Chapter 352: Eight Great Sects

Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Eight Great Sects

Over the next three days, Ling Chen and the other five did not step out of their rooms, each engrossed in cultivation.

Ling Chen was cultivating his Divine Soul.

With the resource of the Soul Stone for Divine Soul Cultivation, Ling Chen finally experienced the invigorating feeling of cultivating the Divine Soul once again.

As he had reached the early phase of the Primordial Pill Realm, the improvement rate of his Divine Soul became slower.

Just absorbing Sunlight Power to enhance the Divine Soul was extremely difficult.

It had been several months since his ascension to the early phase of the Primordial Pill Realm.

However, since then, his Divine Soul had hardly improved much.

There was still a gap from reaching the middle phase of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Now that he had the Soul Stone, Ling Chen naturally intended to make good use of it.

Of course, even though he was in the early phase of the Primordial Pill Realm, due to the Sunlight Holy Body, the might of his Divine Soul Telekinesis was not inferior to that of a common top-grade, mid-tier Divine Thought Master.

Ling Wu and the other four were cultivating their Spiritual Power.

With the aid of the Jinyuan Pill, it was not surprising that each of their cultivations had improved by one level.

At this time.

Qin Shi was in the late fourth level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Su Yao and Xu Lin were in the mid-fourth level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Ye Zhenzhen was in the mid-second level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

And Ling Wu was in the late second level of the Primordial Pill Realm!

In less than three days, the combat strength of the five had all climbed a notch.

In the following time, Ling Wu and the others absorbed the Spiritual Energy from high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones to stabilize and enhance their cultivation levels.

Of course, they also did not dare to be reckless.

Though Elemental Spirit Stone Cultivation was beneficial, they did not dare overindulge.

Otherwise, it would lead to an unstable foundation.

And that would affect their future cultivation!

As they were immersed in cultivation, an explosive piece of news spread throughout the Academic Palace.

"What, this time, our Academy actually has an exceptional genius with peerless talent?"

When the senior students saw the evaluation of Ling Chen and the six others, they were immediately shocked.

Peerless!

Such a genius had never appeared before in the Academic Palace.

Even in the King Star Academy, there was only Xia Biluo, the owner of the Sacred Body, who was considered a genius of peerless level!

Who was this Ling Chen?

How could he stand shoulder to shoulder with the Crown Prince?

"Psh, it’s just that the Palace Master intentionally raised his rating, in reality, he is but a genius of Transcendent level!"

When someone saw the reason for Ling Chen’s peerless rating, they couldn’t help but sneer.

"Exactly, that’s what I thought! How could an unknown person be compared to the Crown Prince?"

The initial shock in many people’s hearts considerably subsided.

A genius of Transcendent level, though not many, is not uncommon either.

The geniuses within the top thirty of the Star Ranking were basically of Transcendent level.

Almost overnight, the name Ling Chen spread throughout the entire Academic Palace.

Many people still wished to witness for themselves, how exceptional this peerlessly-rated genius really was?

Even if the Palace Master had intentionally elevated his rating, this Ling Chen must have his special aspects!

Otherwise, among so many Transcendents, why haven’t other Transcendent students been elevated?

"Ling Chen resides in the Bamboo Garden; once the new student protection period is over, is anyone interested in going to get a glimpse of him?"

Someone said loudly.

"Let’s go!"

"Of course, we have to witness it for ourselves!"

"How could we miss the first student rated as peerless?"

"Yes, yes, this kid is peerless level, ah! The rewards from the Academy must be extremely generous!"

"Indeed!"

"Haha, if we could get half of the rewards given to a peerless student, it would be enough for us to cultivate for a while, right?"

...

People responded one after another.

Apart from meeting Ling Chen in person, most were coveting the rewards Ling Chen had received.

From afar, Su Yao watched the excited students with a cold gaze.

He sighed softly in his heart: "Just based on you all, also worthy to provoke Junior Brother Ling?"

Among these people, most were students of the Primordial Pill Realm seventh level and below, with only a very few among them recognized as Star Ranking geniuses.

Under the Divine Soul Attack of a top mid-tier Divine Thought Master, no one dared to contend with its edge!

...

The evening of the third day.

Chi Shen came to the Bamboo Garden.

By then, Ling Chen and the other five had already left their retreat, chatting and laughing joyfully in the courtyard.

"Elder Chi!"

Upon seeing Chi Shen arrive, the six of them hurriedly paid their respects.

"No need for formalities."

Chi Shen waved his hand and sat down with the six.

"Ling Chen, the reward from the Palace Master should all be cultivation resources for Divine Thought Masters, right?"

Chi Shen asked with a smile.

"That’s correct."

Ling Chen nodded.

Chi Shen smiled and spread open his hand, revealing a Jade Bottle that appeared out of thin air. He smiled at Ling Chen and said, "This is a Jinyuan Pill, I’m giving it to you."

It was because of Ling Chen that he received such generous rewards from the Palace Master.

Therefore, he bought a Jinyuan Pill as a token of his gratitude towards Ling Chen.

A Jinyuan Pill, every Cultivator in the Primordial Pill Realm can only take one in their lifetime.

Taking more is useless.

That’s why he only bought one.

Ling Chen’s expression became solemn.

Indeed, he had not received a Jinyuan Pill, but he already got one from Su Yao and had used it.

Thus, this Jinyuan Pill was of no use to him anymore.

However, out of respect for Elder Chi Shen’s kind intentions, Ling Chen could only smile and accept it, pretending to be moved as he said, "Thank you so much, Elder Chi."

Chi Shen waved his hand and laughed, "Alright. Tomorrow marks the end of the three-day protection period for you new students, and surely, many students will be aiming for you, so be careful!"

Especially Ling Chen.

After all, Ling Chen is the only student in the Academic Palace rated as ’Transcendent.’

How could he not attract the covetousness of other students?

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder."

Ling Chen smiled and nodded.

Chi Shen continued, "Once you get through tomorrow, it’s best to join a sect!"

"Although it requires paying some fees, it’s much more cost-effective than having half of your cultivation resources snatched away."

The ’sects’ here are actually organizations formed by students banding together.

The purpose is to prevent too many cultivation resources from being taken away.

You should know, every student can basically be challenged four times a day.

Each defeat means handing over half of one’s cultivation resources.

Only when one’s cultivation resources are reduced to less than one-tenth can they refuse others’ challenges.

Otherwise, they must accept.

This is the Academic Palace’s way of encouraging competition among students.

Once you join a sect, protected by some of the strong ones on the Ranking, you will rarely be robbed like that.

"Understood."

Ling Chen nodded lightly.

Among the six, Ling Chen was the strongest.

Therefore, the six naturally looked up to Ling Chen as their leader.

"I wonder how many sects there are within the Academic Palace?"

Ling Chen asked again.

"Seven or eight?"

Chi Shen thought for a while then continued, "Purple Cloud, Myth, Beauties, Flowing Wind, Sky Extreme, Ice Frost, Falling Maple, Mixed Element. Hmm, seems like only these eight."

"There should be quite a few students in the Academic Palace, right? Why are there so few sects?"

Ling Chen asked.

Although he had not seen many Academic Palace students, Su Yao was able to rank ninety-ninth on the Ranking despite only being in the late fifth level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

This indicates that the Academic Palace doesn’t lack students.

After all, the lower the cultivation, the more Cultivators there are.

Chi Shen laughed, "These Eight Great Sects are surviving because they have students ranking very high on the Ranking protecting them. There were many sects before, but they’ve all been assimilated."

"Oh!"

Ling Chen nodded and asked, "So, who is the strongest amongst these eight sects?"
