Chapter 66: This Year's Martial Class Exceeds the Syllabus
"You want to mooch the spiritual qi of our Third Academy, fine. But you cannot use our invitation as your excuse. You can use any other method, as long as you can persuade Liu Shi to let the three of you come early, and we will agree to let you come," Su Wuji said with a smile.
"Very well. Then it is settled," Su Linyuan chuckled, as if he had been prepared for this all along.
Su Wuji did not mind.
After all, no one would say that they had invited them over.
That was fine!
If they actually succeeded, it would be because Su Linyuan was resourceful; he would accept the loss of the bet. They accepted.
In the afternoon, just after Su Jin and the other two had begun cultivating for a short while, Liu Shi arrived, bringing Su Yunhu, Su Linyuan, and Yang Guan.
The three of them stopped cultivating simultaneously and looked at them.
As soon as Liu Shi saw the three of them, he smiled and said, "Su Linyuan said that the three of them are about to break through to the second realm of Qi Refining, but the spiritual qi over there is insufficient, delaying their breakthrough. To break through quickly, he is willing to personally gift you three hundred spirit stones, one hundred for each person. I wonder if you can allow the three of them to borrow the spiritual qi of the Third Academy to break through to the second realm of Qi Refining?"
Hearing this, Su Wuji laughed directly, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked Su Jin and Su Cheng, "What do you think?"
"I have no objection," Su Cheng said.
"I agree," Su Jin also nodded. After all, even if they disagreed, these three fellows could break through within a month.
Letting them come over to borrow spiritual qi, and earning one hundred spirit stones for each person, she thought it was acceptable.
"Since they all agree, I have no objection either," Su Wuji said.
"Very well, Su Linyuan, it is up to you," Liu Shi said with a smile.
Su Linyuan very obediently presented three hundred spirit stones.
"Brother Wuji, please accept them."
"Brother Cheng, please take good care of us."
"Sister A-Jin, in the future, if there is anything delicious or good to drink, please remember me." Su Linyuan was not only obedient, but also thick-skinned and extremely fawning.
He also bowed and asked, "Brother Wuji, Brother Cheng, Sister A-Jin, can we come over today?"
Su Wuji laughed heartily: "Fine, you can come over."
This left Yang Guan and Su Yunhu staring in shock.
It also made Liu Shi laugh heartily.
It was over; his image was gone.
Haha, she had thought that this kid Su Linyuan was a thorn from a good family background who would likely cause her trouble in the future.
She did not expect this kid to truly be someone who could bend and stretch!
Thick-skinned and able to be quirky; no wonder he dared to sneak over a month early.
"What are you looking at? The two of you being able to follow over here means you owe me a huge favor. You must repay me later," Su Linyuan, having obtained the agreement of Su Wuji and the other two, immediately became arrogant again.
"Is this guy suffering from split personality? Why does he change his face so fast, like two different people?" Su Yunhu complained directly.
"Or perhaps he has a twin self hidden inside his heart all along," Yang Guan nodded.
He was just saying split personality in more elegant words.
Su Linyuan gave the two of them an annoyed glare.
"Thank you, Liu Shi, for your help. Thank you, Brother Wuji, Brother Cheng, and Sister A-Jin, for giving us this opportunity. We three will definitely cherish this opportunity, cultivate hard, and strive to break through to the second realm of Qi Refining as soon as possible. Now, the three of us will go back to pack our things first, and we will come over later."
After speaking, he dragged Yang Guan and Su Yunhu back to pack their things.
Liu Shi watched them leave with a hearty laugh, and then asked Su Wuji and the other two, "Do any of you three plan to enter the Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool next month?"
"Yes, me," Su Wuji raised his hand and said.
Liu Shi looked at him, nodded encouragingly, and then said, "The Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool is built outside the city. You will go there three days in advance and wait for the pool to open.
Five days before the Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool opens, the quotas will be completely finalized.
Su Wuji, if you want to fight for this quota, you must break through your Body Refining realm by one layer before that.
I can tell you a very cruel truth. The Martial Class already has ten students who have broken through their Body Refining realm by one layer. There is still one month until the Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool opens, and their class should have even more students who can break through.
The performance of the students in the Martial Class this year is a bit beyond the syllabus.
In previous years, at this time, at most one or two would break through the first layer of Body Refining.
So you must hurry up."
Su Wuji could not help but draw in a sharp breath. "Is the Martial Class so powerful now? I heard an older senior brother say that the Martial Class has been obscure and had no presence for the first three years, hasn't it?"
"That was previous years. The Martial Class is truly powerful this year. Yesterday, when the Headmaster told me about the Martial Class's performance, I was almost scared into a stupor. The Headmaster said that there are several students in the Martial Class this year with extremely good martial arts talent and comprehension that can be described as heaven-defying.
These few students are very likely to complete the reversal of the acquired to the innate in martial arts before the end of this year, and then break through to Qi Refining by surpassing the innate limits.
If they break through to Qi Refining, your pressure will come.
After all, between the first and third realms of Qi Refining, your combat power is actually not very different.
But the Martial Methods they cultivate are much more powerful than ordinary Qi Refining spells.
Their combat power can absolutely reverse and defeat those of higher realms.
So even if you are in the third realm of Qi Refining, you might be defeated by a kid in the first realm of Qi Refining who cultivates Martial Methods.
For your third-year arena battle, if you do not want to be beaten into a sorry state, you must polish the spells you have learned until they are proficient; only then will they be more suitable for combat," Liu Shi could not help but remind them.
The three of them listened with their mouths wide open in shock.
They did not expect the Martial Class this year to be so powerful; wouldn't they become strong enemies competing for Foundation Establishment resources in the future?
The expressions of the three darkened.
The pressure was even greater, wasn't it?
"Do not just feel that your pressure has increased greatly. Actually, having stronger opponents is a good thing for you.
You might not know, but there are many good things in our clan academy's treasure vault. But whether someone can take them away is hard to say. Only the most excellent students can get the treasures of the vault.
But how can we determine that you are the most excellent students?
Naturally, there must be powerful opponents to set them off."
So there's no need to fear; just charge ahead.
As long as you perform well, do you fear there won't be resources for you when the treasure vault opens?"
Liu Shi encouraged them.
Su Wuji and the other two were instantly stirred to boiling passion by her words.
They thought to themselves, why overthink it? Just charging ahead is the right way.
Liu Shi looked at the three of them with satisfaction, thinking, that's right; at the very least, their morale must not waver!!
As for whether you will ultimately receive the Clan Academy Treasure Vault's gift, that depends on your final performance. The Clan Academy Treasure Vault will not open easily; each opening means a future Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator has been reserved.
