"Every month, I can receive an extra Class 1 Monster Core? I can freely enter the first five floors of the library? " Hearing Vice-principal Bai En's words, Jianchen couldn't help but feel strange. Could it be that every student in the academy could receive a Monster Core every month? Moreover, were there any restrictions on entering the academy's library?
After receiving the medal, Jianchen already planned to ask his big brother Changyang Hu in detail when he returned. Although he had been in the academy for three or four days, three of those days were spent in the competition. Moreover, the first day was only half a day, so he didn't know much about the situation in the academy.
After Jianchen left the stage, Tie Ta and Tianmu Bear were also stepped onto the platform to receive their awards. After everything was over, the thousand plus students gathered below the stage gradually dispersed.
"Fourth Brother, you are truly too amazing. You actually obtained first place in the new student competition. If this matter were to be known by father, he would definitely be very happy." On the way back to the dormitory, Changyang Hu excitedly said to Jianchen, his tone extremely excited.
Hearing this, Jianchen faintly smiled, but his mind couldn't help but think of his mother, Bi Yuntian, who had doted on him since he was young.
"If this matter were to be known by mother, I wonder how happy she would be." Jianchen secretly thought in his heart.
Very quickly, Changyang Hu followed Jianchen back to the dormitory together. Just as the dormitory door closed, Changyang Hu impatiently asked, "Fourth Brother, quickly let me see that Class 3 Monster Core."
Seeing that his big brother Changyang Hu's face was still excited, Jianchen faintly smiled. He took out the Class 3 Monster Core from his spatial belt and directly handed it to Changyang Hu.
Changyang Hu stretched out his hand and took the Third Grade Monster Core, turning it over and over in his hand as if he was looking at a new treasure. He clicked his tongue and praised, "Fourth Brother, you're really amazing. You just arrived at the Academy and you already have a Third Grade Monster Core. To think that I, your Big Brother, have been in the Academy for a full two years and have only used a single Third Grade Monster Core, and that was bought with money."
Jianchen chuckled when he heard that, "Big brother, I heard that your Saint Force has already reached the peak of 100% and you're about to break through to the Saint Realm. Take this Class 3 Monster Core." Jianchen did not place much importance on the Tier 3 Magic Core. Although the Tier 3 Magic Core could increase his cultivation speed, Jianchen was confident that even without the Magic Core, his cultivation speed would not be slow.
Changyang Hu was stunned when he heard Jianchen's words. He immediately returned to his senses and shoved the Class 3 Monster Core into Jianchen's hand. He said, "That won't do. Fourth Brother worked so hard to obtain this Class 3 Monster Core. How can I take it?"
Jianchen faintly smiled when he saw the Class 3 Monster Core return to his hand. He also felt some admiration for his big brother's actions. At the very least, he did not have to worry about his big brother making things difficult for him like his third brother did to Changyang Hu.
Jianchen shoved the Class 3 Monster Core back into Changyang Hu's hand and said, "Big brother, you should take this Class 3 Monster Core." This time, Jianchen truly wanted to give the Class 3 Monster Core to Changyang Hu.
"No!" Changyang Hu refused very straightforwardly. Without any hesitation, he forcefully shoved the Class 3 Monster Core into Jianchen's hand and said, "Fourth Brother, keep this Monster Core for yourself. This is your reward for becoming the Newcomer King. It has great significance. I definitely can't take it."
Jianchen had no choice but to take back the Class 3 Monster Core when he saw Changyang Hu's insistence.
Afterwards, Jianchen asked his big brother Changyang Hu about some specific matters in the academy. After six whole hours, Changyang Hu finally explained some of the rules of the academy and the things that Jianchen did not understand in detail. This allowed Jianchen to become more familiar with the Kargath Academy.
First was the principal of the academy. The principal was famous in the academy for being extremely biased towards commoner students. As long as a child of a noble family bullied a commoner student, they would definitely not be able to escape punishment from the principal. As for the conflicts between noble children, the principal would turn a blind eye. As long as it did not cause too big of a commotion, he would not interfere.
In the Kargath Academy, as long as one reached the strength of a Great Saint, one could graduate. After graduating, one could continue to stay in the academy. One could also go to the kingdom to join the army and pledge allegiance to the kingdom through the recommendation of the academy. Moreover, some students with potential would be strongly recommended by the academy and would receive generous treatment in the kingdom.
In the academy, students below the Saint realm could receive a Class 1 Monster Core for cultivation every month. While Saint realm students who had condensed a Holy Weapon could receive a Class 2 Monster Core for cultivation every month. In addition to the Monster Core that was given out every month, students could also go to a forest 20 li away from the academy to hunt Magical Beasts for Monster Cores. Although the forest was not big, it still covered an area of several tens of kilometers. The Magical Beasts inside were all released by the academy. They were all low level Magical Beasts. Moreover, their attack was also the lowest among all the Magical Beasts. It was not easy to kill them.
The academy's purpose of releasing these low level Magical Beasts was to train the students' combat ability and survival ability in the wild. The strongest Magical Beasts were only Class 2. Moreover, most of them were just wild beasts. They had not even reached the strength of Class 1 Magical Beasts. However, once a Class 2 Magical Beast or an extremely powerful Magical Beast appeared, the academy would send experts to kill it to avoid bringing harm to the students.
The forest was divided into three regions. The first region was filled with beasts that hadn't even reached the strength of Class 1 Magical Beasts. The second region was the habitat of Class 1 Magical Beasts, and the third region was filled with Class 2 Magical Beasts. Each area was sealed by a powerful barrier set up by the dean of the academy. There was no need to worry about the Magical Beasts inside escaping.
In the academy, there was also a library. The library was divided into seven floors. There were a large number of books inside. The content was very rich. In addition to the introduction of the continent, there were many secret cultivation books. Students who had not reached the Saint realm could only enter the first two floors of the library. Once they reached the Saint realm and condensed a Holy Weapon, they would have the qualifications to enter the third and fourth floors. Above the fourth floor, only Great Saints or some teachers had the qualifications to enter.
… ….
But when Changyang Hu finished telling Jianchen about some matters in the academy, it was already late at night. Afterwards, Changyang Hu hurriedly left Jianchen's dormitory and ran towards his own dormitory.
At the same time, on the top floor of a tall tower in the center of Kargath Academy, Vice Principal Bai En was respectfully standing in front of an office desk. And opposite him was the dean of Kargath Academy whom Jianchen had met before.
The dean of Kargath Academy stroked the beard on his chin. He looked at Vice Principal Bai En indifferently and said, "Bai En, you said that the Newcomer King who got first place in this year's Freshmen Tournament is a boy called Changyang Shōten?" The dean's voice carried a trace of surprise.
Bai En nodded and said, "Yes, dean. I found that this Changyang Shōten is not simple. With his eighth level Saint Force, he was able to easily defeat a ninth level Saint Force freshman. And his attacks are very sharp and his speed is very fast. He seems to have a lot of battle experience, which is completely different from the strength he should have. Even Tie Ta who was born with divine strength was defeated by him. And he was defeated very miserably, with almost no strength to fight back."
Hearing this, the dean frowned and said, "Bai En, is what you said true? Is Changyang Shōten really that powerful?"
"Dean, what Bai En said is true." Bai En said with a firm tone.
The dean slowly stood up from his chair and murmured, "It seems that Changyang Shōten is even more of a genius than old man Chang said. Without using any heavenly treasures or monster cores, he was able to reach the eighth level of Saint Force at the age of fifteen. Just this point alone is enough to surprise people. And now, he even has a lot of battle experience. This is a bit inconceivable." The dean's voice carried a trace of surprise.
Hearing the dean's murmur, Bai En's face also revealed a trace of surprise. Without using any heavenly treasures or monster cores, Bai En was able to reach eighty percent of Saint Force at the age of fifteen. Even in the entire Gesun Empire, this kind of talent could be considered a genius.
"Dean, it seems that Changyang Shōten's future is limitless." Bai En said with a sigh.
The dean nodded and said, "If he can grow up smoothly, with the talent he has displayed, he will definitely become a powerhouse in the future. It seems that our Kargath Academy has finally produced a powerhouse that can stand on the Tian Yuan Continent. I hope that he can grow up smoothly and not die halfway."
"If he really becomes a powerhouse that can stand on the Tian Yuan Continent, then let alone our academy, even our Kingdom of Gesun's status on the Tian Yuan Continent will increase by quite a bit. Right now, the neighboring countries are becoming more and more unstable. In the next few decades, if our Kingdom of Gesun doesn't produce a powerhouse, I'm afraid that we will be attacked by the neighboring countries sooner or later."
Hearing this, Bai En's face gradually became serious. Although the Kingdom of Gesun was only a small kingdom, it possessed a rich land that was envied by the neighboring countries. If it weren't for the six powerhouses in the kingdom, the neighboring countries would have invaded long ago.
Bai En thought for a moment before carefully asking, "Dean, then should we give Changyang Shōten Class 1 and Class 2 Monster Cores for free to cultivate? We should take advantage of this opportunity to establish a good relationship with him."
Hearing this, the dean pondered for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "That cannot be done. Although absorbing the energy within a Monster Core can increase one's strength quickly, it is not without its drawbacks. Right now, Changyang Shōten is still very young. We cannot let him become addicted to relying on Monster Cores to cultivate. Otherwise, when he reaches a higher level in the future, his foundation will be unstable and it will hinder his future achievements. At his age, he should train more and build a strong foundation for his future."
"Yes, dean. Bai En knows what to do." Bai En did not dare to disobey the dean's words at all. Moreover, the dean's words made a lot of sense.
"Dean, what do you plan on doing with Tie Ta?" Bai En continued to ask.
"Bring Tie Ta to me tomorrow morning. If he's willing, I'll accept him as my disciple," the dean said after some thought.
"Yes, dean!"
After Changyang Hu left, Jianchen sat on his bed and pondered with his head lowered. He digested the information he had just received. Afterwards, he sat on his bed with his legs crossed and held the Class 3 Monster Core in his hand. He attempted to absorb the energy within the Monster Core to cultivate.
The energy within a Monster Core was the essence of every magical beast. Not only was it extremely pure, but it was also extremely powerful. When Jianchen began to absorb the energy from the Monster Core according to Changyang Hu's instructions, he immediately felt an extremely pure and powerful energy radiate from the Monster Core. It slowly flowed into his body through his arm.
Jianchen controlled the energy from the Monster Core to circulate through his body, constantly refining it into his own energy. When the energy had been completely converted into Saint Force, he finally controlled the energy to slowly settle down in his dantian.
Using a Monster Core to cultivate was indeed several times faster than normal cultivation. This was because according to the normal cultivation method, the first step was to absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth and then slowly refine it into one's own energy. However, the speed of absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth was obviously not as fast as directly absorbing the energy from a Monster Core. Moreover, in terms of purity, the energy from a Monster Core could not be compared to the energy from a Monster Core. After all, the energy from a Monster Core was the essence of a Magical Beast. Therefore, directly absorbing the energy from a Monster Core to cultivate was several times faster than normal cultivation. Therefore, in the Tianyuan Continent, a Monster Core was extremely precious, even if it was only a Class 1 Monster Core.
Multicolored rays of light slowly appeared from the horizon. The fiery red sun finally struggled to climb into the sky, emitting a warm and gentle sunlight. The golden sunlight emitted a dazzling radiance that illuminated the earth. It was as if the entire ground was covered in a layer of golden carpet.
At the same time, Jianchen, who was sitting cross-legged on his bed, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with joy and a faint smile appeared on his face. After a night of cultivation, Jianchen's harvest was extremely great. It was already comparable to several days of cultivation. Through absorbing the energy from the Monster Core, Jianchen's cultivation speed was actually ten times faster than normal. He could clearly feel that the Saint Force in his body had strengthened by a lot. According to his estimation, he was not far away from the ninth layer of Saint Force. At this speed, he would be able to successfully reach the ninth layer of Saint Force in at most a week.
Of course, this was only Jianchen's estimation. He would have to test it to know the specifics.
If others knew that Jianchen's absorption of energy from the Monster Core was ten times faster than normal, they would definitely be shocked. Although the Monster Core could greatly increase one's cultivation speed, it was far from ten times. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would only be able to cultivate two or three times faster with the help of the Monster Core. Even some powerful people would only be able to cultivate six or seven times faster with the help of the Monster Core. However, Jianchen had not even reached the Saint level yet, but his absorption of the Monster Core was already ten times faster. This was definitely a very terrifying speed.
Looking at the Monster Core in his hand, although the color of the Monster Core did not change at all, Jianchen could clearly feel that the Monster Core in his hand had shrunk.
