Kranos felt a wave of spatial fluctuations wash over him, the next moment he appeared in a familiar environment, the air had their Familiar feel, kranos slowly opened his eyes and realised that he was back at the immortal world.
However his heart was far from calm, he could still remain that massive hand that just the weight alone could crush the planet, kranos longed to have such strength! He didn’t feel the slightest bit of fear, it only strengthened his resolve to reach the peak of this world! Content orıginally comes from novel·fiɾe·net
His thoughts then wandered to what happened few moments before he vanished, he still recalled how the time pause ability couldn’t restrict the massive hand, he had also realised that even with the power to control time, at his level there were still limitations.
It seems if the enemy is too strong they can forcefully break out of my ability. Kranos couldn’t help but ponder deeply, suddenly he heard a startled voice coming from beside him.
"is this... The immortal world?" it was a male voice. Kranos turned to look at the man, he realised that it was a kid of similar age to him, the kid look extremely dishevelled as though he had been through countless trials.
He then glanced around and noticed his surroundings, they had appeared in a large grassland that encompassed everyone. He noticed that he and the young boy weren’t the only ones here, there were countless other cultivators.
Kranos also noticed some familiar faces-his cousins. And there were a few people he recognised prior to the descent, he realised that their appearance had changed greatly and they seemed to have matured slightly.
Kranos was also curious what kind of world the others had descended to, there was also the fact that he didn’t encounter any other cultivators like himself.
although he felt something was wrong he didn’t think too much about it since the teleportation was random, maybe by coincidence no one appeared in the same planet as him.
At this moment a calm voice resounded in everyone’s ears, "welcome, first year students of the royal cultivators academy." kranos gaze was immediately attracted to a cultivator hovering in mid-air as he spoke.
Although he didn’t know the realm of cultivation of the figure he could guess that the figure was undoubtedly powerful since he was ably to fly. It was a middle aged man whom he was familiar with, upon closer look kranos immediately realised it was the Dean.
The Dean smiled slightly as he stared at the group of students, his gaze paused slightly on kranos and a weir expression flashed past his face for a fleeting moment, afterall kranos was dressed in black robes and had a mask on his face, it didn’t seem like he did anything good during his descent.
The Dean didn’t think too much about it and his gaze continued to scan the crowd, "you all did well, unfortunately we lost some of you, however the number of students rolling this year is still much higher." the Dean noted.
"Since you have successfully passed the trial I will tell you what you will be doing while at the academy. From your token we will be able to calculate how much merit points you obtained, these merit points can be used to purchase cultivation resources, attend lessons, and many more as you will slowly explore."
"similarly, based on your cultivation realms you will be grouped into classes, alpha and beta, for those in the qi condensation realm and foundation establishment realm respectively. As for those in the golden core realm, you can directly take a test to enter second year."
"however, it is preferable for you to spend some months in the first year and gain some basic knowledge which will not be taught in the second year."
The Dean didn’t talk much and after he was done he turned to an elder who had appeared midway during his speech and spoke before vanishing, "elder rotund, will lead you to your dorm rooms where you’ll be staying.
Kranos and the others looked at the elder, he seemed quite fat under his blue robe and had long beard, his eyes looked slightly mischievous. He turned to kranos and the others which numbered more than 500 and said, "those of you at the qi condensation realm, wait behind, when I’m done I will show you to your dorm rooms."
Soon after the number of cultivators decreased drastically to over a hundred, immediately after the elder led kranos and the others through the forest, and after navigating their way round for a few meters they finally appeared in what seemed like a large mountain-like structure.
Kranos’ eyes immediately widened at the number of buildings present, there were too numerous, numbering past hundred. As soon as they reached the elder said to then, "pick a room and rest, in a week’s time your seniors will come and show you to your classes, as well as the shopping pavilion"
After saying a few things the elder then disappeared in a gust of wind waving the stunned students. Everyone stood with no one dating to be the first to move, no one wanted to draw attention to themselves.
Kranos pondered for a bit, he didn’t want his house to be in the outskirts of the buildings, in the case something happened he wouldn’t have to bear the full brunt of the attack, the same applied to living at the further end.
In that case he decided to pick a building at the center, not willing to hide his strength and let others pick on him, kranos figure immediately faded. Everyone was immediately stunned.
"who’s that guy?" a puzzled voice rang out.
"to think he possesses the space element?"
"yeah, such a rare elemental affinity actually appeared here! By the way did anyone noticed that he looked like a robber?"
"that’s true, don’t tell me he actually used his space element for that?"
"now that you mentioned it, that isn’t such a bad idea"
Following kranos’ departure the other cultivators began choosing their homes one after the other.
