11 chapter 12

Despite the fact that the adults said that they arrived, the children who get off the bus discovered that there only was a plain in front of them, there were no sign that there could be a school here.

-« Everyone, come here. » call the old man toward the children.

« I present myself, I am the janitor, Mr. Mu. We will enter in the perimeter of the school, but before that you will need to be judged to be student here. » continued Mr. Mu with a neutral face, this make Xin thinks that he must have done that a lot in the past.

It surprised everyone, they already were few but the stil want to reduce the number of student and beside that normally someone was tested before coming in a bus with a school.

-« I know what you are thinking, but in the Void academy we will train everyone with the best of our capability, so every student should be worth the attention.It can happen that there was days where we didn't have any students because they all failed the test. » said the Mr. Mu with a loud voice. It immediatly raise the tension in the air which could be cut by a knife. « Your test will be simple, you just need to be able to cultivate, easy isn't it ? This will test your comprehension and if you are suited to cultivate. You may know that technichally everybody can cultivate but what you don't is that you need to comprehend a cultivation technique to cultivate. »

The three friend became a little anxious after hearing that, even if they have a good soul they could still fail.

« Each of you will have a cultivation technique suited to your martial soul, you will either receive the 'energy condensing technique' for the elementals souls, the 'hundred arms refinement' for the tools souls and, the 'potential refinement' for the biological souls. You will have 30 minutes to understand them, after you will show me to judge. »continued the old man.

« These techniques may be basics and found everywhere but if you can master them then your chance to be 'true' cultivators will be higher. Remember, the highest building have the strongest fondation. »

Hearing this, the 4 children saw the others in the eyes and each one go to a booth meant for his spirit, Xin gone to the biological booth, Leslie and Happy to the elemental booth while the fourth child went to the tool.

Taking an affiche with the technique, Xin asking the help of the system.

-« System, scan the technique improve it please. »

*Confirmed host...Scan of the technique...scan complete*

*'Potential refinement' scanned…(Low) mortal grade technique*

*Upgrade available...10 minutes needed...Confirm?*

Seeing this, Xin was extatique but before that he was intrigued by something.

-« System, how do you upgrade a technique? Will it change too much from the original, I don't want to be deemed cheating by using another cultivation technique. »

*Answer: The upgrading of the system is a purification of the technique, If a technique is faulty or is harmful toward the host, the system only calculate the best course to remove them, hence the technique is only more efficient, note that the more the technique is faulty and the lowest is your cultivation and the longer the system will calculate for the same upgraded technique. *

Hearing that, Xin was relieved and he asked the upgrade.

*Target choose: Potential refinement*

*Improvement…*

Xin sat on the floor and make as if he was trying to comprehend the technique, he doesn't want to seem suspicious, and 10 minutes later.

*Improvement completed*

*'Potential refinement' obtained*

*(Mid) mortal grade technique*

*Transfer of the cultivation technique in the brain of the Host…*

*Transfer complete*

Then the flow of happen, and Xin know exactly what to do and how to do, as if he has done it all his life.

He then began to cultivate, and as expected it was easy to do it, he felt the energy around him rush in his body, in every corner to finally going to his martial soul.

*unknown energy detected...analyzing...The energy is deemed beneficial to the body… similarity detected with the energy of the man surnamed Mr.Mu, categorizing this energy as cultivation energy?*

-« Yes. » said mentally Xin before continuing the cultivation, the more he cultivate and the more he felt his martial soul cell filling vitality and energy.

This smooth beginning in cultivation was remarked by The Who grin seeing this, he could easely see that despite the fact that Xin just began to cultivate his comprehension must be high because cultivate with almost 100 % eficiency,

And soon 20 minutes passed.

-« It's time, come to show. » me said Mr. Mu.

Xin stopped his cultivation and asked mentally the system to show his status.

Name: Shenghuo Xin

Age: 10

Cultivation (Soul Strengh): Just began ( more information needed to categorize a precise information)

Strengh: 2.1

Vitality: 5.1

Skill: *Soul of qiqong* *Potential refinement*

Xin smirked seeing his stats increased even slightly after just 20 minutes.

This change was so fast because while he began his cultivation the cultivation began to reinforce the foundation created by Xin in the past, he didn't have to begin by scrap, it was like in a cup of water, you create the cup and then you put water in it, here the cup of Xin is already created, he just have to reinforce it and making it bigger for the future while a little part of the energy remaining is the water put in the cup.

In the situation of the children in general they must create the cup before with various speed depending their talent, only rich children from prestigious clan have a fondational technique like the soul of qiqong wich can help them from the beginning.

But thinking of the future, he calm himself and go to the old man to pass this test, the road of cultivation is made from countless step and he just took the first.
