Chapter 118: Natural Chasm
When Jiang Tian heard the name Ji Qiudao said, his first reaction was whether he had misheard it.
The Best Taste Plan?
Was this name serious? No joke?
---
"Do you know the original name of the Xinhuo Bureau?" Zhou Shang suddenly asked, seeming to recall some distant memories.
Jiang Tian shook his head slightly.
But judging from the training plan name Ji Qiudao had just created for him…
---
"Good Baby Sunshine Cultivation Bureau."
When Zhou Shang uttered this name, his face turned red.
---
Back then, Ji Qiudao was not yet the strongest human.
Many people of the same generation and at the same level as him had established their own organizations to train new talents.
There was competition between them.
Although Ji Qiudao's organization always achieved the best results, it also meant that the title of "Good Baby Sunshine Cultivation Bureau" ranked first—with them.
---
At that time, other geniuses were introduced as:
"The Pride of the Thunder Tribe."
"The Elite Soldiers of the Dawn Battalion."
But them?
They were called a bunch of "good kids."
What a joke!
---
It wasn't until later, when everyone grew up, that they insisted on changing the name.
Finally, the Xinhuo Bureau was officially established.
---
As Ji Qiudao's influence faded in the Xinhuo Bureau, its system evolved year by year.
Today, it had become a special organization dedicated to training human geniuses.
The Xinhuo Bureau did not interfere too much nor demand contributions from those it nurtured.
Instead, its focus was to evaluate each genius's progress, adjust resource allocations, and assign appropriate training tasks.
---
"Don't you think this name is fitting and meaningful?" Ji Qiudao asked Jiang Tian and Zhou Shang.
He was very satisfied with the name he chose himself.
---
It had a simple meaning—
He hoped that Jiang Tian could pursue his dream, and that every dish he made in the future would taste amazing.
After explaining his design concept, Ji Qiudao gave Jiang Tian a thumbs up, his eyes full of anticipation.
---
Jiang Tian smiled.
Although the name was strange, at least the intentions behind it were good.
---
He appreciated these senior powerhouses of the human race.
Everyone he had met so far was tolerant and took good care of the younger generation.
Jiang Tian didn't say much—
All he could do was continue working hard and prove himself through his actions.
Everything would fall into place naturally.
---
Moving Forward
"Alright, we've eaten, and we've met the person. The next step is to make arrangements for the child," Ji Qiudao said.
His plan was to contact several trusted figures who held important positions in the human race.
If he informed them in advance, many things would become easier in the future.
---
Ji Qiudao waved goodbye to Jiang Tian and Zhou Shang.
Before leaving, he walked over to Jiang Yuan and Liu Fang, who had been watching from afar.
---
At first, when Jiang Yuan and Liu Fang saw Ji Qiudao, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Even when they saw him chatting casually with Jiang Tian and Principal Hongwu, they didn't dare approach.
---
After all…
Until now, Ji Qiudao was just someone they had only seen on TV, read about in books, and heard about in legends.
A living legend.
A man who was the spiritual pillar of humanity, standing right in front of them.
If they told anyone about this, who would even believe them?
---
When Ji Qiudao walked towards them, the couple felt completely at a loss.
Their hands awkwardly fidgeted, unsure where to place them.
---
Ji Qiudao extended his hand.
As if possessed by an unknown force, Jiang Yuan and Liu Fang instinctively stretched out their hands and shook his firmly.
---
"Thank you both for bringing such an incredible child into this world," Ji Qiudao said.
"For raising him with such care, and for nurturing his wonderful character."
"Because of this, you two can be considered heroes of humanity."
---
After saying this, Ji Qiudao gently shook their hands.
---
The couple was so overwhelmed that they couldn't even speak.
Their mouths opened, but no words came out.
---
After Ji Qiudao left, Jiang Yuan and Liu Fang felt like they were dreaming.
---
"What a pity! We can't tell anyone about this!" Liu Fang sighed after a long moment.
They were naturally happy because of their son.
Being able to meet Ji Qiudao in person and even shake hands with him was unbelievable.
---
But they were also frustrated—
Because this was a secret.
They couldn't tell a soul.
---
Jiang Yuan patted his wife's shoulder, smiling.
"It's enough that our son is doing well."
"A tall tree attracts the wind. There's no need to show off."
"Besides, we're just ordinary people. Being able to witness our son's achievements is already a great blessing."
---
Hearing this, Liu Fang nodded, still feeling as if it were all a dream.
---
Jiang Tian's Next Challenge
At this moment, Zhou Shang spoke up.
"Things are good now. It won't be a problem to open a major just for you."
He sighed, shaking his head.
---
"Originally, I wanted to keep you hidden, to avoid drawing too much attention."
"But what happened in the Huotang Small World was just… too much."
Zhou Shang looked at his disciple and kept shaking his head, a complicated mix of emotions on his face.
---
This was too ridiculous!
---
Even knowing Jiang Tian's terrifying talent, being mentally prepared, and accepting the truth—
It was still too much to handle.
---
He was at the 1st level of Awakening and killed a 4th-level Fire Feather Clan elder.
What kind of person does that?!
---
A New Problem
"Once we arrive at Hongwu University in Xingcheng, I foresee some trouble," Zhou Shang said.
---
Jiang Tian raised an eyebrow.
"Trouble?"
---
"You should know that cultivators are aggressive and competitive by nature," Zhou Shang explained.
"Every year, new students go through trials and challenges."
"It's a tradition."
---
Jiang Tian nodded slowly.
"So, Teacher, are you worried that I'll suffer when school starts?"
---
Zhou Shang sighed heavily.
---
"Suffer?"
"No, my little ancestor."
"I'm not worried about you at all."
