324: Go to America

Chapter 324

Inside the Principals Office.

Li Heng held a cup of hot tea, his gaze seemingly piercing through the walls, landing on the bustling square in the distance.

Watching Fang Yuan, who was flustered by Frieren's clumsy object manipulation flight technique, a smile curved on his lips.

"A Deity Bloodline is indeed extraordinary."

He mused to himself.

In just three days, Frieren had already thoroughly mastered the Cultivation Technique he had modified, the power of her Divine Soul and Physical Body merging, and she had already touched the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In a few more days at most, she would successfully Breakthrough.

This speed, even among the Prodigies of Kunlun Academy, was enough to rank among the forefront.

"It seems my conjecture was correct."

Li Heng put down his teacup, his eyes deepening.

The so-called "Demonic Technique" Cultivated by Xuan Xi, Xi Ci, and those other evil devils, after his deduction and completion, and then Cultivated by Frieren, who possessed a Deity Bloodline, actually displayed such astonishing effects.

How could this be a Demonic Technique?

This was clearly the true Human Race Cultivation method from the Primeval Era, which had been severed!

"The Authorities..."

Li Heng's fingers tapped lightly on the desktop, a chilling intent swirling in his eyes.

First, they used heaven-defying means to sever the Human Race's Cultivation Foundation, locking down the potential of the Human Race Bloodline.

Then, they threw out two castrated, incomplete methods that could never reach the peak, leaving the Human Race to struggle for tens of thousands of years in a quagmire of infighting and becoming blood food for demons.

What an astonishing deception spanning countless ages!

What a "The Authorities" that viewed all living beings as mere sacrificial dogs!

The killing intent in Li Heng's eyes was more intense than ever before.

This organization must be completely eradicated from this world!

...Inside the male dormitory.

Liu Lian slowly withdrew his Qi, opened his eyes, and let out a long, turbid breath.

He felt the surging spiritual energy within his body, yet there was no joy, only a look of irritation.

"Sigh!"

He sighed heavily, looking at Han Li, who had also finished his Cultivation, opposite him.

"Old Han, when do you think I'll finally Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage?"

"Look, that guy Lin Xiao is already a Golden Core, and Fang Yuan, Zhang Qiqi, even that girl Lu Miaomiao has Broken through in Japan! Only I'm still stuck at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, I've been stuck so long I'm practically polished! It's driving me crazy!"

Han Li opened his eyes upon hearing this.

He calmly looked at the anxious Liu Lian and shook his head.

"You're just too impatient."

"On the path of Cultivation, impatience is the biggest taboo. The more you want to Breakthrough, the more solid that barrier becomes."

Liu Lian pouted, unconvinced: "I understand the reason, but..."

"No buts."

Han Li interrupted him, his tone still calm.

"Have you forgotten what my Aptitude was like during the initial selection? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I was last, right?"

"But what about now?"

"Haven't I also caught up with everyone's progress step by step through arduous Cultivation? I've even gone further than some people with better Aptitude than me."

"Cultivation is like drinking water; only you know if it's hot or cold. Others' paths are, after all, others' paths. You have to find your own Dao."

Han Li's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Liu Lian's anxious heart.

He froze.

Yes.

When did he start becoming so eager for quick success?

Was it when Lin Xiao's "Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate" became famous throughout the world? Or when Fang Yuan's "Golden Core in one step" amazed everyone?

He had been chasing, constantly comparing, afraid of being left behind by others.

But he had forgotten that his original intention for Cultivation was to pursue the ethereal immortal Dao, to ride a sword on the wind, and to freely exact vengeance.

Not to compete with anyone.

His Dao Heart was in disarray.

Liu Lian remained silent for a long time, the impetuousness on his face gradually fading, replaced by a hint of enlightenment and determination.

"Old Han, you're right."

He stood up and paced back and forth in the dormitory.

"My state of mind is the problem."

"No, I need to go down the mountain. Cultivating behind closed doors won't lead to a Golden Core; I need to go out and explore, find my Opportunity, and temper my Dao Heart!"

Seeing that Liu Lian had finally come to his senses, a smile also appeared on Han Li's face.

"That's right."

He nodded in support.

"Everyone's path is different, and the Opportunities for Breakthrough are naturally varied. The Academy no longer strictly restricts students' freedom as it used to, so you can go down the mountain for experience whenever you want."

"However..."

Han Li's tone shifted, teasing.

"You'd better think it through; the Dean's weekly Q&A session is a huge Opportunity. If you miss it, don't come crying."

A large part of the reason why most students in the Academy chose to stay on the mountain to Cultivate diligently was not to miss Li Heng's weekly public lectures for various departments.

That was personal guidance from a Body Integration Stage Great Perfection expert; one session could be worth a year of fumbling around on their own.

Liu Lian, however, waved his hand, his expression more resolute than ever.

"It's decided!"

"I'm going down the mountain first thing tomorrow morning!"

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Han Li no longer tried to persuade him, only nodded and asked.

"Have you thought about where you're going?"

Where to go?

Liu Lian stopped pacing and thought seriously.

Within the Dragon Country, with the Academy and The Authorities' Special Affairs Department in charge, most of the demons and evil spirits had been cleared out, unable to stir up any trouble.

In Japan, Lin Xiao and Fang Yuan had just swept through, leaving only small fry, which wouldn't provide much in the way of experience.

Where could he find a real challenge, a chance for Breakthrough?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

There, there was a completely different transcendent system, world-famous superheroes, and a free yet chaotic land.

Going there might yield unexpected gains!

Liu Lian's eyes instantly lit up, and a wild smile spread across his lips.

"I've decided!"

"To America!"
