Chapter 449 Freshman Lesson 1
Chapter 449 Freshman Lesson 1
The next day.
The morning light shines through the spiritual energy lingering among the mountains.
On the mountain road, the air is fresh and the sun is bright.
After a good night's sleep in the new cave, Rong Shu and the other three packed up a bit and went out together. They compared the map of the academy on the student order and began to familiarize themselves with every tree and blade of grass in the academy.
The Jixia Academy has a profound heritage and currently has a total of 72 teachers in the academy.
These teachers each have their own strengths. Some are in charge of the internal affairs of the academy and maintain its daily operation; others are specifically responsible for giving lectures and imparting skills, techniques, and insights into the Tao.
If they come across a student who is extremely talented and who catches their eye, the teachers will consider accepting him or her as a student and teaching him or her carefully.
When it was almost time for the lectures to start at Zigui Garden, Rong Shu and the other three rushed over.
However, as soon as they approached Shikien, the four of them were stunned.
I saw that the Zigui Garden, which was in a mess yesterday due to various spells, flying swords, puppets, and talismans, with potholes all over the ground and broken pavilions, was now completely brand new!
The damaged buildings were perfectly restored, the charred ground was paved with new bluestone slabs, and the destroyed flowers, plants and trees were replaced with lush new plants of the same variety.
The entire Zigui Garden was filled with spiritual energy, clean and elegant, without even a trace of the fierce melee of yesterday.
"This..." Lu Zhuo shook his jade fan, and marveled, "Senior Sister Tianzhu's mobility...isn't it too terrifying? She recovered overnight?"
Feng Qianli nodded. "In my early years, I traveled with my master and saw several puppeteers repair a severely damaged city in the secular world in just a few days. For a puppeteer of Senior Sister Tianzhu's level, even though she is only a small Ziguiyuan, it is not difficult for her to control a large number of civil puppets to carry out repairs with her full strength."
Rong Shu's fingertips gently brushed against a new leaf. "Furthermore, this isn't just a simple restoration. Every blade of grass and every tree is arranged exactly as it was yesterday. This level of meticulousness is truly extraordinary."
At this time, other freshmen arrived one after another.
When a freshman saw Rong Shu's figure, he took the initiative to step forward and, rather embarrassedly, returned the pills and talismans he had "bought on credit" yesterday to her, converting them into spirit stones at the market price.
"Rong Shu, thank you so much for yesterday..."
"These are the spirit stones for the elixirs and talismans. Please count them."
Rong Shu accepted the spirit stones without hesitation: "Okay, okay. Next time you need elixirs or talismans, remember to come to me! I'll give you as much as you want!"
She made the pills herself, so the cost is controllable.
She exchanged the talismans in large quantities at Wenxin Academy using her points.
Now that he had obtained the spirit stones, Rong Shu was in a very happy mood as he had made a small profit.
A moment later, Senior Sister Yun Shu appeared in Zigui Garden.
Besides her, there was also a teacher wearing a plain Taoist robe.
"Greetings, Master, Senior Sister Yun Shu."
The first class in Shikien begins.
The teacher glanced calmly at the freshmen present, without saying a word, and started the first class directly.
The Master waved his hand and wrote eight words out of thin air:
There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
Then, the teacher nodded slightly towards Yun Shu.
Yun Su understood and took a step forward. She glanced at the freshmen below who had had a "fierce" fight with her yesterday, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She slowly raised one hand, spread her five fingers, and uttered four words softly:
"A spark will start a prairie fire."
In an instant, all the freshmen felt that the scene before their eyes suddenly twisted and changed!
The bluestone slabs under my feet, the pavilions and waterside terraces around me, the flowers, plants and trees in the distance... everything disappeared!
Instead, there was an endless, blazing sea of fire!
Burning! Suffocating! Destruction!
The terrifying high temperature instantly enveloped everyone, as if it was going to completely burn them from body to soul!
Some people subconsciously circulated their spiritual energy frantically in an attempt to protect themselves, but were horrified to find that their own spiritual energy had become scorching hot in this strange sea of fire.
The spiritual energy used to protect the body not only failed to isolate the high temperature, but was like adding oil to a frying pan, making the burning sensation even worse.
What was even more surprising was that the surroundings were filled only with extremely restless and violent fire aura, and the auras of other attributes were almost completely expelled. Even breathing became extremely difficult, as if one was thousands of feet high in the sky.
Rong Shu tried to absorb the fire spirit.
However, she discovered that the fire spirit energy that normally flowed into her body very docilely became "unruly" and resisted being absorbed by her.
Not only Rong Shu, but other freshmen with fire spiritual roots have gradually discovered this problem.
"What's going on? I can't absorb any fire energy..."
"I can't breathe either, it's so strange..."
Yun Shu stood quietly in the center of the sea of fire, his clothes fluttering and his expression calm.
She didn't even make a move. Just standing there was enough to make most of the freshmen present throw down their weapons and armor, without even a hint of resistance.
Not to mention fighting, even spiritual energy is difficult to mobilize.
A strange light flashed in Rong Shu's eyes, "This is... the art of divine power? It's so magical, it's not something that ordinary people can easily control!"
It was just a few breaths, but for the freshmen it felt as long as a thousand years.
Just when someone was about to give up, Yun Shu retracted his five fingers.
The sea of fire suddenly disappeared like a dream.
Everyone returned to the elegant and peaceful Zigui Garden. The sun was warm and the breeze was gentle, as if the purgatory-like scene just now had never happened.
But the freshmen's chests were heaving violently, and their pale faces and the remaining fear in their eyes clearly showed that the engulfment in the sea of fire just now was not an illusion.
Yesterday, the freshmen quietly developed a sense of complacency and pride because of the "fight back and forth" with the seniors.
At this moment, it was crushed to pieces by Yun Shu's display of absolute power difference, leaving nothing behind.
The Master spoke slowly, his voice calm yet soothing:
"You don't have to be discouraged."
"Yun Shu is on this year's Millennium Dragon and Tiger List."
"Those on the list are all outstanding students in the academy today, possessing strength and potential far exceeding their peers."
"Today, thanks to Yun Su, you are able to witness this kind of power. This is a rare blessing for you. It also allows you to know in advance that there are always people better than you."
"Remember, you must concentrate on your cultivation and avoid being impatient and anxious."
Afterwards, Xuanheng, Tianzhu and Digang from yesterday also came.
During one class, the freshmen had experienced six or seven magical skills up close.
Once the supernatural power is released, everyone below the level of a god becomes an ant.
The various magical methods of supernatural powers are not only incredibly powerful, but also difficult to guard against, let alone figure out the rules and find ways to crack them.
After the teacher left, Yun Su announced to the freshmen, "Lectures are not held every day. The next one will be in three days."
"In the meantime, if you have any questions, just come and find us on the Dragon and Tiger List."
