Chapter 40: Sixth Grade Graduation

Half a year later, returning to school, Yang Xiong felt that the whole class had changed a lot, and everyone seemed to have grown considerably.

Now they are already twelve years old; basically everyone is a Great Soul Master, and they must start deciding their own futures.

According to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's rules, some of them will continue to stay at school, but they will be reassigned to new classes based on differing Soul Power and martial soul attributes.

After the sixth grade, it basically corresponds to the Intermediate Soul Master Academy and the Advanced Soul Master Academy; the school will add more practical combat training, thereby distinguishing Support Soul Masters, Battle Soul Masters, and even separating Strong Attack System, Agility Attack System, Control System, Defense System, and so on, since each martial soul practitioner's training and combat differ.

The other part goes to certain Advanced Soul Master Academies, such as Yang Xiong's older brother Yang Wei, who went to Zixing Academy, and of course there are some mid‑high‑level Soul Master Academies supported by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

The school conducts a Soul Power test on everyone; the entire Class One turned out to be all Great Soul Masters, and the highest Soul Power remains Ning Rongrong, whose Soul Power has reached an astonishing Level 28.

Yang Xiong has reached Level 26, making him the highest Soul Power Level after Ning Rongrong; the others top out at Level 25, like that student who once had innate Soul Power Level 7.

Yang Xiong roughly compared them and feared that few in Class One meet the Shrek Academy admission standards, especially with practical combat assessments, which shows what kind of geniuses Shrek Academy actually recruits.

Ning Rongrong, seeing Yang Xiong, became a bit interested: "Little Bear, it's been so long—where have you been playing? I heard you went to Heaven Dou City; there's not much fun there."

Yang Xiong was a little speechless: "Classmate Rong Rong, I returned from Heaven Dou City a long time ago; I've just been cultivating at home lately."

Ning Rongrong's face showed a hint of pride upon hearing that: "Your cultivation is pretty fast, already Level 20!"

Yang Xiong quickly replied: "Classmate Rong Rong truly has outstanding talent; she is indeed the most gifted genius of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in recent years."

Although Ning Rongrong is rather playful and likes to tease people, her cultivation talent is indeed good, and her performance is truly outstanding, worthy of being called the rare genius of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Ning Rongrong continued: "I see you busy cultivating every day; you should play with us more, otherwise you're just too boring."

Yang Xiong was at a loss: "My talent isn't that great, can't compare to you; I still think cultivation is more important."

Ning Rongrong pursed her lips: "I knew you'd say that. If it weren't for Dad letting me learn more from you, I wouldn't bother asking you to go out and play."

Yang Xiong said: "Ning Zong Zhu holds me in too high regard; I'm just an ordinary disciple of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Rongrong only said something uninteresting and said nothing more, but her darting eyes seemed to be plotting something.

Yang Xiong had no mind to deal with that; he didn't even have enough time for his own cultivation, let alone to play with the Little Demon Girl, and judging by the timing, the Little Demon Girl is about to run away from home, which would cause chaos in the sect.

When they returned home for dinner, the four of them were unusually gathered together, especially since Yang Wei had actually come back from school.

After dinner, Yang Xiong originally planned to return to his room to continue cultivating, but his father Yang Lin called him back.

"Xiao Xiong, don't be so eager to cultivate today; let's all sit together as a family."

Yang Xiong saw his father and the others looking rather serious, and he sat down as well.

Yang Lin seemed much more serious than before: "Xiao Xiong, you should now be ready to graduate; do you have any cultivation plans, or do you intend to continue cultivating within the sect?"

Yang Xiong didn't hesitate: "Father, I still plan to cultivate at home; the sect's resources and environment are quite good, even the simulated environments are plentiful, which should be enough for my current stage of cultivation."

Yang Lin shook his head: "Xiao Xiong, I know you work hard at cultivation, but you should also think about the future; normally, with your current Soul Power Level, you could already attend an Advanced Soul Master Academy."

Yang Xiong quickly replied: "Father, I don't want to leave the sect; I feel the Advanced Soul Master Academy wouldn't teach me much, not even as much as what I learn in the sect's Library Tower."

Yang Lin smiled: "Reading certainly lets one learn a lot, but what's on paper and what's heard in reality are completely different. Sending you to an Advanced Soul Master Academy serves, on one hand, to let you interact more with peers, so the cultivation path of a Soul Master won't be too lonely; on the other hand, it exposes you to more and broader geniuses, which might help you in the future."

"Moreover, if you can join the Soul Master Competition in the future, you'll be more valued within the sect later."

Yang Xiong, hearing this, could only be speechless; if he were to casually pull something out of himself, the sect would probably already be providing it for him, not to mention he also carries the ultimate treasure for martial soul evolution that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has long coveted.

However, whether it's the Yin Yang Meditation Method or the Immortal Herb, he doesn't intend to bring them out at this stage, after all these things are too deeply involved.

The Yin Yang Meditation Method is his own creation; it's not yet perfected, and he may consider passing it to his own family in the future, but only to relatives. Yang Xiong has no intention of spreading it widely, at most just within his own family.

As for the Immortal Herb hidden on Yang Xiong, he doesn't even want to tell his family now, especially since his older brother Yang Wei is still at Zixing Academy; even a slight leak would likely bring a lot of trouble.

Moreover, the sect isn't his own family; he's just an ordinary disciple, and his past contributions to the sect already exceed 99%.

At this moment, older brother Yang Wei also spoke: "Xiao Xiong, I think you should come with me to Zixing Academy; then we can look out for each other, and with your Soul Power you might even be able to join me in the Soul Master Competition."

Father Yang Lin, however, had a different opinion: "Xiao Xiong, with your current Soul Power, going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is absolutely fine; perhaps you could represent the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in battle, which would also raise the prestige of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and maybe earn you key cultivation support from the sect."

Mother Sun Yu was rather casual, saying that her son has had his own cultivation methods and thoughts since childhood, so they basically have nothing to worry about.

"Xiao Xiong, do whatever you want; staying in the sect is fine enough, at least it's safe."

Yang Xiong: …

Going to an Advanced Soul Master Academy is actually a common phenomenon in the Soul Master World, just like Yu Tianheng and his peers; could the Blue Lightning environment be worse than school? Yet the Soul Master World always emphasizes groups and sects, or rather, support.
