Chapter 58: One Must Be Grateful

Qin Qiang’s face was still full of smiles as she said,

"The ten academies previously found hundreds of yuan stones in the Kunlun Mountains, and I plan to take out a few for the students who enter the Martial Pulse Mountain Field this time.

As long as the three of you enter the Martial Pulse Mountain Field, I will personally take you as disciples and give each of you at least one yuan stone. Also, my Yanxin Art will be taught to you."

Not only were Li Wanran and Luo Huaner’s hearts pounding, but even Fang Chong was somewhat shocked.

They had only heard of yuan stones; the news had reported it before.

The top ten Blue Star Academies joined forces with the Martial Arts Alliance and the Gene Alliance to find hundreds of stones containing heaven and earth yuan Qi in the Kunlun Mountains; these stones were also called yuan stones.

It was rumored that Dean Nong Yizhen of the Zhenyu Academy relied on this kind of yuan stone to break through to the Innate realm. This kind of yuan stone was the most suitable thing for martial arts and gene cultivation.

Luo Huaner clenched her fists even tighter. This thing, let alone a student like them, even a teacher in the top ten Blue Star Academies might not be able to obtain.

After she stepped into the Level 1 Gene Cultivator realm, every time she practiced the Thousand-Lace Gene Art, she always felt that her strength was not up to her will.

No, it shouldn't be said that it was not up to her will, but that the yuan Qi absorbed during cultivation always felt insufficient.

If there was a yuan stone to help, her chance of stepping into a Level 2 Gene Cultivator would greatly increase.

If the yuan Qi contained in this yuan stone was sufficient, then she would almost certainly be able to step into a Level 2 Gene Cultivator.

Li Wanran’s heart was truly shaken; she knew the benefits of yuan stones very well.

Compared to Luo Huaner and Fang Chong, she was equally concerned about the Yanxing Art.

It was said that the Yanxing Art came from Mount Emei, and before, it was just an item with historical traces in the Mount Emei Museum.

After the heaven and earth environment mutated, this item suddenly became useful.

Because the Yanxing Art could be practiced, and it was an extremely powerful light-body technique.

As long as one could gather internal Qi, one could practice the Yanxing Art.

She was now close to a Level 1 Gene Cultivator, and her internal Qi was increasing every day.

If she could obtain the Yanxing Art, her strength would be like a tiger with wings, rising to another major level.

She had seen Dean Nong Yizhen of the Zhenyu Academy gliding through the air on TV; that was more than just handsome.

Thinking that she could easily glide through the air, Li Wanran could no longer remain calm in her heart, and her heartbeat quickened quite a bit.

As if to prove what Li Wanran was thinking, Qin Qiang said with a smile again, "Dean Nong Yizhen once took the initiative to come to me and wanted to read the Yanxing Art."

Nong Yizhen had such powerful air-gliding ability, yet he still went to ask to read the Yanxing Art?

Li Wanran took a deep breath and bowed to Qin Qiang. "Dean Qin, I am willing to join the Martial Pulse Mountain Field."

She was very grateful for Teacher Ding Huan’s training, but in her heart, Teacher Ding Huan was just like the many teachers who had taught her; he was just her teaching mentor.

Since he was a teaching mentor, it didn't reach the level where she had to ruin her future to do certain things. Besides, in Li Wanran’s mind, her going to the Martial Pulse Mountain Field and respecting Teacher Ding Huan didn't conflict at all.

From the deepest part of her heart, Li Wanran was also convincing herself that what Teacher Ding Huan taught her was the most valuable.

However, the time Teacher Ding Huan taught her was the shortest among all her mentors, even as short as only three days.

She respected Teacher Ding Huan, but she couldn't put Teacher Ding Huan’s status above her other mentors just because what Teacher Ding Huan taught her was more valuable.

In terms of emotion, she thought Teacher Ding Huan and her other mentors were all the same in her heart.

Would she refuse her future because of the discord between other mentors and Dean Qin Qiang?

The answer was obviously no.

Fang Chong saw that Li Wanran had actually agreed to join the Martial Pulse Mountain Field and was so angry he almost exploded with profanity.

He had been cultivating with Li Wanran and Luo Huaner for a few months, and he really didn't know that Li Wanran could forget Teacher Ding Huan’s hard work for a little bit of petty gain.

If he knew what Li Wanran was thinking, he would curse even more: *How can this be the same?*

One was teaching you, and teaching ordinary students was the same; it was also the work content of the mentors, and they relied on this to eat.

One was painstakingly tailoring a gene agent to improve your quality, and it wasn't work content that Teacher Ding had to do; Teacher Ding wouldn't have any problems if he didn't do it. How could this be the same?

Making excuses wasn't done like this either.

"Student Wanran, you have made a very correct choice. I believe you will definitely be proud of your choice in the future,"

Qin Qiang said with satisfaction.

After speaking, she turned to Fang Chong and Luo Huaner. "What about you two?"

"Haha, the students haven't gone to the academy to inquire yet, and Dean Qin has personally come here to recruit students. It’s really worth learning from," an abrupt voice came, interrupting Qin Qiang’s inquiry.

"So it’s Vice Dean Zeng." Although Qin Qiang greeted him politely, there was no longer the affinity in her tone when she spoke to the three of them earlier.

Following the voice, a long-haired man walked over.

"Greetings, Vice Dean Zeng." This time Fang Chong took the lead to greet him.

Qin Qiang called the other party Vice Dean Zeng, clearly the other party was also from one of the top ten Blue Star Academies. So Fang Chong and the others also hurriedly called him Vice Dean.

Greeting him in their mouths, Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Luo Huaner thought to themselves that these deans were really unpredictable.

Because they had seen this Vice Dean Zeng before; he was the long-haired man who had previously advised them not to join the Martial Pulse Mountain Field.

"You call me Vice Dean Zeng, I guess you don't know me yet. Let me introduce myself; I am from the Guardians, and I am the Vice Dean of the Guardians, Zeng Yi," Zeng Yi said with a smile.

The three students all sighed in their hearts; the Guardians were the fourth-ranked existence among the top ten Blue Star Academies.

If it were before, how could the Vice Dean of the Guardians come here to talk nonsense with them? Now the other party not only came to talk nonsense, but this was also the second time.

"I only have one purpose for coming here: to invite you to join our Guardians and fight for the future of humanity.

Are you Luo Huaner? Not bad, ranked first in this assessment. If you go to the Guardians, I can apply to Dean Li to give you the opportunity to practice the Xinyi Hunyuan Art."

Zeng Yi was clearly only here for Luo Huaner.

"Thank you, Dean Zeng, I am willing to join the Guardians," Luo Huaner hurriedly replied.

Although the conditions Qin Qiang gave were far more generous than Zeng Yi’s, Qin Qiang was an existence who plotted against Teacher Ding Huan behind his back, and Luo Huaner didn't want to study under such a woman.

He was certain that no one could build such a deep foundation for him like Teacher Ding Huan.

Perhaps without the yuan Qi stone, his cultivation speed would be much slower, but so what? Qin Qiang only gave him one yuan Qi stone; what if this yuan Qi stone was used up?

Being much slower didn't mean he couldn't progress; sooner or later he would step into the ranks of Level 2 Gene Cultivators.

Seeing that Luo Huaner had actually chosen the Guardians under the conditions she had promised so generously, Qin Qiang’s face looked a bit ugly.

Zeng Yi laughed and turned to Fang Chong. "Are you Student Fang Chong? What about you? Are you willing to join our Guardians?"

Fang Chong said, "Thank you for the kindness of Dean Zeng, but I plan to join the Dahan Yi Academy."

This was the advice Ding Huan gave him; if Luo Huaner and Li Wanran were willing to join the Dahan Yi Academy with him, that would be even better.

Now it seemed that Li Wanran had joined the Martial Pulse Mountain Field, and Luo Huaner had joined the Guardians.

He could understand Luo Huaner joining the Guardians, but he couldn't understand Li Wanran joining the Martial Pulse Mountain Field, and he despised this woman from the bottom of his heart.

Usually, everyone cultivated together, and Li Wanran’s impression on him was still very good; she was gentle and humble as her name suggested, and she put him and Luo Huaner first in everything.

Sure enough, people shouldn't just look at the surface.

"Fang Chong, are you really joining the Dahan Yi Academy?" Li Wanran looked at Fang Chong in shock.

She had thought Fang Chong was joking before; she didn't expect Fang Chong to really plan to join the Dahan Yi Academy.

Luo Huaner also looked unbelievable; Fang Chong had indeed said he wanted to join the Dahan Yi Academy and asked if they would go to the Dahan Yi Academy together.

Whether it was Li Wanran or Luo Huaner, they just listened and didn't take it seriously.

Now that Fang Chong said it in front of Qin Qiang and Zeng Yi, it was naturally serious.

The Dahan Yi Academy was one of the top ten Blue Star Academies, it was true. If it were before, if they could enter the Dahan Yi Academy, they would laugh in their dreams.

But the Dahan Yi Academy was ranked at the bottom of the top ten Blue Star Academies, and this bottom ranking was different from the Martial Pulse Mountain Field.

Don't look at the Martial Pulse Mountain Field being ranked eighth, but the Martial Pulse Mountain Field could fuse with the world’s most top-tier and advanced gene agents.

Because the Martial Pulse Mountain Field had a close relationship with the Gene Alliance.

Besides that, the Martial Pulse Mountain Field’s Yanxing Art was also world-famous.

Even so, Qin Qiang pulled Li Wanran into the Martial Pulse Mountain Field and also took out a yuan stone and promised to teach the Yanxing Art.

Fang Chong actively entering the Dahan Yi Academy, but there was nothing.

Fang Chong didn't look at Li Wanran, but patted Luo Huaner on the shoulder. "Luo Huaner, no matter what happens in the future, you must remember what Teacher Geng told us.

People, this life passes very quickly; a real man has things he does and things he doesn't do."

After saying this, Fang Chong turned and left.

Luo Huaner immediately said, "Fang Chong, don't worry, I, Luo Huaner, know what I’m doing."

He understood what Fang Chong meant, which was what Teacher Geng told the three of them: *One must be grateful.*

*No matter what level you reach, you must remember who cultivated you. If a person is not grateful, they will always be looked down upon.*

Li Wanran also understood Fang Chong’s meaning, and she felt somewhat aggrieved.

She wasn't ungrateful; she was very grateful to Teacher Ding Huan in her heart. What did this have to do with her joining the Martial Pulse Mountain Field?
