Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast

Chapter 55: We are all ordinary people

Translator: 549690339

November 1st, the day when the monthly contribution points are deposited.

Jack Clark has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Because with the contribution points, he can exchange them for a Life Crystal, and with a Life Crystal, he can convert attribute points to enhance his Cultivation Method progress.

Helplessly, Jack Clark has realized that his innate talent for comprehension Cultivation Methods is truly ordinary.

His Dragon Elephant Power is steadily improving after reaching the Second Layer Heaven, but his Mind’s Eye Bright Knife has been stuck at the beginner’s level. Despite cultivating for such a long time, he still hasn’t fully entered the Heart’s Eye Realm.

This is even with a fixed proficiency from the attribute page.

This made him question whether he lacked talent in that aspect or was it because his soul was split, which rendered his spiritual comprehension poor?

However, regardless of the reason, nothing could stop him from breaking through the Sword Skill realm today by forcefully strengthening his attributes.

Just as Jack Clark arrived at school, he received a message calling all Second Layer Heaven freshmen for a gathering.

In the Teaching Building conference room, Jack Clark found many familiar faces which included all of those on the top 50 of the new student ranking, including the first rank holder, Jane Aiken.

In the month following the ranking competition, almost all the listed people have made their breakthrough to the Second Layer Heaven.

Apart from them, there were also some ‘geniuses’ who were only a hair’s breadth away from the listed people and also managed to breakthrough in the last half of the month, including Justin Welan and Freya Louise.

The conference room was huge, with seventy-plus students occupying only a small portion of it. Jack Clark took a seat within Class 3’s circle.

Jack Clark looked at Freya Louise by his side and asked quizzically, “Why have we been called suddenly? What happened?”

The girl whispered, “It should be related to the Koroya situation.”

Jack Clark nodded thoughtfully, thinking about the rumors that had been circulating in the school these past few days.

Before long, a few teachers walked in. Leading them was a middle-aged man wearing glasses. Following behind him were the head of Class 1, Vernon Leinster, and Lori Parma.

After the bespectacled teacher sat down, he cast his gaze around the conference room and nodded satisfactorily, saying, “Very good, so many freshmen have broken through to Second Layer Heaven in the first semester of this year.”

Then he introduced himself, “Hello everyone, I am Laurant Hawk, the Dean of Martial Height. I’ve been away from school for a while, so this is my first time meeting everyone.”

“This gathering is related to the situation in Koroya.”

“Currently, the higher-ups have notified all first-rate Universities in our country to organize an expedition of new students to gain experience. The minimum requirement is the Second Layer Heaven.”

“After deliberation, our school has decided to respond to this call and organize a batch of new students to participate.”

Just then, Jane Aiken in the first row raised her hand. Laurant Hawk paused, gave a slight nod to this number one freshman genius since he remembered her.

“This classmate, please go ahead if you have any questions.”

The girl stood up and asked doubtfully, “Teacher, I’ve also been following the Koroya situation. There are strong men there who can ignore even heavy artillery, high-ranking powerhouses who are at the Seventh Layer Heaven.” “What role can we, the Second Layer Heaven freshmen, play in the face of such high-level cultivators?”

She’d put it subtly, without saying that it was akin to courting death.

Addressing this question, Laurant Hawk gave a slight smile, “You don’t need to worry about this problem. There are others to deal with those high-ranking powerhouses. Your targets are those ordinary cultists.”

“Although Koroya is currently in chaos, it poses no threat to our vast Federation, and powerhouses will shortly step in.”

“Once the rebels and the powerhouses of the Evil God Sect are suppressed, the remaining work will be carried out jointly by the students from Universities and the deployed military.”

“Currently, in the entire Koroya region, the Evil God Sect has cultivated a lot of low-level cultists. These people are weak and spread doomsday ideologies everywhere. They need to be cleared.”

“Of course, this weakness is from our perspective.”

“Most of these cultists possess the strength of the First and Second Layer Heaven, and if allowed to cause chaos, they will still create some disorder in society. These cultists, who are weak from our perspective, will still create some disorder in society, thus there is a need for a batch of elite support.”

“However, it would be a waste to send Senior Students there since those are just First and Second Layer Heaven cultists. They have their own matters, and that’s why we have considered you.”

“Besides this, there’s a probability that you might encounter hidden core members of the Evil God Sect after they scatter. Therefore, there’s a certain danger in this trial, and it isn’t compulsory.””Everyone will have three days to consider, and we expect to set off in a week.”

“Moreover, the target of this trial is not mutant beasts, but those cultists of the Evil God Sect. Students who choose to participate should be prepared to kill.”

“For now, killing a First Layer Heaven cultist merits 1 contribution point, a Second Layer Heaven ones earns 3 points, and a Third Layer Heaven one awards 10 points. The higher the rank, the more points you receive.”

As soon as Laurant Hawk finished, the burly Howard Lee voiced out his doubts, “Teacher, why does it earn only 3 points to kill a Second Layer Heaven cultist? Isn’t that a bit low?”

Not just him, other interested students also had this confusion.

After all, the resources they used to cultivate to the Second Layer Heaven far exceed ten points. Killing one of those cultists earned only three points, isn’t that too cheap?

However, many didn’t care about the fact that this involved killing. Cultivation isn’t for fun; life and death fights are the norm.

Laurant Hawk shook his head slightly, “For those of you who are Second Layer Cultivators who have gone through Orthodox teachings, the cultists of the same level are no match.”

“Their strength comes from the secret skill of the Evil God Sect which is feeble and has no supportive skills. Calling them Second Layer Heaven is already complimenting them.”

“Of course, this is under the situation of direct confrontation.”

“Some cultists are cunning and deceitful, their experience in life and death battles are richer than yours. It is best to not underestimate the situation when facing them.”

Next, Laurant Hawk answered some other students’ questions before announcing the end of the meeting.

As Class 3 walked out of the conference building, Justin Welan asked, “Jack, will you participate?”

Jack Clark came back to his senses and pointedly asked, “What about you guys?”

Freya Louise shook her head slightly, “I’m not sure. Entering the trial as a first-year student and facing a certain level of danger, 1 need to discuss this with my family.”

Justin Welan scratched his head, “1 also need to ask at home.”

Crystal Leinster: “Me too.”

Matt Watkins gave a small, confident smile, “I’ll go. And, I suggest that all those who can should go.”

Matt’s words caused everyone to pause and look at him.

“Remember, at South Sky Martial Height, we are among the top 50 talents. But have any of you thought about how many first-class universities there are across the country?”

“When we broaden our gaze to Eastern Summer, or even the entire Federation, how many fresh cultivators can reach the Foundation Establishment within a week? Thousands, or tens of thousands?”

The weight of Matt’s words made everyone instinctively feel an oncoming wave of pressure.

Yes, at South Sky Martial Height, there are more than a hundred ‘geniuses’ who can reach Foundation Establishment in a week. However, Eastern Summer has dozens of first-class universities, equivalent to thousands of people.

If you also count the new students from the lower-ranked schools, the number skyrockets. This is the number for one semester of this year.

As the fundamental cultivation methods are being popularised and resources are favoured, the number of cultivators has exploded in recent years.

Matt casually remarks, “In South Sky Martial Height, there is truly only one, or maybe one and a half geniuses.”

Although he didn’t disclose their names, everyone knew who he was referring to.

Jane Aiken and Howard Lee with his Innate Divine Strength.

“Under such circumstances, if you don’t want to remain obscure, you must seize every opportunity to improve, surpass yourself, and surpass everything.” “After participating in this trial, you can not only get a lot of resources, but also further stimulate your potential under the pressure of life and death battles.” “By then, you will be able to convert the resources you gain into your cultivation strength. Your rate of improvement will be several times higher than it is now.”

“Once we return from the trials, our strength will be much greater than that of non-participating students. We may even leave them far behind.”

“This is why most cultivators in the second and third grades are not at school. They are all honing their skills outside, pushing their limits to the extreme.”

“Of course, there are risks with rewards, so everyone should consider it

carefully..”
