Proofreader: Prof. Zhu Yuan
Dead silence reigned the whole cla.s.s, and many students still felt astonished. It was incredible that Qian Lin had just taken the potion to stimulate his potential, which caused his strength to soar suddenly, and they considered that Dao Ling would be killed.
However, the result shocked them. Dao Ling seemed to inherit the power of G.o.d, standing still, and blew Qian Lin out.
Someone gulped shockingly for what happened there. Ye Yun"s long eyelashes trembled, and she and the vice dean looked at each other. They were shocked because they all had felt a burst of blood power.
In this world, only those extremely powerful characters could possess such billowy blood power. If they released this power, it would crush mountains!
Such people were terrible and invincible. If someone, in his young age, could forge his physical body into such a level that his blood power inside could injure opponents, he must have great potential to become the strong.
"Prodigy." The vice dean took a deep breath, and gazed at Dao Ling"s calm face with his blazing eyes. He couldn"t stop whispering in his mind, "His achievements in the future would be great if he can have several years to practice and improve..."
He was very far-sight, and he had found that Dao Ling"s potential was very promising and far beyond w.a.n.g Ling"s. As long as this boy would not be killed in the future, he definitely could make a name in Qingzhou City.
"Ow!" Qian Lin moaned with fear, and felt that his body was about to shatter. His whole body felt like a lump of mud, and he couldn"t even stand up.
"Dao Ling!" He was furious, and glared at him coldly. His face twisted, releasing a bitter chill, but he was ashamed to be here at this moment.
Dao Ling looked up, and cast a calm glance to him, which made him shivered and felt like facing a powerful scary beast.
He didn"t care about Qian Lin, because their fight enlightened him a little. He was aware that there were waves of blood power in his body, and each one was like a wild horse which exhausted him.
He frowned slightly, "It must be the sequela. I need to figure out a way to practice my body; otherwise there will be a big trouble." Although his blood power was outstanding, he noticed that he could not control the energy inside, for he strengthened his power too fast recently.
Normally, a man needed to forge his physical body for about two years in the realm of Body Forging, so that he could build a solid foundation. But as for Dao Ling, he only spent just a half month, resulting in an unstable foundation.
"The Heaven Devouring is really awesome. But if I don"t pay attention to my foundation, I will be devoured by it!" He clicked his tongue, and thought about finding a way to deal with the sequela.
Everybody was terrified, and couldn"t help crying in their mind, "Is he still the "Morpheus"?" They were regretful so much for they had bullied him a lot before. But now he had become terribly powerful. Would he revenge himself on them some day?
"Professor Ye, you are so lucky to find such an genius." The vice dean looked at her with smile, and thought she was much too lucky.
"I am a bit surprised too." Her smile looked charming, her teeth were white and bright, and her brows were decorated with joy. The whole event shocked her, after all it was beyond her expectation.
"Maybe he could leave a name on the Small Martial Art Stone Tablet..." Her slender palm was slightly grasped, and her beautiful eyes blinked.
Hearing her whisper, the vice dean rolled his eyes and snorted, "Professor Ye, you are still naive. Although your practice level is higher, you know nothing about the Small Martial Art Stone Tablet."
Actually, what he implied was, "You are not qualified to guide such a prodigy." After all, this stone tablet was used to test the realm of the Body Forging, and only the geniuses were qualified to leave their names on it so that the younger generations could worship them.
Ye Yun"s eyelids also twitched, and she was also frighted by her idea. The names on the tablet belonged to the great talents, and if Dao Ling was that kind of genius, he would have been accepted by the powerful forces rather than nesting in such a small place. Even the No.1 genius in Qingzhou City were not able to come in the top 100, so it was extremely difficult for these students.
She also knew it for sure that the stone tablet had stood in this city for years and years, and there were countless geniuses in all ages, but only few of them could leave their names on it.
So, leaving a name on this tablet was a totally unbelievable event.
"But he can still rise up in such a place, I believe his future will be promising." Ye Yun admired, and let her eyes settle upon Dao Ling.
"Sure, students here definitely pale beside the geniuses in other famous families. After all, they frequently improve their bodies by using the precious treasures. Even the blood of Ferocious Primitive Beasts, are also tempered into rare potion to strengthen their power." The vice dean smacked his lips, "All of these terrible geniuses are invincible in each continent, and have extraordinary power!"
He also signed, "Those geniuses also have the strength from their clans to protect them during their adventures and practicing. As for Dao Ling, he is far from being comparable to them. The gap between them is so wide, like sky and earth."
Watching the vice dean depart, Ye Yun turned her charming eyes on Dao Ling, and smiled, "Come with me now."
Her words made other students very jealous, because this was the first time they had seen that Ye Yun spoke to someone with a smile and asked him to follow.
Qian Lin went deadly pale, fear spreading in his eyes, and he felt terrible that his power seemed to be abolished...
"My power!" He tried to restore his inside energy, but only found that his every inch of muscle was sharply painful, which was almost scared him to death -- he could not restore his power.
"Dao Ling, I will kill you! No one can save you, no one!" Qian Lin clenched his teeth and shouted in rage. He limped home with his eyes b.l.o.o.d.y red like a beast"s.
Dao Ling followed Ye Yun out, and they walked to a path paved by blue stone. Looking at her white face, he couldn"t help asking, "Professor Ye, what do you want me to do?"
Hearing this, she looked at him with a faint smile, "Dao Ling, you hide so deep that I was even deceived. Is it very funny?"
Her last words frightened him, and he replied quickly, "Of course not, Professor! I really dare not deceive you! I just broke through my level these days."
She rolled her eyes at him. He could break up his level in several days? That was impossible! She mused for a moment and said, "It is none of my business that you hide your strength, and I will not ask you that again. But there are only five days before the entrance test of Xingchen Academy, and are you sure you will pa.s.s it?"
"Let"s see it later." He said, scratching his head.
"What do you mean?" She shook her head, and said, "The Xingchen Academy is a great force in Qingzhou City. If you cannot join it, there are still many other academies for you. But, they are much weaker than the Xingchen Academy. In this world, a lot of resources are held by those great powers, but you have neither power nor wealthy family. So only by joining the great forces can you be qualified to stand higher and go further."
She was very clear that in such a big world, only the strong could climb higher and made great achievements, and others were doomed to mediocrity. Especially for people like Dao Ling, it was too difficult for him to make a name, because the genius was more likely to die, particularly in the world with a strict hierarchical structure. There were too many strong people around, and Dao Ling was not even as good as an ant in their eyes.
"Since I have successfully registered, I think it will not be very hard for me to join the academy." Dao Ling said so, and he definitely desired to join this academy. It was said that there were lots of prodigies, as well as various martial arts, and the academy would give out resources for students to improve their practice every month. Everyone was eager to join it.
"It is hard to say. Every year during the admission season, there are often more than one hundred thousand students coming to the Xingchen academy, but it only recruits one thousand students."
Hearing that, Dao Ling"s young face grew stiff, and his throat bobbed, "One hundred thousand? How is that possible?"
"You still don"t know much about the world. How many students in this small Qingshan Academy? You will understand what I said in the future." Ye Yun grinned, "This world is big, Qingzhou City is big too, and there are lots of geniuses in it. Don"t feel c.o.c.ky for possessing the power of thirty or forty thousand kilograms in the realm of Body Forging. The realm of Body Forging is the first realm you may go through, and the realm of Spirit Rhyming is the real beginning."
Dao Ling was shocked. It was the first time he heard about these things. He had never thought that there would be one hundred thousand students to partic.i.p.ate in the admission process. It was so difficult, after all, only one thousand students could win out.
At this moment, the two came to an exquisite yard. Dao Ling looked around, and thought it must be the place where Ye Yun lived.
Entering the inner room, she smiled, "I found your energy inside was a little bit violent just now. You may have met some trouble during your practice, haven"t you?"
"Exactly, professor!" Dao Ling simpered, and wondered why she brought him here.
"Do you want to control your energy freely?" She gave a little chuckle.
He nodded quickly, but had an ominous hunch suddenly when he saw Ye Yun"s smile.
She chuckled, and sat in the room, looking mischievously, "Let me help you out..."
