“Haha, Gu Lie, my cadet got the no.1 position this time. Apologies about it.”
The moment Li Fuchen12Li FuchenMain Protagonist won, Xu Chunhua was so excited that he nearly jumped out.
It was a surprise, a huge surprise.
Li Fuchen was able to attain victory even against Di Jun with the Cloud Startle Spear Art at the completion stage. As Li Fuchen’s mentor, he felt as though he was struck by a reward from heaven and was dizzy.
Beside him, Gu Lie had an expression that was truly awful.
He didn’t only suffer humiliation, the most important thing was the 1000 mentor points. It was going to be halved into 500 mentor points and it was the same as shaving his flesh.
These 500 mentor points might delay his promotion to become an inner institute elder by several years. After all, three listed cadets was required to compensate for the loss of 500 mentor points. If a mentor was unlucky, they might not be able to nurture any listed cadets for a few years. It was just like Xu Chunhua who hadn’t been able to nurture one for many years.
His face was important, so was his assets. Right now, he had lost both.
“This is truly jinxed..” Gu Lie spoke indignantly.
“Mentor Xu, congratulations.” The rest of the mentors came over to congratulate Xu Chunhua.
Xu Chunhua nodded and laughed with a pleased expression.
“Assistant Dean, this child’s innate perception can only be found once a century. I reckon that the Dean will also be interested!” At the rostrum, the various outer institute elders were very emotional.
The grey-robed assistant dean nodded, “The Dean should be back in a few days. If he doesn’t accept Li Fuchen as his in-room cadet, I will.”
As the South Forest Martial Institution’s assistant dean, he had only accepted three in-room cadets up till now. The dean was even more excessive as he had only accepted one in-room cadet. Regular 6-star bone frames were people that he didn’t even pay attention to. He would only pay attention to individuals with special bone frames or cadets like Li Fuchen with terrifying perception.
Of course, special bone frames had special circumstances. Only those with extraordinary bone frames that awakened extraordinary abilities would be able to teach them. The assistant dean didn’t have the extraordinary bone frame but the dean possessed the 6-star blazing fire bone frame and had awakened the blazing fire ability. He reckoned that the dean would accept Wang Heilong as an in-room cadet too.
Sigh!
The assistant dean let out a sigh. There were just a few cadets that he had high regard for when they were in the Heaven Dipper Realm. If he missed these talents, it was unknown when it would be the next time.
“No.1 listed cadet. I, Luo Yan is truly fortunate to meet him. I really don’t know what kind of kind did I have.” Luo Yan looked at Li Fuchen who stood on the contest stage like a bright sun while feeling shocked.
The assistant dean stood up and declared the result of the competition, “For this Listed Competition, no.1 Li Fuchen, no.2 Di Jun, no.3 Zhang Yunfeng, no.4 Wang Heilong, no.5 Zhao Fenghua, no.6 Wu Zhi…”
During the earlier few rounds, Wang Heilong had defeated Zhao Fenghua while the latter defeated Wu Zhi.
As such, Zhao Fenghua’s ranking didn’t change and he was still the no.5 listed cadet.
Wu Zhi, on the other hand, had dropped from being the no.3 listed cadet to the no.6 listed cadet. It could even be considered jumping off the cliff into the water.
As the assistant dean was preparing to carry on, he suddenly lifted his head and looked towards the east of the contest stages.
In the east, a black spot could vaguely be seen.
The black spot was rapidly expanding and had appeared on the stage in a wink of the eye.
“Dean.” The assistant dean greeted.
“Greetings to the Dean.”
All the outer institute elders, grade A and B mentors had all stood up and greeted respectfully.
On the contest stage, it was unknown when a white-robed elder had appeared.
The white-robed elder had a florid complexion and immortal-like aura, he was just like a generational master.
“Is this white-robed elder the South Forest Martial Institution’s Dean?” Li Fuchen sized up the white-robed elder.
The South Forest Martial Institution’s dean was one of the master experts in the Violet Flower Kingdom. It was said that he had the cultivation of the 8th level of the Battle Spirit Realm and had awakened the blazing fire ability, and had once melted an entire mountain. In the master rankings of the Violet Flower Kingdom, he was ranked 15th.
One should not underestimate the dean who was ranked 15th.
The Violet Flower Kingdom had 24 martial institutions and two elite martial institutions. When including the royal clan of the kingdom, there were numerous top-classed masters. Among the 24 martial institutions’ deans, only nine of them were ranked top 20 in the master rankings.
“You are this year’s no.1 listed cadet?” Waving his hand in response to everyone’s greetings, the white-robed elder suddenly looked at Li Fuchen with burning eyes.
“Mmm!?”
Inside Li Fuchen’s body, the white-robed elder could feel a silver extraordinary vigor and it was locking up Li Fuchen’s physical power and extraordinary vigor.
After turning around, the white-robed elder took a glance at the assistant dean.
This silver extraordinary vigor is called Silver Nucleus Vigor and is cultivated by Lao Zheng. It seems like Lao Zheng doesn’t want Li Fuchen to break the balance and intentionally sealed his body refinement strength.
“Yes, Dean.” Li Fuchen replied with a cupped fist.
The dean smiled and said, “Not bad, not bad. Your body still has remnant Green Sun Sword Intent and it has already entered a higher tier. I, Meng Chihang has only accepted one in-room cadet. I wonder if you are willing to become my second in-room cadet.”
Li Fuchen’s perception had tempted the Dean greatly. He knew clearly about the difficulty to cultivate the Green Sun Sword Intent. Back when he was just a cadet in the South Forest Martial Institution, he was unable to cultivate the Green Sun Sword Intent until he reached the Reincarnation Realm.
“As expected.” The assistant dean laughed bitterly as he saw a great talent getting snatched.
“What? The dean accepted an in-room cadet?”
After hearing that the dean was accepting Li Fuchen as an in-room cadet, everyone was filled with envy.
The dean’s status was superior to Marquis Nanlin. After becoming the dean’s in-room cadet, Li Fuchen’s status would naturally rise with the trend and would be comparable to the Nanlin Marquis Residence’s young masters and ladies. It wasn’t outrageous to say that Li Fuchen would be able to walk across the entire South Forest Region with pride. No one would dare to deal with him publically, otherwise, they would suffer the wrath of the dean.
Even Di Jun and the rest were filled with envy.
“Li Fuchen is willing.”
No one would refuse this opportunity unless they were fools and Li Fuchen was obviously not a fool.
“Good.” The dean revealed a smile.
After scanning across, the dean’s eyes landed on Wang Heilong. He could sense the subtle power of darkness from Wang Heilong’s body.
“Darkness bone frame?” The dean was very astonished.
For the recent century of the Violet Flower Kingdom, the darkness bone frame had never appeared. Wang Heilong was the first individual.
If the darkness bone frame holder was nurtured properly, he would become an invincible existence among the martial artists of the same cultivation realm. If Wang Heilong’s cultivation could reach the 7th or 8th level of Battle Spirit Realm, he would certainly have the strength of the top five or even top three masters. If he could reach the 9th level of Battle Spirit Realm, he would basically be the no.1 master.
Of course, the prerequisite was for him to awaken the darkness ability and develop it to a certain extent.
“What is your name? Do you possess the darkness bone frame?” The dean questioned Wang Heilong.
Wang Heilong’s was rather excited as he nodded, “This cadet is Wang Heilong and I possess the 6-star darkness bone frame.”
“Good, are you willing to become my in-room cadet?”
“Wang Heilong is willing.” Wang Heilong replied hastily.
The dean laughed as he had picked up a treasure. A 6-star darkness bone frame holder was an existence that would be snatched by the dean in any martial institution.
“The two of you will follow me.”
The dean waved his hand and there was an invisible energy binding them. In the next moment, the trio vanished.
When they appeared again, they were outside the Secret Manual Tower.
“Dean.” The elder guarding the tower stood up and greeted with respect.
The dean said, “They will become my in-room cadets from today onwards. I brought them here to pick a cultivation technique.”
“Yes, Dean.” The elder looked at the duo with envy.
There were great benefits for becoming the dean’s in-room cadets. The greatest benefit was to directly pick an earth class mid-tier cultivation technique.
One must know that outer institute mentors weren’t even qualified to pick an earth class mid-tier cultivation technique. Only inner institute mentors were qualified to do so.
“Eh, isn’t this the child that picked the Green Sun Sword Intent?” The guardian elder recognized Li Fuchen.
Could he have successfully cultivated the Green Sun Sword Intent and was accepted by the dean as an in-room cadet?
“The two of you can enter and pick an earth class mid-tier cultivation technique you like! But with your current status, you can only obtain the first 24 ranks of the technique. As for the future ranks, it will depend on your performance and contributions to the institution.” The dean turned around and informed Li Fuchen and Wang Heilong.
“Many thanks, Dean.” Li Fuchen and Wang Heilong felt a little light-headed.
Choosing an earth class mid-tier cultivation technique they liked… Even though it was only the first 24 ranks, wasn’t this too big of a leap?!
The dean nodded and continued, “I have nothing to guide you now, wait till the two of you become inner institute cadets. Alright, you may enter!” After finishing his statement, the dean flashed and vanished.
“The two of you are truly in luck. You are already able to cultivate earth class mid-tier cultivation techniques at such an early age.” After the dean left, the guardian elder smiled and said.
“Hehe.” Wang Heilong grinned and laughed.
“Child, have you successfully cultivated the Green Sun Sword Art?” The guardian elder couldn’t hold back his curiosity and inquired Li Fuchen.
“I am fortunate enough not to disgrace myself.” Li Fuchen cupped his fist.
“How can you even say that? You are really a young maniac.” The guardian elder waved his hand and asked the duo to enter the tower.
With the authority given by the dean, the duo immediately arrived on the fourth floor of the Secret Manual Tower.
This floor had very little quantity of manuals but each manual had the ability to create a storm of blood.
The duo didn’t bother talking and started to look through the manuals.
“First Heaven Divine Technique, earth class mid-tier cultivation technique. Ability to cultivate the first heaven qi. If a Reincarnation Realm martial artist cultivates it, it will increase the lifespan by 50%. If a Battle Spirit Realm master cultivates it, it will increase the lifespan by 30%. The first heaven qi is unbreakable and has interchangeable between hard and soft. With a concentrated mind, when cultivated to a high rank, it could be used for self-recuperation and could also be used to assist others in recuperation. The effects are truly remarkable.”
“It is actually a qi cultivation technique that can increase the lifespan and also has a healing effect!” Li Fuchen was feeling shocked in his heart.
Cultivation techniques with the ability to increase lifespan was extremely rare. There were martial artists who were stuck in a realm and wouldn’t be able to break through no matter what. If they were to cultivate the First Heaven Divine Technique, they would definitely be able to break through their body’s limit with the increase in lifespan and reach a higher realm.
Cultivation techniques with healing effects were also rare. When martial artists crossed moves in battle, it was inevitable that they would be injured. Without any elixirs, it was needless to say that the First Heaven Divine Technique had the ability to increase the cultivator’s survivability greatly. Minor injuries could be ignored while severe injuries would gradually turn into minor injuries.
When these two factors were combined, it was extremely rare.
Furthermore, the First Heaven Divine Technique wasn’t a weak technique and wasn’t those support type cultivation techniques.
If this divine technique’s manual was brought to the East Unicorn Continent, wouldn’t it be invincible?
