Chapter 188: First Tier (A bit lackluster, no need to subscribe)

The next day, Ancient Law Academy.

Lin Chao entered the classroom, and immediately, many gazes fell upon him.

Among these gazes were confusion, complexity, and envy.

Lin Chao found a spot and sat down casually.

In this classroom, everyone was a first-year student of the Ancient Law Academy.

Dark Light Academy has twelve academies and over ten thousand new students, yet the Ancient Law Academy only has one hundred students per grade.

This shows the decline of the Ancient Law Academy.

The new students inside do not have high talent either; they came to the Ancient Law Academy to try their luck, obtain better resources, and then switch academies later.

In any case, there is no difference between the cultivation of the Ancient Method and the New Method for the first two tiers.

"Brother, you are Feng Yan, right? Why did you come to the Ancient Law Academy? The Ancient Law Academy doesn't have any resources for you.

Rumors outside say that you have taken a fancy to the Dean of the Ancient Law Academy?"

Behind him, a male student secretly glanced at Feng Yan, a lewd smile appearing on his face.

"Brother, are you perhaps one of us, someone who likes married women?"

Lin Chao was speechless; he did not expect that after only one day, all sorts of rumors would have spread.

"Aren't you afraid that I will repeat what you said to the Dean?" Lin Chao replied casually.

The male student was immediately terrified: "Brother, I was wrong."

Lin Chao did not speak again; he circulated the cultivation technique within his body. Since the teacher had not yet arrived, he would first cultivate the Jiuzhou technique to improve his strength.

Ten minutes later, an old man walked in. He introduced himself slowly, and the first class officially began.

"The Ancient Method is the method of the Great Dao, leading directly to the path of the gods." The teacher, who practiced the New Method, explained the Ancient Method and spoke of its brilliance.

The teachers of the Ancient Law Academy practice the New Method and teach the Ancient Method; it sounds exceptionally ironic.

A class ended quickly; the students were daydreaming, and the teacher was also daydreaming.

"This is an Ancient Method technique called the Wood God Path. In ancient times, it was one of the top ten cultivation techniques, worth a thousand gold, and only members of the Royal Family could practice it. Now, it is your gain."

As the teacher spoke, he distributed a pile of crystal balls, and Lin Chao also received one.

"Cultivate well and strive to break through to a First-Order Transcendent within a year."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned and left.

The entire Ancient Law Academy appeared listless and gloomy.

All the students received the technique, but there was not much joy on their faces.

"The Wood God Path can be converted to the Wan Chun Technique later; it's not bad."

"I heard that the recovery ability of the Wood God Path is very strong, I wonder..."

Lin Chao listened to the whispers of the crowd and returned to his bedroom.

Because he possesses Super Grade talent, Lin Chao's bedroom is relatively large and includes a cultivation room.

After preparing food, Lin Chao began to cultivate the Wood God Path, entering seclusion.

At the same time, in the Ancient Law Academy, the old man was lazily basking in the Sun, fishing.

"Dean, why do you think that Feng Yan came to our Ancient Law Academy?" The old man is the Vice Dean of the Ancient Law Academy, a Sixth Tier powerhouse.

However, he practices the New Method.

"A genius, perhaps thinking he is different." The Dean of the Ancient Law Academy, Gong Ting, is a beautiful young woman, looking to be in her thirties, naturally charming, plump and mature, with skin so full and fair that it seems it would drip water if pinched.

Feng Yan entering the Ancient Law Academy meant nothing to her.

Over so many years, she has already seen too many people like this.

Unfortunately, every genius eventually chooses to switch to the New Method at the Second Tier.

The Ancient Method has long had no future.

"It's a pity, the Ancient Method really should be eliminated. Only that old stubborn Lao Wang is still insisting on the Ancient Method." The Vice Dean sighed.

Lao Wang is also a Vice Dean of the Ancient Law Academy, and he is very special.

After all, in a typical department, the Vice Dean is at least Sixth Tier.

Yet Lao Wang is only a Fourth Tier Transcendent.

This is because he practices the Ancient Method.

Mentioning Lao Wang, a complex emotion flashed in Gong Ting's eyes: "If Wang Ge had chosen the New Method, everything might have been different."

Gong Ting still remembers entering the Academy with Wang Qiankun back then.

At that time, Wang Qiankun was high-spirited, suppressing the younger generation, with peerless talent.

Unfortunately, he chose the Ancient Method.

At that time, the person Gong Ting admired most was Wang Qiankun.

Unfortunately, Wang Qiankun, who chose the Ancient Method, could only leave in gloom in the end.

Among their peers, some, like Gong Ting, became Seventh Tier powerhouses, while others stopped at the Sixth Tier.

A person with such outstanding talent as Wang Qiankun, if he had practiced the New Method, would have been at least a Seventh Tier mid-grade.

Unfortunately, he only managed to reach the Fourth Tier, which is sigh-inducing.

"This Feng Yan's talent is not as good as Lao Wang's; he certainly won't end up like Lao Wang."

"Sigh, back then, Wang Ge practiced the Wood God Path and stepped into the First Tier in only fifteen days; how high-spirited he was." Gong Ting's gaze was deep, as if she had returned to several hundred years ago, seeing that tall and confident figure.

Now, he can only be lonely and dejected.

"Stepping into the First Tier in fifteen days, that kind of talent is something only that person and Lao Wang could achieve." The old man's gaze carried a hint of envy.

That person refers to the Dean of the Dark Light Academy, who is also the number one powerhouse of the Dark Light Academy.

Super Grade talent also has its levels.

For an Ordinary Super Grade talent, it might take four or five months to step into the First Tier.

Those who are a bit more capable can step into the First Tier in two or three months.

Top-tier Super Grade talents can step into the First Tier within one month.

Therefore, students with Super Grade talent who enter Dark Light Academy all work hard at cultivation, hoping to break through to the First Tier quickly.

The shorter the time spent on the breakthrough, the more resources one will receive.

Generally speaking, if it takes less than a month, one can receive top-tier treatment at Dark Light Academy.

"How many days do you think that Feng Yan will take to break through to the First Tier?"

"Two months, I suppose; I find it troublesome," Gong Ting said casually.

If Feng Yan broke through to a First-Order Transcendent within two months, many people would certainly come to find her to persuade Feng Yan to transfer departments, and she found that troublesome.

"Haha," the old man laughed.

……

Twelve days later.

In the bedroom, Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

"Why is it that after breaking through to the First Tier, I cannot make any progress when cultivating again?"

Lin Chao had already broken through to the First Tier seven or eight days ago.

Over these past few days, he had been rotating between Immortal Cultivation, the Feng Family Technique, and the Wood God Path.

However, in these few days, the cultivation of the Wood God Path had almost no progress, and it had also wasted quite a bit of Lin Chao's time.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, Lin Chao thought of something, took his phone, and logged into the school forum.

The school forum was divided into various departments, and many students often posted on it.

Of course, the content on the forum was mostly about cultivation.

Lin Chao clicked into the forum, where there were various posts.

"Essential elements for the First Tier of the Evil-Warding Technique."

"Brothers, what's going on if my stool tastes bitter?"

"How can I find a boyfriend with Super Grade talent?"

Lin Chao glanced at them, expressionless.

He clicked into the Ancient Law Academy forum.

Looking at the posts inside, Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

"The teachers at the Ancient Law Academy are truly unreliable..."

Truly unreliable.

It was from these posts that he learned that according to the Ancient Method, after officially breaking through to the First Tier of the Supernatural, subsequent cultivation requires combining materials that are compatible with the technique.

According to what was said above, the Ancient Method is not suitable for this world; one reason is the great change in heaven and earth, and the other reason is that these materials have decreased.

And these things, the teachers at the Ancient Law Academy had never mentioned.

"Go and collect the materials." Lin Chao thought for a moment and walked out of his room.

Soon, Lin Chao's figure appeared in the material room.

The material room of the Ancient Law Academy was located in a large courtyard, not far away, and there were few people inside.

Because there were truly too few people in the Ancient Law Academy, not many people broke through to the First Tier and came to collect materials every day.

Lin Chao entered it and saw the desolate material room.

Inside, there was only one person who looked like a student yawning.

"Hey, brother, did you also break through to the First Tier and come to collect materials?"

The one speaking was Wu Yonghua, an old student of the Ancient Law Academy who had been a Beginner for a year.

"Yes," Lin Chao nodded.

"Are you a senior? There's no one like you in my year," Wu Yonghua revealed a puzzled expression.

The new semester had just begun; those who had broken through to the First Tier of the Supernatural now were either from his year or were seniors.

Lin Chao smiled and didn't speak, continuing to walk toward the material room.

"Brother, you look quite young; if you hadn't said anything, I would have thought you were a freshman," Wu Yonghua was very familiar.

It was just that he had broken through not long ago, so his mood was quite joyful.

"I am a freshman."

"Don't think that just because you look young you can pretend to be a freshman. Freshmen have only been at school for a dozen days; how could they possibly break through to the First Tier of the Supernatural?

Even that freshman with Super Grade talent who recently joined the Ancient Law Academy—what's his name—would need at least a month or two to step into the First Tier."

"……"

The two soon arrived at the material room.

In the material room, there was only a middle-aged woman on guard.

Lin Chao saw at a glance that this woman had the strength of the Second Tier.

This kind of strength could make one an Overlord in Ge'en City.

At Dark Light Academy, she could only be a gatekeeper.

"Lan, I've broken through; I'm here to collect materials," Wu Yonghua was very excited; after all, it had taken him a year to break through to the First Tier of the Supernatural.

This speed was already considered quite fast in the Ancient Law Academy.

As he spoke, a green light appeared in his hand.

This was a means that could only be displayed after breaking through to the First Tier of the Supernatural.

"Mm." The middle-aged woman took a glance, accepted Wu Yonghua's identity card, and nodded; she then looked toward Lin Chao, "And yours?"

"Here." Lin Chao handed over his identity card, and a jade-green light appeared in his hand at the opportune moment.

"That's fine, go in." The middle-aged woman scanned it casually and prepared to let him pass.

"Brother, come quickly, let's go together," Wu Yonghua said from the front, appearing very excited.

After all, this buddy he had just met had become a First-Order Transcendent a year later than him, which made him feel quite pleased inside.

Just then, however, the middle-aged woman's hand trembled: "Wait a moment."

She called out to stop Lin Chao.

Beside them, Wu Yonghua paused: "Lan, what's wrong?"

The middle-aged woman pointed at Lin Chao: "Your name is Feng Yan?"

"Mm."

"What's wrong with Feng Yan?" Wu Yonghua asked, puzzled.

"You are a freshman this year?" A look of shock appeared on the middle-aged woman's face, "You enrolled... thirteen days ago, right?"

"What, a freshman?" Wu Yonghua was also completely stunned, looking at Lin Chao with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Did that not mean Feng Yan had stepped into the First Tier of the Supernatural in just over ten days?

Ancient Law Academy.

Gong Ting sat lazily when a piece of paper flew in.

"Is there any news?"

Gong Ting opened the paper casually, her gaze falling upon the text above, and her eyes froze.

"What? Feng Yan has stepped into being a First-Order Transcendent?"

It has only been twelve days, right?

Looking at this news, Gong Ting rubbed her eyes.

She could not believe this was true.

One must know that the Senior Brother Wang Qiankun she admired most had also taken fifteen days to step into the First Tier of the Supernatural.

Is this Feng Yan a genius with talent even greater than Wang Qiankun and the Dean of the Dark Light Academy?
