this time, he finally experienced the pleasure of having this status.
When purchasing tickets, he only filled out and verified his position as Deputy Commander during ID verification.
The ticket purchase page immediately changed.
The most luxurious business class, yet the price was cheap to almost free.
And after he had purchased the ticket, three hours before the flight.
There was a luxury car service to pick him up, accompanied by a respectful smile from the driver, explaining that the current traffic congestion in the Imperial Capital was severe, though if he was a bit late, the plane can wait for him for a bit, for the convenience of others, it was better to set off an hour earlier.
Anyway, after arriving, he could have a nice rest in the VIP lounge, and his two cats would be well taken care of as well.
It was only then Xu Lingjun understood what the significance of a real gold and silver Deputy Commander was during wartime. It allowed the entire plane course to be changed for him.
Especially...
Xu Lingjun turned to look into the distance.
There, he could feel a strong presence... breathing evenly and lightly, it should be a female, and her approach was nimble.
Is this someone specifically assigned to protect his family?
This meant that Father Wang must have experts quietly gathering around him as well.
Plus, with the computer detection overhead...
He felt at ease to leave.
Su Xun did not allow Wang Qingya and Su Huanqing to see him off.
"Sending the gentleman a thousand miles away eventually requires a parting," besides, after their tender farewell last night, it wasn’t convenient for the two of them to travel at this moment...
Xu Lingjun said to the driver: "Let’s go!"
No luggage was needed, as all of it was already packed into the Transformation Capsule.
The Transformation Capsule was no longer a secret... He didn’t need to keep it under wraps like before.
Upon getting in the luxury car.
Along with Daxiong and Pang Hu nestled beside him.
Carrying a Level 7 Demon Beast and parading through the market, there was actually someone specially arranging things properly without causing any panic.
In the end, Daxiong was placed in a luxurious cage in the cargo hold, lined with soft cashmere that made him reluctant to move once inside.
Pang Hu also stubbornly lay in the cage refusing to leave.
Seeing the two pets well sorted, Xu Lingjun felt reassured and walked along various special pathways until he sat in his exclusive VIP cabin.
A spacious bed, and a luxurious massage sofa. Through the giant window, he could see passengers starting to hurry onto the plane.
There was no rush now.
Xu Lingjun didn’t rest, despite pulling an all-nighter, his mind was exceptionally sharp and lively.
He took out the Supreme Light Body Technique "Confusing Wind and Cloud Step," and began to study it seriously.
The Polar Star Battlefield was a battlefield, and battlefields were places where rules and reasoning mattered the least.
Even the cultivation of Light Body Technique isn’t easy, as that determines whether he can escape, so he must handle it with caution!
Training in the Light Body Technique isn’t something easy, either, just like how practicing Lightweight Step isn’t easy, for a normal human being wouldn’t even survive the first attempt as they would die.
And on the first page of the book, it writes about the cultivation of this technique, which requires a tough body to withstand the damage caused by abrupt stops due to inertia.
And it dawned on him...
This technique seemed to have been tailor-made for him.
