Luo Kai lived here peacefully, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. He liked to be close to nature, so not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but he also felt very comfortable.
Shang Jing University adhered to the education philosophy of the pyramid, which was to select the elites from the elites. The system was very strict, using the last place elimination system, similar to the method of raising mastiffs. Every month, students would take turns to assess. If they ranked at the bottom in the assessment, there was a possibility that they would be expelled, and then they would have to replenish the number of students. Anyway, there were countless people outside waiting to be admitted.
Of course, the school would also give the students at the bottom a buffer period, which was how Ruifeng Valley came to be. There were about ten students living in the valley, all of whom were punished to do hard work here because they did not pass the assessment or made mistakes. It would last for about three to five months, and if their grades did not improve during this period, then they would really be expelled.
Although the valley was not big, there were hundreds of acres of rice fields, and there was also an orchard and vegetable field on the hillside. If it was in the early days, it would not be so hard, after all, there were periods of busy farming and slack farming, but since the energy of the stars swept across the earth a few days ago, the weeds and plants grew abnormally vigorously. If they were dealt with today, they would grow again the next day. They spent most of their time pulling weeds and had almost no time to go to school. Every few days, the school instructors would come to check, and if they found weeds in the fields, they would give a bad rating in their personal evaluation. Therefore, the students here were suffering unspeakably, but they could only grit their teeth and persevere, hoping to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Luo Kai came. He was good at farming, and in addition, he had achieved resonance with the plants, blending with the surrounding plants all day long. As long as a thought flashed through his mind, all the weeds and seeds would avoid this place. Moreover, he now found the role of Zi Lan, which was to attract the active energy that was everywhere between heaven and earth to gather here. Although it was not much, but for the young life of plants, there would be a significant change, which was to grow more luxuriantly.
A few days later, the people in the valley noticed the changes in the fields. Not only were the weeds gone, the rice grains grew like shrubs, and the plump grains hung heavily on the ground. They all clicked their tongues in wonder. They didn't know the reason, but they kept praying for the blessings of Bodhisattva. Finally, they had time to cultivate and attend classes.
"Luo Kai, do you want to go to class? Teacher You has a public physical skills class today." A short, chubby boy rushed to Luo Kai's wooden house.
Luo Kai cut off the frequency connection with the plants, opened his eyes, and shook his head with a smile. "I'm not going. You guys go ahead."
Fatty hesitated, but didn't say anything. He turned and left. This new junior brother was very strange. He had never attended any classes, nor had he ever seen him practice body arts. He spent his days in a daze. Sometimes he would stand by the stream for an entire day. If it weren't for someone calling him to eat, he might have stood there until the end of time.
…
Luo Kai stood up and walked out of the wooden house. The warm rays of the rising sun shone down. He closed his eyes slightly. The water molecules in the air and the active energy that represented the plants were constantly being absorbed by his skin, gradually transforming every cell. A surge of vitality arose spontaneously. He felt as if he didn't need to eat or drink anymore. He could rely on absorbing the energy in the air to maintain his body's functions. This state was somewhat similar to the state of fasting in Taoism legends.
The Blade of Severance at the door sensed its master and immediately cried in the wind. The blade vibrated abnormally violently, and a formless evil aura was emitted. It yearned for slaughter and destruction.
Luo Kai sighed. He bent down and gently stroked the blade. Only then did the vibrating blade gradually stop.
Now, he and the Blade of Severance seemed to have established a magical connection. They could feel each other even if they were thousands of meters apart. The Blade of Severance seemed to have become a part of his body, like an extension of his bloodline. To be more precise, the Blade of Severance seemed to have become his child. It would often emit a frequency that was like a child throwing a tantrum. For example, it was complaining to him just now that it didn't like the dull and boring life it had now.
This phenomenon was incomparably magical. However, there were also examples in reality. A chef who immersed himself in cooking, or a butcher who often slaughtered dogs and cows, would be able to tell if two identical knives were his or her own. This phenomenon would also occur in the wrenches used by electricians, and even in the pendants worn by ordinary people all year round. Being together with something for a long time, a magical connection would be established between the person and the object. No matter who left the other, it would be possible for a treasured sword to be covered in dust, a kitchen knife to be no longer sharp, and a tool to be no longer handy … unless they could find another suitable master.
The Blade of Severance was only a sharp and murderous weapon in Pang Kun's hands. However, in Luo Kai's hands, it had undergone a wonderful change. Its spirituality grew stronger and stronger, and it even developed a self-consciousness. In comparison, although the ink-like Beckoning the Moon Sword was an energy weapon, it was still just a tool.
Luo Kai collected his thoughts and walked out of the wooden house. He strolled through the fields. Wherever his figure went, the rice in the fields would gently rise and fall, competing with each other to emit a frequency of warmth and intimacy towards him.
At the edge of the valley was a brick dormitory. This was where the students lived. Luo Kai was becoming more and more fond of quietness. Moreover, most of the students who liked physical skills did not care much about hygiene. The conditions of the dormitory were truly unsightly. Dirty and messy was not enough to describe it. Therefore, he did not live with them. He built a small wooden house in the valley by himself.
In front of the dormitory was a small training field. Two bare-chested young students were sparring. One of them was a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes called Gan Zhi. He used a fighting technique similar to elbow and knee combat. As he flashed and moved, his elbow strikes were like knives, and his knee strikes were like the wind. His offensive was extremely fierce. It was much stronger than the one Luo Kai had seen Gu Cai use at Panseok Sports School.
The one sparring with Gan Zhi was a tall young man who was close to two meters tall. He had a sturdy physique and calmly responded to the attack with a motionless physical skill.
The University of Shangjing was indeed a holy land for physical skills cultivators. The fighting standards of these two people were above the middle level. If they could break through their own limitations and comprehend the wonderful use of spiritual power, they could advance to a high level physical warrior. These two people were sent to Rui Feng Valley. It could be imagined how fierce the competition in the University of Shangjing was.
The sparring between the two naturally didn't enter Luo Kai's eyes. His realm had gradually broken away from ordinary skills and had reached the level of skill. He could mobilize external energy with a wave of his hand. In addition to the explosive power generated by the high-speed circulation of his Qi and blood, even if he fought with physical masters at full strength, he still had the power to fight. His cultivation method was completely different from others. There was no reference, and he could only rely on himself to explore. Therefore, there was no need for him to listen to any classes. It was a complete waste of time. It was estimated that only the exchanges between physical masters could arouse his interest.
The path of physical skills was ultimately a competition of strength and speed. After reaching the level of physical master, one could rely purely on strength to crush others. Naturally, there was no need for any skills. However, the battle between physical masters was on another level. After reaching the level of physical master, one would pay more attention to the means of using energy, which was the method of mutual promotion and restraint of energy. Water could extinguish fire, but fire could melt metal. However, if the power of metal could be transformed into the magical use of soft water, it could restrain fire.
