The Only Cultivator in a World of Hunters

Mark was stunned and couldn’t understand what was going on in time, so he could only look toward Nexus and the system. That fast? His first lesson was clearly very long. Could this be the difference between people?

Shouldn’t being the number one disciple come with better benefits? Why do I feel like I’m the one suffering the most?

Although he had never met White, Mark was certain that White passed the first lesson even more easily than Emily. No matter how he looked at it, only the number one disciple had to suffer the most.

What Mark thought was simply because he didn’t understand what White and Emily had gone through. The pain and loss he had experienced couldn’t even compare to a fraction of theirs. The number of times he had experienced death couldn’t even match their odd numbers.

"Are you sure you want to try? The difficulty will of course be equivalent."

Nexus smiled. That gentle smile somehow made Mark feel a chill down his spine. Mark was of course not stupid enough to think that Nexus and the system would design the lessons to be truly easy.

"You don’t need to feel confused. They have fought for many years, and they’ve seen far more terrifying things than you can imagine. They only lack the experience of death, so I don’t need to teach them as much as you."

Nexus gently patted Mark on the shoulder. As an excellent master, Nexus of course had no interest in abusing his disciples. Mark had to endure so many shocks at once simply because he lacked too much experience.

"I really am lacking experience..."

Other than being poor, he really was seriously lacking in everything else. Mark really had to admit this.

"Hey, so this is done, right? Give me that book."

Emily wiped away her sweat and immediately ran over to cling to Nexus. Her sparkling eyes stared at the book that was temporarily no longer in a material state, floating in front of her.

"Not yet. You must first reach the Qi Refinement realm before I’ll give it to you. Remember, you have to memorize the cultivation technique before you start."

The cultivation technique appeared out of thin air and fell onto Emily’s head. Something this small couldn’t possibly make her head hurt. Before the cultivation technique could even fall down, Emily had already caught it.

She didn’t rush to read it because she had heard Mark say that if she wanted to cultivate quickly, she needed spiritual herbs. Right now, she was thinking about where she should go to find spiritual herbs.

"I really want to read it right now. Master, can’t you reconsider a little? Just give me a little leeway."

Emily’s sparkling eyes made anyone who looked at her want to protect her. Mark immediately softened, but he didn’t know anything. As for Nexus and the system, they of course couldn’t be persuaded like this.

"No."

Receiving her master’s cold answer, Emily sighed and stopped acting cute.

"Alright then. I’ll cultivate, okay? Goodbye, Master. Goodbye, Mark. When I break through to the Qi Refinement realm, come study tea with me."

With that, Emily immediately ran away. Right now, she needed to report back first, then take the opportunity to ’borrow’ some spiritual herbs from Peter.

"Stop."

She hadn’t even run very far before Nexus grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back. Being grabbed and pulled through space like this made Emily dizzy at the absolute power of the master she had just accepted.

"Ma... master? I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong that deserves punishment, right?"

Being suddenly grabbed by the collar and pulled back like this, Emily could of course only think of the negative possibilities.

Based on her current impression, the punishment Nexus gave his disciples was definitely something extremely terrifying.

"What are you thinking about? You’re rushing off like that; how are you going to cultivate? System, give her a spiritual root."

"Spirit... spiritual root? Ah, right. Haha, sorry, I’m new to cultivation, so I forgot about this for a moment."

Emily’s mouth twitched slightly as she laughed awkwardly. Mark had just told her about spiritual roots, yet she had completely forgotten about them.

This couldn’t really be blamed on her either. Who could still stay sane and remember everything clearly after being killed several thousand times?

[Why are you looking at Nexus? Hurry up and beg this great system to grant you a suitable spiritual root. Otherwise, don’t blame me for giving you a trash spiritual root that cultivates slower than a crawling turtle.]

Seeing that the chance to show off had arrived, the system immediately became arrogant and smug in front of the new disciple of the Cultivation Academy. It wanted to let Emily know that in the Cultivation Academy, the system was number one. Nexus only knew how to make empty promises and wouldn’t give his disciples anything.

If Emily hadn’t realized by now that the system was someone who loved being flattered, then her brain really was useless. So she shamelessly started flattering it as much as possible to get the greatest benefits.

"Greatest system in the universe, great leader of the Cultivation Academy. This new disciple still has many shortcomings, so I humbly beg for your mercy. You are the eternal light that can lead me far, far along the path of cultivation."

Go far my ass!

Emily basically didn’t care about cultivation at all. She agreed to become a disciple only because of that book containing those incredible tea-brewing methods from across the universe.

[Hahaha, you really know how to behave. Keep it up and your future will be limitless. Although I can’t guarantee that you’ll become an angel or an immortal, letting you live for a few million years is extremely simple.]

The system’s spirit was already floating among the clouds. After hearing the flattery, it immediately laughed foolishly like this.

A beam of light shot into Emily’s body. Of course, this was a supreme-level spiritual root as well.

Supreme - Water Spiritual Root!

Emily’s body immediately became a little stronger after successfully merging with the spiritual root. For the first time in her life, she had such a strange feeling toward the tea she had made.

She could control the tea however she wanted. Whether it was flying into the sky or rushing rapidly toward the ground, she could do it, but this level was only enough to show off for fun and still couldn’t cause any damage.

"Thank you so much, system."

After thanking it, Emily hurriedly left. She couldn’t delay reporting to the chairman any longer.
