Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Choosing the Daoist Academy 1
Translator: “ —
Even though Chen Mobai had predicted that he might come out victorious, truly accomplishing it still gave him an indescribable feeling.
Satisfaction, excitement, happiness…
All of those emotions welled up in him and ultimately took the form of a sense of accomplishment!
“Chen, you’re awesome!”
Below the stage, his classmates from the fifth high school gathered around, led by Lu Hongsheng. But this time, Chen Mobai was prepared and didn’t let them lift him up.
As his group of friends celebrated, Chen Mobai noticed his school’s principal and another middle-aged cultivator, who didn’t seem too pleased, approaching the man in the red robe. The other man was likely the principal of Yang Jing’s school.
After a while, Principal He Jingshan approached with a wide grin.
“Chen Mobai, you’ve brought honor to our school this time.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
“Ha ha, I will hang a banner commemorating your victory in the Magic Duel at the school entrance.”
Amidst He Jingshan’s laughter, Chen Mobai felt somewhat embarrassed.
It was too showy.
At that moment, he noticed Kong Feichen and Qing Nu approaching the stage.
The latter made eye contact with him and then picked up the unconscious Yang Jing. B
“That’s strange.”
Nmg Anning, who had gone offstage at the end of the Magic Duel, had just finished his diagnosis and was frowning as he withdrew his two fingers from Yan Jing’s wrist.
“Are you her family members?”
He hesitated a bit, glancing at Kong Feichen and Qing Nu, unsure of how to proceed.
“Mr. Ning, if she is admitted to the Imperial Medical Academy, can her condition be cured?”
Qing Nu, knowing Yang Jing’s condition, nodded and asked the most crucial question.
“It’s up to her.”
After Ning Anning gave his diagnosis and instructed Qing Nu on dietary restrictions and recovery methods, he turned and walked toward Chen Mobai.
“Are you feeling alright?”
“No significant problems.”
Even though Chen Mobai assured him, Ning Anning still took his pulse and checked his wounds, just to be safe.
These are just superficial wounds, rest for a week and you’ll be fine.” Once Ning Anning had confirmed his diagnosis, Chen Mobai followed He Jingshan to meet the man in the red robe.
“Congratulations.”
“Thank you, master.”
“As the top student in Red Sandstone City, it would reflect poorly on me if you don’t get into one of the four major Daoist Academies. But unfortunately, there’s no way for you to get into Jumang or Bu Tian. Would you be willing to change your aspirations for the sake of Kunpeng or Dance Tool, for my sake?” The man in the red robe was very straightforward; after congratulating Chen Mobai on his victory, he gave him a huge surprise.
“Absolutely willing!”
The prospect of getting into any of the four major Daoist Academies had his family’s ancestors turning in their graves with excitement, there was no room for Chen Mobai to be picky.
However, he had not anticipated that two of the academies would actually be willing to admit him.
“Very well, then. Would you prefer Kunpeng Daoist Institute, or Dance Tool Dao Academy? Why not hear what the representatives from each Academy have to say first?”
The man in the red robe pointed to Lan Haitian and Bian Yiqing standing beside him and handed over the stage to them.
“You’ve demonstrated talent in Magic Duels, and the spells you used were primarily water attributed.”
“If you were to enter Kunpeng Daoist Institute, you could train in the art of Kun Essence, a supreme technique second only to the Six Imperial Scriptures.” “Once you’ve achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection, we still have some Kun Essence Blood in our institute. Consuming it in conjunction with the Kun Essence Technique could increase your chances of attaining Foundation Establishment by ten percent.”
Lan Haitian set out his terms with a smile, which surprised Chen Mobai.
To his mind, being able to enter a Daoist Academy was dignified enough! Did his performance truly stand out, garnering the attention of delegates from all four major Daoist Academies, or did Lan Haitian have other motives?
“In our Dance Tool Dao Academy, we also possess some spiritual objects that aid in Foundation Establishment. But, like the Kun Essence Blood, they need to be exchanged using academic points.”
As soon as Bian Yiqing started speaking, he pointed out what Lan Haitian failed to mention in his proposition. Apparently, the Kun Essence Blood wasn’t free, but needed to be exchanged using academic points.
“As for the cultivation techniques, due to my humble realm, I won’t give you any guidance. If you join our academy, you can ask the Core Formation professors after school begins.”
After saying this, Bian Yiqing glanced at the man in the red robe, indicating to Chen Mobai that he too was a teacher of Dance Tool Dao Academy.
However, Chen Mobai completely missed the meaning behind his glance. Right now, he was completely immersed in his joy, initially thinking that his score was insufficient and he couldn’t get into his desired academy.
But after his victory in the Magic Duel, his performance had impressed the representatives of two academies.
Should he go to Kunpeng Daoist institute or Dance Tool Dao Academy?
If it had been earlier, he would have definitely chosen Kunpeng Daoist institute, given its claim as the best among immortals and its highly-qualified teaching staff.
But after his late-night conversation with Qing Nu, he understood his own pursuit.
“I want to go to Dance Tool Dao Academy!”
Chen Mobai announced his choice without hesitation.
His choice took Bian Yiqing by surprise.
Given a choice between Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Dance Tool Dao
Academy, most students would opt for Kunpeng.
He didn’t expect Chen Mobai to choose his academy, and that too with such firm conviction and without any hesitation.
“Oh, you won’t reconsider? There’s no hurry; after all, this decision will influence the rest of your life. We can give you a few days to think it over.”
Chen Mobai shook his head at the man in red robe’s suggestion.
He had thoroughly thought this through!
This was his path!
His first choice was Dance Tool Dao Academy, followed by Pure Yang Academy.
“Very well, let’s settle it then.”
Seeing Chen Mobai’s determined gaze, the man in the red robe clapped his hands in joy. He then motioned for He Jingshan to retrieve Chen Mobai’s previous application form and make necessary amendments.
After the application was completed, he handed it over to Bian Yiqing.
” What a pity.”
Lan Haitian sighed regretfully.
“May I ask why you didn’t choose Kunpeng Daoist institute? Was it because of the misunderstanding between us earlier?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head.
Actually, he didn’t have any issues with Lan Haitian, but he obviously couldn’t mention his plan to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll in public. In the end, he chose a suitable yet hasty reason.
“The reason I was able to cultivate my divine sense is because I listened to a piece by the Bian family, known as the ‘Spring Festival Banquet’. I can be considered as a half-disciple of the Bian family, and naturally, I would choose Dance Tool Dao academy under similar circumstances.”
Hearing Chen Mobai’s explanation, Bian Yiqing was at a loss for a moment.
Then, he looked at Chen Mobai more closely.
Because he had performed all over the thirty-six heavenly caves and seventy-two blessed places with the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe, he had seen a vast number of audiences, and initially, he didn’t recall Chen Mobai.
But after hearing what Chen Mobai said, his memory of the event was clear as day, thanks to his Core Formation divine sense. After all, in these years, he had only performed once in Red Sandstone City.
“Good boy, respecting the masters and their teachings.”
The man in the red robe nodded satisfactorily after hearing this..
