chapter 13

After arriving before the old man each one began to show him his prowess. It began with Happy and Leslie, each of them began to cultivate and everybody feel the slight absorption coming from them, with that Mr. Mu deemed it as a success with a gentle smile on his face.

-« It's absolutely normal for a genius like me. » said Leslie even if everyone can see the little relief she's trying to hide but nobody said a word out of kindness and because that it was a little cute. After them came the turn of the fifth guy who seem to have a knife as a martial soul, from the moment that Xin saw him in the tent he only show an indiferent face but now we can see an obvious determination on his face with what seem to be cold sweating from his concentration but nothing happen when he tried to cultivate before old Mu.

Seeing that Mr.Mu deemed him with a bitter smile as failing, he became crestfallen, but he regain a little hope when old Mu said that in the future, he said to him that if he can understand this technique he can show him to enter the academy at a new awakening ceremony, considering that it happen each year he would still have his chance in the future.

And finally it was Xin's time, even if he know that he can cultivate, and even if he know that it wasn't much, he became nervous, so nervous that he nearly trip when he tried to reach old Mu, and obviously, everyone laugh at his expenses. He had a bitter smile, he just became a fool once again before the old man, it certenly didn't make a very good impression, but this has the effect of lessen the tension in the air which has been building after the beginning of the test and even more after the failling of the previous child.

After regaining his composure Xin walked with resolution toward old Mu and began to cultivate, obviously the effect was more obvious than his friend but not by munch, while he was absorbing the energies around him it countinued to build his foundation even push his cultivation a little bit further.

As a technique destined to building the foundation, aside that the explosive effects of the first time, the naturals effects are shown on a long période of time because it was acting on the depths, a seance of cultivation would not push his stats by 0,1 in 20 minutes anymore but he will advance more quicky in the next phase of cultivation than his friends.

And naturally old Mu said that he succeeded, happy, he goes enjoy with his friend while seeing the fourth child goes back to where he came from by the bus, while turning himsel he saw the kid that failes and they made a last eye contact but this time Xin could see a bitter expression on the verge of crying from him, it was understable from a boy so young from sufferring a so major setback.

-« Shall we go ? » asked old Mu nicely.

-« Yes senior ! » said the 3 children in a same voice.

And in front of them the famous academy appeared like a dream, it was an enormous campus with a style which remind Xin the SF stories from his previous life, we could see friends from 10 to 20 years old talkings among themself or eating together like if it was the campus of an university from back home.

-« You know » begin the old man « Here we are not like the other school, and it is not just by our techniques of cultivation or our subject of education, there is another motto here is : You are cultivating for living a better and longer life, so try to enjoy it or you will regret it. »

Even if it was a simple notion it was like a revelation to the three friends, a lot of cultivators tend to forget that but it was because of this idea that everyone begin to cultivate.

« Now I will show you your room and tomorrow we will discuss what you will want to learn. »

Old Mu led them to a fairly big building at the side of the SF building from earlier and place them to 3 bedroom, the number 1000, 1001 and 1002.

« I let you here and I will guide you tomorrow » said old Mu to them.

Then old Mu leave while the children thanks him.

While seeing the old man leaving, Xin took a quick look on his stats for checking how munch he improve normally in 20 minutes.

Name: Shenghuo Xin

Age: 10

Cultivation (Soul Strengh): Just began ( more information needed to categorize a precise information)

Strengh: 2.12

Vitality: 5.12

Skill: *Soul of qiqong* *Potential refinement*

Seeing this, Xin beemed in joy internally, suddenly smiling like a fool in public would have made him look like a fool. While seeing this improvement which was extremly quick , he woulf only need less than 2 hours to reach a new stage in strengh and vitality.

*Tips from the system : do you want to know ?*

Seeing this Xin accepted immediatly, who don't like help ?

*The cultivation slow down the more one cultivate, depending that the cultivation technique cultivated by the host, the limit of growth with this technique sould be reached when the host has 4 in strengh and 6 in vitality. With the information collected by the system, this sould be reached in 1 month.*

Being remainded by the common fact that the cultivation became slower and the close limit of the technique calmed Xin enough to calmy thinking of the close future.

Thinking that, the best solution should be to cultivate close aids or friends if he need of help in the future, and cultivating alone in the future would be boring for Xin. With this idea he turned in front of his new friends with a light smile.
