I Have A Cultivation World

Wang Yuanwu hesitated for a moment. He thought about how Chen Mobai is a mainstay in his team and has been a lot of help recently. Considering Chen Mobai’s age and realm, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to become a true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. So, befriending him would not be a bad idea. As a result, Chen Mobai returned the Spirit Stones he had received from Wang Yuanwu over the ten days back to him and received Wang Yuanwu’s treasured “Red Blaze Triple Sword Talisman”.

“Chen, return safely.”

Qi Rui, who was standing nearby, said with a chuckle.

Shi Pengyi also greeted Chen Mobai with a respectful fist-and-palm salute. Although he didn’t say anything, his intention was the same.

When Chen Mobai returned to his rented wooden hut, he discovered that his one-month lease was up. But, because of the Island Defense War, the Divine Wood Sect had extended the leases for all Loose Cultivators who responded to their call for another month, free of charge.

He opened the cover of the underground tunnel under the bed and climbed down.

With a flash of silvery light, he returned to his long-missed home.

After tidying up his clothes, Chen Mobai pushed open the door of his house and headed to school.

As he was walking, his phone, connected to Doyuan Star’s signal, showed a continuous flow of incoming texts.

There were messages from his mother, Tang Panchui and Qing Nu.

There was also a message from Song Zheng. He had attended two training classes organized by the school but felt there was little improvement. Because he had not run into Chen Mobai these two times, he asked if there were any external training classes that were good for practical Magic Duel effectiveness. After seeing this, Chen Mobai replied, stating that external training classes were no better than the ones organized by the school principal.

In the end, he saw a text from Yan Bingxuan.

She asked him where he got the fish they had last time as she wanted to buy a couple online.

Chen Mobai could only say that the fish were from an old spring in a cold pool in the mountains where his mother lived, and that she wouldn’t be able to buy them online. He promised to bring her a couple more next time he could.

After calling his mother, Tang Panchui, to reassure her, Chen Mobai arrived at the school.

Classroom 203.

By the time Chen Mobai walked in, half of the people had arrived.

“Over here!”

Class monitor Mo Simin seemed to have forgotten about the previous incident as she waved enthusiastically at Chen Mobai.

Song Zheng was sitting in the row in front of her. When he saw Chen Mobai coming over, he lifted his eyelids slightly and gave a small nod, a form of greeting.

“Yan Bingxuan didn’t come?”

After sitting down, Chen Mobai asked casually.

“She’s already been recommended for admission, so it doesn’t matter whether she participates in the Magic Duel or not. She said that instead of spending time on this, she should cultivate more and increase her Ice Spirit Root Attribute Points.”

Mo Simin mocked Yan Bingxuan’s indifferent tone of speech with an uncanny impression.

“That makes sense.”

Chen Mobai nodded, agreeing with Yan Bingxuan’s logic.

If it weren’t for the fact that this entrance exam determined his future in the Immortal Sects, Chen Mobai would have preferred to stay in the Tianhe Realm and continue his training.

His recent fights with the demonic beasts had consolidated the inflated spiritual power he had initially gained from consuming Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. He even felt that he could easily break through the bottleneck of the Qi Cultivation Rank-8 once he refined his spiritual energy to the right level.

“Well, long time no see, everyone”

At this moment, a spirited and energetic teenager entered the room. It was Xu Yuan.

He seemed to have gone somewhere to train during this period and had completely changed his casual demeanor. Now, he was more like a sharp sword out of its sheath, filled with fighting spirit and sharpness.

“Eh, you’ve broken through to the Qi Cultivation Rank-8.”

A flash of spiritual light passed through Shi Jingjing’s eyes, revealing Xu Yuan’s true realm.

“Correct. I was sent along with Yuanqing to train in the army. After enduring tortures you can’t imagine, I have thoroughly improved!”

Xu Yuan stood at the entrance, his entire person exuding a combativeness and sharpness he had never had before.

Meanwhile, Shi Yuanqing was still quiet. But the childishness on his face had completely vanished. He stood still like a mountain, giving people an indescribable feeling of solidity.

“In that case, you guys should be able to make it to the final round this time.”

Shi Jingjing glanced at Shi Yuanqing again. Seeing him, she, who originally didn’t have much confidence in the Magic Duel, slumped her face, turned her head, and leaned against Cao Yaling’s chest. Her face puckered up, and she looked extremely disappointed.

“If those four who are at the Qi Cultivation Rank-9 all go to participate in the entrance exams of the Four Great Dao Academies, I feel that I can top this competition among the Ten Academies.”

Xu Yuan’s words made Chen Mobai, who had been busy communicating with Qing Nu on his phone, glance at him.

After making sure this guy couldn’t possibly beat him, Chen Mobai lowered his head again and continues chatting with Qing Nu.

[Has the duel list been released yet?]

This was a message sent by Qing Nu.

She had pretty much been in the Alchemy Room or in her rented apartment recently, busy helping him refine Rank-1 High-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.

Because she had already been recommended for admission to the Jumang Dao Academy, she didn’t pay much attention to the entrance exam for Daoyuan College.

[It hasn’t reached our hands yet, but it may have been issued to the school already. After all, they said the duel list would be out today when we were filling out the school preferences.]

Chen Mobai replied.

The Cinnabarite Institute.

“47 people for Dao Academy and 233 people for Doyuan Academy.”

The Red Robe Leader glanced over the duel list with people’s allocations, and then looked up at the fully assembled representatives of the Dao Academy and Doyuan Academy in the conference room.

“The numbers are a bit awkward, should we kick one out or promote one? That way, it’ll be a perfect head-to-head match.”

The representative of the Repairing Heaven Institute said, which was silently rebuked by everyone.

“Whether we kick someone out or promote someone, there will be dissatisfaction. We must uphold basic fairness and justice, and I think we should stick with the numbers we have. The extra person will be the one with the highest score, who will get a bye and move on to the next round.”

Bian Yiqing of Dance Tool Dao Academy began speaking. His mature and steady comments earned nods of approval from most of the academy representatives.

“In that case, there’s another problem.”

Shang Qing of Jumang Dao Academy checked this year’s scores in Red Sandstone City and pointed out the two people with the highest scores, Gong Xiangyu and Yan Feng, who were tied.

So, who gets the bye?

For a moment, the conference room fell silent.

“Lan Haitian, how about your input?”

Among the Four Great Dao Academies, only Lan Haitian hasn’t spoken yet.

The representatives from the Ten Academies usually followed the lead of the Four Great Dao Academies in such situations.

When the words of the Red Robe Leader fell, all eyes were on Lan Haitian.

“Why don’t we mix the people from the Four Great Dao Academies and the Ten Academies together for the Magic Duel?”

Unexpectedly, Lan Haitian’s suggestion seemed to be unacceptable to some people.

“Wouldn’t that be unfair to the 47 who barely made it into the Daoyuan Academy? They worked very hard to earn this opportunity.”

“The more people there are in the competition, the more rounds there are, the easier it is to see who the true skills are..”
