The storage ring on Tang Yiyi’s right thumb flashed and a stone with abundant Spiritual Energy appeared on her hand. As expected, this was the so-called Spirit Stone.
“Go!”
She lightly tapped the Spirit Stone with her finger and in an instant, the Spirit Stone split into four parts, flying towards four different corners of the classroom.
As the Spirit Stones fell to the ground, rings of light began to echo above the classroom. In a few breaths’ time, they had already condensed into a huge barrier that could be seen with the naked eye, enveloping everyone within.
“Almost.”
Tang Yiyi murmured and snapped her fingers.
Following Tang Yiyi’s actions, the Spiritual Energy in the classroom started to boil and there was even a fog. This was a sign of the abundance of Spiritual Energy .
.
All of the students below the stage had already sat down cross-legged. They suppressed the excitement in their hearts and were nervous and their expressions became solemn and serious.
When Tang Yiyi saw their serious and nervous expressions, she could not help but burst into laughter. This scene reminded her of how excited and nervous she was when she first guided her Spirit into her body for cultivation.
With a faint smile on her face, she opened her cherry lips and said, “It’s as fresh as water. Clear water enters the heart. There’s no breeze and no waves. Students, relax your mind and carefully feel the surrounding Spiritual Energy. Slowly guide it into your body and gather it into your Dantian through your meridians.”
As Tang Yiyi finished her sentence, the students gradually calmed down. Then, wisps of Spiritual Energy were drawn into their bodies and gradually gathered into their Dantian.
Similar to them, Su Hao also sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. He emptied his mind to draw the Spiritual Energy into his body. But very quickly, he discovered that no matter how much he tried to draw the Spiritual Energy, not only were they not affected in the slightest, they even directly distanced themselves from Su Hao. Thus, a small area around Su Hao formed a Spiritual Energy isolation belt.
Compared to him, Xia Qingxue, who was beside him, was surrounded by Spiritual Energy. As she breathed, Spiritual Energy entered her body and her aura gradually strengthened.
This commotion attracted the attention of Su Hao and Tang Yiyi. All the students only had a bit of dense Spiritual Energy around their bodies but when Xia Qingxue absorbed Spiritual Energy, she was able to create such a strange phenomenon. This meant that she was quite talented.
This caused Su Hao to feel a bit inferior. He was a cripple who couldn’t cultivate. Wouldn’t he be an eyesore if he stood next to Xia Qingxue? He was like a firefly against the bright moon.
The tiny lights emitted by the fireflies could only accentuate Xia Qingxue’s glow.
He was unwilling to accept this! He closed his eyes once again and emptied his mind. He mobilized the Saber Aura and directly swept the Spiritual Energy into his body. However, his actions did not bring him any good results. The Spiritual Energy just entered his body and was like water droplets that dripped onto a furnace. It dissipated the moment it touched him.
Su Hao opened his eyes and a trace of despair was hidden in the depths of his eyes. He bitterly smiled and closed his eyes once more. He didn’t want to give up, he really didn’t want to. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gritted his teeth and persisted until now under the arduous cultivation of drawing his blade.
Tang Yiyi was shocked. Su Hao’s actions just now naturally couldn’t escape her eyes. With her eyesight, it wasn’t hard for her to tell that Su Hao’s physique was repelled by Spiritual Energy. However, she was shocked because he didn’t have any cultivation and could still wield the blade.
Although Su Hao did not release much of his Saber Aura, it did not escape her eyes.
Although she was curious, Tang Yiyi did not poke her nose into his business. She knew that Su Hao was recruited by the principal. Perhaps it was because of this special reason that the principal recruited him into the school.
Thus, she closed her eyes and released her Divine Sense to observe all the students’ movements, in case any accidents happened and she was too late to save them.
…
Two hours later, the Spiritual Energy in the classroom gradually thinned and the light of the Spirit Gathering Array that enveloped everyone gradually dimmed. The students slowly opened their eyes.
Su Hao opened his eyes with a bitter smile on his lips. Despite his unwillingness, reality was cruel. He was unable to draw Spirits into his body and cultivate.
Finally, after a while, the Spirit Gathering Array dissipated. All the students opened their eyes. At this moment, their expressions were filled with excitement. They could feel the weak Spiritual Energy within their bodies. Even if it was weak, it would still allow them to officially enter the 1st Layer of Aura Refinement.
“Su Hao.”
Xia Qingxue also opened her eyes at this moment. Her beautiful eyes were filled with heartache. She pursed her lips and gently held onto Su Hao’s hand.
While she was cultivating, she was constantly paying attention to the movements of Su Hao. She could see the unwillingness, the helplessness and the despair of Su Hao.
No matter which emotion it was, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Tang Yiyi was about to speak when she saw that everyone had finished channeling Spirits into their bodies. A voice filled with disbelief sounded.
“What the hell?! Su Hao didn’t succeed in drawing spirits into his body? How is that possible?!”
That voice was like a thunderclap that exploded in everyone’s hearts!
“No, sorry.”
The man realized that he had said something wrong and immediately covered his mouth in apology.
Although, he kept his mouth shut, the other students in the classroom could not keep their mouths shut. They whispered to each other and lowered their voices to the minimum to discuss with the people around them.
“Did Su Hao really fail to draw Spirits into his body?”
“I don’t know. I was focused on drawing the Spirit into my body. But now, I really can’t feel the slightest bit of Spiritual Energy from Su Hao.”
Two girls in the class whispered to each other. One of them said that she didn’t sense any Spiritual Energy from Su Hao.
Because everyone had just finished cultivating, there would more or less be some Spiritual Energy surrounding everyone’s bodies. However, at this moment, Su Hao’s body didn’t have the slightest bit of Spiritual Energy. This couldn’t help but make everyone feel somewhat inconceivable.
Suddenly, a male student said to the classmate next to him, “Previously, when I failed to draw Spirits into my body for the first time, I opened my eyes and looked around. I just happened to see the scene of Su Hao drawing Spirits into his body.”
“The spirit energy didn’t approach him, it ran away from him. This situation seems to be caused by the repelling Spiritual Energy.”
The male student did not continue but even if he did not continue, the other students could already make the connection.
Those who could come to this academy were all able to confirm that they possessed Immortal Cultivation Talent. If Su Hao couldn’t cultivate, how did he enter?
Could it be that… they thought of a possibility? Everyone’s gazes swept over Xia Qingxue’s body. When they saw Xia Qingxue’s unconcealed heartache towards Su Hao, everyone’s expressions became strange. In their hearts, they already confirmed their own thoughts.
“So he can’t cultivate! He must have gotten in through the back door!”
A boy who was jealous of Su Hao lowered his voice and said to the classmate beside him.
The classmate beside him nodded and said in a low voice with a disdainful expression, “He’s indeed a pretty boy. He couldn’t cultivate and relied on Xia Qingxue to enter through the back door. How disgusting.”
The boy who was jealous of Su Hao said, “Yeah, but so what if he came in through the back door? He’s just a piece of trash, isn’t he just here to embarrass himself?”
“That’s right, that’s right. This is truly hilarious. A trash that is unable to train is actually qualified to enter this place?”
At this time, the boys who discovered that Su Hao couldn’t cultivate, especially the ones who were jealous of him, all revealed a bit of arrogance on their faces, their gazes towards Su Hao becoming a bit more disdainful.
Although they couldn’t get the love of a beauty like Xia Qingxue, they weren’t like him! He couldn’t cultivate and was a trash! He could only serve others!
A useless person like you who needs someone to take care of him, how can you compare to us? And these thoughts of mine!
