Xiao Ling thought of it and took the Rayquaza egg out of the storage space.
He weighed it in his hands; it was quite heavy.
The shell had black and yellow patterns and looked very mysterious.
Pressing his ear to the shell, he could hear some slight heartbeats, making him look forward to its early birth.
Tucking away the egg, Xiao Ling took out the Blue Silver Empress trunk bone.
Upon holding the soul bone, no violent energy spread out; instead, it gave a gentle feeling, making his exhaustion vanish.
Blue light flickered on it, giving off an elegant aura.
Without thinking more, Xiao Ling took the soul bone and pressed it against his abdomen.
The next second, the crystalline soul bone in his hand glowed brightly, turning into warm currents with a cool aura that surged into his spine.
In the blink of an eye, the soul bone had vanished, and Xiao Ling’s entire trunk was covered in blue-gold light.
Cool, comfortable, without any obstruction or discomfort.
Feeling the abundant energy in his body, Xiao Ling began to circulate his Battle Qi to refine it.
This energy wasn’t violent like Battle Qi; instead, it was very gentle, providing a feeling of ‘moistening things silently.’ The energy moved through his bones and muscles, strengthening Xiao Ling’s physical fitness.
Time ticked away, the moon set and the sun rose, and in a flash, it was the morning of the third day.
Sunlight shone into the room from the window, falling on Xiao Ling.
Gradually, Xiao Ling’s body underwent some changes.
His long hair turned from black to blue, his body grew taller, and his skin became fairer.
His slightly immature face had a few more angles.
Without testing his bone age, most would think he was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth.
Xiao Ling only felt a cool sensation in his mind.
His thoughts became clear, and his soul power also improved.
Sensing the changes in his body, Xiao Ling couldn’t help but be amazed: “Truly worthy of the Blue Silver Empress with its top-level life attribute.
It’s simply a transformation.”
He slowly opened his eyes, his blue-gold pupils filled with joy.
His cultivation had reached 5-Star Battle Practitioner, and his foundation was very solid.
He was also very satisfied with the two new skills he obtained: “Endless wild grass, reborn by the spring breeze” and “Disguise.”
The former was a super-powerful recovery skill that could regrow limbs, while the latter was a more functional skill that could hide his aura.
Before the Battle Sect realm, it ignored level differences.
After Battle Sect, those who didn’t exceed his realm by a full stage wouldn’t be able to see through the disguise.
He made a cut on his palm, and a few drops of bright red blood flowed out.
Activating the soul bone skill “Endless wild grass, reborn by the spring breeze,” the wound on his palm vanished instantly.
The effect was great; Xiao Ling was very satisfied.
Xiao Ling stood up and found his clothes were a bit tight; he had grown taller.
He walked to the mirror in the room and was stunned by the person in the mirror.
“I didn’t expect absorbing a soul bone could have this effect.
The ‘Blue Silver Plastic Surgery’ I heard about online is indeed strong.
But this appearance is a bit hard to explain.” Xiao Ling shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.
“We are still several days away from Jia Nan Academy.
Now that I have a healing skill, even if devouring beast flames causes a backlash, I’m confident I can handle it.
No need to worry.”
Time slowly passed this way. Get faster updates on g.com.
Every day was spent flying and traveling, except for necessary supplies.
After a total of about ten days, they were almost at Jia Nan Academy.
On the way, Mentor Ruo Lin also introduced the surrounding forces and the general situation of the Black Corner Region to the new students.
Jia Nan Academy was located in the Black Corner Region.
This place was a mix of good and bad, with no restraints.
Many wanted criminals and treasures of unknown origin filled the place.
Therefore, in the Black Corner Region, outlaws who killed for money and treasures were everywhere.
She specifically reminded them that if they wanted to go to the Black Corner Region for training in the future, they should remember two things: first, disguise yourself and try not to show wealth or treasures that attract attention.
Second, in the Black Corner Region, do not look down on anyone, especially the elderly, women, and children.
Those who can survive in the Black Corner Region are not easy to deal with.
Jia Nan Academy stood as a piece of pure land within it, maintaining order in the surrounding area.
The academy was constantly patrolled by Law Enforcement Team members, consisting of mentors and students.
Killing those with ill intentions toward the academy also served to let students see the world’s cruelty.
Xiao Ling thus gained a deeper understanding of Jia Nan Academy and the Black Corner Region; it was no longer just an impression from a book.
To avoid drawing unnecessary attention, Xiao Ling activated the “Disguise” skill, hiding his strength back to its original level.
At the same time, his hair color changed back to black.
He planned to maintain these disguises until he stood firm in Jia Nan Academy.
After absorbing the five beast flames and devouring them, Xiao Ling’s cultivation rose to 9-Star Battle Practitioner peak, and Flame Mantra evolved to Mysterious-level Low-grade.
He planned to settle for a few days; breaking through too fast would make it hard to control his power and lead to ‘floating’ Battle Qi.
Xiao Ling thought of it and opened the system panel.
[Ding!
Host’s personal panel is opening automatically]
Host: Xiao Ling Gender: Male Cultivation: 9-Star Battle Practitioner Battle Qi Attribute: Fire (mixed with a trace of Wood) Technique: Flame Mantra (Mysterious Low), Tai Yi Soul Art Battle Skill: Vacuum Palm (Mysterious Low), Fissure Claw Strike (Yellow Middle), Mountain Splitting Palm (Yellow Middle), Rock Crushing Palm (Yellow Middle) Flame: Fused Beast Flame Items: Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night, Rayquaza Egg, Infinite Coke Bottle, Battle Venerable Ruin Map Extraction Chances: 8
Looking at the remaining 8 extraction chances, Xiao Ling didn’t act yet, planning to use them once he reached the academy.
He took out the Rayquaza egg again and used the Blue Silver Empress trunk bone to inject a strand of life energy.
Seeing the egg wobble, Xiao Ling couldn’t help but smile.
It shouldn’t be long before it hatched.
He packed the egg in a backpack and carried it on his back.
Before the little guy hatched, Xiao Ling didn’t plan on putting it into the system warehouse.
The next morning:
As the sky was just getting light, knowing they would arrive today, Xiao Ling ended his cultivation early and walked out of the room.
Standing on the back of the flying monster and looking down, the outline of a city so massive it was jaw-dropping appeared in his sight.
Even high in the sky, looking down, one could only see a tip of the iceberg of Jia Nan City.
Seeing the big through the small, one could imagine just how large this city was.
“Wake up and get your luggage ready; we’ve arrived!”
It was Mentor Ruo Lin’s voice.
Not every student was very diligent in their practice, nor would every student wake up this early.
Listening to the noise nearby, Xiao Ling had nothing to prepare.
Besides the egg on his back, his things were in his belt.
Before long, the flying monster beneath him let out a low roar, vibrated its wings, and dove toward the massive city. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Arriving at Jia Nan Academy, the first thing he saw was a solemn academy gate.
The steps in front of the gate and the giant plaza extending from within were all paved with refined steel rock.
The gate itself was made of high-quality jade, especially the four characters “Jia Nan Academy” on the plaque.
They were shining golden and clearly valuable.
The deep foundation of Jia Nan Academy intimidated this batch of new students just from the front gate.
Even Xiao Ling sighed that Jia Nan Academy was truly rich.
After entering the academy, the senior students who had helped with recruitment left after receiving their contribution point rewards.
All the new students followed Mentor Ruo Lin to the plaza.
Based on their evaluation ranks, they were assigned to mentors, who would then assign their residences.
When the others had scattered, Mentor Ruo Lin walked up to Xiao Ling.
Looking at him with expectation, she said, “Xiao Ling, with your talent, you can pick any of our Outer Academy mentors.
Every mentor hopes their student is a genius.”
“But I still hope you can come to my class.
What I can guarantee you is that in my class, I will definitely apply for the highest level of treatment and cultivation resources for you.”
Rubbing his chin, Xiao Ling spoke: “Mentor Ruo Lin, actually I have Fire and Wood attributes and plan to learn alchemy.
No one in Wu Tan City could teach me, so I planned to come to Jia Nan Academy to learn.
If being in your class doesn’t affect my learning of alchemy and cultivation, I can agree.”
Ruo Lin understood; he wanted a ‘free-range’ style.
But free-range was fine.
There wasn’t much she could teach such a genius anyway.
Once he graduated, there would at least be a mentor-student bond.
Perhaps after he grew up and remembered her, a bit of help from his fingers would be enough for her to be satisfied.
So she spoke: “It won’t interfere.
The academy’s Alchemy Department and Law Enforcement Team are separate from our teaching classes.”
“Our teaching classes mainly assist students with cultivation.
All students in the teaching classes choose to join the Alchemy Department or Law Enforcement Team based on their talent and interests.”
“Joining the Alchemy Department means there will be specific mentors responsible for teaching alchemy techniques and providing medicinal materials for students to accumulate experience.
Joining the Law Enforcement Team means mentors will teach combat techniques and let students gain experience through real combat.” Ruo Lin explained Xiao Ling’s question seriously.
After understanding, Xiao Ling smiled at Ruo Lin and said, “Understood.
Thank you, Mentor, for clarifying.
I’m willing to join your class.”
Hearing Xiao Ling’s clear response, Mentor Ruo Lin gave a charming smile: “Rest assured, my class will not disappoint you.”
“There’s one more thing I almost forgot.
The Outer Academy Principal, Hu Gan, wants to meet you.
I’ll take you there.
Although the Principal is a peak Battle King, his attitude toward students is quite good.” After saying that, Ruo Lin led Xiao Ling toward the Principal’s office.
Walking behind her, Xiao Ling rubbed his chin and pondered: “Why call me alone?
Does he want to take me as a disciple?”
Shaking his head and not thinking more, what comes will come.
Let’s see what the situation is.
