Chapter 247: Looking to the Students
After the meeting with Ri Xin, Li Lang and his group kept a low profile while The Dark Sea Arena had yet to start. They stayed in the Crucible, only exiting for supplies.
Everyone was busy with their own task.
The students who had broken through to Foundation Establishment Realm were brushing up on their techniques and contingency plans for when they operated alone. Wei Ping and Long Yi were doing the same, with more emphasis on personal combat techniques. It wasn’t that they were out of practice, but compared to old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years, they had a long way to go.
Meanwhile, Li Lang was zoned in on the new craft he decided to tackle, woodsmithing. He also studied various cultivation techniques that he had been stockpiling and interviewed his students regarding their experiences with their chosen attributes.
Through all these discussions, a few of the more curious students, like Xiao Dong, even decided to partake in the test to see if they were compatible with multi-attribute techniques. Their spiritual sea was already contaminated with the Qi type of their chosen element, but it was still possible to do the test, albeit the interaction between different types of energies would be affected.
They decided to go through with this test anyway because cultivation techniques could still be changed. Few did so, however, because picking up a new technique would reset all their progress. Those who were at the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm would be reverted to the early stage. It meant now was the best time to explore options, especially if they were even a little hesitant about their current path.
Now that their teacher opened them up to the possibility of practicing seemingly more sophisticated techniques that controlled multiple attributes, many of them couldn’t resist. After all, they were still young. People their age always wanted to tackle challenges to prove themselves.
However, the results were less than ideal. Among the six Foundation Establishment Realm students, none of them could maintain a stable absorption of Qi of different attributes.
“You two, are you still trying to master fire and water Qi?” Xiao Dong asked as he walked by two girls in the main hall of the Crucible. “You know, it’s been a whole week. If you don’t see any improvement yet, you should just settle for what you already learned. We’re already behind most people in our realm. We don’t have much time to waste.”
The two girls turned their sharp gaze at their fellow student.
“Teacher Li approves of our training. Please mind your own cultivation,” the more fiery one with short amber hair snapped back.
“Teacher Li is currently obsessed with matters relating to Earth-grade cultivation techniques. He approves because he just wants to see if the ability to cultivate two-attribute techniques can be trained, not because he believes you can do it.”
