Chapter 26 Xuan Yiju
Swish!
The skinny thief who swooped down was the first to be knocked back, with a stick mark on his face. He didn't know where the attack came from, but Fang Xiu's hands were clearly busy.
Without the skinny thief, the fat thief was no match for Fang Xiu either. He was also defeated in just a couple of moves, his flesh torn and mangled beneath his fur, looking quite pathetic.
Only then did the skinny thief finally see what it was that had just driven him away.
Behind Fang Xiu, a nimble tiger tail swayed gently. The tiger tail was as thick as a normal person's fist. It looked light, but it was actually solid. When it hit him, it felt like being hit with a stick. The skinny thief felt his head buzzing.
As for the electric current on the skinny thief, sorry, although he is not immune to electric current, Fang Xiu has extremely high resistance to electric current and has his own shield.
Fang Xiu only has two hands, but he has more than one tail. Behind Fang Xiu, a second, a third, and three more tails appeared in succession, making a total of four tails.
Two plus four, now it's Fang Xiu's turn to besiege them. Simultaneously controlling six limbs to fight is incredibly difficult for ordinary people, but for Fang Xiu with his powerful divine sense, it's a piece of cake.
With one mind and five functions, Fang Xiu used his powerful physique to suppress the two thieves head-on, and unleashed a series of four-tailed spells. His original idea was realized today. Although there were some flaws, it was more than enough to deal with the two thieves.
Fang Xiu and his companion's fight in the Sutra Repository had already attracted the attention of the Divine Academy teacher. When they arrived, they found two petty thieves lying on the ground, and it was naturally Fang Xiu who had knocked them down.
At this moment, Fang Xiu had retracted his extra tail and the changes in his body, and looked no different from usual.
Because he defeated two thieves who attempted to break into the Sutra Pavilion, Fang Xiu was credited with a merit. Bao Zheng gave Fang Xiu a lot of pills to aid his cultivation, as well as a magic artifact. However, he didn't receive the advanced spells that Fang Xiu wanted most. In Bao Zheng's opinion, the basic spells were sufficient for Fang Xiu to use at the Jade Void stage.
After all, under normal circumstances, students of the Divine Academy are mostly in the academy and rarely leave. Furthermore, attempting to cultivate advanced spells beyond one's level in the Jade Void stage carries a high risk of backlash and is far too aggressive.
Fang Xiu wasn't disappointed that he didn't get any more advanced spells. After all, it was just a trial. If he wasn't taught here, someone else would teach him.
The pills that Bao Zheng gave to Fang Xiu were two bottles of Jade Void Pills. Unlike the Foundation-Strengthening Pills, the Jade Void Pills are pills that accelerate the cultivation speed of Jade Void cultivators.
As for magical artifacts, the basic magical artifact that Bao Zheng rewarded Fang Xiu with was a small seal called the Mountain-Suppressing Seal. It looked small and exquisite, but after being infused with magical power, it could transform into the size of a small mountain and fall down with a crash.
The more magic power is poured into it, the larger the Mountain-Suppressing Seal will become. However, it is only a primary magic artifact after all, and there is a limit to how big it can get, but it is still enough to suppress Yuxu.
It was another day of class, and it was another outdoor practical lesson. Every time this happened, Yan Xiaoqi's wails would always be heard. There was nothing he could do; he was only at the Jade Void Level 0, making him the weakest in the class and unable to beat anyone.
At this time, Yang Zichen was always the one laughing the most, because Yan Xiaoqi's mouth was so foul that it always made Yang Zichen furious.
More than two months have passed since the start of the school year, and the students in the class are clearly divided into several tiers in terms of ability.
First and foremost is Fang Xiu, who is in the top tier, at the late stage of Jade Void Realm, far ahead of the others.
Secondly, there's the trio of Heavenly Gods plus Cui Shao and Xiao Hu. Their cultivation levels are roughly the same, all at the second level of Jade Void. This is because Fang Xiu's presence has spurred them on, making them cultivate even harder. However, even so, none of them have broken through to the third level yet. Moreover, if they were to really fight, Fang Xiu believes that Chen Xiao Hu would definitely be the strongest fighter.
Next are the other students in the class. Although there are strong and weak students, they are all at the same level, which is to say, they are all weaklings.
Finally, there's Yan Xiaoqi from the Jade Void Level 0. Not to mention the entire Celestial Immortal Class 1, he's in a league of his own, just like Fang Xiu, even though he's in the bottom tier.
With Fang Xiu's current strength, continuing to attend classes is pointless, as others can't keep up with his pace. Moreover, for the sake of his upcoming actions, Fang Xiu plans to find himself a more radical teacher who can disregard school rules.
Fang Xiu proved his strength in the battle at the Sutra Pavilion, so his request for self-study was quickly approved. Chang'e also knew that with Fang Xiu's current strength, continuing to attend classes with others would only delay him.
From that day on, Fang Xiu was granted permission to cultivate alone, and he began searching for the location of Xuan Yi Residence.
Xuan Yi Zhenren, a 3000-year-old cultivator at the Chongxu stage, was once a student of Shenxiang. After graduating, he became a teacher at Shenxiang, but was forced to retire for various reasons. Currently, he is "living in seclusion" on Shenxiang Island No. 9.
Finding Xuan Yi Residence wasn't too difficult; Fang Xiu found the place that very afternoon.
"Seeking volunteers for magic experiments..."
Looking at the conspicuous sign, Fang Xiu knew he had found the right place.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, one sees an antique-style pavilion, enveloped by a barrier containing numerous small points of light flitting about.
The barrier outside Xuan Yi Residence is not a barrier that prohibits entry; the barrier is actually aimed at those small points of light, each of which is a sleepy spirit.
The so-called sleep-inducing spirit is a kind of spirit insect that can put those who come into contact with it into a state of drowsiness. However, this effect is basically only effective on mortals. Once one has cultivated magical power, one can easily stop it.
Of course, those are ordinary sleep-inducing spirits. The sleep-inducing spirits in this barrier are products enhanced by True Person Xuan Yi, capable of putting cultivators below the second level of Jade Void into a deep sleep.
But what does that have to do with Fang Xiu? He's just a sleep-deprived spirit, what can he do to him?
An invisible shield opened, isolating all the sleep-inducing spirits. Fang Xiu's expression turned serious, and he bowed to Fang Xiu of Xuan Yi Residence.
"The divine academy has just closed; please grant me an audience with the Mysterious One."
Soon, the gate of Xuan Yi Residence opened by itself without any wind, and a child who was no more than two or three years old floated out from it.
This seemingly young child is none other than the master of Xuan Yi Residence, a powerful being in the Chongxu stage who has lived for three thousand years, Xuan Yi Zhenren.
"A student of the Divine Academy?" Xuan Yi seemed to be in a strange state, his eyes bloodshot, as if he had gone mad, or rather, he had indeed gone mad. "You actually know me?"
Xuan Yi's retirement is not a recent event; logically, Fang Xiu, at his age, should not have known Xuan Yi.
"He just enrolled this year." Fang Xiu paused. "I heard about Master Xuanyi from Doctor Bai."
Dr. Bai, the school doctor of Shenxiang, was once one of Xuan Yi's disciples. Fang Xiu was not lying when he said he knew about Xuan Yi from her.
"A freshman?" Xuan Yi looked Fang Xiu up and down, clicking his tongue in amazement. "Kid, you're quite strong. It seems the Divine Academy is lucky this year, managing to recruit a prodigy like you."
"Speak, what brings you to me, Master? With your strength, none of your classmates should be a match for you, and given your talent, the Divine Academy will grant most of your requests. So, what brings you to me, Master?"
"I've come to seek guidance from the master on some magical arts." Fang Xiu raised his head, his eyes filled with determination.
"What kind of magic?"
"Intermediate and advanced spells!"
Fang Xiu's voice showed no hesitation whatsoever.
"Hmph—Hahaha! Interesting!" Xuan Yi laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
"Boy, do you know what happens if you try to cultivate a higher-level spell when your cultivation level is insufficient and fail?"
"Of course I know. At best, it will damage the meridians and disrupt the magic power; at worst, it will cause the cultivation to regress, and in severe cases, it may even endanger life."
"If that's the case, do you still want to learn?"
"certainly!"
