Light Cultivation
Eps. 20 — Academy
Jian Chen slightly grumbled as he returned to his room, this was because the condition of the children of the Jian Clan had a bad disposition. Instead of supporting each other's fellow clan disciples, instead of curbing each other.
Indeed, as deep as Jian Chen in his previous life, this was not a strange thing.
In the martial world if one did not have enough strength or strong supporters, they would receive a lot of injustice.
Although the law still applies to a murderer, thief, and bullying like that. It is just a formality from the government so that people feel safe and better.
In fact, government punishment cannot protect people completely.
The proof that your own strength is so important is when no one can help you. In the end, one has to rely on oneself in living life.
After his room, Jian Chen chose not to rest, he sat on his bed while sitting cross-legged. Jian Chen wanted to cool his head by cultivating.
Unlike usual, this time Jian Chen gathered light when the sun had not yet dissipated. The light grains were seen around Jian Chen's body and started to appear more than usual.
Jian Chen could feel his one meridian absorbing light felt even faster to full. If it continues like this, the other 8 meridians will be able to be increased faster.
“According to the teacher, the more lighting from the cultivation place the more details of light created..”.
These past two years, Jian Chen had absorbed the light during the night which was certainly minimal with lighting. Although it could still but to meet his 1 meridian he needed a longer time.
Jian Chen cultivated for an entire night and ended it when the morning sun washed his face.
Jian Chen took longer to fill 1 meridian with light so it was not enough just overnight.
Because the higher Jian Chen's cultivation the more light intake was required on each of his meridians.
To break through from the Iron Light God realm to the Silver Light God realm was much longer than when the breakthrough in the previous realm. Maybe if calculated almost takes 1 year.
Jian Chen hoped, he could absorb the light of day and night if time allowed to shorten his cultivation. That way he can achieve it in 10 months.
The reason he had long been to the Iron Light God realm back in the Jian clan was because Jian Chen had only absorbed light at night, and not every day so it took a very long time.
Unlike the case that Jian Chen gathered light day and night, he could cut his cultivation time by 50 percent if he focused his time on cultivating.
Jian Chen cleaned his body before going out the spaciousness of the academy. On his way out of the inn, the old disciples noticed Jian Chen before bowing respectfully
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, to be honest this was the first time he had been treated like this. Compared to his previous life, he was like those who bowed to the strong.
‘Looks like this inn is always a leader, is not it better they are free from this mindset.’
You could say, it was not just the Jian Hai generation that something like this happened. This means that this bullying has been around for a long time.
Jian Chen and the other disciples stepped towards the Academy grounds. Today there is an opening event for new students, one of the academy Elders will pass on information as well as announcements.
There were about 800 disciples gathered, all of whom had freshly entered. In the middle of the crowd there was a stage and podium available.
One of the Elders climbed onto the podium after all the new disciples had gathered, he stood on the podium facing the crowd.
“Welcome to Qianshan Academy, congratulations that you have entered the most prominent Academy in our Province…” Elders on the podium delivered an outline of his speech on the greatness of Qianshan Academy as well as the achievements he had scored. This was done so that new disciples like Jian Chen who entered the academy became more enthusiastic.
“In addition to making you stronger, in the academy you can master thousands of techniques. The science of bare-handed, sword-wielding, archery, spearmanship, or the most formidable of Elemental techniques, can all be learned in the Academy.” The elder announced excitedly on this passage.
Jian Chen who was in the middle of the crowd nodded in agreement, he had to admit, this Qianshan Academy is a place that cannot be underestimated.
As far back as I knew, the academy was getting more and more famous even outside the province, many outsiders who entered the Qianshan Academy were so famous at that time.
The Academy Elders arrived at important information after the opening had been completed, conveying scribes, decrees, and things that students had to do while in the academy.
Jian Chen had no interest in it as he already knew everything, for example about this academy's disciple being divided into three parts.
The first part was an outer disciple who contained a new disciple like Jian Chen, then the second was called an inner disciple which meant more senior. It said one could be called an inner disciple if it had been 3 years of life in the Academy.
And lastly is a core disciple that contains talented students. Core disciples could not be achieved even though they had stayed in the academy for a long time so there were fewer.
As the name suggests, core disciples can only be obtained by talented or genius disciples. They tend to be respected either by inner or outer disciples.
There was an identifying mark to distinguish those disciples with a badge. The silver badge that Jian Chen applied carried signified the outer disciple, the gold badge of the inner disciple, and the last purple badge as the core disciple.
The Academy elders then went on to tell him about the faction. In essence, a faction was a group formed in the academy. There are about 45 fractions available today.
Academy students were not obligated to enter the faction but that was usually rarely done. This is because a person who joins a faction has many advantages such as cooperation or sharing.
“Each Faction is led by the most talented student, the 10 strongest Factions are the core students who lead it.” The Academy Elder turns out to call those 10 people to go on stage. The elder also said that these 10 disciples were the 10 most genius disciples in Qianshan Academy.
Everyone then turned to those 10 core disciples. The breathing of the people was stifled from feeling the great aura of yeng pent up on them.
About 7 men and 3 women out of 10. In addition to showing their strength to the new students, it also showed how young they were but had high cultivation.
Jian Chen's eyes could not blink looking at either of the women, as well as the other disciples. The female core disciple was so eye-catching because she had a very beautiful and graceful look.
“Niu Meili..” Jian Chen muttered softly upon seeing her. “Lotus flowers of Niu Clan.”.
