Wearing a leisure suit, Jack Clark returned to school at around nine in the morning.
“Jack, over here.”
In the Office Building, Sylvia Lyons, who was not far away, waved to Jack: “Lori Parma has been closed-door training for over a week and asked you to find me when you get back.”
“… No wonder I couldn’t find her. I’ve troubled Teacher Lyons.” Jack was taken aback by not being able to find Lori.
“It’s no problem; let’s go.”
Sylvia stood up and led Jack towards a building in the back.
“Advanced skills are different from low-level martial arts. They involve martial intent, and simple pupil image transmission can only transfer content below the Fourth Layer Heaven.”
“Complete advanced inheritance or content above the fourth level requires the use of the True Martial Stone Tablet.”
On the way, Sylvia detailed to Jack the precautions to take when inheriting advanced skills.
Soon, the two arrived in front of a square building ten meters high.
There were not many people around, but when Sylvia entered, she underwent identity verification five times in a row.
At the same time, while verifying her own identity, she registered Jack so he could come in by himself next time he wanted to exchange other advanced skills or martial techniques.
Entering the building, the two walked through a long corridor and finally arrived at the Central Lobby.
In the middle of the lobby, a ten meters high, gray stone tablet stood emitting a heavy aura, the invisible oppressive force giving Jack palpitations.
“Don’t mind it; the True Martial Stele has no offensive power. That invisible oppressive force is the True Martial Will left by some strong men.”
“Alright, go over there and activate the True Martial Stone Tablet after verifying your identity.”
As instructed by Sylvia, Jack approached the activation device on the side wall.
“Welcome to the Heavenly Intelligence System, please input your student ID for facial recognition and pupil verification…”
“Identity verified. Please choose the cultivation method to learn.”
“You have chosen Advanced Dragon Elephant Skill. Learning requires 11+
Permission, 300 Contribution Points…”
“Requirement met. Dragon Elephant Domination Will activating…”
Hum!
Accompanied by a prompt sound, a pure energy flowed into the gray stone tablet along the ground pathway.
Suddenly, the stele vibrated slightly, and many patterns on it lit up. A True Martial Will was activated soon after.
Roar!
A roar like the combined sound of a dragon and an elephant rang out in Jack’s mind, terrifying and oppressive as if a true dragon had descended. The sound shook his will slightly.
Sylvia continued: “Go ahead, put your hand on the True Martial Stele and swear, ‘Never betray the Human Race.’ Then you can inherit the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body.”
“Also, the stele will take a wisp of your soul breath as proof of being an elite of the human race during the pledge. This wisp of breath will not harm you, so don’t be afraid.”
Soul breath?
Suppressing the impulse to accept the inheritance immediately, Jack turned back and looked at Sylvia with a puzzled expression: “Teacher, is it really necessary to go through all this trouble just to exchange one advanced skill?”
Jack didn’t know what soul breath was, but he knew that anything involving the soul must be important.
In response to Jack’s inquiry, Sylvia gave a wry smile: “In fact, it wasn’t so troublesome before. Even if one had only cultivation talent, they could choose any cultivation method they wanted, regardless of whether it was high-level or low-level.”
“Because in that era, every person with cultivation aptitude was extremely precious.”
“But over a decade ago, due to a person’s betrayal, the official began to vigorously reform, setting various thresholds and requirements, including the current school system.”
“Who was that person? Such a huge impact.” Jack was shocked.
With a complex tone, Sylvia said: “He was a genius.”
“A genius!”
Jack paused, then asked doubtfully: “Since he was a genius, why did he betray the human race? Were his parents persecuted and killed from a young age, and he also suffered from social injustice?”
Betraying the ‘Human Race’ was different from betraying a country or Federation.
The latter targeted a specific system, whereas the former was directed against the entire ‘human’ race, just like the Blood God Sect, which merged blood seeds to kill and improve their strength.
Moreover, his betrayal changed the various education rules throughout the Federation and made it exceedingly difficult for Jack to cultivate advanced skills.
Sylvia shook her head: “The Federation and the school didn’t wrong him, and his parents were also alive and well back then. They were both renowned high-level cultivators, and their family was happy and harmonious.”
“Besides, his monstrous talent was extraordinarily terrifying. He was not an Innate Awakened One, but more terrifying than one. He reached Ninth Heavens in one year.”
“… Wait, Teacher, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake? Ninth Heavens in one year!” This time, Jack was truly astonished.
It had been almost five months since he started to practice True Martial, and he had only reached the late stage of Third Layer Heaven, even with his attribute points.
With his mediocre talent, Jack knew that if he normally practiced, he might have barely broken through the Second Layer Heaven now, and it would take him at least one to two years to reach the Third Layer Heaven.
However, the person who betrayed the human race reached the Ninth Heavens in one year!!
Sylvia looked at Jack, seemingly very satisfied with his stunned expression, and nodded: “You heard me right; that person was indeed that monstrous.”
“He enrolled in school and chose an advanced skill called the Profound Heaven Sword Scripture. It was a special sword scripture that emphasized comprehension and enlightenment.”
“Initially, his cultivation progress was slow, taking almost three months to break through the First Layer Heaven. But then he exhibited his terrifying talent, advancing a Layer every month.”
“In just a few months, he broke through the Sixth Layer Heaven’s limit and even created subsequent cultivation methods, breaking through to the Ninth Heavens in one breath..”
