16: Leaving Linhai County

The next day.

Xiao Weiqing and Zhang Dawei got up.

"Brother Qing, I feel like my Spiritual Qi cultivation is much faster, at least four or five times faster than before."

"What about you? Is your cultivation speed six or seven times faster?"

Xiao Weiqing nodded: "About that."

But in his heart, he thought: "It is six or seven times, but six or seven times yours."

Realm: Initial Realm

Extraordinary Talent: Samadhi True Fire (Samadhi True Fire Spirit Refining Art)

Mental Energy: 9.9

Spiritual Qi: shenque acupoint

Physique: Mortal Realm

First Samadhi Qi Fire: (45/1000) strands

This was the result of Xiao Weiqing's several hours of work last night, and he was very satisfied with it.

After breakfast.

The two arrived at the playground.

Chen Luo, along with the principal and leadership team of Linhai No. 2 Middle School, were there, including the first and second-year students who hadn't gone on break yet.

"Teacher Chen, thank you."

Xiao Weiqing and Zhang Dawei bowed, expressing their sincere gratitude.

Chen Luo waved his hand, his eyes slightly red. "It's all due to your own hard work. Do your best at Luo Jiang Academy."

"Yes, thank you again, Teacher."

Chen Luo laughed. "If anyone should be thanked, it's me thanking you."

"This year, my class produced students like you, and I received a large bonus. I'll be set for life now. My biggest wish is for you to go to Supernatural University, Cultivate well, succeed in your studies, and slay Yao Beasts."

"Don't worry, Teacher, we will."

On the other side, Yan Hao shouted loudly.

"Good, you have spirit!"

The atmosphere of parting was always sad, and everyone was reluctant to say goodbye.

"It's coming."

Suddenly, someone pointed at the sky.

An egg-shaped aircraft slowly descended.

It hovered two meters above the playground.

The hatch opened.

Jiang Peng stuck his head out and shouted, "Xiao Weiqing, Zhang Dawei, come up."

"Teacher, Principal, we're leaving."

"Good, go on."

Xiao Weiqing and Zhang Dawei each carried a large bag and leaped onto the aircraft.

Jiang Peng cupped his hands toward the group of teachers from Linhai No. 2 Middle School. "Teachers, goodbye."

The teachers waved as they watched the aircraft fly away.

After Jiang Peng's aircraft left, the other aircraft landed; they were from several other Supernatural Universities.

This year was also a bumper harvest for Linhai No. 2 Middle School, with a total of 17 people admitted to Supernatural Universities... Xiao Weiqing and Zhang Dawei entered the bottom of the aircraft.

"Let's go, come up."

After going up a floor, the space inside the aircraft suddenly opened up. It was over a hundred square meters, and three people were already there—two men and one woman.

"Brother Qing, over here." Wei Lan raised her hand and waved.

Xiao Weiqing and Zhang Dawei walked over.

The two young men quickly stood up.

"Li Fangnan, Level 3 'Technique'."

"Ning Zhi, Level 3 'Art'."

Xiao Weiqing was about to speak.

"We know. Xiao Weiqing, Zhang Dawei, both are Level 3 'Arts'. Especially you, Xiao Weiqing—a Level 3 True Art is no worse than a Level 4." Li Fangnan said.

Xiao Weiqing smiled and didn't speak.

Jiang Peng said, "Yes, Li Fangnan is right."

"When an Extraordinary Talent encounters the word 'True', its grade effectively increases by one, let alone an Art."

Wei Lan asked, "Is Brother Qing's Art that powerful?"

"Yeah, you'll find out later. You must be extra careful when encountering a True Art in the future; they cannot be judged by common sense."

"Every True Art basically has abilities that defy common sense."

"'Spirit' and 'Martial' are the same, just not as exaggerated as 'Arts'."

Zhang Dawei nodded. "So that's how it is."

He remembered last night when Xiao Weiqing's fire didn't go out when it hit water, and even started burning in the water.

"Senior Jiang, are we going to the Academy now?"

"No, we'll gather in Anqiu City first. My aircraft has an air speed limit, and Luo Jiang Academy is too far."

Zhang Dawei was surprised. "Senior, is this aircraft your private property?"

"What? Not allowed?"

"No, no, I'm just surprised."

Jiang Peng said, "It's nothing to be surprised about. This aircraft isn't expensive, just 50,000 points."

"50,000 points?"

The group had no concept of this.

Jiang Peng thought for a moment. "Well, points are a digital System common to all academies, but they only circulate within the Great Xia Academy System.

How should I put it? You can understand it as 1 point being exchangeable for 1,000 Great Xia Coins, but 1,000 Great Xia Coins can't be exchanged for 1 point. Do you understand?"

"Then isn't that 50 million?"

Zhang Dawei was stunned. He and Xiao Weiqing were both from an orphanage, and their annual expenses were at most 10,000.

"Don't be so dramatic. Once you enter the academy, you'll realize that money is the least valuable thing. Problems that can be solved with money aren't problems at all."

"Take a break."

"It'll take another hour to arrive."

"An hour? Does it take that long? I remember Anqiu City wasn't that far." Li Fangnan said doubtfully; clearly, he had been to Anqiu City before.

"Ahem..."

Jiang Peng coughed twice. "I said, this is a private aircraft with an air speed limit. The speed can't exceed 300 km/h."

"300 km/h is indeed not fast. It's much slower than a normal civilian plane." Li Fangnan nodded.

Jiang Peng: "..."

"See through it, but don't say it."

Xiao Weiqing asked, "Since the speed is so slow, why did you spend 50,000 points to buy this aircraft, Senior?"

Jiang Peng glanced at Xiao Weiqing. "Good question. First of all, the maximum speed of this aircraft can reach 2,000 km/h, and it has vertical takeoff and landing, which is very convenient for going into the wild."

"It's just that we're currently taking a civilian route, so it's not appropriate to go too fast. If we exceed a certain speed, it's easy to be detected by ground reconnaissance. If we're mistaken for an avian Yao Beast and shot down, it wouldn't be worth it."

"Also, some Yao Beast territories can only be reached by aircraft; there are no other fixed transportation methods."

"The last point, and the most important one, is to show off. Think about it—when everyone is preparing for a mission, you shout out, 'I have an aircraft.' Guess what happens?"

Li Fangnan's eyes lit up. "You'd be the most dazzling guy there."

"Exactly."

Jiang Peng nodded with satisfaction.

After answering a few more questions, Jiang Peng left, leaving the young people together.

Xiao Weiqing found an empty space and began to Cultivate.

One hour was enough for him to refine a few more strands of Qi Fire.

"Da Wei?"

"Hmm? What's up?"

"Has Xiao Weiqing always been like this?"

Zhang Dawei thought for a moment. "Yeah, pretty much. Even before he got his Extraordinary Talent, Brother Qing would Cultivate Spiritual Qi whenever he had time."

"Even though his Spiritual Qi simulation score was already 40, he still persisted as always. I think that's why Brother Qing's Spiritual Qi score far exceeds ours."

Zhang Dawei was no longer a cultivation rookie and knew that the Spiritual Qi assessment score was definitely not limited to 40.
