Chapter 688 It's Time to Improve
No one dared to underestimate Ye Kang anymore. Perhaps his cultivation level was low, but his mastery of formations had already earned Elder Zhou's approval.
The course was not over yet, and Ye Kang returned to his seat to continue listening to Professor Zhou's explanation.
He intuitively felt that many questions in his mind suddenly became clear, and his knowledge about modern formations also increased.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the academy, in a huge room, Dean Qing Songzi was smiling as he poured tea.
"Now that Hongxiu is the head of the academy, what brings you here?"
Qingsongzi pushed a cup of tea over and began to taste it himself.
Su Hongxiu had no interest in drinking tea. She chuckled and said respectfully, "Uncle Qingsong, I was just missing you. You used to hold me when I was little."
"Hahaha, you sure know how to talk. What, you came here to see that Ye Kang?"
Qing Songzi saw through her words, but Su Hongxiu shook her head: "Of course not, the main thing is to discuss with you the matter of setting up the training formation. But since that kid is here, you should at least give your opinion, right?"
Qing Songzi shook his head with a wry smile: "You, you've always been so clever and mischievous since you were little. Didn't you see it just now? That kid's move startled even Elder Zhou. He has a strong aptitude for formations. If he weren't from the Three Offices, I would definitely take him as my personal disciple."
"You're joking, sir. It's not too late to take it now, and it won't conflict with the Three Offices."
"What? You've come here to persuade me to take on a disciple?"
"What do you mean? I'm just hoping someone will take care of me in my old age."
"No need to worry, my old bones can still last for another thousand years or so."
Qing Songzi was speechless. He was a Nirvana Realm expert with a lifespan of over three thousand years.
Although he looks a bit old, it's too early to talk about retirement.
Su Hongxiu clearly wants me to pass on my skills to Ye Kang so that he can work for the Three Offices.
Of course, even though he saw through her little scheme, Qing Songzi wasn't angry.
After all, he was quite interested in Ye Kang.
Su Hongxiu continued, "Uncle Qingsong, you know that my situation in the Three Offices is very difficult. I was only able to become the head of the academy this year because I was demoted. So, I need to cultivate some confidants. Ye Kang has no background. If possible, I should try to recruit him into my own ranks."
Qing Songzi quickly waved his hand, even pretending to cover his ears: "Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to hear this. Don't drag the academy into your grudges between the three prefectures."
"You're so stingy. Then I won't hold back anymore. Lend me a killing formation. In a while, I'll take these little guys to the Broken Soul Mountain Range."
"You, you mustn't do anything reckless..."
……
Ye Kang was naturally unaware that the head of the academy had been paying attention to him all along.
Of course, it wouldn't be surprising if people knew about him. The reason he didn't hide his talent was to attract the Lord's attention.
Only by demonstrating your value can you obtain more resources.
For the next month, Ye Kang followed the routine of attending classes and cultivating.
A month of classes allowed him to break through to a new level in his basic knowledge of martial arts and formations, and his understanding of Kyushu also became much richer.
The learning of combat tactics also went smoothly.
The wok-flipping technique has been fully mastered, reaching the stage of proficiency.
Without the system's help, Ye Kang relied on his own talent to achieve minor success within a month.
This was also because his aptitude had improved several times, which gave him confidence. Of course, cultivation after achieving a minor success became even more difficult, and he still had to rely on the system.
In addition, he and Gao Fan and others also practiced the Bucket Combat Technique.
The five-person battle strategy is far more difficult than the single-person battle strategy. Currently, only Ye Kang and Gao Fan have grasped a little bit of the trick, while Dai Zijun and the other two are still struggling to figure it out and it is unknown when they will be able to master it.
Nevertheless, everyone truly witnessed the terror of the five-person battle technique; even in its rudimentary form, it could unleash power far exceeding that of the Nascent Soul realm.
No wonder the Three Offices are so powerful. With such a battle strategy, how dare those martial artists act recklessly?
Besides cultivation, Ye Kang also became familiar with his fellow students in his dormitory.
Besides Ye Kang, there are five other people living in the dormitory.
Currently, there are only four senior brothers: Huixin, Lu Zhian, and Ji Xiaohuan, and senior sister: Wei Liuhan.
It is said that there is another person, who is the senior sister of everyone. She entered the academy five years ago and has now reached the peak of the Star Luo Realm. She is terrifyingly strong.
That person is currently seeking an opportunity to attain Nirvana.
Among all the people in the dormitory, Ye Kang was the weakest. The rest of them, except for Hui Xin who cultivated a special technique, were all at the Star Luo Realm.
Ye Kang felt that his cultivation was not enough. Since Er Gong's cultivation had been completely perfected, he did not hesitate and went directly to Lu Zhi'an, who was refining pills.
"Senior Brother Lu, I'd like to find a place to break through my cultivation level. Do you have any recommendations?"
Lu Zhian, being a straightforward person, immediately said, "That's easy. I've rented a cultivation room right on the mountaintop. You can use it."
"That won't do. Since it's available for rent, I'll just go and rent one myself."
Lu Zhian immediately became furious: "You brat, whatever your senior brother says goes, understand! Stop talking nonsense and just go use it. In return, you can find me some alchemy materials."
"Of course, what kind of consumables does Senior Brother need?"
"I'm currently practicing the Dreamy Dream Pill and need some Dreamy Grass. Could you take a look and buy it for me? I'll give you spirit crystals in return."
"clear."
Ye Kang immediately nodded. Although he didn't know what the Misty Grass was, he had to get his hands on it no matter what since he had accepted his senior brother's favor.
He immediately followed the mountain path to the top of the mountain.
The main buildings of the academy are located on the mountainside, while the mountaintop contains some blessed lands and secret cultivation realms.
The academy's official cultivation room is also located up there, a cave carved directly into the cliff face, with a special array that absorbs the essence of the sun and moon daily, making it rich in spiritual energy and ideal for seclusion and breakthroughs.
Of course, it's not free.
Ye Kang took out the Scholar's Pendant, on which Lu Zhian had already left his scent.
The steward in charge of the cultivation room immediately recognized it and said, "Lu Zhian, you have rented a Grade A cultivation room. You have three months left. Just follow the guidance of the student and go in."
"Thank you sir."
Ye Kang bowed and left. Soon, led by Xue Zipei, he arrived at a precipitous cliff cave.
The cultivation rooms are divided into A, B, C, and D. The A-level cultivation room has at least four sets of spirit arrays for assistance, the spiritual energy is the purest, and the cultivation effect is the best. Of course, it is also the most expensive.
Ye Kang went inside, found a futon, and sat cross-legged.
There were other cultivation rooms nearby, each emanating its own aura, clearly indicating that someone was making rapid progress.
"Sure enough, everyone is working hard, and I can't slack off either; it's time to improve!"
