Jianchen looked at the sky outside the window. The sun was already high up in the sky and it was getting late.
Today was a special day for Kargath Academy, because today, Kargath Academy would be holding a large-scale activity. All the teachers and students of the academy had to participate, and the activity was called 'Wilderness Survival Battle'. All the students had to go to a small forest twenty miles away from Kargath Academy and stay there for three days. Students who had yet to reach the Saint realm had to obtain at least two rank 1 Monster Cores in these three days to pass the test, and students who had reached the Saint realm had to obtain at least two rank 2 Monster Cores in order to pass the test. There was no limit to the number of Monster Cores that could be handed in, but the student who handed in the most Monster Cores would receive a very rich reward, a rank 4 Earth Monster Core and a spatial ring.
Even in the eyes of the rich children of large clans, such a rich reward was enough to move them.
At the same time, all the students who passed would be able to read various books on Battle Skills and cultivation methods on the fourth floor of the library. This reward was even more attractive to the students who came from ordinary families.
Battle Skills were battle skills that could unleash powerful attacks. Through the unique use of Saint Force, one could unleash 120% of one's strength, or even unleash powerful attacks that completely exceeded one's own strength.
Cultivation methods could only be used by Saints. Some commoner families did not even have the lowest level of cultivation methods. The children of commoner families basically relied on the most shallow breathing method to cultivate Saint Force. This breathing method was spread to every corner of the continent and its contents were extremely simple. Almost every commoner knew its contents. The only flaw was that this breathing method could only allow one to cultivate Saint Force to the tenth layer. It was completely useless to those who had already reached the Saint realm. Therefore, in the eyes of those students who were born in commoner families, a combat skill and cultivation method was already a rare treasure.
On the Tian Yuan Continent, all Battle Skills and cultivation methods were divided into four grades, which were the Saint Tier, Heaven Tier, Earth Tier, and Human Tier. Each grade was further divided into elementary, intermediate, and advanced grades.
After leaving the dormitory, Jianchen headed straight for the field. The activity this time had been announced three days ago. After three days, almost all the students had finished their preparations and adjusted their strength to their peak.
When Jianchen arrived at the field, it was already filled with people. However, it was very clear that they were divided into two camps. One camp was made up of all the rich children, while the other camp was made up of commoners without any background.
All the students who had not reached the Saint realm held a weapon that shone with a cold light in their hands. Because they were going to fight against the magical beasts, the academy allowed them to choose a defensive weapon of their own.
Jianchen went straight to the weapon rack, but when he saw the few remaining weapons, he could not help but frown slightly. Almost all the good weapons had been chosen by the students in front of him. The remaining weapons were either inferior or heavy weapons that required brute force to wield. They were not suitable for him at all.
His gaze slowly swept across the weapon rack. When Jianchen found a broken iron rod that was as thick as a finger, his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately reached out and pulled it out with difficulty. The iron rod was about one meter long and as thick as a finger. It was covered in brownish yellow rust and had a very sharp tip on one end.
Jianchen weighed the rusty iron rod in his hand and then tested its hardness. Only then did he nod in satisfaction. Although it was inconvenient to hold the iron rod, its weight and length were just right for Jianchen to use. Among the remaining weapons, this iron rod was undoubtedly the only one that could allow Jianchen to exert as much of his strength as possible.
At this moment, Tie Ta walked out of the crowd. He was carrying a huge axe that was slightly larger than his body on his back. He looked even more majestic now.
Tie Ta walked up to Jianchen. When his gaze fell on the rusty iron rod in Jianchen's hand, he could not help but show a trace of doubt in his eyes. He asked in confusion, "Hey, Changyang Shōten, what are you doing with this iron rod?"
Jianchen chuckled, "What else can it be? Obviously it's a weapon."
"No way, Changyang Shōten, you're actually using this broken iron rod as a weapon? I- i- is there something wrong with your head?" Tie Ta was shocked.
Jian Chen gently chuckled and did not explain any further.
Although Tie Ta was very confused by Jianchen's use of a broken iron rod as a weapon, he did not dwell on the matter. He continued, "Changyang Shōten, why don't we fight together? If we work together, there won't be a single Class 1 Magical Beast that can threaten us. We can even kill Class 2 Magical Beasts that are stronger than us. Moreover, I've been fighting with wild beasts in the forest since I was young, so I've gradually gained some experience in surviving in the wild. You'll definitely suffer a lot less if you're with me."
With that, Jianchen pondered slightly before nodding in agreement to Tie Ta's suggestion. The academy did not forbid students from gathering in groups of three or five to hunt magical beasts, so most students were allowed to travel in groups of three or five.
At this moment, a handsome and arrogant rich man arrived before Tie Ta. He smiled and said, "Hello Tie Ta, I'm Seumis, at the peak of the Tenth Layer of Saint Force. Why don't we work together? I believe that if we work together, it'll be easier for us to kill magical beasts."
Tie Ta glanced at Seumis before shaking his head, "No need. Changyang Shōten and I are enough. We don't need anyone else."
Seumis was not discouraged at all by Tie Ta's rejection. He turned to Jianchen and immediately became rather arrogant. He said, "You must be Changyang Shōten, the fourth young master of Changyang Prefecture in Lore City. Hehe, you really are a talent. Changyang Shōten, I'm from the Seumis clan in the Forbidden City. My father is the patriarch of the Seumis clan. May I ask if junior Changyang Shōten would be happy to have me join your group?" Although Seumis's words could be considered polite, his tone faintly carried a hint of coercion.
The Forbidden City was a royal city, but for the Kingdom of Gesun, the Forbidden City was an imperial city because the royal palace was located in the Forbidden City.
Hearing Seumis' threatening tone, Jianchen frowned. He glanced at Seumis' handsome face and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, but we don't need anyone to join us. After all, we're facing a rank 1 magical beast. We don't have the time to take care of others."
Hearing this, Seumis' face turned dark. Jianchen's words clearly showed that he looked down on his strength.
Seumis' face was gloomy. He glared fiercely at Jianchen's calm face, then snorted coldly and left.
After Seumis left, many people with extraordinary identities came one after another. These people either greeted Tie Ta or wanted to join Tie Ta's team. However, they were all rejected by Tie Ta. Tie Ta didn't have a good impression of these people and didn't want to say a word to them.
After everyone left, a burly young man, not much smaller than Tie Ta, walked over from the distance with three students in their twenties. They arrived in front of Jianchen and patted Jianchen's shoulder. He laughed and said, "Fourth Brother, you're now famous in the academy. In our Kargath Academy, there's probably no one who doesn't know your name. Not bad, not bad. You didn't lose face for our Changyang Prefecture and let Big Brother share a lot of glory with you." The burly young man was Jianchen's big brother, Changyang Hu. At this moment, Changyang Hu's face was filled with a happy smile. That excitement came from the bottom of his heart.
A smile appeared on Jian Chen's face. "Big Brother, don't make fun of me. Right, you came at the right time. Why don't we travel together this time?"
Changyang Hu shook his head. He seemed to have thought of something and smiled happily, "Fourth Brother, if you said this to me seven days ago, I might have been happy to go with you. But now, I can't. Seven days ago, I finally condensed a Saint Weapon and became a Saint. This time, we're going to enter the third level of the forest to hunt Class 2 Magical Beasts, so I can't go with you." As he spoke, powerful Saint Force surged out of Changyang Hu's body. With a flash of yellow light, a huge double-edged axe appeared in Changyang Hu's hand. The axe was extremely large, even larger than a washbasin. The entire axe shined with a yellow light.
"Fourth Brother, not bad, right? After condensing a Saint Weapon, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my Saint Force was actually of the earth attribute." Changyang Hu was very proud of himself. A battle between a Saint Weapon with an elemental attribute and a Saint Weapon without an elemental attribute would usually result in an extremely large advantage. If two people of similar strength were to fight, the person with the elemental attribute would almost always be the final victor if nothing unexpected happened.
Everyone could only discover the attribute of Saint Force after condensing a Saint Weapon. As a result, it was very difficult to discover the attribute of Saint Force before becoming a Saint. However, the chances of having Saint Force with an attribute were extremely low. On average, only one in a thousand people would have a Saint Weapon with an attribute.
Kargath Academy was basically filled with the students with the most potential in the entire Kingdom of Gesun, so it was very normal for there to be many students with an attribute of Saint Force.
Looking at the double-edged axe in Changyang Hu's hand, Jianchen couldn't help but smile happily, "Big Brother, congratulations on condensing a Saint Weapon and becoming a Saint Weapon with an attribute."
Changyang Hu was extremely happy. He extended his hand and pointed at the young men who had come with him, "Oh right, fourth brother, let me introduce you. They're the more outstanding ones among my direct descendants. They're Changyang Aojian, Changyang Feng, and Changyang Xiaotian."
"We greet the fourth young master!" The three young men all bowed towards Jianchen. They were extremely respectful. The hierarchy in Changyang Prefecture was extremely strict, so even though they were direct descendants of Changyang Prefecture, their status was slightly lower than Jianchen's. Even though many of them were older than Jianchen, they still treated Jianchen with respect.
Moreover, the three of them didn't feel the slightest bit of injustice towards Jianchen who was slightly younger than them. Instead, they were filled with pride. This was because Jianchen had used only eighty percent of his Saint Force to defeat Saint Ka Diyun who didn't use a Saint Weapon. It was the same as when he fought Luo Jian empty-handed a few months ago. In the end, he even forced Luo Jian to use his Saint Weapon. Jianchen's achievements caused all the teachers and students in Kargath Academy to sigh in admiration.
