Chapter 13: Entering the academy
Finally, the evaluation time has come.
Those who had comprehended the skill had to execute it once in front of elder Bai and those who hadn't comprehended the skill stood there with a gloomy face.
Shortly after, the examination comes to an end. "29 students passed this year examination. The rest can come back and try again next year."
Elder Bai turned to one of the students behind him and beckon him to come in front. "Everyone, follow Cheng Tian to get your badge and uniform then he will lead you to your dormitory."
Immediately after saying that he quickly disappeared.
"Ding... Mission 'Join the academy' completed"

In his room...
Tian Feng was trying out his new outfit. It was blue with a few red stripes. There's also a black badge with a shining silver flying sword embedded on it. There are three books and one sword on the table.
This academy name is Divine Sword Academy so it wouldn't be strange if it gives out a sword each to its student.
The three books were also given by the academy. They are Divine Sword Skill, Divine Body Technique, Divine Punch Skill which is the completed version of Basic Divine Punch.
Earlier, Tian Feng has already completed the 5 level of Basic Divine Punch Skill.
At this moment, Tian Feng was overwhelmed with skills and points. He doesn't know which to do first. Should I practice skills first or... Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door.
Forgetting his thought, he goes to open it. It was Da Jing and Li'er.
They both have already changed to their school uniform and even equipped the sword on their waist. Tian Feng was also in his uniform by the way but there's no sword on his waist.
Tian Feng smiles wryly. He could already guess the reason they both come here. They must have come to demand an explanation.
His guess was more or less correct. As soon as they were allocated to their room, Da Jing and Li'er quickly adorned their uniform and assess everything that they got from the academy. They can't wait to hear Tian Feng explanation especially Li'er. They don't even care to look what their room is like.
When Li'er comes out of her room, she saw that Da Jing was coming out of his room. Earlier, the three of them requested their senior to arrange their room next to each other.
Thus resulting in the current situation. Knowing that he can't escape this forever, Tian Feng beckons them to enter. "Come in first then we'll talk later."
Both of them entered Tian Feng's room. Li'er was sitting on a chair by the table and Da Jing was standing by the closed window. Since there's only one chair in the room, Tian Feng had to sit on his bed.
"Li'er, I know what you want to know but there's a limit to what I can actually tell you."
"Alright! I will not make it hard for you." Li'er said staring at Tian Feng unblinkingly.
"Thank you." Tian Feng paused a moment before he continues "Li'er! I don't want to lie to you. I can't tell you the how I know you but you can say that today was our first meeting." he had wanted to lie but he decided not to. He didn't like to lie to people he like so he can only say this.
Noticing Li'er unconvinced expression, he hurriedly added. "Li'er! It's not that I want to keep it a secret but I think it's better if you don't know about it for the time being."
Li'er responds with silence. Tian Feng is getting more nervous. Should I just lie to her? or Should I just tell her the truth? After all, I already told my parents and both of them believed me. "If you still want to know, I will tell you but I'm afraid that you won't even believe me then."
Li'er was getting more and more curious about the boy in front of her. He getting more and more mysterious. Noticing the conflicted looks on Tian Feng's face, she laughed. "Alright! I won't ask you anymore but you must promise me that when I ask you about this next time, you must tell me the truth."
Tian Feng nodded and said. "Alright! I promise."
He heaves a sigh of relief in his heart. Recalling that Da Jing was also here, he turned to the window. "Da Jing! Why are you here too?"
Da Jing was still waiting to know how Tian Feng know Li'er when he heard the question. He spats "Why? Can't I come to listen too? Are you getting the girl and forget about the friend?"
When Tian Feng heard that, he was speechless. He had only asked the other party for the purpose of his visit. But who could have known that not only does the other party didn't answer him, he even spats out a bunch of nonsense to him?
Knowing that his friend didn't mean any evil intention, he laughs bitterly. "Hehehe... stop making a joke like this!"
Da Jing also started to laugh. "I initially want to know many things but now I don't want to know anymore."
Li'er suddenly remember something then she turned to Tian Feng "Tian Feng! The skill you used earlier, can you tell me about it?"
Immediately after she said it, she realized that she shouldn't be asking this question so she quickly corrects herself. "It's okay if you can't talk about it, I'm just curious. That's all."
In the world of cultivators, it's considered inappropriate to ask someone about their technique. However, when Tian Feng heard this, it was like a heavy stone is falling on him. Does she mean that I'm a kind of person who can't talk about anything? I'm not that petty, okay?
Tian Feng shook his head and said. "It's fine. I can tell you about this. Except for that one thing, I wouldn't hide anything from you."
Upon hearing that Tian Feng wouldn't hide anything from her, Li'er quickly lowered her head to hide her faint blush.
Tian Feng stands up and walks to her. "That skill is called 'Piecing Bullet'. It was a skill that I created."
He raised his finger to show her the skill. When Li'er saw it, she was astounded. Da Jing who was standing on the side also walked over to see it more clearly.
Li'er eyes lit up in excitement. "Tian Feng! This skill is awesome and more importantly, your Qi is so pure."
Da Jing also exclaimed "Earlier, I noticed that you have completely comprehended the Basic Divine Punch. Bro, since when have you become such a genius, huh?"
He paused for a moment before standing up straight and declare proudly. "But even if you are a genius, I Da Jing, won't lose out to you at all. hahaha"
Tian Feng laughs and proudly said. "I'm not that easy to beat, you know? hehe... Li'er! What do you think? Am I right?"
Li'er stood up too and said laughingly. "hahaha... It doesn't matter whether he beat you or not. Your empress, I will be the strongest here."
Upon seeing this sight, a warm feeling invaded his heart. It was this kind of friendship that he wants. Tian Feng was always a kind of person who values his friendship a lot. "Li'er! Da Jing! Let's form a team together. Tomorrow, let's go to the gathering together. From today onward, we'll be together and support each other. What do you guys say?"
Li'er looked at him for a moment before she nodded. "Sounds good!"
Da Jing turned away and walked to the door leaving only his back for the two to see. "Alright!"
After which, they both went to their room. There are still many things to do so they won't waste much time chatting. Since they're going to be together, they got to be stronger to protect each other.
Tian Feng takes out his sword from the inventory. It's better than the sword that the academy gave him. He only looks at it for a while before keeping it back. He's still weak so it wouldn't be good to carry a treasure around.
He wants to improve his movement technique first. Today someone called Liu Qu has beaten him to the contest of speed which he has been proud of for 5 years.
Opening the system interface, he unlocks the skill function. It's about time to unlock this function and he also has quite a bit of point now.
He quickly finds the Wind Movement Technique and upgrades it.
"Ding... Congratulation on upgrading 'Wind Movement' Successfully"
Skill Details
Name: Wind Movement Technique
Level: 5/10
Tier: Gold
.
.
.
The upgraded version has 5 more levels. Beside this, everything else is the same.
He sits down and starts practising the skill.
An hour later... Tian Feng opened his eyes and let out a grin. With this, I would be faster than him. He finally leveled up again after a long time.
He entered the skill menu again but this time he views his self-created skill.
Skill Details
Name: Piecing Bullet
Level: 1/10
Tier: Gold
Effects: Shoot condensed fire Qi at high speed. With each increase in cultivation level, range and power will increase.
Side Effects: Unknown
Tian Feng look at the skill and sigh. "Seem like this skill is not easy to level up at all."
He had used this skill hundreds of times today but it didn't even level up once. Noticing the effect, Tian Feng was a bit perplexed. Increase in cultivation level? Then what is the use of skill level? Could it be that the increase in skill level will add in the effect instead? If that's the case, then it will be great.
But why is it only level one when I'm at Qi level 9? Could it count realm instead? Then wouldn't it take me forever to level up this skill?
If that's indeed the case, there's nothing he can do about it.
He was about to check out his cultivation technique and upgrade it when he recalled something. He wants to find a soul cultivation manual. With this thought in mind, he quickly forgets about upgrading his cultivation technique and proceed to open the system shop.
After looking through the system shop for almost an hour, he finally found a decent soul cultivation with affordable price.
