Chapter 168 Heading to Kyoto Prefecture
Meditation Tower.
"Hey, what brings you here to meditate?"
Qian Yi ran into Xiao Weiqing and asked in a low voice.
"Teacher Qian? You're here too. You're almost at the seventh realm, right? Is the Meditation Tower still of any use to you?"
As a spiritual cultivator at the peak of the sixth realm, the Azure Dragon Stele, the highest-level artifact in the Meditation Tower, had negligible effect on Qian Yi.
"Don't underestimate the Azure Dragon Stele. Different realms of understanding will bring different insights."
"Hey kid, don't change the subject. Answer me, didn't I give you that?"
Xiao Weiqing explained in a low voice, "I came here because Teacher Qian gave me that."
Otherwise, if my spiritual power grows too quickly but I don't come to the Meditation Tower, everyone will know there's something wrong with me. Methods of cultivating the soul are so rare; what if someone targets me?
Qian Yi nodded, "You little rascal, I didn't expect you to be so cunning."
"Teacher Qian, could you please call me by my name? Stop calling me 'brat, brat' all the time."
"Hmph, I like calling you that. You little rascal, I'll tell Wei Lan if you're not careful."
"Tell me if you want," Xiao Weiqing waved his hand and turned to walk into the meditation tower.
Fei Xiaobao asked in confusion, "Where did all 1018 contestants who qualified directly come from?"
Zhong Wen explained, "Each of the eight major universities has three direct admission slots, other universities have two, and the top 100 universities, as well as other outstanding universities with good strength, will also have one direct admission slot."
"Those people aren't strong enough," one of the students said.
This is the truth, and it's reality. Some extraordinary universities don't even have students with Level 4 extraordinary talent, and they're eliminated in the first round of the knockout stage.
Ning Xing said, "This is a decision made by the Extraordinary Education Department; let's not discuss it."
"What you need to do is perform well in the preliminary rounds these next few days and try to get more people to go to Kyoto Prefecture."
That's fine.
At this time.
Zhou Ming stepped forward and asked, "Who are the three direct-entry candidates from the academy? How were they selected?"
Zhong Wen said, "Xiao Weiqing, Qin Tian, and..."
"Duan Shuyu".
Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this, and had no objections.
However, there are exceptions.
"I want to challenge Duan Shuyu," Zhou Ming said.
Zhong Wen did not answer, but looked at Duan Shuyu.
I accept.
"Okay, is there anyone else who wants to challenge him? Beating these three will allow you to take his place and advance directly to the knockout stage."
No one answered.
"You may all leave now. Duan Shuyu and Zhou Ming, please stay."
The group left.
No one knows the details of Duan Shuyu's battle with Zhou Ming.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the list of representatives from Luojiang University to participate in this year's National Extraordinary University Exchange Competition was released on the university's official website.
It's still Xiao Weiqing, Qin Tian, and Duan Shuyu.
Various universities and extraordinary universities have been updating their lists one after another. If you look closely, you will find that half of these people are Level 5 geniuses who are ranked within the top 1,000 on the Heavenly Ladder.
the other side.
The online qualifiers are in full swing on the ladder. Everyone is giving it their all. Who wouldn't want to go to Kyoto Prefecture to show off their skills, especially with the generous rewards?
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Weiqing's mental strength successfully broke through level 30, and his physical body also broke through to the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm.
As his cultivation level increased, the speed of his spiritual energy, physical body, and mental power cultivation did not slow down at all; in fact, it was even faster than before.
In Xiao Weiqing's view, the cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit are mutually reinforcing and interdependent. Essence is the foundation, energy is the bridge, and spirit is the root.
The so-called essence can transform into qi, qi can replenish essence, essence and qi generate spirit, and conversely, spirit can control qi, and when spirit is at peace, essence is secure.
So, should extraordinary cultivation involve cultivating essence, energy, and spirit simultaneously?
"But why make such a clear distinction?"
"Is it that you can't do it, or that you don't want to?"
Putting aside distractions, Xiao Weiqing stopped thinking and continued to solidify his strength.
......
January 13, 2123, is an auspicious day for travel.
Ning Xing and Zhong Wen led the nine students out of the South Gate.
The nine students are:
Xiao Weiqing, Qin Tian, Duan Shuyu, Zhou Ming, Fei Xiaobao, Yin Tiantian, Huang Yitong, Zhuang Yu, and a student from the Central Academy named He Ren.
Jiang Peng was already waiting outside the south gate.
"Principal Ning, Dean Zhong, hello."
"Hello, fellow juniors."
"Hello, Senior Jiang."
"Are you ready?" Zhong Wen asked.
Jiang Peng nodded. "Ready, you can board."
The group boarded the flying vehicle and headed north.
......
A few hours later.
An aircraft bearing the logo of Luojiang Academy began its descent through the clouds.
Below the clouds.
On the vast plains.
A steel forest appeared, and even with Xiao Weiqing's current eyesight, he couldn't see the end of it.
"How big must this city be?" Fei Xiaobao exclaimed.
Below, in the city center, countless aircraft streaked across the sky, numerous yet orderly.
Jiang Peng said, "It's very big."
"When I first came here, I was also quite shocked. According to statistics, nearly 4 million people live inside."
"4 billion?"
"My goodness..."
Zhong Wen smiled and said, "The capital city of Great Xia, as the first capital city established after the revival of spiritual energy, has undergone five expansions and finally reached its current size."
"There are so many experts at the eighth level inside that you can't count them on two hands. It's also one of the safest places on Earth."
"Wow, Dean, won't the property prices here skyrocket?"
"Ha ha...."
Zhong Wen laughed, "It's not expensive if you contribute, but if you don't, it's astronomical and you can't live there permanently. The capital city is now consciously controlling the population because further expansion would bring us too close to the entrance to the demon realm."
"The first entrance to the demon realm on Earth?"
"Um."
"Let's go, we've arrived."
The hatch opened.
A group of people greeted them and then transferred to a hover train to enter Kyoto Prefecture.
Half an hour later.
"Everyone, this is your accommodation. Your university's name is on it. You can check in on your own. If you need anything, you can call the smart assistant."
"Thank you," Jiang Peng said.
"You're welcome."
"Hey, where are Dean Zhong and Principal Ning?" Fei Xiaobao asked.
Jiang Peng said, "They went to catch up with old friends, so they'll probably come back for the opening ceremony."
"Let's check in first."
