Sun Moon Federation
Eastsea City
Eastsea Academy.
Classes started like a breeze and become more of a freshner by the end of the year. It was peaceful and above all the new meditation method was fast. At least compared to the one that I had before.
Legends say that the grade 2 had a better version of it and grade 3 had a better version of it and so on and so forth until you reach the Advanced course and they have the actual version of it.
Guess which one I am using at the moment?
I understand why the actual method of the Mysterious Heaven Method wasn't given to the children. This one was hard, not just hard to decipher and remember but hard to control and to keep it in control everytime you meditate. This was clearly above the skill level of the normal kiddos and the kids of grade 1 or grade 2 clearly wouldn't be able harness it without causing cultivation failures.
That wasn't the case for me though.
Fan Lin, that is I, although am currently a child, with my childish self, do have the capabilities of my adult self somewhere within me.
Adding to the fact that I do have a really good soul power assessment due to me fiddling with my soul power to understand how fast my meditation speed was. I mentioned it previously, remember that?
And don't ask me how I acquired it, you will likely not like it. Or maybe you will.
I am a good soul now.
I won't do anything.
Three months later.
You know, as I was going through the library books, I found this interesting piece of information.
Apparently. Apparently~ I am in the books now.
This year's latest edition,
[The truth of the Glorybound Massacre - A Truth that will shock you.]
"Should I file for royalties?"
....
Time passed and as if it was just a few days, Fan Lin reached rank 20 just a day before the sorting ceremony.
"Grade 2 Class 1, Fan Lin."
'Yay. I advanced a year. I am in grade 2 now.'
'I am so happy.'
'Another yay. I am in Class 1 of grade 2.'
*sigh*
'I am not happy.'
Fan Lin thought while looking at the willow trees that were shedding their leaves.
'I am not said as well. I didn't kill anyone.'
He quietly thought and shook his head.
A year into his school life and he was a Soul Grandmaster(not really) now. It was also why he sorted into the class 1 of his new grade.
The original version of the Mysterious Heaven Method did work wonders and he was able to leisurely rise through the ranks as if he had secondary awakening of his martial soul.
At least that was what the grade 1 class 5s teacher had said after he examined Fan Lin's rapid growth.
From his view, Fan Lin's Bluesilver Grass might be special. That was extent of his observation.
He was not wrong though. According to the books that Fan Lin had read, every single martial soul was different because everyone was different in their bloodline, affinity, and spiritual power.
So even the people with same martial soul actually have differences in their martial souls and that difference does make a difference in cultivation.
"I really have lost my explanatory ability. What a weird thing to lose and still remember that I have lost it."
He wondered. Not like he could do much. He was on his way to the Spirit Pagoda to get his second spirit soul so that he can get his second spirit skill and there were only a few things he can think of that he could do in a bus to pass time but he lacked the resources to do them.
A rant born from boredom.
The bus reached his destination and he was off to get the new spirit soul. Already accustomed to the process since his last visit, he went his way, explained his needs, went to get the spiritual power checked and then everything was thwarted out of the window.
576.
The staff dumbfoundedly looked at his results before inspecting the machine. It was fine. The result was valid.
"Can we recheck it again?"
They politely asked him.
"En."
Fan Lin nodded. Even he wasn't sure of this result. It could very well be a twist of fate against him?
The machine ran again and in but a minute, the result was there.
563.
The Previous result was valid.
The staff looked dumbfounded again.
"It's valid! It is actually true!"
They exclaimed in shock as this was a bit hard to believe.
"So~, If I am right, 100 for yellow, 300 for thousand and above five hundred meant a black one. Give me the Black Ten Thousand year old spirit soul. Let's hurry. Where do I pay?"
Fan Lin looked at the result and realised what he could do. So he did.
"Huh? Ah, no. We can't give it to you."
The reception lady said while entering the testing chamber. Along with her came another woman.
"Why?"
Fan Lin took out the straps around his arms and asked.
"Your, your physique! Your physique doesn't meet the requirements. Forget the ten thousand year old, you don't even meet the thousand year old spirit soul requirement."
The receptionist Lady said. Her teammate(?) nodded by the side. Fan Lin felt surrounded.
"And how do you know that? I don't remember ever checking my physical stats? Whatever. I will come next month then. That should be enough time to train my physique."
"Wait! Wait!"
"Later. I have somewhere I need to be."
He said and immediately took off. From the situation, his extraordinary results seemed to have gotten him into trouble. They were clearly there to stall time. Time for what or whom? He didn't know, neither cared.
The moment he understood the situation, he fled. He immediately hailed a cab that was ready and asked the cab lady to drive at full speed. A quick 1000 Credits tip easily brought her no.
'I will just go to another Spirit Pagoda for the Spirit Soul. It's a ten thousand year old spirit soul, I can obviously do this much."
"The main question is how did I gain so much spiritual power and why do I not feel any different? Doesn't it allow sensing abilities? I don't think mine are any different than they were before."
Fan Lin questioned himself, unware that unlike his past self that was repressed by the very heaven due to his close proximity actions near Tang Wulin, the current him was not repressed since he hadn't made any kind of contact with the protagonist and neither been monologing everyday that he will kill all humans and how the spirit beasts would be granted justice and all.
After the sudden Glorybound killings, he had remained at the sidelines and done nothing outrageous or out of order. He did use his money to buy the actual version of the Mysterious Heaven Method and also used it to buy some expensive but ordinary kitchen knives and utensils but that was it to his spendings.
Ignoring this, Fan Lin was now considered "not a threat" by the Heavens and had thus been left alone at his fate. His repressed spiritual power being a sign of it.
They thought he wasn't a threat...
....
Fan Lin paid the cab lady who made a 2 hour ride into a 30 min one another 1000 Credits and entered the Eastsea Academy premises with a new goal.
By the next three months, he needed to make his body capable of at least absorbing a thousand year old spirit soul.
"I can't be blamed though. I made preparations for a 100 year old spirit soul. Who knew this would happen?"
...
A small chapter as today is the day. The fateful day. Please pray that it goes well.
