Chapter 962: Chapter 962: The Grandest Festival
After the course on ten types of attribute magic, the curriculum moved onto alchemy and forging, two auxiliary skills.
During the alchemy class, Teacher Moliu had previously required the students to produce a spirit pill with three clear lines. In this class, he demanded not only the three clear lines but also a fourth line, although it did not need to be very clear—a vague impression would suffice.
Xiao ng was naturally the first to complete the task; her intrinsic attribute gave her a keen perception of plants.
Qin Sisi, with the help of the Divine Fire, closely followed. After Moliu saw the spirit pill Qin Sisi had crafted, he sighed internally thinking she wouldn’t focus on mastering alchemy.
Ti slowly ticked away, and the other students gradually succeeded in producing the required spirit pills, except for Ya Ling, who consistently failed to et the standard.
After everyone else left the magic classroom, Ya Ling practiced for a long ti before barely managing to complete the task. However, the quality of her spirit pill was still far inferior to the others.
Unsatisfied with her spirit pill, Moliu intended to have her practice more. However, seeing it was getting dark and everyone else had left, Ya Ling began to act coquettishly and even promised gifts to Moliu.
After much incoherent pleading to avoid more practice, Moliu ran out of patience and finally gestured for Ya Ling to leave.
In the next day’s forging class, Qin Sisi, who practiced daily, had beco adept at forging longswords and was quite confident.
Teacher Wuduo praised Qin Sisi’s work, although it wasn’t without flaws since she hadn’t been studying forging for very long and had yet to fully grasp its essence.
Under Teacher Wuduo’s guidance, Qin Sisi continued to practice in the magic classroom of Tianjin Mountain, producing several high-quality longswords.
Ya Ling’s performance was barely satisfactory. Jealous of the praise Qin Sisi received, she beca impatient after forging two longswords and left after tossing the barely adequate swords to Teacher Wuduo.
Watching Ya Ling leave, Teacher Wuduo helplessly shook his head.
Ti flew, and the seventh round of studies passed in the blink of an eye; the task volu for each magic skill significantly increased later on.
Along with this, the magic levels of the nine students rose as well.
At the beginning of the course, they struggled to chop a rock, but now they could skillfully wield Vigor Gold Knife and other skills.
The weather was turning colder, with two heavy snowfalls already.
During snowy days, Teacher Ge Lanxue specifically had them practice in the snow.
Teacher Ge Lanxue said that snow is the spirit of cold condensed between heaven and earth, and practicing Ice Magic amid swirling snowflakes could yield twice the result with half the effort.
Indeed, everyone seed to complete the Freezing Wall and All-around Snowflakes faster that day, but everyone was shivering, their noses red as freshly plucked radishes.
Before they knew it, New Year in the Demon Sacred Realm arrived. On the first day of the month, the Demon Sacred Realm gave the students a day off, linking it with the previous three rest days, allowing them a four-day break.
After the start of school, the tenth and final round of learning will begin, and once this round is completed, the entire sester’s learning process will be fully finished.
There will be a final assessnt afterward, which Qin Sisi feels is quite similar to the final exams during her school days, only the content of the exams is different.
Heavenly Magic God’s Castle will create a report card of the students’ performances and scores in the final assessnt and let them take it ho to show their families.
The report cards from Heavenly Magic God’s Castle are not made of ordinary paper; both the paper and the writing on it are enchanted, making them impossible to destroy or alter.
Qin Sisi is sitting in her room, using fire magic to light a fire pit and roasting a sweet potato-like food with Xiao ng.
The sky outside is overcast, with a chilly wind blowing, and the snow on the ground has not completely lted; the harsh winter is raging everywhere.
"Why do you only have one day off for New Year’s?" Qin Sisi asked Xiao ng curiously, as there were over twenty days of holidays for New Year’s in the Human World.
As she tended the flas, Xiao ng replied, "New Year’s is just the start of the year, it doesn’t hold any other significance, usually, it’s just a one-day holiday for formality. The biggest festivals in the Demon Sacred Realm are the ’Divine Dragon Rising’ on the second day of February and the ’Phoenix Singing in Flowery Day’ on the twelfth of February, both conveniently during the holidays."
Qin Sisi repeated the nas of the two festivals in her mind, feeling their charm and yearningly asked, "Do these two festivals have any special significance?"
These festivals are more significant than New Year’s, there must be an extraordinary reason for it.
Nodding, Xiao ng said, "Yeah, it is said that the Demon Sacred Realm was created by the Divine Dragon on the second of February, and on the twelfth of February, the Phoenix created the humans of the Demon Sacred Realm and bestowed upon them the power of magic, making these two days the grandest festivals in the Demon Sacred Realm."
Qin Sisi nodded thoughtfully, realizing that wherever one is, there are unique cultures and customs to be found.
Here, New Year’s Day probably holds a similar status to New Year’s Day in her own world!
After the relatively leisurely holiday passed, the final round of learning began, and nine people entered the last sprint.
The task volu for the Golden Magic Course increased to five hundred and twenty stones; after nearly five months of practice, they had transford from clueless newbies handling one stone to experts who could skillfully split each stone in two with a single strike of the Vigor Gold Knife.
Basically, it took one use of the Vigor Gold Knife to split a stone in half, but still, five hundred and twenty stones were a daunting amount.
Even if they managed to handle one stone per minute, it would still take over eight hours, and besides, their magical power was not infinite; they needed to take breaks and consu Spirit Revitalizing Pills they made themselves during practice.
In the end, everyone was sweating profusely and utterly exhausted; by the ti the last person left Tianjin Mountain, it was already the deep of the night.
The task for the Wood Magic Course was lower, with two hundred and ninety iron mane boars; they still had to enter Tianmu Mountain’s Luoying Forest alone to catch the iron mane boars.
Although the task volu was lower, the effects of the Grass Shines Sunshine healing skills were not as imdiate as those of the Vigor Gold Knife; healing is a relatively slow process.
So, after the task of two hundred and ninety iron mane boars was completed, it was another vast night, but the glowing fireflies that filled the tree branches seed like the hope of the future, making the night co alive.
