Chapter 26
The Useless Ability, Spotlight!

After making their decision, the family began to contact Ning An.

Ning An directly used some of his school connections to arrange the round-trip tickets.

He didn't even need to seek out the dean's arrangements.

Since his cultivation had reached the Fourth Rank, he had more privileges.

Arranging tickets wasn't a difficult task.

In the entire Divine Xia Federation, as one's cultivation improved, their power and privileges would rise alongside it.

This was the martial artist system that had been established over the three hundred years since the spiritual energy revival!

If he reached the Seventh Rank, he would have the authority to travel anywhere by dedicated fighter jets.

After reaching the Third Rank in martial arts, the difference in privileges and benefits for each subsequent rank was significant.

The only thing Ning An regretted was the new ability he drew this month.

It was somewhat disappointing.

【Doubled Combat Strength (Special Class): Increases one's combat strength by double, lasting for one month!】

He spent 150,000 spirit stones for this ability.

Even Ning An thought it was a bit underwhelming.

Although he felt all aspects of his body were enhanced by a special force, he knew it was only temporary.

“Actually, this ability would be much more terrifying at higher ranks," Ning An thought to himself.

For him now, a doubled strength was equivalent to some geniuses of the same cultivation level.

There was definitely an improvement, but the issue was that he now wanted an ability that could enhance his cultivation.

However, with the random draw, even Ning An couldn't control what he got.

Fortunately, he decided to enter the battlefield while his strength was amplified after stabilizing his cultivation.

Earning some extra spirit stones wouldn't hurt!

After drawing this ability, his spirit stones were already running low.

His family would arrive in two days. He would take advantage of this time to get familiar with his current strength.

The doubled combat strength had slightly decreased his control.

"Instructor Ning!"

"Instructor Ning!"

.

Along the way, Ning An became the center of attention for many students.

News of Ning An's breakthrough in cultivation had spread.

Especially on the school forum, breaking through two major realms within a few months had caused quite a stir!

Many people hadn't expected this Instructor Ning to be so powerful.

"If I had entered a year later, maybe I could have considered becoming his student."

Even some second-year students expressed their regret.

Just like with Dean Jiang, many students could see Ning An's potential.

He might be able to reach the High Rank in the future.

In the academy, there weren't many instructors who had reached the Fourth Rank at the age of thirty.

These instructors were even more sought-after than some Fifth Rank instructors.

Many Fifth Rank instructors were quite old.

They had little chance of advancing further.

On the other hand, these Fourth Rank instructors in their thirties had much more potential.

Facing these greetings, Ning An simply nodded at first, but later he felt a bit numb.

He had expected that breaking through to the Fourth Rank would have a significant impact, but he hadn't expected the entire school to know him!

It had been ten years since he entered the South River Martial Arts University.

Previously, he had always been a nobody.

He wasn't the strongest among his peers.

He chose to stay at the school because it was the best option considering all aspects.

He didn't have any backing, and his strength wasn't outstanding.

His only advantage was that he was a student of the South River Martial Arts University.

It turned out he had made the right bet!

After ten years of obscurity, he had finally become famous in the South River Martial Arts University.

One of the reasons for Ning An's rapid rise to fame was his ordinary past.

He had accumulated his strength over time and then suddenly ascended.

This gave many students at the South River Martial Arts University a glimpse of the path they needed to take.

Many students were actually quite similar to Ning An back in the day.

Instructor Ning's journey could be replicated.

Even his theories about being a "cunning dog" on the battlefield were dug up.

While it did go against the warrior's spirit, it wasn't difficult to imitate.

This was why Ning An was known by almost every student at the South River Martial Arts University.

Qing Shan Base

After making their decision, the Ning family began packing their belongings.

"Bring some local specialties from the Qing Shan Base,"

"And bring some food for our colleagues and friends, it's always good to have extra."

Ning's mother had already started preparing!

The South River Martial Arts University wasn't unfamiliar to people in the southwest region, but few had actually been there.

Even Wen Zhi Qiao was quite excited.

After all, she had dreamed of going to a martial arts university since she was young.

Unfortunately, her grades weren't good enough!

This had become her biggest regret, but now, being able to see the South River Martial Arts University was a good opportunity.

As for Ning Xiao Nian, she was mainly excited.

After all, this was her first time leaving the Qing Shan Base, and she would be flying on a plane.

As for Xue Ling Ci, there was no need to mention her.

She would be a student at the South River Martial Arts University, so she had a lot of expectations and gratitude in her heart.

Two days later!

The Ning family, carrying numerous packages, boarded the plane.

They attracted a lot of attention.

This was mainly because plane tickets were expensive, so few people traveled.

"Sister!"

"Are you going to the South River Martial Arts University or the South River Federal Military Camp?"

...

Not long after Ning's mother sat down, she started chatting with an older woman sitting beside her.

Most ordinary people on this flight were visiting relatives.

Therefore, they had a lot of common topics to talk about.

However, Ning's mother knew the importance of being low-key.

She only mentioned the South River Martial Arts University and didn't specify who was going.

She then started chatting with the older woman about other things.

She learned that the woman was visiting her son at the South River Military Camp.

Her son was a captain there.

She hadn't seen her son for a long time, so she decided to go to South River.
