Chapter 15: Lingyun Hall

  Mei Mei slept beautifully and after a refreshing wash, she went to the square to attend the freshman welcoming ceremony. When she arrived, it was already packed with people everywhere, looking left and right but not seeing any familiar faces, so she could only stand in a corner listening to the instructor's speech.

  After she had yawned countless times, this uninteresting speech finally came to an end. The energetic students dispersed with a whoosh, rushing to find their own classrooms for the next class.

  Wake up the little guy on your shoulder, and Zhan Light Crazy will follow the crowd to find the legendary Lingyun Hall. I don't know if it's because of this student named Yun Shu, but anyway, those with the word "cloud" seem to be quite dignified.

  Lingyutang, Lingfengtang walked through one by one, found that every instructor was teaching seriously, and the students were all listening attentively. No wonder I didn't see Song Duoduo and others earlier, thinking about it is also this reason, with that precious time spent on practice is not better than welcoming a group of unknown little people?

  Finally arrived at Lingyun Hall, pushed open the big door, and found it was a pretty large courtyard. After passing through the vast spiritual power practice field, there came a man's voice teaching from inside a house.

  Out of politeness, Zhan Qing knocked on the door gently.

  "Who is it?" The man's voice was somewhat unfriendly, with a hint of anger at being interrupted.

  "War is madness."

  The door opened and a man in his thirties with raised eyebrows and a somewhat sharp face appeared.

  "Are you the new one?" The man looked her up and down, stepping aside to let her in. "What took you so long? Don't be late next time! And don't ever bring a pet in here again. I'll let it slide this time since you're new."

  As for this mentor's nitpicking, Zhan Qingkuang didn't like it, but he also didn't need to bother with him. Looking at his appearance, without even thinking about it, he knew that he couldn't teach anything useful. If what he was teaching wasn't useful, then Zhan Qingkuang didn't want to waste his time on him either.

  "Just sit there!"

  Sit down in the place he specified, with a slight smile and a raised eyebrow. He didn't care about the gazes of the other dozen or so people, whether they were curious, hostile, or jealous.

  The thin instructor closed the door, restarted the lecture, and talked about various types of spiritual power cultivation methods, how to improve strength, and what to pay attention to when advancing. After listening to a lesson, Zhan Qingchao looked down on it, is this the level of Yunshu College? From Chen Dang, I learned that although Yunshu College can't compare with Imperial College, it's also one of the top colleges in the Gaosheng Empire, how could it be so misleading to its students?

  As soon as that sharp-tongued instructor left, everyone let out a sigh of relief, but no one left, all eyes were still on her situation. Finally, a brave girl walked over.

  "You're actually Warlight Crazy, the 13-year-old Five-Star Great Spirit Master?"

  "Alright."

  "You're quite impressive! My name is Yuan Yu, and I'm also a Five-Star Grand Spirit Master. You're the youngest here, and there are several others who have gone out on missions. When they return, I'll introduce you to them. Don't worry, I'll take care of you from now on."

  "Good." For straightforward people, it's still pleasant to make friends with a warlike enthusiast.

  "Who was teaching just now? Are all instructors like this?" If so, she didn't mind dropping out.

  "He? The nephew of Elder Wang of the Academy, but just a Five-Star Spirit King. It took Elder Wang's repeated efforts to persuade him to take on a teaching role." From her words, it was clear that she was dissatisfied, and this was the reason why - he had no real abilities, but had only gotten in through connections. These arrogant young men and women would definitely not accept him.

  "Does he come to class every day?" If so, she would skip class every day.

  "Not every two days, there are other good mentors, after all, this is Lingyun Hall, how can they all be mediocre?" Yuan Xuan said casually and was about to touch the pastry on her shoulder when she quickly dodged.

  Seeing her expression somewhat dissatisfied, War lightly explained with a hint of helplessness, "It hurts people." The girl then regained her composure.

  "There are seventeen of us in Lingyun Hall, including you makes eighteen. Although you're the youngest, this is a place where strength speaks for itself. Every month-end, there's a spiritual power test to assess our recent progress, and then we're ranked. Based on the ranking, personnel for tasks are determined. Now it's the beginning of the month, so work hard!" He patted her other shoulder as he finished speaking.

  "Tell me about last month's ranking situation!"

  "En, okay then. The Lingyuntang are all five-star great swordsmen, you know that!" War Lightcrazy nodded.

  First place is Lei He, male, eighteen years old, fire element;

  The second name is Tie Qian, male, eighteen years old, earth system;

  The third is Luo Bing, female, nineteen years old, water system;

  Fourth place is Suru Wudi, male, seventeen years old, Gold series;

  Fifth place is Lan Nuan, female, eighteen years old, wood element;

  ……

  "The first five people have gone out on tasks and are not here now."

  "And you?"

  "I'm Yuan Yu, ninth in line, twenty years old, Wind element. And that one over there wearing blue is Hua Qing, same age as me, Wood element, really nice person." The girl looked over and nodded with a smile.

  Then, Yuan Yu went through everyone present again. No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, at least now everyone nodded kindly. However, until she finished introducing herself, she found that she was indeed the youngest.

  "Hello everyone, I'm Zhan Qingkuang, 13 years old, a fire-type spirit master. Please take care of me from now on."

  After learning about the basic situation, Zhan Qingcang didn't even have lunch and returned to her cloud palace. She fed her baby son's lunch and then simply ate something in the small kitchen of the cloud palace.

  In the afternoon, she took a break and decided to go to the library to study on her own, thinking that self-study might be faster.

  "Hey, hey! Why didn't you go eat lunch at noon?" Song Duoduo panted as she ran.

  "I ate at Yun Ge."

  "It's really troublesome, I've been looking for you for half a day. How did you think of going back to the Cloud Pavilion to eat? Is it because there's nothing in your crystal card..." The Chen beside her poked her with his elbow.

  "I have the habit of taking a nap, so I ate at Yun Ge."

  "Where are you going now? Are you still used to Lingyun Hall?"

  "I'm going to the library, how about you?"

  "We're going too, let's go together!"

  He dragged her away without saying a word, and several boys behind them exchanged glances, shook their heads and followed.

  As I walked into the library, I found it was similar to the libraries she had seen before. However, the books here were not allowed to be borrowed and could only be read on site. The library was divided into three floors, with different levels of access depending on one's abilities. Each floor was nearly a thousand square meters in size, with all sorts of books available. Next to the windows were tables and chairs where people sat together in twos and threes, chatting with each other.

  Along each bookshelf, the top right corner reads: Spiritual Power Cultivation Method, Herb Encyclopedia, Dan Medicine Properties, Magic Beast Level Division, Magic Beast Analysis...

  Zhan Qingkong's eyes were dazzled, and she walked all the way to the end without deciding which one to watch. With the Suixinbao dictionary, she didn't have to worry about cultivating her spiritual power, and her spiritual power was also different from others.

  "Light Crazy, have you decided which one to read yet?" Song Duoduo held a book on enhancing spiritual power in her hand and stared at her with wide eyes.

  "Haven't thought it through yet."

  "You take your time choosing, we'll go ahead first."

  Zhan Qing nodded and walked back, finally picking up a "Monster Analysis" book and walking to Song Doudou's table. She looked at Nan Gong Bing, who was sitting there without her noticing when he appeared, nodded, sat down, and opened the book.

  Whether it's flying in the sky, running on land, or swimming in water, there are analyses of all kinds here. The shape, appearance, level, and fatal weaknesses of each magical creature are all recorded in detail.

  Without thinking, she flipped to the page of the Six-Winged Demon Wolf. The Six-Winged Demon Wolf, wasn't that the one she had killed?

  Six-winged Demon Wolf, with a body three times larger than that of ordinary wolf tribes. In its juvenile stage, it has one pair of wings, two pairs in its growth stage, and three pairs when it reaches adulthood as a six-winged demon wolf. After reaching adulthood, it can advance to become a king-level wind system magical beast, with wings capable of creating wind blades, and its wolf claws also possess relatively great killing power. If it advances to become sacred-level, then it can spit out wind wave cannons. The Six-winged Demon Wolf is a carnivorous animal that delights in slaughter, most detesting the Clear Phantom Grass; upon encountering the scent of Clear Phantom Grass, it easily becomes agitated to the point of going berserk.

  His fingers tangled in her hair, Zhan Qing's thoughts turned lightly and crazily, "Chen Duo, have you guys encountered Qingyao grass on your previous mission?"

  "What's Qingyucao?" Chen Du looked at her innocently.

  "It doesn't matter."

  He continued flipping through it and before an hour had passed, Warlight had already flipped to the last page of this Monster Analysis book, ready to exchange it for another one.

  "You're so reckless, why didn't you look?" Song Doudou asked in surprise as she saw her stand up.

  "After finishing." No one knew that the former warlord's helmsman had the ability to memorize and never forget, so she handled affairs and issued documents at a speed ten times faster than others every day, which is why the warlord's enterprise would always be one step ahead of others.

  "No way! Is that true? I don't believe it, let me test you." He snatched the book from her hand, and every time she casually asked a question, he answered fluently. Finally, under her gritted teeth and others' stunned gaze, he went to exchange another book.

  "Hurry up, hurry up, don't appear in front of me again, I'm afraid I'll lose control and bite you to death! Good heavens, where did this monster come from?! This speed, is it reading or eating books?! No wonder she's a five-star grandmaster at such a young age, if I had this talent, why worry about tomorrow being beautiful?! Song Doudou resentfully bit the book in her hand, Chen Dong couldn't bear to watch and pried open her mouth, rescuing the battered book."

  Just thought of the Qingyao grass I saw earlier, don't know what kind of grass it is, was searching for it when I looked up and ran into Yuan Yuan.

  "Come and read books!"

  "Well, take a look if you're interested."

  "Alright, I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, he beckoned to the girl beside him and they left together, with the girl smiling slightly.

  She just remembered seeing a comprehensive guide to medicinal herbs, which was pretty good. Found it! An entire bookshelf full of books related to medicinal herbs, picked up a thick one, and returned to her original position, reading with relish, while others had already digested it and were no longer surprised.
