Cosmic-Level Demon God

The young man in white is Yu Li, who arrived in Heng Province several months ago.

He also stayed at the National Guest House, usually staying low-key and rarely going out.

"Is this person named Qin really that powerful?"

Chen Cai'Er barely suppressed her emotions, looking at Yu Li, poised and elegant like a jade tree in the wind, her eyes sparkling.

"It's just a championship in a hundred-strong competition, why would the Governor's Mansion go to such lengths, even delaying your return plans, Brother Yu Li."

Yu Li's voice was gentle and steady, just like his walking pace:

"You don't understand Old Martial, naturally you don't realize its value. He's not yet eighteen and has broken the Four Great Limits. If this were in ancient times, such a talent would be highly sought after by all major holy lands.

He's already surpassed more than half of the Seven Great Limits at this age. The future accomplishments are unimaginable."

Chen Cai'Er's lips slightly parted, seemingly surprised. With her fan filter for Yu Li, she always felt Qin Shi was mediocre and couldn't see any extraordinary qualities in him.

Yu Li smiled, his tone filled with open admiration:

"The most important thing is that he broke through the specialized barriers and defeated Zhou Yuanchen. This shows that not only is his cultivation fast, but his combat talent is also exceptional. A genius who is nearly flaw-free and full of growth potential is exceedingly rare. No wonder he has the arrogance to reject the Four National Universities."

The news about Qin Shi ignoring the recruitment offices of the Four National Universities spread quickly.

Central City was in an uproar, like pouring water into boiling hot oil, causing a huge commotion.

If it had been any other student from Heng Province, the Education Department would have urgently sent leaders to interview and persuade them.

After all, Heng Province only has a few spots at the Four National Universities each year, and the top students from all schools compete fiercely for them.

But Qin Shi's refusal of the Four National Universities had been out for a while, and the Education Department remained calm and silent.

"If he isn't going to the Four National Universities, is he staying in Heng Province?"

Chen Cai'Er frowned, huffing:

"My dad said that being young and reckless, disregarding others, will inevitably lead to a big loss."

Yu Li, however, shook his head, his smile warm:

"I think he's very courageous. The Four National Universities are above others and are the holy lands aspired to by many students. But we have to admit, the educational atmosphere has deviated somewhat in recent years, and those academic cliques are getting more and more rampant.

Choosing another path outside the Four National Universities might be better."

Chen Cai'Er followed closely behind Yu Li, like an attendant:

"If he doesn't go to the Four National Universities, where else can he go? The resources and strength of Qiguang Heng University can't compare to the topmost academies."

Yu Li walked leisurely, relaxing his body and mind, and said calmly:

"Just wait and see. He inherited He Lanchan's legacy and has his own path. Next, breaking the limits continuously and crossing into the specialized domain to touch the Celestial Barrier won't be a problem.

Speaking of which, this Qin fellow is probably also listed on the Scorching Sun list for direct entry to the Star Cup. I really hope to witness He Lanchan's advanced techniques."

Chen Cai'Er, full of confidence, puffed out her chest and said:

"Brother Yu Li, you're the top in the youth group, leading in points, practically a champion! How can Qin Shi compare to you?"

Yu Li lowered his head with a smile; he had long been accustomed to the praise and admiration from various people around him.

It had always been like this since he was a child, so it did not stir any waves in his heart.

"The teacher has always held He Lanchan in the highest regard all his life. He claimed that the 'Void Meditation Technique' was the first-class cultivation path for the merging of spirit and body between the Star Sea!

After He Lanchan passed away, many elite students from the Four National Universities tried to inherit his legacy but to no avail.

To say the least, Qin Shi taking up He Lanchan's 'technique' and getting acknowledgment from that Stone Buddha is enough to demonstrate his extraordinary talent."

Yu Li analyzed earnestly. After the hundred-strong competition, with Qin Shi taking first place, he had paid special attention to him.

The subsequent actions constantly raised Yu Li's internal assessment of him.

Therefore, when Ying Lin proactively sought him out, he directly refused to meet.

"The teacher once said, a dragon lies coiled, but will eventually await the rain that lets it soar to the heavens. Among the thousands of supernovas under the Star Sea, those who can break through and rise above the clouds, with the Scorching Sun rising in the east, often only need a crucial opportunity."

Yu Li went back into the house, making tea on his own:

"After observing my peers, those who give me the impression of a hidden dragon at the bottom of the abyss, destined to rise to the skies, are very few. Qin Shi is half of one."

Chen Cai'Er recalled the upright figure in the student uniform, wearing a hat, standing at the gate of the National Guest House, pondering internally:

"This guy doesn't look like a potential hidden dragon at all, lacking the genius aura."

As a deep fan follower, Chen Cai'Er always believed that a true genius should be like a firefly in the dark night, standing out in a crowd, extremely noticeable.

Like Brother Yu Li, with an extraordinary temperament, ethereal like an immortal.

In contrast, Qin Shi seemed too ordinary, even though his posture and appearance were good, lacking the overwhelming presence that makes everyone focus on him!

"Anyway, let's wait and watch the show. The Ying family bowing down to a boy from Old Factory Street on a peripheral star and choosing reconciliation is, in some ways, more explosive than Qin Shi refusing the Four National Universities' recruitment."

Yu Li sipped his tea slowly, seeing the long-term picture. Ordinary geniuses will spend their whole lives circling within administrative stars;

those slightly more outstanding might establish themselves in the Imperial Capital or Hai Province through their efforts;

but those aiming for the main stage of New Dongxia, overshadowing all the stars, becoming the blazing Scorching Sun.
