Wild Waves City.
In a place thousands of miles away from the ocean, a town was actually named "Wild Waves". It seemed to be a very strange thing.
However, when the passengers got off the crystal train and stood behind the huge glass curtain wall at the exit and looked into the distance, they would discover a surging "ocean".
It was a wasteland that stretched as far as the eye could see. Because of the millions of years of wind, the rocks were blown into layers, rolling into waves one after another. It was like a solidified ocean of weathered rocks.
This ocean of rocks was black and red.
Black was the color of the rocks themselves.
Red was the color of the blood of countless Union Army, cultivators, and demon beasts.
The blood of humans and demon beasts was deeply soaked in the deepest part of the rocks. Even if the rocks were crushed, one could still find specks of scarlet within the black.
Unlike the other towns in the Demon Beast Wasteland, Wild Waves City did not have any military encampments around it, nor did it have any towering walls to protect it.
The humans living here did not need walls because it had been many years since a powerful demon beast had dared to invade this town.
On the contrary, the enemies of Wild Waves City needed the strongest walls. Even so, it would only allow them to live for a few more seconds.
There was nothing that could stop the residents of Wild Waves City. Walls could not, and demon beasts' fangs and carapaces were even more impossible.
This was why Wild Waves City was the Wild Waves City.
This was the location of the Grand Desolate War Institution, the paradise of hot-blooded men!
Li Yao stood behind the huge glass wall at the exit and looked for a long time. His heart was like the weathered rocks of the wasteland outside.
Behind him, there were hundreds of young and hot-blooded youths who had just come down from different trains.
They looked at each other and smiled. Soon, they confirmed each other's identity. Everyone could not help but stick out their chests. It was as if from this moment on, they were an inseparable group.
They were all young people in high spirits. Soon, they became familiar with each other. Soon, chattering noises came from the exit.
"I am from the Chaos Edge Hall. Brother, which student union are you from?"
"Haha. I am also from the Chaos Edge Hall. I have finally found my own family. Looking at your thick arms, I thought you were from the Iron Fist Club! "
"Look, the girl over there has so many tattoos on her body. She's practically tattooed from head to toe. It must be the fault of the person from the Ghost Character. She heard it!"
While eavesdropping on the students' conversation, Li Yao thought about the information he had just learned from the new student handbook.
The predecessor of the Grand Desolate War Institution was a martial arts exchange platform for the various grassroots warriors of the Demon Beast Wasteland. Therefore, the school spirit was free, the school rules were loose, and the students advocated autonomy.
It was not the teachers who controlled each faculty, but the student council. The student council of each faculty had great autonomy. The teachers were only there to provide guidance. As long as the bottom line was not crossed, they would generally not interfere with the student council's operations.
Ironfist Society. Chaos Edge Hall, Ghost Character. The Lancets were the four strongest student unions of the Grand Desolate War Institution.
The Iron Fist Club was a student union for body cultivators. Any student who disdained using weapons and believed that the body was the strongest magical weapon would join the Iron Fist Club. They constantly pushed the limits of the human body, refining the flesh and blood into an indestructible killing machine.
The Chaos Edge Hall was the student union for sword cultivators. All the students who joined the Chaos Edge Hall had excellent skills in using cold weapons. Their dream was to become a first-rate sword immortal.
The Lancets were the student union of the Medical Department.
At first, Li Yao found it very difficult to understand. Why did the Medical Department exist in the Grand Desolate War Institution? Moreover, its level was very high. In the fields of surgery and battlefield first aid, it was even on par with the Empyrean Capital Medical College.
Only after a detailed explanation in the freshman handbook did he understand.
The Grand Desolate War Institution was a martial arts university that specialized in training soldiers. They were passionate about fighting and advocated actual combat.
Of course, in actual combat, one would suffer all kinds of injuries. Sometimes, it was not strange to be injured to the point of being half-dead. Whether it was the members of the Iron Fist Club or the Chaos Edge Hall, they were a group of lunatics who were not afraid of death. Even if they were to face a demon beast that was ten times stronger than them, they would still roar and rush forward without even frowning.
Under such circumstances, the Grand Desolate War Institution had a "Medical Department" that specialized in treating external injuries and was responsible for battlefield first aid.
Through hundreds of years of accumulation and continuous improvement, many seriously injured soldiers who were unable to be treated by the Empyrean Capital Medical College would be sent to the surgical and orthopedic hospitals affiliated with the Medical Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution for treatment.
The doctors here were good at using scalpels refined from willow leaves to perform the most precise operations. Over time, "Willow Leaf Scalpel" became synonymous with the doctors of the Grand Desolate Plateau.
As for the Ghost Character, it was an existence that surprised Li Yao even more than the Willow Leaf Scalpel. It was actually the student union of the Art Department.
Li Yao could not figure out why the Grand Desolate War Institution had an "Art Department". Moreover, its strength was so strong that it was far superior to his beloved "Refining Department".
It was the freshman handbook that revealed the mystery.
In the world of cultivators, there was a very mysterious magical ability called "Spirit Tattoo Technique". It could integrate spirit runes into thousands of patterns and tattoo them on a person's body, allowing the person to possess formidable strength without the need to cultivate.
Cultivators who mastered this magical ability were respectfully called "Spirit Tattoo Masters".
The simplest example was when a Spirit Tattoo Master tattooed a bunch of flames on a cultivator's hand, which contained a mysterious and complex fire array glyph. When the cultivator punched, it would naturally lead to the explosion of flame spiritual energy. There was simply no need for any hand seals, incantations, or any other trigger conditions.
This was just the simplest and most basic application of spirit tattoo.
A true Spirit Tattoo Master could magically draw hundreds of spirit runes on a small tattoo within a square inch. Furthermore, the spirit runes would completely integrate into the bloodline of the tattooed person and become one!
It was conceivable that a Spirit Tattoo Master was simply the strongest assistant of a body practitioner.
A body practitioner whose body was fully tattooed with spirit tattoo was definitely the most terrifying existence on the battlefield. No one knew what kind of terrifying magical ability would evolve after the tattoo and bloodline were integrated!
Take the red-eyed officer that Li Yao had met on the crystal train as an example. He was just a cultivator at the beginning level of the Building Foundation Stage. It was absolutely impossible for him to fly hundreds of meters in an instant.
However, a Spirit Tattoo Master tattooed a pair of light wings on his back, allowing him to overdraft his vitality at the last moment of his life and activate all the magical abilities of the light wings, allowing him to soar into the sky. An incomparably gorgeous blow was launched!
The Art Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution was a place that specialized in training Spirit Tattoo Masters. It was a unique existence in the entire Federation and could even compete with the Sky Fantasia Academy in the same field.
Iron Fist Club, Chaos Edge Hall, and Lancet. Ghost Character... These four Student Unions were the pillars of the Grand Desolate War Institution.
Every year, 80% of the school's education funds and resources would flow into the four Student Unions. The best teachers, venues, and equipment in the school would also be given priority to the four Student Unions.
The remaining pitiful 20% of the resources would be fought over by the other dozen or so ordinary departments.
There were even many radicals who believed that the reason why the Grand Desolate War Institution was at the bottom of the "Nine Elite Universities" was because it was dragged down by the other dozen or so ordinary departments. It would be better to simply cut off all the ordinary departments and keep only the Iron Fist Club, Chaos Edge Hall, Lancet, and Ghost Character. This way, their ranking might even be a bit higher!
"First of all. I want to raise the status of the Refining Department to the same level as the four key departments... "Li Yao pondered.
At this moment, light footsteps came from behind him. A boy with a crew cut asked with a bit of reverence,
"Student, your spiritual energy fluctuations are very strong. Don't tell me... you have already awakened your spirit root and become a cultivator?"
"Wow!"
As soon as these words came out, all the freshmen gathered around and curiously looked at Li Yao.
Everyone had long heard that the "Nine Elite Universities" were full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Geniuses gathered together. They never thought that they would see a living monster even before entering the campus!
Li Yao was somewhat embarrassed by everyone's scorching gazes. He nodded and said, "That's right. However, I have just awakened my spirit root. My level is very low. I am only at the 1st level of the Refinement Stage."
"Just awakened..."
The crew cut boy pondered for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something as his eyebrows jumped up. He let out a strange cry, "Don't tell me you are the monster who awakened his spirit root at the train station and beat the 3rd level Refinement Stage cultivator into a miserable state?"
Li Yao was surprised. He did not expect that this matter had already spread out.
This time, all the freshmen went crazy!
The contest between cultivators would set off surging spiritual energy fluctuations. Ordinary people might not be able to perceive it, but these freshmen were all experts with Actualization Quotients over 80%. Naturally, they could perceive the surging winds.
Therefore, everyone knew that there was a small conflict between two cultivators at the temporary train station.
However, at that time, most of the people were under supervision, so they did not know the details. They only knew that a 1st level Refinement Stage cultivator who had just awakened his spirit chased after a 3rd level Refinement Stage cultivator and beat the 3rd level Refinement Stage cultivator into a pig's head. Moreover, it was the kind of pickled pig's head that had been flattened.
On the train, everyone was discussing spiritedly. This 1st level Refinement Stage cultivator was really too fierce. They did not know where this monster came from.
They did not expect that he was actually a classmate and also a freshman who had just entered the Grand Desolate War Institution!
For a moment, the way everyone looked at Li Yao changed. Envy, worship, fanaticism, fear...
"The Grand Desolate War Institution is worthy of being called the number one combat department university in the Federation. Even such a fierce person chose to enter the Grand Desolate War Institution. I really did not go to the wrong university!"
"Pressure, the pressure is too great. In the future, I will have to study with such a fierce person. How can I compare to him?"
"You think too much, classmate. Such a fierce person would naturally be personally guided by a 'professor'. Ordinary freshmen like us would at most be taught by a 'lecturer'. There is simply no comparison!"
"I wonder if this fierce person is a body refiner or a sword cultivator?"
The face of the boy with the crew cut was filled with worship as he excitedly said, "Classmate, to be able to study with such an expert like you is simply our greatest honor! Do you belong to the Iron Fist Club or the Chaos Edge Hall? "
When these words came out, most of the students quietly divided into two small groups.
Most of the students on the left had glossy skin that reflected a metallic luster. Moreover, their joints were strangely large and their fists were flat. When clenched, they were like warhammers that had been tempered thousands of times.
Most of the students on the right had eyes as sharp as a knife. Their hands were full of calluses, and many of their fingerprints had been polished off. There were also long and short weapons on their waists.
They were the members of the Iron Fist Club and the Chaos Edge Hall respectively.
