Chapter 92: Mission Selection and Training (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
What happened on the day of the new students’ registration day quickly spread throughout the entire Nine Yang Academy like a hurricane. As expected, it caused a huge uproar.
Ever since the establishment of the Nine Yang Academy, this was the first time the senior students had lost to the new students in the guided battle.
It was the first time a new student had defeated two Long Breath Stage disciples in a row.
It was also the first time a new student had become a Black-rank disciple as soon as he entered the academy!
Lin Shen had set many unprecedented records at once.
Originally, Lin Shen was already quite famous in the Nine Yang Academy because he was the first top new student who didn’t come from an influential family.
Now, after this battle, his reputation skyrocketed. He had become an influential figure in the Nine Yang Academy!
However, at the same time, many people were very dissatisfied with Lin Shen’s exceptional promotion to a Black-rank disciple.
If the order hadn’t come from Si Yuanpei, there would have been a commotion among the disciples.
Although no one dared to protest openly, many Yellow-rank disciples were already planning secretly, preparing to challenge Lin Shen in the rank challenge three months later and snatch his Black-rank disciple spot.
After all, no matter how powerful a new student was, they were only new students.
Lin Shen was only at the first level of the Long Breath Stage. Wouldn’t it be a waste not to crush such an easy target?
Just as the commotion spread, Lin Shen, the person involved, paid no attention to the outside world and was completely immersed in cultivation.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: God’s Jealousy]
[Stage: Long Breath Level 2, 82%]
[Cultivation techniques: Golden Crow Scripture (Proficient 5%), Blazing Sun Palm (Perfection), Shadows (Perfection), Meltdown (Proficient 76%), Dragon Roar Through the Clouds (Proficient 54%), Forbidden Golden Armor (Proficient 45%), Mortal Restrain (Proficient
12%)]
[Number of clones: 5 (20%)]
After cultivating for ten days, not only did Lin Shen successfully break through to the second level of the Long Breath Stage, but he also successfully advanced the Golden Crow Scripture to Proficient.
The other martial techniques had also improved to varying degrees.
Forbidden Golden Armor had even broken through to Proficient with the help of the Mystic Bone Liquid!
Moreover, the progress of the martial technique has almost reached 50%!
“The Mystic Bone Liquid is really useful. Unfortunately, there are only five drops.
“I think I can exchange it in the Merit Hall.”
Lin Shen recalled that Mystic Bone Liquid cost 20 merit points per drop.
He estimated that if he had another 20 to 30 drops of Mystic Bone Liquid, he should be able to cultivate the Forbidden Golden Armor to Perfection in a month.
However, after thinking about it, Lin Shen finally gave up on this tempting idea.
Currently, there were still many things that required merit points. He couldn’t spend them on exchanging for the Mystic Bone Liquid.
After all, even without the Mystic Bone Liquid, Forbidden Golden Armor could still reach Perfection. It would only take more time.
Moreover, he still had the talent of Testify by Killing to quickly increase his martial arts stage.
“After breaking through to the second level of the Long Breath Stage, the effect of the Condensing Pill has also decreased.
“A Condensing Pill can only increase my cultivation progress by 2%. It looks like the pill will become useless before I reach the fifth level of the Long Breath Stage.”
Lin Shen recalled another pill he had seen in the Merit Hall: the Prime Pill.
It was a precious pill that was more effective than the Condensing Pill and was also suitable for Long Breath Stage cultivators to assist in their cultivation.
However, the price was also shockingly high. 50 merit points could only be exchanged for one pill. It was more than ten times more expensive than the Condensing Pill!
With his current wealth, he couldn’t afford it for the time being.
Shaking his head, Lin Shen got up and left the wooden building, preparing to fill his stomach first.
To make it easier for the disciples to eat, there were many canteens in the Nine Yang Academy.
One of them happened to be near the residential area.
The canteen offered a wide variety of food. It was delicious and, more importantly, free.
The meat was freely provided to the disciples.
Of course, it was only limited to ordinary meat.
If one wanted to eat spirit beast meat, one would have to pay with merit points.
In fact, the canteen could even provide demon beast meat with more energy. Even for Long Breath Stage cultivators, it had extraordinary effects and could strengthen the spiritual essence.
However, the price was dozens or hundreds of merit points per kilo, and it had stopped many disciples.
After breaking through to the Long Breath Stage, no matter how much ordinary meat Lin Shen ate, he could only fill his stomach.
If he wanted to increase his cultivation efficiency, he had to at least eat spirit beast meat.
Therefore, he had spent a lot of merit points on buying spirit beast meat over the past few days.
After 10 days, Lin Shen only had three minor merits left, and his merit points had long been used up.
“I have to accept a few missions. Otherwise, I’ll be left empty-handed.”
After dinner, Lin Shen didn’t go to the Merit Hall. Instead, he rushed to the Internal Affairs Department.
As soon as he stepped into the Internal Affairs Department, he bumped into a young man.
When the other party saw Lin Shen, he was stunned at first. Then, he looked pleasantly surprised and welcomed Lin Shen.
“Senior Brother Lin, what brings you to the Internal Affairs Department?”
Lin Shen was stunned. “Do you know me?”
“Of course!” The young man rubbed his hands and chuckled. “Senior Brother Lin is now a famous figure in the academy. Everyone in the academy knows you. Who wouldn’t recognize you?”
Lin Shen wasn’t used to being respectfully addressed as Senior Brother by someone who was obviously much older than him. He casually exchanged a few pleasantries and expressed his intentions.
“Master Tao? I think he’s inside. Senior Brother Lin, wait a moment. I’ll tell Master Tao now!”
After saying that, the young man left in a hurry. He didn’t even say his name.
Lin Shen couldn’t help but laugh.
After a moment, Tao Zongbao strode over and cupped his hands at Lin Shen with a smile from seven to eight meters away..
