Chapter 19: Cultivation rank
Inside the Academy:
The atmosphere in the classroom was unusually heavy. Every student of the current batch sat at their desk, wearing expressions of deep seriousness. Among them, one figure glared resentfully in Wang Ming's direction. However, Wang Ming, fully aware of the hostility directed at him, simply ignored it, as if it weren't worth his time.
At that moment, the door opened, and a figure in grey and white robes stepped into the room.
Deputy Academy Elder Wang Kai had arrived.
At once, the students rose from their seats and bowed respectfully, including the three most gifted of them, the rare third-grade talents. Elder Wang Kai nodded, waving his hand in a brief gesture of acceptance before walking to the front of the class.
Originally, the academy had intended to assign a regular teacher to this new batch, just as they had done for countless years. But after the clash that took place yesterday and the extraordinary potential shown in the talent awakening by the three disciples , the higher-ups made a rare decision ,an Elder would personally guide them.
Wang Kai's gaze swept across the class and briefly paused on Wang Ming. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes before he shifted his gaze away, pretending it never happened.
Then, he began his first lecture.
"The path of a Formation Master begins with absorbing nature's energy into the body and tempering oneself. This preliminary phase isn't officially considered a rank, but everyone must pass through it. It is known as the Zeroth Level Formation Apprentice," he explained, his voice calm and clear.
