Chapter 14
As a result, there were fewer and fewer people in the cultivation classroom in the afternoon, and the atmosphere became increasingly restless.
After successfully establishing their Foundation, they would go to Area C for cultivation. That area was the real Martial Sects Area, where freshmen of Senior One who had established their foundation, as well as sophomores and seniors were located.
The two sides were like people from two separate worlds.
After establishing their Foundation, Crystal Leinster and the others rarely attended the cultural classes in the morning. Occasionally they appeared, but they were always in a hurry, as if they were too busy to spare any time.
At the same time, their aura became more and more oppressive, sharp, and daunting to the classmates who were close to them.
This situation made those classmates who hadn’t established their Foundation even more impatient. Every day, their cultivation classes in the afternoon became more focused and diligent in contrast to their initial laziness.
Unfortunately, talent was something you either had or you didn’t.
In the blink of an eye, another week passed, and twelve people in the class had established their Foundation. With nearly half of them gone, the classroom seemed much emptier.
On Monday, after spending a pleasant weekend, Jack Clark entered the classroom and saw Justin Welan sitting at his desk.
Besides him, Crystal Leinster and Matt Watkins, the two class leaders, were also present.
Justin Welan grinned as he greeted Jack, “Hey, Jack, it’s been so many days, did you miss me?”
Jack was speechless, “You’re not a beauty, so what’s there to miss?”
“Besides, you just went to Zone C to cultivate True Martial, not like you were gone for good. Aren’t you back today?” Jack shook his head and ignored him.
Looking at Jack, who took out his textbook and prepared for class, Justin blinked and after a long time, couldn’t help but ask, “Jack, aren’t you curious about the difference between True Martial and Basic Cultivation Methods?”
Seeing Justin’s eager, “Ask me, ask me!” expression, Jack replied indifferently, “Why be curious? Anyway, I will be able to cultivate it after a while.”
“… Jack, you’re no fun at all.” Justin was a bit frustrated.
He had arrived early today, waiting for a long time, just to see Jack ask him to describe what True Martial was like. He hadn’t expected this outcome.
This reaction was such a contrast to the little beauty in front of him who had excitedly asked him all sorts of questions. He had waited so long for nothing.
In response, Jack just smiled, he really wasn’t in a hurry.
At four in the afternoon, accompanied by the melodious school bell, class ended.
In the cultivation classroom, Jack, who was cultivating, slowly finished his session, the boiling Qi Blood in his body gradually subsiding.
“Almost there,” feeling the abundant Qi Blood in his body and the faint fatigue after carrying out seven turns, Jack revealed a smile on his face.
During this period, he had made great progress. His Meditation Method had been perfected five days ago, visualizing twelve petals.
He could also perform Qi Blood carry for half an hour and complete seven turns.
Unfortunately, as he became more proficient, his progress slowed down. Now, after practicing once, completing seven turns in one go only increased his results by 4 points; otherwise, he would have made a breakthrough already.
But even so, in about three more days, he should be able to complete his Foundation Establishment.
His timing was just right, establishing his Foundation within fifteen days, which showed average talent – not great, but also not bad.
After resting for a while, Jack took a bath, put on his dried clothes after washing them once, and came out.
At that moment, a female student also came out from the girls’ changing room. Seeing Jack, she smiled and asked, “Jack, are you going back?”
“Yes.” Jack nodded.
“Coincidentally, I also plan to go back early today. Shall we go together?”
“Sure.”
This female student was named Freya Louise, and she was a classmate Jack had gotten to know last week. The two would occasionally exchange cultivation experiences during this period.As they shared half of the way home, they slowly became more familiar with each other over time after bumping into each other a few times.
Under the scorching sun and tree shade by the roadside, Freya Louise and Jack Clark walked side by side. A gentle breeze carried the faint fragrance of shampoo as it blew past them.
“Jack, I saw you didn’t seem to struggle with the seven turns carry today. You should be close to breaking through, right?”
“Probably in a few days.”
Freya glanced at the figures running in the distant playground and whispered, “I can now carry nine turns within half an hour with my perfect meditation and Qi Blood.”
“After using the Burst bear blood essence to cultivate tonight, I should be able to establish my foundation by tomorrow.”
Jack showed a faint smile on his face, “Congratulations.”
Freya turned to look at Jack, her beautiful face encouraging, “Keep going, Jack. I’ll go ahead and wait for you by Area C.”
Jack smiled and nodded, “Yeah, let’s do our best together.”
As they were talking, the two walked out of the tree shade, and sunlight fell on Freya’s milky, creamy face, her skin faintly glowing like transparent.
Jack’s gaze paused for a moment at this sight.
During this time, Jack observed that the girls in their class were all pretty, with class leader Sherry Lesser being the most beautiful.
With her curly purple hair, exquisite face, and stunning figure, she was at the goddess level.
Then, there was Freya.
Unlike Sherry, whose beauty was delicate, Freya had a lovely and pure appearance. Her white cheeks were tender and delicate as a baby, and her features were beautiful.
Her lovely phoenix eyes were long and narrow, and each time she smiled, her eyes would slightly squint into crescents, exuding a hint of enchantment.
Standing at around one meter sixty-eight, her silky black hair was tied with a bow of white butterfly ribbon, and the white ribbons mixed with her hair gave her a fresh aura.
This strange charm, pure but somewhat enchanting, was enough to outshine the other girls in the class.
Even Jack was occasionally stirred by the inadvertent flirtatiousness she exuded, and couldn’t help but sigh that she was a natural beauty.
The two walked together for a while until they parted ways at a three-way intersection.
When Jack returned home, it was precisely five o’clock. Carrying several big and small bags, the largest two contained more than twenty pounds of frozen fish.
Over twenty pounds of fish meat would be enough to feed his Avatar for two days.
In the kitchen, Jack gutted the palm-sized Beltfish one by one, washing the organs clean and setting them aside. In no time, he’d filled the basin.
On the second floor, the forty-seven centimeters long Hexagonal Power Lycophyte lay half on the table, with its egg-sized head raised slightly and its three pairs of red teeth wide open, looking like a small lion.
Although the Avatar wasn’t very big yet, it had begun to have a predator’s intimidating presence.
Jack placed the basin of fish meat in front of the Salamander Avatar and controlled it to eat. Its mouth opened, and it tore the fish apart with a gaping bite.
In the face of its sharp teeth, the fish meat was easily torn apart and swallowed in a few bites. Its eating speed was astonishing.
Eating, digesting, growing.
Soon, the six pounds of fish meat in the basin were consumed, and the lizard’s body grew visibly thicker and longer, reaching forty-eight centimeters in length.
With a full stomach, the Avatar lay on the table to digest its food.
Jack sat on a chair, lost in thought. He was thinking about which gene to integrate into his Avatar next time.
His Avatar could evolve and integrate talents from other creatures’ genetic material, giving it infinite potential.
But having too many choices could be painful too, because there were too many talents from insects and animals that humans couldn’t comprehend, no matter how powerful they were.
For example, the Tiger Beetle’s instant two hundredfold speed increase, the mantis shrimp’s supersonic burst attack, and more…
