The next morning was clear and crisp. The sounds of chirping birds came from the forest like beautiful music.
Morning fog covered the area as fresh air permeated the forest.
Many students had already risen this early in the morning and began training. Lin Lingtian walked along the zigzagged path. Today he had to report to his teachers and he couldn't help wondering what kind of person his teacher would be?
He was only attending this class because he didn't want to spell trouble for Ying Yueru since he was technically in the eyes of the sect her student. Plus he was curious as hell about the style of teaching taught in the Draconic Ruins Realm.
Taking out a scroll , Lin Lingtian read through the Divination technique.
This technique was incredibly hard to learn normally but with Lin Lingtian being a Fateless Entity , he had a very low affinity for the Divination technique but that didn't mean Lin Lingtian was going to give up.
Lin Lingtian followed the map that Ying Yueru had given him and eventually reached a courtyard. At the entrance of this courtyard stood a grey robed expert who barred Lin Lingtian entering as he demanded, "Your name plate !"
Lin Lingtian took out his name plate at the grey robed expert's request.
"Enter, then!" The expert said as he nodded his head.
Lin Lingtian entered as he thought ' This place is really different from our Holy Orchid Institute .'
Upon walking inside, he saw dozens of students who'd gathered in the courtyard, one of which looked a little familiar. It was one of Hua Ling's underlings who'd tested as a 1-grade Heaven Spiritual Root.
It seems that all of the students gathered here have Heaven Spiritual Roots!
When Lin Lingtian walked in, many people turned their attention towards him.
One youth who appeared roughly sixteen or seventeen years old walked over and asked, "Where are you from?"
Lin Lingtian turned his head and glanced at the youth who appeared very conceited in his behaviour as he walked without answering the youth who seemed to have been offending by Lin Lingtian's actions .
Lin Lingtian meanwhile focused more on the Divination technique.
He had planned to refine the technique into something that he can freely use.
"I'm Jin Yan, member of the Divine Feathers Sect's Jin Clan! You dare not answer when I asked you." Jin Yan shouted with a darkened face.
Lin Lingtian didn't even bother glancing at him since he knew very well the no faction would try to offend a genius standing in the neutral zone well according to the words of Ying Yueru who advised him not to join a faction.
A white haired elderly man walked in from outside the courtyard, swept his gaze over each student, and said, "Nice to meet you all, I'm your teacher, Venerable Redsoul. From now on, I'll guide your cultivations. Follow me inside and have a seat!"
Following Venerable Redsoul's lead, they entered a wide training room and sat with their legs crossed. Venerable Redsoul sat on the raised platform meanwhile Lin Lingtian glanced at him and saw through his cultivation.
' Seven stage Heavenly Axis Realm .'
With that Lin Lingtian order his second mind on the refinement of the Divination technique while he partially listened to Venerable Redsoul.
"In our class, we have a total of thirty-six students, all from the new year. Every one of you has extraordinary talent and spiritual roots unattainable for ordinary people. However, I have to make myself clear. Here, you must obey my rules. At the end of the year, the five among you with the highest strengths will have a chance to be sent to the East District. Remember, we're reserving five spots. If you're unable to obtain a place, then I'm very sorry, but you'll have to stay a bit longer in the West District." Venerable Redsoul's gaze swept over everyone as he continued in an imposing tone, "All of you are geniuses and, therefore, none of you here would want to fall behind anyone else. If you're a step behind, then you're behind in every step!"
At Venerable Redsoul's words, everyone looked at each other with a trace of enmity flashing through their eyes except Lin Lingtian who trying to refine the Divination technique.
This was a world that prioritised strength. In a year, only five would be sent to the East District while everyone else would have to wait another year. They couldn't afford to wait for a year!
On the road towards strength, if you lagged a step behind someone, then they'd step on your head to climb further up. Experts definitely won't have a trace of pity for the weak!
Venerable Redsoul's gaze swept over all thirty-six students. Among these thirty-six were people from various cities and the smaller realms. Roughly half of them were from various families within the Divine Feathers Sect, descendents of various clans. There were also some with other considerable backgrounds as well.
However, in this class, Venerable Redsoul still held the absolute authority. Even if he were to punish a few students, the families behind those students wouldn't be able to touch him. As a teacher of the Skysoul Institute, his position was rather high up. His gaze fell on a girl clothed in light blue and was suddenly stunned for a brief moment. He never thought that this girl would also be here.
This girl was extremely beautiful, to the point where she could attract the gaze of others and fix them on herself. However, the expression on her face was very cold and she appeared to carry a faint trace of bloodlust that prevented others from approaching her.
Venerable Redsoul retracted his gaze and slowly said, "All of you are geniuses. Although you've just stepped into the realm of cultivation, all of you possess uncommon talent. The Skysoul Institute forbids internal fights, which I also would not like to see. If you cause too much trouble and injure someone, that'd be equivalent to ruining your prospects. All of you must think clearly about this!" Venerable Redsoul coldly reminded.
On one hand, they intend to pit geniuses against one another. On the other hand, they forbade internal fights. The Skysoul Institute has indeed put a lot of thought into this.
Lin Lingtian meanwhile was so bored that he stopped listening to Venerable Redsoul and focused on everything on the refinement of the Divination Technique.
