It's been a week since I started studying at Eastsea Academy. The studies were just the same as Elementary Academy but in a more detailed and broader themes than the Elementary Academy.
There was no Wu Zhangkong or something nor was there any Kakashi intro or Shanks speech. The teacher looked quite uninterested in the classes, just the combat one. The other studies were normal; no, better than before. Even the way they teach history was amazing as I was listening to all of this with interest. Maybe I should better pay attention to history. I have just read the novel but reality was different.
Maybe.
The past may have the answers to my questions.
Lunch came. I was sitting in the corner drinking vegetable soup and stir fried veggies. Out of more than a hundred expensive spiritual dishes there are only two Vegetarian dishes. These too were made because of the demand of a female teacher to eat low fat food to look good.
Nonsense. Just training without enough food can make a person skinny and her Martial Soul was hippo. How the heck can she turn into a skinny person from that? Maybe she can, I don't know?
So for the past week I have been eating these dishes but even then I didn't feel tired of eating this. The taste of these dishes were fresh, like I am eating it the first time. It must be the work of spiritual ingredients or that Chef who is smiling towards me.
I smiled back.
I couldn't eat anymore after eating three bowls of vegetable soup and one plate of stir fry veggies. That's my limit. I need to go out and use my skill to digest the food.
For the past week I am eating these dishes and using my Soul skill to absorb it completely. This increased my cultivation speed to three times of what my current cultivation speed was. This was after I came to Eastsea Academy and got a better cultivation skill for sure. If I keep going at this speed then I would be able to reach Soul Grandmaster level in around two and a half years.
It's fast, far faster than my previous cultivation speed but it is not enough.
If only that Alliance Officer was not on my back, I would have bought a better one from the market.
I need to be at least level 27 to 29 if I want to get selected at Shrek Academy.
Entering the school with low soul power level is impossible. The Soul Power isn't just simple level but each level adds strength and power. The difference can't be seen in one or two levels but if the difference is of four or five levels then it's one sided if the opponent in not a super genius.
The students who came to Shrek are all the best cream of the crop of their respective schools. Underestimating them is just plain stupid.
Even Wulin was able to fight them on equal grounds only after his third ring and second dragon awakening.
I didn't have any choice. I needed to increase my strength faster.
Test no.7. That was the second test that succeeded in increasing my Soul Power. The procedure of this test was to eat till the stomach feels a little bloated and then to again sometime again. As the stomach had extra space for food because of the already digested food. In one day I could eat five days worth of food but it has one drawback.
Excess energy.
I nearly died the last time I test it on myself. The energy was rampant in my body. It was destroying it from inside out.
Basically Electro from The Amazing Spiderman. He got overcharged and then exploded.
My situation was not that big. It was slow death. Instead of my body exploding in a mush of organs and flesh, only my artilleries burst.
That was dangerous. I would have died if I was in my old world. Fortunately this world had high class doctors and Spirit Masters.
If I tried that way my cultivation speed would be double of my current speed. And I would be able to reach Soul Grandmaster level in just 1 year and a half. Maybe even faster.
I never had a choice to begin with.
*Three weeks later*
In a small forest of Eastsea Academy.
A tanned kid of around 11 or 12 was panting heavily while laying down on the ground. He was covered with blood and dirt are over his body. Broken wood can be seen all around him all of them were stained with blood. If someone were to pass by this place then they would scream in horror as the scene was quite gory.
'It had been three weeks. I have been doing combat practice every night in the forest behind the Eastsea Academy.
The first few days, I thought of giving up. Even now I do. It was too tiring, the pain didn't go away. It increased even more the next-day while training. But what's worse is that if I didn't train and tire me out then I would die and worse than last time.
I was regretting my decision to do this. But I didn't stop. It wasn't the fear of dieing this time. It was the fear of not being able to do anything , to change anything, be it the past or the present. I hate this helplessness. I hate myself for being weak. He was living that without complaining for just a single thing in his life. He was living a life worse than it.
He didn't give up. Even after he died. Nor did she. So how can I give up?
I can't give up. I won't give up. This time I will change it. Change it as I want.
*One month later*
In the forest behind the Eastsea Academy
A kid was laying down. He was covered in blood and dirt. But this time he was smiling, laughing too at times.
The Moon hung in the sky make it seem like a maniac crazy laughter in the midnight.
Finally. Finally that officer returned to the headquarters after arresting 27 criminals and announcing them as the criminals behind of Glorybound City massacre.
I am finally free from his clutches. The people he arrested were all serial criminals so I have no guilt about it.
Now the things I needed to do was to book a place in Spirit Ascension platform in Spirit Pagoda. Book at least 12 to 15 seats for the coming three years. And then to confirm my guess.
Secondly I needed to find the information of all the gangs in East coast City and its neighbouring one.
Finally I needed to grow stronger before Wulin went to Shrek Academy because Shrek only recruited students once in every three years. And the quota is pitifuly low, just 100.
Just the Skysea Alliance will send more than 100 students of the whole Alliance.
Then there are many other alliances and schools who will send their students to participate in the Shrek's admission test.
