Chapter 12) teachers? No problem!!! Part 3

.....

Back at the dormitary, Xiao Han although felt the fluctuation of energy, ignored it.

*ding*

At the same time, Xiao Han heard his computer ring and upon opening it saw an email from the school.

"fashion department, fashion faculty's 5th department 2nd class students please take note: as teacher Ming Ren has been hospitalized and no replacements can be found, hence classes shall be suspended till further notice. Please notify one another and make appropriate preparations. Thank you."

"..." speechless, Xiao Han immediately realised what Sarah had done.

Turning around, he stared at Sarah who was smiling.

Being unable to say anything, he immediately booked 2 train tickets and decided to follow Sarah.

.....

At the train station, Sarah and Xiao Han boarded the train. During the train ride, Sarah was rather talkative and chatted with Xiao Han alot, she kept pestering on why and how Xiao Han had such an aura but he kept quiet. Due to their talk being something commonly seen in xianxia novels, most people whom heard it ignored them.

During the chat, Xiao Han had learnt many things about this worlds cultivation. Firstly is that rather then using the world ki to train, they train in spirit qi. In addition, they had 9 levels of cultivation.

They first started of at stage one called Dantian opening where one utilises their blood energy to fill up 3 apertures. They were the heart, eye and mind apertures after which they can start gathering spirit qi to temper themselves. This was stage 2 body refining, to gather spirit qi and temper the body and strengthen it. The 3rd stage was called fiendlord and is attained when ones strength is at its peak after body refining.

Stage 4 is to severe the spirit and enable it to imbue power to formations and activate flying swords.

Stage 5 is quasi spirit monarch when ones spiritual level is able to put pressure onto people. Stage 6 is spirit monarch. Stage 7 is venerable and stage 8 is spirit king. These stages from 4-8 is used to increase soul strength and also to increase a souls capacity for energy.

From stage 8 onwards, it becomes rather vague as stage 9 is world god and is said to be able to lift mountains easily and a single step can cause earthquakes and a single thought to wipe out armies.

In addition, martial skills were classified even more easily. There were 10 tiers in total, tier 1 was the weakest while tier 10 was the strongest.

Even though in this world, people trained differently from the martial world, there were still numerous similarities. One main similarity is that as their cultivation goes up, their lifespan increases dramatically. Another similarity is the goals of the cultivators in both worlds. They strived to be strong and stand at the top of their world.

But another interesting fact Xiao Han learnt was that rather his cultivation although at the primary ki gathering stage is possibly comparable to fiendlord's in term of brute strength. This is because as his level rises, his body will be automatically tempered. Hence normal ki gathering stages may match body refiners. But as Xiao Han trained in the flame scripture, his strength itself can be comparable with fiendlords.

It was also known that most sect leaders of renown sects would only be at the quasi spirit monarch level as venerables were rarely seen. It was also noted that 3 people were at the spirit monarch level in the chat group. One of them being nine flame monarch which was both the sect master of the nine flame sect and also the father of Sarah.
