I have only the way of the sword

Looking uninterested as a lower-stage middle aged man taught the class, a male child of eight[8] struggled to keep an attentive expression on his face.

[Info: lower-stage middle aged human --> 40 - 44]

"How many times do I have to hear the same thing over and over again?" he thought as he listened to the boring sermon of his teacher.

"Always remember that the body is the most important instrument in cultivating to a higher level, and with a strong body comes a strong martial arts foundation," Ku wang said seriously to his students, "do not be deceived by how your seniors use energy Qi and powerful techniques to battle without making use of their physical strengths."

"But what about mages, do we also need to cultivate our body?" Bu Nan asked proudly.

In Chang academy, majority of the students has the mindset that being a mage is the best thing that could happen to you. And all that was conceived and made firm by the success rate at which the lightning elemental hall won the xiantian realm tournaments, and the head master of the academy being a lightning element mage.

"Yes. Even mages need to cultivate their bodies because there's a tendency for them to come under an assassination attempt. And the stronger the body, the higher the chance of survival. And you all must have heard of the saying, the bigger the barrel, the more water it can contain. This can also be used when talking about cultivation. The stronger your body, the more energy Qi you can absorb and retain," Ku wang said delicately.

"Aaaah!! That is a waste of time. And is also painful to carry out," a female mage student said, frowning to the words of Ku wang.

"We are done for today. You should all cultivate properly and try breaking through to the next rank of your cultivations," Ku Wang said as he stood up from his cross-legged position, "and Lu Jin, keep up the great work. I'm sure you will get to the 7th rank of body tempering plane very soon."

"Ok, sir Ku Wang." Lu Jin, the eight[8] years old child, said without any emotion on his face.

"Look at how he replied, as if he's not happy about been complimented by sir Ku Wang," Bu Nan said as he envied Lu Jin for receiving the praise of their teacher.

Other students wanting to be in the good grace of Bu Nan also cursed and insulted Lu Jin.

Been born with a silver spoon and having the hall master of the fire elemental hall as his uncle, Bu Nan has never lacked cultivation resources ever since he started cultivating. And being just twelve[12] years old, he was one of the youngest in his class and said to be a genius for reaching the sixth[6th] rank of body tempering realm in only six[6] months after he started cultivating. Having a wild eagle as his life spirit, he was deemed as a talented cultivator. 

"It doesn't matter how much you make fun of him if at the end of the day you can't defeat him," someone said, with the sound of his voice coming from the door.

When the students all looked to see who was bold enough to say such words, well, they were no longer surprised because the one who said it was Wu Lan.

Having Just cultivated for 10 months and now at the peak of body tempering realm, he's regarded as the strongest in his class and also one of the few with enough talent to dazzle the city.

But what really brought his name to the peak, was his potential to reach the Martial King rank of cultivation.

Cultivation Realm in the Gu Gongy World could be classified as follows:

The Lower world of Gu Gongy

Realm 1. body tempering realm

Realm 2. xiantian realm

Realm 3. martial prince realm

Realm 4. martial king realm

Realm 5. martial emperor realm

The Higher world of Gu Gongy

Realm 6. martial dominator realm

Realm 7. martial sage realm

Realm 8. martial monarch realm

Realm 9. martial saint realm

Realm 10. martial deity realm

In Chang city, the highest cultivation realm is said to be the martial king realm. With only three[3] forces acknowledged to having them in their ranks.

And as all society with a social status will go, the city was helm by three[3] martial king cultivators at the 6th rank of their realm, giving them the strength to enforce their laws on their citizens.

And as nature willed it, the headmaster of Chang academy was one of such rulers, together with the city lord of Chang city and clan lord of Niu Clan.

So, for Wu Lan to have the "potential" of reaching the Martial king realm, that makes him a highly qualified genius.

"Wu Lan, does this have anything to do with you? And don't tell me how to face my opponents," Bu Nan said angrily.

"It doesn't matter what you say, the strongest always prevail," Wu Lan said as he left the classroom.

Leaving the class after Wu Lan did, ther peak body tempering realm students and rank 8 body tempering realm students had no interest of the brawl that might ensue.

"Lu Jin!!!" Bu Nan yelled out, "I challenge you to a fight."
