14 All Gone In One Night

Tian Feng has been searching for a soul cultivation technique for almost an hour now. Finally, he found it. "God Soul Sutra"

It costs 200000 points. It pains him so much to spend those hard-earned points. But, as the saying goes, all good things always come with a high price. Thus, he reluctantly bought it.

The thought of learning this skill manually didn't even come across his mind. He immediately spent the remaining points to learn it. Since he had already spent a large number of points, add in a bit more won't make any difference.

At that moment, the surrounding energy started flowing toward his soul. Tian Feng could sense that the lost soul energy is slowly recovering. Observing the changes happening in his soul, he feels that he's gaining better control over it now.

4 hours has passed...

Tian Feng knows that the process of levelling up the soul skill has reached its last stage.

Sizzle... Sizzle!

Finally... Tian Feng has finally breakthrough to the first level of his soul cultivation. But now, there's one problem. He needed a stronger body to support his strong soul otherwise his body will disintegrate due to the immense power of his soul.

Tian Feng was feeling something off after he had reached level 1 so he had to spend more points to read the side effects of the technique. It turned out that the prerequisite to practice this technique was to have a strong body. Without a strong body, he would die.

At this point, Tian Feng hasn't practice any physical body technique yet. Although he had received a Divine Body Technique from the academy, due to him busy cultivating his movement technique and soul first, he still hasn't had a chance to take a look at the technique yet.

Knowing that this matter is urgent, he quickly grabs the divine book and throws it in the system to fuse with his 'Steel Body'.

His 'Steel Body' manual has flaws and there are many ways to fix it. One of them is to fuse two skills of the same type together. While this is all not free, his life is more important. If he was to die, then what the points of saving these points.

It's not like he can pass it on to his next generation. Not to mention that he doesn't even have the next generation to pass to.

"Ding... Congratulation fusion successful."

"Ding... Obtained 1 'Divine Steel Body' Manual."

Upon hearing the system's notification, Tian Feng quickly starts checking the new manual.

After seeing that the 'Hardened Skin' side effect is gone, he was elated. He hurriedly sits down in the lotus posture to learn the technique. Although there are new flaws, it's still acceptable. After all, the new flaws would only make him weak against fire. The second flaw is it'll be painful to practice this technique.

Quickly memorized the technique, he started to drive the Qi inside him to strengthen his body. Following the procedure carefully, he circulated his Qi faster and faster. After a short while, he senses a change within his abdomen. A sharp pain is assaulting him there relentlessly, it was excruciating.

However, Tian Feng still grits his teeth and continue. It was not that he didn't want to use the system to learn it quickly, but he didn't have enough points to do so. Otherwise, considered his life is in danger, why would he want to learn it manually.

Another 4 hours has passed...

"Ding... Congratulation on host comprehended 'Divine Steel Body' manually."

He had successfully learned it without the help of the system. With his current soul strength, this much is nothing. He's finally completed the first level of this technique.

During the process of cultivating it, his body was destroyed and remade. The skin texture all over his body has become smoother. Now he looks even more handsome.

The feeling of excruciating pain from earlier had already vanished. Having reached level 1 of Divine Steel Body, his body should be able to hold his soul for now.

Knowing that there's not much time before dawn, he halted his cultivation and stood up. Sensing the strength in his body, his 4 hours suffering was worth it. Although the cultivation of his body did not wear him out physically, the pain still took a toll on his mind.

Taking a glance outside, the sky was still dark. There's still some time before sunrise. Noticing the two manuals on the table, he picks up the Divine Punch manual and starts reading through it.

After which, he began to practice the skill. Since he had already completed the simplified version, it only took him a while to comprehended the first level of the Divine Punch skill.

"Ding... Congratulation host on successfully upgrade 'Basic Divine Punch' manually."

Upon hearing that his skill has successfully upgraded, he stops practising. There's only one more manual on the table, The Divine Sword Skill. [Divine Sword, Divine Punch, Divine Body... Does the name of every single skill from this academy start with Divine? Even the academy's name was also Divine.]

What was I thinking? Tian Feng shook his head and picked up the last manual. After which, he quickly memorized it. Although his memory is not perfect, remember something for a short time is not a problem. Furthermore, his soul is already strong enough for something like this.

Tian Feng picked up the normal sword that the academy gave him and start practising. However, after moving a few steps, he stopped abruptly. [This room is too small.]

Maybe I should go practise this skill outside.

After which, he opens his door and walks outside. The gentle refreshing breeze was rushing toward him. Tian Feng was feeling so refreshing now. When he has cultivated his soul technique earlier, his body was soaked by sweat due to the sheer pain that he was suffering.

Thus, upon walking out of his room and feels the night breeze, he instantly feels refreshed. Tian Feng looks around and only after sensing that there's no one did he start his sword practice.

The sound of the sword slashing through the air was echoing throughout the area around his dormitory. The dormitory was actually a small house separated from each other. Each house has their own small courtyard. Tian Feng was in that small courtyard practising his sword skill.

Every cultivator has their own secret. Furthermore, while cultivating, they also need to absorb Qi from the atmosphere. It was due to this that cultivator prefers to be alone when they cultivate. Thus, the academy also built their dormitory as such to accommodate their growth.

"Ding... Congratulation on host comprehended 'Divine Sword Technique' manually."

The sun has risen and the sky has already lightened. Tian Feng stopped his practice and walk back toward his room. Before he could reach his room, he saw that his friends have come out of their room.

Looking at their face, he was sure that none of them had slept last night. The trios went to have breakfast together. After which, they continue to shop for dry ration and some miscellaneous stuff before finally heading to the gathering.

Walking and chatting, they quickly lost the sense of times. Even Tian Feng is not an exception. He's completely acting like a genuine ten years old kid right now. The three of them was sharing about their progress from last night while also talking about the upcoming gathering. As they were still kids, they got along pretty well.

Forthwith a sight welcomes them. All they could see were people. There are so many people. Due to the overwhelming number of people gathered here, it was as noisy as a concert site.

Despite the overwhelming number of people in front of them, it was still spacious allowing everyone to walk around comfortably.

On their way here, they had already expected that there would be many students in the gathering but they could never have thought that it would be this MANY.

Scanning around for unoccupied spaces, Tian Feng finally found one in the corner. They swiftly walk toward the corner to wait for the start of the ceremony.

This morning, all the students of the academy, new and old, had come together in this place. They were chatting merrily with each other.

The atmosphere is so much livelier than even the entrance examination. This is an annual event. Although most people rather spend their precious times to cultivate, no one would want to miss out on this event.

There is all kind of people gathered here today. It doesn't matter whether they are weak or strong. Every year on this day, they would be gathered here. This is such an excellent opportunity to expand one's social connections.

Who would want to miss this kind of opportunity? Capable people are hard to find after all.

There are also some students who only come to look for new beauties. And those who would come just to enjoy the moments.

Tian Feng and his friends were still chatting about their experiences last night. Da Jing had read through all the books and Li'er had practised the Divine Punch.

These two were geniuses in where they come from but compare to what he achieved last night, this is practically nothing. When this thought comes to mind, Tian Feng couldn't help but feel pride and confidence welling up in his heart.

Power give rise to one's confidence. Ever since he had come to this world, Tian Feng had not met with any problem except that Firefox Spirit and the elimination exam. With his skills, everyone would look up to him and this made him feel like he's on top of the world.

He would remind himself from times to times that this power is nothing and he shouldn't be arrogant.

Hais... it's easier said than done. When it had actually happened, he quickly got swayed and forgot about his previous decision to be humble and to be modest.

Having cultivated a Heaven tier technique, the people around him look too weak. He really feels like he's the strongest person out here.

Besides, he had never actually felt this kind of power anywhere before so there's nothing he can do when his hot blood is taking over his mind.

Tian Feng had always remembered that there's always a taller mountain than the tallest mountain. There will be a strongest among the strongest. There's always exists someone stronger than you.

However, all those thoughts quickly disappeared the moment he heard about the progress of his two friends whom he had thought of as the genius.

He smirked gleefully while looking upward to the sky not sparing anyone a glance. In this eyes, those people were just the weak people that he could kill anytime he wants with a single Qi Bullet.

Back when he was on Earth, he had always dream about massacre an entire planet whenever he's angry at someone around him. At this moment, he thought that he already had the power to do so.

On his side, Li'er noticed something off about Tian Feng, she couldn't help but ask with a curious voice. "Tian Feng, is something wrong? Are you fine?"

"Hahaha... why wouldn't I be fine?" Tian Feng was about to flaunt his power when the surrounding suddenly become silent. He looked around and realized that the elders and vice principal have arrived.

"Hello, everyone! Many of you must have already known me but I'll introduce myself for the sake of the freshmen." The voice of a man who was wearing a white rope was so pleased to hear, it was not loud yet everyone in this vast area could hear it well.

Tian Feng was also astounded at this voice of the old man. It was even more pleasant than elder Bai from yesterday. [Does all the old man here have such a good voice?]

Before Tian Feng thought could run wilder, the old man continued. "I'm the vice principal of this academy, ZhongNan QiLi."

Upon hearing this, many of the freshmen who were previously oblivious to the identity of this mysterious man had their eyes gleamed with admiration and respect.

Looking at the reaction of the freshmen, ZhongNan QiLi felt satisfied. Usually, this was done by the principal. But somehow his principal passed this responsibility to him at the last minute, saying that he had some urgent matter to attend to and rushed off alone this morning.

ZhongNan QiLi didn't even get the chance to ask about anything or where he's going. Still, this left him feeling pretty good, after all, today, he would gain so much face and everyone would know and respect him even more.

The ceremony officially started.

The elders have come up one after another to announce their achievement over the past years. Then an elder came up and talked about rules, other elders also came up and talked about the Academy's agenda.

Apparently, most of the freshmen already know about all of these. The academy has stated that after joining the academy, they can either go find a master or waiting for a master to come to find them. If they have no master, they can just go to the library to study by themselves.

The academy mission was divided into 5 levels.

Easy: within the academy territory.

Normal: within the city.

Hard: within the kingdom.

Deathly: could be anywhere.

Impossible: could be anything.

If a student had completed one Deathly mission then it would suffice for an entire year. If they completed one Impossible mission then they can do nothing for 50 years. The other levels need to be completed many times to suffice.

However, not everyone can choose the level of their mission. For Tian Feng and his friends, they would need to complete 10 easy missions in a year. Furthermore, they can't choose any level higher than this unless they had a breakthrough in their cultivation.

Where there's mission, there are rewards. By following this system, the students would be more motivated to cultivate harder.

There's no classroom in the academy, however, there are many different halls for different purposes.

A hall is usually as big as one's company building or a modern high school. Although it's called a hall, it's not literally a hall. Inside each hall, there's a big courtyard and many buildings such as hall master manor which is where the hall master resided.

There's a sparring hall for sparing between students to exchange pointers and improve together. Researching hall where any kind of researches is taking place. Medicine hall which is obviously to treat patients, there's also a vast herb field inside the medicine hall. Blacksmith hall which is as its name suggested, a place where all kind of weapons and tools were coming from. Lastly, the chemistry hall which is similar to researching hall and medicine hall but it's actually different. This is where people who were focusing on cultivate pill reside.

Beside these halls which everyone has access to, there's still one big library at the back of the academy. Everyone can access the library from the ground floor until the third floor. The floor from the third until the seventh was reserved for top 100 students only. The last three floors are reserved for elders of the academy and top 10 students. The topmost floor, the 11th floor, is only accessible by the principal of the academy.

There are still other buildings such as Ancestor Temple, Honorary Hall of Fame, Weapon storage, Herb storage, Pill storage, Food storage, Dormitory, etc.

After listening to the elder's introduction of the academy, Tian Feng felt that this school is too big. It's just like a medium sized city.
