Chapter 413: Chapter 290: Caring_2

Lin Yue nodded her head and immediately started to learn from Li Yi.

However, Lin Yue’s progress in martial arts cultivation was much slower than Li Yi’s. Li Yi could practice Skin Training, Muscle Training, and Bone Training all within a day under the guidance of his master, Zhao Ge, directly advancing through three realms of martial arts.

But for Lin Yue, it took an entire evening just to barely complete Skin Training.

Although this speed was already quite fast, it wasn’t satisfactory given the perfected training method and Li Yi’s guidance.

Li Yi wasn’t in a hurry and took his time to teach her.

"Sister Lin, while you were practicing Skin Training, I observed that with your physique and skeletal structure, rather than practicing fist power, you’d be more suitable to train with a weapon," Li Yi suggested while giving guidance.

"Li Yi, do you mean give up Fist Power and switch to practicing cold weapons instead?" Lin Yue hesitated for a moment before contemplating: "Actually, I’ve thought about your suggestion before. Compared to your fist, mine is far inferior and unimpressive, but if I can practice cold weapons, then I can play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses."

"I also trained at the investigation bureau’s training base during the time you transcended realms, and I found that I’m quite suited to use a blade. It’s just that cold weapons for Evolvers are very special, requiring a type of special alloy called Transcendent metal to forge. This metal can channel cosmic energy and is indestructible, capable of cleaving through the Scale Armor of Extraordinary Creatures. It’s a pity that it’s not available on the market, and even if it were, I couldn’t afford it, so I put it aside for the time being."

"Transcendent metal?"

Li Yi made a mental note of this, wanting to see for himself what’s so special about cold weapons forged with Transcendent metal if he ever got the chance.

The two discussed matters of cultivation, and the night quickly passed by.

Early the next morning.

Yesterday, Wang Bo and Zhang Tao, two strong cultivators of the Soul Realm, came early to visit Professor Zhang Songlin.

Regarding the events of yesterday, both were still deeply shaken, having nearly died. They would not dare to venture into this place again if there weren’t an important matter requiring Professor Zhang Songlin’s help.

Yet when the two arrived, they saw that Lin Yue and Li Yi had approached Professor Zhang Songlin before them.

"Professor, Li Yi’s Cultivation Value has reached one thousand two hundred percent. According to the standards of Golden Academy, he is fully qualified to be specially recruited," Lin Yue said. "However, we cannot get in touch with the person in charge at Golden Academy, so we hope you can help us."

"Li Yi’s Cultivation Value is already that high? Is there an augmentation from a Cultivation Skill?" Professor Zhang Songlin was surprised.

One thousand two hundred percent was indeed a standard high enough for special recruitment and even considered to be very outstanding among special recruits.

"Yes, within the investigation bureau of Tianchang City, there lies a damaged artifact, from which I comprehended the White Bone Temple Cultivation Skill, thus significantly increasing my Cultivation Value," Li Yi honestly disclosed. This didn’t need to be concealed anymore as he would be asked about it if he entered Golden Academy.

Professor Zhang Songlin nodded slightly: "With the augmentation of a Cultivation Skill, your Cultivation Value seems reasonable and not outrageous. However, the rating might be lowered for a special recruitment. You should know that within Golden Academy, there are some anomalies who have Cultivation Values exceeding one thousand percent even without Cultivation Skills. With the addition of a Cultivation Skill, their numbers would be even more astonishing."

Li Yi listened with inward trepidation.

He knew that he wasn’t a genius in cultivation; his high Cultivation Value was entirely due to three factors: the Cultivation Skill, Martial Arts Skill, and the Nine-Turned Divine Soul Pill.

Without such an accumulation of resources, his Cultivation Value would, at most, be around one hundred percent, very mediocre.

However, Li Yi felt that a cultivator’s achievements weren’t determined solely by Cultivation Value. As long as one embarks on the path of cultivation, the potential achievements of everyone were immeasurable, especially in the Sky Tipping World, filled with dangers and opportunities. If one seized the chance, they could shoot up to the heavens.

"Professor, it’s already great that Li Yi can enter Golden Academy. If we don’t rely on a Cultivation Skill, we wouldn’t even touch the threshold," Lin Yue said.

Professor Zhang Songlin laughed: "You’re doing the right thing in seeking the teacher’s recommendation for Li Yi. If Li Yi followed the normal special recruitment process, the assessors might make things difficult. With bad luck, the entire special recruitment could be jeopardized, since though Cultivation Skills aren’t explicitly regulated, assessors scrutinizing them could deem your Cultivation Value as ineligible without any room for dispute."

Li Yi was slightly surprised upon hearing this, not expecting such insider workings.

Indeed, cultivation still required understanding of interpersonal relationships, without which it would be difficult to progress even an inch.

"Just right, there is a Golden Academy assessment center in Tian Han City, and the assessor called Shen Chong, had previously attended my lecture. I’ll give him a call and have him take care of this matter," said Zhang Songlin. He was very willing to help Li Yi, especially since he had taken advantage of Li Yi the day before by accepting a Life Extending Pill, which unexpectedly increased his lifespan by a hundred years.

Very soon.

Zhang Songlin made a phone call in front of several people.

"Professor Zhang, no problem, leave it to me. Have that Li Yi come to the assessment center tomorrow morning at nine o’clock. I’ll be in charge during that time," said the voice of the one named Shen Chong over the phone, agreeing to the request on the spot.

"Then I’ll trouble you," Zhang Songlin responded.

"Professor Zhang, you’re too polite. It’s just a small matter, nothing worth mentioning," replied Shen Chong.

In just a few words.

The matter was settled.

However, as soon as Zhang Songlin hung up the phone, the waiting Wang Bo and Zhang Tao approached again and said, "Teacher, I’ve arranged everything about yesterday’s matter. The helicopter is parked outside. When do you think we should depart to deal with that Extraordinary Creature?"

"Since everything is already prepared, let’s go now," Zhang Songlin said, and then turned and said, "Li Yi, I hear you went to World No. 36. That Yang Wei from yesterday left a deep impression on me. When I get back, you tell me about the other world. I’m quite interested in the supernatural powers of that world."

"Professor Zhang, no problem," Li Yi nodded in agreement.

"That’s great, then I’ll get busy. Lin Yue, don’t forget to bring Li Yi to attend the Golden Academy’s special enrollment exam at nine o’clock tomorrow morning. I’ve already established connections, so don’t worry. It’s just a formality; everything will go smoothly," Zhang Songlin said with a smile and a wave of his hand, then he rose into the air and flew outside.

Wang Bo and Zhang Tao hurriedly followed.

In no time, a helicopter took off, quickly heading towards the direction of the danger zone.

"Professor Zhang is indeed a good person, willing to help his juniors," Li Yi reflected.

Lin Yue said with a smile, "Of course, the teacher also hopes to teach several promising students. He used to say that he hoped his students would outshine him, so that they could look after him, their old teacher, in the future. He also told us that with Sky Tipping imminent, it’s very important to stick together to survive. Whether it’s facing future dangers or surviving across worlds, the power of one person is limited. Only by uniting can we hope to succeed."

"It’s just a pity that not many people listen. Most of them are thinking of only themselves."

After saying that, she sighed, showing some helplessness.

Li Yi nodded slightly, understanding the meaning of unity Professor Zhang referred to.

Because facing dangers of another world, one person is weak, hardly making an impact. It is necessary to join hands to achieve something.

He had a deep understanding of this in the Four Seas and Eight Continents, otherwise, he would not cooperate with the four great families in exchange for a foothold in Sanyang City.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this. We should prepare for tomorrow’s exam now. Though the teacher has arranged things, there will be more than one person overseeing the exam, at most we just have a bit more advantage than others," Lin Yue said. "So, you need to adjust your condition today and nurture your Qi-Blood."

"I understand, Sister Lin," Li Yi nodded.
