Natural Awakening: The 3 Strongest Students of the War God Academy!
Chapter 33 Natural Awakening: The Three Strongest Members of the War God Academy!
"This is the First-Grade Realm..."
Feeling the surging power within him, Chen Fan unconsciously clenched his fists tightly.
"Click-clack!"
The joints cracked, and the energy exploded!
Perhaps from the perspective of "quantity", after breaking through to the first-grade realm, Chen Fan's star power increased significantly compared to before the breakthrough, but it was not exaggerated to the point of increasing several times.
But after opening up eight main veins and one hundred and twenty-five branch veins, and forging the Star Sea, his current power is definitely at least three times stronger than before the breakthrough!
Before this, he possessed star power comparable to that of a first-grade cultivator, but he didn't know how to use it at all.
Moreover, without opening up the meridians, it is difficult to use star power.
Now that he has broken through to the first-grade realm, Chen Fan feels like he has been reborn!
With such power, coupled with a suitable weapon, killing ordinary level 3 monsters is not difficult at all!
On the other hand, Chen Fan vaguely sensed that the Beast Taming Space seemed to have changed as well.
He had seen information about this on the Beast Taming Forum before... When a Beast Tamer's cultivation level increases, their soul power also increases.
As soul power increases, the beast taming space will become larger and more stable.
Beast tamers use star power to nourish their tamers, and the increased soul power of the tamers, in turn, allows them to better nurture their beasts.
"Meow!"
Xiao Bai leaped into the air and landed in Chen Fan's arms.
She kept rubbing her little head against Chen Fan's chest.
After Chen Fan broke through, she seemed even happier than when she herself broke through.
Not to be outdone, Emerald climbed to the side, preparing to jump onto Chen Fan's shoulder.
But after looking at it, he still chose Chen Fan's head, and with a whoosh, it landed on Chen Fan's head again... It seemed that Chen Fan's head gave him the most sense of security.
Chen Fan gently patted Xiaobai, then patted Emerald: "Thank you. Thanks to you, I have the power I have now and was able to break through so smoothly."
"Over the next few days, I'm going to help you improve your combat power level."
Then, he turned around and bowed to Li Shengshi, saying, "Thank you, teacher!"
Li Sheng smiled broadly, waved his hand, and said, "You are my student, so it's only right that I guide you."
"Very good, very good!"
"This kind of talent is comparable to Chu Xuan's!"
"Starting today, our Class 5 will have eight students at the First Rank."
Chen Fan was taken aback: "Only eight First-Rank Realm experts in a class?"
"What do you think?" Li Sheng scoffed. "Ordinary beast tamers and star warriors only awaken their talents after the age of eighteen, through awakening guidance... which is around the beginning of their senior year of high school. At that time, everyone is considered to have just entered the world of beast taming."
"Only a very small percentage of geniuses will awaken naturally after the age of sixteen without any guidance or intervention."
"Chu Xuan is the first student in this year's cohort of students from the three major academies in Donghai City to naturally awaken his powers."
"Fang Qingqing is the second one."
"Ye Hao... Although Ye Hao likes to mess around, he can be described as having exceptional talent. He is the third Beast Tamer in our War God Academy to awaken naturally."
"These three are the three strongest in our War God Academy."
"Putting aside how talented they are... when you arrived at the reception plaza to provide awakening guidance, they had already been cultivating for two years. How can you compare?"
"Of course, you're an exception..."
"You just arrived and you've already signed contracts for two beast taming contracts."
"On the very day he arrived at the school, he broke through to the First Grade Realm..."
"Hehehe, I'm going to give that fatso a good dressing down later!"
"When I asked him for authorization to use the cultivation method this morning, he absolutely refused, saying that there had never been such a precedent before and that we absolutely could not set a precedent."
"I had a huge argument with him before he finally gave you the authorization."
"If he knew that you broke through to the first-grade realm in less than a day after obtaining the cultivation technique, he'd probably be dumbfounded!"
"Hiss hiss hiss!" Little White grinned.
Chen Fan poured Li Sheng a glass of water and then asked, "What are the current cultivation levels of the three strongest students in this year's War God Academy, Chu Xuan and the others?"
After taking a sip of water, Li Sheng said, "Chu Xuan, Fang Qingqing, and Ye Hao have all reached the fifth level of the first rank."
"They're just one step away from reaching the second rank."
"Maybe this month, maybe next month."
"First Rank, Fifth Heaven..." Chen Fan recalled the imposing aura Chu Xuan displayed when facing the Queen Ant and nodded secretly.
It is really strong.
No wonder it could keep a level 5 queen ant in check.
If Chu Xuan had made a move back then, he wouldn't have needed the Heavy Beetle King and the Desert Wind Eagle to do anything; he could have easily chopped the ant queen into pieces.
Ye Hao's strength should be only slightly inferior to Chu Xuan's.
As for Fang Qingqing, if Chen Fan hadn't seen her with three level 5 beasts, he probably would have mistaken her for a weak girl...
I never imagined it would reach this level!
This is simply incomparable...
They have already begun their quest for the second rank, but the people in the reception plaza have not yet even entered the first rank.
At this moment, Li Sheng said again, "Chen Fan, now that you have reached the first-grade realm, you will also represent our academy in the arena competition between the three major academies half a month after the start of the semester."
"The arena competition between the three academies in half a month?" Chen Fan's expression shifted slightly.
He had heard Fang Qingqing mention this before.
Fang Qingqing wanted to heal the Silver Moon Green Feather Bird as soon as possible so as not to delay the arena competition.
Chen Fan said somewhat speechlessly, "Teacher, I've only just broken through to the first rank, and I haven't even had time to practice my swordsmanship or any other skills yet. You want me to fight against a first-rank fifth-level expert who has been cultivating for several years?"
"They each have several level 5 beasts with them."
"Where are there so many people at the fifth level of the first rank?" Li Sheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Our academy has thirty beast-taming classes and forty star warrior classes, and only Chu Xuan and his two companions have reached the fifth level of the first rank."
"So many classes... No wonder the academy felt so big when I came here; it took me ages to walk from the main gate to the dormitory." Chen Fan clicked his tongue in amazement.
But thinking about it, it's normal...
This time, there were 20,000 people at the reception plaza, and more than 14,000 of them eventually awakened, and were divided into three colleges, with nearly 5,000 people in each college.
Five thousand people is not all, because there are also "local" students, and there may be even more local students.
……
Li Sheng continued, "At Huanhai Academy, only Shen Hongxiu and her cousin Shen Daodao have reached the fifth level of the first rank."
"Tiansheng Academy also has two students at the fifth level of the first rank. One of them provoked Chu Xuan seven days ago and was severely injured by Chu Xuan, along with his beast. He is still in the hospital and it is unknown whether he will be able to be discharged in half a month."
Chen Fan: "..."
Li Sheng: "Among the eight First-Rank Realm cultivators in our Class 5, apart from Chu Xuan, the strongest is only at the Third Level of the First-Rank Realm, and there is only one of them."
"Then there are two more who are at the second level of the first rank."
"The rest are all at the first level of the first grade, just like you."
"Don't be afraid. When you encounter someone at the fifth level of the first rank, I'll just throw a towel at them and admit defeat."
"..." Chen Fan rolled his eyes.
Li Sheng: "Don't tell anyone about your breakthrough today."
"I will tell the dean of students and the principal about your breakthrough later, but I will also ask them to keep it a secret."
Chen Fan: "Teacher, what do you want to do?"
