Ms. Bai's face changed.
It was a harmless inquiry and Geng Xing was a registered Mage. Nothing should've happened. How strong was this Ampere to have launched a counterattack?
He must be beyond level five!
Level-five Mages were super experts whose spells could single handedly wipe out a whole city!
Monstrous!
Shen Zhe was a terrible student at the bottom of the lists, where did he pick up the theorems and laws left by such an expert?
"Let me try Tesla…"
After resting for a while, Geng Xing raised his eyebrow and pointed his fingers again as he cast a spell. "Don't worry. I'll only use half of my strength, so that I can be prepared for possible counterattacks…"
He had barely finished talking when the floor started to shake so shard that cracks were sprawling.
An even more powerful aura descended after that, as if the sky had fallen.
"What's going on?"
Geng Xing narrowed his eyes and stopped casting. He hurried to resist the pressure coming from the sky.
"Look…" said Ms. Bai quickly.
Geng Xing raised his head, only to see that the wall of white jade was scintillating. The clocks on the wall were also echoing simultaneously.
Hualala!
The books in the room were opened and their pages were turned at the same time, as if new things were being recorded. Then, they moved and laid toward the same direction.
"Inscription and admiration of a thousand books… Has a new theorem been created?"
Geng Xing was shaking as he squinted his eyes.
Ms. Bai also shook.
Many Mages had left laws and theorems behind, but most of their work was limited to a certain range. They couldn't affect all fields of research however good they were.
However, theorems that made so many books register and bow at the same time obviously applied to a very wide range!
"It's a theorem that changes the rules of cultivation!"
While they were still filled with disbelief, three old men had appeared in the room out of nowhere. They stared at the wall with grave faces.
"Mr. Zhang! Mr. Wu! Mr He!"
Geng Xing and Bai Yu hurried to bow at them.
The newcomers were exactly the dean and deputy deans of the Green Abyss Academy.
"A theorem that changes the rules of cultivation?"
Geng Xing changed his face.
The rules of cultivation had been tested by countless predecessors and barely had any loopholes. For someone to be able to break the rules was beyond their imagination.
"Such a theorem will change the current situation and even break the boundaries of the human body. That's why it makes all the books record and admire…"
Dean Zhang said in a low voice, "It happened fifty thousand years ago, when Saint Master Huang Di established the nine levels of sorcery!"
"It happened thirty thousand years ago, when Saint Master Lao Zi created the concept of Seven Stars and the ways to train with the power of the stars!"
"It also happened twenty thousand years ago, when Saint Master Hua Ying compiled the Supreme Book of Medication!"
…
"So many years have passed since it last happened. Every such incident foreshadows the prosperity of mankind. I didn't expect to see it happen now!" said Dean Zhang in shock.
Not everyone could create a law that was followed by thousands of laws. The law had to agree with the Heavenly Truth!
Clenching his fists, Dean Zhang said, "Let's see what it is first…"
Crack! Crack!
Three words appeared on the white jade wall; they had a vintage air, as if they had come from thousands of years ago.
Stage of Unity!
"Is this… about body polishing? The eighth stage for the Body Practitioners?"
"Someone has created an eighth level… The Stage of Unity makes it easier to become a Connate and sheds new light for the cultivators whose grades are bad… I'm afraid that body polishing will be the new trend!"
Dean Zhang was dazed and appalled.
The seven stages of body polishing had been determined tens of thousands of years before. However, someone had redefined them and created an eighth stage!
It broke the shackles in cultivation and ushered in a new epoch.
It wasn't hard to foresee that body polishing would be very popular once the news was out.
"Find out which Mage created this… Whoever reaches the eighth stage of body polishing will naturally become his disciple and cannot attack him!" said Deputy Dean He.
Once a law or theorem was confirmed by nature and announced to the world, its proposer would be honored. Whoever studied the rule he set up would automatically become his disciple.
If the disciple intended to kill him, the disciple would be punished by nature.
It was a privilege and a benefit endowed by nature. Even the strongest Mage was unable to nullify it.
Nodding his head, Dean Zhang pointed at the wall, but he spewed out blood and retreated a moment later, just like Geng Xing did.
"This Saint Master would rather not give his name to us…"
Even Dean Zhang couldn't find out the guy's name.
"He must be extraordinarily strong to create a new stage of cultivation. It's only reasonable that he doesn't want to divulge his name!" said Deputy Dean He, "However, we need to reorganize our body polishing class now. Where can we find suitable teachers?"
"I think we can hire more teachers. But first of all, we need to check the students' aptitude. How about this? We'll hold a contest three days later! Both physical strength and the power of stars are allowed. The top three will be given herb liquid made by Mr. Xin Qi personally, and will be qualified as Mages or Martial Artists in advance!"
Dean Zhang said, "Also, promote the eighth stage of body polishing and encourage students to try it. If any of them can reach the eighth stage, we wouldn't be left behind by other schools like we always are!"
"Alright, I'll inform them!" Deputy Dean He nodded.
Bai Yu slightly shivered while she witnessed the school's change in cultivation strategies.
She only went there to inquire about some names. She didn't expect to see that.
Changing the rules of cultivation and creating the eighth stage of body polishing…
Who was this Saint Master?
Her heart raced and her eyes were filled with passion.
It was truly lucky for her to live in the same age as a rule-changing Saint Master!
She truly wished that she could meet the Saint Master once in her life.
…
The same situation was happening in the Startling Bird Kingdom's Startling Bird Academy.
The headmaster ordered, "Gather the students who have strong bodies and focus on them…"
…
In another academy found in a far-flung kingdom…
"The eighth stage of body polishing… I have to reach it!"
A student clenched his fists firmly.
"You're already at the peak of the seventh stage. It shouldn't be hard for you to break the last obstacle…" said another student as he smiled.
"Let's hope so…"
The first student raised his eyebrow and said, "Tell everyone that I'm going to train in seclusion from here on and will not come out until I reach stage eight…"
…
"The eighth stage of body polishing has been created? Haha. Pengyue is truly a lucky kid…"
Someone laughed in Liu Pengyue's house.
The patriarch of the Liu family was excited. He waved his hand and demanded, "More dogs!"
"Noooo…"
Liu Pengyue then cried non stop as if he were a pig being butchered.
The same thing was happening in Wang Xiaofeng's home.
His family didn't have that many dogs so they had to make up for it with additional bodyguards. Cries were also bursting out.
The patriarch of the Wang family wept.
"Son, hang in there. This is all for you…"
…
Many people had a sleepless night after the change in body polishing.
Body Practitioners, the least appreciated profession, was the most heated topic that night.
Shen Zhe was completely unaware of all that, the bonafide creator of the topic. He was too busy staring at the glowing stars in his body and fantasizing.
"Where are the other five stars? How can I find them? Is it possible that the Seven Stars are not the limit and I can illuminate eight or even more? It seems that I need to train myself hard and try it in the future!"
