Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 156: Chapter 153: A Top-Tier Rank 7 Prodigy of 4 Paths? The Empress Can’t Be Bothered to Look

Because Li Wenbo and his group were so lousy, the testing was moving along quite quickly.

Gu Yuexi estimated that it would be her turn in about five minutes.

But right at that moment,

a figure appeared silently at the very front of the line.

He was a young man who looked to be around thirty, with a gentle and refined bearing and a warm smile on his face.

He exuded no earth-shattering aura, but merely standing there, he seemed to have merged with the world around him, giving off an impression of profound, unfathomable depth, like a mountain one could only look up to in awe.

He smiled gently at the crowd and said apologetically, “Pardon me. Something urgent came up, so I’m cutting in.”

With that, he turned to the staff member handling registration. “Excuse me, I’d like to take the test now.”

The staff member merely glanced at him before immediately and respectfully standing up, giving a firm nod without another word.

Several people in Li Wenbo’s group still hadn’t taken their test. Seeing this, they were all dumbfounded.

’What’s going on?’

’He just cut in line? Does he have no respect for the rules at all?’

Although they were furious, the unfathomable and terrifying pressure of the young man’s Mental Power kept them from daring to even fart in protest.

After the man went inside, Mu Yunfei said with a sigh, “Everyone, don’t be upset. We can’t stop someone like him from cutting in line. Let’s just wait a little longer.”

Seeing their confused looks, he explained:

“His status is quite special. His name is He Qianfeng, an alumnus who stayed on after graduation. Hong Kong University wants to groom him to become a professor.”

“When Senior He first enrolled, he was already a peerless prodigy who overshadowed his entire generation. Throughout his four years of university, almost no one could even come close to him.”

“He’s been here for ten years since graduating and has already reached the Seventh-Grade Realm.”

Li Wenbo frowned. “Seventh-Grade? Seventh-Grade what? Array Master?”

In the Capital City, a Seventh-Grade of his age wasn’t common, but it wasn’t unheard of either, so Li Wenbo wasn’t particularly shocked.

Mu Yunfei chuckled.

“Array, Warlock, Feng Shui, and Mind Master… He cultivates all four, and he’s Seventh-Grade in every single one!”

“???”

’The hell?’

Li Wenbo and the others were completely floored, staring blankly at the refined young man, their eyes filled with utter astonishment.

Ten years since graduation meant he was under thirty-five.

At that age, reaching the Seventh-Grade Realm made you a prodigy, but it wasn’t completely off the charts.

However, reaching the Seventh-Grade in four different cultivation paths was another matter entirely! That was outrageously, insanely talented!

You have to understand, you can’t be called a Seventh-Grade Array Master just because your Mental Power has reached the Seventh-Grade and you know a little something about Arrays.

The title of Seventh-Grade Array Master has extremely stringent requirements. At a minimum, you must be proficient in five different types of Seventh-Grade Arrays, your comprehension of Arrays must be at a Seventh-Grade level, and you must be able to easily dismantle most Arrays below the Seventh-Grade!

The other cultivation paths have their own similarly demanding standards as well—none of them are easy!

An ordinary genius would already exhaust all their time and energy just to specialize in a single path, using other disciplines only for support.

To master four paths, all to the Seventh-Grade…

There was only one word to describe such a person—

A monster!

“W-With that kind of talent, how far did he get in the Glazed Tower back in the day?” Ouyang Yunhe stammered, his voice trembling.

Mu Yunfei’s eyes filled with even greater reverence. “Back then, when Senior He had just enrolled as a freshman, he cleared the Fifth Floor right away, stunning all of Hong Kong University! Later, in his junior year, he had a fortuitous encounter that caused his Mental Power talent to evolve, and he broke through the 6th Floor in one fell swoop!”

“But… for the ten long years that followed, he was stuck fast on the seventh floor. No matter how many times he tried, he couldn’t make an inch of progress.”

Ten years!

’Even a monster of his caliber was stuck for a whole decade?!’

Li Wenbo and the others were completely numb with shock.

They felt as if their understanding of the world had been shattered and rebuilt so many times today that it was on the verge of collapse.

“But… Young Master Mu, didn’t you just say that the highest record for the tower was clearing the seventh floor?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

A look of profound longing appeared on Mu Yunfei’s face. “Yes. In two hundred years, the only person to ever clear the seventh floor of the Glazed Tower was that one individual…”

“Today, that senior is one of the twelve Emperors of Hong Kong Island, a truly formidable figure!”

An Emperor-level Powerhouse!

It dawned on everyone. So that was the story.

’It seems the results from this Heart Sea Glazed Tower really do predict one’s future achievements!’

While they were still reeling from the shock, Senior He had already stepped into the Glazed Tower.

VMMMM—! VMMMM—! VMMMM—!

In the next instant, the first through sixth floors of the Glazed Tower lit up in succession, bursting forth with a dazzling, brilliant radiance almost simultaneously!

It happened so fast that no one had time to react!

The entire square instantly fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.

All eyes were locked onto the pagoda, now lit up to the sixth floor, and everyone’s breathing grew shallow and quick.

Everyone knew that this legendary senior, after ten years of silence, was here today to break the record!

Time ticked by, second by second.

The atmosphere in the square grew heavier and heavier.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the miracle to happen.

After about half an hour, just as the tension had reached its peak…

VMMMM—!!!

The seventh floor of the Glazed Tower—its walls silent for untold years—suddenly erupted in an unprecedented, magnificent blaze of light!

The light was like a descending sun, instantly illuminating the entire square and so piercing that no one could keep their eyes open!

’He broke it!’

’The record… has been tied!’

“WOOOOOOOH!!!”

“He broke it! He really broke it! Senior He is incredible!!!”

“Holy shit! We’re witnessing history, guys! Hong Kong University is about to produce another future Emperor-level Powerhouse!”

After a moment of stunned silence, the entire square erupted, submerged in a deafening flood of cheers and shouts!

Every Hong Kong University student was overcome with elation and excitement, as if they themselves had just broken the record!

Soon, He Qianfeng’s figure was teleported out of the tower.

His face was ashen, his Mental Power clearly depleted, but his gentle eyes shone with an inexpressible excitement and ecstasy!

’Ten years!’

’It’s been ten whole years!’

’This Heart Demon that has plagued me for a decade… today, I finally shattered it with my own hands!’

“Congratulations, Senior He!”

“You’re amazing, Senior! You’re destined to become an Emperor!”

Countless people surged forward, surrounding him, their voices a constant stream of congratulations and flattery.

And amid all this clamor and excitement,

one figure seemed completely out of place.

Gu Yuexi glanced over at He Qianfeng, who was being hailed as a hero by the crowd, but not a single ripple of emotion disturbed her cool, phoenix-like eyes.

She simply began to walk, and in a corner noticed by no one, she silently entered the Glazed Tower, which had now returned to its tranquil state.

’I couldn’t care less about all this fuss.’

’The [Soul Sea Dao Seal] on the ninth floor… I’ll be taking that!’
