Bam!
Donghai fell to the ground, feeling the weight of both wooden water buckets suspended in mid-air by his stick across his shoulders.
F***!
He, a grown man 3 years shy of 30, had no tears but wanted to cry.
His water... His precious water he filled up from the streams far below the towering mountain was splashed because of the stupid stone he stumbled on.
These last 5 days had allowed him to understand how pitiful Handyn truly were.
All Academy cleaning and work, whether It was sweeping the pavilion's first floor or harvesting resources, it was all their doing.
During these last 5 days, the only classes they had were on their first day here.
The entire day, they were taught the basics of cultivation, allowing them to channel qi into the many channels in their bodies.
This was too shocking, as Donghai found he could look into himself without a doctor!
You have to know that even the crazy dical Hous jumped about like fleas after seeing such a miraculous discovery.
They were also taught about the overall workings of the Academy, as well as what they, Handyn, stood for in this place.
They were given a complete run down on exorcism, what levels and ranks existed, and how to advance independently.
This schooling system was really eye-opening because the Academy would never check on one's progress daily.
No... They had a certain system in place to make many fight for progress.
That is, once in the Outer Sect, if one doesn't continue moving towards the inner set before a certain deadline, they'll stop being students, automatically becoming elders in charge of the outer sect and handyman sectors.
.
Donghai quickly learned that it was a harsh world here. And only efforts would get rewarded.
Of course, if a strong person volunteers to be an elder in the outer sect, the situation would be far different.
A strong elder worthy of being an Inner sect elder who wants to stay as an outer sect Elder would get higher bi-weekly pills and coins than the standard elders there.
But, this fact wouldn't be the sa as elders in the inner set. It would fall in between.
Anyway, just like Disciples, Elders also had various privileges based on their status in the academy, their exorcism ranks, their strength, and their abilities.
All these Donghai and many understood.
And after an entire day of having classes and exploring the vast sector for Handyn, their spirits were only filled with adventure and a thirst for more.
Even more startling was that all these mountains, hills, and floating lands surrounding their current region, were just for them, the Handyn.
This alone showed how massive the Academy's site was.
Of course, so of these places were public regions that all disciples could use. The only reason they were positioned in this handyman corner was that their maintenance would be done by them, the handyn.
The sa went for the general buildings used by all.
.
Pff~
Donghai heard a chuckle from behind.
"Leah, you dare to laugh at your superior?"
Leah placed her buckets down and calmly helped Donghai up. "Sorry, sir. I wasn't laughing at you, but laughing with you."
Donghai rolled his eyes heavenwards.
She was still the sa, even after they ca in together.
Today, he, Leah, and 3 others were tasked with fetching water from the pink stream far below and filling the pond above the mountain.
On day 2 of arriving, they were tired, only managing to make one trip.
But after cultivating throughout the night, they found their bodies able to perform miracles, with them able to do well over 6 trips.
And as the days went by, their trip number increased steadily.
And now, they could each do at least 30 trips before the day ended. And this was them running up and down the mountain surprisingly without rest.
Hell! Who would've thought the human body was this capable?
(^π^)
All they needed to do was keep their qi circulating, eat during al tis to keep energy levels up and train their bodies to adjust to their new found speed and strength.
Though still in the mortal realm of cultivation, their eye sights had beco so clear that Donghai wondered if he had developed superpowers.
Initially, they thought these tasks were aningless, but as ti passed, they found their control over many aspects becoming sharper and sharper.
And what was this? Why was their mory improving significantly?
Wow!
Donghai felt if he went back to school now, he would be a genius beyond asure.
These powers... These powers were really unfair to the normal folks, making him feel like a higher evolutionized human.
Tch!
Sure enough. It's only fitting that those selected to be exorcists should stay in here and train, picking in others their own 'size.'
.
Donghai sighed.
"Alright. Alright. I'll be heading down to get more water. We must fill the pond before the end of the day, or our bi-weekly quota will be deducted.
Yes!
Leah nodded like a squirrel, rushing up the mountain when thinking of the mysterious rewards they were entitled to every 2 weeks.
They didn't know the true benefits of these pills. But this didn't stop them from being excited, feeling the pills would have so magical effects.
Of course, so were still wary but soon lost all wariness after spending many days here.
Donghai clenched his fist, running down the mountain at full speed.
Yesterday, the first group of people, Gia Wei, Hou Jung, and even the playful Ghu Sota, had broken through their mortal shells and were now Outer Sect disciples.
This ant the group only used 3 days to cultivate and break through since day one was just lecture day.
Donghai narrowed his eyes, searching himself deeply.
p
Donghai was still imrsed in his thoughts when suddenly, he saw a strange being running across the forest path down the hill.
And the next thing he knew, he fell into a deep hole.
Bam!!
