**************************************************************************************
The next morning was clear and crisp. The sounds of chirping birds came from the forest like beautiful music.
Morning fog covered the area as fresh air permeated the forest.
Following Ming Fei's map, the group easily found its way to their classroom.
They had to present their nameplates to some guards before walking into a courtyard.
Most of the students in their class already had already arrived, waiting for the teacher. Just as Jason and the group entered, everyone turned their attention on to them.
One youth who appeared roughly sixteen or seventeen years old walked over and asked, "Where are all of you from?"
Jason turned his head and glanced at the youth who appeared very conceited in his behavior.
"The Tiny World." He calmly replied.
"Oh? So you guys are the geniuses from the Tiny World? A 5-grade Heaven Spiritual Root, a 6-grade Heaven Spiritual Root, a 7-grade Heaven Spiritual Root, an 8-grade Heaven Spiritual Roots, and three 9-grade Heaven Spiritual Roots." The eyes of this youth flashed with a peculiar light as he continued, "I'm Jin Yan, a member of the Divine Feathers Sect's Jin Clan! Our family holds geniuses in high regard. If you're ever free, feel free to come and visit our place."
"Not interested." Jason ignored him and continued to walk ahead. The others followed him quickly.
He didn't have time to play nice with an insignificant weakling like the young brat.
Jin Yan's face was red with shame as he could feel the contempt in Jason's eyes for him. He couldn't control himself. He pointed his finger and yelled at him, "You're just a nobody from the Tiny World and you dare to humiliate someone from the Jin Clan? Let me tell you, even if you have-"
But before he could finish his sentence, Jason's figure blurred and appeared in front of him. He stared directly into Jin Yan's eyes and spoke. "Fuck Off!"
In these few seconds when Jin Yan glanced into his eyes, he saw a bottomless abyss filled with endless darkness. And in that darkness, two eyes were staring at him filled with bloodlust and killing intent.
When Jin Yan regained consciousness, his clothes were already drenched in his cold sweat. His body couldn't help but tremble in fear. When he raised his head to look ahead, Jason was already gone.
Few onlookers who saw this scene were confused, not clear why Jin Yan seemed so scared suddenly. They could clearly feel terror in Jin Yan's eyes. But Jason just stared into his eyes for a few seconds and did nothing else.
Jason and his group ignored everyone's weird stares and continued to chat among themselves until an old man arrived.
The old man swept his gaze over each student, and said, "Nice to meet you all, I'm your teacher, Venerable Redsoul. From now on, I'll guide your cultivation. Follow me inside and have a seat!"
Following Venerable Redsoul's lead, they entered a wide training room and sat with their legs crossed. Venerable Redsoul sat on the raised platform.
"In our class, we have a total of forty students, all from the new year. Every one of you has extraordinary talent and spiritual roots unattainable to ordinary people. However, I have to make myself clear. In here, you must obey my rules." Venerable Redsoul's gaze swept over everyone as he continued in an imposing tone, "All of you are geniuses, and, therefore, none of you here would want to fall behind anyone else. If you're a step behind, then you're behind in every step!"
At Venerable Redsoul's words, everyone looked at each other with a trace of enmity flashing through their eyes.
"All of you will meet here once every three days for my lessons. I will lecture you on cultivation and guide you toward breakthroughs. Aside from all that, our Skysoul Institute also has three training grounds, which I'll explain now," said Venerable Redsoul.
Venerable Redsoul explained in detail, "For an Earth Fate Realm to reach the Heavenly Fate Realm, one must harmonize with Heavenly Energy by sensing the Heavenly Dao. Everything that exists between heaven and earth is the same as Mother Earth: all formed from concentrations of Heavenly Energy…"
Everyone was listening attentively. Even Lu Piao pricked his ears up to listen.
A few hours later, it was time for the practical part of the lesson as the Venerable Redsoul asked them to form Spiritual Flames.
Normally, the most talented students would only be able to form one the size of a nail.
The white flame of Venerable Redsoul was the size of a fist.
Although Venerable Redsoul had easily ignited the Spiritual Flames in his right hand, the students didn't find it so easy. Even after extending their right hands for roughly half a day, they still couldn't ignite the Spiritual Flames. Everyone had their eyes closed and brows knitted to sense the anatta state.
Suddenly, a Spiritual Flame burst forth on the palm of the girl clothed in light blue. Although it was just a tiny wisp, she was still the first one who'd managed to ignite the Spiritual Flames. Furthermore, this Spiritual Flame continued to grow larger and larger and soon reached the size of a nail.
A brief moment later, Jin Yan also managed to ignite a Spiritual Flame. Although it was only the size of a pea, it was also very pure.
"Not bad." Venerable Redsoul praised as he nodded.
Thereafter, three more students managed to ignite the Spiritual Flames. One of them also managed to reach the size of a nail, which was a very astonishing talent.
Lu Piao failed to ignite the Spiritual Flames because of improper thoughts occupying his brain while others were able to easily do that.
Jason looked at everyone and smiled in satisfaction before extending his hand as a white flame condensed in his palm immediately. It was the size of a nail and continued to grow until it reached the size of a football.
Venerable Redsoul was speechless. 'This guy, Nie Li, from the Tiny World was the real monster!'
The old guy doubted his abilities if whether he could guide Jason at all or not.
As he detected the enmity in the eyes of some of the other students, he decided to seek advice from his master, who was one of the five Martial Ancestors of the sect, ending the lessons after telling everyone to continue to work hard.
As everyone stood up to leave, a girl walked toward Jason and his group. Her proud gaze fell on Jason as she asked, "You're from the Tiny World?"
Chen Linjian nodded his head. "That's right."
"So you all are the 5-grade Heaven Spiritual Root, 6-grade Heaven Spiritual Root, 7-grade Heaven Spiritual Root, 8-grade Heaven Spiritual Root, and three 9-grade Heaven Spiritual Roots from the Tiny World?" The girl asked as she studied Jason and others.
"You're not intending to do what that Jin Yan guy did earlier right? Trying to get us to join you and all?" There's nothing to be fussy about this girl's appearance; however, the subtle way she looked down on them made Lu Piao very unhappy.
