It was now the hour of the morning, and he was still sitting on the cot in his bedroom. Rather than calling it a bedroom, the word "training room" was more appropriate. After all, it was just a bedroom decoration, Tian Cheng had never used it as a bedroom. That small bed couldn't even be called a bed anymore. The only thing Tian Cheng did was cultivate while sitting in meditation.
This was already a month later. During this month, Tian Cheng would cultivate very diligently every single day, and he originally thought that he would be able to open all the Death Acupuncture Points and successfully cultivate the first level of the Beast Element Spell within a short period of time. However, things did not go as he wished. Today was the tenth day and he was about to attempt breaking through his final acupoint. However, no matter how hard he tried, his acupoints were like dead creatures, without any movement at all.
This month, everything seemed to be going against him. After confirming that he was researching the mysterious potion in the right direction, he made some progress in his research. However, this progress was only made a few days ago. He had tried many guesses, but each of them gave him a satisfactory solution.
At this moment, he opened his eyes once again from his perspiring efforts. There was doubt, helplessness, and unwillingness in his eyes.
When he opened the door, it was raining heavily outside. The sound of thunder reverberated through the world. Not caring about all these, Tian Cheng strolled through the rain. No matter how the wind and rain blew, they wouldn't be able to stop him. He walked to the top of the mountain and sat on top of a huge green boulder that stood tall on the mountain peak. The lightning illuminated the land from time to time. The black figure on the huge rock remained unmoving, as if it had merged with the blue stone, the small mountain, the earth, and the entire world.
He faced the sky, trying to let as much rain as he could wash down his face. He was not venting, much less complaining. He was trying to find a peace, a peace that transcended nature.
Perhaps she really should calm down like this. This kind of rain, this kind of night, it seemed like it was all prepared for this kind of person.
The rain slowly stopped and Tian Cheng's heart calmed down as well. The sun was back on the earth, and people were getting busy with their lives. When he opened his eyes, what appeared in front of Tian Cheng was the busy shadows of the villagers.
"What is the purpose of cultivation?" Tian Cheng asked himself.
"Isn't it just life? "Cultivation originates from life!"
"Then why don't I train in life? Isn't this the theory behind entering the world of cultivation? "
"I had always thought that one had to wait until they had enough strength before they could go out and adventure. No wonder my last acupoint couldn't be broken through. These days, I've been separated from my life. Now is the time to go out and gain experience. " After thinking it through, Tian Cheng jumped off the limestone, and quickly ran back home.
"Grandfather, Second and Third Brother, come here for a while. Hearing Tian Cheng's shouts, the three people who were currently in the midst of training stopped. The two brothers looked at each other for a moment before walking over. Usually during training, Big Brother would never disturb them midway. I don't know if today ? In next to no time, the four of them had gathered together.
"Grandfather, it's the sixteenth of July today. You said before that St. Bist Royal Academy is normally used to recruit new students on the eighth of August every year, right?" Tian Cheng asked. Note: The year here is divided into twelve months, January is split into thirty days, and the day is also twenty-four hours. There are also the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, although the place where Tian Cheng is at can't feel it.
The St. Bist Royal Academy was a school of legends. Amongst the major advanced academies in the continent, only the top three academies from the other three empires were as famous as it was. However, the reason why he was called Royal Academy was not because the Imperial Family controlled him. It was because the majority of the people who attended school there were either royal or noble sons, and only a small part of them were talented and hardworking commoners. Legend said that St. Bist Academy was created by a peerless genius from five thousand years ago, a dual cultivator who had reached Saint Level in both magic and martial arts. He was an existence that all humans of the continent looked up to.
However, St. Bist Royal Academy was not famous for this name, but rather for the students who had graduated from there. Each and every one of them, whether it was Wen Tao or Wu Lun, were abnormal existences in front of their peers. They were important targets recruited by the various countries and powers. As long as they wanted money and status, everything was up to them. At some point, a country might completely change its fate because of such a talent. Their strength told the world that they were definitely not bragging.
Going there to study was also Tian Cheng's dream. After knowing the reason behind his parents' death, Tian Cheng's desire to go to that city was even greater, because he absolutely could not live with his enemy, Horvath. No matter what it was for, he would definitely go to that place this time!
Hearing his grandson mention St. Bist Royal Academy, the old man's eyes burned with passion, and he replied: "That's right, this is also the first continent's unchanging rule that goes on for a thousand years, child. What do you want?"
"Yes, grandfather!" Tian Cheng said seriously: "I want to apply for this academy. My cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, and I need to go out for a walk. This time, not only will I go, I will also bring my two younger brothers with me. If you are willing, it would be best if you come with us. " Before saying these words, Tian Cheng had already made up his mind that he wouldn't be going to this academy no matter what. Moreover, it was with his own ability that he had absolute confidence that he could pass the examination.
As for his two younger brothers, of course the earlier he got to know the system, the better. Tian Cheng could only be considered as a half-hearted master, and he had no idea about the cultivation method of Spiritual Power at all. After a month of intense and profound training, coupled with the effects of the mysterious potion, they had almost broken through to the fifth level. It was rare to see a ten year old fifth level elementalist in the mainland. Moreover, they were definitely not some level 5 elementalists. More than ten days ago, Tian Cheng had already requested for them to train in mental abilities, so Tian Cheng was confident that he could bring them along.
"But, child, Grandfather knows that your strength is not ordinary. However, that St. Bist Academy is definitely not as simple as you think. You must know that our Southern Wind Empire has a total of more than a billion people. Including the few small surrounding countries, our total population is about two billion people. There must be at least several hundred million under the age of eighteen! However, less than five thousand people enter the exam every year. Your strength is not bad, but you are not someone to be trifled with. Grandpa didn't have any intention to stop you, on the contrary, I had to raise both my hands in support. Grandfather only wants to remind you that the outside world is very complicated. You absolutely cannot underestimate anyone, and even more so, do not overestimate yourself. Ever since he had cultivated Tai Chi, the old man's views and values seemed to have deepened, and his words were filled with philosophy. Tian Cheng was sure that his grandfather from the past could not speak of these things.
Tian Cheng nodded and replied: "Grandfather, I will be careful. You know I have a lot of secret weapons! "But you are ?"
The old man raised his head and laughed: "Grandfather is already old, I am not suitable to travel with you young people, good men have their ambitions, this world is yours, I will not blindly intervene, this Taiji Fist technique has already calmed my heart, now I just want to stay with him, you guys can rest easy!" Grandpa has so many villagers watching, he won't be lonely. " As he spoke of this, no matter how brilliant the smile on the old man's face was, it couldn't conceal the sadness in his heart. His grandson, who he had grown up with, was finally about to spread his wings and soar through the skies. He should cry and laugh even more.
Hearing his grandfather say that, Tian Cheng felt relieved, he would also believe that even if the old man did not have them by his side, he would not be lonely. Solitude is a gift for the lonely, and the old man is not a loner.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, are you willing to go with me to the continent's most advanced academy to study?" Although Tian Cheng had already made the decision for them, he still respected them a lot.
The two brothers didn't immediately nod. Instead, they asked, "Brother, what's the difference between training in the academy and training at home?"
"The difference is huge!" Tian Cheng began to solemnly introduce the benefits of the Academy. There, you can meet many of your peers who are powerful, learn all kinds of knowledge, and even ? In any case, there were many benefits. Most importantly, you could always know the difference between yourself and others. This way, you would be able to constantly urge yourself to work hard and improve, instead of being a frog in a well. Do you understand? "
At this time, Wes pulled at the corner of his brother's clothes, as if he was hinting at something. After a long while, brother Vida finally mustered the courage to blush and said to Tian Cheng: "Brother, actually, what we want to know the most is whether or not there are girls."
"No, no!" At this time, Wes also interrupted, "It should be that I'm asking if there's any beautiful girls like us."
Seeing these two cute twins actually ask such a shocking question, Tian Cheng felt such regret and hatred! Why did he let that perverted little mouse, Xiao Jin, mingle with them? What good children! He was led astray by a mouse just like that. Tian Cheng was so angry he shouted, "Xiao Jin, I will kill you!"
When Tian Cheng's mood had calmed down, the elderly man by the side spoke again: "Child, you must have a condition to register at the St. Bist Academy."
After writing up to here, Tian Cheng's path had begun to move towards this exciting world. The later parts of the plot would definitely be more exciting, I hope everyone can give me some encouragement!
