Chapter 525

Green Forest Academy.

It is built in Green Forest City, the building with the widest area and the most magnificent.

When Fang Xing enters, he can still see the clean white square, and the garden with fountains...

'A bit strange... this world is clearly similar to ancient East, but the biggest force is "Heart Sanctuary"...'

'Even the Academy is built by the "Heart Sanctuary". It worships the only god - Heart Lord! It establishes sanctuaries in various regions to enlighten children's Heart Phases, and has a series of rulers such as priests, clerics, bishops, archbishops, cardinals, and popes...'

'It's just that the Sanctuary's rule is very weak, often adopting the "tax farmer" system, which is more similar to the Western hierarchical enfeoffment system, letting out most of the local power...'

'For example, in the countryside, there are many squires, like the Fang family, occupying Sanshan Township and controlling the "Town Brave Team", as long as they complete a certain tax every year, they are local tyrants...'

'Even Green Forest City and the vast territory nearby belong to the family of that Lord-level Agricultural Driver...'

In a classroom.

At a glance, at a glance`'

Fang Xing originally thought the direction of the Gate of All Heavens was a bit wrong, now it seems, it is just right. Therefore, he listens more attentively.

This is the optimal route formed according to the memories of more than ten years of this body...

Teacher Wen looks at Fang Xing again.

"Bronze quality... will likely be able to cultivate to 'General level' in the future... If there is an opportunity, perhaps can become a Lord."

This day.

'I was originally in the top three of the class, performance only needs to be excellent, but doesn't need to be too outstanding...'

"I am the Academy teacher - Wen Lun, you can call me Teacher Wen."

"Sit down, Fang Xing, how to judge the strength of Heart Beast cultivation?"

Fang Xing looks over and sees this girl has a pair of willow eyebrows, looking very gentle and quiet.

Fang Xing stands up behind him: "Fang Xing, Bronze quality 'Black Fire Wolf'..."

The Heart Phase awakening of this world is simply more harsh than the spiritual roots of the Immortal World, basically awakening what quality determines a person's upper limit.

Even, even if the cultivation reaches the Dharma Master realm, it might not be able to sense the existence of the true spirit.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with a scholarly air stands up: "Heart Beast summoning, except for the Life-Bound Heart Beast, other subdued Heart Beasts cannot be stored in the body, must be cultivated outside... Internal cultivation is using the power of the heart to open up a 'Heart Phase Space', only the Life-Bound Heart Beast can enter... and external cultivation requires Heart Beast space props, the most common and popular is the 'Heart Phase Holy Canon' of the Heart Sanctuary, different 'Heart Phase Holy Canons' not only have different internal spaces, but also bring different effects to Heart Beast growth, and come with some query functions..."

The more Fang Xing listens, the more solemn his expression becomes: 'The cultivation of Heart Power seems to be higher than will?'

Ning Jian stands up and answers.

And in his class, Fang Xing and the other two are undoubtedly the first echelon.

Teacher Wen looks no different from three years ago, his voice gentle: "Pei Ziyue, you tell us about the precautions for Heart Beast summoning..."

Only Fang Xing, with his will cultivated to a certain level, with the help of the attribute panel, has a faint insight.

"Even Pangu Wu, this 15th-realm Eternal-level existence, the 'Pan Wu Grand Canon' passed down only involves will cultivation, and no secret of true spirit cultivation... Could it be that the Heart Lord is a suspected 16th-realm transcendent? At least it is related to a transcendent, and obtained part of the transcendent's legacy?"

"Those beast groups occasionally produce Heart Beasts, because wild beasts also have hearts, have Heart Phases... even, those mountains, rivers... this world, all have 'hearts', it's just that one thought of theirs might take hundreds or thousands of years... Therefore, the concept of 'Heart Beast' is not accurate enough, the world is full of wonders, maybe a flame, a breeze, even invisible will, destiny... all have the possibility of 'condensing', becoming a Heart Beast!"

'And the cultivation of Heart Power is even more interesting, needing to go through stages like meditation, gathering essence...'

'These all need accumulation, even pulling investment...'

Teacher Wen nods: "Before entering the cultivation of Heart Power, let's understand the source of Heart Beasts... They come from the spiritual world of the heart, so they might be a wild beast, or a breeze, a bowl, or a knife, a sword, a shadow..."

"No matter what Heart Beast quality, feeding, or special environment, all can cause different effects, for example, Bronze quality cultivation for one year, might have two years of cultivation..."

No matter what teacher, they are a bit biased towards students with good grades.

The only big event is probably the letter from home, saying that the Heart Beast wolf was very cunning, later it was subdued by a passing Driver and became the other party's pet.

"Very good, everyone has introduced themselves, now let's start class."

In the Academy.

'Sure enough, subduing other Heart Beasts in the future, and even feeding Heart Beasts, every day's feeding is a huge expense...'

For Fang Xing, he has kept a low profile, naturally nothing comes to him.

"Sure enough... this world is very useful to me."

When Fang Xing and others salute, Teacher Wen smiles: "Next, everyone introduce yourselves, get to know each other, and then, I will start teaching you the cultivation of 'Heart Power'..."

"Students, after three years of cultivation, the excellent ones among you have reached a certain stage of Heart Power, and can perform true Heart Phase condensation, summoning the Life-Bound Heart Beast..." Fang Xing silently makes his future cultivation plan.

'So that's how it is... wild beasts' hearts are not as good as humans, but when the number is large, various hearts gather, and there is a possibility of "Heart Beast" birth...'

'According to Teacher Wen, Black Iron level Heart Phase needs three to five years of cultivation to summon "Life-Bound Heart Beast"... Bronze quality is much better, probably two to three years... and, at the last step, if some special items are added, it might even lead to Heart Beast quality promotion... Of course, this is very difficult, very difficult, not possible without great opportunity, ordinary students don't need to count on it... but listening to his tone, it seems the Academy has it, but the requirements are very harsh...'

"That Heart Lord, don't know who it is... the Heart Power passed down, seems to involve true spirit cultivation? Heart Phase... the Heart Phase of mortals, can reach this level?"

Soul three layers, will is only the middle layer, the deepest true spirit cultivation is the field that even peak civilizations can hardly reach!

'Rarely come once, don't need to do anything too outstanding, just do what I should do...'

Fang Xing stands up, and at this time he has grown into a sixteen-year-old boy, answering: "Heart Beast cultivation, generally judged by cultivation years, generally speaking, the cultivation of Soldier level Heart Beasts is between one and ten years... even the newly summoned Life-Bound Heart Beast has at least one year of cultivation, and, one to five years is Soldier level lower rank, six to ten years is Soldier level upper rank, ten to fifty years is General level lower rank, fifty to one hundred years is General level upper rank... This 'one year of cultivation' is based on the cultivation of Black Iron quality Heart Beasts in an ordinary natural environment for one year of Heart Power accumulation..."

Fang Xing counts, finding a class of twenty-five people, twenty-two are Black Iron level Heart Phase, without great opportunity in the future, they are destined to be Soldier level Drivers for a lifetime.

As soon as the words fall, a little fat boy stands up: "I... I am called Feng Sanjiao, Heart Phase is Black Iron quality 'Mountain Pig'..."

However, Sanshan Township finally got rid of the trouble, ordinary people don't need to be terrified anymore.

Black Iron quality, upper limit cultivation ten years of Soldier level.

After Feng Sanjiao introduces himself, another little girl with dark skin and short stature stands up.

Accompanied by Teacher Wen's explanation, Fang Xing understands this world more deeply.

In the blink of an eye, three years of time flew by.

"I am called Ning Jian, Heart Phase is Bronze quality 'Longquan Sword'..."

Time is like water, years are like shuttles.

Answering these, Fang Xing also sighs in his heart.

At this time, a girl stands up and speaks.

A thin and tall boy stands up.

Fang Xing and twenty-something peers sit on cushions, looking respectfully at one person in front.

"This world, not normal!"

"Yes."

Teacher Wen smiles in his heart: "Very good, next one."

'The history of this world is strange... can find a few history books to read another day.'

"Hmm, Ning Jian... how many types of Heart Beasts are there?"

'At the critical moment, can take out the marriage contract of this body, bind a powerful wife family, and obtain the support of the wife family?'

"I am called Pei Ziyue, Heart Phase is Bronze quality 'Thunder Cloud'!"

"I am Lin Linglin, Heart Phase is Black Iron quality 'Iron Tree'..."

The next day.

'Also need to learn to identify Heart Beasts, wilderness survival skills, and various advanced skills, and even secret legacies...'

"According to the "Heart Report" of the Heart Sanctuary last month, the number of Heart Beast types we have discovered is around 3.5 million, and this number is still growing..."

That person is forty-something, wearing a cyan Confucian shirt, looking like he has a scholarly temperament.

'Moreover, after powerful Drivers die, their "Heart Beasts" might not dissipate, but run to the wild, becoming wild Heart Beasts... so they are even more strange.'

He successfully handles the check-in, then chooses a single dormitory.

Teacher Wen looks at Ning Jian again.

"Need to pay attention, Black Iron quality Heart Beasts often cannot break through the ten-year cultivation bottleneck, after reaching this limit, no matter how you exercise, it is difficult to break through, unless you find some opportunities, such as swallowing heaven and earth treasures, or the accumulation is really deep, and because of some coincidences, break through in a bloody battle..."

Bronze quality, upper limit hundred-year cultivation General level, Lord quality, upper limit thousand-year Lord level.

This is still what ordinary people can come into contact with.

Reaching the ten-thousand-year King level of King quality, and the hundred-thousand-year Emperor level, it is rare and incomparable.

As for more than a hundred thousand years of cultivation? That is indeed "legend" in every sense...
