Chapter 4: Entering the Institute
Leaving his room, Zhou Feng spoke briefly with Mei Ling about what had happened these last few days when he was cultivating, before heading out to look around the city.
"If possible, I would still like to enter the Sacred Orchid institute to improve my relationship with the main protagonists. Besides, this was also the dream of this body in the past. But because he had no talent, it was not possible to enter the institute."
After making up my mind, I started walking towards the institute. It wasn't very far, so it only took about an hour to walk quietly.
On the way I took the opportunity to buy some more current clothes for the future, since most of my clothes were the ones that someone had already worn in the past. And I still felt a little uncomfortable about it.
I also took the opportunity to decide on some points for the future. I don't know if I can just absorb energy contained in people's bones or demonic beasts, but if so, then I must head to the ruins of the ancient city where the false Emperor Kong Ming's tomb. I know that there is a place where several people died while being trapped there, this will be a good place to increase my strength.
I also need to get the temporal demon book sheet that is currently in the Heavenly Marks family home before Nie Li notices it. Of course, I can't forget about the ancient beast egg that's also there.
Other than that, there's still the meteoric thunder sword that is inside the Holy Border. For that, I must first take some sword lessons before I get it…
Hmm… first I should get the dark demon spirit that is in the ancient city since I reached silver rank. However, I also needed a stronger technique! Even though my current technique is good enough, it's not the most perfect for me. And the only person who could get this to me in a quick way, is Nie Li! But that would make me owe him a favor, and it's possible he's not even willing to hand me a technique...
As I thought about it, I felt my consciousness being pulled somewhere all of a sudden.
'That, could it be?' I closed my eyes and let my consciousness go with the flow. When I felt that everything was fine, I opened my eyes again!
In front of me was a small altar of books, where a book was closed. On the cover of the book, there was a strange being with red skin and black eyes while its huge arms looked like they were holding a planet in their hands. There were also some words written on it, "Demon Devouring The World".
I walked calmly to the book, there was no pressure or something trying to stop me like in the novels I've read. Only that the altar trembled slightly, while the first page suddenly opened. Getting closer, I started to read the little sentence written about him.
"Demon Devouring the World: 1st level allows you to absorb the body and half of the energy of every living being to enhance your own. (Depends on your mental strength and the target's stamina)
'In the end, I can really absorb someone's body… I wonder if I could absorb Nie Li's body?'
'No!' It wouldn't do you any good if I can't get your memories'
I wasn't too surprised by this. Even though it was a good skill, it wasn't something that could be used on just anyone! Or yes, I could absorb all the people of Glory City and leave for the draconic ruins… unfortunately I'm not bad enough to do that… yet.
Still, I need a skill for self cultivation, or one that allows me to contain more than one demon spirit in my body! I'm someone reincarnated, so I must at least be stronger than the original protagonist, right?
Well… we'll see that in due course! First I should be able to get close to the main group before I decide anything.
When I arrived at the institute, there were already several students walking to their classrooms. I walked over to a place that seemed to be of some importance and started looking around.
It didn't take long for someone from the institute to notice me. And it was exactly what I wanted!
"Hey kid, what are you doing there? Don't you know this place is owned by the director?" An over-middle-aged woman walked up to me before starting to speak.
I looked at her with a polite smile, before answering carefully:
"Yes, I would like to talk about applying to study at the institute! Who should I speak to to go through the procedures?"
She looked me up and down, my clothes were very good quality, and my appearance was also very good, so she couldn't judge my past just by looking at it. So she had some qualms about talking to me.
"Are you thinking about entering the institute this time of year? Don't you know that the entrance test was already taken two months ago?" she asked curiously.
"Yes, but I've been busy this period of time so I couldn't attend the tests with the other students. Huh, how can I talk to the principal?" I asked again since I didn't want to stand here talking.
"Humph, you must first have two thousand demon spirit coins for enrollment, only then can you speak to the headmaster about it. Still, it is not certain that you will meet the requirements to enter our institute!" She said with a huff.
I smiled slightly, I already knew the requirements to enter the institute. It really was a little too rigid for some people, but nothing for the current me.
"Come with me, I'll take you to our director!" She said, and then started walking forward.
I also started following her inside. If I'm not mistaken, everyone who enters the gym has the right to choose a technique that suits them best. I can take a look at them to see if they're any better than the techniques I have in my space ring.
.....
In a room inside the Sacred Orchid Institute.
A handsome young man was facing an older man. The old man was still wearing a shocked expression to find that the young man in front of him was already at the silver rank at such a young age. This was only seen in legends written in the old library books…
After calming down a bit, the old man said again.
Even with your current strength, you still need to be tested." As Ye Sheng said this, he took out a fist-sized transparent crystal.
This ball is made from a unique material. With a wave of his hands, the ball shot towards Zhou Feng.
'It's that thing again!' Zhou Feng felt his heart skip a beat, as memories of the past flooded his mind.
That year he came with his friends to audition, the director had also taken this same sphere. Unfortunately, his friends weren't as trustworthy as he thought.
Ye Sheng said, "This is a special item in our world as it can measure a person's future potential. He can estimate his future potential at about ninety percent."
"Close your eyes and put your conscience and soul strength into it." Ye Sheng said again.
"Yes sir." I replied a little nervous. I didn't have good memories of it, so even though I practically had two souls, my heart still couldn't calm down.
Still, I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. I then closed my eyes and started to insert my soul force into the sphere.
Weng~
Circles of white light appeared inside the ball. Red, orange, yellow… Green… When it was about to stop the changes, the sphere changed to Cyan before finally stopping.
"Y-You have a cyan soul realm, which means your potential is enough to enter the Legendary Realm in the future if you train hard." Ye Sheng said shocked.
It should be known that not many people were born with a Cyan soul realm! Not to mention the cyan color, a Green Level talent would already be reason for a family to party for three days and nights in a row.
Zhou Feng was also shocked. His talent was completely different from when he last tested it.
Zhou Feng had a feeling that his 'demonic' technique did more than just suck the energy out of bodies.
Maybe…yes, maybe he could increase his talent the more people he could absorb…
"You, follow me."
Ye Sheng's eyes roamed over Zhou Feng's body from above and lowered one last time before getting up from his chair.
"Hmm!" I replied and started following him outside.
Soon, the two of us arrived in front of a large red wooden door. Ye Sheng slowly opened it, and showed what was happening on the other side.
On stage, there was a tall figure, she was wearing a lilac dress that hugged her body well, emphasizing her perky chest. She had a pair of slender white legs and wore exquisite makeup that made her look beautiful and elegant. His eyes were filled with pride and arrogance as he looked around the room full of students.
Zhou Feng couldn't help but swallow a few times when he saw her. Even knowing how arrogant she was, he still didn't change that she was a very beautiful woman. If possible, he would like to change his future to become a better person, and not have to suffer from a terrible fate.
