23 Chapter 23: Light King
Translator: 549690339
Looking at the arguing Justin Welan, Jack Clark’s gaze swept across Crystal Leinster.
Today, the Class Leader’s slightly curly purple hair was tied behind her head. Due to the close-fitting white cultivation suit, her already tall and slender figure looked even more graceful.
Especially from Jack’s angle, there was a feeling of an imposing mountain range.
However, looking but not being impolite, Jack only glanced briefly before retracting his gaze.
Through the conversation between the two just now, and his understanding of his classmates’ cultivation in the past few days, he had a rough comparison of their progress in cultivation.
Currently among the freshmen, the best talent was Jane Aiken from Class 1.
That girl had reached Foundation Establishment in two days. When she established her foundation, her basic attributes were four times that of ordinary people.
Justin Welan and Jack said that she would be able to reach the First Layer Heaven Limit within a week. By now, she should be trying to break through the Second Layer Heaven.
Then there were the geniuses like Crystal Leinster, who broke through in three to four days, and after successfully building their foundation, they could reach the First Layer Heaven Limit in about a month.
And then there were the ordinary geniuses like Justin Welan, who required around two months after their seven-day Foundation Establishment.
As for Freya Louise and others like Jack, who established their foundations within half a month, it would take them at least three or four months to reach the First Layer Heaven Limit without any accidents.
At this moment, Jack suddenly felt that cultivation was difficult, as if it was as hard as reaching the sky.
These ‘geniuses’ who had systematic cultivation support from the school needed several months to reach the First Layer Heaven Limit. How long would it take to break through the Second Layer Heaven?
And what about those who completed their Foundation Establishment within a month? How long would it take them to reach the First Layer Heaven Limit?
Half a year or a year?
No wonder that post said that people who could not establish their foundations within a month with the help of the school should be considered a waste of time to continue cultivating.
After resting for a while and feeling his Spirit Qi recover somewhat, Jack resumed his cultivation.
His Dragon Elephant Power cultivation had slowed down, and the attribute page no longer displayed the specific progress of proficiency, but Jack could still feel that he was making progress.
The feature of solidified proficiency still existed, and he could improve as long as he cultivated.
This allowed him to not need to spend time like Justin Welan and the others to consolidate his cultivation progress every day. Otherwise, it wouldn’t take him more than four months to reach the First Layer Heaven Limit.
Instead, like those who only built their foundation in a month, it would be half a year at least, since that was his true ‘aptitude’.
Today, Jack left the school after cultivating until five o’clock.
As always, he went to the market to buy groceries first. He also bought more than ten kilograms of fish meat for his Avatar – all small white strips, as it was the cheapest and most cost-effective option.
Now that his Avatar had grown in size, its appetite had increased, requiring four meals a day, each with more than four kilograms of fish meat.
It was already demanding so much food at this size, what would happen after it evolved further?
This further affirmed Jack’s idea of releasing his Avatar into the wild. He simply couldn’t afford to keep it.
Thinking of his Avatar, Jack remembered he still had something he almost forgot. He picked up the groceries with one hand and took out his mobile phone with the other to dial a number.
“Hello, who is this?” A young man’s voice came from the other end.
Jack reminded, “Boss Lee, it’s me, the one who ordered the Iron Beetle.”
“Oh, it’s you. I remember you.”
Jack asked, “I wanted to know if the Iron Beetle I reserved can be obtained?”
The boss on the other end affirmed, “Don’t worry, I’ve already asked my friend in the Northern Continent to get it. It will be in Mist River in a few days. Once it arrives, I’ll inform you.”
“Thank you, Boss Lee.”
“You’re welcome. It’s just business.”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Jack hung up the phone.
The Iron Beetle was the gene he had prepared for the second evolution fusion of his Avatar. The only advantage of this bug was its hardness and its strong defense.
How hard was it?
A thumb-sized bug that can withstand an adult’s step on it without any damage.
There’s even a record of a car running over it without causing any harm.
The defensive power of this bug is exactly what the Six-legged Salamander needs right now.
With the addition of strong defense, the strength talent of the Hexagonal Power Lycophyte can be fully utilized, greatly increasing its power and safety.
However, Jack Clark’s country doesn’t have this type of bug, and it isn’t a common pet bug.
So Jack Clark found the pet store owner who he bought the Unicorn Beetle from last time, and after a lengthy conversation, he placed a special order for it for a high price of one thousand.
Even so, the pet store owner could only promise to help find it, but couldn’t guarantee its availability.
Thankfully, there doesn’t seem to be any problem now.
When his Avatar evolves again, his physique would probably improve dramatically, perhaps reaching the First Layer Heaven Limit even earlier than Justin Welan.
Time flies when you’re busy, and the next day, Jack Clark went directly to the Logistics Department after arriving at school.
“Teacher, I want to buy a knife-type weapon.”
The middle-aged man behind the counter looked up at the Freshman in front of him and asked casually, “Have you decided on a model?”
Jack Clark nodded, “Yes, an F Grade 1-26 Straight Knife.”
“Alright, first enter your student ID.”
As requested, Jack entered his student ID.
“Student ID verification passed, the exchange for the F Grade 1-26 Straight Knife requires 10 contribution points.”
The middle-aged man looked up and continued, “You still have a one-time weapon exchange discount, leaving you with 1-point balance. Do you want to buy this weapon?”
“Yes!”
“Hold on…”
After a short while, Jack Clark left the Logistics Department with a more than 2-meter-long weapon box on his back.
Arriving on the Third Floor of Building C, Jack saw Lori Parma leaving her office, accompanied by two vaguely familiar students who should be from Class 3, preparing to get on the elevator.
Jack politely greeted her, “Good morning, Teacher Parma.”
Lori Parma nodded, her gaze sweeping over the weapon box on his back, “Planning to practice Sword Skill? Remember, don’t be impatient when practicing. Just progress step by step.”
Jack acknowledged her advice, then nodded slightly to the two male students from his class.
Carrying the weapon, Jack found an empty Cultivation Area and placed the box on its rack, opening it to reveal a sharp long knife.
The knife had a 50-centimeter handle, a 1.5-meter blade, was 1 centimeter thick, and 10 centimeters wide, resembling an ancient Horse Chopping Knife but heavier.contemporary romance
According to the information, this knife was made of F Grade Alloy. The alloy’s strength could rival aerospace metals, and it weighed twenty kilograms. Its characteristics were its sharpness and solidity.
Such a weapon would cost tens of thousands if you tried to purchase it outside, even with connections.
It can be said that the authorities have been very generous to these beginners in Cultivation training, be it resources or other aspects.
In the midst of his thoughts, Jack drew the knife, feeling its weight in his hand.
With Jack’s current arm strength of one hundred and forty kilograms, holding a twenty-kilogram straight knife with one arm was somewhat difficult, as all the weight was concentrated in his palm.
When he grasped the hilt with both hands, the difficulty disappeared.
Jack swung the knife a few times to familiarize himself with its feel, then slowly assumed a starting position, his aura changing instantly, and his eyes becoming sharp and menacing.
The first level of the Dragon Elephant Power strengthens the whole body’s strength and enhances the toughness of skin, fascia, and bones.
On the other hand, the Mind’s Eye Bright Knife is a Sword Skill that mainly focuses on double-arm burst, with an overbearing and fierce sword art style that emphasizes large movements and an oppressive aura, like an angry Light King.
Combining the Furious Power of the Dragon Elephant Power, Jack can unleash even greater combat power.
