“Wait! You don’t all have to be so resistant, we can settle this amicably, instructor Phil and Jasper are only trying to help the team progress further,” the Dean pleaded, attempting to find a compromise.
“I understand that as a team, you have the right to voice your concerns about who works with you, however, you need to consider their help, especially Jasper.”“He has a keen eye and can provide valuable analysis and insights on a higher level, allowing you to take advantage of strategic opportunities,” the Dean explained, trying to emphasize the potential benefits of having the Instructors on the team.“If you don’t mind, just let him be part of the team, he won’t interfere too much, but rather offer a few suggestions for the line-up.”“ Now, don’t tell me you’re willing to miss out on these benefits just because an unfamiliar person will be deciding who fights first,” the Dean said, directing his gaze towards Alec.His eyes“Well, I want the corpse of a Peak Tier 6 Demonic beast and any unrefined Tier 5 Spirit metal, I don’t really care about the name or attributes of the unrefined spirit metal as long as it is Tier 5, I will gladly accept it,” Alec stated. The two instructors standing beside the Dean looked at Alec with puzzled expressions.Initially, their minds struggled to comprehend just why Alec would request such items. However, it didn’t take long for them to consider the cost that would be deducted from the newly assigned team fee, causing them to nervously bite their fingernails.“What do you need the corpse of a Tier 6 demonic beast for?” Instructor Phil, who is now responsible for the team’s finances, asked. But before he could say more, the Dean’s raised hand silenced him.“Consider it done already!” the Dean replied with a frown. No matter how hard the Dean also pondered about the matter, he couldn’t understand what Alec wanted with
Terran made his way around the academy, as his gaze landed on a two-story crystal building, as he entered, he couldn’t help but snort in disdain upon seeing the person in charge of the mental cultivation rooms.The War God Mage Academy had two main cultivation buildings, which were the Origin Cultivation Building and the Mental Cultivation Building. Both of them had the potential to enhance the cultivation speed of the mages in the academy, however, there was a significant restriction associated with it, as many mages in the War God Mage Academy still remained unaware of the existence of these cultivation grounds within the academy premises.The reason for this restriction stemmed from the fact that the cultivation rooms relied on power stones obtained from deceased high rank intelligent life forms from the Second Dimension, or natural power stones from the power mines within the second dimension. And obtaining these power stones was no simple
Alec fixed his gaze on the massive demonic beast that was positioned to stare back at him even in its dead state. The hands of time were ticking, with only three hours remaining before midnight, he felt a wave of satisfaction knowing that the Dean had been able to successfully obtained a demonic beast for him.However, as the immense Tier 6 beast lay before him, Alec realized that he had neglected to specify the desired affinity of the creature he wanted, as the reason for requesting a Tier 6 demonic beast was simple, he had been exploring different methods to expedite his journey to the Tier 5 Mage Realm, and he realise he could do that with cultivation pills.But with the responsibility of distributing Tier 5 cultivation pills to his teammates, Alec found himself lacking the resources or Cultivation pills to boost his own cultivation. So he had considered challenging the Tier 6 bosses in the Beast Forest once again, as if he could kill them he wou
Alec’s gaze remained fixed on the miniature soul form of the Golden Horned Drake, which had materialized above the lifeless body. He recognized it as a soul form due to his previous experiences from devouring the souls of shadow wolves from the Beast Forest, and due to witnessing how Oni devoured souls from fallen enemies, so he was somewhat accustomed to the appearance of soul forms. However, he had not expected such a manifestation to emerge from the deceased demonic beast.Alec speculated that this scenario unfolded because the soul had sensed the imminent threat of being devoured and had manifested in a defensive bid. Unfortunately for the soul, it proved unlucky to have cross paths with the Level 2 branch. With a single forceful swat from the wooden hand, the soul form was sent hurtling toward Alec. Reacting instinctively, Alec tapped into the powers of his Devourer Bloodline the moment he sensed the soul hurtling toward him.
Selene realized that she couldn’t change the Dean’s mind-set, so all she could do was hope that Alec would be okay, just as the Dean had mentioned. Even though she couldn’t confront the Dean directly, she redirected her anger towards Phil, fixing him with a stern gaze.“If the Dean didn’t purchase the Tier 6 demonic beast, then why did you restrict the rest of the team from acquiring what they needed? And you also blamed the shortage of funds on Alec’s request for unique and expensive items.” “ Last I recall, the agreement for your involvement in the team was that you would provide them with anything they requested,” Selene confronted Phil, her frustration evident, however, Phil simply shrugged his shoulders in response.“We had to do that in order to make the funds provided by the Dean sufficient,” Phil elaborated, but Selene continued to regard him sceptically.“Come on! You didn’t expect us to purchase cultivation pills for the entire
While the Dean and the instructors were left confused, Alec on the other hand was focused on overlooking his microcosmic universe, having successfully guided the energy flow through his whole body, he moved to his Microcosmic universe to witness the formation of the new Demonic beast soul.Alec floated in his Mana space, his eyes fixed on the gradual construction of the soul form body unfolding before him. Slowly but surely, a smaller version of the Golden Horn Drake materialized, as the formation concluded, its eyes opened, fixating directly on Alec. Astonished by this development, Alec couldn’t help but be taken aback, because unlike the shadow wolf, which had promptly fallen asleep upon its formation, this new soul remained conscious.The Drake unleashed a mighty roar, as it raised its head high , aiming to deliver a powerful impact with its voice. To Alec’s surprise, golden waves radiated outward from the roar, after expressing itself with
The Dean, the two instructors, and Selene all watched Alec in a daze as they saw him levitate slightly in the air, the elemental particles that had been swirling around the air surged into his body with such velocity that they emitted a small flash of light that made all of them raised their hands up to shield their eyes. “What in the gods’ name is happening?” Jasper couldn’t help but exclaim as he witnessed Alec’s breakthrough to the Tier 5 Mage Realm while Alec is still asleep.Everyone in the room was struck with awe, but Selene was the most shocked as she began to question everything she understood about cultivation. She was aware of countless unique methods of cultivation, such as dual cultivation, which involves intimacy, and blood cultivation, which requires extensive killing, which often results in widespread carnage.There were also the methods of assassin cultivation, and each of these unique paths had its own specific practices, how
It was finally the second day, and the highly-anticipated second round fight between Onyx Academy and Gates Academy was about to commence. The instructors were going from room to room, urging all members of the team to assemble and prepare for their Departure.As they were getting ready for the second battle which they were participating in, scheduled to take place in the afternoon, as Selene passed, she banged on Alec’s door and called out to him. “Alec, let’s go!” she exclaimed.Through the locked door, Alec’s muffled voice reached her, “You guys go ahead, I’ll meet up with you all before the second match begins.” Alec said. While Selene wanted to pull him out and have him witness the battle between Onyx Academy and Gates Academy, as their fighting style was somewhat similar to Alec’s own, she decided to respect his request and knew he would keep his word.The team bid their farewells as they passed by Alec’s door.
