Translator: 549690339
In the realm of the soul, other than the dean of the Soul Academy who seems to have merged with a rule, it could be no one else.
Of course, the tension within Milton Cheney only lasted for an instant.
After all, Cheney was somewhat confident about the simulator.
Since the simulator stated that anomalies won’t be detected during reincarnation simulation, then there certainly won’t be any anomalies detected.
So even if the dean of the Soul Academy did check on him in the end, Cheney wouldn’t panic.
“When the Dean returns, I will let him examine your case.”
“As for the matters within the Academy, the Academy Manual records it very clearly, so don’t forget to read it.”
“If there’s anything you can’t handle, you can always contact me. But you’ll only be officially accepted as a student when you become a level three Spiritualist.”
Seeing Cheney nodded, the old man knew that Cheney understood who he was talking about.
Therefore, he simply came out with it. After his words fell, he didn’t linger on the platform for long, he disappeared as soon as he moved.
Cheney’s gaze lingered on the spot where the old man disappeared for a moment before he took his gaze back.
Time flew by, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.
It has been five years and a few months since Cheney officially joined the headquarters of the Soul Academy.
During this period, Cheney had always stayed in the Academy.
Compared to the Central of the entire Soul Continent, the Soul Academy wasn’t very large.
But if you compare it to the other academies of the Soul Realm, the Soul Academy was incredibly vast.
So, even after five years, Cheney hadn’t even visited all corners of the Soul Academy.
Naturally, if he had chosen to roam the Soul Academy over these five years, he would have covered every corner by now.
However, for the majority of these five years, Cheney had been cultivating his heart technique and absorbing knowledge.
The number of books in the library of the Soul Academy was even more outrageous than that of the Guardian Sea in the Wizard Realm.
Five years had passed, and the number of books Cheney had generally read in the Soul Academy had already reached a massive count.
But it was still just a drop in the ocean when compared to the entire collection of books in the Soul Academy.
Inside the library of the Soul Academy.
“Found it.”
Milton Cheney, who was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the library, opened the book in his hands, his eyes sparkling.
Cheney had read a great variety of books over the past five years.
Of course, this was a reading habit he had intentionally fostered.
He read a lot of miscellaneous books, so it didn’t seem strange when he read books describing rules.
If he only read books related to rules, it would be too obvious.
Cheney’s aim was the rule in the Soul Academy that had no master.
Although this was his first reincarnation into the Soul Realm, Cheney still didn’t want any unforeseen situations.
Steady progress, he still had plenty of time.
Thus, over these five years, Cheney wasn’t overly anxious.
Thus, even though five years had passed, his understanding of the rule in the Soul Academy that had no master was still zero.
Not because he didn’t want to understand.
But indeed, the Soul Academy had many more books regarding the rules than the Guardian Sea.
But most of them were overlapping with the collection of the Guardian Sea.
Even if they weren’t overlapping, they weren’t of much use to Cheney.
After all, what Cheney wanted to understand wasn’t simply the rules, but the rule inside the Soul Academy.
Cheney didn’t know whether information related to this rule in the Soul Academy would appear in the library.
Yes, he didn’t know.
But it would be better if there was. If there wasn’t, Cheney wouldn’t force it.
After all, he still had plenty of time.
Cheney couldn’t be certain about other things, but with his talent, attaining the cultivation of a level three Spiritualist and living for several thousand years would be a piece of cake.
He didn’t believe that he couldn’t understand a rule with no master in several thousand years.
After all, his goal wasn’t very big.
He didn’t need to merge with the rule without a master in this world’s Soul Academy.
And whether the rule inside the Soul Academy could be merged or not was still a question for Cheney at this time.
All of these were just Cheney’s speculations.
Of course, using one reincarnation simulation to verify one of his speculations was, at least to Cheney, absolutely worth it.
But now he genuinely found a book related to the rule with no master in the Soul Academy.
This was indeed an unexpected pleasure.
Milton Cheney carefully studied the text in the book in his hands.
After a moment, Milton furrowed his brows slightly, but his hand flipping the pages of the book didn’t stop, turning the pages one by one.
“It seems that William did hide some information from me after all,” Milton muttered to himself while reading the text on the pages of the book.
It was true that Twin Rules existed, but it wasn’t the case that once one Rule was merged, the other could not be merged.
What was written in the book was not the same as what William told him.
If Milton had to choose who to believe, he would definitely believe what was written in the book.
However, William did get one thing right: Twin Rules were not just for one person to merge.
But after one of the Twin Rules was merged, the other Rule would enter a dormant state.
Only after awakening could it be smoothly merged again, and it was extremely difficult to awaken a Rule in a dormant state.
As for how difficult it was, it was not described in the book.
Milton wanted to continue flipping the pages, but found that there was no new content behind.
“Light and Darkness, the Light and Dark Rules?” Milton pondered as he closed the book in his hands.
He just found out the names of these twin rules in the Soul Academy.
Light Rules and Dark Rules.
The true Twin Rules.
The Light Rule within the Soul Academy would be merged by any Dean of the Soul Academy who came across it.
Rules could indeed be inherited.
But after the Light Rule was merged, the Dark Rule would fall into silence.
In other words, in present condition of the Soul Academy, the Dark Rule is dormant.
As to where this Unowned Rule fell dormant, how to awaken it, and how to merge with it, Milton was entirely clueless.
Currently, all he knew was that the Twin Rule owned by the Soul Academy was the Light and Dark Rule.
In fact, Light and Dark Rules weren’t the only Twin Rules out here.
There were also countless other Twin Rules with no upper limit.
For example, the strongest of them, the Life and Death Rules, the Life Rule and the Death Rule.
Milton didn’t know how exaggerated the Rules of Life and Death might be.
But at this time, he could not hope for such top-tier Rules.
The Rule that the dean of the Soul Academy was able to merge?
That meant that Milton could only set his sights on the Dark Rule now, because there at least existed hope for this Rule.
As for the Light Rule, he could only take a gradual look at it later.
After all, apart from knowing the names of these two Rules, he almost knew nothing else about them.
But Milton was already very satisfied.
At least his goal was clearer now.
He was no longer in the dark.
“Inheriting the Light Rule is almost impossible.”
“In reality, I am already a member of the Guardian Sea; there’s no opportunity.”
“Besides, even if there is an opportunity, becoming the Dean of the Soul Academy is an impossibility.”
Various thoughts rose in Milton’s mind as he pondered intensely.
Although there is no possibility for him in reality to merge with the Light Rule, is there was any chance for him to get the Dark Rule?
It seemed that the hope was still not big, at least not for now.
As for what would happen in the future, who could tell.
After thinking for a moment, Milton finally gave up the idea of inheriting the Light Rule.
Even in the Reincarnation Simulation, even this time he had a talent of eight and a half grids, but the hope was still slim.
Not to mention other things, just the seat for the inheritor of the Dean of the Guardian Sea, it was impossible for it to be his turn.
Therefore, he could only focus on the Dark Rule now.
Although this was also very difficult, as long as there was some hope, unlike the Light Rule, which was absolutely an extravagant hope.
There was still time. Milton was not in a hurry.
Putting the book back on the shelf, Milton left the library.
