Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 18: Strict Teacher

Multiple eyes were in a permanent state of unending shock. The youths listening nearly thought their ears failed them for a minute. And Instructor Lei was still going over the duo's papers.

Perfect marks! In the entire history of the whole Zakira academy, rarely could anyone, even if they were a genius, score perfect marks. It was then another realization crossed Instructor Lei's mind.

Rarely would one finish the test so fast, and rarely can one ever achieve perfect marks. However, there has never been a time in their entire history where both happened simultaneously.

Only until now...moreover, it wasn't just one youth but two at the same time! Lowering their papers down, Instructor Lei's attention and suspicion towards these two grew at an all-time high.

Despite their shabby appearance, these two have made in-depth insight into Profound Qi and cultivation as a whole. And just from their writings, Instructor Lei can tell they hold plenty of experiences already.

Truly you can't judge one book by its cover. Now, all that left is to wonder how these two properly apply their knowledge in combat. Unknowingly this thought caused great interest for Instructor Le.

'These two have to get reported back to her...I have a feeling the final round of testing won't be so ordinary.' Instructor Lei already had future plans for the duo.

Getting his face back into a neutral state, Instructor Lei nodded at the two, telling them, "You can go back to your seats now, you both perfectly passed. Once the others are done, you two can go first for the final round of testing."

Darcel stoically nodded at Instructor Lei while Aniela brightly smiled and nodded. Turning around, they saw the other thirteen youths still staring with slight bewilderment.

By Instructor Lei's acknowledgment, this just one hundred percent confirms Darcel and Aniela's perfect marks! Their perfect marks caused merely one big question in all of their minds.

Just how can early order poor looking kids achieve this?! Unlike Instructor Lei, their thoughts were a bit more narrow-minded, given their lack of experience.

However, their musing about the two was caught short when Instructor Lei told them,

"I would recommend getting back to your own test. You'll need the time."

Like it was a snap back into reality, the thirteen other youths quickly switched focus back on their tests. Though the thought of those two achieving perfect marks will never get out of their heads.

Darcel and Aniela came back to their seats, relaxing in it as the other youths' scores were unconcerning to them.

.

"Well, well, this is certainly more than usual who pass our test. But nevertheless, good work! Now you all have only one more test to pass to officially make it into our academy."

Currently, in the testing room, there was only Darcel, Aniela, the handsome young boy, and the short cute girl.

Compared to Darcel and Aniela, the other two had only passed their tests with barely average marks.

And of course, for the other eleven youths, they had all miserably failed. Once failing, another Instructor had shown up to escort them out of the academy.

Failure was a part of anyone's journey in life. Still, this failure didn't have such a significant impact on those eleven youths. Not when there were apparently two intelligent freaks about to join the academy.

For the handsome boy and cute girl they were also intensely curious about how the duo will perform on this second test now, whatever it may be.

But they still had their own determination to not lose out again!

"And? Just what would be our final climatic test?" Aniela boldly spoke up and asked. While she didn't bother sparing passing glances at the others who failed, it did feel good being in a superior position to them.

It had fueled her excitement to once again show off and rocked the mind of anymore ignorant she and Darcel would for sure meet.

Cracking a small smile at Aniela's enthusiasm, Instructor Lei told them,

"This will be the combat portion of the test. Here you will have the option to choose any Spirit Monsters at your realm or higher to beat. And while this may sound simple, you will only be granted with a minute and a half to score a perfect kill."

While Instructor Lei explained, Darcel had suddenly gained a thought. For a prestigious academy, this surely wouldn't be the only way one can pass the combat portion.

After all, what else is the perfect way to gauge somebody's full prowess besides fighting another human? Swiftly Darcel had then asked,

"Instructor Lei, this isn't the only way we could pass this portion, right?"

"You...well, yes, this isn't the only way. If you so choose to, you can pit yourself against a pre-existing student here. If you win, you will gain much better rewards than fighting a Spirit Monster. But don't think this way is easy. Every student here has had extensive training and classes where even the weakest students here are far stronger than the average adult at their levels."

Even as he explained it, Instructor Lei didn't see any change of expression on Darcel's face. Hell, Aniela seemed to be getting even more pumped up about this test.

In direct contrast, the handsome boy and cute girl held serious expressions.

They, compared to the duo, know of the various legendary tales about the students here. And they knew Instructor Lei wasn't bluffing in the slightest.

However, against all the odds, Aniela's bubbly voice spoke up first, saying, "Such great build up there! But we're pretty sure what the best option for us is testing our might against these strong students."

"Indeed, this option seems much more engaging than stomping on mindless beasts."

Two ludicrous, bold statements were said with complete confidence by Darcel and Aniela. Just what the hell is giving these two such convictions?

Not even the handsome boy and cute girl wanted to try against the students. And they both were above the late order stage of the Qi Formation sea realm!

"...Are you sure about this? Every student is blessed with various high tiers cultivation manuals and martial skills that give them an overwhelming edge in battle. It's not so good to be so confident all the time, you know?"

Instructor Lei had advised them as he thought about the academy history. And he could only count on his fingers of the time when an outsider had beaten an official student.

If one doesn't come from official graded tier organizations, sects, or clans. Then it would be immensely difficult for that person to ever accurately grow and train out their full prowess.

Every graded tier place has at base cultivation resources, manuals, weapons, and martial skills to beat any average person.

And for most graded tier places, they would even have their own unique resources for their people to grow.

If one isn't lucky enough to be born in a graded tier clan or family, it was then all about joining one of these places.

Darcel and Aniela knew a bit about such matters like this.

But they also know their talent, and latent prowess isn't anything like the average person. In fact, they were sure most students here would be ordinary in comparison to them!

"How could we not be sure? I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't one hundred percent." Darcel snorted slightly and explained with utmost confidence.

"Mnh! There's far more passion in trading blows with fellow talented people as well!" Aniela felt her enthusiasm grow more at the second. Nothing can change their minds now.

Realizing this point, Instructor Lei looked at the other two youths, telling them, "Since they are going first, you two will have to wait a bit. And as for you two, if you're so adamant about this, then so be it. Everyone follow me."

While talking, Instructor Lei had fished out a purple ring from his pocket. Injecting a small portion of his energy into it, the ring ignited in a little swift purple flash.

'I wonder what Zala will think about them at first' Instructor Lei silently thought to himself as he started walking towards the door.

"Hey, you two! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled so you can expand your ignorant minds." Aniela had suddenly called out to the two youths who were in a slight shock.

Her words did get them to jolt back to reality and creased their eyebrows. Seriously, what's with this girl and her jovial attitude?

"Don't fall behind now." Darcel sent them a condescending smirk as he followed out behind Aniela and instructor Lei.

"Tch! They're acting like they already won! There's just no way in hell they'll win" The handsome boy lagged behind the three, still refusing to believe those two hold some great prowess.

He thought the duo might've just read a lot during their childhood and had no real fighting prowess.

Unlike Instructor Lei, the boy couldn't understand most of the test's meaning, which led him to still underestimate them.

Only the cute short girl was quiet. Her thoughts were on figuring out the anomaly know as Darcel and Aniela.

.

By Instructor Lei's guide, the five had quickly made it to a massively vast arena. There was one colossal stone stage at the center of this arena where the bright blue sky shined down on it.

Amazingly enough, as Darcel and Aniela observed, this section of the academy had the sky on full display. The Qi here was a bit more turbulent than other areas of the academy as well.

The duo's eyes looked forward, and off to the side stone stage were a small crowd of students.

However, there was a particularly lovely sight most eyes seemed to be focused on, standing right in front of the stone stage.

It was a stunningly beautiful woman that most eyes couldn't stop looking at her. Her face was gorgeous with small cute eyebrows and bright pouty red lips.

Flowing down to her waist, elegantly was strikingly gorgeous black hair. And the most bewitching thing about this woman was her large bountiful breasts, sexy curvaceous body, and a captivating large ass.

Everything was also further complimented by her sleek dark purple uniform that tightly fit her body, enchanting all the right places about her. She was a real beauty!

Although what got Darcel and Aniela interested in this woman wasn't her appearance. It was the fact she was the strongest person the two had sensed since coming to this planet.

Her natural aura was graceful and unfathomable! Not even Instructor Lei had this kind of aura when the two had sensed him for the first time.

"So you're finally here, Instructor Lei...are those the two that will be challenging a student?" The voice that came out of this woman was a warm but stern one.

Immediately you can tell she was by the books sort of person.

And the ones that the woman had pointed to were not Darcel and Aniela but were the handsome young boy and short cute girl.

Logically it made the most sense since those two were far higher in level compared to the duo.

The small crowd of students also looked over to Instructor Lei's group with somewhat expectant faces. Not every day or rarely at all does a random outsider decide to challenge a student.

"Actually, Teacher Zala, the one who's going to challenge are these two." Instructor Lei motioned to Darcel and Aniela, who remained calm and steady.

"Eh? Really? Just those two?"

"You're telling me those two Peak order Qi Formation kids won't challenge, but those two early orders will?"

"I guess I could use a hearty laugh"

The crowds of students who were previously here for their own matches began mockingly commenting at all four youths. Teacher Zala didn't even care about their comments as she stared at Darcel and Aniela.

And as far as first impressions go, there was nothing significant about these two at all. Shabby clothes, low realm, and no real mysterious auras...it was almost disappointing knowing these two would fight.

"So it really is you two? If you're here believing you can take on the weakest student here and win, you might as well just leave right now!"

Teacher Zala's words were cold and uncaring, cutting straight to the point. The students and even the two youths behind the duo also agreed with Teacher Zala's comments.

No matter what, random averages can't compared with official training!

Only Instructor Lei remained indifferent, but his anticipation was slowly rising.

In response, Darcel and Aniela only glanced over to Instructor Lei, who was keeping quiet. Seeing this, the duo decided to cut loose if people are going to keep secrets!

"Why would we bother with that? But I do only have one question. For students at our level, does anyone have a single shared room?"

Darcel and Aniela stared right into Teacher Zala's eyes with an unwavering expression. This time Teacher Zala started to feel...a small odd premonition. As if something just started without her knowing.

But she paid no heed to this feeling, indifferently answering Darcel's question with, "We do have two roommates sharing one room. But they are one of the strongest early order Qi Formation Sea students here. Barely anyone even inside the academy can match them at their level."

"Well? Isn't this convenient for us! Darcel and I will take them on!" Abruptly everyone stuttered when Aniela's cheerful voice ranged out through the arena.

Did they really just hear, right? Even after being told students at their level couldn't match those pairs, she still wanted to fight them?!

"Are you two joking around with this?" Teacher Zala had slight annoyance in her voice, but then Darcel immediately countered with,

"What reason do we have to joke? Since they have a room, I will take on one, and Aniela will take on the other. Are there any rules against this?"

Darcel's calming bold tone echoed out in the arena carrying the same shocking impact on everyone's mind.
