22 The Vision 3

When Wang Li Tian came back to Jian Rou Xuan, telling her that he had exchanged his manuals for a meeting with the Elder in white, Rou Xuan merely nodded and chuckled lightly. Her little brother never did things in the usual way. She would never question the ways of Li Tian since, who was she to judge? Only when harm comes in Li Tian's way would she try her best to convince him not to do something.

The rest of the time in the treasury was spent walking around looking at sword art manuals. Li Tian wasn't very interested in learning other sword techniques. He did however enjoy the time spent walking around with Rou Xuan. There was one sore thumb that stuck out in their time together and it was Rou Lang. Ever since he realised that the loser from their home, Riverlock City had suddenly become so strong, he didn't exactly know what to do. Coupled with the fact that he stuck with his sister throughout the entire time, it made him feel vexed.

"Just you wait, Wang Li Tian. Big brother is in the academy and he is far stronger than you. That trash cultivation root of yours would not get you far in cultivation." Rou Lang whispered under his breath, walking away to find his manual.

Indeed, basing on cultivation level, the Jiang family's oldest son who was 16 years of age, was higher than Wang Li Tian. In the Outer disciple circle, he was considered one of the big guns. Ranking in fifth place on the Outer disciple ranking, he was someone normal disciples wouldn't trifle with. After all, once someone is able to get into the top ten rankings, their chances of promotion into the inner court was highest.

In the end of the manual selection, each new student queued up to get their manuals checked out by the Headmaster. He nodded in approval at the mid level books Luo Zhang Yang and Liu Fei Ling chose. "Hmm, the Earth Titan Body Manual is a good choice for your natural Earth Spiritual Root."

The Earth Golem Body Manual would allow Luo Zhang Yang to create an earthen shield around his body that resembled the powerful Ancient Golem. In addition, coupled with his Earth Spiritual Root, his rate of cultivating any manual that connects with the Earth element is many times faster than a normal cultivator.

"The Darkness Progression Manual is also a good manual to cultivate for a cultivator of Hidden Weapons."

In regards to Liu Fei Ling, the boy chose to go with the Darkness Progression Manual. The manual allows the cultivator to blend into the world of darkness and move like the shadow. It was perfect for assassination.

These were the strongest two manuals and the rest were all rather normal. When everyone finished receiving their Manuals and Demonic cores, the respective school disciples were already waiting outside the Treasury for their newly admitted disciples. Li Tian looked around to find the elder from before, but there was no one by the door. He could only wait till tonight to find out more.

"Hey Li Tian, I am going to be following the people from the School of Sword Arts now. Be safe okay?" Rou Xuan tapped on the boy's shoulder.

"Okay," Li Tian smiled at Rou Xuan. "I will look for you later."

"Alright." Rou Xuan smiled back before leaving with her group.

Every single school discipline had left from the hill containing the treasury, except for the School of Artificing. The disciple that was meant to guide everyone had not arrive yet. The newly admitted disciples sat on rocks and the ground looking all depressed. It was without a doubt that the School of Artificing had the most number of admitted students.

Only when the sun started setting did a silhouette of a chubby figure was seen climbing up the steps. Heavy breathing could be heard even before the person arrive in front of them. As the figure made it up the last few steps, he was half kneeling and his hands were on the ground, stabilising his body from falling. The man's robe was originally light grey in colour, but from the amount of sweat produced by him, he was wearing a dark grey robe.

Everyone present were speechless at the sight of their senior disciple. How did this man even get into the Academy with such a physique?

"He..Hello juniors. So..rry I took so lo.." As the senior was about to finish him sentence, the fat-bodied man turned his body to the grass patch. Sounds of vomiting resonated in the air as a waterfall of a mixture between food and water came out from the senior's mouth.

Really!? How did this guy even get into the Academy?!?!

It was only after puking out what seemed to be his breakfast lunch and dinner did the senior recover back to normal. "There's no need to worry about me, juniors. I have always been like this since the beginning."

No one cared about your wellbeing! How shameless could their senior be?

"I wanted to apologise for my late arrival. One of the Elders said to come fetch you all in the afternoon, but unfortunately, the sun was perfect for an afternoon nap. And so, I could not say no to it. You understand me?"

"…"

"Yes, yes, you guys are surely my juniors! Meeting you all here today is truly fated. I'm sure we shall all become great brothers soon enough!"

Within a few minutes of meeting their senior brother of the outer court, they had realised what kind of person he was. He was an outright shameless person to the core!
