"Seems like enrolling into the academy doesn't mean that everything is fine."
The life experience of Qin Yi's two lives combined made him more mature than the average teenager in looking at problems.
The current Qin Yi didn't lack passion. However, in order to survive and develop in such an environment, on top of passion, one had to possess a heart as firm as a boulder.
Perhaps, this was the viciousness that Chen Tingwei spoke of.
"Elder Ke, Ouyang Hong..."
Qin Yi clicked his tongue. He didn't think that he would incur the hatred of an influential figure in the academy while he was still on his way to the academy.
As a new student, it was impossible for him to offend the upper echelon of the academy, Elder Ke.
The reason why Elder Ke was targeting him was because he was a pretext to go against Elder Shao.
In other words, to a certain extent, Qin Yi was implicated.
However, Zhang Xuan didn't feel that he was innocent. There were no two sides in the world. Where there was gain, there would be loss.
He was able to win the favor of Elder Shao, forcing Elder Shao to sacrifice two years' worth of contribution points in exchange for a spot in the academy.
That was gain.
On the other hand, if he were to win the favor of Elder Shao, he would incur the hatred of Elder Ke.
That was loss!
"Senior Brother Tingwei's advice is very reasonable. Become stronger, stronger, and stronger — this is Yin Yang Academy's eternal philosophy of survival!"
Perhaps, it wasn't just in Yin-Yang Academy, but in the entire world as well.
It was the same in both his previous and current lives!
These trivial matters didn't affect Qin Yi's mood at all.
A moment later, Qin Yi returned to his cave and began his first cultivation session in Yin-Yang Academy.
The reason why he was able to successfully reach Transcendent Mortal Tier 5 was due to the long-term effects of the Spring Dragon Pill and the unique enhancement from the mysterious painting.
But now, the Minor Burning Art was clearly not enough, especially in an environment like the Yin-Yang Academy where spiritual energy was abundant. The Minor Burning Art, a Lower Grade Mortal Level cultivation technique, was even more shabby.
"Perhaps, among the hundred or so new students, my cultivation method is the most wretched and of the lowest level?" Qin Yi thought self-deprecatingly.
Although the mysterious painting had upgraded the , there was still a limit to Mortal Level Low Grade Cultivation Techniques.
Now, he had reached his limit. The Lesser Flame Art was practically useless to Qin Yi's cultivation.
Fortunately, the long-term effects of the Leap Dragon Pill were still present, and the mysterious scroll was tirelessly transforming his body. This allowed Qin Yi to improve a little even without any cultivation technique.
However, this improvement was not enough to satisfy Qin Yi.
"I still need to advance my cultivation method! Only by combining the advanced cultivation technique with these favorable conditions could one's cultivation advance by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, whether it's the mysterious painting, the Leap Dragon Pill, or this cave with abundant spiritual energy, it's all a waste … "
If the mysterious painting and the Leap Dragon Pill could be compared to a treasure trove in Qin Yi's body, then the advanced cultivation technique would be the key to open the treasure trove.
Without the key to open the treasure trove, he would not be able to use the resources inside. Just relying on some of the resources from the treasure trove to slip through the cracks of the door was clearly not enough.
The first night of entering the Yin-Yang Academy was surprisingly peaceful.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was bright.
Recovering from his cultivation, Qin Yi stretched out his body. He lazily walked out of the courtyard. The mountain was covered with a dreamy layer of morning mist. Accompanied by the melody of the rustling leaves in the forest, the morning sun tried its best to penetrate the morning mist, through the shade of the trees, and landed in the courtyard in spots.
Qin Yi wandered around the mountain for a while.
Suddenly, he heard the melodious sound of the morning bell. The rhythm was clear, and it rang seven times.
"Seven rings of the morning bell. This is the signal to summon the students of the Radiant Dawn Pavilion."
Although Qin Yi had only arrived yesterday, he was very familiar with the rules of the Yin-Yang Academy. This was especially true with people like Elder Ke and Ouyang Hong watching him from the shadows. They could make things difficult for him at any time. This spurred Qin Yi to be more careful and understand the various rules of the Academy so that others wouldn't be able to use him against him.
Qin Yi didn't linger. He left the cave and walked toward the main hall of the Radiant Dawn Pavilion.
As he neared the main hall of the Radiant Dawn Pavilion, more and more figures appeared along the way. Many people that looked familiar also appeared.
Qin Yi knew that these fellow disciples were probably from the Azure Net Nation.
They had interacted with the previous Qin Yi, or at the very least, they knew each other.
Suddenly, Qin Yi felt a strange gaze from his left. Glancing over, he saw a familiar face appear in his field of vision.
A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Qin Yi's mouth.
That person's face was still faintly discernible, and he stumbled as he walked. He looked dispirited and weak. It was Shi Kun, whom he had beaten up in the past.
However, Shi Kun's gaze was fixed on Qin Yi, a venomous hatred flashing in his eyes.
"Brother Jin, it's this bastard!"
Beside Shi Kun was a young man who looked somewhat similar to Shi Kun, but he was clearly several years older. His eyes were dark and fierce as he sized up Qin Yi.
Shi Kun didn't deliberately suppress his hatred, so his words were heard clearly by Qin Yi.
His footsteps paused, and Qin Yi's gaze was piercingly cold as he sneered, "Shi Kun, I spared your dog life last time, but it seems you haven't learned your lesson?"
Shi Kun's hateful gaze contained a hint of madness as he said viciously, "Little bastard, I was careless last time and fell into your trap! Let's see how long you can be arrogant when we reach the Yin-Yang Academy! "
Qin Yi smiled indifferently, "If I can be arrogant in front of you once, Shi Kun, I can be arrogant in front of you a hundred times. What can you do to me if you're so flustered and exasperated? "
Then, he glanced at the young man beside Shi Kun, and a hint of disdain appeared in his cold eyes. "You lost a fight, and now you're crying and going home to find help?"
Shi Kun couldn't beat Qin Yi in a fight, and he was far from being able to bicker with him. He was so angry that his face was pale, and he panted heavily. He wanted nothing more than to pounce over and bite him.
At this time, the young man beside Shi Kun stared at Qin Yi viciously and said in a low voice, "Young man, don't be too arrogant, or you won't live long."
This person's appearance was similar to Shi Kun's, so he must be someone from Shi Kun's clan. Since that was the case, it was impossible to turn enemies into friends.
Therefore, there was no need for Qin Yi to be polite to this kind of person.
"No one can say for sure how long a person can live. But I, Qin Mo, will definitely live longer than you. I'm very sure of this. "
After saying this, Qin Yi smiled disdainfully and walked away.
Facing Qin Yi's back, the young man from the Shi Clan said in a serious tone, "Kid, remember, my name is Shi Jin. As long as you're in the Yin-Yang Academy, I'll let you understand what a nightmare it is to offend me! "
Qin Yi was infuriated, but he restrained himself.
This Shi Jin could use Voice Transmission, so his cultivation was definitely much higher than Qin Yi's.
It wasn't a smart choice to turn hostile against such an opponent.
"Shi Jin! You Shi Clan people are really like ghosts that won't go away. One day, I'll make your Shi Clan regret your ignorance, regret that you provoked me! "
