Sara entered the building and sat on one of the farthest seats from the teacher's desk. Megan was already there waiting for all the students to gather. Yaoyao arrived right after and sat next to her. "Why didn't you join Daniel?" Sara replied in a calm tone. "Because I had a lesson." "But isn't he the most famous person in the academy?" Sara shrugged his shoulders. "Should I care?" "Well, face is really important to nobles. There is a high chance that his group will retaliate." Sara shrugged her shoulders again and focused on Megan. The course went on for a few hours with the Professor explaining the most common usage of the various centers of power. After that, Sara went back to her lodging and found out that Yaoyao's warning was on point. Two male students were standing in front of her accommodation with smirks on their faces. "Do you think that breaking Lord Daniel's record gives you the right to ignore him?" The other continued. "Lord Daniel is too kind and doesn't
The Ashura was a humanoid magical beast with three heads and six arms.The Three forms of the Ashura, as a rank 4 technique, could inherently improve the martial art of a cultivator multiplying her attacks till they reached the number of arms of the Ashura.Each form, on the other hand, had more amazing effects.The First form could increase the number of attacks by a large amount, creating material after-images through the "Breath" of the cultivator.However, fighting in that way comported a heavy burden on the cultivator's mind.Sara was battling seven people at the same time, her mental energy depleted to aid her concentration on her various opponents.She didn't commit any mistakes though, there were no flaws in her combat style.She had already been used on dividing her senses with the blood companion so it had been easier for her to learn the First form.Little by little, all the students were pushed back with many small cuts appearing on their bodies.In Sara's perception, it w
It was night and Sara was silently cultivating.Seven vortexes were on her back, constantly absorbing cold and dark "Breath" and pushing it toward her dantian.In front of her dantian, another vortex rotated between her joint hands, taking in even more "Breath" from the environment.The process of training both her dantian and her body at the same time was quite taxing for her sea of consciousness and even the stress on her dantian was not negligible.However, Sara held on.When the dawn came, Sara opened her eyes.A sixth of her mental energy was depleted and she felt nothing but tiredness from the intensive training but she was used to it by then.One month had passed since the events with the other students and Sara never slacked off.She occupied her new accommodation and made the best use of the higher density of "Breath" by managing to practice in the Dark vortex technique and in the Yin body at the same time.She had to review her training schedule though as she had to rest aft
The technique described in Ivor's book was a method to connect the space inside the sea of consciousness with the outside world.The cultivator had to use his projection inside the mental sphere as a link where the "Breath" had to pass through.However, the sea of consciousness was a personal space of the cultivator, it was his same mind, not a place appropriate to store "Breath".But the Elemental forging method did exactly that: it forced the "Breath" of Heaven and Earth outside of their dominion and refined it through the mental energy of the cultivator, making it a form of energy that could be shaped as the cultivator wanted.The "Breath" had its own will though, it could even oppose the advancements of the dantian, it was no wonder that it struggled to no end when it was put inside a sea of consciousness.Of course, a failure in containing it led to a backlash.That was precisely what was happening to Sara.The "Breath" that entered her mental sphere self-detonated because she ha
Time passed quickly in the academy.Sara had almost no time left for her daily needs.She used all her nights to cultivate her dantian and body and all her days between the Kesier rune, her martial art, her courses, and the Elemental forging method.She had resumed sleeping only every two days in order to make room for all her exercises and some results were finally shown on her ninth month in the academy.Her mind had grown stronger due to the intensive training in the Kesier rune and the pressure exerted from the "Breath" inside her sea of consciousness.Her body had improved due to the Yin body and had finally entered the middle tier of the third rank, she had broken through the third seal and unlocked more of her bloodline.Her dexterity with the Three forms of the Ashura and the Shadow steps spell had vastly increased thanks to the continuous sparring sessions with Yaoyao, the First form was still her limit though.She had concluded three more missions successfully, they were all
Sara spoke without moving her eyes from the Kesier rune."It's not that, I just don't have time for other people."Her mental sphere was enlarging at an incredible speed, Sara didn't want to waste any of her time inside the Sulfur domain on socializing."What about Murray, Norman, and Scott?"Daniel asked but those names meant nothing to Sara."I don't know who they are.""The three seniors in front of the entrance door."Sara shrugged her shoulders."Oh, them. They allowed me to pass."One of Daniel's eyebrows arched when he heard Sara's words."All they want is to please me. They will never allow anyone inside unless I say so."Sara didn't move at all, her gaze was always on the rune as she answered."So, you do know that your followers are mindless idiots."Daniel chuckled softly."Idiots? Maybe. Mindless? Not at all. It's the nature of humans to stick with the strongest person or the one with the best future prospects. You might not know but I'm the only cultivator of the light el
The week passed quickly.Sara went outside the academy ground donned in her usual reddish gym suit.She had left eight hundred Credits to Ivor and used again the Sulfur domain to make sure that she had increased her power as much as possible.She had only one thousand and six hundred Credits and twenty merit points left, she was in need of the rewards of the mission.However, her headache had vastly diminished in intensity which left her pleasantly surprised.'I should really pay more attention to the faculties of the academy.'Right outside of the entrance, in Arolyac forest, Lady Chen was waiting with three more students."Why am I not surprised that you are here?"One of the students was Yaoyao and she spoke as soon as she saw Sara arriving."We are the best in our class as well as the poorest. It is quite obvious for us to join this mission."Sara answered.During the previous months, Yaoyao had clearly shown her superiority to Justin, gaining the undisputed title of the second st
Nigel asked a question to the captain."Captain, what do you mean by that?"Preston moved some hair away from his forehead before answering."On the first layer, the dimension was an icy field populated by rank 3 Snow bears. On the second one, we were in an underground area against Steeled centipedes. From that, we can imagine that all the other layers will contain a different environment. One thing you might want to know is that they are real magical beasts and not some creations of the inheritance ground."'They actually created real environments and filled them with the magical beasts corresponding to each location. I don't even want to think at the amount of preparation required to set up something like that.'Sara thought, marveled by the Royal inheritance.Nigel spoke again."So, we just need to clear the floor to pass it?"Preston nodded."That's the method that we used and it worked just fine.""Number of specimens?""One hundred on the first layer and two hundred in the secon
