Chapter 277 - 277 : The Aptitude to Become a God, Zhuqing's SR Aptitude

"A God-Aptitude Holder?"

"What is that?"

"Becoming a God?"

"Teacher Su, are you not joking?"

Shui Bing'er asked in surprise.

The graduation standard of Titled Douluo was already enough to astonish them, but then Teacher Su turned around and said he wanted to Cultivate Divinities?

"What is a Divinity?"

"Divinities are supreme beings. Only a few Divinities emerged during eras of absolute dominance."

"It is said that to the north of our Tianshui City, in ancient times, there was an unparalleled Ice Phoenix ancestor who, with her own strength, pioneered the Northern Ice Domain, ventured deep into the extreme north, and finally Cultivated into an Ice God, Ascending thereafter.

The ice trench she left in the Northern Ice Domain is the prototype of Tianshui City's largest river today—the Canglan River—which has nourished tens of thousands of Tianshui people."

Regarding the legend of the Ice God, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yueer, and Qiu Ruoshui, these Tianshui students, were all familiar with it. It was a legend passed down by word of mouth among the common people in their academy's local area.

"A casual slash creating a vast ice river? What kind of power is that?"

"I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to Cultivate to that level in my lifetime!"

Ning Rongrong clenched her fists upon hearing this, her mind deeply shaken.

Teacher Su had once said that when her Inch Punch reached Major Achievement, entering the Transcendent Realm, it could not only split mountains and cut rivers but even cleave the heavens.

At first, Ning Rongrong couldn't imagine what kind of power that was. She just thought Teacher Su was exaggerating to amuse her.

After all, even powerhouses like Grandpa Sword could only split mountains with their swords; how could they cleave the heavens?

Now, hearing Shui Bing'er speak of the Ice God's legend, where a casual act could create a vast, flowing river, perhaps Teacher Su wasn't bluffing, but truly could cleave the heavens!

"However, the path to Godhood must be incredibly difficult, requiring world-shaking Aptitude. Otherwise, our entire Tianshui Northern Ice Domain wouldn't have had only one Ice God appear in legend."

"If Teacher Su hadn't brought it up today, I would have even doubted that the Ice God legend was just a legend, and that the Ice God didn't actually exist."

Shui Bing'er continued, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Teacher Su.

Such an ethereal, lofty Divinity, one that practically no one had encountered for hundreds or thousands of years—Teacher Su actually wanted to Cultivate one?

Just how high was Teacher Su's Realm?

When they first became Disciples in Peach Garden, they were actually just admiring Teacher Su's unparalleled teaching demeanor, and at the same time, they hoped to truly learn something, Break through their own limits, and become powerhouses early.

The powerhouses in their minds were actually just Spirit Saints and Spirit Douluo of seventy or eighty levels. Reaching that Realm was already considered a first-class powerhouse in Tianshui City. They couldn't even imagine becoming a Titled Douluo within five years, let alone aspiring to the Aptitude of a God!

"Bing'er is right. Looking at the history of Douluo Continent, God-Aptitude Holders are few and far between, all of them being peerless Prodigies of their era."

Su Ran nodded, looking at them deeply:

"But how can you be sure that you are not one?"

Wherever Su Ran's gaze fell, he saw:

[Ning Rongrong, eighteen years old, Level 63 Spirit Emperor, Spirit Nine Treasure Golden Body Glazed Tile Pagoda, Indestructible Vajra Divine Art has entered the Initial Achievement Realm through Slaughter City's tempering, with killing bones and blood, and silver skin and copper bones. Overall Aptitude has reached: SSS+!]

[Zhu Zhuqing, eighteen years old, Level 72 Spirit Saint, Spirit Nine Nether Spirit Cat, forging Yama by drawing in the Qi of Slaughter City, opening the six halls with the guidance of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's evil nature, proficient in Nine Yin White Bone Claw. Overall Aptitude has reached: SR!]

[Xiao Wu, eighteen years old, Level 63 Spirit Emperor, Spirit Two-Sided Soft Bones Rabbit, crossing the Mysterious Gate by drawing in the Qi of Slaughter City, comprehending the Life and Death Dual Gates of Marquis Wu's Mysterious Gate, proficient in Mysterious Gate. Overall Aptitude has reached: SSS+.]

[Ye Lingling, twenty-three years old, Level 63 Spirit Emperor, Spirit Life and Death Withered Glory Begonia, transforming into a Black Lotus by drawing in the power of death, evil thoughts, and slaughter, wielding the thoughts of life and death, proficient in the Withered Glory Art. Overall Aptitude has reached: SSS.]

Besides these four Disciples who followed Su Ran to the Slaughter City for trials, other Disciples also basically improved their Aptitude and talent significantly:

[Wang Sheng, twenty-three years old, Level 57 Spirit King, Spirit Storm Fiend Sky Tiger, punching ten thousand times, its meaning naturally appears. Total punches over ten years reached two hundred thousand times, either on the path of punching or punching in dreams—proficient in Subduing Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist, domineering Body Refining. Overall Aptitude has reached: SSS-.]

[Dugu Yan, twenty-three years old, Level 58 Spirit King, Spirit Jade Phosphor Poison Empress, Cultivating Calamity Poison Art, refining the Body into rings with poison, judging the body with poisonous herbs. Her extreme poison can turn rivers purple and streams black, immune to all poisons, excelling in both Dragon and Snake. Overall Aptitude has reached: SSS.]

[Meng Yiran, twenty-one years old, Level 56 Spirit King, Spirit Undead Snake Staff, a talent for research, familiar with Hell artifact manufacturing, summoning Spirit Beasts as assistants, possessing the talent of one person to equal the power of thousands of troops. Overall Aptitude has reached: SSS.]

[Shui Bing'er, nineteen years old, Level 58 Spirit King, Spirit Supreme Ice Phoenix, immortal grade Body Refining, medicinal bath nourishment, frost flowing through the Bloodline, heavenly frost falling from Nine Heavens, ice turning into tendons and bones—Overall Aptitude has been upgraded to: SSS+.]

[Xue Wu, twenty years old, Level 54 Spirit King, Spirit Winter Snow Satin, immortal grade Body Refining, medicinal bath refining, subduing ice and freezing the sky, enduring ice Body calamities. Wherever she passes, it is covered in frost—Overall Aptitude has reached: SSS.]

[Shui Yueer, eighteen years old, Level 49 Spirit Ancestor, Spirit Azure Sea Jade Pig, immortal grade Body Refining, subduing water to move the universe, guiding water into the sea flow, water system calamities. Wherever she passes, long streams flow—Overall Aptitude has reached: SS+.]

[…]

Almost all Disciples' Aptitude had sublimated from the original A and B grades to SS grade and above.

And according to Su Ran's summary, S-grade to SS-grade talent is roughly equivalent to having the Aptitude to become a Titled Douluo powerhouse.

And SSS-grade talent is the so-called Divine Rank Aptitude, having at least the potential to exceed Level 100 spirit power.

And Zhu Zhuqing, currently with the highest Aptitude, has reached the SR grade with a purple-gold header, which means that as long as she continues to Cultivate according to Teacher Su Ran's rhythm, even without a God Examination, she is very likely to reach Divine Rank power based on her own potential and strength!

In other words, her potential is no less than those ancient Divinities who created God Positions.

This is also why Su Ran has the confidence to promise Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu that he has the confidence to Cultivate Divine Rank Disciples! It is also his trust in his Disciples!

Su Ran encouraged his Disciples:

"Although Teacher Su is usually very strict with you and has high demands, your current Aptitude is already beyond what ordinary people can compare to."

"Teacher Su has confidence in you, but the path to Godhood is not smooth sailing. The setbacks you will experience during it may be even more difficult than your Cultivation Technique, and you must be fully prepared."

"Disciples who believe they have this potential and have made up their minds to embark on this path can wait for me at the Peach Garden Academy."

After Su Ran finished speaking, he turned and entered the Red Maple House to check Bibi Dong's homework, who was punished to copy the'Steady Sutra' and 'Peach blossom School Motto' a thousand times.

Bibi Dong felt extremely wronged. It was the first time she had been punished to copy something in her life.

The most terrifying thing was that after Teacher Su Ran looked at one draft, cold words came out of his perfect lips:

"The handwriting is too sloppy. Copy it again. Teacher Dong, as teachers, we must set an example and adopt a proper attitude."

Outside the academy, the Disciples looked solemn, seemingly lost in thought. In the end, it was the usually playful Shui Yueer who was the first to stand up and walk towards the Peach blossom Academy…
