Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws Chapter 1129

Chapter 1129: The Weakest Heavenly Champion Is Chu Kuangren? Maybe I Overestimated Him
Conflict happened everywhere in the Immortal World.
As one of the ancient immortal orthodoxies, Hundred Academy completed its merger earlier than others and was developing steadily.
The nineteen Heavenly Champions of the academy were also growing stronger in secret.
Although they were cultivating secretly, they were still the Heavenly Champions. That alone attracted a lot of attention.
Most of the Heavenly Champions had more or less shown their strength in public before, and so, as people grew to know them, a list was formed by interested parties to measure each of the Heavenly Champion’s strengths. The ranking list was arranged according to the strength they displayed.
However, no matter what the ranking was, it was hard to convince everyone of it because a Heavenly Champion’s strength was difficult to measure.
No one had seen a Heavenly Champion displaying his or her full strength before, and since no limits were met yet, it was only natural that no one knew exactly how powerful they were.
If their true strength remained unknown, how could they be arranged based on their strength?
Therefore, the ranking list only garnered attention for a while before it was forgotten.
One thing worth noting was that no matter how the Heavenly Champions were ranked, there was one particular Heavenly Champion who ranked the last.
It was Chu Kuangren of Planquilon Academy.
There were two reasons for that.
First, Planquilon Academy was the weakest branch out of the nineteen branches, and as its representative, it was natural to assume that Chu Kuangren was the weakest.
Second, Chu Kuangren was the youngest. According to those interested parties, they estimated that Chu Kuangren was around five hundred years old or less.
Most people thought that, given similar circumstances and the same level of talent, the determining factor would be the cultivator’s age. The longer one cultivated, the stronger one would be.
Chu Kuangren, who came from Planquilon Academy, was the youngest, so he was assumed to be the weakest Heavenly Champion....

The rumor spread among the academy, but most of the time, it remained as whispers.
After all, the weakest among the Heavenly Champion was still a Heavenly Champion, and his status was far higher than the common academy students. All the Heavenly Champions were prioritized by the academy to be raised into the future contender of the Battle of Heavenly Champions.
…
Back at Planquilon Academy, Chu Kuangren got ready and left for an outing.
He was going to visit the biggest and deemed the strongest branch of the academy, the White Deer Academy.
“So this is the Scripture Sea of White Deer Academy?”
Chu Kuangren stared at the library archive that reached clouds and lamented. A hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
The reason he stayed in Hundred Academy was for this Scripture Sea, which was far bigger than that of the Planquilon Academy.
A long time ago, Chu Kuangren had understood that knowledge equaled power, to commoners and cultivators alike.
With White Deer Academy having such a huge Scripture Sea, he had to visit them.
Besides, as one of the academy’s Heavenly Champions, one of the perks he gained was the right to enter different academies at will and access their Scripture Sea for study.
“Look. It’s Chu Kuangren, the last Heavenly Champion!”
“He’s really handsome!”
“I know, right?”
Many of White Deer Academy whispered to each other, especially the female cultivators whose eyes glimmered like stars as they stared at him.
Chu Kuangren had quite the reputation in Hundred Academy. After all, he was a Heavenly Champion, and despite being called the weakest, his looks preceded his reputation, which won him a bunch of female fans.
Out of the nineteen Heavenly Champions, Chu Kuangren had the most female fans, and it was widely talked about.
Under many pairs of admiring eyes, Chu Kuangren entered the White Deer Academy’s Scripture Sea. The vast collection of books in the billions was a spectacle to look at.
Chu Kuangren found a corner and used his Immortal Consciousness to read through all the knowledge available.
The first book he found was about Immortal Dao cultivation.
He had come across the same book in Planquilon Immortal World before, but the previous one was incomplete.
Most of the cultivators in Planquilon Immortal World only knew that the Immortals were categorized as common Immortal, Earthen Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and more.
Other than that, there was nothing else about the Immortals in that world.
Now, Chu Kuangren had gotten the complete knowledge with the book he found in this Scripture Sea. There were more ranks above Heavenly Immortal, starting with True Immortal, Gilded Immortal, and then Arch Gilded Daoist Nirvana, also known as Arch Gilded Immortal. Above that would be Embodier.
An Arch Gilded Immortal was already considered the strongest of Immortals, and the Embodier, who was above the Arch Gilded, was the strongest of the strongest.
Even in ancient times, only a number of Embodiers ever existed.
As for Primordials, a rank above Embodier, only a handful had ever been recorded in history.
“Based on what I know, the current Hundred Academy’s Head Dean, the ruler of Famed Master Pavilion, is an Arch Gilded Immortal.
“Moreover, he’s one of the strongest in his ranks. I wonder whether there are any hidden Emobider among the Arch Gilded Realm,” Chu Kuangren wondered.
If there were none in Hundred Academy, what about the Celestial Demon Tribe? Would there be one there?
Without further ado, he continued reading through the knowledge in the Scripture Sea. With his inhuman cognizance, he was able to consume all kinds of knowledge rapidly.
Three years went by in the blink of an eye.
Chu Kuangren had barely cultivated for the past three years because he spent most of his time studying in White Deer Academy’s Scripture Sea.
To the others, Chu Kuangren became a reclusive nerd, which somehow matched his title as the weakest Heavenly Champion.
…
“How are the Heavenly Champions doing?”
Back at Famed Master Pavilion, the Head Dean, Mister Li, asked another famed teacher.
The teacher was in white robes. He was the scribe who inspected Planquilon Academy a few years ago. His name was Bai Rui.
Bai Rui looked at Mister Lu with respect.
In the academy, not all had the privilege to be called Mister. It was a title given to the most respectable elders, and at the same time, it was a symbol of his strength.
In the current academy, only two had earned the title of Mister. One of them was Mister Lu, and the other was Mister Zhang, who always traveled the world and was barely in the academy.
“Mister Lu, the Heavenly Champions are as usual. Bai Yun of White Deer Academy has reached Ninth-grade Earthen Immortal, and I believe it’s a matter of time before he ascends to a Heavenly Immortal,” Bai Rui reported.
Mister Lu nodded. To him, an Earthen Immortal and Heavenly Immortal had almost no difference.
However, to the other Heavenly Champions, a Ninth-grade Earthen Immortal was considered one of the best, and there were only a handful of Heavenly Immortals among them.
“The Battle of Heavenly Champions is going to be a special one. There are many powerful and promising candidates, and each of them promises infinite potential. No one knows how far they can go, but if they are one step behind, they’ll lose their momentum. Tell them to work hard,” Mister Lu said.
Then, he suddenly thought of someone. “What about Chu Kuangren?”
Bai Rui frowned at the mention of the name. “He’s still spending his time in the Scripture Sea as if he is going to read every single book in there. As for cultivation, I haven’t seen him cultivate for as long as he arrived.”
“Is that so?”
Mister Lu furrowed his brows. The Scripture Sea was vast, and even he could not read it all.
He could not believe that with the Battle of Heavenly Champions happening, Chu Kuangren had immersed himself in reading and ignored his cultivation. It was undeniably a disadvantage to him.
“There are many books in the Scripture Sea, and it would take at least tens of thousands of years just to finish it, let alone understand everything. If he has wasted that much time in there, the battle is already over before it has even begun.” Bai Rui shook his head.
“He doesn’t know how to manage his time. Maybe I’ve overestimated him. What about the others around him?”
“Lan Yu and Chu Hong might not be Heavenly Champions, but their cultivation level has grown rapidly. They are almost on par with the other Heavenly Champions.”
“Hmm, maybe they are more worthy of our attention.”
