Chapter 93: The Strange Martial Path Class
Upon hearing these words, Su Jin's opinion of this fellow Yang Guan improved dramatically.
Before, she had felt that this classmate Yang Guan was a bit too scheming. She was not very willing to communicate with him.
Now, after hearing this speech of his, she actually found him quite interesting.
"I..." Su Cheng retorted somewhat aggrievedly: "Then according to your logic, no one would want to join the Patrol Bureau, and when true danger arrives, who will come to save you?"
"I never said you couldn't go to the Patrol Bureau. When you are undertaking sect missions, you can completely choose to do a few months of sect missions at the Patrol Bureau, then return to the sect to continue cultivation." Yang Guan said. "The Patrol Bureau is the busiest place within the sect.
If you choose to enter the Patrol Bureau the moment you join the sect, will you have time later to cultivate and improve your cultivation?"
In theory, as soon as they joined the sect, they could choose to join some of the sect's functional departments, such as the Patrol Bureau, the various legions of the Sect War Department, the Sect Pill Department, the Sect Talisman Department, the Sect Clothing Department, and so on.
They could also choose to become ordinary disciples first, focusing on cultivation and undertaking sect missions.
Later, after finding a master, they could make new choices based on their master's suggestions.
"Just like you said, you saw at least ten Patrol Bureau cultivators sacrifice their lives along the way. This is because they are elite cultivators within the sect. If it were ordinary cultivators, I fear even more would die.
So if you aren't strong enough, why go to the Patrol Bureau? Are you looking for death?"
"I... I can't argue with you." Su Cheng frowned slightly. Obviously, she did not quite agree with Yang Guan's words. "But I still stick to my own thoughts."
"I think you are both thinking a bit too far ahead. To join the Patrol Bureau, either your talent must be astonishing, or your cultivation must be astonishing. Without some ability, the Patrol Bureau won't take you anyway." Su Jin said.
The Patrol Bureau is an elite unit of the sect; it is not easily entered.
At least her father and eldest brother were never selected.
They couldn't even get into the reserves!
Many student children: "..."
"By the way, Su Wuji, why have you returned? You were gone for several days, and the Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool closed without you coming back. I thought you wouldn't be back for a short while." Su Jin quickly spoke up to ask again.
She was quite concerned about this matter and thought something might have happened to Su Wuji and the others outside!
Upon hearing this, a smile immediately curved Su Wuji's lips.
He looked at Su Jin with a soothing expression and said: "This time we went out and witnessed a grand scene.
As soon as we arrived there, we were surrounded.
The people of the Patrol Bureau used us as bait, launching a fierce battle against thousands of black-clad figures at the foot of the Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool. The slaughter was truly insane.
There was life-and-death combat on the ground, and duels of flying swords carrying people in the sky, with massive spells bombarding each other.
Watching from the rock cave below, we were all boiling with excitement. Everyone petitioned the Headmaster, asking to go down the mountain to help.
However, the Headmaster and others did not let us participate.
They said the oldest of us was only twelve, too young to let us go.
Later, when the Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool opened, we and the student children from other clan schools and Dao Academies could only go to the Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool to cleanse ourselves first.
That Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool was truly powerful.
I stayed inside for five days; I didn't even enter the center of the Meridian Cleansing Pool, yet I broke through to the fourth layer of Body Tempering. Almost one layer per day. If breaking through the fourth layer of Body Tempering weren't so difficult, I might have been able to continue my Breakthrough Realm.
Even Yang Guan broke through to the third layer of Body Tempering.
However, that group of beasts in the Martial Path Class was even more formidable.
Among them, three fellows were simply perverts, prodigies, non-humans.
They actually broke through from the Mortal Realm to the Innate Realm, and then from the Innate Realm to the Qi Refining Realm. Relying on condensing Martial Path True Essence into Martial Path Method Yuan, they each broke through to the second layer of Qi Refining.
Don't you think that's awesome?"
Hearing terms like pervert, prodigy, and non-human from Su Wuji's mouth showed just how stunning those three were.
"Then this Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool is too useful!" Su Jin sighed, "If you went in to wash more often, perhaps you could break through to Physical Foundation Establishment while still at the clan school."
"Can't break through. I heard those senior students say the Meridian Cleansing Pool is most effective only the first time it is used. If you come again later, the effect will worsen. After all, if the Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool were truly that strong, able to help people achieve Physical Foundation Establishment, it wouldn't possibly be left in the mountains outside our Xiancheng.
I heard them say this Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool is mainly used to lay our foundation.
The student children from the Dao Academy side say that once you break through to the seventh layer of Body Tempering, the Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool is no longer needed, it has no use."
Su Wuji patiently explained this to Su Jin.
"Then why didn't you return after the Beast Blood Meridian Cleansing Pool closed?" Su Jin asked again.
"It is said it was to coordinate with City Lord Xu Chengzhu's purge plan. So we stayed outside for a few days. During these few days, those three perverts from the Martial Path Class teamed up to challenge Martial Path Class peers from the four great Dao Academies.
They actually won most of the challenges.
Making everyone remember those three.
I also heard that the four great Dao Academies are secretly poaching, hoping to pry them over to the Dao Academies.
I heard some senior students say that this year's first-year Martial Path Class at our clan school is exceptionally strange, and even without those three big perverts, their overall strength level far exceeds previous years.
They are comparable to the Martial Path Class geniuses carefully selected by the Dao Academies."
"Is the Martial Path Class that powerful?" Su Jin asked in surprise.
"Yes. This year, the Martial Path Class is strangely powerful." Su Wuji used the word "strange" again. "Just you wait; those three will either be poached by the four great Dao Academies, or the Su Clan School will offer extremely good treasures to them to keep them."
"Then when did you return?" Su Jin asked.
"Actually, we returned to the outskirts of Xiancheng yesterday. City Lord Xu Chengzhu's purge plan was likely that battle yesterday. As soon as the battle ended, we were released to go home." Su Wuji said.
"Can your fourth layer of Body Tempering fight those people from the Martial Path Class?
Are you talking about those three perverts?" Su Wuji said helplessly: "I can't beat them."
Su Jin: "..."
"You haven't seen the battles between them. I saw the three of them spar with each other. That was truly amazing; it didn't look like early-stage Qi Refining cultivators fighting, it looked like late-stage Qi Refining cultivators dueling. However, once I cultivate my skill in drawing talismans in the future, I might not really lose in combat." Su Wuji said.
That meant he simply couldn't win through pure martial force.
Su Jin thought to herself that she also needed to prepare more, so that when the arena battles opened in the third year, she wouldn't get beaten into a sorry state.
But what craft should she learn to help herself in combat?
At least she shouldn't be knocked off the arena immediately when she steps onto it.
Why not turn back and ask Grandpa?
