The moment Jiang Che stepped through the gates of the Cultivator Academy, he was hit by a massive surge of fortune energy—so intense it almost formed a dragon of destiny!
Instantly, Jiang Che’s interest piqued!
He had assumed that the fortune children inside the Immortal Academy would be about the same level as those in the Destiny Association, but now it seemed... the Destiny Association on Blue Star was simply no match!
“Che’er, up ahead is the academy. I’ve gathered all those old geezers to be your teachers, but I guess these kids will catch up in strength soon enough. When that happens, you’ll have to help me keep their arrogance in check,” Jiang Yunhuang patted Jiang Che’s shoulder.
“No problem, that’s my specialty,” Jiang Che replied with a grin he couldn’t hide.
Ahem, it’s Jiang Yunhuang who told me to beat you guys down, so don’t blame me!
……
At the arena.
“Wang Xuan, you lost!”
“No... I haven’t lost yet. Huh? Haha... I just broke through to the late Soul Shaping Realm. What? You broke through too?”
“...”
On the stage, two young men sparred fiercely, surrounded by a dense crowd.
Fortune children were like this—challenging opponents several ranks above them was as easy as drinking water, and breaking through during battle was just basic skill!
Meanwhile, Jiang Che sat comfortably on the high platform, sipping his tea leisurely.
His heart was already bursting with joy.
Chumps! All of them are chumps!
Among nearly 200 students at the Cultivator Academy, only a dozen or so weren’t fortune children; the rest were all destined ones.
And the level of their fortune energy was generally higher than those in the Destiny Association.
Jiang Young Master’s exclusive pasture!
“*Hiss*... My lord husband, these people... all seem to carry massive fortune energy!” Mo Lianxing exclaimed.
“Of course. After all, the Cultivator Academy was established to sift out 90% of the gifted in the Dragon Nation! Even the top-tier geniuses who appear once in millions—there are hundreds of them here!” Jiang Che’s gaze swept across the Soul Shaping Realm students.
Out of nearly 180 ordinary students, over 60 possessed various systems.
Most of these systems revolved around cultivation—sign-in systems, bragging systems, big con artist systems, breakdown value systems... a never-ending stream of styles.
But rank is rank. The items sold in a system’s shop reflect its tier and ceiling.
These systems clearly weren’t top-tier; at best, their users could only cultivate up to the Martial God Realm before hitting a wall.
Jiang Che yawned, watching the fortune children on the arena fight like cricket matches.
It was all about whose fortune level was higher!
“Why isn’t there a single fortune girl? It’s all just a bunch of guys...” Jiang Che muttered, somewhat disappointed. He was curious to taste what a destined girl was like!
“J-Jiang Young Master, for some reason... we haven’t found any talented girls in the Soul Shaping Realm yet,” an old man standing beside Jiang Che smiled apologetically.
That old man was none other than Ai Kun, the legendary Grandmaster of the Ai family in the ancient martial arts world!
Before the spiritual energy revival, he had already reached the late Grandmaster stage. Now, with the spiritual energy restored, naturally, he was invited by Jiang Yunhuang to teach at the Immortal Academy.
In a place like the Immortal Academy, where spiritual energy was at its peak, he had long since broken through to the Heaven-Breaking Realm.
“Alright, from now on, if you come across any genius girls... make sure to bring them into the Immortal Academy, got it?”
Jiang Che said, while Ai Kun flashed a sly grin. “Young Master Jiang, I got it, I got it!”
Who didn’t know that Young Master Jiang had a thing for beauties?
“Ah~ I guess those destined girls are all busy falling in love,” Jiang Che muttered with a hint of sarcasm.
“Old Ai, why are these guys so damn competitive?” Jiang Che asked.
These chosen ones all seemed like rabid dogs. Just a moment ago, some youngster even used the Blood Ignition Secret Technique to win.
“Young Master Jiang, there’s a prize for this match. First place gets a Superior Spirit Stone and a bottle of fourth-grade elixir...” Ai Kun said.
Jiang Che’s mouth twitched.
First place only gets one Superior Spirit Stone?
I thought it would be something good!
One Superior Spirit Stone is enough to make you all fight tooth and nail?
Obviously, these chosen ones didn’t have much vision.
“One Superior Spirit Stone? That’s so pathetic! After all, this is our Immortal Academy’s first competition, we need to set an example for our students!”
“All rewards, doubled!” Jiang Che waved his hand grandly.
Top-tier Spirit Stones sell for 1 million points in Jiang Che’s system, which is quite pricey, but Superior Spirit Stones are different — one only costs about 10,000 points, and sometimes the system even runs flash sales where you can grab a bunch of Spirit Stones at a discount.
“Ah? Doubled?” Ai Kun’s eyes widened.
“That’s right! Doubled!”
...
Soon, the competition within the academy reached a fever pitch.
Five inner disciples also stepped onto the stage!
“Hm? Well, well... what a stroke of luck!” Jiang Che sat up straight.
Just as he expected, except for Jiang Ruoxu, the other four were all chosen ones!
[Beep! Detected chosen one ‘Wang Teng’]
[Wang Teng, Thunder Dao Sacred Spirit Root, Saint-level physique ‘Azure Thunder Overlord Body,’ Level 8 Chosen One, personality arrogant and unruly, confident and proud]
[Pei Xiu, no physique, possesses the system ‘Unscientific Cultivation,’ Level 8 Chosen One, lively personality, skilled at calculation...]
[Yu Chengkong, Innate Sword Body, Innate Sword Heart, Innate Sword Bone, Innate Sword Soul, Level 8 Chosen One, calm and collected, taciturn but decisive in battle]
[Chu Yuan (clone), an ordinary-looking person, Level 9 Chosen One, Innate Chaos Body, extremely cautious personality, acts with great care...]
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes.
That makes sense! No wonder these guys advanced so quickly to the Yuan Realm — they were born for this!
Jiang Che’s villainous system could detect the luck levels of chosen ones; only those above level 7 could be called ‘Destined Ones.’
The so-called Destiny Association folks might call themselves chosen, but most of them don’t even deserve that title!
“A Sacred Spirit Root plus a Saint-level Body? One with no physique but bound to a system? Another with an Innate Sword Body... their potential must be huge. As for the last one...”
Jiang Che’s gaze fixed on this guy named Chu Yuan. The kid’s appearance was utterly ordinary—so average that he would be completely unrecognizable lost in a crowd.
But this was a Ninth-Level Destiny Lord!
That’s right, while everyone else was a Destiny Child, Chu Yuan alone was the Destiny Lord!
And his physique... it was also a Chaos Body?
Isn’t this awkward?
His fake Chaos Body had just run into a real Chaos Body?
“Hu... Husband, am I seeing this right? How come there are so many Sacred Bodies? And there’s... yet another Chaos Body? Wait... this person is just an incarnation?”
Mo Lianxing was utterly stunned!
This was just too ridiculous!
