Arhh!!! They clashed and the whole barrier trembled, the Sect Master struck down dispelling the force of their attacks. After that had been done everything returned back to normal... This battle would be continued on a later. Lady Chen began to explain the rules of the sect to all the young intakes. "You will also be examined every year in those courses and, if the results won't be satisfying, you will be requested to abandon that subject. You will still be able to attend it but it will cost you some Credits." Lady Chen stopped speaking for a moment before resuming in her explanation. "You must also complete a mission for the Sect every two months. There is a large board on the right side of the river where you can find all the tasks that you can complete. Being successful in a mission will grant you merit points that you can exchange for techniques, materials, or weapons. These services will be open for you after you undergo the test of your nature." "Lastly, any Elder can ch

Lucinda opened her eyes.Her image reflected on the floor made of mirrors slowly brought her back to reality.In the eyes of her reflection, the brightness of the stars in the sky shined like it had become a part of it.'So, this is who I am.'She had a deeper understanding of her true nature after the test.'An endless search for a higher power. It seems that even Heaven can't suppress my ambition.'She raised her gaze to look at the sky.Only the clear ceiling of the building was visible but Sara's eyes seemed to look through it.I was suppressed and forged my way to freedom. I shall not be bound by human's law nor by Heaven's will.'A list appeared in his sea of consciousness which had the names of the courses and her attitude on them pictured on it.'Attunement with the "Breath", highly incompatible, I had already guessed that much.'She attentively read the list.She discovered that if she focused on certain courses, an explanation for the judgment of the test would appear.'My n

The Ashura was a humanoid magical beast with three heads and six arms.The Three forms of the Ashura, as a rank 4 technique, could inherently improve the martial art of a cultivator multiplying her attacks till they reached the number of arms of the Ashura.Each form, on the other hand, had more amazing effects.The First form could increase the number of attacks by a large amount, creating material after-images through the "Breath" of the cultivator.However, fighting in that way comported a heavy burden on the cultivator's mind.Lucinda was battling seven people at the same time, her mental energy depleted to aid her concentration on her various opponents.She didn't commit any mistakes though, there were no flaws in her combat style.She had already been used on dividing her senses with the blood companion so it had been easier for her to learn the First form.Little by little, all the students were pushed back with many small cuts appearing on their bodies.In Lucinda's perception

The technique described in Ivor's book was a method to connect the space inside the sea of consciousness with the outside world.The cultivator had to use his projection inside the mental sphere as a link where the "Breath" had to pass through.However, the sea of consciousness was a personal space of the cultivator, it was his same mind, not a place appropriate to store "Breath".But the Elemental forging method did exactly that: it forced the "Breath" of Heaven and Earth outside of their dominion and refined it through the mental energy of the cultivator, making it a form of energy that could be shaped as the cultivator wanted.The "Breath" had its own will though, it could even oppose the advancements of the dantian, it was no wonder that it struggled to no end when it was put inside a sea of consciousness.Of course, a failure in containing it led to a backlash.That was precisely what was happening to Lucinda.The "Breath" that entered her mental sphere self-detonated because she

The week passed quickly. Lucinda went outside the academy ground donned in her usual reddish gym suit. She had left eight hundred Credits to Ivor and used again the Sulfur domain to make sure that she had increased her power as much as possible. She had only one thousand and six hundred Credits and twenty merit points left, she was in need of the rewards of the mission. However, her headache had vastly diminished in intensity which left her pleasantly surprised. 'I should really pay more attention to the faculties of the academy.' Right outside of the entrance, in Arolyac forest, Lady Chen was waiting with three more students. "Why am I not surprised that you are here?" One of the students was Yaoyao and she spoke as soon as she saw Lucinda arriving. "We are the best in our class as well as the poorest. It is quite obvious for us to join this mission." Lucinda answered. During the previous months, Yaoyao had clearly shown her superiority to Justin, gaining the undisputed tit
