Arriving at Zongying

Mu Yue already reached the Middle level 7th step Qi Condensation stage. This was because of her absorbing the Moonlight Tear. She also does not need to waste time being stuck at the Peak level of the 6th step as she could breakthrough as long as she is using the Lunar Cultivation Method.

This made Xiao Yan get surprised at Mu Yue's cultivation speed. The gap between their cultivation level should have slowly increased yet it did not. She has reached the Late level 7th step Qi Condensation stage, only one level above Mu Yue.

Similar to Mu Yue, Xiao Yan has also absorbed treasures that could nourish her body and improve her cultivation speed. However, these treasures are only those that could be absorbed in the Qi Condensation Stage.

Mu Yue, on the other hand, could absorb any treasure regardless of the level so long as the treasure is related to the moon like the Moonlight Tear. Coupled with being able to absorb the energy in the moonlight, her cultivation speed is now on par to Xiao Yan's.

The next day, the teacher leads them towards a flying ship. The flying ship then flew towards the location of Zongying.

The real Zongying was located inside the capital of Shi Zu Kingdom where two other schools were also located. This was because the capital of each kingdom has the best defenses.

Why do they need to go to the location of Zongying? It was because the Foundation Establishment students will be attending a similar tournament.

The principal wanted the Qi Condensation students to meet their seniors. The selected Qi Condensation students were also expected to become a real Zongying student so the principal let them see what the school looks like.

Both of their tournaments will happen at the same time but the tournament of Qi Condensation students will happen first. Their tournament also finishes fast while the tournament of Foundation Establishment students takes longer to finish.

"We are now approaching Zongying!" The teacher announced. Their ship was already inside the airspace of the capital.

The capital was large enough to be able to contain 3 schools of cultivation. It was also surrounded by tall walls.

From their ship, they could see the forests in the west and mountains in the north. The south and east contain roads as well as farms.

The capital was placed here because the forest on the west side was one of the largest while the mountain in the north provide mines. Because it was near a large forest, it also suffers from beast tides which the capital repels.

Zongying has a lot of buildings compared to the school they are currently attending. There were also platforms where the students can battle each other. They also saw an unfamiliar area and when they asked the teachers, the teachers only said, "You will know when you truly become a student of Zongying."

When the ship landed, the teachers then led the students towards the buildings where there are spare rooms that they will temporarily occupy.

"You all will stay here for quite some time. The selections for the Foundation Establishment students will start tomorrow. This was also one of the reasons as to why you are here. We want you to observe how they fight and learn from them."

"You are free to do what you want for today. You can go around the school but you must not provoke anyone here nor go towards the area that you all kept asking us."

The students then chose the rooms they will occupy. As usual, Mu Yue and Xiao Yan share a room. After fixing their room, Xiao Yan said, "Mu Yue, let's go around the school. Some more months and we will reach the Foundation Establishment which will make us the students of this school. After that let us pay a visit to the principal."

They then went out of the room to explore. The Foundation Establishment students saw two girls walking side by side. No one bothered them as these students were already warned by their teachers.

They quickly got bored looking around as they were not allowed to go inside the buildings nor buy stuff. They then decided to ask for directions to where the principal was currently staying.

They then opened the door and saw the principal doing paperwork.

Xiao Yan was about to speak when Mu Yue covered her mouth. Mu Yue knows that Xiao Yan's greetings were quite disrespectful and she doesn't want that to happen.

She also doesn't want to bother the principal and have him stop what he was doing. She dragged Xiao Yan to the sides and they both took a seat while waiting for the principal to finish what he was doing.
