Chapter 39: The Necessity of Improving Strength

Just as Lin Lin Hongwu

saw that application,

in the cultivation room of the Xuanfu Card Master Association,

Li Dong

was looking at Su Yu in front of him with a shocked gaze,

almost doubting if something was wrong with his ears!

"Student Su Yu, what did you just say?"

Li Dong’s eyes were bewildered.

And Su Yu,

with a calm tone,

looked at the shocked Li Dong and said with a smile: "Senior Li Dong, I said I have already submitted an application to the president for a second soul magic card awakening!"

"Phew..."

Hearing Su Yu’s words,

Li Dong

finally couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He had come to find Su Yu

just to inform him that he didn't need to return to Jiangcheng,

and that the Xuanfu Association

would prepare the top-tier cultivation rooms for him and other Candle Dragon geniuses like Situ Xue!

Prepare the top-tier cultivation room!

He also wanted to ask if Su Yu needed any source energy materials

so he could organize them and send them to him,

and arrange for association members to prepare them.

He never expected

that Su Yu would throw such explosive news at him!

Unlike the first magic card awakening that all magic card students could undergo after turning sixteen,

It is different from the initial Magic Card awakening that can be performed.

the awakening of a second soul magic card

could not be achieved simply by constructing a soul magic card.

Aside from a large amount of energy cards for source energy supply,

the second and third soul magic cards

both required

the Epic-tier ritual card [Source Energy Awakening]!

The ritual card used for the second awakening was only Platinum-tier,

while the third awakening

required a Heaven-tier [Source Energy Awakening] to initiate.

"Not to mention the cost of a [Source Energy Awakening] card,"

Li Dong looked at Su Yu,

his eyes complex: "You only have Silver-tier cultivation; how could you possibly withstand the effects of a Platinum-tier ritual card?"

According to the regulations of the Nine Provinces Card Master Association,

all Card Masters,

upon reaching the Platinum-tier,

could receive one free Platinum-tier [Source Energy Awakening] ritual card!

But not all Platinum-tier Card Masters could awaken successfully!

Some Card Masters with insufficient talent or unstable foundations

would even suffer severe injuries

because they couldn't withstand the effects of the ritual card!

At best, it would take months to recover from the injuries;

at worst,

it could directly damage the foundation of their first soul magic card!

Looking at the worried Li Dong,

Su Yu smiled slightly.

Seeing Su Yu’s confident appearance,

Li Dong couldn't help but shake his head.

In his view,

Su Yu had been blinded by his gains in the secret realm!

But in reality... ===== CHAPTER 103 =====

Su Yu had made the decision to awaken a second soul magic card after careful consideration!

Su Yu, however, had made this decision after careful deliberation!

It wasn't just because of

the prompt from the Eye of Omniscience!

More importantly,

"With my current source energy cultivation, I do indeed need to improve faster!"

Ranked nineteenth on the Candle Dragon List,

according to the rules,

after entering the genius camp,

he would only get one month of cultivation access!

Only by ranking in the top ten of the Candle Dragon List

could one obtain three consecutive months of cultivation access to the Void God Tower!

And besides that,

"Dual soul magic cards"

"mean the Card Master’s cultivation efficiency will be double that of a single soul magic card Card Master!"

For Su Yu, who hadn't been cultivating for long,

this increase in cultivation efficiency

was also incredibly precious!

"Senior Li, after returning to Xuanfu, you must have heard that news, right?"

Looking at Su Yu’s serious gaze,

Li Dong was also startled.

Immediately, he remembered something, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Su Yu

gained a bit more understanding!

"You have set your target on... the Semi-Saint Academy?!"

Su Yu nodded earnestly.

After returning to Xuanfu,

Su Yu had received a letter from Sun Yu.

Besides brief pleasantries,

Professor Sun had also told Su Yu an important piece of news!

"Apart from our Nine Provinces,"

"all human nations have established genius training programs similar to [Candle Dragon]."

"All of them have set their targets on the Four Great Prestigious Schools!"

"And against this background, the Four Great Prestigious Schools have also launched a brand new academy!"

"The Semi-Saint Academy!"

The Four Great Prestigious Schools

held a transcendent status!

They were even on par with the human nations!

This was because

the principals of the Four Great Prestigious Schools

were all Semi-Saints!

Truly the top existences among humanity!

The four Semi-Saints,

although like the Nine Provinces’ First Semi-Saint, Shen Shen Tianyu,

were in seclusion year-round,

their presence ensured

the influence of the Four Great Prestigious Schools;

even alien races

dared not underestimate them!

And the Semi-Saint Academy,

as the name suggests...

"After next year’s global college entrance exam, the Four Great Prestigious Schools will conduct a third round of selection for admitted students after the [Holy Land Assessment]!"

"The chief examiners for the selection will be the principals of the Four Great Prestigious Schools themselves!"

"Students who pass the third round of selection will directly enter the four Semi-Saint Academies established by the Four Great Prestigious Schools!"

"Taught personally by Semi-Saints!"

Taught by Semi-Saints!

The significance was self-evident.

If the Four Great Prestigious Schools

were born to cultivate human Heaven-tier masters,

then

the future Four Great Semi-Saint Academies

were for the purpose of

"cultivating our human Semi-Saints!"

"And even... Saint-tier!"

Thinking of this,

Li Dong’s

gaze toward Su Yu

softened significantly!

That’s right.

After the training in the Yuanling Secret Realm,

Su Yu’s strength had made great progress!

Leaping from Silver One-Star to Silver Nine-Star!

This point

was incredibly stunning even to Li Dong!

But with Silver Nine-Star cultivation,

even with one year of training in the Candle Dragon Genius Camp,

it would likely only raise Su Yu to Gold Nine-Star at most!

But...

"The admission threshold for the Four Great Prestigious Schools this year has already been raised to Gold Nine-Star."

"Want to enter the Semi-Saint Academy?"

"With Platinum One-Star or Two-Star cultivation, the chances are likely slim!"

In Su Yu’s eyes,

a bright light called fighting spirit emerged!

However,

Li Dong sighed heavily!

He looked at Su Yu and said seriously: "Student Su Yu."

"I can understand your feelings!"

"But the Platinum-tier ritual card [Source Energy Awakening] is too much of a burden for you right now!"

"You can't handle it!"

"Forcing growth will not help your future; instead, it will only lead you astray!"

Li Dong said. ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
