C34 It's Just a Hand

Under the setting sun, Mingsi stood quietly on the platform by the window, his eyes flashing with the glow of the setting sun. His face was still pale, but there was a hint of red in his pale face. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, lost in thought.

Mingsi kept thinking about what the dean had said just now.

He did need an outsider to guide him. How could a fifteen year old like him see through the world? How could he have such broad horizons?

The blow to him from this incident was like a huge rock weighing heavily on his heart. Losing an arm made him feel as if his body was covered in a layer of shadow. At this moment, it was as if the rock in Mingsi's heart had become much lighter, and his heart had become much clearer.

"I will become stronger. In the future, I will have to travel around China. I also want to see this so-called cultivation world!" Mingsi took a deep breath and shouted towards the direction of the sunset.

"One arm is nothing!"

. . . . . .

On the other side of the Southern Pearl Institute, Elder Black Feather saw the dean flying over and went forward to ask, "How is it?"

"This kid has a very high comprehension ability. I have already guided him. He should be able to figure it out. " Ye Yuntian looked at Hei Yu and said faintly.

"You didn't tell him about his father, did you. . . ?" Hei Yu asked.

"I can't tell him for now. I'll tell him when he knows. " After Ye Yuntian finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer and flew away. "Take good care of him. "

Hei Yu looked at the distant figure of Ye Yuntian and remained silent.

When the sun was about to set, Ziming came to Mingsi's room again as usual. When he pushed the door open and entered, a piece of light wood fell from the crack of the door above his head and smashed into his head.

Ziming, who was hit, was not angry. Instead, his eyes were filled with surprise. He immediately looked forward and saw Mingsi sitting on the windowsill facing the door. He was leaning against the window with one hand, and his legs were moving back and forth in the air.

"Mingsi, you. . . " Ziming was surprised and in disbelief. Seeing Mingsi like this, he lowered his head to look at the piece of light wood, and his eyes were filled with joy.

Tears appeared in Ziming's eyes. His lips were slightly pursed, and the mole at the corner of his mouth was shaking up and down as the corner of his mouth moved. There were tears on that familiar face.

"What are you crying for? Mingsi jumped off the windowsill and slowly walked towards Ziming.

Ziming could not help but cry. He rushed towards Mingsi and hugged him tightly.

"Look at you. You don't have much momentum like this. . . " Mingsi also felt sour at the tip of his nose. He held it in and comforted him.

Ziming took a step back and punched Mingsi's chest hard. "Stinking brat! You scared me to death these few days!"

"Pfft. . . " Mingsi bent down slightly in pain. He rubbed his chest and complained, "I lost a hand! You have to give me time to slow down, right?"

"Then. . . So you have thought it through?" Ziming wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes.

Mingsi was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head. "Not really, but it doesn't matter. I think I will slowly accept it in the future. " As Mingsi spoke, his right hand gently touched the empty sleeve on his left, and said with a smile, "Isn't it just a hand. . . "

Ziming looked at Mingsi and felt sour in his heart again.

"Hey, hey, why are you crying again?" Mingsi saw what happened and quickly said, "Go, go, eat! I heard that the wild meat shop in the east district has new things!" Mingsi pulled Ziming and left.

"I heard it's very expensive. . . " Ziming frowned and said.

"Don't worry, it's your treat. " Mingsi pulled Ziming and rushed out of the room. He left a string of laughter echoing in the corridor.

"Mingsi, tell me, how did you figure it out?"

"Dean Ye came to talk to me. "

"Director! What did he say?

Mingsi said to Ziming in detail as he ate the roasted meat. After a long time, Ziming heard what Mingsi said, and his eyes revealed a look of understanding.

The night covered everything on the ground. Mingsi and Ziming each held a bowl of fruit juice, and walked unsteadily on the main road of the academy. The moonlight pulled their shadows very long. Occasionally, their shadows would interweave and jump, and the sound of playing could not be stopped. It was just like when they had returned from hunting in the Hundred Beasts Forest in Chang'an City.

The next day, Mingsi arrived at the platform at the top of the World Spirit Tree. He walked into an open space, where a dozen or so students were quietly meditating. They were students of Class One and were currently waiting for Chenjing's arrival.

When Mingsi walked in, they all had surprised expressions on their faces. Many people even walked up to greet him.

"It's all thanks to you this time. Our class's ranking is quite high!"

"Are you alright. . . "

"[Welcome back!]"

Among the group of people, an honest looking thin youth walked out. He walked in front of Mingsi with a grateful expression on his face. "Mingsi, thank you for saving my life!"

Mingsi remembered that this person was Mu Yu, one of the students who had been caught that day.

"It seems like your injuries have fully healed. . . " Mingsi said with a smile.

"Aren't you the same?" Mu Yu said with a smile.

Mingsi looked at his arm and paused for a second. Everyone winked at each other, hinting Mu Yu to stop talking about this.

Mingsi slowly raised his head and grinned. "Haha, it's fine, it's fine. It's just a hand. . . Look, I still have a hand. You have to be careful of my wind swirl in the future! "

Everyone paused for a moment before laughing as well.

After chatting with everyone for a while, Mingsi stood to the side and prepared to meditate. At this moment, three people walked over. Before Mingsi could say anything, Liu Junyan's voice was heard first.

"Mingsi, Mingsi!"

"Mingsi, we shouldn't have separated that day. Chenwei frowned and said.

"It's not your fault. If you had come, you might have been injured as well. " Mingsi said seriously.

"I feel that if we were partners, we shouldn't have said this!" Liu Junyan said with a smile.

Mingsi nodded and said, "Yes, don't worry about me!"

"I mean you should accept our apology. . . " Liu Junyan said again.

Mingsi laughed. "

Ling Zehong, who was standing next to him, had a calm expression on his face as he quietly looked at Mingsi.

Ling Zehong frowned when he saw Mingsi looking at him. He was at a loss for words. "Uh. . . Well, it's just a hand. Well. . . "

"Yeah, it's nothing. I've also seen a guy with two hands missing! Right! Another guy whose legs were chopped off! Cultivation is lacking in power! It was very common for one to have a lower body and legs. Look at you, you're still alright. . . " Liu Junyan gestured with his hands and feet and said in a serious manner.

Everyone blushed with shame. Mingsi also shook his head and smiled. At the same time, he threw a tornado over. Ling Zehong immediately condensed a mud shield in front of him.

"Bang!" A soft sound of impact was heard. Ling Zehong said in surprise, "His attack is so heavy. . . "

Mingsi was also a little surprised. The wind that he had condensed earlier should have been able to break his shield and blow them up. However, it was actually so easily neutralized. Mingsi asked in surprise, "When did your Spiritual Qi become so thick?"

"It's not just him. . . We are the same!" At this moment, Chen Ziming who was walking over said, "In the past half month, we have already entered the spirit realm. Right now, we are all true cultivators!"

"Hehe, me too!" Chenwei and Liu Junyan said at the same time with a smile on their faces.

Liu Junyan stretched out his hands proudly. Suddenly, a ball of fire condensed and jumped between his fingers. It was as agile as a fire elf.

"This is a spiritual body that can only be formed by Qi Spirit Stage warriors! Although it is very thin, its power is much greater than before!" As he spoke, he waved his palm and threw it towards the ground. The flame on his palm flew out at an extreme speed, instantly burning a small tree.

"What. . . So fast!" Mingsi was stunned when he heard that. After thinking for a while, he gradually came to a realization. Although the Small Saber Spiritual Association ended ahead of time, the consumption and replenishing of spirit energy for the past ten days had been constantly circulating. Moreover, there was a constant familiarity with the basic spells that he had just learned, so the ten days of the Spiritual Gathering could be considered a very good training for the students.

Many people had already reached the second level of the Spirit Ascension Stage before the Spirit Gathering. After going through the Spirit Gathering's training and the academy's reward of the Extreme Spirit Pill, it was very normal for many people to break through to the Qi Spirit Stage.

Furthermore, the first year of cultivation in the academy was already more than half a year ago. The spirit realm was also part of the academy's training program. After all, the training in the latter half of the year was carried out on the basis that the students had reached the Qi Spirit Stage.

"In that case, the slowest person at this moment is me. . . " Mingsi muttered, "That's right, I've been delayed for so long. It's time to tidy up!" Mingsi made up his mind that he must enter secluded cultivation these few days!

Thinking about it carefully, he had obtained a total of three Extreme Spirit Pills! With this, with the effect of the Extreme Spirit Pill, no matter how bad his luck was, he would still be able to advance a level! Adding on the accumulation of this period of time, he might be able to advance another level!

"Moreover, after I gained sentience, the speed at which I fused with spirit energy is so fast. I don't believe that my cultivation speed will be slow! I won't stop until I reach the spirit realm in this secluded cultivation! "

That evening, Mingsi arrived at the academy's central square. He stood in front of the huge scroll building and felt inexplicable joy in his heart. He muttered to himself, "Mentor said that there are a million books hidden here. The answer I want can be found here!"

Then, Mingsi walked in.

When he entered the academy, the first thing he saw was a large hall. The hall was hollow, and it led straight to the sky above. Next to the hall was the surrounding floors.

The structure inside was made of wood and limestone. Between the green and white colors, an ancient and elegant aura arose spontaneously. As one walked inside, it made one feel as if they were passing through the long corridor of history.

Mingsi spent an hour to roughly understand the internal layout of the academy. At this moment, he was slowly climbing up until he arrived at the ninth floor before stopping.

Mingsi came to the ninth floor and looked up along the staircase of the tenth floor. There was a distorted spatial wall there. Mingsi knew that this was the Space Gate. The academy only opened the floors to ordinary students below the ninth floor. If one wanted to look through more, they needed to have a corresponding contribution.

Mingsi's eyes lit up slightly, "The tenth floor contains the academy's precious magic!" Mingsi thought for a while and then sighed. He turned around and walked to the corridor on the ninth floor.

"The Catalog of Seaweed. . . No. . . "

"The Weapon Manual of the Central Plains. . . No. . . "

"The Guide of the Spiritual Beasts of the Sea. . . This is not it either. "

"Dunhuang Flying Heavens. Origin History. . . Flying Heavens? Sigh, that's not it either. . . "

Mingsi passed by one room after another. However, none of them were what he was looking for.

After a long time, when Mingsi was about to reach the end of the corridor, he finally saw the room he was looking for. "So it's here. If I had known earlier, I would have come this way. . . "

Mingsi looked at the words on the door in front of him, and his face revealed a joyful expression. He muttered, "Physical body cultivation!"
