When he got back to the ground floor, he saw that his two friends had already been waiting for him. Strangely today, Da Jing stayed back to wait for him.
Li'er smiles at him which make Tian Feng felt good even if it's just an innocent smile from a kid.
Da Jing walked toward the door. He stopped by the door showing his back to Tian Feng. "Tian Feng! I want to challenge you."
"Alright! After dinner." Tian Feng reply casually.
After that Da Jing left first. Tian Feng has dinner with Li'er happily. The reason that he agreed almost instantly was to earn system points.
When Tian Feng walking hand in hand with Li'er toward their room, he saw that Da Jing was already waiting.
He released Li'er hand and walked toward Da Jing. "Are you ready? Come!"
Tian Feng condensed his Iron Man arm and rushed forward to punch Da Jing. When Da Jing saw that attack coming, he tried to dodge but failed. Tian Feng Divine Punch was incorporated with wind movement so it was swift. The fist hadn't reached Da Jing yet but electrical Qi had already electrified Da Jing causing him to be stunned for a few seconds.
Tian Feng didn't continue as he already got the points that he wanted. Da Jing recovered and quickly entered his room.
Clack!
The sound of a door being locked could be heard from outside. It has to be known that Da Jing has never locked his room's door. At this moment, a voice comes out from the room. "I'll enter my closed door training, don't look for me for the time being. Next time, I'll be the winner."
Li'er and Tian Feng glance at each other before entering their own room. Tian Feng didn't know what Li'er was doing in her room every day and he didn't have the mind to care since his life now was in danger.
After he locked his door, he immediately started to form his new body art. With the help of his cute system, he had already completed 10% of it. This times it also included poison resistant.
It's already morning and he had only completed 10%, at this rate, it'll take him 10 days to finish it. He didn't want to continue as he also has to go out and earn points so he went to Li'er's room and knock her door.
Li'er was practising her sword skill. She had already got used to being called out by Tian Feng every morning. Today was no different, even if she has been awake for some times, she didn't come out of her room. She was waiting for Tian Feng to come and call her. In the entire academy, she doesn't know anyone else.
After a short while later, Li'er comes out and said in a curious tone. "Where do you want to go?"
Tian Feng didn't expect her to ask this question. "You are not going to the library?"
"No, I haven't mastered the old ones yet."
"Then let's go have breakfast together. After that, we'll take a look at the various hall."
"Okay."
Tian Feng wants to earn point so he decided to walk around with Li'er hoping to encounter some good opportunity. Unknowingly, they arrived in front of the researching hall. He had always wanted to pay a visit here but never got the chance. Since he's already here today, he might as well go in to have a look.
Yuki: "FengFeng! You unlocked a hidden mission. Join the research hall. The reward is 100000 points."
[Great!]
He looks at Li'er and said. "Li'er! Do you have interests in any hall?"
"I'm interested in Chemistry Hall."
"I'll go with you later when you decided to join."
"Do you want to join Researching Hall? Should I join here with you?"
"You don't have to but if you want, let's go."
"I'm joining here with you. Researching and Chemistry are similar after all."
After he walked in, he saw an elder who was in charge here. He greeted him and inquired about the joining process.
In order to join them, he had to discover something new first. No wonder the reward is high. Even though his previous world is full of researchers, he's merely a programmer so he didn't know much regarding researching.
After asking the elder a few more questions, he finally understands how things work here.
Tian Feng didn't know how to do research but consider his advantages in information, there's no worry in the discovery of something new.
A member can have access and make use of bleeding edge discoveries of other members too. When he discovered something, he can choose to keep it private or publicize it for everyone to use. In exchange for publishing his research, he would receive Condensed Energy Pill too.
Condensed Energy Pill is a pill that any cultivator can cultivate by condensing their Qi then remove all attributes, finally left with only energy, it forms into a pill to store the energy. Cultivator could use it to speed up their cultivation.
As the level goes up, the Qi in the atmosphere is no longer enough for absorption. It has a price roughly equivalent to 1 system points. If he could earn it, then it can be said that he would have a stable income of points.
His system has a function for exchanging points with the real-world item. If not for the fact that he has absolutely no valuable item right now, he would sell them all for points already.
As for how the system work, that question needn't be asked. A system is an impossible existence, so having something as such is no longer seem much.
Not everything can be exchanged after all but now that he had Yuki, he didn't worry much. If there's anything good for him, Yuki would tell him.
Beckoning Li'er to leave together, they walk out and head toward the sparring area.
At this moment, earning points is the most important thing. Besides, joining the researching hall is not something you can do instantly. Researching, discovering and verifying...each of these takes a lot of times and efforts.
Li'er was also aware of that. After walking and chatting around for a while, they arrived at the sparing area where they could see many battles going on.
---
In Da Jing's room, he was sitting crossed leg in a meditation posture. He was cultivating and trying to break through to the next realm. Only by reaching the next realm, could he win against Tian Feng. While he didn't have any malicious intent toward Tian Feng, he simply doesn't want to lose. Thus, he had to take this challenge seriously.
He was cultivating at one moment and practising martial skills at another. Sometimes he could be seen practising sword skill or punching skill. He was also practising the skills that his father taught him. Apparently, it's all water based skills.
He only rested a little between his practice to have a meal as he hasn't reached a level where he could go without eating yet. He didn't leave his room and only eating his dry ration. To him, time is precious. The sooner he can defeat Tian Feng, the better.
After arriving at the sparing area, Tian Feng turned to Li'er and asked. "Li'er! I'm going to spar with everyone here to practice my skills. What are you going to do?"
He wants to know whether she will sparing or heading back to her room. After all, there's no way she should be wasting time watching him all days.
Li'er thought for a moment before she said "I'm going to watch you battle for a while and maybe if there's any suitable opponent, I'll spar with them too. Watching battles would also aiding me with my cultivation. However, I won't be staying here for long as I have to go back and start my research."
Upon hearing this, he smiled and said. "Alright! Wait here, I'll go to challenge someone."
[Yuki, find me a suitable opponent.]
"Are you sure? That will cost you points. You should either unlock a new psychic ability or learn a sensing skill."
[It's fine. I can't spend too much point right now.]
"Alright! The person in front of you wearing red with a sword is a Mortal Stage 1. He's the weakest in the area."
A few days ago, he couldn't do anything to a Mortal Realm cultivator. Now he's going to battle with them once again. He feels like everything has suddenly got hard for him since he entered this academy.
Li'er couldn't help but worried for him but thinking of the strange skill that he used to test with her a few days ago, she felt a bit relief. While she did not have a system like Tian Feng, she knows that there are no freshmen here. Anyone besides the freshmen is at least Mortal Stage 1 cultivator.
