Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 199 The Direction of the Future

The tribulation of lightning is both a danger and an opportunity. Victory brings further progress, while defeat leads to death and the annihilation of one's cultivation.

In reality, Tai'an was far from meeting the standards for transcending tribulation. It was only because his physical energy was too abundant, and he happened to encounter thunderstorms, and recklessly approached the sky.

A series of coincidences have led to the current situation of being bathed in thunder.

My mind went blank for a moment, and I lost consciousness.

Electric light enveloped every part of his body—skin, muscles, bones, cells, and even his soul…

Tai'an fell from the sky, his consciousness returning after a brief loss, and he hurriedly landed on the ground.

His body was smoking, and his skin was covered in charred and burned marks.

He cast a healing spell on himself, and a large amount of dead skin peeled off, revealing new skin that was as white and rosy as a baby's, delicate and smooth.

He was in excellent condition, his body felt completely refreshed, the pills were fully digested with the help of the lightning, and the quality of his mental energy had also improved.

It can be said that their strength has taken a small step forward in all aspects.

Becoming stronger is so easy!

Tai'an looked up at the sky, feeling an urge to rush into the sea of ​​thunder, when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his eye sockets.

The Source Eye, which had automatically entered the third stage, clearly saw dense, dark red threads of calamity energy descending from the sky.

Active provocation and passive acceptance are different concepts; the source eye instinctively issues a danger warning.

"The world is conscious, it's alive!" Tai'an murmured absentmindedly.

3 PM.

The first-year students of the Wizarding Academy had just finished school. Four little girls walked hand in hand, side by side, each wearing a pretty little dress.

Silvermoon was the first to learn about the Three-Eyed Raven hatching: "In a few days, Xiao An will be able to come to school."

Fu's eyes widened, her expression filled with undisguised surprise: "Really? The war's over, and everyone's coming back?"

Dorothy shook her head: "No, his Three-Eyed Raven clone is hatching so he can communicate and attend classes remotely. Mine will be ready soon too..."

Leona exclaimed, "The Raven Clone ability is really useful! I wish I had one too."

"It seems like you can exchange for it at the mission center. It costs 120,000 points, including the patented technology and the Three-Eyed Raven's egg." Dorothy had some prior knowledge of this.

The newly hatched three-eyed crow spent most of its time sleeping and had no interest in the curious group.

Fu leaned closer to her small face, blinking her eyelashes rapidly: "Is it really Xiao An?"

Silver Moon nodded proudly: "Yesterday, Xiao An and I even exchanged a few words."

"Don't touch it, new life is very fragile," Dorothy warned.

The three-eyed raven suddenly opened its eyes and cawed, "Good morning!"

"Xiao An, it's afternoon now!" Yin Yue pouted.

"Alright, good afternoon!" the Three-Eyed Raven changed its tune.

"Where are you! I'll come find you this weekend!" Silver Moon's thoughts were straightforward.

"Don't come. War may break out soon," the three-eyed raven clone warned.

"What exactly is going on?" Leona asked urgently.

"I don't know. I heard that once everyone is gathered, they will attempt an attack," Tai'an replied casually, not caring much about what was happening outside.

"Xiao An, no slacking off or slacking off! I know you're really good!" Fu instructed seriously, "You must protect my sister's safety..."

"Are you kidding me! Your sister is the acting principal..." Leona heard that hope had already started the promotion process. Perhaps, she would return after the war to announce her official appointment.

The Three-Eyed Raven tilted its head noncommittally.

The continuous heavy rain has been ongoing.

Many people feel stuffy and have a sticky, uncomfortable feeling all over their body.

The demonic legions have a far greater impact than humans. The Abyss has no rain. Only occasionally does it rain highly corrosive ash or lava.

Almost all the demon races showed signs of lethargy and a decline in combat strength. However, thanks to their strong survivability and adaptability, they fully recovered in just a few days.

As both sides amass more and more troops, food and logistics have become a burden for each side.

Humanity can only continuously mobilize resources from surrounding areas.

The demons have it much easier; the solution is simple: eat the enemy. The entire Belland family territory, with its nearly two million inhabitants, is the best food source.

"Xiao An, you seem to have grown taller!" Tai Ya held up her hands behind Tai An's back, gesturing. Before, her hands were just right, barely resting on his shoulders, but now they were a little too short; she had to stand on tiptoe, which was really inconvenient!

After sending away his annoying older sister, Tai'an continued to immerse himself in the experience of being a celestial being. Now, the entry time has been further reduced to fifteen seconds.

He had a vague premonition. Perhaps only when his body reached the genetic limit of perfection could he instantly enter a state of immortality.

After that, a completely new phase began.

The boundless natural energy contained within the body is sufficient to activate the magnificent Dharma of Heaven and Earth, granting absolute power far surpassing that of all living beings.

……

The continuous rain gradually subsided. The dark clouds still lingered in the sky, suggesting a shower was likely sooner or later.

It was already mid-April before we knew it. The Academy's expeditionary force had been at the front lines for two full weeks.

The atmosphere of war is growing increasingly intense.

The Allied forces strengthened their military discipline, and the provocation Guts had anticipated never occurred. With a heavy heart, he mourned the passing of his former mentor, Lonne.

As the strongest student among all those present, Guss naturally became the representative and delivered a speech.

"It is my great regret that I could not be by your side to fight alongside you in your final moments. Please entrust me with carrying on your legacy."

What were supposed to be just some generic, meaningless platitudes were bound to happen. Long En's death was so sudden; he didn't even leave a last will or testament, so there couldn't possibly be any grand promises. His biggest commitment was actually to take care of his family. However, their relationship hadn't reached that point yet.

Guts took a deep breath, and a yellowish-brown aura rose from his body, its magnitude even surpassing that of Ron.

"I've broken through to the elite rank!"

The announcement was made in a calm and unassuming manner. While it didn't quite reach the heights of Aglaia's breakthrough in ranked matches, it still managed to create a slight ripple.

Everyone was racing against time to seek a breakthrough. The first to achieve this were two followers of the Blue Rose family. This inevitably raises suspicions that they possessed special cultivation resources.

Tai'an did not request that the news about the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill be concealed, and openly renamed it the Breakthrough Pill.

The news spread through Taiya and Qiye's channels. Immediately, all the major noble families sent people to inquire.

The Blue Rose family's publicly offered price is seven hundred gold.

The effect is to save three years of time for accumulating Qi and blood, extend lifespan by three years, and greatly increase the probability of breaking through bottlenecks.

It must be taken on the spot and cannot be taken away for research. Each person is limited to one pill.

Tai'an underestimated some people's financial resources. On the day the price was announced, no fewer than twenty people came to see them. Several buyers made breakthroughs in full view of everyone, and the scene immediately became abuzz.
