Was this phenomenon good or bad? Of course, Lan Xuanyu thought that it was good. At the moment, he felt that his bloodline was in abundance and filled with power, and even his Soul Power seemed to have increased. All of this happened with just two hours of cultivating! If he could get such a result from training everyday…
“Teacher Ji, I want to try cultivating.” Lan Xuanyu’s heart was filled with passion. After all, he was still young. Upon realizing the benefits of cultivating in Shrek Academy, he didn’t waste a second.
“You can try it out, but be careful, alright?” Ji Hongbin said.
“Yes.”
Lan Xuanyu calmed himself down before meditating again.
An abundance of life energy poured into him and soaked his entire body. But Lan Xuanyu realized that it was different from before. When the life energy rushed into his body, it no longer focused on his gold and silver vortex, but flowed into all of his limbs and bones, and was absorbed by every part of his body.
The gold and silver vortex revolving speed had increased, but it was far from the sudden burst of speed it had shown previously. But he could not deny the fact that with the abundant life energy replenishing him, his Soul Power cultivation was much faster than on Heaven Luo planet. He no longer felt even the slightest sensation of changes as before.
Nonetheless, Lan Xuanyu continued to immerse in deep meditation. When he awoke, it was already dark.
“Go get some food to eat,” Ji Hongbin said. “It’s impossible to have continuous mutations. This is only ordinary.”
The reason for explaining it now was to let Lan Xuanyu sense the difference in himself after the transformation. Only by doing so would he have a deeper impression of it.
Lan Xuanyu naturally understood this reason. Although he was unresigned, upon thinking about how much better it was compared to Heaven Luo Academy, he became more at ease.
The floor had two cafeterias that served different dishes. One was a buffet hall and the other worked by ordering dishes.
Lan Xuanyu was confident in his food intake and naturally chose the buffet hall without hesitation. Upon entering, he discovered that all the food was actually made out of precious ingredients. What they served was better, nowhere inferior to what he ate in the elite junior class or the food that he had during the last spurt of his training.
“Xuanyu, you’ve grown much taller.” Ji Hongbin used his hand to compare the difference between their heights.
Ji Hongbin was tall, and Lan Xuanyu’s head previously reached up to his chest. However, Lan Xuanyu had obviously grown and now already reached his neck. He had grown by at least five centimeters. Additionally, his shoulders had grown broader. Even his muscles seemed to have increased in mass.
Originally, the word beautiful was most apt to describe Lan Xuanyu, with his face still carrying the hint of a child. But after going through the transformation, he had transformed towards the path of a youth and could be described as handsome.
Lan Xuanyu lowered his head and looked at his school uniform. It seemed to be shorter now. How did he grow taller in such a short period of time?
“Teacher, should we call Liu Feng and Qian Lei?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
“They’ve already eaten and returned to their room to train. We can’t miss even a second here in Shrek.” After forming two spell protections for Lan Xuanyu and ensuring that he was stabilized, he naturally went to guide Liu Feng and Qian Lei. He could not show favoritism, after all.
“Teacher, I’m going to grab some food.”
“Go on.”
Lan Xuanyu rushed forward excitedly and began his feast. To his surprise, he discovered that his appetite was lesser than before. With the large consumption from the bloodline mutation, he thought that he would be famished to death. But upon eating, he merely had six large plates of food before feeling full.
“You find yourself eating less compared to your usual days? Don’t worry about it. The life energy is dense here, and the origin energy is abundant. A portion of the energy absorbed by your body will make you full, so you naturally do not need as much food intake to replenish yourself. Furthermore, six big plates, that’s honestly quite a lot!” Ji Hongbin wanted to laugh, but there were a few people looking in their direction.
There were not only people from Heaven Luo planet, but also teachers and participating students from other planets and academies.
Everyone was to stay together before taking the test together.
After his meal, Lan Xuanyu thought of looking for Dong Qianqiu to see if she had arrived, but upon thinking about the physical examination the next day and knowing that Dong Qianqiu would have no problem passing it, he decided to polish himself up. He immediately returned to his room and meditated.
Early next morning, everyone gathered inside the Shrek Guesthouse lobby.
Lan Xuanyu was surprised to find that not everyone was present, only the 30 people from Heaven Luo planet that were participating. Seems like they are running the physical examination separately.
The one to receive them was Ling Yiyi. This beautiful guide was constantly beaming, and Lan Xuanyu still had not clarified if she was a teacher or student.
Ling Yiyi began speaking. “I will lead everyone to our Shrek Academy’s physical examination to conduct the test. The test results will count towards your semi-finals results. But everyone, fret not. The physical examination does not represent everything and will not influence the other subjects in the semi-finals. To be able to pass the qualifiers and come here is an opportunity that Shrek has extended out to all of you.”
Upon hearing her words, countless people heaved sighs of relief. They were most worried about failing to meet the standard requirements and immediately being sent home without an opportunity to display their talents.
For example, Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei, and Liu Feng all had the same worry. After all, they had not even attained three rings cultivation yet.
In fact, there were only a handful of them that had not obtained three rings cultivation yet. There were the three of them, Liang Shushi’s two teammates, and three other students. Eight individuals had extremely low Soul Power. Among them, Lan Xuanyu’s Soul Power was definitely the worst. Even Qian Lei and Liu Feng were both above rank 27.
“Cultivating here is truly great! I can clearly feel the difference in speed when cultivating here as compared to back in our academy. What do you think, Xuanyu? Eh, why are you taller than me now?” While talking to Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei realized their height disparity. The difference was over five centimeters and was truly too obvious.
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “I ate too much good food here and grew a few.”
At this moment, everyone was tense and nervous due to the physical examination, so Qian Lei did not question further.
“Please follow me. Fellow teachers, please stay behind,” Ling Yiyi said with a smile.
Ji Hongbin patted Lan Xuanyu’s shoulder and whispered, “Give it everything you have. Shrek Academy will never abandon you for being too special, but only let you leave if you’re too mediocre.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at Ji Hongbin, who nodded at him.
“I understand.”
Under Ling Yiyi’s guide, everyone left the guesthouse to go to a large bus that waited outside. That’s right, they had to drive within the academy. This was simply because Shrek Academy was too big.
After boarding the bus, they began moving.
Lan Xuanyu noted that Bing Tianliang, who was seated adjacent to him, had a bad expression on his face.
Bing Tianliang, upon discovering that Lan Xuanyu was looking over, forced a smile before closing his eyes.
Bing Tianliang never expected the first test to be a physical test. He was not worried for himself, but for Liang Shushi.
It was not that Liang Shushi’s cultivation was insufficient—having three rings was considered rather outstanding. However, her martial soul was rather ordinary.
Lan Xuanyu’s Soul Power was considered weak, but his Martial Soul was unique and there was even his Twin Martial Souls. This was definitely a plus. Liang Shushi, in contrast, was too ordinary and her teammates were even weaker. Under such circumstances, who knew whether he would have the opportunity to help her.
Everyone’s mood was either of nervousness or excitement. No one was the same. Carrying their emotions, the Soul Guidance bus brought them to a spherical structure.
