"We'll definitely be able to work even harder!" This sentence had already been repeated countless times by Tian Cheng.
It was now the hour of the morning, and he was still sitting on the cot in his bedroom. In fact, the word "training room" was more appropriate than the bedroom because it was just a bedroom decoration. Tian Cheng had never treated it as a bedroom. That small bed could no longer be called a bed. The only work that Tian Cheng did was to cultivate while sitting in meditation. He had never slept at all.
This was already a month later. In this month, Tian Cheng had trained diligently every day. He originally thought that it wouldn't take too long before he would be able to open all of the Death Acupuncture Points and master the first layer of the Beast Essence Technique. However, things did not go as he wished. Today was the tenth day and he was about to attempt breaking through his final acupoint. However, no matter how hard he tried, his acupoints were like dead creatures, without any movement at all.
This month, everything seemed to be going against him. After confirming that he was researching the mysterious potion in the right direction, he made some progress in his research. However, this progress was only made a few days ago. He had tried many guesses, but each of them gave him a satisfactory solution.
At this moment, he opened his eyes once again from his perspiring efforts. There was doubt, helplessness, and unwillingness in his eyes.
When he opened the door, it was raining heavily outside. The sound of thunder reverberated through the world. He did not care about all this. Tian Cheng was walking in the rain. No matter how hard the rain and wind blew, they would not be able to stop his footsteps. He walked to the top of the mountain and sat on top of a huge green boulder that stood tall on the mountain peak. The lightning illuminated the land from time to time. The black figure on the huge rock remained unmoving, as if it had merged with the blue stone, the small mountain, the earth, and the entire world.
He faced the sky, trying to let as much rain as he could wash down his face. He was not venting, much less complaining. He was trying to find a peace, a peace that transcended nature.
Perhaps she really should calm down like this. This kind of rain, this kind of night, it seemed like it was all prepared for this kind of person.
The rain slowly stopped, and Tian Cheng's heart quieted down. The sun was back on the earth, and people were getting busy with their lives. When he opened his eyes, what appeared before Tian Cheng was the bustling figures of the villagers.
"What is the purpose of cultivation?" Tian Cheng questioned himself.
"Isn't it just life? "Cultivation originates from life!"
"Then why don't I train in life? Isn't this the theory behind entering the world of cultivation? "
"I had always thought that one had to wait until they had enough strength before they could go out and adventure. No wonder my last acupoint couldn't be broken through. These days, I've been separated from my life. Now is the time to go out and gain experience. " After thinking it through, Tian Cheng jumped off the limestone and rushed home.
"Grandfather, Second and Third Brother, come here for a while. Upon hearing Tian Cheng's shouts, the three people who were currently in the midst of training stopped. The two brothers looked at each other for a moment before walking over. Usually during training, Big Brother would never disturb them midway. I don't know if today … In next to no time, the four of them had gathered together.
"Grandfather, it's the 16th of July today. You said before that Saint Bist Royal Academy usually recruits new students on the eighth of August every year, right?" Tian Cheng asked. Note: The year here is divided into twelve months, January is divided into thirty days, and the day is also twenty-four hours.
Saint Bist Royal Academy was a legendary academy. Amongst the major advanced academies in the continent, only the top three academies of the other three empires could be as famous as it was. However, the reason why he was known as the Royal Academy wasn't because he was under the control of the Empire's royal family. It was because the majority of the people who attended the school there were either royalty or aristocrats, and only a small portion of them were talented and hardworking commoners. Legend has it that Saint Bist Academy was founded by a peerless genius from five thousand years ago, a dual mage and martial artist who both reached the Saint level in both magic and martial arts. Saint Bist was a peak existence that all humans on the continent looked up to.
However, the Royal Sacred Academy wasn't famous for this name. Rather, it was a place where students graduated from. Whether it was Wen Tao or Wu Lun, they were all abnormal existences in front of their peers. They were important targets recruited by the various countries and powers. As long as they wanted money and status, everything was up to them. At some point, a country might completely change its fate because of such a talent. Their strength told the world that they were definitely not bragging.
It had been Tiancheng's dream to study there, too, since he had learned of the death of his parents. Tiancheng's desire to go to that city was even greater, because his sworn enemy, Hovas, lived wherever he was. No matter what it was for, he would definitely go to that place this time!
Hearing his grandson mention the Royal Sacred Academy, the old man's eyes burned with passion as he replied, "That's right. This is also the first continent's rule that doesn't change even after a thousand years. Child, what do you want?"
"Yes, grandfather!" Tian Cheng solemnly said, "I want to apply for this academy. My cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, so I need to go out for a walk." This time, not only will I go, I will also bring my two younger brothers with me. If you are willing, it would be best if you come with us. " Before saying this, Tian Cheng had already made up his mind. It was not like he was going to this academy. Moreover, he was confident that he would be able to pass with his own ability.
As for his two younger brothers, the earlier he got to know the system, the better. Tian Cheng could only be considered a half-tongue-in-cheek master, and he didn't know anything about training Spirit power at all. He could only give them some methods to become a Berserker. After a month of intense and profound training, coupled with the effects of the mysterious potion, they had almost broken through to the fifth level. It was rare to see a ten year old fifth level elementalist in the mainland. Moreover, they were not as simple as rank 5 elementalists. Ten days ago, Tian Sheng had asked them to train their mental abilities, which was why he had the confidence to bring them along.
"But, child, Grandfather knows that your strength is not ordinary, but that Saint Bist Academy is definitely not as simple as you think. You have to know, our Southern Wind Empire has a population of over a billion. Including the surrounding small countries, our total population is almost 2 billion. There must be at least several hundred million under the age of eighteen! However, less than five thousand people enter the exam every year. Your strength is not bad, but you are not someone to be trifled with. Grandpa didn't have any intention to stop you, on the contrary, I had to raise both my hands in support. Grandfather only wants to remind you that the outside world is very complicated. You absolutely cannot underestimate anyone, and even more so, do not overestimate yourself. Ever since he started practicing Taiji Fist, the old man's outlook on life and values seemed to have deepened, and his speech was full of philosophy. Tian Cheng was certain that his old grandpa was unable to say such words.
Tian Cheng nodded his head and replied, "Grandfather, I will be careful. You know that I have a lot of secret weapons!" "But you are …"
The old man raised his head and laughed: "Grandfather is already old, I am not suitable to travel with you young people, good men have their ambitions, this world is yours, I will not blindly intervene, this Taiji Fist technique has already calmed my heart, now I just want to stay with him, you guys can rest easy!" Grandpa has so many villagers watching, he won't be lonely. " As he spoke of this, no matter how brilliant the smile on the old man's face was, it couldn't conceal the sadness in his heart. His grandson, who he had grown up with, was finally about to spread his wings and soar through the skies. He should cry and laugh even more.
Hearing his grandfather say this, Tian Cheng felt at ease. He would also believe that even if the old man wasn't by their side, he wouldn't be too lonely. Solitude is a gift for the lonely, and the old man is not a loner.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, are you willing to go with me to the continent's most advanced academy to study?" Even though Tian Cheng had already made their decision for them, he still respected them. It was necessary to make a symbolic inquiry.
The two brothers didn't immediately nod. Instead, they asked, "Brother, what's the difference between training in the academy and training at home?"
"The difference is huge!" "Tian Cheng began to solemnly introduce the academy's benefits." There, you can meet many of your peers who are powerful, learn all kinds of knowledge, and even … In any case, there were many benefits. Most importantly, you could always know the difference between yourself and others. This way, you would be able to constantly urge yourself to work hard and improve, instead of being a frog in a well. Do you understand? "
At this time, Wes pulled at the corner of his older brother's clothes, as if he was hinting at something. After a while, his older brother Vader mustered up the courage to blush and said to Tian Cheng, "Brother, what we really want to know is whether there are girls there or not."
"No, no!" At this moment, Wes also interjected, "They should be asking if there's any pretty girls around our age."
Seeing these two cute twins actually ask such a shocking question, Tian Cheng felt regret and hatred! Why did he let that little lecher, Little Gold, mingle with them! What good children! He was led astray by a mouse just like that. Tian Cheng panicked and shouted, "Xiao Jin, I'm going to kill you!"
When Tian Cheng's mood had calmed down, the old man next to him spoke up again. "Child, there must be another condition for us to register at Holy Bist Academy."
Now that he had written up to this point, the path of Heaven's Perfection was just beginning to move towards this exciting world. He hoped that the plot that followed would be even more exciting, and he hoped that everyone would give him some encouragement!
