Chapter 60: Reserving a Future Sect Pride-of-Heaven Qualification

Yang Guan's words made Qi Yi widen her eyes.

"Doesn't that mean that as long as someone has Wu clan bloodline, they'll be valued more by the clan academy than us students who don't?" Qi Yi said in great astonishment.

She thought, isn't this bullying people a bit too much?

"Exactly. The Su Clan Academy has always had the nickname 'Genius Shredder.' What it really means is that inside the Su Clan Academy, no matter how strong your talent is, you'll find it very hard to compete against the Su Clan's own children.

And your halo of genius will be quickly shredded after you join the Su Clan Academy.

Because a good number of their children possess Wu clan bloodline. That's one of the most crucial points.

In terms of cultivation talent, they are a notch above ordinary geniuses.

The most obvious difference is that when they cultivate Spirit Refining Cultivation Techniques, their speed is generally far faster than that of ordinary geniuses with different surnames.

By the time you've painstakingly cultivated to the first layer of Spirit Refining, they may already be at the third or fourth layer.

Their Spirit Refining Cultivation Technique only needs to reach the fourth layer before they can prepare for Foundation Establishment.

So they're already preparing for Foundation Establishment while you're still dawdling at the first layer of Spirit Refining!!

Tell me, does the Su Clan Academy ultimately favor its own children, or you?

Let me tell you, Foundation Establishment cultivators are extremely common in the Su Clan.

On average, at least one per household.

That's why many ordinary geniuses from outside know that the Su Clan Academy spares no expense when it comes to investing in its students. Yet very few of them actually sign up for the Su Clan Academy.

Because outside, you may be a renowned genius, but once you enter the Su Clan Academy, the talent you rely on will quickly be rendered worthless in comparison.

You'll also go from being a lofty genius valued by your teachers to blending in with the crowd."

Hearing these words, Qi Yi was instantly struck with a chill of alarm.

She knew her own talent all too well.

She had three spiritual roots—although her cultivation talent wasn't particularly strong, she had the blessing of rebirth and the help of her past cultivation experience.

But the Su family's students were simply cheating with hacks.

They cheated with their bloodline!

"How can this be? For us students with different surnames, this kind of competition is just too unfair." Qi Yi said, feeling wronged. "And why do those Wu clans insist on marrying into the Su Clan? If they didn't marry into the Su Clan, the Su Clan wouldn't have so many descendants with Wu clan bloodline."

"Because the environment nowadays is different. There's no longer any Wu primal energy in the air for the Wu clans to cultivate with.

Now it's the era of spiritual Qi.

If the Wu clans want to survive better, they can only change themselves.

While cultivating improved new Wu arts on one hand, they rely on the surrounding cultivation sects and clan powers on the other to help them obtain more resources.

It's for these resources that they frequently marry into the outside world." Yang Guan explained.

Yang Guan's words left Qi Yi utterly shocked.

She had known before that many outstanding disciples within the sect had Wu clan bloodline.

Within the sect, they commanded the wind and clouds, repeatedly producing achievements that astonished the disciples around them.

But she hadn't expected that even the cultivation clans within Xiancheng around the sect had long begun marrying into the Wu clans, producing numerous offspring with Wu clan bloodline.

"With so many disciples possessing Wu clan bloodline, can the sect afford to train them all?" She remembered that in her past life, there weren't many outstanding disciples active within the sect surnamed Su.

"This is the other key point I wanted to make. During their time studying at the Su Clan Academy, students with Wu clan bloodline will certainly receive more attention and favorable treatment in terms of resources."

But in a sect where talent is as plentiful as cattle hair, they too can only blend into the crowd.

Only the next generation of pride-of-heaven disciples recognized by the sect will receive the sect's focused care and greater resource support.

What kind of person can become a pride-of-heaven disciple recognized even by the sect?

Probably only students whose Wu blood has already awakened." Yang Guan sighed heavily as he spoke up to this point.

"What's wrong? Why are you sighing?" Qi Yi looked at him in confusion.

"Didn't you hear Instructor Liu say that some disciples discovered their Wu clan bloodline conflicts with the Cultivation Technique they practice, causing their Body Tempering Cultivation Technique's progress to slow down?" Yang Guan countered.

"I heard it. Instructor Liu said so—is there any problem with that?" Qi Yi looked at him suspiciously.

"If Instructor Liu said so, there's certainly no problem. What I'm concerned about is the deeper meaning Instructor Liu revealed within that piece of news." Yang Guan said with a helpless face: "You didn't catch it, did you?"

"Instructor Liu said someone's Wu clan bloodline has already grown strong enough to hinder their Body Tempering progress.

Then what kind of Wu clan bloodline could produce such a powerful effect?

Only an awakened Wu clan bloodline could do that.

This means someone has already reserved a future sect pride-of-heaven qualification.

We've only just started cultivating, and yet I had to hear such terrible news. My heart aches." Yang Guan couldn't help but show a dejected expression.

What was he enduring such enormous pressure to come to the Su Clan Academy for?

Wasn't it precisely for the future sect pride-of-heaven qualification!

Yet today, he actually discovered someone had already claimed an entry ticket.

This is really bullying!!

"Still, what matters on the path of cultivation is the future. I can't give up this early. I still have to keep striving." Yang Guan's dejection lasted only a moment, then immediately transformed into excitement, looking like he was psyching himself up.

It left Qi Yi clicking her tongue in amazement.

She hadn't known someone could adjust their emotions so quickly.

She had to admit that the cultivators she met in her past life really were different from these little students in the clan academy.

The most typical example was that these students seemed to have no idea what 'lying flat' meant?!

Every single one of them was grinding hard!! So everyone was under tremendous pressure.

But who was that person whose Wu clan bloodline had awakened?

Could it be Su Jin?

Qi Yi's heart skipped a beat, a little afraid.

She truly did not want the day to come when her father, Su Zhang, would say to her: "I regret it; I should have gone back to being the father of Su Jin and Su Shen!"

"Do we, those without the Wu clan's bloodline, have no hope at all?" Qi Yi suddenly asked Yang Guan, a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"Not exactly." Yang Guan suddenly gave a mysterious smile. "By the way, there is a large-scale collective mission held every year at the clan academy. You must remember to participate."

Qi Yi pondered in her heart: A large-scale collective mission?

The Su clan academy even has a large-scale collective mission.

How did she not know this?

In her previous life, even her father, Su Zhang, had never mentioned that the clan academy held a large-scale collective mission.

Qi Yi suddenly rubbed her head.

She truly should not have taken the initiative to come here to study at the Su clan academy; this Su clan academy is far too mysterious.

Qi Yi looked at Yang Guan with a face full of surprise and suspicion, thinking to herself how this fellow could know so many secrets of the Su clan academy.

"You don't need to look at me like that. I know you are definitely wondering how I know so much. But I have no obligation to tell you." Yang Guan smiled and walked away directly.
