~Guo Family Announces World's License Exam with Exclusive Military School Scholarships~
"Whoa!"
Xue Fang was surprised, what this meant was that luck was on his side after all, he wouldn't have to wait for two whole years.
"Guo family? Guo...."
That name rang a bell.
Immediately, Xue Fang felt demotivated.
"Well, it isn't that he is the one giving out the license, it is his father, there shouldn't be any problem"
Xue Fang thought about Guo Zhenyu.
"What the hell is Exclusive Military School scholarship, to hell with that"
Xue Fang gazed at the paper intensely.
"Half bread is better than none"
He shrugged.
Xue Fang placed the newspaper down and brought out his laptop.
Clicking away to the registration website, he checked the day the registration would end.
"Just a day? And tomorrow is the exam?? Amazing! Such many people have already registered, I better hurry"
Seeing the total number of entrants surpassing hundreds of people, Xue Fang hurried up and registered.
Xue Fang checked the terms and conditions.
~Applicant will have to accept admission into Royal Bird Military Academy~
Seeing the benefit of being a military student, Xue Fang couldn't help but lick his lips.
"It wouldn't hurt becoming a military student"
Aside from the monthly salary for the duration of four years as a military student, upon graduation, students would be given a free realm in the HighRealms, realms in the HighRealms are full of resources, for a moment, Xue Fang eyes reflect the dollar sign.
And if the students managed to claim a realm, the realm they would receive would be a higher level one than the one they have claimed.
According to research, defeating a soul ruler and claiming a realm was never an easy task, the abilities of a Soul Ruler could be profound, depending on the level of the realm.
Xue Fang checked his examination venue.
"Tomb of Kings? In Jade Spirit City?"
Xue Fang's jaw nearly dropped as if his jaw muscles had worn out.
Tomb of Kings was a location classified as Baron-grade, only Hunters with at least 200 enhancement levels would be able to survive there.
"Is this a suicide mission?"
Xue Fang wondered aloud.
During the dark times, when Soul Rulers saw humans had started standing their ground against mobilized armies and many colonized regions were reclaimed, King-Level supernaturals were mobilized by Soul Kings, and many awakened hunter lives were lost since these creatures possessed unparalleled battle prowess, and was stronger than the enhanced level of the Hunters of those times.
But it seemed these creatures had also expended their life force in the fight, thanks to cosmic body arts evolved from ancient long forgotten theories of martial techniques by genius professors which act as hacks for hunter's Soul Will, enhancing them to higher levels, while they unlock powerful skills.
The Tomb of Kings was later built by lower-level supernaturals, but these Supernaturals were defeated easily by surviving Hunters and human territories were reclaimed.
There were many Tomb of Kings, and it seemed this was one of those that was still uncleared.
It was classified as Baron-grade because of the Baron-level supernaturals used as guards in these tombs.
"Even though there are hundreds of entrants, those who would drop out would be many since the venue was only revealed after the registration"
"Well, I really need the license, can't wait for two years"
Xue Fang's saving grace was his rare skill, the ability to appraise entities, he planned to avoid any obstacle that couldn't be dealt with during the exam, however, his mind seemed to be restless against entities who could conceal their presence and information, Xue Fang level one appraisal skill would need work on those.
According to research, when one could harness their Soul Will, they would be able to exude aura, and with training or even certain unlocked skills, they would be able to conceal themselves totally and also their information from those with appraisal skills of certain levels.
The appraisal skill also has its limitations, like how it could only display the target's key information like race, enhancement level, and status.
Other key information about targets like their name, unlocked skill, unlocked bloodlines, Soul avatars, Soul Coins, and lifespan were out of the details.
Although Xue Fang had taken all this into consideration, he still felt he had to take the exam.
Xue Fang checked the time.
"Fifteen hours left"
He realized he had been on the matter of Soul Will and the exam since the time he had woken up.
"Can I level up with Old Li's Cosmic body arts? It seemed it was too potent for my body, just practicing for several seconds made me pass out yesterday, the requirement is even vague since I didn't know my enhancement level"
Dread washed over Xue Fang. Cosmic body arts have many stages. In his current knowledge, he would be at the first stage, where his body had just started absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and Earth while undergoing refinement. At this stage, one still needed to breakthrough ten levels before reaching the next stage.
However, Xue Fang found it frightening to practice, given what he had endured the previous day. Deep down, the fear of suddenly becoming permanently disabled gnawed at the core of his mind.
"There is still work to be done"
Xue Fang's mind wandered to the Yang Spirit tea farm, working manually on it was enough to break one's back, even if Xue Fang could use his enhancement state, he would still end up exhausted after the work, only specialized farming robots are used for farming on supernatural species of tea plant like Yang spirit tea.
Since the ones available needed repair, Xue Fang had been careworn lately.
Some rich agricultural enterprises would even buy Soul Avatars capable of working on a farm, but those were even costlier than specialized farming robots.
Yang spirit tea is a type of plant harvested from the HighRealms and cultivated in the human world, they are known for their benefit of enhancing the flow of vital energy and also extending one's life span, the older the person was when they started drinking the tea, the longer their life span gets extended.
Lately, Xue Fang was planning on expanding the farm and creating Yang spirit pills, although this was only an ambition since it would require a lot of capital, but now that he was capable of entering the HighRealms to hunt, Xue Fang dispelled the ambition.
"Since I would be getting an education as a military student, I don't need to focus on expanding the Yang spirit tea farm business, I could employ people to manage it for me"
