“Going to school again?”

Du Gang looked at Kong Xu with wide eyes and an open mouth, his lips twitching as he said, “You’re not joking with me, are you?!”

Kong Xu shrugged, “Who has time to joke with you? I’m busy studying every day, I don’t have this idle time!”

“Really?!” Du Gang asked incredulously.

“Of course it’s true!”

Kong Xu nodded, “This time, it’s not a regular school, in fact, you can’t really say it’s schooling, it’s more like getting a name on the list!”

“Penglai Island features too many factions, if they are not managed collectively, there will inevitably be those who hoard resources and shirk their duty in the abyss…”

“So, Penglai Academy is basically a place for managing young people!”

“Only those who register here do not have to serve in the military, no, I mean they don’t need to serve in the God Spirit Level military!”

“Otherwise, the usual God Spirit Level, apart from the first hundred years, for the rest of the time, at least half of their time every hundred years must be spent serving in the abyss!”

Du Gang was speechless. He had barely weathered the tribulation, thinking that now that he was a God Spirit, he could finally take it easy, but Kong Xu had just shown up with this.

He told him that if he didn’t join the academy, he would have to serve in the abyss.

“Is it just a registration?”

Kong Xu shook his head, “It’s not just registration, the usual training still applies!”

“Before this, each family’s Sector Lords, basically trained individually!”

“But after reaching the God Spirit Level, these prodigies, apart from the resources of their own families, can also receive academy assistance. This is something collectively funded by all the families on Penglai Island, it’s quite substantial…”

“So, you mean there are rewards to be obtained within the academy?”

“Something like that!”

“Apart from this, they will provide training for us newly promoted God Spirits!”

On hearing this, Du Gang immediately perked up.

After he had attained the God Spirit Level, he was quite lost about how to proceed with his next stage of cultivation, not knowing where to start and what resources he would need.

“So, are you saying that all newly promoted God Spirits are going? Including those who are advanced in age?”

He suddenly remembered that not all who had attained the God Spirit Level were younger individuals like him; many were actually centuries-old geezers.

“Impossible!”

Kong Xu laughed, “Those people, aren’t like us, they are far too old, their potential is not as high as ours…”

“As I mentioned, those who can join the academy are all young people, mainly coming from the four major corporations and various families within…”

He added, “Aside from our cosmic men, there is also a substantial number of individuals who were born on the Primordial Continent…”

“These people, are also part of our cosmic men, but they were born on the Primordial Continent and they all have very high innate abilities, their number is not small…”

Du Gang was taken aback, “You mean, you were born on Penglai Island?!”

Kong Xu nodded helplessly, “My dad is a God Spirit. Property prices in the Primordial City are not cheap, he didn’t buy a house there, so every time he finishes his service, he returns here, so…”

Du Gang stared at him, dumbfounded, “Are you saying that those who can buy houses in the Old City are wealthy? And that property prices there are very high?!”

“Yes, that place is different from here. The Primordial Continent has limited land. Over these many years, it’s become very valuable…”

Kong Xu helplessly said, “In fact, most of the Kong family’s descendants are trained here. After all, the Primordial Continent has scarce land resources, so the accommodation problem there is quite serious…”

Du Gang frowned, “Wait, don’t we have spatial technology? Can’t we put it to use?”

Kong Xu helplessly said, “Spatial technology also needs an entrance point. The public rental houses over there are all single-person space doors. They can be teleported to independent tiny worlds, but even that’s not enough!”

Du Gang was speechless, he hadn’t expected that the problem of high property prices existed everywhere.

However, unlike on Earth, where property prices are speculated, here, there really is a housing shortage!

Fortunately, he wasn’t bothered by it. He has no attachments or responsibilities. Even if he didn’t have a house to live in, it wouldn’t matter!

However, it’s different for these ordinary people. Even though their strength is comparable to a God spirit level, they always need a decent place to cultivate their offspring.

“In the past, Penglai Academy hardly admitted new students, those who did get admitted were usually already sequential disciples. We didn’t have teachers conducting lessons, and it’s been like this for tens of millions of years…”

“But this time, there are quite a few of us who have advanced to the God Spirit level. There are about fifty or sixty people from the younger generation, so the academy has decided to open a class and assign a teacher to teach us…”

“A teacher?”

Du Gang was taken aback and asked, “What’s their level?!”

Kong Xu shook his head, “I don’t know, but at the very least they should be a strong practitioner in the late stages of God Spirit level, possibly even at True God level!”

Du Gang nodded, “Alright, when does the class start??”

“In principle, it should be three days from now. However, if everyone is ready, we can start earlier. I asked the others, and most of them have already headed there. You’re the only one left, that’s why I came over…”

Hearing this, Du Gang pondered for a moment, realizing there was nothing he needed to bring.

After some thought, he asked, “Did Yao Zixuan and Long Aotian already leave?!”

Kong Xu nodded, “They left a while ago!”

Du Gang nodded, “Alright, let’s get going then!”

Staying here wasn’t doing him any good. After advancing to the God Spirit level, he thought there would be a lot of things to do. But apart from the first day when a few younger generation members congratulated him, nobody came by, leaving him puzzled about what he should do next.

It seemed that the powers on Penglai Island were discussing what to do with him, likely intending to send him to the academy.

Du Gang quickly surveyed his surroundings, there was nothing worth packing. He had no possessions, all he had was stored within his internal world.

Soon, the two of them left Penglai Island and headed into the cosmos.

Looking at the distant black ‘eggshell, Du Gang couldn’t help but ask, “Are we really not going in from the sky?”

Kong Xu understood that someone must have told Du Gang the truth, so he nodded and said, “No, we enter from here into the ancient city’s guiding square!”

“That’s incredible, it looks like we’re entering from the outer space of the Primordial Continent…”

Du Gang mumbled to himself and quickly followed Kong Xu.

“Spread your divine power throughout every corner of your body for protection!”

Up ahead, Kong Xu reminded him without turning his head.

Du Gang immediately did as told.

Soon, they both entered the black hole, one after the other.

“Zzzzt!”

As soon as he entered, a strong tearing force surged towards him. Thanks to his divine power resisting it, he managed to survive. Otherwise, he felt like he could have died just from that.

“This power is very strong. Apart from divine power, no matter how strong your physical strength is, you can’t resist it!”

It seemed like they were in a tunnel, or perhaps a moving elevator. Everything around them was constantly changing, but it didn’t affect their conversation.

Du Gang nodded, looking around him. Basically, everything within a three-meter radius was visible, but anything beyond that was shrouded in darkness.

About ten seconds later, he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness underneath his feet. The next moment, his feet landed solidly on the ground, and his surroundings changed instantly, revealing a new, unfamiliar place.

Just as they had said, his eyes settled on a huge square.

“This is the guiding square!”

Kong Xu laughed, “Anyone who comes from our universe, as long as they reach the square, can sense the universe and teleport back. But those who were born and raised here can’t do so… ”

As he said this, he seemed to remember the fat Taoist from before and added, “Well, there are some people with special methods who can sneak in. Additionally, those gods, if they forced their way in, they could also enter. After all, our universe used to be inside Supreme Pangu. If it hadn’t been split open, it would have remained hidden and couldn’t have been found… But now, our universe is in a semi-hidden state. If you pay a certain price, you can still enter…”

Meanwhile, Du Gang was surveying his surroundings, finding that the buildings here all held an ancient charm and didn’t show a trace of modernity.

“This place…”

As if knowing what he wanted to ask, Kong Xu chuckled, “There’s no technology here. Technology is unique to our universe. This is the Primordial Continent, they don’t believe in science, they believe in metaphysics!”

Du Gang nodded, indifferent to it. He had long passed the stage of needing to use technology, so it didn’t matter whether he had it or not; at most, he just wouldn’t be able to watch any small animations.

“Let’s go, to Penglai Academy first!”

Kong Xu stepped forward and took the lead.

Du Gang followed. He sensed his surroundings, and as Yao Zixuan had mentioned before, the air here was incredibly fresh, very different from what he had breathed in the universe.

Beyond that, the entire space gave him a very strong sense of pressure.

At the same time, he also felt changes in his body. If he felt his physical body was relaxed in the universe, here his body involuntarily tensed up.

After leaving the square, there was a very narrow street. Few people were moving about, and on either side of the street, apart from some stores that looked like they had been there for an indeterminate amount of time, there were mysterious alleys leading to unknown places.

“Those are slums in the alleyways. Their parents used to be gods, but died in battle…”

Du Gang frowned, “Aren’t there any subsidies available for them?”

“Yes, there are!”

Kong Xu paused unusually before shaking his head, saying, “These people are used to being extravagant and the subsidies are simply not enough…”

“In here, each door leads to a unique small world, which could house tens of thousands of people…”

Du Gang frowned and said, “As long as they’re living, they don’t have to do those things, right?”

Kong Xu shrugged his shoulders, “Who are you asking, me or them? I’m not them, how would I know why they’re doing this job…”

“All for survival!”

At this moment, a harsh female voice called out from the side.

Du Gang turned his head and saw a flashy-dressed lady smoking something that resembled a cigarette, exhaling smoke with grace.

“Survive?”

Du Gang frowned, he examined carefully, and noticed that the woman’s power was at the Sector Lord Level. He asked with confusion: “Why do you need to survive with your power level?”

“My power level~!”

The woman laughed, shaking her head, “You are from the universe, aren’t you?”

“My power level, here, doesn’t even count as a person’s worth, so what power do I have?”

Kong Xu was also curious, “What about the money you earn?”

“Hehe!”

The woman scoffed, “Do you think these people, who can open space portals and possess small worlds, are just ordinary people? Aren’t they all backed by powerful forces?”

“The money we earn, apart from paying the rent, is used for cultivation!”

Kong Xu was speechless for a moment, then he said, “Is there anything I can do for you?”

“Help me?!”

The woman licked her lips and grinned, “If you play a game with me, that would be helping me…”

“Game?”

Kong Xu was startled, “What kind of game, does it cost money?”

The woman laughed, “Not much. Just eighty will do…”

Upon hearing this, Kong Xu finally understood the woman’s profession and hastily pulled Du Gang away.

“Haha!”

After they had left a distance, Du Gang laughed loudly, “Eighty, go! Go play the game!”

Kong Xu’s mouth twitched, ignoring him.

Du Gang moved closer to him, “Wait a minute, you look like an experienced player, why would you run away all of a sudden?!”

In a short while, the two of them arrived at Penglai Academy.

“Is this thing Penglai Academy?!”

Du Gang was astounded, looking at the place in front of him, which was the size of a small kindergarten on the roadside of Earth.

“Ahem!”

An old man at the door cleared his throat, “Young man, don’t look down on this place. As you travelled here, did you ever come across a place like our Penglai Academy that owns an independent courtyard?!”

On hearing this, Du Gang realized it was true. All the way through their journey, they saw clusters of buildings tightly packed together. Even the roads were extremely narrow. This did not match the image of the ancient city he had in his mind.

“Well… that’s too shabby, isn’t it?!”

Du Gang pointed to the sign hanging above the large iron gate that read ‘Penglai Academy’, which had now become ‘Fenglai Academy’.

“Haha!”

The old man laughed, “We can’t help it. Our Penglai Academy is usually quiet, with very few people. It’s normal for the place to fall into disrepair over the years!”

Looking inside, similar to other portals on the roadside, within the courtyard were a line of space doors labeled ‘Tasks’, ‘Merits’, ‘Dormitory’, ‘Teaching’, and so on.

Kong Xu greeted the old man at the door: “Old Liu, we’re heading in!”

“Hmm, go ahead!”

Upon seeing this, Du Gang followed suit and walked towards the space door labeled ‘Teaching’.

Opening the space door, Du Gang was speechless to find that the door was transparent. Through the door, he could see the condition of the space inside.

However, the area behind the door was clearly a small room with only one skylight, obviously used for entry and exit to prevent the world behind the door from being seen by others.

After they entered the room one by one, they closed the door and headed out of the small room.

Outside the little room, the space was significantly larger. Besides the trees planted on both sides of the road, there were a few very tall buildings in the distance, not much different from the other school buildings.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to our class first. This time, there are over a hundred people in our class. In addition to us from the universe, there are also gods from small clans living here…”

“Small clans?”

Kong Xu laughed, “Didn’t I tell you before? Every inch of land here is precious. And the residents are so close to each other. Not far from the ancient city, there are other family residences. If they didn’t need to keep a safe distance, there might not even be any open spaces…”

Du Gang nodded, questioning: “Don’t we need to go register first, or check our dormitories or something?”

“No need for formalities, I’ll bring you directly to the classroom. All of them are waiting, let’s get straight to class…”

Alright then.

Du Gang sighed helplessly. This was probably the most shabby school he had been to, and also the most casual class he had ever taken!

Soon, the two of them walked down the main road and arrived in front of a school building.

Before they even went in, they could hear voices from upstairs.

“You people from the universe have some nerve, making us wait for half an hour!”

“Exactly, we even have to invite them…”

At this moment, even though his power had been greatly suppressed upon arriving here, rendering him unable to fly, his mental strength had evolved into divine thought, allowing him to perceive the surroundings for hundreds of meters.

Thus, he realized that these people had seen him coming and were deliberately speaking in this manner, trying to show him down.

“Stop being sarcastic, who are you talking about!”

This was Long Aotian’s voice. Upon hearing this, the two of them quickly picked up their pace and headed upstairs.

“I’m speaking about him, so what?! Long Aotian, if you refuse to accept it, I’ll beat you up again!”

Shocked, Du Gang thought, Long Aotian got beaten up?

“Coward, don’t get too arrogant. I’m just new here and not familiar with the environment. Wait till I adapt to it, and I’ll finish you off!”

Soon, the two of them arrived in a classroom on the first floor. The students here were clearly divided into two, confrontation evident between them.

Long Aotian’s side consisted of students from the universe, and the other side consisted of students from the Primordial Continent, all dressed in local attire.

Ahead of the other group was a man with a dragon horn atop his head, obviously, he was someone from the Dragon family.

“You are the Ancient God?!”

The boy at the front turned his head disdainfully as Du Gang entered the room.

Du Gang glanced at him, saying with a mocking tone: “And who might you be?!”

If this guy wants to pick a fight, Du Gang is not going to be polite!

“You’re looking for trouble, daring to look at me like that!”

The young boy with dragon-like horns was ready to start a fight with Du Gang.

Just then, a commanding voice came through.

“Quiet, everyone take your seats now!”

Following the voice, they saw a middle-aged bald man standing on the podium, watching them intently.

At his words, the young boy with the dragon-like horns immediately stopped, and, without a word, quickly found a seat like an obedient student.

It was the same for the rest of their group, all appearing to be quite well-behaved.

The people, on Long Aotian’s side, also got smart and quickly settled down.

Seeing this, Du Gang too, along with Young Master Kong Xu, promptly sat down near the entrance.

Once everyone was seated, the man on the podium nodded with satisfaction, and stated solemnly: “My name is Xiang Xinjian, a True God Level being. I am your class teacher for this special class!”.

“I will only say this once, no one is to speak when I am speaking, unless permitted, otherwise…”

He doesn’t say what the consequences would be, but the threat was clear.

More alarming was the imposing aura of killing intent and the lingering smell of blood surrounding Xiang Xinjian, as if he had just killed someone.

All present shuddered, with absolutely no thoughts of defiance.

“Now, I will begin taking attendance, everyone get familiar with each other!”

With that, Xiang Xinjian began to call out the names.

“Du Gang!”

Coincidentally, the first name was Du Gang’s.

Hearing his name, Du Gang immediately stood up and declared, “Here!”

Regretting it afterward, it was an instinct bred by the military drills during his first year at Nanyuan Experimental Middle School. You must stand straight and yell ‘Here’ during roll call. Little did he know that he would have such a conditioned reflex now.

God, he was a God-Level being, and he was doing this. Wasn’t that just too humiliating?!

“Pfft!”

As he expected, the students around started laughing.

They might have also been students in their past lives, but that was tens of thousands of years ago.

Xiang Xinjian paused for a moment, then praised, “Good! As expected of the Ancient God, your spirit is very strong!”

“Long Aoshi!”

“Here!”

The little punk who had been at odds with Long Aotian earlier just raised his hand.

Seeing this, Xiang Xianjian’s face darkened.

“You, didn’t you see what the first person did?!”

Saying this, an invisible aura emanated from him.

Long Aoshi jumped in surprise and quickly followed Du Gang’s example, standing up and shouting, “Here!”

Xiang Xinjian scolded him angrily, “Do you not eat? As a man, why is your voice so soft? Are you even a man?”

Long Aoshi’s face turned beet red, and upon hearing that, he quickly stood up again and yelled, “Here!”

Xiang Xinjian then nodded and said, “Not bad, everyone else take note, follow this standard, nothing less!”

The others were left speechless.

But they had no choice but to follow suit.

As a result, the entire class erupted with roars of “Here!”

Du Gang scratched his head.

This has nothing to do with me, right?

It was Xiang Xinjian who asked them to do this, right?!

Soon, the roll call was finished, everyone was present.

Xiang Xinjian continued, “You guys are lucky to be part of the special class!”

“Such special classes often take a million years to form at Penglai Academy, and only when there are enough Sequential Disciples promoted to the God Spirit Level, will they exist!”

A million years?

Du Gang was stunned. Wasn’t the last Golden Age ten million years ago?

Seemingly for the benefit of those from the universe, Xiang Xinjian explained, “In the universe, it often takes about ten million years for a batch of super-geniuses to appear. But here on the Primordial Continent, there are many heroes, and there are many opportunities for breakthroughs to the God Spirit Level. So roughly every million years, there will be more…”

Du Gang suddenly realized. The god clans here were numerous, and whenever a powerful individual emerged, they would challenge everyone else. These individuals also had the opportunity to participate, and naturally, their chances of being promoted were greater.

Although Xiang Xinjian had finished speaking, he had actually left out some facts.

While the geniuses of the Primordial Continent might be more abundant, the probability of top-tier geniuses emerging was less than that of those who arrived from the universe.

Otherwise, the children of the Great Powers, like Long Aotian, would not have been sent specifically to Penglai Island to be born.

Compared to the Great Powers whose children were sent to Penglai Island to be born, true gods, or some wealthy God Spirit Level beings, still preferred their children to be born in the Ancient City.

“So you are a group of people who have formed a class in the past million years. You have surpassed many others!”

“You can say that you are the best talents of these million years and are a small part of the group that the Ancient City focuses on nurturing!”

Xiang Xinjian proceeded, “In this class, I will train you all to the True God Level, or until someone drops out of the Sequential Disciple group, until there’s no one left who deserves to stay…”

Train directly to the True God Level?!

Du Gang was surprised, but then understood. These people were indeed the most talented, and if they had no confidence in breaking through to the True God Level, the others would find it even more difficult.

Also, this was the purpose of these classes: to cultivate top-level talents into True God Level, and then consider them to have graduated.

“Next, I will explain the rules and regulations within the academy!”

“Dormitories, everyone has their own room in the adjacent dormitory space…”

“Classes, gather here every day at 8 a.m., theory lessons in the morning, practical lessons in the afternoon…”

Xiang Xinjian seriously said: “You will have a training period of a year. During this year, I will be with the class teaching…”

“Teaching you the specific use of divine bodies and divine powers, along with some deep abyss related lessons…”

“After a year, I will assess you all. If you pass, then you are free to train and learn on your own…”

“Aside from this, on joining the academy, you gain two major benefits. First, as long as you are a student of the academy, you don’t need to serve, meaning until you become a True God Level being, you don’t need to!”

“The second benefit, here, you have access to resources from thousands of families, countless precious treasures. As long as you have merit points, you can exchange for anything. The details are in the merit room, you can check it out when you’re free…”

Soon, Xiang Xinjian went over a few basic rules and regulations.

“Next, our first lesson, ‘Getting to Know Yourself’!”

“Ah?”

Someone was stunned, “Is this the start of the class?”

“Deduct a merit point!”

Xiang Xinjian pointed at the student who was talking nonsense and casually stated.

Most of the people were scared, quickly hiding their doubts.

Only Du Gang was somewhat curious, not knowing how much this merit point was worth.

He didn’t know how much it was worth compared to Saint Crystal…

Just as he had this thought, Xiang Xinjian seemed to hear his words and casually said: “Saint Crystals are the currency of the universe. They are not commonly used on the Primordial Continent. The smallest denomination here is Divine Crystals. One Divine Crystal is equivalent to ten thousand Saint Crystals in your place!”

“In addition to Divine Crystals, there are other materials like sources and Rune Stones that can be used as equivalent substitutes…”

“One gram of source is worth ten thousand Divine Crystals!”

Hisss!

Du Gang took a deep breath.

He hadn’t expected this stuff to be so valuable, no wonder so many people gamble with stones. One gram is worth ten thousand Divine Crystals, which is equivalent to one hundred million Saint Crystals, wow!

Xiang Xinjian nodded: “Indeed, they’re valuable. The main reason is that sources are very helpful for cultivating Divine Power and the Divine Body.”

He glanced at Du Gang, reminded him: “Right now, your Divine Thought is out without any defense, which can be sensed by any True God Level powerhouse.”

“What?!”

Du Gang was shocked. He thought Xiang Xinjian seemed to know what he was thinking. As soon as he had a thought here, it was explained there.

He quickly asked, “Teacher, what do you mean by Divine Thought being out and the protection you mentioned?!”

Hearing this, Xiang Xinjian didn’t speak. However, Long Aoshi who was sitting beside them looked very pleased.

This kid should be punished, hehe!

Xiang Xinjian glanced at Long Aoshi, ignored him, looked at Du Gang, and rarely showed a faint smile: “Divine Thought being out refers to the thoughts in your mind.”

“From the moment you ascend to God Spirit Level, your body is no longer ordinary. Whether it’s mental power, thoughts, energy, or your body, they all have magical functions…”

“Like just now, I can clearly see what you’re thinking in your heart!”

Everyone in the field was startled: “Then, teacher, how to protect ourselves in such situation?”

Xiang Xinjian casually said: “It’s generally difficult for God Spirit Level to protect themselves, but as long as you restrain your thoughts and don’t just think about anything, then naturally you won’t be detected!”

“What?”

The crowd wailed: doesn’t this mean they can’t have any secrets in their hearts?!

Xiang Xinjian smiled: “But, don’t worry. Once you ignite the first fire of Godhood and have Divine consciousness, you can block the same level from viewing your Divine Thought…”

“Same level?”

Du Gang noticed this word.

Xiang Xinjian immediately looked at him approvingly: “Yes, the same level. Divine Thought is your thoughts, which are almost endless. Therefore, you can only use Divine Consciousness to shield them, but this shield can only block those who are weaker than you…”

“Then, teacher, how to protect from higher level viewing our Divine Thought?”

Xiang Xinjian smiled: “There’s no way, the only solution is to not think!”

“It’s actually very easy, just empty your mind, don’t think wildly in front of the powerful ones, then everything will be fine!”

Du Gang had an enlightenment, looking at Xiang Xinjian’s face, pondering.

Could it be that the reason why Xiang Xinjian is so cold is because he’s afraid of being read by others, so…

Before he could continue with his thoughts, he saw that Xiang Xinjian had been staring at him, which immediately startled him.

Damn, he forgot that he could see…

Don’t think…

Quickly, Du Gang, according to Xiang Xinjian’s method, emptied his mind and began to clear it.

Seeing this, Xiang Xinjian nodded: “Good, that’s the feeling of an empty mind…”

The rest of the students also quickly started to clear their minds and stop thinking wildly.

So, becoming a God comes with this side effect… don’t think, don’t think!

That day, all the students in the classroom were in a daze.

They were used to thinking wildly since they were young, now letting them clear their minds, it’s too difficult, every once in a while, someone would start to thnk randomly.

However, they’ve also learned to be smart. No matter what they think, they dare not think about Xiang Xinjian.

“You, deduct two merit points!!”

“What?”

Long Aoshi was dumbfounded.

Xiang Xinjian laughed coldly: “Don’t think I can’t deal with you just because you’re thinking wildly in your heart!”

Long Aoshi was somewhat angry, “Teacher, are you targeting me on purpose? What did I do? Why are you deducting my points?”

“Targeting you? You’re not qualified!”

Xiang Xinjian wasn’t angry, he still spoke in a calm tone: “What you’re thinking about is enough for me to deduct your points. As for the reason, you interrupted, and you don’t obey the class rules!”

Long Aoshi quickly realized something. He didn’t continue talking, but sat down in his seat with a sullen face.

Seeing that no one was talking nonsense again, Xiang Xinjian said: “In the next few days, it’s better for you to practice being empty-minded often. Don’t be like a fool every day, thinking bad things about others in front of them!”

Hearing this, Du Gang curiously asked: “Teacher, if we want to see other people’s thoughts, what level do we need to be?”

Xiang Xinjian casually said: “It’s very simple, light the first fire of Godhood and you can see other people’s Divine Thoughts. The eyes are the windows through which the gods in our body observe the world. The first fire is at the top of our heads. As long as it’s lit, our seven senses will greatly increase!”

“In addition, there are some magical functions, we will talk about these bit by bit…”

He talked about many basic things after advancing to the God Spirit level for about a morning.

Then, check the time, and said: “Now follow me to the Martial Training Ground, it’s time for practical class!”

“What?”

Du Gang was stunned, “Don’t we have a break?”

Isn’t it customary to rest after class?

He was too young, his mentality haven’t changed yet. His current school experience still remained in the Nanyuan Experimental phase.

Although he had attended school at the Heavenly Pride Academy, he didn’t really have classes at that time. Basically, he was just self-training and he didn’t stay for long!

Xiang Xinjian was speechless: “You’re already a God Spirit now, why would you need a break? To go to the toilet?!”

“Hahaha!”

The whole class burst out laughing.

Du Gang immediately closed his mouth.

He also realized his mistake, mainly because he was used to self-training without anyone teaching. Now, following the class, he felt a bit unsuited.

Soon, the class arrived at the Martial Training Ground.

First, they saw a giant pillar that was about a hundred meters tall, they didn’t know what it was for.

The students present were all curious. While some of them grew up on the Primordial Continent, nobody told them about these things before they reached the God Spirit level.

“That’s used to test jumping!”

“What?”

The group of people who came from the universe were all somewhat dull. They didn’t know if the meaning was literal.

However, the local people didn’t have much of a reaction.

Seeing their expressions, Xiang Xinjian laughed: “Du Gang, come out!”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang quickly stood up.

“You! Go stand in front of that giant pillar!”

Hearing this, Du Gang obediently followed suit and quickly went over.

Xiang Xinjian continued, “Now, exert all your strength and jump on the spot!”

Du Gang nodded his head, he too wanted to test himself and see how suppressed his strength was on the Primordial Continent.

His knees slightly bent, power gathering in his feet, he forcefully jumped.

“Boom!”

In an instant, his legs left the ground, and like a frog jumping in place, his body sprung up.

“Thunk!”

“Stomp!”

Soon, he landed back on the ground, looking somewhat bewildered.

He was jumping towards the giant pillar, so once he jumped, he could clearly see the numbers marked on the pillar.

The height he jumped was: 6 meters.

“6 meters, not bad!”

Xiang Xinjian chuckled.

Hearing his laugh, the local students couldn’t hold back and all burst into laughter.

Seeing this, the students from the universe were taken aback, not understanding the situation.

Xiang Xinjian shook his head and said, “All of you, in order of sequence, take turns to jump, locals go first!”

Upon hearing these words, the students on the scene immediately geared up, full of vigor.

Long Aoshi, in particular, was the first to step forward, a mocking expression on his face as he looked at Du Gang, scornfully saying, “Watch carefully!”

Du Gang’s brow furrowed slightly, he had only jumped 6 meters high, although in the universe, it had been a long time since he had jumped, most of the time he could directly fly.

But the strength in his legs was absolutely not a joke, 6 meters, that was not even as good as when he was on Earth.

Is the suppressive force on the Primordial Continent that strong?

Long Aoshi quickly stood under the giant pillar, a smirk in his eyes, before provocatively raising his eyebrows at the universe students, then he crouched down slightly and jumped forcefully.

“Boom!”

Immediately, Long Aoshi jumped one fifth of the pillar’s height, about twenty meters high, before slowly descending.

“What…?”

Watching this scene, Du Gang and Long Aotian and others were all puzzled, unable to understand why.

Could it be that Du Gang’s strength had weakened?

Or was it that Long Aoshi was too strong?!

The crowd, carrying doubts, kept watching.

Next, the local students all managed to maintain jumping heights of over ten meters, although none could surpass Long Aoshi, they were all much higher than Du Gang!

In a short while, the local students had all finished their tests, they all looked at the students from the universe with triumphant expressions, chuckling coldly. While they couldn’t say anything too harsh as the instructor was present, their mockery was at its height.

Confronted with the people shaking their heads in front of him, acting as if they were mocking his weakness, Du Gang took a mental note of them without a second thought.

Just you wait, you’ll get what’s coming!

Soon, it was Long Aotian’s turn, he was the first from the universe to test after Du Gang.

He quickly stood beneath the giant pillar, gathering his strength, he jumped forcefully.

“Boom!”

Surprisingly, he didn’t even surpass Du Gang, he had only jumped 5 meters high before slowly descending.

“What on earth is happening?!”

He was stunned, so were the people from the universe.

Long Aotian was similar to them, if Long Aotian and Du Gang could only jump this high, others were likely the same.

As expected, every one of them had similar results, jumping only from four to five meters high.

Soon, it was Little Hawk King’s turn. Suddenly, his wings behind his back spread open and he pushed off the ground.

“Swoosh!”

In an instant, he took off and truly flew like an eagle, soaring past the giant pillar and flying above the crowd.

“Ah?!”

The crowd was stunned, wasn’t this supposed to be a jumping test? How the hell did he start flapping his wings and fly?!

“Teacher, he’s cheating!”

A local student complained.

Xiang Xinjian gave a faint smile, with a wave of his hand, the Little Hawk King who was soaring through the sky slowly descended.

He looked at the student and gently said, “I ask you, if on the battlefield, Little Hawk King is your enemy, if he can fly and you can’t, will he stop flying just because you ask him?!”

The local student was taken aback and shook his head, “No, he won’t!”

Xiang Xinjian nodded, “Since you know, then don’t say such things anymore, this is a college, the aim is to nurture you, to make you successful, to fully utilize your strengths and advantages, not to teach mediocrity…”

“Little Hawk King, I will talk with you about your wings and the problems with your future cultivation later, don’t leave after class…”

He continued, “Now, I’m going to tell you why…”

“The Primordial Continent is a place with solid space and strong gravity. In the universe, you might be able to travel tens of millions of miles in one step, but here, you may only be able to jump just over ten meters…”

“Here, if you want to fly, unless you have wings like Little Hawk King, you’ll have to reach the True God Level to do it…”

“So, those of you from the universe may experience some discomfort at first, but once your bodies slowly get used to it, you’ll be fine…”

“Of course, there are also benefits. Because you all come from a place with lower spatial level, have all experienced flying and have an inborn advantage when it comes to aerial combat and flying. So, when you reach the True God Level, your initial combat power will definitely be stronger than those from the locals who have just reached that level…”

He wasn’t biased, and he pointed out some advantages of the universe humans, achieving a balance between the two sides.

The local students and universe students, almost every time, had such conflict.

Addressing this situation, Xiang Xinjian didn’t aim for reconciliation, instead he decided to let them grow through competition, while not allowing one side to suppress the other too much.

At this moment, Du Gang finally realized why Kong Xu’s father had birthed him on Penglai Island.

Apparently, there, he could unlock more abilities…

“Ahem!”

Xiang Xinjian glanced at Du Gang and coughed.

This immediately startled Du Gang, who quickly withdrew his thoughts and noted to himself to stay alert at all times in the future.

It seemed as though Xiang Xinjian had suddenly thought of something, he began speaking, “Du Gang, transform for a moment and let me see!”

Transform?

Du Gang then remembered, he had heard from Yao Zixuan before that, even for an Ancient God like him, upon coming to the Primordial Continent, his transformation ability would also be suppressed.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, “Everyone, move away a bit, be careful not to get hurt!”

Upon hearing this, many students immediately scattered around.

However, local students only moved back a few tens of meters before stopping.

Long Aotian coldly said, “You probably don’t know how formidable an Ancient God is, in the universe, his height can reach up to a hundred thousand kilometers…”

Hearing this, the local students paused for a moment, but soon, they backed away again.

Though they wished to challenge Du Gang they weren’t willing to gamble with their lives, so they all retreated to a great distance.

Soon, there were no other students within ten kilometers of him, except for Xiang Xinjian.

Xiang Xinjian also felt a little uneasy, unsure of what Du Gang might transform into. He flew up into the air to a safe distance before nodding, “Begin!”

Seeing this, Du Gang didn’t hesitate.

“Transform!”

“Boom!”

A light sound resonated and, gradually, a three-meter-tall giant appeared on the scene.

“Huh?”

Everyone who was watching the scene displayed dumbfounded expressions.

What happened to the Ancient God?!

What happened to the giant?!

“Where’s my billion-meter height?”

Du Gang was also taken aback, staring at the towering figure in front of him, lost for words.

Xiang Xinjian nodded after seeing this scenario and descended back down from his flight then calmly said, “Just about what I expected…”

“Are you disappointed?”

Corner of Du Gang’s mouth started twitching, “Teacher, I just defied the heavens and eliminated a tribulation and passed the Ancient God’s tribulation…”

Xiang Xinjian shook his head, “Like I said, the universe is constantly expanding. Everything, including your actions, strengths, etc., seem to receive blessings but are only make-believe…”

“Over there, it’s a diminutive world, and its strength level is lower compared to this place. You can simply consider the universe as a place of lesser gravity, and this place as one filled with intense gravity, prohibiting you from doing as per your own desires…”

“Let’s put it this way—in here, even if a God Spirit has never been to your universe, as long as it’s a God Spirit, once it arrives there, it would certainly possess the power you’ve exhibited there!”

Du Gang understood Xiang Xinjian’s figurative language. It was just like he had painstakingly cultivated into a superhero on Earth, only to realize everyone in the heroic world was just an average person…

However, he subconsciously resonated once and found out he could still utilize his Jie-Character Secret, his Supreme Technique, as well as the Saintly Technique.

Moreover, all of his strange phenomena after upgrading to the God Spirit level were also available to him.

Only his physical strength and transformation ability were being suppressed, and this suppression didn’t apply only to him, but also to everyone else.

“So, basically, if we return to the universe, we’ll still possess our previous strength, maybe even stronger, but here we are nothing more than weaklings?!”

“Weaklings?”

Xiang Xinjian paused for a moment, understood his rationale, and nodded, “Yes, to put it bluntly, you all are weaklings here!”

As expected, the universe was just a lower world compared to the Primordial Continent.

In fact, the gap between the Primordial Continent and the universe is more evident than the disparity between the center and the edge of the universe.

Actually, considering it as a lower world, the Primordial Continent was the real world. The universe was just a world within Pangu, hence could exert presence in varying forms.

He calmly said, “Those of you who come from the universe often can’t see this clearly. After all, when you start off with divine power and come here, you may still be called a God Spirit, but you’re just an existence akin to human beings, and it’s very difficult to adjust this mentality…”

He looked at Du Gang and comforted, “Du Gang, don’t be distraught about your transformation being only three meters tall. Your strength has doubled in comparison. If you were to compete with others now, I reckon you can easily defeat the Second Tribulation God Spirits, as long as they don’t employ their deities!”

Noticing that the students from the universe seemed to be in low spirits, he laughed, “What I said just now only pertains to physical strength. But the reason you can still be called a God Spirit is that you possess a deity…”

“If you have a deity, even if your physical strength is lacking, you can still display formidable power…”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang didn’t think twice and summoned his internal deity.

Suddenly, a flash of golden light radiated, and a deity clad in golden armor emerged.

Xiang Xinjian nodded, “In this place, the role of deities has been magnified to an unlimited extent…”

He continued, “Du Gang, try allowing your deity to fly!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden deity in front of Du Gang quickly took to the air with an impressive speed.

Xiang Xinjian blandly said, “You see, what I meant was that you have been knocked back to your original state in terms of power, but being at the God Spirit Level involves more than just power…”

“At the God Spirit Level, three aspects are primarily cultivated: the Deity, Divine Power, and Divine Body!”

“Your power is weak because your Divine Body is too weak…”

“Moreover, besides the Divine Body, you can cultivate the Divine Power to amplify your power and unleash more terrifying attacks…”

“If you learn to cultivate the three methods of Deity, Divine Power, Divine Body and use them together, your combat power will skyrocket…”

He looked at the cosmic students and said with a laugh, “You like analogies, don’t you?”

“Let me put it this way, a student who has mastered the correct use of Deity, Divine Power, Divine Body, and excelled with them, even if their cultivation is only at the level of a First Tribulation God Spirit, if they go to the universe, let alone a Second Tribulation God Spirit, even an average Third Tribulation God Spirit may not defeat them!”

Hearing this, everyone sighed in relief.

They were not getting weaker. Their way of fighting had changed in the future and they would become stronger!

“The most important thing at the God Spirit level is the Deity, followed by Divine Power, and finally the Divine Body…”

“Deity is the seat of our human souls, you probably don’t know, after becoming a God Spirit, even if the flesh body dies, as long as the Deity escapes, it can survive…”

Du Gang curiously asked, “Teacher, what happens after the Deity escapes?”

“It can reconstruct the flesh body!”

Xiang Xinjian was very fond of Du Gang, who was the most studious student. Everyone in the class had their thoughts and doubts, but the one who asked the questions most frequently was Du Gang.

“The cultivation of Divine Body is more than just the growth of attack and defense power, it involves cultivating the Divine Orifice and creating more places to store Divine Power!”

“Only in this way, can you launch a stronger attack…”

Du Gang again asked, “What are the specific cultivation methods for Deity, Divine Power, and Divine Body?”

Xiang Xinjian smiled and said, “It’s simple. Deity can be cultivated by enhancing Mental Power or through external objects such as Rune Stones. A Rune Stone can significantly speed up the process of igniting the Divine Fire…”

“And Divine Power is also simple, you can use the Origin to continue polishing and enhancing its power value…”

“As for the Divine Body, in addition to creating the Divine Orifice, the only thing left is to enhance the physical strength…”

Clearly, Xiang Xinjian didn’t pay much attention to the Divine Body. Or rather, on the Primordial Continent, people primarily cultivate Deity.

After all, even if the physical body is prematurely destroyed, as long as the Deity survives, the person can stay alive. Anyone would want to elevate their Deity.

Having said that, Xiang Xinjian said, “These things are all of great value, each worth at least ten thousand Divine Crystals. But don’t worry, the academy has a merit point system…”

“One merit point is equal to one Divine Crystal. In the academy, you can earn merit points by carrying out tasks, ranking, and so on…”

“Also, as long as you are still enrolled in the academy, each year, the academy will give you ten merit points. Furthermore, as special class members, the top ten in class assessments will receive additional merit point rewards…”

“The first place receives ten points, second place nine points… tenth place one point!”

Hearing this, everyone started to regard each other as competitors.

The first place gets ten merit points, equivalent to ten Divine Crystals!

“Teacher, how often are class assessments held?”

Xiang Xinjian smiled and said, “Once at the end of the first year, and then every hundred years after that…”

Although it didn’t seem much, these were freebies. Why refuse them?

“Besides, during the first year for the special class, you can have a class leader. Who wants to be it?!”

Everyone paused, then quickly asked, “What are the benefits of being a class leader?”

Xiang Xinjian smiled and said, “Naturally, the class leader has advantages. In the first year, a class leader can be elected every month, with an additional reward of ten merit points!”

At these words, everyone’s eyes lit up.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

Nearly everyone raised their hands immediately.

“Teacher, I want to be the class leader!”

Xiang Xinjian greeted them with a slight smile, saying, “The class leader represents the face of your special class and is often subject to attack…”

“Attack?”

Everyone was taken aback, not understanding what he meant.

Xiang Xinjian smiled and said, “Do you think there’s only your special class here?!”

“Like I said, on average there’s been a special class every million years, and over time, there are still over a dozen special classes that have not graduated or disbanded!”

“There is competition between the special classes, but that starts only a year from now. For now, you don’t need to worry about that. Regardless, the class leader must be the strongest!”

Hearing this, Long Aoshi laughed out loud, saying, “Looks like I’ve securely got the position of class leader this time!”

Most of the local students sighed and reluctantly put their hands down when they heard this.

They had been with Long Aoshi the longest and knew his strength, so they had no hope at this moment.

The cosmic students, however, all frowned.

Just before, Long Aotian had fought with Long Aoshi, and Long Aotian was badly beaten. They could see that Long Aoshi was very strong.

Xiang Xinjian looked around and then turned to Du Gang, asking, “Du Gang, do you want to compete for the class leader?”

He was actually quite interested in the Ancient God. This question was not asked because he thought Du Gang could defeat Long Aoshi, but to hopefully learn more about him through battle.

Upon hearing this, Du Gang nodded and said, “Ten merit points every month equals ten Divine Crystals. I want it!”

Although his tone was very domineering, the crowd didn’t react much.

After all, they had all seen Du Gang’s performance before.

His high jump score was only 6 meters, his height in the transformed state was only 3 meters. So, his strength certainly wasn’t great.

And Long Aoshi, like him, just advanced, isn’t trained in divinity and divine power, but on the basis of the physical body, it is stronger than Du Gang!

“You want it?”

Long Aoshi sneered, “You’re pretty big-mouthed. What are you basing your demand on? Your 6-meter high jump?!”

Kid, you love to show off every day, let’s see how I’m going to beat you!

“Hahaha!”

Immediately, a group of local students burst into laughter.

Long Aotian and the others, on the other hand, felt awful. They had never been so disdained by their peers before in their lives.

Although Du Gang was the one being talked about, since Du Gang was the most talented among their cosmic group, weren’t they all collectively losing face?!

Du Gang glanced at him indifferently, “What, are we going to compete in a high jump too?”

“Are you a frog? Do you gain mating rights by jumping high?!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Everyone was taken aback by Du Gang’s sharp tongue.

“Hahaha!”

Then, Long Aotian and the others began to laugh. Like the local students, they laughed exaggeratedly.

Xiang Xinjian didn’t interfere with this. Growing through conflicts was not a problem. It’s just that Du Gang and his group might face some setbacks.

If you encounter setbacks, then encounter them. After all, these cosmic students were not very aware of their own strengths, and they needed to be shattered and rebuilt.

Xiang Xinjian nodded and asked, “Anyone else want to compete for the position of class leader?”

Everyone thought for a moment, and in the end, they all shook their heads.

The local students didn’t want to fight because they knew Long Aoshi’s strength.

As for the cosmic students, after Long Aotian’s defeat, they had a clear understanding of the gap between them and the others.

They knew, except for studying divinity, divine power, body training methods, and making a comeback, at this stage, they could not defeat Long Aoshi.

Just on the adaptability of the body, they already lost.

At this moment, most of them haven’t fully adapted to the Primordial Continent.

Xiang Xinjian nodded and said, “In that case, you two will compete!”

Soon, everyone cleared some space and started watching eagerly.

Long Aoshi was pumped. He said excitedly, “Du Gang, I hope that your strength is as big as your mouth!”

Kid, you’re screwed. This time, I will let everyone know that I, Long Aoshi, am not inferior to any Ancient God!

Du Gang assumed his usual slanted-eye posture and calmly said, “Don’t worry, even if I win, I’m not going to fight with you for mating rights with any mother frog!”

“You ….”

The color of Long Aoshi’s face sank. He had just uttered a word, and suddenly, the Du Gang in front of him suddenly ran towards him.

Jie-Character Secret activated!

Du Gang had been talking non-stop before to activate the Jie-Character Secret continuously. Now that it had activated, he naturally didn’t stop for a moment and charged straight up.

Everyone who saw this was taken aback and wondered, “How did he move so fast?!”

“Boom!”

Du Gang hit Long Aoshi’s chin in a flash.

“I ….”

At this moment, before Long Aoshi could even finish the second word, it was forced back by an overwhelming punch.

He was sent flying by that punch, suspended in the air.

“Whoosh!”

Without pausing his attack, Du Gang stepped forward, his fists hammering down on Long Aoshi’s face like a machine gun.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

In an instant, his face was hit dozens of times. His originally fair face immediately swelled up into a pig-head-like appearance.

“God!”

Although Long Aoshi was hammered dozens of times in an instant, he didn’t sustain much damage as his bodily defense was not weak. He reacted in time and summoned his divine power.

“Boom!”

A golden light flashed and a dragon-shaped divinity flew out to bite Du Gang.

“Humph!”

Du Gang let out a cold snort and then summoned his own divinity.

His divinity was of the same model as himself, and at this moment it was also shimmering with golden light.

“Kill!”

Soon, the two divinities clashed.

However, what astonished everyone was that Du Gang’s divinity was clearly much stronger. As soon as they touched, the dragon-shaped divinity was beaten back and its golden light began to flicker.

“Boom!”

In just an instant, Du Gang punched the dragon-shaped divinity, causing it to disperse and recede back into Long Aoshi’s body.

“This …”

At this moment, Long Aoshi had just landed. Watching this scene, he was completely dumbfounded.

“Step! Step!”

However, Du Gang did not relax his guard. He stepped forward twice and continued to attack Long Aoshi.

Seeing this, Long Aoshi finally couldn’t hold back any longer and released his spectacle.

“Boom!”

A large lotus pond suddenly emerged.

Unlike Long Aotian’s spectacle, his is a pond.

Obviously, on the Primordial Continent, though physical strength is suppressed, other means, like spectacles and deities, remain more or less the same.

Seeing this, Du Gang broke into a mild smile.

“You dare to show your spectacle?!”

Understandably, everyone was a bit confused, but then their realizations dawned.

“Right, the Ancient God has already reached the God Spirit Level, theoretically, his spectacle should be manifesting now…”

“We have no idea what his spectacle is!”

Not only them, Xiang Xinjian was also dying of curiosity, keen to know what Du Gang’s spectacle was.

“Boom!”

Just then, a giant figure emerged.

The moment this spectacle came into appearance, it immediately forced Long Aoshi’s water-pond spectacle back.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, to everyone’s surprise, Long Aoshi’s spectacle directly crumbled and vanished.

“What… ”

“His spectacle is actually himself!”

Everyone was shocked.

Looking at the spectacle, it was a giant figure that appeared to be even larger than Du Gang himself. The giant’s face was exactly the same as Du Gang’s!

“Bang!”

While the crowd was lost in astonishment, Du Gang was not. His figure turned in a flash, arriving next to Long Aoshi and kicked him.

“Boom!”

Instantly, a black shoe print appeared on Long Aoshi’s face, sending him hurtling backward.

“Thump, thump, thump!”

After rolling several times from the impact, he finally came to a stop.

Seeing this, Du Gang turned to Xiang Xinjian with a smiling face, “Teacher, I should be the class leader now, right?”

Xiang Xinjian nodded and declared, “Okay, since the victory is decided, Du Gang will be the class leader for the first month. At the end of the month, if anyone else wants to be the class leader, they can challenge him…”

Hearing this, the crowd was fired up again, their fighting spirits rekindled.

“This is only temporary!”

“Yes, we just arrived here, I haven’t acclimated yet. When I get used to it, I’ll compete for class leader!”

“Right, this is just the beginning, nothing is set in stone, we could be the dark horse!”

All the guys present were proud individuals, and none of them were willing to bow down to others easily.

Only Long Aoshi, whose face wore an expression of desolation at that moment.

Without even lifting his head, he knew his face was probably as swollen as a pig’s head.

What can he do?

Pretend to faint!

If he didn’t faint, how could he face everyone? This was too embarrassing!

Having sensed Long Aoshi’s thoughts, Xiang Xinjian, smiled without forcing him to get up. “Since the class leader has been selected, I will now teach you all how to ignite the divine flame!”

Possibly fearing that Long Aoshi wouldn’t hear, Xiang Xinjian walked over to where he lay. Once all the students had gathered, he announced, “Practicing deities is a simple matter of continuously increasing your divine consciousness…”

“Where does divine consciousness come from? From mental power…”

“Mental power is something that can be cultivated, but it is one level inferior to deities…”

“After absorbing mental power, it needs to be refined into divine brilliance that deities can absorb…”

“So, before practicing deities, we need to ignite the divine fire…”

“There are nine divine fires in total, located in nine different parts of the body…”

“Each time a divine fire is ignited, the speed of refining mental power will become faster, which means your practice of deities will be quicker…”

Xiang Xinjian quickly explained the method of igniting the divine fire. This method was not difficult nor obscure, and was common knowledge throughout the continent. It was safe and universally adapted by everyone.

“You need to let the deities calmly sense and find the ignition point…”

“Under normal circumstances, you could practice…”

These guys were all proud geniuses, best to downplay the timeframe a bit, or they’ll get arrogant.

He pondered for two seconds and continued. “Practice for about a year, and you’ll be able to ignite the first divine fire. However, the subsequent divine fires will get harder and harder to ignite. This is normal, don’t get disheartened…”

At this point, a student asked, “Teacher, how long did it take you to ignite your divine fire?”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xinjian gave the student an approving glance and laughed. “When I did it, my aptitude was average. It took me a whole half a month to comprehend the first divine fire…”

Based on these guys’ aptitude, they should be able to ignite the first divine fire in about a month. If he said it took him half a month, he will only seem to be better by half, hehe.

He added, “The divine fire really depends on one’s aptitude. It only affects the speed of refining mental power. So, not everyone can ignite all nine divine fires!”

“In fact, most people can only ignite one or two divine fires. Only a very few can ignite more than that!”

Perhaps afraid that the students would be disheartened, Xiang Xinjian chuckled. “For now, just try it casually. It’s fine if you can’t make it. This thing is not actually…”

Suddenly, a voice interrupted him.

“Teacher, do you see this? Is this the divine fire?”

Every student was trying to listen to Xiang Xinjian’s explanation while trying to experiment in secret. Hearing this, they all swiftly turned their heads.

Not far from Xiang Xinjian stood Du Gang. His deity was levitating in front of him, with a blazing flame burning at its crown.

“What?!”

Startled, Xiang Xinjian stuttered, “You have cultivated it?!”

Damn, what kind of student is this?

Had he not known that Du Gang had only broken through to the God Spirit Level and passed the Ancient God Tribulation not long ago, he would have suspected that he might have practiced the divine fire before.

Not only him, the others also curiously examined the flame above Du Gang’s deity.

“Is that the divine fire?”

“Wasn’t it supposed to take a year? How did he do it so quickly?!”

Du Gang asked back in confusion, “Is it difficult to practice?”

Invisible competition is the most fatal!

At this moment, Xiang Xinjian, let alone the other students, all wanted to drag Du Gang away.

A twitch appeared at the corner of Xiang Xinjian’s mouth and he said flatly, “Class over, students. That’s all for today’s lesson. Go back later and go over today’s teachings. That will be all for today!”

After that, he took off immediately and left swiftly.

He was just afraid if he didn’t leave now, he wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to punch!

PS: I’m flabbergasted. I wrote almost 18 hours today and only wrote 30,000 words. I’ll continue tomorrow and aim for 40,000 words.
